Episode Content:

Wow, Rossiu is the biggest asshole in this whole series. It's one thing to make a power grab by blaming everything on Simon. It's another thing entirely to take advantage of Kinon's devotion by strapping a huge amount of bombs to her and making her a hostage to reign in Simon. "What Rossiu has gone through"??!?! We all know exactly what he's gone through. He lost his mother to stupid asshole laws he's enforcing right now. His ass was saved by Kamina, Yoko, and Simon. He sat while Simon did all the work from the cockpit. He secretly plotted to control the world from the moment of Dai-Gurren's victory over the Helix King. He's gone through nothing. Simon and Kamina have taken a beating for him, giving their all to make it safe for everyone. This is how he repays their actions? They should have left him to die alone on the surface, but I'm glad they are better people than he is.

You felt a little despair of your own seeing Kittan miss him. I was convinced he would connect. What an asshole. Kiyoh and Kiyal are going to be pissed when they find out what he did, even if it is Kinon's choice.

As a side note, the mushroom cloud was badass. So was Lon creeping Gimmy out.

My speculations
I think it should be obvious that loyalists will side with The Asshole, while Simon's rescuers will include Viral, Yoko, Gimmy, Darry, Lon, and probably Kiyal (the one who didn't give birth) and a few others. Then Simon and crew will steal the Lagann back and steal the Arc ship right from under Rossiu, blow up the moon, and continue the war.

EDIT: Two things I totally forgot.

1) Kinon getting bounced around by the acceleration of the Gurren-Lagann. Totally unnecessary, a bit distracting, and totally awesome.

2) More importantly, ninja-Nia is still wearing the ring.

Simon may have come to the conclusion she's no longer who he knew, but she's in there. Whether it is to make him more tortured, or a small part of sweet Nia still exists, we don't know.
