Anti-Spiral



"We Anti-Spirals were once a Spiral race like yourselves. But when we learned that the evolution of Spiral Power would lead to the destruction of the universe, we annihilated all those who possessed the power of the Spiral, and drove the few surviving life forms to the far corners of the universe. We halted our own evolution and locked ourselves away into this pocket universe! On our homeworld we sealed away our bodies and any hope of evolution! This form is the symbol of our determination! Foolish creatures, drunk on Spiral Power! We defended the universe by killing our fellow spirals and halting our own evolution! Do you possess the sheer fortitude that is on par with that?! DO YOU?! WE SAY, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NOT! AT! ALL!!!"

-Anti-Spiral

The Anti-Spiral are the ultimate villain in the anime Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann. To save the universe from a disaster known as the Spira Nemesis, they locked away their bodies, and fought any Spiral being that opposed them. They, however, do not kill if they don't need to. They believe in absolute despair, taking away someone's hope by fighting them with the same potential they have, and winning. If an oppenent is too strong they will try to talk the oppenent out of their ways, as they did to Lord Genome, or, if they will not listen to their "reason" they would go with the despair.

In the final battle, Simon and his crew were the first Spiral race to ever reach the Anti-Spiral home world, pushing them harder than they ever had been pushed before. When Simon and company use their spiral power to create the Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann, the anti-spiral created a mech on par with it, the Grand Zamboa. Both mechs are as big as a galaxy. The ultimate attack of the Grand Zamboa is the Infinity Big-Bang Storm attack, which, you guessed it, has the power of the big bang. Yet Simon and the gang over come, and defeat the Anti-Spiral. The final words the Anti-Spiral say are along the lines of, please, protect the universe. While their intentions may have been good, it is their ruthless execution and how they force their beliefs on the Spiral races that make them bad.
