The marriage can't really go forward unless we're being trolled and she's awake but mentally impaired. She'd either have to agree to it (making Lemrina useless, and boy what a can of worms that is) or they'd have to keep her locked up. Either way, Slaine's shit is about to hit the fan.

You guys...
Lemrina and Slaine are publicly announcing their marriage to solidify his control over the Orbital Knights. The move was motivated by both Slaine's acceptance of Seylum's coma as permanent, and Lemrina's acceptance of being her sister's substitute forever.
But because this is Aldnoah, Seylum is now, of all times, waking up.
This isn't difficult!

Becaise this is Aldnoah the Emperor also won't demand Slaine be killed for trying to marry his daughter despite being a Terran. No giant fleet of Martians will descend on Slaine's position with the promise of her hand in marriage for the Count that manages to kill the Terran swine.
Isn't this kinda overridden by the fact that Slaine and Lemrina are declaring their own dominion and thus are in open rebellion against the rule of Vers?
But don't you think this is going to lead to a civil war anyway? I don't quite see all 37 clans choosing either side as one.
I assumed you referred to Lemrina, since the real Asseylum getting caught up in that is more a case of collateral damage. Like I said, Slaine and Lemrina are operating under the impression that Asseylum stays under for a good while yet. We are literally shown the moment that Slaine gives up hope of her waking up anytime soon. But eh, my bad for assuming the meaning of your comment wrong. Never mind me
She can declare whatever she wants but they're all sworn to the empire. If the Emperor came out against the marriage, or said that she's being held prisoner, or whatever, there'd be a civil war at the very least. Realistically speaking, this would completely tank the war effort. These are people that have no problems killing Terran's because they're lowly filth, who are now being told their Princess is going to marry one.
No, because this is Aldnoah Zero.

I am very curious in the Vers military power outside of the Orbital knights. More knights on Vers?
m'lady
Why would they go to war? The emperor liked Slaine, even if Saazbaum messed it up a bit. And he'll listen to LemrinaSeylum if she explains the situation to him. Even if the emperor condemned Slaine, what the hell is he going to do? He has no way of enforcing his authority, and it was clear that he's not only old but also kind of senile to be so open to manipulation by Saazbaum. This episode made it clear that the Orbital Knights are no longer a threat to Slaine... except one. The trojan horse Inaho released.
No, the ending is going to be Inaho vs Slaine or Inaho and Slaine vs Aldnoah.

The Emperor could make a speech that would be ruinous to Slaine even if he's so far away (nevermind ill) to actually do anything about it himself. I know he won't, but he could.
Whatever. Everything is lining up for Slaine's second friendzoning at the hands of Asseylum. This will lead to Slaine the wicked locking her up in a room, and Godnaho the wise eventually rescuing her with the power of the true Aldnoah.
When has Asseylum ever proven herself to be adept at anything? She'll go along with the plan because she'll be disoriented (if not conveniently amnesia stricken) and Slaine's a friendly face. Meanwhile, Lemrina will probably actually murder her.
That would also go with the whole caged bird symbolism they've been showing the last few episodes. I don't see this not happening.

Is it really going to wrap up after this season? Seems like it would be pretty abrupt to end in just 5 more episodes.
Asseylum is awake. I wouldn't be surprised if she becomes the final villain through Aldnoah hijinks over the course of three episodes and Inaho and Slaine have to team up to stop her in the final 2 episodes. Something, something... Slaine's father once told kid Slaine a secret about Aldnoah and how to stop it... something, something... the penchant is magic and is the key to the end.
I still think there's still a possibility there will be a sequel 20-30 years later.

I'm feeling another series with Slaine as the accidental tyrant.
That's a popular theory. Asseylum dies, Slaine loses his way, takes over the Vers Empire, and years later is taken down by Inaho's son. Before he dies, he monologues about his youth, having always meant well for the sake of the love of his life, and so on and so forth, and then he succubs to his wounds as Inaho's kid just watches him die. The end.
I hope so. Not sure if I want another season or series.

So
after watching duel between Slaine and Count Marylcian, it seems Vers army has some pretty decent fighters on their side. Mix that with technological superiority and infinite Aldnoah sequence activation
Sucks to be terran
You cant argue that Slaine is MVP in season 2, but dayum look at resources at his disposal Vers side is so OP its not even remotely funny. Inaho is doing best he can with what he has, but the way things are now
If earth is somehow to survive:
- 1st - Count Mazuurek discovers the truth about Asseylum, rallies knights that oppose Slaine. Inaho could use unrest in Vers army to save his princes. Given some time earth might be able to start mass producting Aldnoah powered craft.
- 2nd - Inaho somehow saves Aseylum and when Slaine the Almighty is about to set his forces on earth 3rd race aliens who actually created Aldnoah technology comes back (ala Reapers Mass Effect style) to take everyone down, forcing Godnaho and Slaine the Almighty to join forces.
- 3rd - and most probable option is for creators to make AldnoahXMahouka crossover. They completely abandon logic, Inaho becomes Tatsuya Stu (aka Mahesvara) and nukes everyone on the orbit using his eye and Material Burst
Again, if only for counts - Vers side seems to have decent fighters other than Slaine. As for earthlings if thats the best terran forces has to offer its kidna depressing. They are all so weak and useless Im positive earth would be better off if Inaho didnt use his Aldnoah sequence on Deucalion, but instead went to that secret dock and power up Vers kataphract that is on earth since Heavens Fall. He can even paint it orange just ffs dude get off that frickin trainer.
I might be in minority, but would prefer for this story to have happy ending. Wouldnt mind season 3 as long as plot stays interesting and unpredicatble. I seriously hope Aniplex learned from shitstorm that was caused by Guilty Crown ending

Episode 19
Slaine turning heel was inevitable, but I'm not convinced it will stay that way through the end. I get the feeling a common foe will appear, probably whatever the hell Aldnoah is. Also, a third season doesn't seem likely, but unless they explore the importance of Slaine's father, I can see it happening.

Friendzoned by a conveniently semi-amnesiac Asseylum, Slaine heel turns on the fake Princess that is going to deactivate all his shit and murder him and probably her while she's at it. You picked the wrong fight son.
At least we hear it from the horse's mouth this time "I want power, gimme gimme gimme"
Godnaho you're our only hope of salvation from these Martian barbarians.

Hope they dont make Slaine's decision cause him to fall, would be bad.
How can we resolve everything in this season. I hope a surprise third part is on the way.

Yeah, I don't see this ending well for Slaine. Kinda a bad spot to be in for him, but he could be making better decisions. One is not lying to the second princess because if she turns on you, it's all over.
He can't really do that when she can single-handedly ruin all of his plans.

Certainly took quite a long time for the Martians to figure out that sending out multiple Kats is probably the way to win a war.
Amnesia is an extremely convenient plot point, since it's just delaying the inevitable "I never asked for this" from Asseylum. Slaine's resolve to conquer Earth for Vers seems to be wavering, but both he and Inaho realize that the war is too massive for anyone to be able to broker a peaceful resolution. Serving the princess or serving the Vers people, not mutually exclusive goals, but with the way the war is at the moment, he probably sees it as such.
And what little we see of Terran command continues to show how incompetent they are. As if I needed reminding.

So they need multiple knights to fight Inaho or at least drive him back, unless he wrecks them all next episode.
Poor poor slaine.

I'm guessing he's still gonna end up teaming up with Inaho against a common enemy. Martians that are not happy with what's going on Earth and Slaine.

lol Slaine. Even after all this, Hime still loves Inaho.
Bwahaha.
Kinda feel bad for Lemrina though. Slaine is lying to everyone. He's going to suffer a cruel fate.

Not gonna lie this season so much better than the S1, not saying its 8-9/10 good but its been decent.
More focus to Slaine and slower pace to develop faction doing wonder..
Climax will not satisfying though I think, because ideally you want S1 doing as good as this season job to develop Inaho/earth side but as it is, I don't give a crap to them.

One bullet.
All the feely-touchy shit of this show bore me to death but it pays off with the battles, not because they are particularly exciting or well done but because they show how useless is something like a mech versus some basic tactics:
Last episode some basic artillery spotting destroyed a super lazor mech and now some smoke bombs make a cloaked mech an easy target... that is until the cavalry shows up, I hope Slaine can pull some decent tactics an not everything goes to the guy with the cooler mech.

Yessss.
That said, I'm expecting
heavy Terran casualties.
Wonder what that count Mazuurek is going to do now that he's back.
lol @ Slaine walking in on Princess talking about watching the birds with Inaho. Loved that Yuki also called him a douchebag hehe.
