Slaine saved Saazbaum from Inaho, he didn't help him attempt to murder Asseylum. In case you didn't notice, he killed Saazbaum.
I guess at this point the show is just about Inaho and Slaine doing awesome things while everyone else is either openly awed and grateful or grudgingly resentful for their obvious superiority. As nice as it is that Marito seems to have gotten over stuff, why is that plotline there? It doesn't have anything to do with Inaho or Slaine, the only characters that can accomplish anything in this war.
I'm not even surprised anymore when Inaho fires a bullet with pinpoint accuracy from space to Earth.

I'm a bit worried by the fact that Iuki-nee seems to hit the bottle now. Also what the hell with that doctor giving the former alcoholic a drink just because his fears came back?
And yeah, the guy behind Slaine is the one doing all the planning and scheming, all for his beloved count.
And yeah, the guy behind Slaine is the one doing all the planning and scheming, all for his beloved count.
He knew what Saazbaum was planning and what Saazbaum had already done. In saving him, he doomed Asseylum.
Giving Marito some alcohol despite him being a recovering alcoholic was certainly....bizarre medical practice.
But yeah, Harklight is the true brains of the operation.
He wasn't aware Asseylum was in the vicinity when he saved Saazbaum. He inadvertedly enabled him to shoot Asseylum. It wasn't his intention, he made a mistake, which last I checked is something characters do sometimes.
She's still alive and taking up screen time though. If that was his goal, he failed.
He saved a guy that had sworn numerous times that he'd kill her, who then attempted to kill her.
The mental acrobatics involved with this somehow not being an outcome Slaine-chan should have foreseen....
Well yeah, this is Slaine we're talking about.
Slaine:
- Has a princess in a jar
- Has the best robot
- Is royalty
- Has a great manservant
- Has another princess after his dick becuz she jealous
- Got revenge upon his nemesis
- Is preparing to lead the glorious proletarian revolution against the Versian bourgeoisie
Inaho:
- Has no princess
- Has a training robot
- Is still an ensign
- Has no friends
- Makes fun of people who are, at worst, mildly overweight
- Was put into a coma
- Doesn't care about the political situation or making the world a better place
Pretty obvious which one is better.

The guy he saved also happened to be the one who "rescued" him from Count Cruhteo after he was tortured half to death (was Slaine even aware Cruhteo had caught on to the reason for his silence?), nursed him back to health, fed him and opened up to him. Saazbaum was kind to Slaine, hence why he made the decision to save him from Orange - someone who had declared Slaine his enemy after making allusions to using Asseylum for their own nefarious purposes.
Curious how you fail to take any of this into account.

There can only be one. #teamslaine
Yuki-nee, gotcha.
Inaho:
- Has a magic eyeball
- Gets it done in a basic mech
- Doesn't need titles to get over
- All the girls want him, especially Hime
- Carrying Earth on his back like this is DOTA and he's Crystal Maiden
- Hot nee-san
- No silly political aspirations
- Aldnoah powers
Slaine:
- Keeps the princess that friendzoned him a jar
- Needs the most advanced mech in existence to do anything
- Butler does all the thinking and planning
- Can't kill a man from point blank range or with an entire clip of bullets
- Has to climb the card so that he's even eligible for a shot at Inahomania

C'mon guys, they both suck.
We know.
If someone tried to kill my princess multiple times and swore that he'd finish the job, I wouldn't save him because he was nice to me.
Crystal Maiden is not a carry your point is invalid.
lol, this one is good.

Boring. Needs more Inaho x Slaine... Er... Inhao v Slaine.

For a moment I thought they were going to make another character use his brain (PTSD guy) but nope, Inaho again.
I'm not going to take sides between Inaho and Slaine, I can tolerate their plot armor as long as they both make sense and we don't have a travesty like the end of last season.
They still should mass produce Inaho's eye though, because apparently basic targeting computers don't exist in this world.

The Martian Kat didn't end up exploding, so how good are the odds that Count is still alive and taken captive? He seemed like a reasonable guy.
I'd say the ending isn't predictable right now. If they were painting Slaine as a villain, then I'd understand, but they're not.
I think that's exactly what happened.
I don't think they'd show him in the OP if they were going to off him the same episode he has his first lines.
You might if you grew up in an environment in which you were treated like dirt and could count the people that treated you like with a modicum of kindness on one hand, which included said person. It's also worth considering that it would be a snap decision in the heat of the moment and one of the parties involved is someone who has already prevented you from reuniting with your princess once already and, as far as you know, is merely using her, i.e. it's someone who is definitely your enemy.
Did he? I usually skip the OP once I see it once or twice.
He's near the end reading some books.
This would be fine otherwise, but using someone usually involves keeping them alive, and Inaho had done a spectacular job of that so far. Saazbaum on the other hand, openly claimed that a) he was behind the attempt to kill the princess and b) he was going to keep trying 'till she is dead.
One is playing keep away, the other one was openly plotting the murder of his beloved. I though that he would have jumped at the chance to see Saazbaum dead in circumstances that cannot be pinned on him. Hell, that is exactly what ended up happening later anyway.
S2 EP 4
On topic of the Aldnoah powered Kataphrakts, they certainly have a bunch of weird ass systems. Going by the fact that they seemed to build a second Dioscuria for Saazbaum and the fact that Dioscuria has multiple gimmicks in the first place, they should be able to make units better suited for war. That gravity field gimmick was pretty much useless and seemed inferior to the dimensional barrier in every possible way.
It was also kinda weird to see the Kataphrakt tank that much fire with no visible damage before activating his toys. S1 showed that they are vulnerable to earthling weapons. I wonder if this capture of an Aldnoah powered unit finally leads to Inaho getting his own space-magic mech.
Also, lol at Inaho reviewing the loss of a major strategic asset on his side of the war and seemingly going "oh, I guess I'll have to even the odds now that it has come to this." Really, the Earth high command are bunch of useless gits who can't get anything done. At least with the Martians, their social structure and chain of command explain their fractured way of making war.
Episode 16
Yay, we have another mech-of-the-week with a silly power! Doh, we have to see PTSD-dude again! Yay, Slaine is being BADASS again! Doh, Inaho is the one to save the day again. I can't believe the army is still completely useless after all these months. I was hoping they'll be using the episode to show that Earth has improved in their intelligence and can now take entire enemy mechs without Inaho. NOPE! Lolz.
The funniest part of the episode was when Inaho uses his eye at the end to ZOOM... ENHANCE! Aldnoah-CSI! Lolololz.

The Count from the mech that was downed in the last episode. Saaz is almost certainly dead.
He alive, no one ever dies

Episode 17
So Inahos great secret weapon is... truth. I guess that works.
Princess Inferiority complex is weaving her little plots, though it seems a bit too spontaneous. Idiot count makes a challenge he couldn't possibly win. Only Terminaho-Eye can possibly compete with Tharsis' cheat engine.

Huh? What did I say? Did I screw up again? :(
I've never been so ambivalent about who might dies in a duel as much as this! Either way, it'll be a good day

Inaho continues to be the only competent Terran soldier, now adding interrogation to his list of achievements. Even going as far as to convince them to join his side. Now if only Inaho had interrogated and convinced Slaine way back when, then this war would probably already be over. And there was some stuff about Rayet still hating Martians, and lack of weight loss tips as well.
Lem is scheming to gain her own freedom from being used. She'll probably expose the ruse in the near future. Slaine and Eddel possibly spending an unhealthy amount of time talking to a tube. I like how the Count has so generously given Slaine his own Landing Castle, as well as donated his own Kat to Harklight.

I hope Inaho gets exposed and court martialed, after which he is blindfolded and executed by firing squad for being a traitor. Yessss. The ending I always hoped for! While that's happening, Slaine can be busy wrecking the this lameass challenger in the duel. ALL HAIL SLAINE! DEATH TO INAHO!

Nice episode. Mazuurek is a cool dude like I predicted. Seems like blue haired Knight might side with Slaine down the line as well.
Slaine is going to...slay that challenger. Princess #2 is scheming something of her own.
