Theoretically there is the 'win' scenario which is backtracking to before the Exodus begins and making sure you stock up enough medical supplies. More than enough, even.

But that moment's gone and you have to work with what you got.

The last few pages suddenly reminded of reading the discussions around The Cold Equations.

Goku was never portrayed as some paragon of virtue that people should seek to emulate, though. He's friendly and good-natured, but that's explicitly shown to be not the same as having a strong moral centre, and the manga does note some of his actions are bad/wrong/reckless.

Except when he hit rossiu and forced a Kamina speech down his throat you mean.

Yeah, why can't a man be left to commit suicide in peace

On a more serious note you're kinda picking isolated incidents out of context instead of looking at the entirety of a person's character and motivations. I really don't think that's good for discussion.

I was forced to sympathize with him because after what happened to Simon, there were no characters left to sympathize with.

You seem to be sympathising with Rossiu because of qualities he lacks, not because of any qualities he actually possesses. That seem like a backwards way of going about things.

As opposed to... Rossiu? The guy who deliberately threw Simon under the bus as a scapegoat?

But they just wrap what might be good intentions in terrible methods. Team Gurren honestly is no less morally questionable than the Exodus is.

Clawshrimpy, I believe everyone in this thread is well aware by now that you don't think highly of the TTGL main crew. You don't need to repeat that. They are asking for specific examples why.
