Mah boi!
Should we move Viral to the Antagonists section? The rest of the page treats his Heel–Face Turn as a spoiler, and Lord Genome is in that section, and it's not like he stays evil through the entire series.
I wonder what's for dinner?
...okay, am I the only one who thinks that Simon's page quote, coming from the last episode and acting as the culmination of the entire series and all the character development contained therein as it does, is just a little bit out of place? Power of the moment aside... actually, no, that just may enter into it. It's a huge, radical moment from the series finale, and I think there's probably a better quote for him.

I agree; I favor changing his quote to something like the speech he gave when he snapped out of his Heroic BSoD (Something like "I'm not my brother... I'm me! Simon the Digger!"). It just seems like a more appropriate quote for him, since it basically defines him as a character (the whole "I just dig holes, it's up to everyone else to follow me" theme). I think this was actually his old quote before it got changed. At least, I remember "I'm Simon the Digger!" being an old quote.

Simon is stunted in growth? For a highlander i think you mean. Even Kamina in episode 26, at 18:32 notes that Simon is taller than him.
But the troper that put that info there mentioned it was word of god...i have my doubts, i'll google for more facts.
How the fuu- did i get here? 'the hell was you thinking Google? Hide / Show Replies
I'm guessing they probably meant delayed rather than permanently stunted growth. The point is that his childhood shortness was the result of poor living conditions instead of him just being that way.

Simon’s Alignment I have problem with calling him Chaotic Good, for me he was more Neutral Good. Main difference between him and Kamina is that Kamina believed that by breaking old/bad rules good will be archived. Simon indeed breaks rules if this is for good, but he is also capable of considering them. He accepted his own arrest and still believed in Rossiu and his Lawful Neutral plan, because Rossiu still was aiming for good of others. Also, during final battle with Anti-Spiral, Simon indeed was against Big Bad's Lawful Evil plan. But he knew that he got a point about Spiral Nemezis, and he also was willing to prevent this to happen, just with less extreme methods. And finally, he refused to use Spiral Power to bring back Nia. Everybody was telling him that he fully earned this, and he did, but he knew that no one should ever cross that line, even if with good intentions.
There's a quote under Simon that leaves Kamina's death uncensored. Should we leave it that way, or censor it?
I stopped listening after you said "We need a plan."
