Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. "Don't believe in yourself, believe in me who believes in you." What episode is this first uttered in, and by which character?

Answer: Episode 1, Kamina

This can be considered (one of) Kamina's catchphrases. It doesn't make much sense at first glance, but it gives Simon the confidence he needs to succeed in many situations. It is repeated several times throughout the series.

2. What is the name of Viral's ganmen before any upgrades or changes are made to it?

Answer: Enki

Enkidu is its name after it loses its helmet, Enkidudu is its name after it is upgraded, and Gurren is the name of Kamina's ganmen. Interesting to note that all of Viral's ganmen's forms are named after Sumerian myths: Enki is the Sumerian god of wisdom, and Enkidu is a figure in the Sumerian epic poem of "Gilgamesh".

3. Which of these characters is NOT dead at the series' conclusion?

Answer: Rossiu

Staying true to Gainax's tendency to kill of all of the major characters before the end of the show, Kittan, Kidd, and Ailac all meet their ends along with most of the Great Gurren Brigade.

4. What is Nia's true origin?

Answer: She's a messenger for the Anti-Spirals

After the timeskip, Nia's body is possessed and she fulfills her true purpose as a messenger for the mysterious race known as the "Anti-Spirals".

5. Simon's voice actor, Tetsuya Kakihara, has lent his voice to all of the following EXCEPT for one. Which is it?

Answer: Gundam SEED

He plays Mikoto in "Princess Princess", Koro-chan in "Doki Doki School Hours", and was the voice of Leonardo in the Japanese dub of the "Teenage Mutant Turtles".

6. What's the name of the second ending song?

Answer: Minna no Peace

"UNDERGROUND" is the first ending song, "Sora iro Days" is the opening song, and "happily ever after" is a special ending theme for episode 16.

7. At the Gainax wrap party for "Gurren Lagann", Viral was revealed to be a hybrid of which two animals?

Answer: Shark/Cat

Not something you need to know to enjoy the series, but interesting nonetheless. The species of other major beastmen have yet to be confirmed, but speculation has been made: Adine is part scorpion and part snake, Thymilph is some kind of gorilla, Cytomander is a type of bird, and Guame is a mix of crocodile and armadillo.

8. Ganmen are powered by which of these?

Answer: Spiral energy/fighting spirit

Spiral Energy, within the series, is the power of evolution itself, and is only found within Spiral beings.

9. Madarame, a character from the anime "Genshiken", shares a voice actor with which character?

Answer: Viral

Viral and Madarame are both voiced by Noboyuki Hiyama, also known for his roles in "Bleach", "Yu Yu Hakusho", and most famously in the video game series "Legend of Zelda".

10. Kamina and Simon are both from Ritona Village.

Answer: False

They're both from Jiiha village. Yoko is the one from Ritona, and Rossiu is from Adai village.

11. Which episode was guest-directed by Osamu Kobayashi?

Answer: Episode 4

Episode 4 was received with much criticism by fans on internet message boards, creating an incident that led to Takami Akai (producer and co-founder of Gainax) announcing his intention to leave the company.

12. What animation studio produced "Gurren Lagann"?

Answer: Gainax

Gainax is known for its popular, high-quality and often groundbreaking or quirky series, such as: "Neon Genesis Evangelion", "FLCL", "Magical Shopping Arcade Abenobashi", and "His and Her Circumstances".

13. Which one of these characters has Yoko not kissed?

Answer: Rossiu

She planted her lips on both Kamina and Kittan. The fact that they both died soon after has earned her the nickname "Doombitch" among fans.

14. Leeron has been proven to be of the male gender.

Answer: False

When he is introduced he says that he "could be either man or woman", and we never see any evidence to prove it one way or the other.

15. In what episode does Kamina tell Simon, "Don't believe in me who believes in you - believe in yourself!"

Answer: Episode 8

He says this moments before his death in episode 8.
