[edit] Official names for "Grapal" and "Mugan" are "Gulaparl" and "Mugann".

The official website has updated with pages for post timeskip mechs. Their English names aren't on the buttons (yet), but the links give a good idea of what their official names are.

http://www.gurren-lagann.net/mecha/gulaparl.html http://www.gurren-lagann.net/mecha/mugann.html

I'll be editing the article to use these names and if the buttons are updated with names contradicting these links (which will still no doubtedly not be the names "Grapal" and "Mugan"), feel free to correct them to those names.

The name "Gulaparl" actually makes more sense than "Grapal", too. They are based off of Gurren-Lagann, made using data obtained from research into the Gurren-Lagann.

I'll also be reclassifying "Red Mugan" and "Green Mugan" as "Mugann (Standard)" and "Mugann (Carrier)", as those convey their point and are much better than simply referring to them by colour. It's a fact that the Japanese wikipedia article on TTGL already makes this same kind of distinction, though it doesn't give the 2 their own seperate entries.Robtf 03:34, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Gulaparl / Grapal

How can I spell it out for you guys?


http://www.gurren-lagann.net/mecha/gulaparl.html Check the URL.

Gulaparl is the most official name we have at this moment in time. Gulaparl makes a hell of a lot more sense than Grapal aswell (Gurren Lagann). I will change any and all references to "Grapal" to spell "Gulaparl" now. Any problems you have with this must can be brought up here on this talk page. Robtf 06:19, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

It´s probably more like Gurapal. - !Malomeat 16:05, 9 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Images

Well, it's coming, so instead of waiting for someone to come along and remove all the images, lets discuss the images on this page. Are there too many non-free images on this page? What images can this article have? Editors may want to review Wikipedia:Non-free content criteria and Wikipedia:Non-free content. I think either an image or two from the OP of the Gurren-dan mecha will have enough information and be minimal per criteria 3, but having a separate image for each mecha may be excessive. --Transfinite (Talk | Contribs) 02:46, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

If you find any good images and can upload them, or can specify their appearence by Episode and Time, that would be great. It is kinda hard to find an image that encompasses all mecha but is not obscurred by something. N-Denizen 21:17, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

put the pictures back, the article makes no sense at all without them. How are people who know NOTHING about the show supposed to know what they look like? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.182.109.83 (talk) 02:21, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann

Galaxy sized? Hardly. Several times the size of the earth, but never a size of an entire galaxy. Those galaxies they threw around probably weren't galaxies, either, or they'd've just passed through those. They're mostly gas, anyway.

Not that it matters, the entire series being a massive acid trip anyway. (comment break)

Judging by the way Chouginga Gurren-Lagann comes out of TTGL's waist-mouth, TTGL should be something like six or seven times the diameter of the Moon. Maybe even longer, if the Cathedral Terra is longer than the Moon's diameter. TTGL appearing as large as several galaxies, using them as stepping stones, literally knocking one over - that's just an illusionary environment created by the Anti-Spiral's Super Spiral Space. -- 12.18.170.2 10:53, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

The antispiral mecha actually is about to pick up the earth with its hands, there you can get a estimation from its size, and also comparing it to the antispiral planet on their mecha. so true not galaxy sized as it was a fake reality, but 10x (or more) the size of earth at least.71.115.221.2 05:55, 5 October 2007 (UTC)
Commenting on this, if you look at that scene again it also shows the Arc-Gurren Lagann popping out of CGL's mouth later appearing much larger than it normally would be in comparison to the CGL(roughly the size of an ant). It's not really an accurate representation of the mech's sizes. Also, when Earth appeared during the middle of the battle, space-time was distorting and all that. Earth's size could have been magnified if only for the purpose of having it be visible in the scene instead of being the size of an atom. - The Norse 03:21, 16 October 2007 (UTC)
I've edited the entry a bit; the Laganns that the rest of the Dai-Gurren Brigade were in are from the ones that were held by the Death Spiral Machine. Jtrainor 23:15, 1 October 2007 (UTC)
I'm changing the false Galaxy info. - !Malomeat 00:32, 16 October 2007 (UTC)


The offical word of Gainax is that it's size 'rivals that of a galaxy' on the offical art. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v82/Seifersythe/1195839832844.jpg This is also evident by the zooming out from CCGL at the begining of 27. It's canon. Inconsistencies are a stylistic choice, and can be chalked up to the reality warping nature of TTGL.
That and the fact that it's just cooler. And the fundamental TTGL law of physics is the Rule of Cool. --76.31.137.85 (talk) 08:03, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Name Changes

If we changed Gulaparl and Mugann based on this, why not change these? - !Malomeat 04:25, 28 October 2007 (UTC)

Chouginga and Choginga are just alternate romanizations, change that if you want. "Arch" Gurren Lagann could be a typo in the web address however since the ship is called "Arc" Gurren. - The Norse 15:35, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Cho-Ginga Gurren-Lagann

Shouldn't it be said, that in its initial appearance it is a direct visual reference to Diebuster from Top wo Nerae!2 ? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.51.49.218 (talk) 13:43, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

Which "initial appearance?" In the first scene it was introduced in a way that was a very clear tribute to Captain Harlock. Kageryushin (talk) 22:50, 14 February 2008 (UTC)
