Growing up, I always heard stories.

Such strange yet wonderful stories…

They were stories that I heard from both friends and family.

Stories of a boy who digged tunnels and a warrior who showed no fear.

It is said that us humans use to live underground in fear of the surface above.

But then one day, the digger and the warrior found a mechanical face underground.

And by plugging in a drill of legends, a new adventure was born.

The two adventurers dug through the ground, surfacing into the world above

On a mission to pierce through the heaven’s themselves.

The warrior died early on in the journey to new lands,

But his spirit empowered the digger to push forward

Kick out the logic

and do the impossible.

Using the power of might metal men, the digger and his companions defeated great beings from the stars

And the world was at peace for 100 years.

And to this day, the mere name of that great Gunman strikes fear into the evil and hope into the innocent.

Gurren Lagann.
