So, I've been surfing OBW's Gurren Lagann profiles lately, and I stumbled across something I find a bit odd. That being, as the title suggests, Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann, the Granzeboma/Grand Zamboa and those who scale are rated as Low 2-C here. However, with all due respect to the wiki, I do consider that to be a pretty flawed rating, and here are the reasons why:

1) It doesn't really make sense. The Anti-Spiral itself is rated as "High 2-A, likely High 1-C", while the Granzeboma is just Low 2-C. While you could argue that it's just the Anti-Spiral trying to inflict absolute despair on Team Dai-Gurren, and is thus holding back by a few infinities, we need to remember that the Granzeboma is the Anti-Spiral's only mech in the anime. To say that the Anti-Spiral was suppressing itself to Low 2-C throughout the entire battle, even until it dies and should logically be using everything it has to survive, wouldn't make any sense, as the whole reason it even exists is to protect the universe from the Spiral Nemesis. This whole thing basically implies, even if unintentionally, that, to the Anti-Spiral, inflicting despair on just another Spiral race >>> fulfilling the only reason it exists by protecting the universe and using its full power to defeat said race and prevent their evolution, which just doesn't add up.

2) The Infinity Big Bang Storm scales to STTGL and the Super Granzeboma, at least to an extent. Why? Well, for one, Tengen Toppa Lagann's Absorption of it (which TTGL also did in the anime, of course) is what facilitated the formation of STTGL in the first place. They didn't just bust out the energy to do so and become "High 2-A, likely High 1-C" outta nowhere, which'd be an odd assumption to make anyway, since we have something to credit for said power boost. The next thing is also in the second movie, where we see TTGL hold back the Anti-Spiral Giga Drill Break for a few seconds. Now, yes, it's just a few seconds, but given that we're dealing with a difference of more than infinity, that's quite enough to scale to 5-D/11-D rather than Low 2-C, since if TTGL was still Low 2-C, it'd be obliterated instantly, let alone hold it back and only have its Giga Drill broken.

Yeah, the Infinity Big Bang Storm is basically a big bang that rivals that which created the universe, but it doesn't justify the flaws in its current Tiering. If anything, it just shows that the universe itself has 11 dimensions, as a Big Bang attack is comparable to characters who scale to High 1-Cs.

3) TTGL should be higher than Low 2-C anyway. Prior to TTGL being formed, the Infinite Multiverse Labyrinth was absorbed by Simon's core drill and integrated into Gurren Lagann, which is what facilitated TTGL's formation to begin with. Again, the power to go from Super Galaxy Gurren Lagann, which is 3-B or whatever it may be considered here, to TTGL didn't come outta nowhere, especially not when we have the IML to credit for it. The Labyrinth, of course, consists of infinite possibilities/universes, with even more being formed by the second as those are perceived.

So that's it. What I'm basically proposing is that Low 2-C should be removed entirely, as it doesn't make sense. At the very least, TTGL and the Granzeboma should be 2-B or 2-A (or if you wanna go there, 2-C if we just go by the multiple rays representing possibilities that were absorbed into the drill, which is... a weird argument to make, but hey) due to the 3rd point I mentioned, but I do believe it's straight up "High 2-A, likely High 1-C" due to point 1 and 2. But yeah, that's all I have to say.

Thoughts?
