There’s also no joke about Jessica eating the seagulls and, of course, we end up not having a single scene of George making fun of Battler or being patronizing… or good with children for that matter. The anime also decides to make everyone look around for seagulls when in original it was just the cousins and Rosa. Battler’s longing for hearing the sound of seagulls will become an important plot point later on in the meta and here it gets lost. It’s minor but actually I don’t find it a good idea. In order to give George a ‘role’ the anime decides it will be him and not Battler the one who’ll notice there are no seagulls around. There were dozens of things more important to show that breasts jokes and yet they got cut. While it might give out the idea she’s a pranker… really, I get the feeling they left it just because breasts were involved and the scene made fun of Battler. It’s not promising.ĭue to the cuts though Jessica won’t get the chance to be over stressing about Battler’s fears of boats… actually she won’t even laugh over it and, while I found her behaviour annoying… well, erasing it takes away part of her characterization.ĭespite the various cuts the anime felt the need to let the scene in which Kumasawa asks Battler if he wants to touch her breasts. Overall Battler looks like a comic relief character.

In short so far the anime’s characterization of Battler told us he’s afraid to fall from boats (an useless info that doesn’t lead to any development), that he likes to touch girls’ breasts (another useless info as it will never be explained it’s only just an act and the way they portray it makes it look like he’s just a lecherous pervert) and that he gets beaten up by Jessica (a misleading info as it makes him look weaker than Jessica, not mentioning that in the VN he didn’t get beaten up at all). I’ve already said in the previous part that it moved some scenes that took place during the boat trip or prior to it to when the family arrives in Rokkenjima but now let’s look at them a little better.įirst of all, it ‘introduces’ one after the other 11 characters of the main cast… only for them there’s no real introduction apart from a quick mention and one or two words of descriptions (George is Battler’s cousin and is smart, Maria is Battler’s cousin and is cute and pure, Rosa is Maria’s mother, Hideyoshi and Eva are Battler’s uncle and aunt, Rudolf and Kyrie are his parents…) and, as you can read, they don’t really tell much about the characters.īattler’s meeting with Jessica is reduced to him asking to touch her breasts and her beating him for it. The anime… again cut a lot… but anyway… let’s look at it. Legend of the Golden Witch Part 3: Arrival at RokkenjimaĪnime transposition from: Ep 1 ‘Episode 1-1 Opening’ (part 3) The best feats in Gurren Lagann are multi-universal to low multiversal, but you can add a true multiversal feat in there with some stretching (the Anti-Spirals said that the Multiversal Labyrinth makes the universes real, so basically the ability became multiversal, but this is somewhat of a stretch).Umineko ramblings: Legend Part 3 (Arrival at Rokkenjima - anime transposition)

Yes, someone compares Simon to a God, but that's a far cry considering that even he has limitations. There isn't any omnipotent in Gurren Lagann. The characters I've enumerated (excluding Law of Identity, probably) aren't omnipotent but nigh-omnipotent, omniversal, multiversal, whatever you'll like to call them.

There are only like 3 or 4 actual omnipotents in anime/manga that I know of, and those are The Creator (Umineko no Naku Koro Ni), Azatoth (Demonbane), Kami Tenchi (Tenchi Muyo), The Law of Identity (Demon King Daimao). So there are more omnipotent beings in anime manga? how about in garren lagann?
