Line 7: '''''Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann''''' (roughly "Heaven-Piercing Crimson Face") is what happens when [[Studio Gainax]] [[Tempting Fate\|is asked to create]] a [[Saturday Morning Cartoon]]. Lonely orphan Simon (pronounced [[No Pronunciation Guide\|~~(pronounced~~ "SHI-mon" in Japanese]] and [[Gratuitous French\|"SEE-mon" in the dub)]]) lives in an underground village, digging for ancient artifacts and eating pigmoles. His [[Big Brother Mentor\|self-appointed big brother]], Kamina, is a [[Idiot Hero\|hot-headed idiot]] who dreams of going to the "Surface" as his father did (despite the village elder constantly saying the "Surface" doesn't exist). Then Simon discovers a strange drill-shaped key—and, soon after, a pint-sized mecha which responds to the key. Line 448: * [[I Am Legion]]: {{spoiler\|The Anti-Spiral King.}} * [[Icon of Rebellion]]: The Team Dai-Gurren symbol and flag. * [[I Feel Angry]]: Nia. * [[Idiosyncratic Episode Naming]]: Each arc uses a line from one character—first Kamina, then Nia, then Rossiu, and finally Simon—as the title for each episode. Also, to follow suit, the title cards for each arc have their own typeset. * [[Idiot Hero]]: At first glance, Kamina ''screams'' this trope. However, he is actually a good planner and [[Combat Pragmatist]] when the time is right. Line 469 ⟶ 468: * [[Inventing the Wheel]]: Averted - The new high technology used after the timeskip is all influenced by Gunmen designs, so all civilian vehicles move on legs or have hoverpads attached with nary a wheel in sight. Basing everything on Gunmen also results in ''skyscrapers'' with faces... ** Even mundane appliances like clothes irons, TV sets, and ''doors'' have faces! * [[Is This What Anger Feels Like?]]: Nia. * [[It Is Pronounced "Tro-PAY"]]: Simon is pronounced "Sea-moan" rather that "Sigh-mun", and Viral's name is pronounced "veer-al". ** [[Fridge Brilliance]]: Simon's name is pronounced with a French or Spanish accent. Since he isn't an English-speaker (the language shown on Leeron's displays is neither English nor Japanese), there's no reason why his name should have the English pronunciation.
