“ Remember. This drill will blow a hole in the universe. That hole will be the path for those who follow. The wishes of those who have fallen and the hopes of those who will come after them are woven into a double helix to dig a path that will lead to tomorrow! That's Tengen Toppa, that's Gurren Lagann. My drill is the drill that creates the heavens!! „
~ Simon as they destroy Antispiral's Giga Drill


Background

Simon (シモン, Shimon?) (Pronounced like "Seemon") is the primary protagonist of the anime series, Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann. He begins the story as a short, unassuming and lonely young boy from Giha Village, working as a digger to expand the village. One day as he was digging, he unearthed objects that allow for Kamina and himself to begin their adventure above the surface. Throughout their adventures, they have gained a sense of a greater purpose on the surface, which is to fight against the Beastman and the Spiral King, Lordgenome, so that all humans may live on the surface without a worry in the world. After the defeat of Lordgenome, Simon usurped the position of Earth's protector as the Commander-in-Chief of Kamina City. 6 years after taking this position, he was arrested for war crimes, leaving Kamina City and Messenger Nia to make an enemy out of Simon. Despite all odds against him, he stood tall, with his unwavering spirit to battle against the real threat; Antispiral, to save his love interest, Nia, from this cosmic threat. After the defeat of Antispiral, Simon takes upon his wish to protect the universe at all costs, by preventing the Spiral Nemesis from happening. 20 years later, Simon travels the Earth, stepping down as Team Dai-Gurren's leader and Gurren Lagann's pilot, to guide all of Spiral kind to the path towards tomorrow.
