Remember, Simon didn't ask to be leader originally and yielded the position to Kittan, even though it was pretty clear Kamina hand-picked him as a successor.
Simon's a great leader, but not the best. He's a great warrior, but not the best. What he's best at is digging, and since Gurren-Lagann's abilities coincided with his skill in digging that's why he was able to accomplish so much. A quirk of fate if you will.
That's why, when everything was said and done, he tried to pass on the responsibilities thrust onto him to people who were better capable of dealing with them. If there's a need for Garlock, I'm sure Simon could come roaring back into action, but for now, he's just returned to the simple life.

Alright, here's the whole story. Thousands, perhaps millions of years in the past, humanity was exploring the stars and settling on other worlds. One such world discovered that human evolution has a causual effect on the growth of a galaxy, i.e. the black holes at the center of all galaxies. Spiral energy, and the spread of life causes this growth, and restricting this growth keeps the black holes in check. If spiral energy were to go un-restrained for a long enough time, the black holes of all the galaxies would grow large enough to engulf one another, sucking up all matter in the universe and ending it.
So, the Anti-Spirals decided to put a stop to that. They turned into Anonymous somehow (it isn't revealed how they became so much more powerful, though IMO it's because they build that special dimension, they normally wouldn't have so much power) killed off the majority of the spiral races, keeping them restricted to just a small part of the Milky Way, and watched over the remaining species like hawks. This way, life could go on but the universe would not be threatened with destruction.
Lord Genome opposed this, and rightfully so, but he could never penetrate Anti-Spiral space and was eventually worn down. Anti-Spiral (remember, the collective entity of the whole tribe) imprisoned him within a single world, where he remained as a guardian for a thousand years to keep the humans underground. Lord Genome, who had existed for so long, grew weary with the stress of living and became the cold overlord we met in fifteen.
One of the Lagann created during the wars against the Anti-Spirals found its way underground, where it was dug up by Simon a thousand years after Lord Genome's defeat. And from there, the story begins.

although i dont think the episode epic as some people are calling it. This kind of ending has actually been done to death and has become somewhat fanatical. Why did i give it a 10? because the presentation was on Par not that i agree with the whole ending it was just presented well and sometimes that all i ask.
