>>10372017>The Anti-Spiral was always about focusing on establishing as much demoralization onto the enemies as possible. This wasn't because he was bored or anything. This was because morale was what spiral power, the very thing they were trying to oppress, thrived on. Giving the freedom fighters the possibility to die in a blaze of glory has the possibility to ignite passion elsewhere on Earth. However, turning Earth's fighting force into depressing bumbling babies has a higher chance of demoralizing the spectators too.And more to the point, Simon and gang wasn't the Anti-Spiral's primary concern so much that it was the spiral power that they were producing that they didn't like.
>>10372086>It implied that the Anti-Spiral was toughshit, yes. And the Anti-Spiral was more than happy to go all out when he felt it was needed. In the show, he fell back on the Infinity Big Bang Storm and was only beaten because Lord Genome absorbed that power and used it to power-up TTGL. That was his implied top power - not to mention the probability manipulation that he used during the fight as well. In the movie, after Simon completely surpassed what the Anti-Spiral believed anything was capable of, the Anti-Spiral went Super Grand Zamboa, which was highly implied to be the Anti-Spiral's limits. In both cases, he was furious and baffled by Team Dai-Gurren's spontaneous power boosts, the very things that saved them.>The other issue with the "Anti-Spiral just gave up" theory is that the Anti-Spiral was constantly insulting and undermining the protagonists ideals throughout the entire fight.The only scene in which he did relent was his death scene. In which the Anti-Spiral tells Simon that, if he is going to die, then it is up to Simon to protect the universe.
The Anti-Spiral was trying to protect the universe until the very end and only relented because he realized that he wouldn't be there to protect the universe anymore.
Why do very few people get the point like this good gentleman?
