Kiyalunga
ItemKiyalunga is Kiyal Bachika's personal Gunmen, first seen as she trains with Kittan aboard the Dai-Gurren. Its one notable trick is folding into a spear and shield for King Kittan Deluxe, and it is lost before the war with the Anti-Spirals.
Overview
Kiyalunga is the personal Gunmen that belongs to Kiyal Bachika. It appears while she trains alongside Kittan aboard the Dai-Gurren. When the many older machines are retired in favor of the more advanced Grapearls and later reclaimed for the Anti-Spiral fight, Kiyalunga is nowhere among the reassembled lineup, a sign that it was one of the units already destroyed by then.
Function
Its single demonstrated ability is transformation into a spear and shield wielded by King Kittan, the pairing that produces the King Kittan Deluxe configuration. No other function or separate name is ever given for this feature, which makes supplying that weaponry the machine's defining contribution on the battlefield.
