Kamina’s quotes;

And also some lines from other characters after his passing.

Listen close Simon. Never forget. Believe in yourself. Not in the Simon that I believe in. Not in the Kamina that you believe in. Have faith in the Simon that believes in you.

That was the last thing which we got to hear from Kamina. Till the very end, he upheld his desire to cherish everything between him and Simon. Even though he was aware of the threads and that it would cause him to expose to endangered situations, Kamina never walked away and continued to struggle for a better future.

Walk with your head up, Simon.

It was in the first episode of the Gurren Lagann anime that we were introduced to a guy who would do anything but give up.

Despite Simon being a good Driller, people in their little village hated him, which caused Simon to lose self-confidence and self-esteem. However, thanks to Kamina, Simon always looked forward regardless of the environment.

All right, I’ll tell you, so open up those big ears and listen well! Leader of the Giha village’s infamous Gurren Brigade. With a man’s soul and a strong back, a tenacious demon. The great Kamina is ME!

I know it wasn’t just me who assumed Kamina to be the main protagonist. Such indomitable will and an unbreakable resolve he possessed. Kamina was aware that the surface existed, but never got the chance to leave his village.

However, he kept enduring the hardships in the hope of finally making it to the surface one day.

Real men fight face-to-face! Listen, Simon. Don’t believe in yourself! I believe in you! Believe that I believe!

Simon has always been bad at making decisions and couldn’t have made it that far if it wasn’t for his brother. Kamina always came up with something to motivate and uplift Simon’s spirit.

He was well aware that Simon was capable of much more, but due to certain awful encounters with fate in the past, he lacked the courage to advance further in any matters where dangers dwelled.

Undefeatable, untouchable, with no regrets! Never looking back, never wavering! You can’t win against this man’s will! Gurren Brigade’s great Kamina will be your opponent!

As soon as Kamina and Simon made it to the surface, they were exposed to an irresistible organization of foes which operated for the ultimate extermination of Humanity.

However, Kamina made sure to never give up and continued advancing regardless of various encounters with several mighty foes in the form of Powerful mecha known as ‘Gunmen’ in the Gurren Lagann anime.

It doesn’t matter where we end up and how hard it gets from now on, with my Gurren and your Lagann.. With our mechas, we’ll fight to the end!

This is when the two brothers finally had a clear resolve to embrace together everything that the future throws at them. At this moment, it felt like both Kamina and Simon had found their ideal weapons, which would carry their desire to fight and defeat foes to a greater length.

Pops, I’m sorry but I’m going to surpass you. I’m going in your place to see what’s beyond this land.

When Kamina was still a child, his father took him up to the surface and let him experience the glittering night sky. However, it would have been way too inconvenient for his father to take Kamina along, as the world on the Surface was harsh and filled with countless dangers.

Kamina was under the impression that his dear father was still somewhere out there exploring and uncovering various secrets of this world. Unfortunately, Kamina recognized his father’s bracelet on a skeleton’s hands and mourned his failure in silence.

The combination of men ain’t nothing you can break off so easily! Who cares about the numbers in your combination!

It was when Gurren and Lagann combined against a large number of foes, but even though it was a one-sided battle, Kamina being Kamina, he didn’t let his spirit down, and just as always, he helped Simon fight his anxiety and other internal conflicts.

If you don’t want to do it, all you gotta do is stop doing it!

Most of us misunderstood Kamina to be the main protagonist. However, it was later revealed that everything he did was intended to make Simon into a self-confident man who could make decisions on his own and figure out the possibility to win even during the most dire situations.

I’d rather die than do something I didn’t want to do!

Judging by the way things worked on the surface, Kamina appeared to be the only hope for a suitable environment for the human race up on the surface. Even though several minor factions were fighting against the Gunmen, they never dreamt of achieving heights as high as eliminating the entire organization of their foes.

Tell me, Simon. Do you know why people have eyes in front? It’s ’cause you have to move forward to see the landscape in the distance. – Kamina

If you have eyes in the back, all you can see is your hometown getting further away. You can’t move forward like that. If your eyes are in front, what you see in the distance keeps getting closer. That’s what lets people move forward. My dear departed dad used to say that all the time. – Kamina

Watching some content not only provides us with a unique set of entertainment but also exposes the viewers to the opinions and views of several personalities.

Simon always seemed to have a feeling that one day, everything might fall, and their struggle for freedom would rot away without any impact on the land.

One of the main reasons Kamina appeared lively all the time was to cheer up Simon. He dedicated this quote to make Simon realize that they are meant to move forward and that’s what nature demands from them.

Reject common sense to make the impossible possible!

People already had different opinions regarding survival on the surface. They all had certain goals, which were supposed to provide a better living for themselves and their family. However, none of those people dreamt of defeating their ultimate foes, aside from Kamina.

Never retreat, never surrender, never look back! That’s how me and Simon see the world.

It was all Kamina’s doing. He was a person of high spirit who always dug the way ahead instead of waiting for faith to drop some miraculous opportunity beside them.

We have to win. We cannot afford to be slowed down, not now. We’ll keep stealing and stealing and stealing their weapons. We have to keep winning until they give up on the idea of attacking us.

One of their primary goals was to overthrow their opponents and completely seize control over their Big Mecha known as ‘Dai Gunzan.’ Kamina’s first Gunmen was also a stolen piece. Since they lacked the technology and knowledge to create their Gunmen, it was their viable opinion to steal from their opponents.

I wanna give Simon and Forehead Boy and Gimmy and Darry A world where kids can look up at the sun without a care in the world.

The biggest motivation for Kamina to keep going was the future of those who were still young and harbored great potential of growing up in a world that welcomed their existence. He was like a parent to Simon until he came across others who required similar treatment.

If you ever start to doubt yourself, I’ll always come to belt you one. So don’t worry, I’m here at your side. Believe in yourself. Believe in the Simon that I have faith in.

It was a disappointment for every one of us to see Simon dwelling on the thought that Yoko was about to belong to his brother and not him. It was not just cringe but unsatisfactory as well. It somehow represented how little Simon was concerned about Kamina after all he had done for Simon.

Simon, who the hell do you think you are? Your drill is the drill that’s gonna bore through heaven and Earth, and even tomorrow.

It’s just like most people not being aware of their inner talent for some particular activities. And the same was true in the case of Simon, who doubted his abilities and never considered drilling as a special gift bestowed upon him by the gods.

We brawlers are sustained by willpower even when mocked as crazy and reckless. If there’s a wall in the way, we smash it down. If there isn’t a path, we curve one out ourselves. The magma of our souls burns with a mighty flame.

The only flame which burnt every obstacle up to episode 8 was Kamina. Everything that he claims in this quote mostly speaks about his accomplishments. Aside from his, there weren’t any others who had made any greater contribution towards their goal.

Below are some quotes from other about Kamina:

Sacrifices are necessary for survival. And we survivors work even harder to make sure they weren’t in vain. – Yoko Littner

You said you’d repay that kiss ten times over. What’s the big idea, leaving a hole in my heart that’s ten times bigger. Kamina you jerk. – Yoko Littner ( episode 9 @10:02)

It was my bro who gave me the strength to fight. Because he was there to believe in me. – Simon

I don’t think that Kamina fought out of hatred. It’s hard to explain, but no matter how bad the situation, he was always laughing. – Simon

But if we’d have given up that day, we all would have died. The reason we didn’t was because of my bro. Because he didn’t give up. That’s how he always was. Without him, I can’t do anything. That’s why I have to become like him, so that I can do his share for him. – Simon

What you said is right. No amount of crying or grieving will bring Kamina back. We are well aware of that, may be it would be easier if we could forget about him. But we can’t just… We can’t forget him like he was nothing! – Yoko

Bro would always hang out with me. He was the only one who didn’t make fun of me, or make me feel bad. He was tough, and kind, and he was big. I wanted to be a man just like bro. I really tried to be. – Simon
