Of note is a series of shout-outs to its spiritual predecessor, including the Gurren Lagann universe's alphabet and Lagann's Spiral Power Meter for eagle-eyed viewers, the warp engine on Kray's ship is powered by spinning the Burnish in circles, purified Burnish Energy is green just like Spiral Power and even works in a similar way, Lio De Galon looks a lot like something you'd find in Gurren Lagann, and Galo De Lion is a cosmic-sized mecha made out of pure energy just like Super Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann, although only planet-sized as opposed to the size of a significant percentage of the universe.
#Galo and lio movie
Not only does Galo survive the entire film, but with the exception of Deus Prometh (who was killed by Kray long before the movie began anyway) and Thyma, who Lio tries and fails to revive, none of the main characters die. Given how Galo resembles Kamina, many fans expect the former to similarly die like him in the movie.Galo, Lio, and Kray are the main sources of this phenomenon. Estrogen Brigade: The movie ended up being a huge hit among women, especially Yaoi Fangirls.There is even a Fandom-Specific Plot in which she joins the Mad Burnish. Ensemble Dark Horse: Thyma has a pretty decent following despite (or maybe as a result of) being a Sacrificial Lamb, with fans gravitating towards her unique design and sympathetic circumstances as the Burnish's resident Audience Surrogate.When Heris turns on Kray and teams with the Burning Rescue Squad to save the Burnish, Vulcan attempts to kill them all and ensure every last Burnish meets an agonizing death. The real horror of Vulcan's crimes comes with the reveal that the hundreds of Burnish he captures are handed off to be tortured, experimented on, and turned into living batteries for Kray's technology, a fact that Vulcan is cheerfully aware of and happy to be a part of so long as he gets to satisfy his sadistic, racist superiority complex towards the Burnish. Having hunted down and captured innocent and criminal Burnish alike over the years, Vulcan violently mistreats his prisoners and laughs off one's death due to his own negligence.
Colonel Vulcan Haestus is the brutal leader of Freeze Force, using the guise of law and order to carry out Governor Kray Foresight's terrible schemes against the Burnish.
