Where Nia takes center stage. Simon's pushed, once more into the background and returns to the hangar and Lagann to be an emo whore bitch. When the Dai-Gurren is attacked, Simon believes himself useless and simply. Sits there. Meanwhile, the attacker--another of the four generals, Adiane, causes Nia to reveal that she's a princess. The princess of the Helix King, who just so happens to be the big bad of the show, and the commander of the beastmen. Oh. Shit.
But that gets them out of one battle. Lagann ends up in a trash heap, the Dan sends Simon to question Nia, there are moments where Simon recollects his love of Kamina and what happened in a cave in*, stuff happens, next morning comes, Adiane attacks again saying that the king wants nothing to do with Nia, and that he threw her away. This gets Simon really angry. He rushes to save her, but the rest of the Dan gets their first, since Lagann is broken.
He returns to being emo. Despite this, Nia comes to his room for dinner to thank him and to say that she knows that Simon was the first one to come running for her. This just drives the stake of depression into Simon's heart.
Later, once more, the Dai-Gurren-dan is attacked by a third general: Guame. Guame however, manages to take the Dan in a trick and imprison all of them underground. He keeps Nia on the surface and says that he'll spare her if she trains women to become wives of the king.
Meanwhile, the Dan is in a large pit, trying to dig their way out at all costs. Hands, feet, teeth, whatever they can use is useless! Simon, however, sits at a small part of the wall, and using his core drill, despite handcuffs and injuries, begins to patiently dig at the soil, little by little creating a hole. The Dan stops, watching him, amazed. Yoko recalls a story Kamina told her of Simon's bravery and unfailing loyalty in a cave-in**. Simon, as he digs through the dirt, thinks of Nia and Kamina. He remembers Kamina's last speech to him. "Believe in you who believes in yourself!" He remembers Nia's constant faith in him. And suddenly, he pieces it all together. And he finally, finally, regains his will to live.
Lagann is summoned by that will.
Meanwhile again, Nia refuses Guame's offer, saying stubbornly that Simon will come to save her. Guame, pissed as shit by her disrespect of him, orders Simon to be the first of the Dai-Gurren-dan killed. BUT THEN SIMON BURSTS THROUGH THE FUCKING FLOOR AND IS ALL /RESCUES NIA. The two fly incredibly high into the air, but plummet back into a massive battle projected to all of the underground villages with access to the surface.
