![]() King Kittan makes a small cameo in "Gunmen Symphony" (Parallel Works 15). The mecha was then used to halt the assault of the lion Beastman (now gigantic) long enough for Kittan to exit the cockpit and finish him off. After recovering from the impact, Kittan raced a lion-like Beastman to the unoccupied Gunmen, and with the help of his sisters, managed to commandeer it for himself-which spontaneously transformed it into the form of King Kittan. The Gunmen promptly crashed to the ground, conveniently dispelling a water orb created by Adiane to drown Kiyal and Kiyoh. It was deployed against Kittan and Kinon, but the former leapt to its cockpit, ripping it open and attacking the pilot. Similar to Gurren, it was initially a crimson Beastmen mecha, able to fly at great speeds, transform into a sphere, and fire a hail of bullets from unseen machine guns. One tale of the acquisition of the King Kittan is shown in "Kittan Zero" (Parallel Works 9). ![]() Despite its strengths, it was destroyed when the Death Spiral Machine's energy field crushed it. It could also be equipped with a powerful Drill Missile and several missile pods, as when it tried to assault the Death Spiral Machine. It's armor is relatively thinner than most other gunmen of the same class. Despite the warship class armor, it is amazingly maneuverable. The original King Kittan is situated in the mouth of the machine, and can be launched via eject feature. It was equipped with a lance and a shield, both of which resemble the original King Kittan in Deluxe form (combined with Kiyal's gunmen). The Space King Kittan resembles the normal King Kittan, but with more accented features, battle-ship class armor, and being much bigger (like all other Space Gunmen). As a final token to the memory of Kittan, the digger's goggles transformed into crimson sunglasses in the shape of the King Kittan's body (a star). This act, combined with the enormous amount of Spiral power surrounding the Super Galaxy Dai-Gurren, allowed Simon to form the powerful Super Galaxy Gurren Lagann. But, before exploding, the normal King Kittan ejected from its mouth, and through Kittan awakening his Spiral Power, it achieved its mission before getting destroyed, along with its pilot. However, it was destroyed in a failed attempt to save the Super Galaxy Dai-Gurren from the Anti-Spirals' Galactic Spiral Abyss by destroying the Death Spiral Machine at its core. The Space King Kittan would fulfill the roles of the former, serving as field deputy and squad commander of the original brigade (the Grapearls being lead by the younger Gimmy and Darry), and remain as one of the only two space gunmen not destroyed in the initial battle. Based off of the Arc Gurren, the Space King Kittan (like all other Space Gunmen) were piloted by a cascade interface, from Space Gunmen, to Gunmen, to pilot. Thus, with the amazing manufacturing capabilities of the Super Galaxy Dai-Gurren, Leyte managed to produce Space Gunmen the size of warships-for Team Dai-Gurren's use. It is soon found out that the King Kittan, like all other spiral king-era ganmen, were designed for space combat, allowing the humans to bring the fight to the Anti-Spirals.Īs the war took on a new front, the Gunmen themselves found that they were now dwarfed by their commander in the Arc Gurren Lagann. The King Kittan, alongside the other Gunmen from Team Dai-Gurren, is reintroduced by Makken and Leyte Jokin, who equip it with a spiral cannon on its right arm to use against the invading Mugann. It was assumed to be scrapped along with the other original Gunmen under orders by Rossiu, making way for the adoption of the Grapearls by the human military, however they were actually kept at Leyte and Makken's shop in secret maintained to "peak condition" as stated by Leyte. Later on, Kittan works together with Kiyoh and Kiyal in the Dayakkaiser and Kiyalunga, respectively, to create the King Kittan's pseudo-combination called King Kittan Deluxe. During battles, he and King Kittan would serve as squad commander andĭeputy of Team Dai-Gurren, leading most of the group against the Beastmen soldiers while Gurren Lagann went after stronger targets. Kittan pilots the King Kittan through the entire first half of the series, up until the fall of Teppelin. King Kittan Deluxe attacking Guame's custom Gunman. After gathering other Gunmen-hijackers, including Dayakka, Kittan sought out Kamina once more to help form Team Dai-Gurren. Kittan is rather proud of his Gunmen, and is one of the first people to steal one after the example set by Kamina. During the Beastmen War, Kittan, inspired by Kamina's hijacking of Gunzar, hijacks a Gunmen of his own and customizes it, calling it the King Kittan.
