== The Opening Sequence of Episode 1 is the [[Bad Ending]] for the series. ==
The introductory sequence of episode 1 prior to the title card, featuring Captain Garlock about to take on all the heavenly lights in the sky, is the bad ending for the series, wherein Simon, instead of listening to the pleas of the Anti-Spiral, goes on to continue his space travels and becomes the Spiral Nemesis. The last shot of the scene before the series title and episode title is the last moments in the universe before Simon destroys everywhere and everywhen in Space-time with Chouginga Gurren Lagann and its Maelstrom Cannon.
* [http://www.animenewsnetwork.comcc//interview/2008-07-28/gainax-on-gurren-lagann This interview] says that the opening was originally supposed to foreshadow the ending. Along the way, it was [[Retcon]]'d into an [[Alternate Universe]] where Simon does become the Spiral Nemesis.
* The obvious trigger of his action is {{spoiler|[[Love Makes You Crazy|Nia's death]]}}. How can he give up his power and authority now—now that only he can set things right! Even if it means amassing enough mass and energy to risk the gravitational collapse of the universe. Even if it means leading the Dai-Gurren-Dan into war with every living being. [[Well-Intentioned Extremist|NOTHING is impossible to the truly audacious!]]
