Trigger-verse feats, lore & respect discussion

(...Continued from above.)

Croix uses her Sorcery Units to attack the Noir Rod and damage it, but it just regenerates with more Noir Fuel Spirit Energy (which seem to have come from the Sorcery Units after they exploded) and attacks her.

Akko then uses a Shiny Arc attack to destroy the Noir Rod. When it was destroyed, the leylines returned to normal and magic returns.

The Noir Rod is is an artificial Shiny Rod designed to obtain the world-altering magic. It takes not only all of the Noir Fuel Spirit and Pixel Demon Beasts energy, but also absorbs all of the magical power around it (including in multiple overlapping dimensions). It breaks open the seal of the Nine Witches by force, but then goes out of control and turns into a monster because of all the negative energy it absorbed.

An artificial shiny rod developed by Croix to obtain the sealed world-altering magic. The Noir Fuel Spirit and Pixel Beasts collect people's negative emotions, and in addition, absorb all the magical powers around them to activate them. Transformed into a flight form and headed for the Arcturus Forest, where the Grand Triskellion was sealed. The seal is broken by force, but the negative emotions collected are too strong and runaway.

On that note, the Noir Rod breaks open the seal to the Grand Triskellion by force, which was sealed by the Nine Old Witches (I don't think this would mean the Noir Rod would fully scale to the Nine Old Witches, but it's still a very impressive feat). It can also shapeshift and change form.

When Croix takes the Grand Triskellion, the surroundings change, and she enters some dark place, with the Nine Old Witches watching.

So the Noir Rod not only contained an immense amount of energy from all over the city (possibly all over the country) that was far more than the amount of Fuel Spirit energy Chariot used to scar the Moon, but also nullified the leylines so that magic didn't work (outside self-contained sources) in multiple overlapping dimensions (and the Noir Rod could still move between dimensions and call Noir Pixels across dimensions even without the leylines). Croix is able to damage it, but it regenerates afterwards (although that could be because it feeds off the power source of her magitronics, which are also powered by Noir Fuel Spirit). Akko and Diana damage the Noir Rod, and Akko destroys it with a Shiny Arc.

It's hard to tell what degree of power nullifying the leylines is, as it was localised, but this still effected magic across multiple dimensions (several of which were warped into existence by the leylines themselves). Plus at absolute minimum, the Noir Rod would have far more energy than Chariot did when she scarred the Moon. This means the Noir Rod is at absolute minimum very casually large planet level, although it's possible that it could be ridiculously higher.

Diana Canvendish can manipulate time, being able to freeze and reverse it's flow. However, these spells only work on inorganic substances and for a very short time.

Magic that delays the flow of time for a short time. Akko and Amanda knock down the labware while refining the magic drug in the lab. At that time, Diana used this magic. The debris scattered in the air was stopped. Effective only for inorganic substances.

The cartridge used in the final episode of SSSS.Dynazenon has the same vaccine program Naoto used in the first episode of the live-action series, further confirming that the original toku is canon to the Gridman animes (as such, things from the anime would apply in turn not only to Hyper Agent Gridman, but potentially to the further Ultraverse, although only things from SSSS.Gridman, SSSS.Dynazenon and other Gridman would be scalable to the Ultraverse).

The contents of the cartridge to be loaded are the vaccine program made by Naoto in the first episode of the live-action version.

The planets of different Trigger series have different values to their original works. As such, Sechan (Sex-chan?) is just a doll, and the magic wands are just tableware (this also means that lifefibers in the original KLK universe(s) very likely don't have the same weakness to fire that lifefibers in the Luluco universe has).

With that, that is more or less everything archived from the old site. In regards to upcoming content, at least two titles have been confirmed; Cyberpunk Edgerunners and Gridman X Dynazenon (as well as rumours of Star Wars Visions season 2, but that is yet to be confirmed, and even if true it's unknown if Trigger will return or not). There's also several supplementary material books I hope to look into over the coming months, so keep an eye open for those.

SSSS.Dynazenon Super Complete Works has arrived! I'm still looking through it and finding accurate translations, but already there's a considerable amount of impressive stuff in it already.

The history of Gauma and the Kaiju Eugenicists; 5000 years ago, mankind was already a highly advanced civilization. In an ancient Chinese kingdom, they controlled kaiju and used them as weapons. One of them, Gauna, falls in love with the princess. When people grew afraid of the Kaiju Users and tried to attack them, the rest of the Kaiju Users became the Kaiju Eugenicists and attack the country. Gauma stands against them, and they all seemingly die. 5000 years pass since then...

5000 years ago from now. Mankind had already built a high civilization. At that time, there were kaiju that were born from kaiju seeds and grew on the emotions of humans. In a certain kingdom, kaiju were manipulated and used as weapons. It was responsible for the protection of the country. The manipulation of the kaiju is called a Kaiju User, and five people, Gauma, Juuga, Onija, Mugina and Sizumu, served as Kaiju Users in the kingdom. The Kaiju Users were feared in the kingdom because they used the terrifying existence of kaiju, but the princess of the kingdom was concerned about them, such as working as a Kauji User. And Gauma and the princess are in love with each other in the rice field. However, from the point where a group fearing Kaiju Users tried to assassinate them, Kaiju Users other than Gauma called themselves the Kaiju Eugenicits idea and rebelled against the country, Gauma also manipulates the Kaiju and confronts the idea of monster Yusei who manipulates the kaiju and attacks the country. The monsters they control have gone through a fierce battle. Gauma and the Kaiju Eugenicists thought were dead, and and the Kaiju Users were wiped out...Gauma, who fought for the country, was buried as a mummy, and 5000 years have passed.

Kaiju Users are free from all limitations and bounds, but they cannot love. Kaiju Users also don't need to eat or sleep, and in the past we do not see any death. Not only do Kaiju Users transcend time, space, life & death, but as Amemiya said in his design notes has said that the technology of kaiju seeds comes from 20,000 years into the future, so it's possible that Simizu has transcended time and space and gotten the kaiju seeds from 20,000 years in the future.
(Relevant text)

What is a Kaiju User?
As for the monster messenger, there is a lot of Simuzu talking about it, so from that line in the first episode that can be inferred, there is a line saying "I understand why Gauma is no longer a Kaiju User and has returned to humans. It's the same as you guys now." The fact that "Gauma is the same as you now" after "Nao" may indicate that Gauma and Princess, and Homura and Yume were connected by love. In other words, if you thinkg about it in the case of Gauma, you can say that "a person who gains love is no longer a Kaiju User" and conversely, "a Kaiju User is a person who cannot obtain love." In addition, Simizu talks about freedom and inconvenience several times, and in the final episode, the Kaiju User is bound by everything from the line "you loose your freedom unknowingly" to Yogomi who refused the Kaiju User. It can be said they are free people at their own pace without being bound by anything. Even with that in mind, Mujina couldn't get love from anyone, and in the end she could only be a Kaiju User, and the free action that the monster Yogomi thought showed would also make a point.

Regarding Simizu, the line, "A true Kaiju User never sleeps," and the fact that Simizu is never depicted sleeping or eating, and that death or not is not depicted in the tenth episode's description of the past. The line in the last episode, "With the power of a monster, you are free from time and space, from living and dying," suggests that Simizu had obtained "impermanent freedom" through the power of a monster and had become an existence that transcended life and death. Also, as shown in Director Amemiya's rough sketch in the upper left corner, the monster seeds are technology from 20,000 years in the future, and this setting together with the description of Simizu may be interpreted to mean that Simizu, which has transcended time and space, procured the monster seeds from 20,000 years in the future.

The full trailer for Cyberpunk Edgerunners is out! Only a month to go now!

We can already see a few feats in action (David moving so fast that he appears to be in multiple places at once, moving so fast that smoke from what might be a gun looks stationary). There's also several impressive looking explosions, but we'll have to wait to see if they actually scale to anyone. A shotgun blast moves a police car about half a foot sideways and turns the inhabitants to moosh.

We also have the second inside look at Edgerunners. David is a character who starts out pretty relatable at first, but as his life begins to revolve around violence his personality changes. Lucy is a character who's meant to be a badass femme fatale, but at the same time also cute. Trigger and CD Project Red have been working together on this for 3 or 4 years (which would mean they've been planning this not only prior to the release of 2077, but also while Promare was still in development).

David's mother is named Gloria and the sinister looking guy with multiple eyes is Faraday.

Faraday is described as the "go to fixer in Pacifica" and will also appear in Cyberpunk 2077: Gangs of Night City (which implies he'll survive the events of Edgerunners).

Along with David and Lucy, the rest of the gang are Maine, Rebecca, Pilar, Kiwi and Dorio.
Maine is a Solo, Kiwi is a Netrunner. Again, it's worth repeating that V can also get the same implants that David can potentially have and be just as fast (if not faster with technological developments).

In other news, Imaishi and Amemiya are currently debating over who will make the Muzzle anime (Imaishi had both the Trigger and Spring animes), and Wakabayashi said that if they ever make Luluco season 2 they hope to sort out all the alternate timelines (this confirms that each Trigger series is an alternate version of each other).

The three Trigger mascots are the Trigger Girls, Miss Trigger, Muzzle, and Spring. At the end of Space Patrol Luluco, we see her become Miss Trigger. It seems like Lucia Fex [from Promare] is based on Spring. When will Muzzle appear in an anime?

Wakabayashi: Currently at the studio, we have several head directors, Yoshinari, Imaishi, and [Akira] Amemiya. Yoshinari isn't that interested per say but Imaishi and Amemiya both are debating who gets to direct the anime that will feature Muzzle. Amemiya is saying, "You got your chance, what about me?" In the instance when we maybe make Space Patrol Luluco 2, we're figuring how we're going to make all the alternate timelines make sense.

Last but not least, Panty & Stocking season 2 has finally been confirmed! This is not only great news as PSG deserves another series, but also has tons of implications lorewise (there is only one Heaven and Hell for the entire Triggerverse).

I don't think I've posted this yet, but it's one of the biggest things to come out of Gridman in terms of lore and has massive implications; Alexis Kerib having infinite life not only means he's immortal; it means he's been alive for a literal infinite time period. You don't even need to read Japanese; you can clearly see the infinity symbol.

As such, we have 7 named multiverses in the Labyrinth, set up by the Anti-Spiral. Keep in mind however, that Gurren Lagann's cosmology involves infinitely branching universes from all possibilities at every instant, so really we're not only dealing with 8 multiverses, but uncountably infinite multiverses. We can even see them, when the Anti-Spiral is talking with LordGenome and Boota. Each "star" in the space between the 10th and 11th dimensions is an entire infinite branching multiverse, and there are numberless "stars".

In an interview with Nakashima, when asked about how time travel works in Batman Ninja, he says that it's inspired by American comics, where instead of travelling back in time to the same timeline, they travel back in time to a different timeline in the multiverse. He then goes on to explain how peoples perception of time has changed, from 4 dimensions to at least 11, and the Universe is a universe of all possibilities, and given all possible universes exist, you can simply say it happened in another universe. The interviewer then goes on to ask him about the quantum cosmology in Gurren Lagann, to which he replies he was reading up on advanced multiverse theory at the time, and he sent the theory of universes becoming real when observed to Gainax.

『ニンジャバットマン』はバットマンが戦国時代に飛ばされるといういわゆる「時間もの」です。日本のアニメだと、「過去を変えると現在が変わってしまう」という制約があって、時間もの、時間改変ものだとすごく慎重になる傾向があるように思います。そういうことを気にせず、思い切ってやっていますね。

中島：そこはアメコミなので。アメコミにはマルチバース、つまり宇宙がいっぱいあるという世界観の設定が読者にも浸透しています。そして今、時間改変ものはすなわち多元宇宙ものになるんですよね。あらゆる可能性の宇宙が全部あるってことだから、何をやっても「そっちの宇宙ね」となる（笑）。多元宇宙の解釈がこの何十年かでどっと進んで、僕らが子どものときは4次元止まりだったのが今では11次元とかって言われているじゃないですか。こちらは嘘をつくのが仕事なので、そういう理論を曲解して、面白い方に転がしていく。

そういえば『天元突破グレンラガン』（以下、『グレンラガン』）で、「観測されることによって存在する量子宇宙論」という話がありました。

中島：あの当時、宇宙論を調べると、しばらく読んでなかったからすごく進んでいることがわかりました。「観測されれば初めて確定される」という理論をいただいて、認識すればできる宇宙があるという設定にしました。

"Ninja Batman" is a so-called "time thing" in which Batman is transported to the Warring States period. In Japanese anime, there's a restriction that if you change the past, the present will change, and I think people tend to be very cautious when it comes to time-altered anime. You don't worry about that kind of thing, and you go out on a limb.

Nakashima: That's because it's American comics. The world setting of the multiverse, or a universe full of universes, permeates the readership of American comics. And now, the time-modifying stuff is going to be the multiverse stuff, right? There's a whole universe of all kinds of possibilities, so no matter what you do, you're like, "Oh, that universe!" (laughs). The interpretation of the multiverse has advanced so rapidly in the last few decades that when we were children, it was only 4-Dimensional, but now it is said to be 11-Dimensional. Our job is to tell lies, so we take those theories and twist them into something interesting.

Come to think of it, in "Gurren Lagann", there was a story about "quantum cosmology that exists by being observed".

Nakashima: When I looked up cosmology at that time, I hadn't read it for a while, so I found that it was very advanced. I was given the theory that the universe can be confirmed only if it is observed, and I set up the idea that there is a universe that can be created if we recognize it."

When asked about how Rossiu found LordGenome's head to make the bio-computer, Kazuki Nakashima begins by saying how there's a different version of how this happened in the DVD commentary and the novelization, and finishes by saying that as there are different versions that are prefered, as Gurren Lagann is the story of a multiverse, the version you, the viewer, prefers, can be the right one. This means that even the main Gurren Lagann timeline is composed of different alternate versions.

"Next. "When did Rosiu discover LordGenome?"

Nakashima: Oh, that is written in a novel. I explained it in the DVD audio commentary, but that is a lie (laughs). Novels are sold by mail, so those who like logic is there, and those who like interesting are the DVD version. "Gurren Lagann" is a story of the multiverse, so the "Gurren Lagann" audience you believe in!"

All of these possibilities where born in the first moments of the Big Bang, as per the quantum cosmology theory.

[Quantum Cosmology] A theory of the universe explained from the standpoint of quantum mechanics that deals the microcosmos right after the birth of the universe to the probabilistic interpretation of how the entire universe went from nothing to everything.

The manga version which describes the quantum nature of the Universe/Multiverse shows us the different dimensional universes, as well as how observing reality makes it fixed applies even to individual particles. This also tells us that the laws of observation apply to not just a single universe, and that the Universe is the term used to describe the cosmos.

How could we have been so blind? They eluded our super-Spiral scan sweeps by creating an imaginary oscillating time-space located between the membranes of the dimensional universes we call the 10th and 11th dimensions.

Click to expand...

What we call the universe is constructed on ambiguity. It only becomes a fixed reality when observed. That is a fundamental law of the universe. Even in a pocket universe, an object that has been observed at one time can be picked up on a Spiral scan.

Click to expand...

At every instant, new possibilities are observed and fixed in place. Should someone be made to see all of them at once, they would be frozen in place.

Nakashima: Indeed. We are opposed to each other because we are in the same position. Also, I was impressed by a story I heard from my university psychology teacher around that time. He said, "I feel sorry for male students today." He said that if you take out 6 crayons and ask them to choose their favorite color, they can choose, but if you take out 120 colors, they can't choose. In other words, today's boys have so many choices that they can't choose. Girls, on the other hand, unfortunately, still have only about six colors to choose from, so they are able to choose cheerfully. When I heard that, I thought, "That's exactly what I'm talking about!". The reason for the youth's sense of boredom I was feeling fell into my own hands. And then, with a snap, I was blown away by "Gurren".

It is. When "presented with infinite possibilities," a person can't do anything but stand still and become stuck. But in the end, the only choice one can make is one's own will. That's what I wanted to convey to the young people, to show them that kind of straightforwardness as entertainment. That's the fourth part of the story.

The Multiverse is a universe which is made real at the moment of recognition, and the ultimate trap of the Anti-Spiral based on an expanded interpretation of quantum cosmology. The Multiversal Labyrinth is a logical quantum trap which traps its victims forever, and even prior to throwing Simon and his friends in, the Anti-Spiral had thrown in many Spiral Warriors.

"Trapped in the Multiverse. Last resort developed by the Anti-Spiral. It was a "multiverse" that traps people in infinite possibilities. I might be there, the future I wanted to be like this. People will stand up before the possibility of spreading anywhere. That is exactly the Anti-Spiral trap that takes away "will to live" from a person. The crew of the Super Galaxy Gurren Lagann are trapped in the multiverse. Stolen from their consciousness, they are simply drifting through the ocean of infinite possibilities ......"

"Each in the Multiverse"
The "multiverse" is a universe that becomes real at the moment of recognition. It is a logical trap that no intelligent creature can escape from the multiverse forever because the possibility of a possible future changes directly into a universe. In Simon's case, for example, he is trapped in the possibility that if Kamina were alive and did not fight the beastmen, he wouldn't have died. There is an infinite number of possibilities, and hell will follow. It is no longer possible to return to the real universe after being affected by a different kind of multiverse . The strongest and worst trap for the people by an expanded interpretation of quantum cosmology. The Anti-Spiral has dropped numerous Spiral warriors up to this point and forced them to ruin."

The Spiral Nemesis is a threat to all island universes, and when triggered it becomes a Big Crunch and destroys all space, time and dimensions into a single dimensionless point (remember that dimensions are different universes).

Simon knows that. However, even though he knew it, it was like a ripple in his mind. It was just a small ripple, but the Anti-Spiral's words continued like the wind on the wave. "That's what you do. You Spirals will always move forward, eating what you hold dear, with its destructive impulses as an instinct, not a care in the world. The cluster of galaxies spread out in front of us, a calm space where many island universes coexist in gravitational equilibrium. The Spiral force is the force that connects the universe to life. A single life can draw on the power of the infinite universe. But that force cannot be controlled by life. That's the truth of this universe," they said, filling in the green glow here and there in the cluster of galaxies. That same green glow erupted from Simon's body, which disrupted the equilibrium of the galaxy cluster. Simon knew that it was the truth of the Spiral. That it was a Spiral force run amok. The Anti-Spiral's words continue. "The Spiral force goes out of control , and the energy emanating from the body becomes a galaxy. When the Spiral force begins to run goes out of control, in an instant, as many galaxies as there are lives in the universe are born. The excess galaxies will devour each other to become black holes and the universe will return to nothingness. That is Spiral Nemesis. A runaway called evolution.

In the blink of an eye, the entire universe is destroyed.
That's right.
In front of Simon, the scene was exactly as the Anti-Spiral had told it, where the green light erupted from peoples bodies, becoming a galaxy and then becoming a super-galaxy cluster. It's a momentary event. The excess galaxy cluster was born instantly, and due to its enormous gravity time and space is crushed into a dimensionless point. The opposite of the Big Bang, the Big Crunch.
All beings returned to nothing. In a moment.
This is the Spiral Nemesis. It is the end of the Universe caused by Spiral Power.
"No way..."
Simon understood.
Not only Simon. All living creatures aboard the Super Galaxy Gurren Lagann understood. Directly appealing to the brain, not words.
And they were eaten by the Universe.
Their consciousness was consumed by the labyrinth of the Multiverse that they could never escape.

The Anti-Spiral transcends time and space, and controls the multiple dimensions (in order to manipulate probability and set up the Labyrinth).

Simon's greatest enemy is this universe itself The greatest, strongest, and most fearsome enemy that attempts to eradicate all creatures with spiral power. Even before Simon and his comrades, numerous Spiral warriors have challenged the Anti-Spiral and been buried. Its form has no discernible substance, has capability to lightly transcend time and space, controls the multiple dimensions. It is truly an entity that can be called "the universe itself".

The Anti-Spiral homeworld is seperated from the rest of the space-time continuum, and made of a non-euclidean substance.

It is a strange room. It is not even a room. It is a place separated from continuous time and space. It is surrounded by walls, but I couldn't tell if it is matter, or if it is fixed time, or if it is something else entirely. It doesn't radiate anything. It doesn't reflect anything. It is not interfered with by any time in the universe. It is an independent time flowing only in this room.

Nia's scream is the only sound that echoed in the empty room. The Anti-spiral's homeworld. The space between the tenth and eleventh dimensions. An empty space-time on this planet, separated from both time and space. Nia, trapped there, is now about to be completely analyzed by the Anti-Spiral's original form. "No matter how much you examine my body, you will never be able to defeat them now. He will come, you can be sure of that." Nia said, desperately trying to regenerate. She brings back memories of the past and spins her body with them. "It's useless, irregular." But the Anti-Spiral instantly read the truth of the information.

The Anti-Spiral can stop time in their pocket universe.

The universe was a closed universe. How many years were reassembled there? Of course, it doesn't make sense to count the time that has passed by in this space. Until known, there will be enemies who have been frozen. Time began to flow again with that information. The isolated universe, which was created solely for the purpose of eradicating the Spirals, are a major element that make up the universe.

Thanks to Super Galaxy Gurren Laganns Transcendal Spiral Engines, it's capable of perpetually sustaining Giga Drills (Spiral Energy turned into mass), where as Gurren Lagann and Arc Gurren Lagann's Giga Drills put too much strain on the pilots.

A Giga Drill is a collection of materialized Spiral Energy. Gurren Lagann and Ark Gurren Lagann, which require enormous power, can be substantiated for a certain period of time during battle. This is because the operator's burden is too heavy. However, the Super Galaxy Gurren Lagann always wears their gigantic Giga Drills on both shouldiers. This is possible only if there is a transcendental spiral engine that produces Super Spiral Power. It was also a symbol of the overwhelming power of the Super Galay Gurren Lagann.

Super Galaxy Gurren Lagann is capable of fully syncing its engine with a spiral galaxy (note that it's capable of this even without the energy of the Death Spiral Abyss.

In Arc Gurren Lagann, Gurren Lagann is turning drills as well. Simon is releasing Spiral Power in the cockpit of Lagann. Spiral Power is the force by which the spiral factors that make up spiral lifeforms are synchronized with spiral galaxies, and the potentials inside the galaxies are converted into energy and emitted. Theoretically, one life can release as much energy as one universe. Synchronizing the galaxy and life requires a complex and enormous electric signal emitted from the nervous centre of spiral life, that is, the power of the will. Life resonates with the galaxy due to the force of the transcendantal double helix.

The giant fake Nia is a quantum dummy designed to lure the Spiral races to a certain point in the Anti-Spiral dimension away from the Anti-Spiral Homeworld, capable of making an identical reaction to what was scanned for in a Super Spiral Sweep.

"I was killed..." said LordGenomes head, "behind the Spiral Cognitive Transfer System. It's a dummy that lures us into this universe. There's no Anti-Spiral planet here."
"Dummy?"
Leeron asks.
"Directively recognition fluctuation quantum. It responds to the conscious Spiral Search Enemy and takes an identical reaction according to the opponents search orientation."
"What do you mean?"
Dayakka was confused.
"Hmm, I was attracted to the times when I got the shape I expected, and warp to Nia."
Leeron replied, and Simon on the monitor heard.
"The it was the fact that you sensed Nia's ring?"
"No, it was the real thing that responded to the unconscious medium-spinning enemy. After that, when setting the super-transition outcome point, the object was misrecognized. This is an isolated space between dimension."

Not only does this include infinite Simon's, but all Simons past, present and future. There's also the implication that the Multiverse is cyclic, with references to the various lives repeating (although this could also refer to the branching nature of the Multiverse).

Simon held up his core drill to the heaven and a flash of light flashed across the sky. Countless appearances of Simon appeared in the sky, and they were the past, the present, and the future, every place, every time, and the innumerable selves that live in a world of infinite possibilities.
There is no escaping wherever you go. In a closed infinite universe, various lives are repeated.

Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann is a virtual quantum entity created by warping the multi-layered multiverse. Upon the defeat of the Anti-Spiral, it disappeared and the Multiverse returned to its natural state (meaning all the Simons, Gurren Laganns and other members of Team Dai-Gurren and their thoughts & experiences are returned to their proper places across space and time). This is the reason why LordGenome was able to manifest a body inside Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann; because the possibility of a Gurren Lagann piloted by LordGenome exists in the Multiverse.

During the fight between Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann and the Anti-Spiral, the Earth becomes visible to the fighters and the fight is visible from Earth, despite the combatants being the size of galaxies. This is because the power of the fight was so immense that space and time warped, causing a projection of the Earth to be visible, and for the fight to be visible from the Earth, when without the warping of space and time, the fight would have taken tens of thousands of years to be visible from Earth.

Yeah, it's too big to see (laughs).
Imaishi: Yes, that's right. What do you think about being able to see it because it's so big? When I asked him about it, he said no. What's more, you're talking about where the galaxy is.
Otsuka: It would take tens of thousands of years to see them.
Imaishi: Well, I think that's true. But by that time, I'm sure Nakashima-san will have found another reason for it! (laughs) because I was expecting it. I didn't say anything, thinking, "Maybe if I say something like this, Mr. Nakashima will come up with something good that doesn't change the picture."

The Nanda-class is a colossal robot battleship that resides in the Galactic Spiral Abyss. It appears in the novels, the manga and the script. Not only can it survive in super dense space, but it can move at incredible speeds.
The Nanda-class uses Spiral Wave Camoflage that prevents even the Super Galaxy Dai-Gurren's radar from picking it up (Super Galaxy Dai-Gurren's radar is capable picking up enemies in probability space).

The Nanda-class can fire multiple missiles the size of moons from its mouth.
Much like the Ashtanga, the Nanda can dispatch smaller robots to attack (although given they're comparable to the space gunmen in size, these robots are still the size of mountains).
The Nanda-class is even bigger than the moon-sized Super Galaxy Dai-Gurren, and Super Galaxy Dai-Gurren's shield deflects it (even in the Galactic Spiral Abyss).
It required multiple members of the Super Galaxy Brigade sacrificing themselves (Jorgen & Balinbow, Kid and Iraak) to destroy the Nanda-class.
