Hey everyone, I was reading in different places that people are thinking that Neinhart could possibly be Simon reborn just because Erza and Kagura are going to face him and possibly Jellal would arrive to help. I was like "Why!?!"

There are a few reasons why Neinhart should not be Simon.

1. It would totally ruin Erza's progression in TOH Arc.

2. I am certain that Altaris attack from the possessed Jellal definitely killed him.

3. Before Simon died he had only one good eye, in Neinhart's silhouette he had two good eyes.

4. He has no strength that could possibly match that of any of the Spriggan 12.

5. Unless they want to make a shot-for-shot remake of Captain America: the Winter Soldier.
