oh yeah, rossiu is such a douchebag right now.
because the pissy people of kamina city have gotten used to their comfy lifestyle and with this collateral damage and moon falling in three weeks bullshit, they want to riot. And guess what? rossiu needs a scapegoat to cool everone out and calm them down while he thinks of something (like shove everyone in the city back underground and launch the rest into space? yeah real smart.), and that would be poor commander in chief, simon. after rossiu determined that it was simon's fault that the moon was falling because of the defeat at the hands of the spiral/helix king 7 years ago, he decided that he must be tried for his crimes and would be executed just like spiral king soon after. after nia appeared again and so did the mugan in "huge clusterfuck MODE", simon swayed rossiu's hand to let him pilot gurren lagann one more time, but only on one condition:
if he tries to escape, gurren (which was wired with explosives to kittan's little sister, kinon, who actually volunteered for the love of that shiny-headed bastard rossiu) would explode on impact, taking his passenger with him if he tried to escape of play hero by sacrificing himself.
after taking of the cluster of mugan, simon was wiped out from generating so many drills on gurren lagann. then gimmy and darry came in with the grapel squad to intercept the mothership mugan with new toys designed by leeron to neutralize the threat of exploding mugan particles.
afterwards, kittan got wind of this bomb deal and went off to slug rossiu, but was intercepted with a slap from kinon herself, who admitted she volunteered to be the bomb-hoe. damn that bitch is stupid for rossiu.
and it seems our boy simon has to sit and rot in prison until the day of his execution, with none other than everbody's favorite beastman, viral.
episode 20 had better be full of GAR, or i'm gonna be pissed.
