* AudienceAlienatingEnding: The series remains a beloved anime classic, but the conclusion is actually disliked by a fair amount of the fandom. In it, [[spoiler:the Anti-Spiral is defeated and humanity is saved, but Nia dies at her and Simon's ''wedding'', leaving him to become a hobo WalkingTheEarth all alone. Yoko also loses her other LoveInterest Kittan, and while Viral is allowed to live on as a successful military leader, but with the knowledge that he will outlive everyone he cares about (especially with the revelation that what he wants most is to marry and have children, the latter of which is outright impossible). On top of everything, the world-destroying [[NegativeSpaceWedgie Spiral Nemesis]] that the Anti-Spirals were trying to stop is still a threat to humanity.]] The general consensus among detractors is that the ending goes against the spirit of such an optimistic series where HotBlooded determination can literally defy the laws of the universe; Simon accepting [[spoiler:Nia's death]], while intended to showcase his [[CharacterDevelopment newfound maturity]], contradicts his {{determinator}} attitude; and overall that the finale comes off as an EsotericHappyEnding where the main characters save the world only to lose everything in the process. Likely in response to this, ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsX'' alters the ending so that [[spoiler:Nia can live a happy life with Simon]].

** Simon. While early series Simon is trying to find his footing and hence is not as some as Kamina, late in the series, [[spoiler:he surpasses his "Aniki" in spades and Kamina himself acknowledges it (if posthumously)]]. Or at least that's what the series ''wants'' to say happened. Many viewers feel that Simon never really earns his "badass" status, or that he copies Kamina a bit too much while trying to attain it, so he tends to be viewed in a lesser light than his "bro".00
