OTOKO IPPIKI GURREN LAGANN! Drama CD Translation (Pt. 3)
Finally done! This goes all the way to the end. Sorry, there were a few words I couldn't understand. Fixed!



Kamina: Now what's wrong, you bastards? Can't you do anything against my Gurren?
Twins: Boss, the guns aren't working! He tossed our cars too!
Kidd: At this rate, we'll be crushed!
Guinble: I-I-Idiots!! We can't run away!
Kamina: It's my first time riding it, but it moves just how I want it to. What an amazing mecha!
*large footsteps*
Kamina: What?!
Yakuza 1: There's another giant robot coming from other there!
Yakuza 2: This one is white, and it's got a ring on its head!
Guinble: O-o-o-o-okay we can run now, you know, if we get caught up in it we're really done for!
Yakuza: Wait for us, Ginbu-san!
*NIKOPOL PLAYS*
Viral: You're in good shape, punk. But if an amateur like you gets carried away, you'll get hurt!
Kamina: Who the hell are you?
Viral: This Ganmen's name is Enki. I'll just say that my name is Viral.
Kamina: A Ganmen?
Viral: We can't have you calling it something so boring as a "robot."
Kamina: Heh! I don't really get it, but if you want to fight, I'll be your opponent! GO, GURREN!
Viral: Take this! ENKI SLICER!!
*Kamina screams*
Viral: Did it work?
Kamina: Not yet it hasn't!
Viral: You're built pretty well after all! Then how about THIS! ENKI SLASH!! ROLLING HIGH KICK!!
*more Kamina screaming*
Viral: What's wrong? Come at me!! Even though Enki is so cool! It was only used once in the original story! At least in the drama CD, I want it to play much, much, much more of an active role! Now come!!
Kamina: Dammit...he just goes on saying what he pleases!
Simon: Kamina!
Kamina: Who is it?
Simon: It's Simon!
Kamina: Simon? That drill boy?
Simon: I'm heading that way right now. Let's gattai with Lagann!
Kamina: Lagann?
Simon: Right. It's my Ganmen, Lagann!
Kamina: What do you mean?
Viral: What's wrong, what's wrong? Your movement is getting slow! ENKI SWOOORD!
Kamina: D-Dammit!
Nia: Kamina-kun?
Kamina: B-board chairman?!
Nia: Gurren and Lagann are Counter-Ganmen Humanoid Weapons left to you by your fathers!
Kamina: What?!
Nia: Professor Kamino and Professor Hotta were formerly scientists working for the Teppelin Foundation. But learning of the Teppelin Foundation's plans for invading Japan using Ganmen, they betrayed the Foundation, and prepared weapons to oppose them! That is Gurren and Lagann!
Kamina: Hey, um, it sounds like you're saying something really important, but I'm getting pretty beat up right now, so I don't have much time to understand...
Yoko: Just combine already! That is if you don't want to get killed!
Kamina: Yoko?!
Yoko: We've escaped to the school! Those guys are planning to disrupt the peace of this city! If you don't defeat them, who will?!
Kamina: I see...so that's how it is! Now I understand! COME, SIMON!
Simon: I'm here, Kamina!
Viral: What?! He burst out from the ground?!
Simon: Kamina, grab Lagann and stick it into Gurren's head! With all your might!
Kamina: Not "Kamina"! Call me "Aniki"!
Simon: Eh?
Kamina: To gattai and become one is the same as sharing a bond of brotherhood! From now on, we'll be together through life and death! Simon!
Simon: Heh, that sounds interesting. Got it, Aniki!
Kamina: Good! Let's go! GATTAI!!!
*SMASH*
Simon: ........A...Aniki? .....Ani..ki...?
Kamina: .......bwaugh! I-I'm okay! My dead old man was saying "It's still too early" from the other side of the river!
Simon: You're on the verge of death!
Kamina: I'm okay! The tip of the drill that came in through the ceiling just stabbed me a little!
Simon: It stabbed you?!
Kamina: The skin on my head got cut, that's all! Thanks to that, now I'm WIDE AWAKE!!!!
*power-up sound*
Kamina: This thing is powering up from the gattai!
Simon: We can go now, Aniki!
Kamina: Spending all day doing nothing but fighting, what lies in the chest of this Banchou punk is hot blood and huge ambition!
Simon: Spending all day doing nothing but repairing, the oath of men repairs this world!
Kamina: The giant robot is revealed! I lay my life in this guy's hands!
Kamina+Simon: BROTHERLY COMBINATION! GURREN-LAGANN! WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK WE ARE?!
Viral: He's gotten one size bigger! But HOW WILL THIS DO?! ENKI...MISSILE!!!
Simon: IT'S NO USE! GIGA DRILL...MAXIMUM!!
Viral: Drills came out from all over its body?!
Kamina: Simon! Your forte is a drill, huh? Interesting! This fight is getting fired up!
Rossiu: What are you doing taking your time, Viral? I'd rather not attack myself, but it seems there is no choice. UNDERSEA FORTRESS DAIGUNKAI! LAUNCH!!!
Kamina: What the? What's that scorpion thing?
Viral: Tch...that Rossiu, doing something unnecessary!
Rossiu: Allowing Gurren-Lagann to be overlooked any longer would ruin the Teppelin Foundation's reputation. I will help you out.
Kamina: Heh...it's almost like a monster!

Dayakka: Board chairman! It's the Undersea Mobile Fortress Daigunkai!
Leeron: They're getting that serious...
Yoko: Daya-sensei and Rino-sensei...you two...
Leeron: Are you surprised, Yoko? We are comrades fighting against the Teppelin Foundation together with the board chairman.
Kittan: What the hell is with this school...?!
Leeron: But you know, this isn't all we've got yet...
Nia: It may be inconvenient for the people of the school, but we have no choice. Mobile Fortress Dai-Gurren, ATTACK!
Boota: Buhhiu!
Dayakka: Roger!
Yoko: N-no way! There was something like this inside the school building?!

Kamina: Simon! Now another huge battleship is coming out from the school building!
Simon: That's...our stronghold, Mobile Fortress Dai-Gurren! ...But you know, if that attacks, then I'll have to repair the entire school building...
Kamina: Hire a professional, board chairman!

Nia: Prepare main armaments! Target: Daigunkai!
Yoko: Board chairman! Please let me do it!
Nia: Yoko-san?
Yoko: I can't just let Kamina fight by himself! Please trust the skills of the Dai-Gurren Academy Long-Range Bombarding Club President!
Kittan: There's a club for that?
Nia: I understand. I'll leave this to you!
Boota: Buubiubuubiu!
Kinon: Daigunkai is approaching!
Kittan: Kinon...when did you become the operator?

Rossiu: What is that walking battleship? There's a limit to how much you can joke around!
Yoko: Target: Lock Confirmed!
Nia: Fire main armaments!
Yoko: FIRING MAIN ARMAMENTS!
*explosions*
Rossiu: Hmm...so they shot through the engine with one shot. And I've only just come out...
Yoko: YES!!
Nia: As expected of Yoko-san!
Boota: *sounding gleeful*

Viral: ...IDIOT!!! Th-That was too quick, Rossiu!
Kamina: All right, let's finish this right away!
Simon: Leave it to me, Aniki!
Kamina+Simon: KILLING MOVE! GIGA...DRILL...BREAK!!!!!!!
Viral: Dammit...I'll remember this, Kamina! NEXT TIME, I'LL DEFINITELY...!!
Kamina: You idiot, this is a drama CD! There is no next time!!
Viral: DOWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA~!

Nia: I am Nia Teppelin. I am the daughter of the president of the Teppelin Foundation. Learning of my father's ambitions, I betrayed him and escaped to Japan.
Boota: Buubuu.
Nia: And in order to stop their ambitions, I was having Professor Kamino and Professor Hotta produce combining Ganmen.
Boota: Buu!
Nia: Hearing of this, they came here to investigate.
Boota: Buiuuiuu.
Kamina: Heh, that's pretty interesting! If they're going to come aiming for Japan, Kamina-sama will be their opponent anytime! OTOKO IPPIKI GURREN-LAGANN IS RIGHT HERE!
Simon: Hey, Aniki?
Kamina: What is it?!
Simon: Why is the title "Otoko Ippiki" when Gurren-Lagann is piloted by the two of us?
Kamina: That's because you haven't grown up yet! You don't need a word like "hitori"! "Ippiki" is enough! Basically, the "otoko" of Otoko Ippiki Gurren Lagann is me, and "ippiki" is you!
Simon: That's the punchline?!

[Explanation: "Otoko Ippiki" means "One Man." Normally when referring to humans, the "one" is written as "hitori," but instead here they're using "ippiki," which is used to refer to one animal. Which means Simon is less than a man. Poor guy. And yes...the title is really only comprehensible in Japanese.]


Kamina: A new enemy stands before our invincible Gurren-Lagann!
Rossiu: I, Rossiu Dekoi, will pay you back for the last time! GO, AERO TERRESTRIAL MOBILE FORTRESS GANMEN DAIGUNZANKAI!!!
Kamina: Shit, what an enormous monster!
Simon: Aniki, on top of that there are lots of Enki coming out!
Kamina: That's no ordinary Enki, they've got arms growing all over the place!
Viral: Hahahahahaha! Do you see, Kamina?! This is my Hundred Enki Force! The one with two arms is Enkidu! Four arms is Enkidudu! Six arms is Enkidududu! Eight arms is Enkidudududu! The rooster's cry is cock-a-doodle-do! To stop a horse you say "dou dou"...WHAT THE HELL?!
Rossiu: Don't bother introducing them, Viral. OUR VICTORY IS RIGHT IN FRONT OF US!!

Kamina: Next time on OTOKO IPPIKI GURREN LAGANN! Conclusion Chapter! "Gurren-Lagann is in a great pinch! Rossiu's forehead glimmers with killing intent!" Look forward to it!

YEAH!!!
