* WorfHadTheFlu: He outright admits that a thousand years of boredom and idleness had weakened his spirit and by extension his Spiral Power and he devoted the rest of his Spiral Power towards creating and maintaining his Beastmen army over the centuries. In his heyday, Lordgenome could take down his entire Spiral Fleet himself, meaning Simon managed to barely defeat him when was at his worst.

* NotSoWellIntentionedExtremist: The trope is [[ZigZaggingTrope zigzagged]] .[[spoiler:All the races the Anti-Spiral has destroyed or crippled is to ensure they never evolve far enough to trigger the Spiral Nemesis from coming into being -- thus averting universal destruction and prolonging the universe's existence indefinitely. However, that method is to doom all sentient life into a state of despair while the Anti-Spiral is the one remaining alive and in control. Even if the Anti-Spiral is insane about the Spiral Nemesis or just pointlessly paranoid, he's sincere enough about his convictions in the end. Although, his final words to Team Dai-Gurren are to accept his own destruction and urge them to protect the universe in his stead.]]

* AbusiveParent: Just from his treatment of Nia and implications that he let all of his other daughters die on a whim. Outright confirmed in the anime when a whole graveyard of similar capsules is found by Team Gurren. [[spoiler:If not for the presence of the Anti-Spiral, his trying to kill Nia could be considered a MoralEventHorizon if he hadn't crossed that already with all the other children he's had killed.]]

* OffingTheOffspring: He callously abandons his daughter Nia to die in a metal container ejected from his palace. The graveyard of similar capsules implies he'd done so with frightening regularity.
