Maybe, but it isn't zero. As far as I'm concerned, that makes it the same as a 100% chance.
It's still a while before Simon sez the quotable above, but we're one tankou closer with Level Comics's premiere of buxom babes, beastmen, and giant mechs
Gurren Lagann.

Published in Indonesia as Gurren Lagann by Elex Media/Level Comics
Simon the Digger and the Giha villagers only know an underground cavern as their world and believe that one day, they will all perish in a landslide triggered by an earthquake. Into this hope-deprived hole bursts Kamina who coaxes Simon to break through to a surface world beyond their dreams.
And before Simon knows it, the “sky” above literally crashes on his and Kamina's heads, bringing with it a monster that only a glowing drill-bit and the man-sized mech it activates
can overcome. [Additions from Bandai Entertainment's Gurren Lagann Manga Volume 1 summary]
Of course, you already know that the Gurren Lagann manga is based on the award-winning Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann anime by GAINAX. I think you can even find Gurren Lagann under the proverbial rock, because that's just how (early) Simon works, LOL.
