In the fields of Teppelin City, young Kamina walks to the fields with his friends Yoko and Kittan. When they walk upon the hill, down below they see the five hundred members of the Northern Kanto Gang Alliance, a group of juvenile teens that have terrorized the villagers with their attitudes and violent ways. Walking through them is their leader and representative Uzu Sanageyama, who is holding the six-year-old Simon hostage.
"There he is!" Kittan shouted.
"Simon!" Yoko cried out.
"Yoko! Help me!" Simon said before Uzu shut him up.
"Well well." Uzu begins with a grin on his face. "Young Kamina. Leader of the newly founded Dai-Gurren Gang. I'm surprised you showed."
"Just helping out a friend in need." Kamina finally speaks. "something that you nor your friends behind you understand."
"You think just because you created some gang, you are better than me? I've been doing this since i'm a kid. me and the commanders have been running this town from the very beginning. I've taken down more men than more games that you have played. So why don't you just go on ahead back home before you hurt yourself."
"Not without Simon." Kamina shouted as he raised his bamboo sword at him. "you and your gang has been hurting us since the Civil War ended. You have stolen from us, hurten the ones we loved and killed more people than the war did. But that ends today. The Dai-Gurren Gang will destroy the grip that you have on this newly founded city. We will restore gourage and freedom to the people that you struck into. The reputation of the Dai-Gurren Gang will echo far and wide, and when they talk about their badass leader, full of indomitable spirit and masculinity, they'll be talking about me, the mighty Kamina! Just who in the hell do you think i am?!"
After that, the gang soon attacked him, but in a quick flash, he used his fighting spirit to down most of the men, leaving the rest to perish under his bamboo sword. His skill was unmatched and too powerful against them. Yoko was enchanted by this, and Kittan was thrilled with excitement just by seeing it. Simon also sees this himself, amazed and inspired by his true strength.
After the last member was downed, Uzu pulled out his own sword and jumps to attack him. "You may have attacked my men, but you won't defeat me!" Uzu strikes at him, but Kamina manages to block his attacks. After Kamina misses, Uzu sees an advantage to take him down. "I finally have you!" he shouted. But suddenly, Kamina notices him and strikes him in the gut, sending him into a world of pain. Uzu kneels down on the ground suffering and Kamina does nothing but watch. Kamina then notices his glasses that have flown off his face when he was struck and takes them and puts it on his face. "I'll be taking your glasses now as a reminder of what happened today." Kamina told him when he points his bamboo sword against his throat.
Later, Simon walks by Kamina smiling. "Thank you, Kamina" Simon thanks him.
"Don't call me Kamina." Kamina told him. he then puts his arm around Simon's shoulder. "Call me Aniki".
