Great thread. I have had a feeling about the power of spirals & helixes for a while now, but I am not yet knowledgeable enough to piece everything together. I just know that they are fundamental to the nature of reality. 

I view the helix shape as cycles moving forward in time. For example, a year is in the shape of a helix, the top being summer, bottom being winter, and the two sides being the transitional phases of spring & fall, ascent & descent.

It's the same with life. We have our peaks and valleys, periods of both getting better and getting worse, but we are always moving forward.

There is really something to sprials and helixes. I haven't the math or physics knowledge yet to tie that in well, but this image illustrates the connection to sine & cosine waves.

Well what I see in the show is that Kamina had the truest example of Fighting Spirit/Chi/Willpower, and he just acted with absolute confidence that they would find a way through every obstacle. The rest of the world can only hope to copy Kamina's strength so they name their city after him, they built all their first mechs to look like Dai-Gurren, They made those Gen-Z Grapearls and they all look like Gurren Lagann. So in that way it's kind of an outward spiralling effect where one man's inspired actions has consequences that influence the world around him in bigger ways. Rossiu is afraid to save his life and has no faith in finding a solution that would save everyone but keeps cutting his losses again and again and even then he really saved no one. Simon was thrown in jail and was smiling in there, congratulating rossiu for launching the Arc because Simon has absolute faith. Even in the depths of bondage he knows Fate will give him the opportunity to break loose.

So imagine willpower is the tip of the drill. That point spins and the concentric rings it forms in its wake are the results of that willpower in action. Kamina did what he wanted bc it was badass and honorable but every human after him worship him for what he did instead of his message which was that anyone with fighting spirit can reject all limiting factors to make the impossible possible. Kind of Christ-like in that way (Believe in me who believes in you and you will accomplish miracles, even at the point where defeat is most certain.)

Is the anti-spiral the anti-christ? Or just the ever-present limiting effect of life that wherever we find ourselves we will always be faced with challenges that we have to overcome?
