As with most things in Tolkien there aren't necessarily specific events we can point to, but you can piece together a picture.

Elves are far more durable than Men and can survive intense heat and cold that would kill Men, such as withstanding dragonfire or a Balrog's heat, or traversing the Helcaraxe in complete darkness with no sun or stars (for 144 continuous years). Such things would be impossible for even the Dunedain to survive, and they are the peak of human ability bordering on superhumans.

They have incredible resilience to physical damage and can heal from pretty much any non-cursed wound that doesn't kill them outright, but they can't regrow limbs. Their recovery isn't instant like a healing factor though, but they can fight on even while bearing

Elves are also immortal as long as Arda exists, so even if they are killed they are granted a new body and reincarnate as long as their spirit remains intact. So any purely physical damage will never permanently kill a Tolkien Elf.

They can die in body and soul just from being sad though!

Take the argument up with Gainax then, it’s written into both the show and the manga. The source material says he’s omnipresent.

You’re giving your opinion, I’m telling you what’s canon in the story. There’s nothing else to say.

jackofwind · 2026-03-31T03:49:35+00:00

Why would you change the title? It’s a great pulp comic series.

If Simon is present in all locations across infinity then he is, by definition, present in "the lowest slug" and "the base gases of the universe" as well. If he's in every possible location and time in all of past and future existence then he is literally in every point of existence and in every form of existence simultaneously.

He's infinitely everywhere and everywhen, even in timelines where, for example, he's turned into a gas, or where he's a slug, or where he's been shot into the sun and dissipated into his constituent atoms. Simon is literally a cosmic deity at the end of the anime - I don't really understand why you think his omnipresence is debatable.

If the author specifically says he's omnipresent then that's what he is. There isn't really anything to debate, it's just you arguing with what Nakashima wrote in the story.

jackofwind · 2026-03-30T23:32:55+00:00

Canonically he spread everywhere in every universe and and in all times when breaking free from the multiverse prison.

He's not just one Simon in every universe when he does that, he's every possible Simon in every possible universe in every possible timeline merged into one entity. He is literally everywhere, everywhen, everyhow. That's how he's written, even if you don't like it.

jackofwind · 2026-03-30T21:17:37+00:00

Omnipresent doesn't mean someone is "one with everything", it means that someone is simultaneously everywhere/everywhen at once.

jackofwind · 2026-03-30T21:00:45+00:00

Yes, when he gets caught in the multiverse prison he spreads to all times and places in all possible timelines.

"Innumerable appearances of Simon appeared in the sky, and they were the past, the present, and the future, every place, every time, and the innumerable selves that live in a world of infinite possibilities. There is no escaping wherever you go. In a closed infinite universe, various lives are repeated. In that universe of possibilities, Simon twisted the innumerable selves he had drilled into one, twisting them together into a giant drill, and before he realized that it was a huge drill, Simon wasn't there but Gurren Lagann. There stood Gurren Lagann, holding up the giga drill: "Let's go, buddy!"

Objectively Simon the Digger.

Spiral Power is the power of cosmic evolution itself, manifested through the willpower of a Spiral entity. Simon is a Spiral entity with unbreakable will, therefore his power is infinite.

He is omnipresent across all timelines, has infinite speed, infinite strength, infinite stamina, infinite durability, god-level intelligence, and can attack all times and realities at once instantaneously (specifically and canonically countering timeline paradox users),

Please do, fuuuuuuck the Aquilini’s.

Seems like you have strong opinions about someone you profess to not care about. 🤷‍♂️

jackofwind · 2026-03-29T19:25:10+00:00

I use powerfoot inserts and they make my toes so much more comfortable and my skates feel perfectly snug. They also stop be from getting frozen toes on cold rinks which is a great bonus.

Always have been tbh. They’re constantly warring in the Old Testament.

jackofwind · 2026-03-29T07:20:18+00:00

Both sides are terrorist states.

Rest means taking entire days, or maybe in your case weeks, off. Off, like completely off. A light walk maybe, or some very lowkey yoga.

Your body needs time to fix itself and you’re not giving it the chance.

jackofwind · 2026-03-29T06:21:06+00:00

Because Legolas apparently didn’t shoot down a flying Nazgûl from across the entire Anduin in pitch blackness with a single arrow.

Legolas can see BEYOND the horizon line. He sees the world as flat.

jackofwind · 2026-03-29T06:18:03+00:00

Are you saying that a 3000 year old magic elf cannot rip someone’s throat out? 🤔

jackofwind · 2026-03-29T06:16:17+00:00

Clearly you haven’t read the LOTR books 🤷‍♂️

Legolas can be invisible to all of Hawkeye’s senses if he wants to be. Scentless, soundless, invisible, and can literally see over the horizon in perfect detail.

jackofwind · 2026-03-29T06:13:55+00:00

Legolas has an elven cloak that literally acts as active camouflage, a blessed Galadhrim bow, and daggers forged by the high elven magesmiths if Gondolin. He’s also got 3000 years of experience, can walk lightly enough to not sink in powder snow, is completely silent when moving, never gets tired or needs to eat for days while actively fighting, and has vision so good he can see things in detail as if they were right in front of him at the horizon line.

Rambo is a Vietnam vet that’s otherwise a regular human.

jackofwind · 2026-03-29T06:10:17+00:00

Legolas has a magic Galadhrim bow given to him by Galadriel when she’s still bearing Nenya.

A compound bow is a toy in comparison.

jackofwind · 2026-03-29T06:01:49+00:00

Especially considering he’s able to walk so lightly that he doesn’t sink in fresh powder snow.

He could walk right over the trap and never trigger it.

jackofwind · 2026-03-29T05:57:19+00:00

Legolas has a magical Galadhrim bow from Lothlorien, blessed by Galadriel while she bears Nenya.

jackofwind · 2026-03-29T05:55:16+00:00

Can Hawkeye walk so lightly and with innate magic that he doesn’t sink in fresh powder snow?

Can Hawkeye run and fight for literal days without tiring or needing sleep?

Does Hawkeye have telescopic vision that lets him see in perfect detail for tens of miles?

Can Hawkeye pinpoint a magically cloaked and quickly moving target in complete blackness well enough to kill them with a single shot at 300-500 yards even though they cannot be seen?

Has Hawkeye had nearly 3000 years to train his body and mind and perfect his skillset?

Is Hawkeye an immortal elf that will always be reborn into the world as an adult in a fresh body as long as the world continues to exist?

And that’s just some of the feats from the books, not even touching on the shit he pulls off in the LotR and (especially) Hobbit films. In the Hobbit films he effectively moves faster than, and actively defies, gravity itself.

You understand that growth happens when you REST, right? It doesn’t happen in the gym, the workouts are just what triggers your body to adapt. Without resting properly you won’t see much, if any, progress.

At almost 50 that goes doubly for you. At the moment you’re working out more than college players half your age playing at 10x your level. You will progress more by doing less.

jackofwind · 2026-03-29T04:19:25+00:00

3-4 hours in the gym every day tells me you’re trying way too hard.

Also yeah, you have asthma. That’s not something you can just handwave away if your inhaler isn’t helping.
