Except that it isn’t just those ten seconds. It’s the whole opening that evolves, throws back at earlier events just to push forward, in a way that feels completely natural and consistent with the theme of the anime series - evolving and going forward.

Perfect way to describe how the OP feels while watching the show. What also enhanced it for me was listening to the full version and reading the translated lyrics. I love how the second verse reveals that

Gurren Lagann Spoilersthe song is Simon sending a post-humous message to Kamina about the experiences he went through following Kamina's death: from lost and aimless to carrying on Kamina's legacy by pushing forward and cherishing every day.


It's very moving and adds a lot of depth to such an upbeat and energetic song.
