#01
“

Believe in yourself — not the me who believes in you, and not the you who believes in me. Believe in the you who believes in yourself!

The drill pierces the heavens.

📺 Key Episodes
EP 01Episode 8 — Kamina's DeathPart 1

Stopping at the Brother's Death

Kamina falls to a trap. Simon completely breaks. The next several episodes show him unable to pilot Lagann or hold his drill — the raw depiction of grief before the rebuild.

EP 02Episode 11 — I am SimonPart 1

Standing as Himself, Not as Kamina

He breaks out of despair and declares he'll fight as Simon — not as Kamina's little brother. From this episode the real protagonist begins to emerge.

🤔 Did You Know?
01At the series start, Simon was a boy whose only skill was digging holes in an underground village — he'd never seen the surface world.
02The production team stated the drill motif was chosen to visualize 'Spiral Power' — the will to evolve.
03By the final episode, Simon is roughly 33 years old — rare for a shonen series to show its protagonist's full arc through middle age.
04VA Tetsuya Kakihara took many roles after this, but Simon remains the performance most fans point to as his defining work.
💭Personality Deep Dive

He starts as the smallest and most frightened. Kamina's death breaks him completely — and then he rebuilds, as himself. Becoming Simon, not Kamina's little brother, is the journey the entire series traces. Spiral Power's real meaning is the strength to move forward without borrowing someone else's will.
