Summary
Simon (シモン, Shimon?) (pronounced like "Simone") is the central protagonist of the anime and manga series, Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann. He begins the story as a short, unassuming and lonely young boy, but grows up into a commanding and well-loved man. Hailed for being like a drill, he became known as a legendary hero who overcame impossible odds both personal and universal and now stands eternally as a beacon for the good of all man and spiral kind.
At the end of the series, he had developed so much Spiral Energy in his body during his fight with the Anti-Spiral that he had become likened to a God, a title he resented. He chose to use this newfound potential to assist the people of Earth and the galaxy at large come together in peace and harmony, leading into the Golden Age of humanity.
