Awww yeah Slaine, that level of treachery and deception is on par with Cesare Borgia. I think what makes it even more interesting is that it doesn't seem like he hated Saazbaum. Rather, it seems he was definitely pained by killing him. But the love for his princess was stronger than the love for his father.

dam. Slaine killed Saazbaum to become the count. "did you really think I would swear loyalty to you, after pointing a gun at the princess?"

Slaine was just simultaneously removed and re-added to the asshole list.

Wow.
Just wow.

Well, I'm glad that Saazbaum was able to keep the promise to Slaine's dad. It was kind of heartwarming to hear him announce that Slaine was to be his son. Very heart-warming, indeed.

AND THEN BOOM.

I felt that Slaine was coming up with the point to kill off his new father. Up until that little part where he whispered "Father". I CALLED IT.
Which was why, had someone watched it with me, would've heard me whisper it the same time Slaine muttered it and me cackle over how evil revenge and protection did to this boy.

Can't say that I really like Inaho that much. In the first season he was all fine and stuff and just seemed to be like one of those boys that just knew... a lot. Genius. That's the word. In the second season, he just seems like he's just plain cheating what with the eye and all. That chess battle with Captain Dead-Brother. That's got to be his eye.

I mean, he's still cute and all. HA HA.

So it seems that Slaine and Inaho teaming up together isn't going to be happening anytime soon.
/sigh

It's okay, though. I think that my energy goes up whenever I see them fighting each other anyway.

Slaine's beating Inaho in my popularity contest.

And to finish it off, the ending theme that makes me miss Inuyasha comes back on.

Onto to the next episode!``

Buahahaha, nicely done Count Slaine Troyard! >:D I'm admiring him more and more. He set his objective and from a weak guy nobody gave a shit about he became a count. Very nice development.

I can't wait for Asseylum to wake up. That's when the fun begins.

Too fast... Saazbaum got wiped out this early...?

In addition, what is this familiar malicious vibe From Slaine Troyard? So similar to a certain villain named Char Aznable and that haunting chant from a certain series of space war anime shows back in 1979 and the 1980's... Perhaps 1993??

Now I like Slaine more..

Try not to relate this show to Lelouch-Suzaku, if not it will spoil the fun.

This show is all about Asseylum hime!

I guess one could say...Just as planned.

If I were Slaine, I would have killed Saazbaum, too. He wasn't getting away with that.
If you see that my post is exactly 1 month old (or more) from when it was posted... Don't waste your time, especially when you want to reply with something petty & insignificant. Assume that I've moved on (because I have).

Same OST but somehow I don't feel the excitement and thrill anymore...
Somehow they turned an already robotic character into an even more robotic character. Inaho is too damn OP, so much that I don't like him.
That scene when he used Inko's help to pull him out and then he thanked her for saving him was just an excuse of scene to make look Inaho less OP and that he actually needs his friend's help. BS.

Really, I really dislike this new Inaho with that God eye that does everything and reads everything.

This season could have gone so much better in any of these scenarios:
  • Inaho died in Ep 12. He dies like a hero, a sacrifice in war. His story ends as a tragedy. In the next season we have a change of protagonist. This is a good Urobucher twist and makes you face the cruelty of war and gives you a plot twist that would shock you.
  • The princess Asselyum died in episode 12. Same than the previous episodes, but of course this would change heavily the outcome of future events and character's motivations. Unlikely to happen since martians have more advanced tech to heal people.
  • Both of them died as we were lead to believe. Raw Urobutcher
  • In the episode 12 we don't see any overdramatic death representation for Inaho nor Asselyum because the producers didn't intend to kill them in the end. In this case, something else happens, some shots to the body maybe and in the extreme some insinuations of shots to kill but nothing like the actual episode 12.


PD: This Slaine development... that's what I was waiting for. He took his time to not only get his revenge, but take power in a higher position as Count.

The moment he made Slaine his son and successor I knew he would get killed by Slaine in some way for him to obtain count status. But Slaine obtaining the count title on the same episode was unexpected.

Meh, Saazbaum was killed by Slaine. Lemrina saying crazy things. Inaho being God. It's so bad that is good. Slaine Saazbaum Troyard for the win! 2/5

At last, that shit Saazbaum died. But still, his performance on the first season really impressive. He can take this whole war into the next level. I give thanks for his characterization. However, i can't quite like with the change of Slaine's characterization. So he would really act as a villain here? Interesting turn of table. Like i said some words before, this show really had so much twister!

Slaine killing the Count was not what I expected. He has a higher position and got to avenge for the princess. I liked this episode.

Slaine not only earned Saazbaum's trust, but also his name as his sone, with that, Slaine now possess a mantle of invincibility against any other Martians, now that he has avenged his princess by shredding Saazbaum, he now earns the title of a count. Well, well well, the guy's moving in ranks hella quick, but not as quick as Inko screaming Inaho's name, SHUT THE FUCK UP!

Slaine playing the long game here. It'll be interesting to see his endgame, and how his obvious affection for Asseylum factors into his power plays with the Vers Empire. I imagine he believes that climbing the military ladder will eventually allow him to reach a status where he can consolidate both Asseylum's safety and trust, while also accounting for his own health.
