It was late at night in Kamina City, and you couldn’t sleep. Something was weighing you down. So you decided to take a late night stroll and clear your head. Eventually, you walk past the famed statue of Kamina, the man who the city was named after. He was a war hero who ignited a rebellion against the Spiral King, and the reason you can live comfortably at all. You look up at that smiling visage and wonder how he managed to stay motivated until the bitter end

“Hey, you there! The hell’s up with that look in your eyes?!”

You turn around in shock expecting to be robbed or something. Instead you see an odd sight: A man looking uncannily like Kamina himself. The same shades, the cape, even the face shape was identical.

“You’re looking up at that badass statue of me like it’s a ceiling. As if I’m looking down at you, with a smug smirk that says “You could never be the mighty Kamina, the badass and macho leader of Team Dai-Gurren, who fought against fate itself!”. Am I wrong?”

He chuckles and shakes his head, before striking a dramatic pose and continuing to talk

“Who the hell do you think I am?! If my legacy is your ceiling, then break through it! Surpass me and pierce the heavens, that’s what Team Dai-Gurren’s all about! You got it?!”
