As it's been pointed out to me, Slaine's ability to power his mech might be related to Asseylum performing CPR on him and somehow imparting a fraction of Aldnoah space magic in him. By the same logic, it's possible Inaho received the same power from Asseylum.

Space magic will save both Asseylum and Inaho.

A kiss that transfers Aldnoah power? I like the theory :p
 
lol

So I guess Slaine takes the Princess body, then maybe revives her using Aldnoah technology since he can activates them just fine for some reason.
What a creep.

#FUCKSLAINE

She will have memory problems and Slaine lies to her about everything. They live a quiet life somewhere then small things start to trigger her memory back. She then remembers she loves Inaho and that shes a princess with space magic and then turns a gun on Slaine.

So help me if Slaine becomes ultra possessive of Asseylum in season 2. Of all the cliches to avoid, that one is the biggest one.

Thats pretty much the only route left for him. A crazy, ultra possessive, jealous psychopath. He went full yandere.

He didn't go yandere at all though, or crazy, and jealousy is a strong possibility but just that at the minute. Y'all forgetting Asseylum didn't even know he was there. When she eventually wakes up, I'm guessing she'll be with Slaine at his father's, who is hiding them both. She'll have a lot of questions obvious and might want to get back to stopping the war, but Slaine might prevent her from doing so. I don't think he has it in him to forcibly do anything she doesn't like though. He's pretty much her loyal servant.

Something like murdering Inaho?

You mean killing the guy that betrayed him, left him for dead, caused him to get tortured, was partially responsible (as far as Slaine is concerned) for endangering Asseylum and then pulled a gun on Slaine when he was told to stop?

I don't think Asseylum's relationship would have progressed enough for her to choose Inaho, someone she barely knows, over Slaine, who she has known for years.

Sweet, can't wait for Inaho to get revenge and kill Slaine!

I seriously don't get why anyone would think Slaine wasn't justified in his his payback.

Even though that's what Urobuchi said he had outlined?

All of those things you pointed out are from Slaine's perspective. There's nothing to suggest that Asseylum would see it as anything other than murdering the guy who was responsible for keeping her and the Terrans alive.

He outlined they would fall in love in a draft, which as far as we know, is only one sided from Inaho to Asseylum. I'm not saying Asseylum absolutely won't fall in love or hasn't already, but I think it's not as clear as some might think, and even if she, it would be pretty out of character for her to not hear Slaine's side of the story.

I think the diet of Mars rocks rotted Slain's brain. It's the only explanation.

Most of the Martians were also idiots so it's the only explanation. Red sand is bad for you.
 
Just going ask this since I watched the last episode last night.

Was I not the only one who had a what the fuck moment after watching Inaho get killed by Slaine? Because I really don't want to see Slaine as the main protag in season 2.

Also I apologize for not reading anyone's reactions previous to this post as I'm at work and just skimmed to this right away -_-

I don't think people are being particularly fair with their outrage over Slaine and I find that disappointing.

Yeah, he shouldn't have saved Saazbaum, but if all characters operated on flawless, pragmatic logic then they would all be as boring as Inaho.

And don't get me started on Slaine shooting Inaho. That was more than justified from his perspective.

nah pretty sure 99% of everyone had a wtf moment. Eariler today there was atleast 8-9 topics on the front page of /r/anime.

I'm down with this. Only fitting ending is if Slaine dies by being choked by his lucky pendant.

I seriously don't get why anyone would think Slaine wasn't justified in his his payback.

Because he saw Inaho fighting Saazbaum, and then watched Seylum tend to Inaho while he was injured in his Kat. Despite them hating each other, Slaine saw that Inaho wasnt a threat to Seylum. He shot him out of jealousy. There was no need to point a gun at Inaho while he was injured and crawling towards Seylum anyways.

All that matters to Seylum, if shes alive, is that Inaho was the dude that saved her multiple times as well as one of the few that were capable of defending the terrans. And Slaine murdered him.

IIRC, Slaine also fired first during their first meet up, when he wouldnt answer Inahos question. So, #FUCKSLAINE

Haha, apparently Urobuchi was on a radio program on Nico, and he officially confirmed that he is not to blame for the way the Aldnoah season ended. He said it wasn't his doing, and that he was tired of being blamed by everyone whenever anyone dies. He's looking forward to being blame for any sort of death in Psycho-Pass 2 too, even thought he's not writing that at all.

SEE! I TOLD YOU GUYS! :p

Is Urobuchi going to be involved in any way with S2? I remember he wrote the first 3 episodes of S1, so wondering if he will write any from S2.

Don't trust the mars tap water chicken.
Food is one of the core proofs that the martians are idiots. The show says they are sick of eating red sand all the time and have to make do with aid sent from Earth (for which they are not grateful) so become jealous and want Earth for themselves.

So what do they do? They blow up half the planet and ruin most of the landscape. Good luck having proper chicken now that you've killed off all the farmer and chicken population.

A lot of people have already made very good attempts at explaining Slaine's actions and his frame of mind when he helped Saazbaum, but whatever, let's just agree that was a mistake, and from all indications, Slaine is well aware he made a mistake and the guilt is killing him. Characters are allowed to make mistakes, it humanises them, it doesn't make them terrible.

There was undoubtedly an element of jealousy when Slaine shot Inaho, obviously, but how was that not understandable? Here you have this guy killing himself to get to the girl he loves, making enemies of both side along the way, going through the hell to get to her, and when he finally does, before she can even notice he's there, she's murdered in cold blood. Someone is going to have to pay, and of course Saazbaum gets shot a number of times, and then there is Orange, his known enemy, the one that prevented him from uniting with Asseylum in the first place, and he's trying to get to her, so what does he do?

Inaho might not have been a threat to Asseylum, but neither was Slaine at the time Inaho shot him down so while I'm not sure if Slaine had already made his mind up to kill Inaho when he was crawling to her, he did give him a fair warning, and the last time he gave Inaho a warning, Inaho beat him to the punch and left him for dead, so this time around, Slaine wasn't going to hesitate shooting someone he knew to be his enemy and who he deemed partly responsible for Asseylum's apparent death. Had Inaho not pulled a gun on Slaine, things might have gone differently.

I just think it's funny in a tragic sense that seemingly everyone couple empathise with Slaine throughout the show when he was getting hammered every episode, but the one time he does something, when he is at his lowest point, you unleash this level of vitriol on him.

Is Urobuchi going to be involved in any way with S2? I remember he wrote the first 3 episodes of S1, so wondering if he will write any from S2.

I hope not if that means Inaho x Asselyum. I'm seriously still holding out for Slaine x Asseylum, as unlikely as that is. I don't even care if the dude dies in the end.

You believed his lies. There is no hope.
 
End was glorious, there's three things to watch Aldnoah Zero for: Music, Saazbaum, and Slaine. Everything else is irrelevant.

This is like the best ending that could've came out of this show after all the mishaps it had over the course of 12 episodes. Dead people better stay dead.

Very glad Slaine got the last 'win' at the end. #TeamSlaine

Edit: No really, since this is anime, I can't stress enough that dead people should stay dead. If any of the three shows back up in the second half my forehead is going to have a permanent imprint of my palm atop it.

Better start looking for foundation to apply to your forehead for Asseylum's likely inevitable revival, then. Inaho, I'm not so sure about.

Get ready for more Aldnoah magic up the wazoo, Inaho with an scar over his eye which may or may not be covered with an eye patch, and a clone of Asseylum. Calling it right now.

If Inaho comes back.... I'll put him back in the grave myself....
Hime sama can pass.

But he was the only truly entertaning part of the show. Him and music. What's the point of watching it without Inaho? Even TeamSlaine isn't really pro-Slaine, they're just anti-Inaho. Without him nobody has any reason to watch this thing.

I liked Inaho actually but he's done. The character ran out of its usefulness. The best thing he can do for the story is to die or stay dead. I'm more interested in deconstruction of peachy idealist princess in the next half, after getting hit by all of this. What Inaho can do more? Shoot down more robots? I think it's about time other characters do that instead. Slaine vs Seylum is more interesting than any silly triangles, Inaho fighting to get the girl back and similar tropes. I hope they take that direction but not holding my breath...

Maybe a different Inaho can be interesting too, one that's not purely logical, or better, completely illogical.
