Re: The rage is strong with me today

She isn't trying to find a purpose, she was trying to understand what it meant to be human.

I deliberately said she wasn't trying to find a purpose.

It isn't in Nia's character to extendedly grieve, but her own type of insecurity was delivered plenty through the show.

Where was this?

She asks for a proper burial of her sisters in order to validate her own existence, she hesitates to kill her father in episode 15, she in at first scared of Simon's proposal because she wants to protect her own identity and she ultimately asks him to allow her in order to become Nia once again.

How were Viral or Yoko given more of an individual crucible than Nia?

Youko's was finding her purpose--unlike Nia's. Viral's was similar in that he was searching for a place to call home. All of the (remaining) mains' are illuminated by their scenes in 26.

How was Kamina given more of an individual crucible than Nia? I remember Kamina screaming for his father for a brief sequence in episode 2 and "forgetting" about it in subsequent adventures.

You are kidding, right? Kamina is the second most complex character in the entire show--and I didn't even like him all that much, honestly--Kamina was operating almost entirely on bravado and felt like the only thing he could really do was try to give strength to people like Simon. He outright says this, so I'm not sure why you're thinking that Kamina's development is somehow tied to his father.

That's why he needed to die, narratively, before Simon figured out there was a "man behind the curtain".

Funny how you ignore the scenes I mentioned. Nia was insecure of her own worth, but she thought moping around would not help her move forward. She wanted to atone for the sins of her father. She buried her sisters because she wanted to be assured of the value of her kind. She was trying to understand humanity, that was her purpose. Something as compelling as Yoko's, Viral's and Kamina's.

Kamina's development is tied to his father because the essential theme of Gurren-Lagann is the confrontation between the past and the future. The eternal conflicts between those that will come and those that came before.
