Track 6:
Kittan: (Kamina...it's too bad that I have to settle things with you like this, but I would sell my soul to the devil for my cute little sisters. No choice...I have no choice!)
Kamina: What's wrong, Kittan? You get scared? Or is that forkball you're so proud of slipping up?
Kittan: Shut up!
Kamina: Let's take it easy, Kittan.
Kittan: What...?
Kamina: You throw it at me with all your might, and I'll swing my bat with all my might! What happens next is all up to the gods of baseball!
Kittan: Kamina...
Kamina: If you want to play a straight game, I'll take you on anytime! That's what it means to be fated rivals!
Kittan: Fated...rivals...? Dammit...when it comes to you...
Yoko: Look, Kittan's in his pitching form but won't move.
Nia: He's just glaring fixedly at Kamina-san.
Dayakka: Hurry up and throw it, or I'll call a balk!
Rossiu: (Did he lose his nerve after getting this far?) Throw it, Kittan! WIth all your might! You shouldn't have any other choice!
Kittan: DAMMIIIIT!
Leeron: My, what a wild pitch.
Yoko: It's going toward Simon in the next batter's circle!
Simon: Waaaaah!
Dayakka: BALL!
Nia: Thank goodness! Simon caught it!
Kamina: You okay, Simon?
Simon: I'm fine, I'm fine. I'm always catching your balls, after all. But Aniki, this ball is covered in blood. And look!
Kamina: What? This is...Kittan...that bastard...
Leeron: Chairwoman, look. Kittan's nail is broken.
Nia: You're right...
Rossiu: (So he's trying to make it look like the ball slipped because of the blood? Good idea. This way he won't be accused of doing it on purpose. Very good. The next one will finish him. Shatter Kamina's head with your murderous ball!)
Kamina: Kittan! I understand your fighting spirit! Now, come!
Kittan: You're fine with it?
Kamina: Didn't I tell you? You're my rival!
Kittan: That's exactly what I wanted to hear. With those words, now I can give it my all!
Kamina: Bring it! I'll take it straight on!
Kittan: Got it! Here I go...!
Kamina: I've got this one!
Yoko: Kamina!
Leeron: The ball hit him directly on the head!
Simon: Aniki! It's no use, he's unconscious!
Nia: Call an ambulance, hurry!
Simon: No, there's no time for an ambulance. Daya-sensei! Take him to the hospital in your car!
Dayakka: Mine?
Yoko: I'll go too!
Simon: No. Yoko-san, you stay here.
Yoko: Why are you giving me orders?
Simon: I'll explain later! Now, sensei, hurry!
Dayakka: G-got it. Hey, someone lend me a hand!
Yoko: Kittan...you hit Kamina on purpose, didn't you?
Kittan: Yoko...
Yoko: I'll never forgive you!
Kittan: Say whatever you want.
Rossiu: Everyone of Dai-Gurren Academy, I don't know how I could apologize for the injury that Kittan-kun has inflicted. Of course, I have no intention of apologizing in the first place! Men!
Attenborough: M-machine guns!
Rossiu: I suggest you all behave. I don't like spilling needless blood.
Nia: What are high school baseball players doing with machine guns? Baseball players...machine guns...hmm...I don't understand this pun.
Simon: Chairwoman, it isn't a pun. This is a trap!
Nia: Ehh?!
Leeron: I see now. So you're one of Teppelin's minions too?
Rossiu: You're rather late to realize. I suppose even someone like you who was known for being brilliant would get rusty after working for that lady with her head in the clouds.
Leeron: Well, if it means I'd have to work with someone who has 'newcomer' written all over his large forehead...excuse me, large face, I think it was good that I left so quickly.
Rossiu: Not forehead...Dekoi. I am Rossiu Dekoi, the Teppelin Foundation's Japan Subjugation Project Team Leader. Now, Miss Nia. Give me Dai-Gurren's activation key.
Nia: Forehead...Dekoi...is that a--!
Rossiu: It is NOT a pun. I'll tell you now, but I despise anything with humor. I never once intended on making a pun. Now if you don't hurry, your dear students will be filled with holes. Kidd!
Kidd: Yeah!
Rossiu: Ailac!
Ailac: Okay!
Rossiu: Among my subordinates, these two are especially short-tempered. If you don't hurry, this will happen... Do it.
Attenborough: *scream*
Yoko: Atten!
Nia: You're horrible!
Ailac: Uh...no, that was a warning shot.
Kidd: Didn't you see us shoot at the sky?
Attenborough: Nyo?
Leeron: You weren't shot, you scatterbrain.
Rossiu: But next time you will be. Now, what will you do, Miss Nia?
Boota: *sounding angry*
Nia: Boota, you must put up with it. I understand. Here is the activation key.
Rossiu: You are quite sensible. While you're at it, take me to the bridge. Leeron, you too. You will teach me how to control Dai-Gurren. Kidd, Ailac, take the rest of them captive. Lock them up somewhere inside Dai-Gurren.
Kittan: Wait! I'll go too.
Rossiu: Oh, Kittan-kun. You're still here?
Kittan: I'm the one who betrayed them. So let me join you. I'd know what these guys are thinking better than you. Let me watch over them too.
Rossiu: I understand. However, don't forget that we have your cute little sisters.
Kittan: I know.
Rossiu: Now, come!
Nia: *shriek*
Leeron: Now, no need to be rough.
Simon: Chairwoman!
Nia: Don't worry. I'm sure everything will turn out fine!
Rossiu: It certainly won't.
Nia: This is Dai-Gurren's bridge.
Rossiu: So this is the stronghold of those fighting against the Teppelin Foundation. But starting today, it will be the base of our Japan Subjugation operations. Now my blunder of losing Dai-Gunkai will be wiped clean.
Leeron: My, what surprisingly petty profit-and-loss-arithmetic.
Rossiu: I merely have a firm sense of economy. All right, let's begin. Academy-shaped Dai-Gurren! Activate!
Track 7
Kittan: This tremor! Dai-Gurren's been activated?
Simon: I'll have to repair the school building again.
Kidd: Hey hey, you're not in the position to be saying something so easygoing. Right, Ailac?
Ailac: Yeah. Kidd's trigger there is lighter than a feather. He could pull it with the slightest movement.
Yoko: Kittan...you're the worst!
Kittan: You're right. It's natural for you to feel that way.
Ailac: Who's that?!
Kittan: Calm down, it's my cell phone. Yes? This is Kittan.
Kiyoh: Hello? Brother? We escaped safely!
Kittan: You guys are all safe?
Kinon: This is Kinon.
Kiyal: Kiyal's here too!
Simon: Kittan!
Kittan: Yeah, it worked great, Simon!
Kidd: Hey, Kittan! What are you talking about?
Kittan: Heh. THIS!
Kidd: This is all...I get to do...? *faint*
Ailac: Kittan! You bastard...
Yoko: I won't let you!
Ailac: Wonderful...roundhouse kick...lady...
Yoko: I'm not captain of Dai-Gurren Academy's karate club for nothing. So, what's going on, Simon?
Simon: Look outside the window, Yoko-san!
Kamina: Hey hey hey, looks like you're all doing as you please thinking I'm not around! But my Gurren won't allow any more of your lawlessness!
Rossiu: Gurren? Impossible!
Yoko: Kamina! You're okay?!
Simon: He was just pretending to be unconscious earlier.
Yoko: Why?
Simon: When I caught Kittan's blood-stained ball...
Simon: But Aniki, this ball is covered in blood. And look, there are words written in it!
Kamina: What? "My little sisters have been captured by the Ginbu-kai. Sneak out of here by pretending you're unconscious and save them." This is...
Simon: So that's why he was aiming at you on purpose. But at the last minute, he's leaving everything to you.
Kamina: Kittan...that impudent bastard...
Kamina: Kittan! I understand your fighting spirit! Now, come!
Simon: Kittan held back his strength throwing the ball, and Aniki intentionally got hit by it, then pretended to be unconscious.
Kittan: That's Kamina for ya! He was able to save my sisters from the Ginbu-kai perfectly!
Yoko: But to think that you could write so much on a ball...
Kittan: My special talent is being able to write the entire Heart Sutra on a grain of rice!
Yoko: What are you so proud of?
Kittan: Sorry. I promise I'll pay you back for this. In fact, I'll pay you back right now, by taking back this ship!
Yoko: Got it. I'll help too.
Kamina: Simon! I've brought your Lagann too! Take it!
Smon: Lagann's pierced into Dai-Gurren's deck! We'll go stop Dai-Gurren with Gurren-Lagann! Meanwhile, go save the Chairwoman!
Kittan: Leave it to me, I'll show that forehead guy a thing or two!
Simon: Let's go, Aniki! Combine!
Kamina: Yeah! I was waiting for this, Simon!
Kamina: No matter how steep the path of man, a man's soul remains pure!
Simon: There's no trap that can't be broken! It's shattered by our charging drill!
Kamina: A ball engraved with a friend's feelings! To accept it is the path of man!
Kamina+Simon: Pitching with all our heart, soul, and strength! Shut out combining! Gurren-Lagann! Who the hell do you think we are?!
Nia: Kamina-kun! Thank goodness he's okay!
Rossiu: Hmph. Even if they have Gurren-Lagann, now that Dai-Gurren is in my hands, there's nothing they can do. What perfect timing. Let's test the power of Dai-Gurren's main armaments. Leeron, fire the main armaments!
Leeron: Oh, is that okay?
Rossiu: Don't think of doing anything fishy. Besides you and Nia, the only people here are my subordinates. A gun is constantly being aimed at you.
Leeron: Then here I go. Firing main armaments.
Rossiu: What's with this shaking?!
Leeron: That's what happens when you fire the main armaments without strengthening Dai-Gurren's footing first.
Kittan: You're the ones with loose footing!
*guys being beaten up*
Rossiu: Kittan...you bastard...
Leeron: My, looks like your cute subordinates have all been defeated.
Yoko: We took our chance while the ship was shaking. Now you're the only one left, Rossiu.
Rossiu: Hmph. Do you think you've won with just that? Can't you see the muzzle of my gun pressed against Nia's temple?
Nia: That...feels a little cold.
Rossiu: You may have come charging in spiritedly, but the situation hasn't changed at all.
Nia: Is that really so?
Rossiu: Eh?
Nia: Go, Boota!
Rossiu: You little pigmole! Stop! Stop biting! Stop scratching!
Nia: Now! NIA SPIRALLING SHOE!
Rossiu: Uwaaagh!
Yoko: Following up with a YOKO HOT IRON CRUSHER!
Rossiu: Ow!
Nia: Yoko-san! Let's finish him off!
Yoko: You can count on me!
Nia+Yoko: NIA-YOKO DOUBLE KIIIIIIIIIICK!
Rossiu: Dowaaaaaah!
Kittan: You two are strong! And not just Yoko, but Nia-san too!
Leeron: That's just part of a lady's education.
Nia: Boota, good job!
Boota: Buhhyo!
Nia: See, didn't everything turn out fine, Rossiu-san?
Rossiu: Dammit...now that it's come to this, I'll have to escape! COME, VIRAL SASSOON! *whistle*
Track 8
Viral: I'm not your dog!!!
Rossiu: We'll meet again, ladies and gentlemen of Dai-Gurren Academy!
Kittan: Shit! He's jumped onto Enkidu!
Viral: After talking big like that, in the end you're just relying on me!
Rossiu: Shut up.
Kamina: Enkidu again? This guy just doesn't give up.
Viral: This time it's a little different. Take this, ENKI LUGGER!
Kamina: Sunglasses Cutter No-Point-In-Talking Slice!
Simon: We did it! We cut off Enkidu's arm, Enki Lugger and all!
Viral: Good job, Kamina. But did you think Viral-sama would challenge you to a fight in a normal Enkidu?!
Simon: The arm...went back to normal?
Kamina: It repaired itself!
Viral: Hahahahahahahahaha! How do you like that? This Enkidu has an Automatic Repair System installed! Thus named Enki-Do-It-Yourself! Your attacks won't work anymore! Hahahahaaahahahahahaha.
Rossiu: Indeed, it is a marvelous device. But isn't that built entirely on the expectation that you'll be beaten by their attacks?
Viral: To lose is to win, that's how I see it! You just keep your mouth shut, freeloader! Now come, Kamina!
Kamina: What a bother! Let's just finish this quickly! Simon! We'll settle this in one shot!
Simon: Yeah! Let's end it with this!
Kamina+Simon: GIGA...DRILL...BREEEAAAAKKKKK!
Kamina: Wh...what?!
Simon: The Giga Drill Break isn't working!
Viral: Hahahahahahahahaha! How do you like that? If we rotate at the same speed that your drill is rotating, then it's just as if we're being pricked by the tip of a needle! It won't work! The Giga Drill Break is now BROKEN!
Kamina: Nice one, Viral. But...don't you get dizzy?!
Viral: Eh?
Rossiu: Viral...somehow, I'm...feeling terribly unwell...
Viral: Uwah, idiot! Don't vomit in the cockpit, STOOOP!
Kamina: Now, Simon! Enkidu's rotation slowed down!
Simon: Power at full throttle! Increasing rotation!
Kamina: Okay, let's go!
Kamina+Simon: Max Rotation...GIGA...DRILL...BREEEAAAAKKKKK!
Viral: Dammit, not again! I'll remember this, Gurren-Lagann!
Rossiu: Besides that, stop the spinning!
Simon: We did it, Aniki!
Kamina: Yeah! Gurren-Lagann is invincible! We have nothing to fear from the Teppelin Foundation!
Lord Genome: *evil laughter* We'll see about that, young man.
Kamina: Who's that?!
Simon: Aniki, there's a black Gurren-Lagann standing on Dai-Gurren's bow with its arms crossed!
Kamina: What?
Track 9
Nia: That's...Lazengann!
Leeron: It couldn't be...
Yoko: Lazengann?
Nia: The ultimate Gunmen controlled by my father!
Kittan: Your father...?
Nia: Lord Genome Teppelin. He's the leader of the Teppelin Foundation!
Leeron: To think that he would appear in person so soon...
Lord Genome: Do not underestimate the Teppelin Foundation's power, young man.
Kamina: I've heard that voice before...you're that bald guy from the ramen shop who did an eat-and-run!
Lord Genome: It wasn't an eat-and-run! That man's work simply wasn't worth paying money for.
Kamina: That's not the kind of thing you say after eating 52 bowls of ramen!
Lord Genome: Nia, it's been a while.
Kamina: He changed the subject!
Lord Genome: Keep your mouth shut, young man! Lazengann! DRILL BULLETS!
Kittan: The drill missiles made a direct hit!
Yoko: Kamina! Simon!
Lord Genome: Nia, your playtime is now over.
Nia: Father! Your methods are wrong! Even if you try to control people with power, they will not follow you!
Kamina: That's exactly right, goddammit!
Lord Genome: What?!
Kamina: It would take more than those missiles to defeat Gurren-Lagann! I won't let you have it your way!
Lord Genome: Ho. To not be destroyed by the Drill Bullets, you must be quite tough.
Simon: Of course! Me and Aniki's Gurren-Lagann won't lose so easily!
Kamina: Well said, Simon! Take a mouthful of our power, bald guy!
Lord Genome: Heheheheh, you are at least gifted in talking big.
???: You seem to be enjoying yourself, Father.
Lord Genome: Kuro Nia?
Kuro Nia: Though this may throw a damper on your entertainment, will you allow me to dispose of my foolish older sister and her foolish actions?
Lord Genome: Oh? You?
Kuro Nia: Let us make those fools have a taste of absolute despair, so that they would never fight against us again.
Lord Genome: If you want it that much, then I'll hand it over to you. However, only this once, Kuro Nia.
Kuro Nia: Thank you.
Lord Genome: LAZENGANN, JUMP THEN RUN AWAY!
Kamina: Wait! He's running away?
Lord Genome: I'm not running! We're just saving the rest of the story for the next drama CD! We'll meet again! *evil laughter*
Kittan: That Gunmen "Lazengann" sure was strong...
Leeron: We were saved this time.
Nia: Yes, but next time will be the decisive battle.
Simon: The next drama CD?
Kamina: It must mean that the Lagann-hen DVD will come with bonus features too. Interesting. Next time will be the real conclusion! I'll take that challenge, Lord Genome!
Track 10
Kamina: The Teppelin Foundation's final assassin turns out to be Nia's younger twin sister, Kuro Nia. Falling into her trap, Simon and I are accused of a false charge. The two of us are threatened by the greatest crisis yet! Why, Simon? Why do you stand against me? Why must Lagann and Gurren fight each other?! Simon's drill becomes aimed at me! Dai-Gurren Academy is thrown into confusion! Will we be able to protect Japan's peace?! Do you really plan to have such serious developments after such a ridiculous story?! Do you really plan on wrapping up this story, Nakashima Kazuki?! ...Even he doesn't know!
Next time: Drama CD Otoko Series Concluding Chapter, "Otoko-gumi dayo! Gurren Lagann!" will be included in the Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann the Movie: Lagann-hen Limited Edition DVD! Look forward to it!
Note: Kuro Nia ("Black" Nia) is Japanese fandom's nickname for Anti-Spiral Messenger Nia.
Track 6:
Kittan: (Kamina...it's too bad that I have to settle things with you like this, but I would sell my soul to the devil for my cute little sisters. No choice...I have no choice!)
Kamina: What's wrong, Kittan? You get scared? Or is that forkball you're so proud of slipping up?
Kittan: Shut up!
Kamina: Let's take it easy, Kittan.
Kittan: What...?
Kamina: You throw it at me with all your might, and I'll swing my bat with all my might! What happens next is all up to the gods of baseball!
Kittan: Kamina...
Kamina: If you want to play a straight game, I'll take you on anytime! That's what it means to be fated rivals!
Kittan: Fated...rivals...? Dammit...when it comes to you...
Yoko: Look, Kittan's in his pitching form but won't move.
Nia: He's just glaring fixedly at Kamina-san.
Dayakka: Hurry up and throw it, or I'll call a balk!
Rossiu: (Did he lose his nerve after getting this far?) Throw it, Kittan! WIth all your might! You shouldn't have any other choice!
Kittan: DAMMIIIIT!
Leeron: My, what a wild pitch.
Yoko: It's going toward Simon in the next batter's circle!
Simon: Waaaaah!
Dayakka: BALL!
Nia: Thank goodness! Simon caught it!
Kamina: You okay, Simon?
Simon: I'm fine, I'm fine. I'm always catching your balls, after all. But Aniki, this ball is covered in blood. And look!
Kamina: What? This is...Kittan...that bastard...
Leeron: Chairwoman, look. Kittan's nail is broken.
Nia: You're right...
Rossiu: (So he's trying to make it look like the ball slipped because of the blood? Good idea. This way he won't be accused of doing it on purpose. Very good. The next one will finish him. Shatter Kamina's head with your murderous ball!)
Kamina: Kittan! I understand your fighting spirit! Now, come!
Kittan: You're fine with it?
Kamina: Didn't I tell you? You're my rival!
Kittan: That's exactly what I wanted to hear. With those words, now I can give it my all!
Kamina: Bring it! I'll take it straight on!
Kittan: Got it! Here I go...!
Kamina: I've got this one!
Yoko: Kamina!
Leeron: The ball hit him directly on the head!
Simon: Aniki! It's no use, he's unconscious!
Nia: Call an ambulance, hurry!
Simon: No, there's no time for an ambulance. Daya-sensei! Take him to the hospital in your car!
Dayakka: Mine?
Yoko: I'll go too!
Simon: No. Yoko-san, you stay here.
Yoko: Why are you giving me orders?
Simon: I'll explain later! Now, sensei, hurry!
Dayakka: G-got it. Hey, someone lend me a hand!
Yoko: Kittan...you hit Kamina on purpose, didn't you?
Kittan: Yoko...
Yoko: I'll never forgive you!
Kittan: Say whatever you want.
Rossiu: Everyone of Dai-Gurren Academy, I don't know how I could apologize for the injury that Kittan-kun has inflicted. Of course, I have no intention of apologizing in the first place! Men!
Attenborough: M-machine guns!
Rossiu: I suggest you all behave. I don't like spilling needless blood.
Nia: What are high school baseball players doing with machine guns? Baseball players...machine guns...hmm...I don't understand this pun.
Simon: Chairwoman, it isn't a pun. This is a trap!
Nia: Ehh?!
Leeron: I see now. So you're one of Teppelin's minions too?
Rossiu: You're rather late to realize. I suppose even someone like you who was known for being brilliant would get rusty after working for that lady with her head in the clouds.
Leeron: Well, if it means I'd have to work with someone who has 'newcomer' written all over his large forehead...excuse me, large face, I think it was good that I left so quickly.
Rossiu: Not forehead...Dekoi. I am Rossiu Dekoi, the Teppelin Foundation's Japan Subjugation Project Team Leader. Now, Miss Nia. Give me Dai-Gurren's activation key.
Nia: Forehead...Dekoi...is that a--!
Rossiu: It is NOT a pun. I'll tell you now, but I despise anything with humor. I never once intended on making a pun. Now if you don't hurry, your dear students will be filled with holes. Kidd!
Kidd: Yeah!
Rossiu: Ailac!
Ailac: Okay!
Rossiu: Among my subordinates, these two are especially short-tempered. If you don't hurry, this will happen... Do it.
Attenborough: *scream*
Yoko: Atten!
Nia: You're horrible!
Ailac: Uh...no, that was a warning shot.
Kidd: Didn't you see us shoot at the sky?
Attenborough: Nyo?
Leeron: You weren't shot, you scatterbrain.
Rossiu: But next time you will be. Now, what will you do, Miss Nia?
Boota: *sounding angry*
Nia: Boota, you must put up with it. I understand. Here is the activation key.
Rossiu: You are quite sensible. While you're at it, take me to the bridge. Leeron, you too. You will teach me how to control Dai-Gurren. Kidd, Ailac, take the rest of them captive. Lock them up somewhere inside Dai-Gurren.
Kittan: Wait! I'll go too.
Rossiu: Oh, Kittan-kun. You're still here?
Kittan: I'm the one who betrayed them. So let me join you. I'd know what these guys are thinking better than you. Let me watch over them too.
Rossiu: I understand. However, don't forget that we have your cute little sisters.
Kittan: I know.
Rossiu: Now, come!
Nia: *shriek*
Leeron: Now, no need to be rough.
Simon: Chairwoman!
Nia: Don't worry. I'm sure everything will turn out fine!
Rossiu: It certainly won't.
Nia: This is Dai-Gurren's bridge.
Rossiu: So this is the stronghold of those fighting against the Teppelin Foundation. But starting today, it will be the base of our Japan Subjugation operations. Now my blunder of losing Dai-Gunkai will be wiped clean.
Leeron: My, what surprisingly petty profit-and-loss-arithmetic.
Rossiu: I merely have a firm sense of economy. All right, let's begin. Academy-shaped Dai-Gurren! Activate!
Track 7
Kittan: This tremor! Dai-Gurren's been activated?
Simon: I'll have to repair the school building again.
Kidd: Hey hey, you're not in the position to be saying something so easygoing. Right, Ailac?
Ailac: Yeah. Kidd's trigger there is lighter than a feather. He could pull it with the slightest movement.
Yoko: Kittan...you're the worst!
Kittan: You're right. It's natural for you to feel that way.
Ailac: Who's that?!
Kittan: Calm down, it's my cell phone. Yes? This is Kittan.
Kiyoh: Hello? Brother? We escaped safely!
Kittan: You guys are all safe?
Kinon: This is Kinon.
Kiyal: Kiyal's here too!
Simon: Kittan!
Kittan: Yeah, it worked great, Simon!
Kidd: Hey, Kittan! What are you talking about?
Kittan: Heh. THIS!
Kidd: This is all...I get to do...? *faint*
Ailac: Kittan! You bastard...
Yoko: I won't let you!
Ailac: Wonderful...roundhouse kick...lady...
Yoko: I'm not captain of Dai-Gurren Academy's karate club for nothing. So, what's going on, Simon?
Simon: Look outside the window, Yoko-san!
Kamina: Hey hey hey, looks like you're all doing as you please thinking I'm not around! But my Gurren won't allow any more of your lawlessness!
Rossiu: Gurren? Impossible!
Yoko: Kamina! You're okay?!

Yoko: What are you so proud of?
Kittan: Sorry. I promise I'll pay you back for this. In fact, I'll pay you back right now, by taking back this ship!
Yoko: Got it. I'll help too.
Kamina: Simon! I've brought your Lagann too! Take it!
Smon: Lagann's pierced into Dai-Gurren's deck! We'll go stop Dai-Gurren with Gurren-Lagann! Meanwhile, go save the Chairwoman!
Kittan: Leave it to me, I'll show that forehead guy a thing or two!
Simon: Let's go, Aniki! Combine!
Kamina: Yeah! I was waiting for this, Simon!
Kamina: No matter how steep the path of man, a man's soul remains pure!
Simon: There's no trap that can't be broken! It's shattered by our charging drill!
Kamina: A ball engraved with a friend's feelings! To accept it is the path of man!
Kamina+Simon: Pitching with all our heart, soul, and strength! Shut out combining! Gurren-Lagann! Who the hell do you think we are?!
Nia: Kamina-kun! Thank goodness he's okay!
Rossiu: Hmph. Even if they have Gurren-Lagann, now that Dai-Gurren is in my hands, there's nothing they can do. What perfect timing. Let's test the power of Dai-Gurren's main armaments. Leeron, fire the main armaments!
Leeron: Oh, is that okay?
Rossiu: Don't think of doing anything fishy. Besides you and Nia, the only people here are my subordinates. A gun is constantly being aimed at you.
Leeron: Then here I go. Firing main armaments.
Rossiu: What's with this shaking?!
Leeron: That's what happens when you fire the main armaments without strengthening Dai-Gurren's footing first.
Kittan: You're the ones with loose footing!
*guys being beaten up*
Rossiu: Kittan...you bastard...
Leeron: My, looks like your cute subordinates have all been defeated.
Yoko: We took our chance while the ship was shaking. Now you're the only one left, Rossiu.
Rossiu: Hmph. Do you think you've won with just that? Can't you see the muzzle of my gun pressed against Nia's temple?
Nia: That...feels a little cold.
Rossiu: You may have come charging in spiritedly, but the situation hasn't changed at all.
Nia: Is that really so?
Rossiu: Eh?
Nia: Go, Boota!
Rossiu: You little pigmole! Stop! Stop biting! Stop scratching!
Nia: Now! NIA SPIRALLING SHOE!
Rossiu: Uwaaagh!
Yoko: Following up with a YOKO HOT IRON CRUSHER!
Rossiu: Ow!
Nia: Yoko-san! Let's finish him off!
Yoko: You can count on me!
Nia+Yoko: NIA-YOKO DOUBLE KIIIIIIIIIICK!
Rossiu: Dowaaaaaah!
Kittan: You two are strong! And not just Yoko, but Nia-san too!
Leeron: That's just part of a lady's education.
Nia: Boota, good job!
Boota: Buhhyo!
Nia: See, didn't everything turn out fine, Rossiu-san?
Rossiu: Dammit...now that it's come to this, I'll have to escape! COME, VIRAL SASSOON! *whistle*
Track 8
Viral: I'm not your dog!!!
Rossiu: We'll meet again, ladies and gentlemen of Dai-Gurren Academy!
Kittan: Shit! He's jumped onto Enkidu!
Viral: After talking big like that, in the end you're just relying on me!
Rossiu: Shut up.
Kamina: Enkidu again? This guy just doesn't give up.
Viral: This time it's a little different. Take this, ENKI LUGGER!
Kamina: Sunglasses Cutter No-Point-In-Talking Slice!
Simon: We did it! We cut off Enkidu's arm, Enki Lugger and all!
Viral: Good job, Kamina. But did you think Viral-sama would challenge you to a fight in a normal Enkidu?!
Simon: The arm...went back to normal?
Kamina: It repaired itself!
Viral: Hahahahahahahahaha! How do you like that? This Enkidu has an Automatic Repair System installed! Thus named Enki-Do-It-Yourself! Your attacks won't work anymore! Hahahahaaahahahahahaha.
Rossiu: Indeed, it is a marvelous device. But isn't that built entirely on the expectation that you'll be beaten by their attacks?
Viral: To lose is to win, that's how I see it! You just keep your mouth shut, freeloader! Now come, Kamina!
Kamina: What a bother! Let's just finish this quickly! Simon! We'll settle this in one shot!
Simon: Yeah! Let's end it with this!
Kamina+Simon: GIGA...DRILL...BREEEAAAAKKKKK!
Kamina: Wh...what?!
Simon: The Giga Drill Break isn't working!
Viral: Hahahahahahahahaha! How do you like that? If we rotate at the same speed that your drill is rotating, then it's just as if we're being pricked by the tip of a needle! It won't work! The Giga Drill Break is now BROKEN!
Kamina: Nice one, Viral. But...don't you get dizzy?!
Viral: Eh?
Rossiu: Viral...somehow, I'm...feeling terribly unwell...
Viral: Uwah, idiot! Don't vomit in the cockpit, STOOOP!
Kamina: Now, Simon! Enkidu's rotation slowed down!
Simon: Power at full throttle! Increasing rotation!
Kamina: Okay, let's go!
Kamina+Simon: Max Rotation...GIGA...DRILL...BREEEAAAAKKKKK!
Viral: Dammit, not again! I'll remember this, Gurren-Lagann!
Rossiu: Besides that, stop the spinning!
Simon: We did it, Aniki!
Kamina: Yeah! Gurren-Lagann is invincible! We have nothing to fear from the Teppelin Foundation!
Lord Genome: *evil laughter* We'll see about that, young man.
Kamina: Who's that?!
Simon: Aniki, there's a black Gurren-Lagann standing on Dai-Gurren's bow with its arms crossed!
Kamina: What?
Track 9
Nia: That's...Lazengann!
Leeron: It couldn't be...
Yoko: Lazengann?
Nia: The ultimate Gunmen controlled by my father!
Kittan: Your father...?
Nia: Lord Genome Teppelin. He's the leader of the Teppelin Foundation!
Leeron: To think that he would appear in person so soon...
Lord Genome: Do not underestimate the Teppelin Foundation's power, young man.
Kamina: I've heard that voice before...you're that bald guy from the ramen shop who did an eat-and-run!
Lord Genome: It wasn't an eat-and-run! That man's work simply wasn't worth paying money for.
Kamina: That's not the kind of thing you say after eating 52 bowls of ramen!
Lord Genome: Nia, it's been a while.
Kamina: He changed the subject!
Lord Genome: Keep your mouth shut, young man! Lazengann! DRILL BULLETS!
Kittan: The drill missiles made a direct hit!
Yoko: Kamina! Simon!
Lord Genome: Nia, your playtime is now over.
Nia: Father! Your methods are wrong! Even if you try to control people with power, they will not follow you!
Kamina: That's exactly right, goddammit!
Lord Genome: What?!
Kamina: It would take more than those missiles to defeat Gurren-Lagann! I won't let you have it your way!
Lord Genome: Ho. To not be destroyed by the Drill Bullets, you must be quite tough.
Simon: Of course! Me and Aniki's Gurren-Lagann won't lose so easily!
Kamina: Well said, Simon! Take a mouthful of our power, bald guy!
Lord Genome: Heheheheh, you are at least gifted in talking big.
???: You seem to be enjoying yourself, Father.
Lord Genome: Kuro Nia?
Kuro Nia: Though this may throw a damper on your entertainment, will you allow me to dispose of my foolish older sister and her foolish actions?
Lord Genome: Oh? You?
Kuro Nia: Let us make those fools have a taste of absolute despair, so that they would never fight against us again.
Lord Genome: If you want it that much, then I'll hand it over to you. However, only this once, Kuro Nia.
Kuro Nia: Thank you.
Lord Genome: LAZENGANN, JUMP THEN RUN AWAY!
Kamina: Wait! He's running away?
Lord Genome: I'm not running! We're just saving the rest of the story for the next drama CD! We'll meet again! *evil laughter*
Kittan: That Gunmen "Lazengann" sure was strong...
Leeron: We were saved this time.
Nia: Yes, but next time will be the decisive battle.
Simon: The next drama CD?
Kamina: It must mean that the Lagann-hen DVD will come with bonus features too. Interesting. Next time will be the real conclusion! I'll take that challenge, Lord Genome!
Track 10
Kamina: The Teppelin Foundation's final assassin turns out to be Nia's younger twin sister, Kuro Nia. Falling into her trap, Simon and I are accused of a false charge. The two of us are threatened by the greatest crisis yet! Why, Simon? Why do you stand against me? Why must Lagann and Gurren fight each other?! Simon's drill becomes aimed at me! Dai-Gurren Academy is thrown into confusion! Will we be able to protect Japan's peace?! Do you really plan to have such serious developments after such a ridiculous story?! Do you really plan on wrapping up this story, Nakashima Kazuki?! ...Even he doesn't know!
Next time: Drama CD Otoko Series Concluding Chapter, "Otoko-gumi dayo! Gurren Lagann!" will be included in the Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann the Movie: Lagann-hen Limited Edition DVD! Look forward to it!
