Simon the Digger

From timid digger in Giha Village to the man who drills through multiverse‑level threats.

Character overview

Simon starts as a shy, insecure boy who only believes in Kamina, his older “brother” figure. Despite his fear, Simon’s persistence with his drill leads to their discovery of Lagann and the path to the surface.

Over time, Simon becomes a symbol of Spiral power, leading Team Dai‑Gurren and ultimately the entire universe against the Anti‑Spiral threat. His growth is central to the emotional core of the series.

Character evolution

Simon’s journey is divided into stages: the underground era, the war against the Beastmen, the fight against the Spiral King, and the cosmic battle against the Anti‑Spiral. In each stage, he faces loss, doubt, and responsibility, gradually stepping into his own identity.

The moment he overcomes Kamina’s death and reclaims the Gurren Lagann as his own is a major turning point, proving that his strength comes from within rather than simply copying his mentor.
