Vilgax Giga Drill Rebirth

Simon made a drill. That drill, once forged, grew larger than a planet. It grew to cast a shadow over the sun. It grew until it was larger than Gurren Lagann itself, and then grew larger than that. That drill was the physical manifestation of Simon's will, and even this shape it took on now was a weak approximation of it, for even the universe itself could not contain Simon's bravery.

Before Gurren Lagann broke down, Simon was going to smash that drill right into Vilgax's stupid face.

"GIGA..."
"DRILL..."
"REBIRTH!"

Simon brought down the full might of Gurren Lagann's drill, and Vilgax dashed his fists against it in turn. That drill spun eternally. Halting its progress would be like halting the flow of time itself. But if anyone could stop the world, it was Vilgax. Every punch chipped away a little more, another piece, scraping through, like an ant carrying away a mountain. The drill didn't halt. Vilgax would not stop. Giga Drill Rebirth created its own gravitational field, a concentration of spiral energy so dense it was equivalent to a black hole. But Vilgax never wavered. His fists continued to crack it, digging deeper cavities even as the radiation of its spiral energy seeped into him. Vilgax would out-drill the drill.

Even then Gurren Lagann did not give up. It pulled energy from every part in its once-whole body to rejuvenate the drill and keep it eternally driving onwards. Its legs disappeared, and so did its torso. One by one, all of its endless arms blinked out of existence like fading stars, more fuel thrown on the fire to halt Vilgax's furious fists. Still more fissures formed in the drill, trailing up the arms. He carved a tunnel through. He beat his own path into the drill. Once Vilgax emerged out the back, all of Gabriel's power had been spent, and only Lagann itself was left.

Vilgax swung his fist forward and broke through that drill, too.
