They'd be much more likely to have faith in Simon than blame him. He overcame seemingly impossible odds once; why shouldn't he be able to do it again? It also goes nicely with the show's theme of human kind never giving up and always hanging on no matter how small that shred of hope is. |
Well, for one thing, most tribes didn't really know they were being oppresed, they didn't even know there was a surface.
Just the ones that happened to reach the surface which is less than half the population.
Most of them didn't even partake in the struggle between beastmen and Human.
The people who did join the struggle, The Dai-gurren brigade still had complete faith on Simon.
The other people were just told that there is a surface and was made to believe that it's better than the underground.
Then suddenly, they were told they were going to die because they went to the surface.
Add to that that some were forced up to the surface and the beastmen (who had a perfectly good life before Simon came) was also in the riot.
Of course they would blame Simon, because to them, Simon was the one who forced them up and they were going to die for it.
Also the theme only applies to the Dai Gurren brigade, not humanity itself.
Humanty was suppose to take them as role models or as guides.
