Following the tower's destruction, he and Sasha decide to overthrow King Andrias to take over Newtopia and rule over Amphibia.

## His Good Rankings

### Debated Valditions

* It is implied that he feels regret over teasing his older sister Beatrix when they were tadpoles as he nervously said that in "Barrel's Warhammer". However, in "Grime's Pupil", he playfully taunted Beatrix for losing against Sprig.
* It is debatable whether he passes the Admirable Standard or not. While the Calamity Trio did saved Amphibia from being destroyed by the Core, Grime has fewer resources as the trio had the Calamity powers while Grime had nothing but Barrel's Warhammer as a weapon. Despite this, he saved Sasha from falling off the tower, sacrificed himself to protect Sasha from Darcy and encouraged her to defeat it, making him indirectly responsible for her freeing Marcy Wu from the Core's influence.

### What makes him close to being pure good?

* Though he used to be abusive and controlling towards his soldiers, he later treats them nicely after Sasha convinced him to do so.
* Initially, he used to look down on Sasha and disliked her for lying to him. However, he immediately took a liking to her and became her close friend after she help him defeat the Herons. Throughout the series, their friendship became stronger as Grime decides to redeem himself like she does. Before she went back to Earth along with her friends, they admitted that they'll gonna miss each other, showing how much they never forget each other.
* Though he seems to manipulate Sasha to join the Toad Army, it is shown that he cares for her as he saved her from falling from the tower and only angrily glared at Anne for this.
* When he and Sasha were being chased by Yunan, he tried to convince her to run away and leave him behind out of concern for her own safety, but she refused and remained to stay by his side out of fear of losing him just like she lost Anne (just like how he points out).
* Seeing how Percy and Braddock are hurt because of her selfishness, he convinced Sasha to let them go as they have their limits.
* Help Sasha and her friends recharge their gems.
* Though he finally achieved their goal of taking over Newtopia and overthrowing King Andrias to rule over Amphibia together with Sasha, he later changed his mind after they discover King Andrias' true intentions. They try to warn Anne and the others about it, but they have no choice but to fought them after they understandably refused to listen to them. After King Andrias reveal his true nature, he later teamed up with Anne and the others to fight against him.
* He and Sasha are horrified of seeing Marcy getting stabbed by King Andrias despite her selfishly sending herself and her friends to Amphibia in the first place.
* Though he was confusingly shocked after Sasha refused to leave Wartwood with him because she's sick and tired of manipulating and hurting others for her own benefits, he allows her to make her own choice of going inside the Plantars' house to face her own consequences or attending Beatrix's meeting with him if she changed her mind.
* Instead of considered joining with Beatrix and her forces, he returns to Wartwood to help Sasha fought against Frobots. He admits that Beatrix may have a lot of things, he still has her by his side.
* He and Sasha formed the Wartwood Resistance to fight against Andrias and his army while Anne and the Plantars are still on Earth.
* Was understandably against the idea of giving Anne the commander position because he knows how terrible her leadership is as she hasn't led an army before and has no idea how Amphibia has changed.
* When he lets go of his grudge against the young frog, he agrees to help Sprig Plantar train to fight against Beatrix on a cage match and defeat her.
* He and the other Resistance begrudgingly agreed to look after Domino 2's offsprings.
* Assisted Anne and the others in infiltrating the Newtopia castle.
* Help Anne and Sasha fought against Olivia and Yunan and freeing them from being brainwashed by mind-controlling collars by playing a rad music on Sasha's phone.
* While fighting Darcy, he sacrificed himself to save Sasha from being attacked by it, which costs his arm as result. He later encouraged her to defeat Darcy, which he became indirectly responsible of her managed to defeat it by freeing Marcy from the Core's influence.
* Though he initially became suspicious of Andrias over what he's planning to do, he later changed his mind after surprised of seeing him helping them fought against the Core.
* After Anne destroyed the Core, he and the others tearfully mourned her death and later joins them in a group hug after she was revived later on, showing how much he respects Anne throughout their time during the war and decide to let go of his grudge against her.
* While tearfully saying goodbye to Sasha, he admits that he's gonna miss her so much and agreed to find Percy and Braddock to tell them she's gonna miss them so much.
* Became a delegate for the toads of the new government of Amphibia, restoring his home and making it a better place.

### What prevents him from being pure good?

* Despite redeeming himself and subverting most of his corrupting qualities, he still acted arrogant and jerkish towards others, as he still wanted to go on solo and refused to let Sasha help him, threatened to kill Sprig if he dared to call him Grimothy again and playfully taunted Beatrix for losing against Sprig.

## Trivia

* He was initially an IA due to being assumed he's an anti-hero who doesn't show remorse over his actions. However, he was later re-evaluated that he doesn't need to show remorse in order to redeem himself due to wanting to do a good thing in his life, so he was later approved as NPG.
	+ However, he could become pure good in "Return to Amphibia" if he subverts all of his corrupting factors by then.
