Mazuurek having an important role is nice and could be the conduit to finally provide the Inaho Slaine as duel conquerors and emperors of a united Vers and Earth force for peace.
I think its highly unlikely Slaine would lose though with the other guy there and the princess acting on her own accord I wouldnt put it past anyone that there could be some sabotage that could occur. I also doubt the guy could fight on Inaho's level the only character that would be an equal match for Slaine.

Yeah, I think other guy wins in a landslide with fake princess' help. After that he gravely injures Slaine and uses fake princess even worse.
It's about time they introduces an earth friendly martian that isn't the princess or a traitor. If Slaine wins then it has to be Setsuna F. Seiei level ass pull. His time in Vers empire gave him the ability to unlock new powers or something.
That martian diet has to suck.
*EDIT*
I'm a part of team slaine because he's on the martian side consistently saying fuck their couch. He's in their house, eating their food, piloting their Kataphrakt, and huddled up with their princesses while they swear allegiance. *Dan Lebatard voice* Inaho pines for one princess but Slaine has them all... DISCOUNTED! He's got them so mad that one of their senior members challenged him to a duel. Slaine is the best heel we've seen in years. We need more Slaine wrecking shit.
Slaine can't keep tabs on one crippled princess. Meanwhile, Terminaho has got Rayet and Inko wrapped around his finger. GG.
Why he's bothering with a duel when pretty much no one would mind if he just shot Slaine... I don't know. Pride I guess. Hopefully when Slaine inevitably wins, he'll put his foot down on fake princess.
That would be fantastic.

It's quite a bar too, considering how stupid pretty much everyone is on this show!
Yup. Slaine seems to actually have Aldnoah powers akin to precog. He is easily the most dangerous fighter in space.
The dumbest thing about this is, Slaine isn't even keeping the Tharsis' powers secret. Everyone on the Martian side knows how powerful it is. In fact, just last week, he gained the "respect" of everyone in the operation by going on that solo mission alone. So of all things, why would someone want to challenge him to a duel... in a mech no less. Unless he already has some underhanded scheme planned with the fake princess...
Given how cartoonishly stupid the Martians have been in ever combat situation they've been in from the very start of the show, I wouldn't put it past Count Marylcian to think he can beat Slaine simply by virtue of his perceived superior birth.
That being said, a nefarious scheme to beat Slaine dishonestly seems very likely given his exploits.
Are we not under the impression that fake-seylum loves Slaine? If so, her plan would probably be to show that she's useful by helping get rid of his enemies. It would be nice if it was the other way round and she had some dastardly plot to get rid of him. What she could possibly hope to gain from doing so...I don't know.

Soon to be god emperor count slane sazubauum troyard the first is gonna rekt that fools shit so hard they'll still be talking about it at the end of the series. ALL HAIL SLANE.
Inaho dies because of his fat shaming of Inko. What a poignant and educational end that would be.
When was this implied? She kissed him yes, but then she told Princess Fishtank that she's going to take everything that dear to Fishtank away from her. She seems to be using everyone.
I doubt the Princess Wheelchair and Count Douchebag are planning on something so he wins. What does Princess Wheelchair have to gain by having Count Douchebag be her personal escort? The moment her cover is blown, Count Douchebag won't give a shit about her.
Glad Count NiceGuy didn't die and is now a double agent. Wish the show didn't keep trying to make me care about Rayet because it's not working. You can have her go from 0 emotion to emotional breakdown in the course of a 30 second conversation, just feels weird. Surprised Inaho hasn't told her he really doesn't care at this point.
She could plan to make Slaine realise how much he needs her by buffing Count Marylcian temporarily in some fashion.
That's what I'm assuming.
It seemed to me like she hates her sister because Slaine is still obsessed and because she has to pretend to be her to have any importance. I guess it could be that she doesn't care about Slaine at all, but I felt it was more that she wanted to somehow win Slaine over.
I think she's definitely playing the innocent princess card with the other Count in order to trap him. I think she wants to prove herself useful to Slaine beyond her ability to make the occasional speech.

Too much Slame love going on here. Inagod is where its at!
I hope Slame gets rekt in the duel and has to escape with the real princess in shame and desperation. Then the turncoat Count will offer sanctuary but its a trap by Inaho! Inagod will be the Mario to Slame's Bowser. Getting back his princess and destroying all those goomba and koopa trooper Counts.

There's a theory that the show is called Aldnoah Zero because it will have sequel taking place many years later with Slaine as the main villain and Inaho's son/nephew as the protagonist.
Dunno if I'd dig that. Slaine isn't a villain now, he's merely doing his own thing for the greater good, not his personal gain. The only way I could imagine him becoming a villain is if Asseylum died. She is literally the only thing he cares about, so if she were to die, I could easily imagine him doubling down and using far darker methods to achieve his goals.

It seems more obvious that the show is called Aldnoah Zero because at the very end, what will turn the entire conflict on its head is the actual nature of the Aldnoah relics. Aldnoah Zero is the original source of all the Martian technology they discovered when they first explored Mars.
Then I imagine more will come to light in regards to Slaine's father. In fact, I expect to Inaho to do some digging and discover classified files regarding Dr Troyard and his missing son. It'd really interesting to see if Slaine has any relatives left on earth.

Inaho is everything you silly duckling.don't think they will ever go to Mars at this point, moon base is probably the final level
Inaho is actually a programmer too ahahahhaha, it suits him I guess.
The taste in this thread is getting worse by the day.
By the end of this series we'll probably have people actually liking the show!
HURR DURRR MARTIANS ARE THE WORST!!!
Perish the thought.

If aldnoah zero is a gundamalike then Aldanoah zero is no doubt the final name of the mecha god emperor count oribital knight slane sazubauum troyard the first will get at the end of the series to rekt inahos shit. Also it will be the source of all the martian hax.
Only insane people would call it Gundam-like. lol

Oh and thoughts on the last episode:

I get the feelinging that even if Inaho beats Slaine, his cyborg eye will probably fry his brain in the process. Maybe only the princess lives at the end of the season?
It went off the rails. There's nothing AnimeGAF likes better than a trainwreck.

Valvrave level esque off the rails?

Lulz..what? He's killing earthlinks en masse. Plus also killing martians. There's no greater good. He's a villain already from both sides' perspectives
Slaine is neither a hero nor a villain. The war Saazbaum started is out of his control to end any time soon so he's doing what he can to end the war with minimal casualties by changing the Vers Empire from the inside. It's impossible to do that without spilling blood. He is essentially still fighting in the trenches so he's bound to kill Terrans while removing harmful elements on the Martian side.

So he's a villain with delusions about doing a good thing. Which is what most good villains actually are.
Like I said he's not a villain. His delusion is yet to be proven considering his plan makes sense and he's been successful thus far.
I don't even know if Slaine has those delusions at this point or if he's just doing whatever it takes, no matter how harmful, to keep Asseylum alive. He's definitely a villain right now either way. He's basically doing the exact opposite of what she'd want, and in her name no less.
If his plan is virtuous, what is the endgame? Mars rules the Earth and he rules Mars in a more fair and balanced manner somehow? Is Earth just supposed to accept his rule (or, more accurately, fake-princess's rule, I guess)? That'd never happen without massive casualties. Even if the plan was the most Earth friendly thing I could think of (he takes command of the fleet and somehow sends it back to Mars while leaving Earth alone) there are still massive casualties that'd have to happen for him to get to a place where he'd be able to do that.
It's a decently executed travesty of a script.
From a moving space ship no less.
I won't say it's Valvrave levels of ridiculously stupid bullshit yet, but it's Code Geass R2 levels of stupid. The protagonist-wars in these threads are fun (#teamSlaine vs #teamInaho), something R2 didn't have since no one liked Suzaku.
I think we can rule out any ambition on Slaine's part to rule over people. Everything he does is for Asseylum's sake. It would be wholly uncharacteristic for him to have any such desire to become the new emperor or take over either the Vers Empire or Earth. He doesn't seem to particularly enjoy violence either, so we can assume he doesn't want the war to go any longer than it needs to, i.e. if there is a way to end it, to put a stop it all, then he'll do it.

So both sides don't like Slaine.
All he wants to be is loved.
