  1. With the fakeKamina, I never thought it was that the spirals were unable to replicate him, I always thought it was more that they wanted to use his image to beat Simon down. Like if his big bro is a sniveling coward then maybe he’ll give up on beating the anti-spirals and live out his days in unreality.

    1. I’ve never seen the multidimensional scenarios as specifically “designed” by the anti-spirals… The labyrinth itself is a conduit constructed by the anti-spiral, but I see the dreamscapes as wholly invented by whomever is experiencing them, either individuals or, in a number of cases, shared consciousnesses. So the “fake Kamina” is a construct of Simon’s insecurities and regrets—a “what if” outcome had he and Bro maybe aimed a bit lower. Same with Viral’s dream of married bliss and genetic legacy—the idea itself is born of Viral’s own desires, which I think weighs heavier than if the anti-spiral were just engineering each scenario. The dreams subsist on “longing.”

      Likewise, the way I interpret everybody’s escape from the labyrinth isn’t due to some newly manifested Kamina interloping and walking in on everybody’s delusions—it’s that Kamina never /stopped/ existing in the first place, living on as a piece of everyone’s (at least specifically Simon and Yoko’s) souls. So in an abstract way, it definitely IS Kamina busting them out of dream prison, but it’s also /because/ they each found it (read: Kamina’s spark) within themselves to understand their newfound complacency was all phony confinement, thus allowing them to break themselves free.

      To me that’s a stronger chord than simply “all the dead guys just sought out the team’s collective subconscious in an effort to snap them out of it.”

  2. Commenting just to join the others wanting you guys to watch the movies. Especially the second one! It’s a must watch if youre a gurren lagann fan 😀
