Tengen Toppa Sawzorthn
ItemTengen Toppa Sawzorthn is Zorthy Kanai's contribution to the wall of galaxy-sized giants in the second film. It fights with blasts of sound, unleashing supersonic waves strong enough to tear an arm clean off the Granzeboma.
Overview
Zorthy Kanai's Tengen Toppa Gunmen takes shape in the final battle of the second movie, The Lights in the Sky are Stars, and is later spent with the other giants to help raise Super Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann.
Function
Its shape descends from Zorthy's original Sawzorthn and the Space Gunmen version that followed, and it arrives seventh among the giants that spring up once the Granzeboma wrecks Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann. The machine wages war through sound, firing supersonic waves fierce enough to shear away one of the enemy's limbs.
When Kid's Tengen Toppa Kidknuckle is in danger, this giant's sonic strike pulls him clear, mirroring Makken's Tengen Toppa Mo-Shogun as it rescues Iraak. It afterward lends its power to the team's massed volley against the Granzeboma before joining the fusion that becomes their combined final form.
