Aldnoah.Zero 2nd Season Episode 6 Discussion

HandsomeMan said:
This anime should be called "The Rise of Slaine". Really, he is accomplishing a lot in a little amount of time; but in a coherent manner. Inaho doesn't seem to be as strategic as Slaine, but more tactical (in other words Inaho can think but not think as far ahead as Slaine).

BenMS said:


I'm not sure if Slaine will be alive long enough to get to the wedding...
Marylcian does have quite a nasty death there... getting spaced, in theory, is an even nastier death then drowning in cold ocean. And that is already considered one of the most worse deaths possible...

@Episode: I wonder how the hell this will continue. With 6 episodes to go, and the last few of them (3 or 4?) going to be written by Urobuchi, I'm sure there will be hell to pay for a lot of people.
I'm pretty sure at least a couple of the more noteworthy people of the Earth faction will die, and at least either Slaine or the fake princess from Vers.... Hell, if we're lucky even even the Emperor of Vers will die due to some weird reason.

How come the count's lasers were not affected by the "space wind", what are the conditions for it not to be affected in Aldnoah.Zero2?

BenMS said:


I guess the writer who has written those episodes decided it to be a dumb feature/reason and just left it out.

Darklight0303 said:


And yet his precious caged bird was about to die and he didn't know a single thing about it. So no he's pretty narrow minded.

HandsomeMan said:


Are you just trying to troll now?
Slaine isn't omni-present. He might have been asleep or at another part of the base, or out in space while the princess was visiting her.

Darklight0303 said:


The fight was on EARTH. Not in Space and HE WAS USING FREAKING BEAM WEAPONS. Even with wind those are not affected because they are ENERGY not mass.

CookingPriest said:


Easy - next ep Slaine tries to confuse the princess and restrict the info for her once she wakes up, Mazuurek ends up somehow telling her the truth by the end of the episode.

Episode 7 is princess escape, mazuurek dies

Episode 8 Princess reunites with Inaho, Slaine Snaps

Episode 9 set up for final battle, Slaine taes over more of vers, decides to drop asteroid/moon leftovers on Earth

10 11 12 the final battle.

Darklight0303 said:


Thinking ahead would involve him knowing what Lemrina might do if the chance presents itself. The fact that he doesn't even have someone watching her shows how he's not thinking ahead in the least about the greatest threat from the inside.

Knight-Artorias said:


If more shit gets dropped on earth I don't think it'll matter if they win
they were still recovering from HF

Godown knows how long it will take them to recover from this war, more moon pieces dropping will just be the nail on the coffin

HandsomeMan said:


I think you're giving Slaine too much credit. He ain't Lelouch to think about every little detail that far ahead, but by no means is he dumb. Smarter than all other characters in this anime, apart from Inaho (and even that can be argued considering how much he relies on his eye).

Oh yeah he's dead. The asshole got spaced which is a NASTY way to go

Knight-Artorias said:


Yup Curly got Slained....if only they wore some form of space suit instead of the bloody count outfit

BenMS said:


Inaho was pretty smart even before he got that eye. Although I have to admit, Inaho has become lazy by relying on it...

a clear manifestation of a fanatic by Slaine.
Of course it should be called, Slaine the underdeveloped character who always commits the same mistakes

HandsomeMan said:


Are you just trying to troll now?

you are fanatic of all, shoujo fan.
His beloved Slaine made the same errors he committed against Saazbaum, did not value the words of Saazbaun now Lemrina does the same thing.
Slaine isn't omni-present. He might have been asleep or at another part of the base, or out in space while the princess was visiting her.

Z4k said:

I've been lurking here for awhile but I've seen you call everyone a slaine fanatic just because they don't hate him like you. What's your problem?

MonadoRudra said:
Slaine won against Marylcian purely because he did his homework and found a location around the moonbase where he could nullify Herschel's normally overwhelming advantage, rather than lolTharsis which only predicts about 2 seconds into the future.

Inaho's eye seems more OP than Tharsis honestly.

Tharsis can only see a few seconds into the future, Inaho's eye can already effectively do that by apparently flawless calculations, as well as be able to do even more calcs and see as far as the moon from earth.

seujair31 said:
It just proves the fact that when logging out, Asseylum was clearly, and hurry in his cage, through forcefully, in an induced coma, sedated. I hope she flee to the land with Count friend Inaho to struggle with the inhuman monster Slaine, the king of the bird's stories

ANGRY2011 said:


Yea, there still hasn't been proof that she's in an induced coma or being kept sedated in a way to make her stay asleep. Keep on doing your thing, seujair.

ANGRY2011 said:

The marriage plan is excellent. Slaine's claims to power and his schemes get grander, and so he's able to accomplish more, making him an interesting and effective character.

Darklight0303 said:


You can't deny that it is a little suspicious how the princess woke up after some functions of the pod were turned off momentarily.

Darklight0303 said:


Without Tharsis Slaine would have died at the start of the duel. You see him use it at first. So no Tharsis still save his skin.

ANGRY2011 said:
This is actually an episode that I got full enjoyment out of. I think it has to do with the fact that the mechs were actually quite good this time around.

I think that with the power of the first guy's beams though, he could have probably hit the ship if he would have focused some fire. He was easily blowing through buildings, I wouldn't be surprised if he could open a firing line through a small portion of the Earth, given that the missed shot was still pretty dang close. Poor priorities focusing on something other than the real threat. Still, a good battle.

Stupid count asshole puts up a good fight, his mech has some serious firepower. The Tharsis is super OP, but his mech was almost perfectly suited to countering it. Too bad he messed up (as he was always going to, like Slaine's gonna die randomly here).

The marriage plan is excellent. Slaine's claims to power and his schemes get grander, and so he's able to accomplish more, making him an interesting and effective character.

As for Lemrina, she's great. Nothing else to say there.

Princess wakes up on cue at end of episode 6, start of 7, like nearly everyone predicted. Time for the build to the climax.

Oh, Inaho's eye watching them fight in space is pretty hilarious though. Really? Sometimes the show still just knows how to make me roll my eyes and laugh. Just like his accuracy with it from space.

ANGRY2011 said:


His problem is a hatred of Slaine that is so obsessive that you have to wonder exactly how much time he spends thinking about him...

CookingPriest said:

Troll harder.

Unless you believe that Nina from geass of Suugou from SAO were interesting as well.

The only value in Slaine is the upcoming pay off when Asseylum finally snaps at him and he is left destroyed for his bullshit.]



Was about to say this.

Lemrina messes with controls - princess wakes up. If anything it hitns even more at induced coma thing.

Slaine most likely thought he has to keep her asleep till he builds "perfect world" for her

Martian: "LOL you can't beat my OP mech. GG no RE nubs"
Terrans: "We need to think of something quickly or else we'll lose."
silence...
Inaho: *Does some calculations and shit to find out the weakness in less than a minute*
Soundtrack starts playing
Martian: "No way! Impossible!"
Earth wins
/episode

By turning off some of the equipment functions, proves that it is in a state of induced coma, simple as if it were just eat, to disable certain functions of the devices it Moreria, is how it works euthanasia.
As always you and your precipitated arguments, not paying attention to the facts

Jokes aside, I really hate how Laser-kun became yet another example of the evil Vers villain. What was the point of showing him in the 1st episode if he was just meant to be more plot fodder for Inaho and the gang? He only lasted like 4-5 minutes...Was there really any point to showing this fight? Someone explain the relevance of this sequence.

Does Yuki-nee's smack talk about monologues count as being meta? I found that pretty funny.

I liked the episode overall. It was nice to see a battle between the OP Vers mechs for once. Seeing Slaine overpowered and struggling was also pretty nice. I thought they were going to go the "faceroll" route and convince us that Slaine was so far ahead of everyone else. With the princess finally waking up, things are going to get crazy. Cue "I'm married to WHO?! He did WHAT?!" You just know that whatever the Princess does is going to have a huge effect on Slaine for better or worse. I'm hoping she abandons Slaine and runs to Inaho because honestly that would be the best thing for his character.

Oh and probably the most important revelation of this episode. It looks like this episode is proof that Slaine was not intentionally keeping the princess in the tube, despite all the people who wanted to believe that was true. I even believed it until someone made a logical argument about why Lemrina was in the shot while he was talking. Maybe even the subbers believed it, because that was really implied by the words that were chosen. But it looks like Slaine was just talking about both Lemon and Asseylum as birds that were caged because of their Aldnoah power.

BenMS said:

1) Why are you using caps while I didn't like that BS reason to start with, and never hid that?
2) The fight was in Earth orbit. Not on Earth conditions.
3) If I remember correctly, according to a few eps, even lasers did get affected by that 'space wind'. It's still one heck of a dumb thing though.

Z4k said:
Anyways can we all just agree the Asseylum needs to die for real this time? Season 2 is doing really well without her.

Raziel1991 said:


What? Slaine can see 6 hours into the future as seen in the episode where Saazbaum died. Also Slaines Tharsis is literally the best counter to Inahos cyborg eye. The cyborg eye gives Inaho pinpoint accuracy while Tharsis allows Slaine to dodge all kinds of projectiles. No matter how accurate Inahos shots are they will always be dodged by Tharsis due to its ability.

Savethebestforu said:
I have to say that even though I predicted the outcome, in my opinion the fight between the 2 Vers mechs was the best fight (all things considered) since the early episodes with Inaho fighting the orbital knights. The feeling of suspense was something I haven't felt in a long time, and maybe it's just because it was something new.

Darklight0303 said:


Super powered mech VS Super Power mech. Oh yeah. Real exciting
