==Simon==
* My drill is the drill that will pierce the heavens!
* You know, I was once belted like that too. Everybody makes mistakes, it's to be expected. When you do make a mistake though, you should be slugged by someone. Because I mean, there's no need for you to punish yourself.At the time, you might think it's a mistake that you can never undo. Even if it is, if we kick and scream and fight like Hell we can move forward a little. I was always taught that even if you don't believe in yourself, you need to believe in the fact that everyone else believes in you. That's how it should be. At least I think so.
* Just who the hell do you think I am?!
* Big Brother is dead. He's no longer here. However, on my back, and within my heart, he lives on in me! I will put a hole in heaven itself. Even if that hole becomes my grave, as long as I break through, that is my victory! Who do you think I am? I'm Simon. I'm not my brother, Kamina. I AM MYSELF! Simon The Digger!
* Finishing move! Giga Drill Break!!!
* My name is Simon. Leader of Team Dai-Gurren, Simon the Digger. If you decide that you're going to be a wall that's standing in my way, then I have something that will open a hole in you every time! And that something... is my drill!
* ''[proposing to Nia]'' From being a "Princess," and having the "Gurren Brigade." Just to see the same things, hear the same sounds, and smile the same way... Wouldn't it be good to live like that? My eyes being yours, your ears being mine. Wouldn't something like that be nice?
* Maybe, but it isn't zero. As far as I'm concerned, that makes it the same as a 100% chance.
* You know, I was once belted like that too. At the time, you might think it's a mistake you can never undo. Even if it is, if we kick and scream and fight like hell, we move forward a little bit. I was taught to believe in the me that believes in myself!
* Kittan, Leeron, Dayakka, Zorthy, Kidd, Iraak, Jorgun, Balinbow, Makken, Tetsukan, Artenborough, Gabal, Gimmy, Darry, Cybela, Leite, Yoko, Viral, Lordgenome, and Boota. As long as Team Dai-Gurren stands united, we have nothing to fear! Engines to full! Perceptual teleportation system activate! Let's go! This is it... our final battle!
* ''[As Raging Wave Arc Gurren Lagann combines with the Arc Gurren battleship-Gunmen]'' smashing through both karma and fate! Raging wave combining...Arc Gurren Lagann!! 
* ''[As Ultra-Spiral Space Superdreadnought Gunmen Super Galactic Gurren Lagann rises from a planet-sized ocean of spiral energy]'' "Our friends' hopes and dreams are etched into its body, transforming the infinite darkness into light! Unmatched in Heaven, and Earth; one machine, equal to the gods! Super Galaxy GURREN LAGANN! ... We're gonna show you the power... of the human race."
* Don't underestimate us! We don't care about time or space or multi-dimensional whatevers, we don't give a damn about that(them)! Force your way down a path you choose to take and do it all yourself! That's the way team Dai-Gurren rolls!
* Lordgenome, Let's do this together!
* We evolve beyond the person we were a minute before! Little by little we advance a bit further with each turn! That's how a drill works!!
* No that's your limitation! You sit here closed off, locking away other life forms like some kind of king! That's nobody's limitation but your own!
* Mark my words! This drill will open a hole in the universe! And that hole will be a path for those behind us! The dreams of those who've fallen! The hopes of those who'll follow! Those two sets of dreams weave together into a double helix! Drilling a path towards tomorrow! And that's Tengen Toppa! That's Gurren Lagann!! My drill is the drill...that creates the heavens!!!
* Nia, I will never forget you, til the end of the universe.
* Those who are dead, are dead. If we bring them back to life they'll just get in the way of the next generation, right? 
* I'm just Simon the Digger. There's someone better suited to go down the tunnels I dug.
* Of course it worked! Just who the hell do yo-...Heh, nah, I guess I'm no one.
* All the lights in the sky are stars....stars where our spiral cousins are waiting for us.
* Take this! Finishing Move! ''[Super Tengen Toppa Gurren-Lagann takes off its cape]'' Super Tengen Toppa, Giga... Drill... Breaker!
* Even so I will... I will believe! I will believe in the me, that believes in us, humans and the future! The drill is my soul!
*The tomorrow we're trying to grab for ourselves is not the tomorrow you set up for us; its the tomorrow that we chose for ourselves, a tomorrow that we chose out of all the infinite universes. We'll fight our way through and protect the universe--we'll stop the Spiral Nemesis too!
*My drill is the heart of my soul.
*Let's go, everyone!
*Let's go, buddy!
*LAGANN..IMPACT!
*Of course! Who do you think-- No, I guess I'm nobody.

== Kamina ==
* Your drill is the drill that will pierce the heavens!
* I'm going to tell you something important now, so you better dig the wax out of those huge ears of yours, and listen! The reputation of Team Gurren echoes far and wide... When they talk about its bad ass leader, the man of indomitable spirit and masculinity, they're talking about me! The Mighty Kamina !
* The reputation of Team Gurren echoes far and wide. Its badass leader a man of spirit, a paragon of total masculinity... as if there could be more than one of the Mighty Kamina!?
* Just who the hell do you think I am?!
* Who The Hell Do You Think I Am - Kick!!!
* How Dare You Touch My Beloved Little Brother - Punch!!!
* Having left his home land, he never yields, never retreats, and never regrets. He faces forward and never looks back! He's manly! He's tenacious! Kamina of Team Gurren is here to take you on. Lets go!
* Remember this, you fuzzball! Combining is all about one fighting spirit slamming into another! A combining of courage... that sets a man's soul on fire! Just who the hell do you think I am, fuzzball!? From now on, the name of this mecha is Gurren Lagann!
* Manly combining is a beautiful thing!  The act of two souls coming together, to form a raging inferno!
* Far beyond the farthest horizon, I crawled out of the village of Jiha! I have defeated a Gunman for every star in the sky! When they tell stories of Team Gurren's badass leader, it is I, Kamina, of whom they speak!
* Let's see you grit those teeth!... Have you snapped out of it yet? I give you my word that if you ever start to doubt yourself I'll come and belt you one.
* Listen Simon, Don't believe in yourself. Believe in the Kamina who believes in you!
* Kick logic out and do the impossible! That's how team Gurren rolls!
* Just who the hell do you think you are, Simon? Your drill is the drill that's gonna bust straight through heaven and earth and even tomorrow! What are you sitting around here dawdling for? We've won, kid! That behemoth belongs to you now!
* A true man never dies, even when he's killed.
* Simon! Don't believe in yourself - believe in me! Believe in the Kamina who believes in you!
* When are you gonna stop running, Simon? Now's the time to cast off the boy you USED to be. It's now or never!!
* Finishing move! Giga Drill Breaker!!!
* Get going Simon. Just don't be distracted by the what-ifs, should-haves, and if-onlys. The one thing you choose for yourself, that is the truth of your universe.
* Listen, Simon, never forget. Just 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!
* Later... Buddy...
* A tasty morsel hiding in more tasty morsels
* He takes the blazing sun in his bare hands and endures the searing heat; a man's man sustained by strength of will.
*You know why people have eyes in the front? Because they have to move forward to see the landscape in the distance. If you had eyes in back all you could see is your home town getting farther 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.
*...You think I'm gonna run? Don't Insult me! Who the hell do you think I am?! I'm Kamina of team Gurren, Baby! ...And I NEVER run from my enemies!
*Hello Sunshine.

== Yoko ==
*Even if Heaven itself tolerates your brutality, I promise you, I never will! [Both she and Kamina say this, though for two completely different reasons]
* Simon, did you know, that I kinda had a thing for Kamina?
* He's right! We humans used to have someone much greater than us! For his sake alone, we'll continue moving forward!
* So, I leave for a while, and you have to go and become a real boring bitch. Nia.
* I am a teacher. Pay close attention - this will be on the test. You don't wreck buildings. You don't take children hostage. And you don't threaten people with violence. Okay class dismissed. Looks like you fail!
* What's this furry thing hiding out in my cleavage?
* Boy Boota, you're as small as ever.

== Kittan ==
*''[To Gimmy, while in the galactic sea]''
What are you, some kind of moron or something?! C'mon! Show me a guy who ain't afraid of dyin'! "Go out in a blaze of glory"?! I got no choice. This is all I'm good at. We do this because we want to! You gotta move forward no matter what, especially when you're scared! Urrgh!! You know?! Gah! Man, I can't explain it right! Look, I'll just say this much: the reason Jorgen and Balinbow gave their lives to save you is 'cause they wanted to. So there's no reason for you to feel like you owe 'em. Got it?!

*Sorry. Just thinking of myself, like always.

*''[Just before embarking on a suicide mission to destroy the Death Spiral Machine]''
I ain't saying no showy crap like 'later buddy' or something lame like that. I'll be back soon, you bozos!

*''[On his suicide mission; Kittan's Space Gunman is destroyed, the Gunman that he was piloting which was piloting the Space Gunman  flies out of the resulting explosion]''
King Kittan is fine and ready to go! I borrowed one of Gurren Lagann's drills as a good luck charm... and believe me, I'm gonna put it to good use!!

''[Raises drill above head]''

This is Simon's soul... Team Dai-Gurren's soul... Humanity's soul.. and actually, it's my soul!!

''[Kittan's eyes begin to glow with Spiral Power]''

Do you seriously think it's gonna be wiped out by the likes of you?!

''[King Kittan's drill repairs itself and grows to at least a hundred times the usual size]''

''[Before the impact of his Giga Drill]''

King Kittan Giga Drill Breaker!!!

''[After impact with the Death Spiral Machine]''

So this is the power of the Spiral. Not bad, not bad at all...

''[The Death Spiral Machine explodes, destroying the King Kittan as Kittan chuckles]''

== Nia ==
* What exactly is a human?
* Could you not be aware of who I am?
* "Beat the crap out of." What does this mean?
* Tell me, what does it mean to be "pissed off"?
* What does "fist" mean?
*I see; so you're a "pissing off" person? 
*Well met!
* That is what happens when someone dies, people suffer. And yet here you are saying that two grieving parties should hurt each other! Don't you think there might be something wrong with that?
* ''[attempting to describe Kittan]'' You are...let's see...you are a not-pissing-off person, and you're sweet!
* ''[misunderstanding Simon's marriage proposal]'' I thought to myself, two people can't just become one, can they?
* Well... I think... You and I are different people. We'll always be different. But, because we're different people. I think we could have a life together. Thank you.. For this ring. I'm very happy.
* This spirit is infinite! I've also bet on that greatness!
* That's Right! No matter how hard it is, Simon will never hesitate again! The Simon I believe in will never have his Dai Gurren-Dan spirit broken!
* Simon if our faith in you is what gives you your strength, then I'll believe in you with every cell in my body! So  Please! Fight and Win!

== Rossiu ==
* God will test us till the very end.
[''with Kinon in his lap, after Simon foils his suicide attempt'']
* I... want to feel the weight of... just one human life

== Viral ==
* You're stupid through and through, aren't you?
* What did I tell you about sneak attacks? They only work once!
* Would you die if I wished hard enough?
* You spout a bunch of crap... but this is crap that I can really get behind! Leave the fine tuning to me!
* This little pig-mole is a bundle of Spiral Power! Gurren and Lagann can now operate in tandem!
* Spin up the Super Spiral Engines! As soon as they're all aboard, Super Teleport into deep space! We're representing Earth out there... Put some spirit into it!
* Stupid humans!
* Damn you, Gurren Lagann! damn you! Damn! Damn! Damn!
* This is how I roll!
* Glad you decided not to run, you naked ape.

== Lordgenome / Lordgenome Head ==
*[Before he falls to his death, to Simon] When the land overflows with one million apes, the moon will become Hell's messenger and destroy the world of the Spiral.
* This mission had a zero percent chance of succeeding, but it seems theoretical calculations are pointless with you.
* I am no king. Just a simple warrior, same as you are, Viral.
* Do not grieve for me, daughter. My soul once drowned in a sea of despair and weariness, but has reawakened! If this body can create a tomorrow for all spiral life, I will gladly give it.
*[''While tanking the Big Bang''] Just what I was waiting for!!! [converts all the energy into a giant drill with his head at the tip] Simon....TAKE IT!

== Anti-Spiral ==
* You have shown me a most interesting phenomenon.
* We Anti-Spirals were once a Spiral race like yourselves. But when we learned that the evolution of Spiral Power would lead to the destruction of the universe, we annihilated all those who possessed the power of the Spiral, and drove the few surviving life forms to the far corners of the universe. We halted our own evolution and locked ourselves away into this pocket universe! On our homeworld we sealed away our bodies and any hope of evolution! ''[Anti-Spiral shows Team Dai-Gurren a dark planet that resembles Earth, with lifeless bodies similar to Anti-Spiral's lining the entire landmass]''  This form is the symbol of our determination! 
* Foolish creatures, drunk on your Spiral Power! Do you posses the resolve to do that!? We defended the universe by killing our fellow spirals and halting our own evolution. Do you possess the sheer fortitude that is on par with that?! Do you?! We say, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, not! at! all!!!
* You possess neither will! Nor resolve! Nor reason!!
* Burn in the everlasting hellfire of creation! Be utterly annihilated down to the very last scrap of D-N-A!
* If this is how it must be... protect the universe... at all cost...

== Group ==
* Kamina: We brawlers are sustained by willpower! Even when mocked as reckless and crazy!
* Simon: If there's a wall in our way then we smash it down! If there isn't a path, then we carve one ourselves! 
* Both: The magma of our soul burns with a mighty flame! Super Ultra Combining - Gurren Lagann!! 
* Simon: Just who...! 
* Kamina: In the hell...! 
* Both: Do you think we are!!?<br>


* Simon: We embark on the winding spiral path! The paths of man and beast intersect!
* Viral: Join with yesterday's foe to smash fate, and take tomorrow's path in your own hands!
* Both: Destiny Combining - Gurren Lagann!! Just who the hell do you think I am?!
* ''[All Anti-Spiral mechs save the mothership explode spontaneously]''<br>


[''forming Arc Gurren Lagann for the first time from Arc-Gurren and Gurren Lagann'']
* Simon: Smashing through both karma and fate!
* Viral: The screams of life echo across the galaxy!
* Both: Raging wave combining! Arc Gurren Lagann!!


* ''[As Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann enters Anti-Spiral space, standing on top of a Galaxy]''
*Nia: Even when trapped by karma's cycle,
*Yoko: The dreams we left behind will open the door!
*Leeron: Even if the Universe stands in our way,
*Viral: Our seething blood will determine what will be!
*Simon: We will break through Time and Space!
*All but Simon: And defy all who would stop us to grab hold of our path!
*Simon: Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann!
*All: Just who the hell do you think we are!!?


*Simon: Did you see that, Anti-Spiral? This is our, the Super Galaxy Dai-Gurren Dan's, determination! I'll say it as many times as I need to!
*All: Just who the hell do you think we are!!?
* ''[A super galactic volcano erupts and explodes spontaneously as a flag of the Super Galaxy Dai-Gurren Dan appears.]''
