Biography[]
Thymilph is called by Viral while fighting Gurren Lagann, so he sets Dai-Gunzan there, being able to deal with the humans by himself. Dai-Gunzan almost destroys Gurren Lagann, but it is freed by another reprogrammed gunmen. Still, Thymilph makes them stay to their positions, preparing to destroy Gurren Lagann. However, he is tricked by Simon and crushed to the canyon along with his forces.
Next day, when humans attack, Thymilph throws his troops to the enemies and provides supporting fire with Dai-Gunzan. However, it is a trick, so Simon and his gunman Lagann enter to Dai-Gunzan's blind spot and nearly hit Thymilph by Lagann's Impact Technique. Understanding that humans almost took over his Dai-Gunzan, Thymilph becomes furious and uses his personal gunman Byakou for a sudden attack which mortally wounds Kamina.
This leads to Simon's mental breakdown, and, as he is connected to the Dai-Gunzan, Dai-Gunzan becomes berserk itself. Thymilph is nearly hit by Dai-Gunzan's leg, but Viral takes the damage, flies to the horizon in the process. As Kamina survives, Thymilph battles Gurren Lagann but is defeated and killed by Giga Drill Break technique. Though, his attack on Kamina kills the hero right after Thymilph's own demise.
