What reason do I have to continue this anime on a weekly basis now? Oh yeah, that's right: none. Dropped.

You can watch it to see what Slaine's plans are and if Saazbaum manages to turn them to his advantage. You know Saazbaum's got to do something to put his side in an advantage. He's not going to want to live under Asseylum's rule.

Space wind is familiar term for change caused by different in gravitational pull and influenced caused bu plasmasphere. So yes, there are winds in space.

As far as I understood, the "wind" refered to the gravity of the asteroids around them.

Also I noticed a small oversight: In episode 12 Inaho called Slaine "bat" in English, while in the new flashback in episode 13 he called him "bat" in Japanese.


I am so awaiting the shocked and angered face of Slaine when he realizes that he failed at killing the person he probably most hated in his life, even though he lied on the ground completely helpless.

for what we know the princess could be actualy have recovered and slaine is keeping her purposedly in coma so he can have her for himself once the war end, it would not be too strange from a psicho stalker

[GreyZone]

Not sure if it was mentioned yet, but it seems Inaho is an Ensign now, which according to wikipedia, is a naval officer rank.
Seems like Inaho has been promoted quite a bit, which is only natural considering he won 1on1 several knight and even count level aldnoah-powered mechas with a mere "practise mech".

Watch it again because in ep 12 and 13, both were in Japanese. ._.

I can clearly remember Inaho calling Slaine "batto" in EP12 TV version. Maybe it was changed in the BD version.

EDIT: Yes, seems they changed it in the BD version. In TV version he said "batto" in BD version it was "komori".

Like someone else already said, to be fair to Slaine, I would've also thought Inaho was dead after I just shot him through the eye.

[XFire]

Wow, Slaine's gone full on villain now, hasn't he? I mean, he was always an antagonist, but he's blatantly evil at this point.

Well, he was pretty much drafted into the military last season, but he was never really given a rank or anything at the time. Ensign is a pretty low rank though, comparatively, considering all he's done for the UFE. They would have probably lost a long time ago, since he seems to be the only one making any progress.
They could have at least push him up to "Commander" or something, like how Luke Skywalker went from nothing in the rebel army to a commander in the span of two movies. I think the guy deserves it.

Especially since he's the only one who knows what he's doing. Promoting him to Supreme Generalissimo would save the effort of his making "suggestions".

Well, UFE is more realistic. Inaho needs to learn the art of commanding a group of people instead of acting solo. He needs to learn to take responsibility for the group and not the individual. He needs to think about the big picture more. Once he does that, then he can get a promotion imo.

Slaine didn't deserve his promotion either. He got one. Just another way that the 2 organizations differ and how the characters are growing.

You know that many evil guys had a plan...just saying...

Who knows exactly what an NTRed man who goes against the believes of the one he supposedly loves and a traitor against his race plans...people like that are capable to do many things..

I think Slaine is Planning to Slain Saazbaun himself and then bring Asseylum out of her coma. if that Plan Corpse then plan B is to ...

Well, I don't know, Inaho does command the rest of the troops as well, like he organized the whole attack in the end of the last season. He's never tried to be a one man show, it's just that no one else is any good in comparison.

And considering how the UFE is basically less of a military and more of a rebel group at this point, what with most of the continents having been taken over by Vers (all except the areas that Inaho is in, by the way. ), and them losing quite a bit of soldiers and upper-level officers in the fight, I don't see why they couldn't have promoted him a couple of ranks. It would save time, since he doesn't have to just "suggest" his plans to the captain, he can simply give orders.

Once you're on the edge of extinction, I think some allowances can be made.

The fact that Inaho behaving more like a robot than a normal person has been widely accepted both by many Inaho lovers and haters alike (at least those who tried to be as objective as possible and not in denial). Take that as you will.

I felt kinda honored to be quoted and used as an example. lol Yup, I do try my best not to be biased when it comes to characters that I like or fanboy over. Thus, I call it as I see it.

And that kid, as much as I like him, he's a robot and that hasn't changed at all in those 19 months since last season's finale. (Aside from the polite small talk.)

Bit and pieces of the moon. That's most likely what said debris consists of.

Wow as predicted; this was a major shitt;

Dude both Slaine and Inaho are psychopaths; both them are freaking evil; the freaking story of this shitt is that nobody wins until one is annihilated. Slaine already one but the director pulled something from his ass to prolong the freaking series

Which shouldn't be heavy enough to matter.

Slaine didn't win anything though. For all of last season, he was pretty much toyed with, tortured and shat on by Cruhteo, and used by Saaz. It also didn't help when the girl of his dreams was visibly slipping away from him. Long story short, even if he did kill Inaho then and there, I still wouldn't consider it a "win" for him.

At every possible encounter they had, Inaho always managed to outplay him either literally or figuratively.

Its an anime dude, no need to stress so much on the logical stuff. If its one thing I know, applying logic to this anime in particular is rage-inducing.
