The Beastmen are all jailed and taken care of, and Simon and the Dia-Gurren Brigade become the big bosses. (Manliness is a clear theme in “ Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann“.).Īfter the first season is over, the absolutely, over-the-top crazy nonsense of the second season starts several years in the future. He became a real character in his own and began to fight like a real, well…man. It was at this part that I really liked Simon. Eventually, Simon does man up and fight again, piloting Gurren Lagann alone. That was all he did like ever and it became kinda creepy. Simon literally sat in a room carving Kamina statues. Now, I do understand this depression, but it is taken to such an extreme in the show that it seemed a little too far. Simon becomes extremely depressed and is reduced to a husk of a human being. The team turns to Simon for leadership right away, but he isn’t ready. Simon was going to show his great manliness now. With Kamina’s passing, I was very depressed but also hopeful.
Gurren Lagann is stabbed through the chest where Kamina pilots and this forces Simon to pilot alone after freaking out. (SPOILERS BIG TIME DEAR GOD DON’T READ ON IF YOU DON’T WANT SPOILERS) Lordgenome and his Gunmanĭuring the charge and great battle, horrible things happen Kamina dies. Together with their brigade, they charge an enemy stronghold. Simon is the main character of the show, but it doesn’t really feel like that’s the case. They acquire many teammates and everyone follows Kamina the great leader, not Simon. Eventually, Kamina and Simon create a rebellion force called the Dai-Gurren Brigade. This made me kind of annoyed at times, but at the same time, Kamina is an awesome character so you don’t mind much. Simon acts like an extensions of the great Kamina, rather than his own character.
This is some nice Shonen style development, but the thing is Simon doesn’t seem to grow much alone, he grows with Kamina. They begin to learn new tricks together and fight better and better each time. The two of them go through many, many battles and work well together. Now Simon and Kamina are brothers in battle, and Simon starts to feel Kamina’s pride and, of course, manliness. They fuse the two together to make Gurren Lagann. Shortly after leaving their home with Lagann, Simon and Kamina steal a Gunman called Gurren. Now this is a mech anime like “Gundam”, so all fighting is with the Gunmen. Simon is younger and isn’t really ready to fight, but he follows Kamina’s lead when it comes to fighting. Simon is not quite as eccentric as Kamina. Kamina is a testosterone pumped anime character of pure manly gusto. The joke of this anime is that it is literally the embodiment of manliness and awesome.

Simon is a scared of what might happen, while Kamina is full gusto. In the beginning, Simon clings to Kamina like an older brother. They decide they are going to defeat the Beastmen king Lordgenome. After getting attacked by a Beastman in his Gunman and fighting him off with Lagann, Simon and his buddy Kamina leave for the surface. Our lucky hero Simon The Digger finds a small drill in the rock which turns out to be the key to a small gunmen called Lagan. The Beastmen have giant robots that are called Gunmen that they used to scare the humans underground. These Beastmen are, as you would expect, animal-like humans.
All of the human race lives underground in giant villages, because the world above has been taken over by the Beastmen. Today on the judgement table: Simon, the main character of “ Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann.” Kamina(Left) and Simon(Right)Īlright, so “Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann” follows the journey of the young boy named Simon The Digger. At the end of every character’s evaluation I will give them one of four ratings: Good for those characters that are developed and deserve their place in the story, Bad for those characters that have no place being made or interacting with anyone else in the story, What The for the characters I just can’t figure out, and then for the characters who are dull as dishwater will get the rating of Sack of Potatoes. I strongly believe well developed characters are more important than anything else in a good story, so I always judge them hard. Welcome to this week’s article of The Good, Bad, and What The?, where we took a good, long look at characters in movies, video games, anime, and books and put them on the judgement table to see if they are worthy to be in their respective stories.
