Aldnoah.Zero 2nd Season Episode 4 Discussion

Man if nothing else, the shots of Inaho being a BAD ASS are always amazing. That Space zoom with the OST was just amazing.

You know whats funny, is Slane's mech is probably the easiest the deal with. all it does is predicts the rounds path so he can avoid it at a high speed.
so how do you beat that?
Mix in some explosive rounds, set to detonate at a certain distance, and some smoke grenades, and now he cant see the rounds coming, and even if he does, they explode next to him as he attempts to dodge. Then just pepper the area with gun fire, limiting his mobility.
Boom. Hes done.
unless he of course has a secret ability. Which is possible.

An OK episode. I'm hating the martians more and more with each episode, now they made someone that's arguably peaceful die for nothing. Then again... Inaho is still somehow under Vers' radar, except when it comes to Slaine.

They really should just stop with the ''Inaho comes and saves the day!'' scenario, what is this, 4th episode in a row where the exact same thing happened? I also don't like how everyone, even the female captain seem like complete amateurs compared to him, it actually makes me get annoyed at them.

I can't believe i'm saying this, but Slaine's part in this is episode was much more enjoyable than anything else. Gotta give him credit for his achievement, though it does help alot to be in a mech that predicts the future. I hope those counts die soon.

Wonder what Inaho's ''guess i have no choice...'' meant.

3/5

OMMMMMMMMMGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG so pissed.. about Inaho being basically Tatsuya/Kirito, all the other Earth soldiers are useless. He is simply smarter,stronger and better at everything than his friends. He is the ONLY one capable of actually fighting the Martians.... I also hate the fact that there hadn't been a single death yet.... we see random no-names die, then Inaho's friends get bitched around, yet they never die, and then Inaho comes in and saves the day. (every fight that involved Earth basically)

I also got quite pissed because they suddenly began attempting to make Slaine OP like Inaho.... Because a God needs his nemesis.... I really liked Slaine since ep 1 of Season 1; a huge reason for that was because of his humanity aka realism not being OP 'cuz i told ya so' as is the case with Inaho and 'bland' as is the case with the rest of the cast. He was also basically the only character with actual development. And no that Marito trauma filler stuff ain't relevant anyway. In my opinion at least.

Well obviously the ending will be with Earth winning, Martians being liberated, Inaho slaying Slaine which became evil because only Inaho can be the sole good guy, life is about white and black, there ain't no grey here! And Inaho and the Princess living happily ever after..... God I hope they twist that inevitable ending and surprise me.

Well, I apologise for my negativity. But this IS my own personal opinion, you may not agree with it.

of course there is nothing interesting on the side of the Martians, from what we saw taking Tharsis, the other locks are all useless.
This thing to reform the Martian regime, this nonsense are all fantasies created by fanboy Slaine first without the gate that was distruido, it is impossible to reach Mars, and second with no one changes a regime without resources to offer.
Simple Fansboys of Slaine suffer from the same delusions of his character, invent history and imagine things that never happened.
No appeal and the gate is imposivel reaches mars and change a regime.
Sorry for ending the dreams of fanboys Slaine

Savethebestforu said:


1 question for you. How come you insist on calling anyone that says they enjoy Slaine's character 'SLAINE YAOI FANBOYS" when you have Inaho Kaizuka listed as your top 5 anime characters of all time? This shit just keeps getting funnier and funnier.

seujair31 said:


because of that ridiculous torture scene, instead of using instruments of torture, blood and cruelty, become a yaoi SM torture scene with whip, you know how many fanarts were created with that scene. Dude you never researched the basic Slaine fans, is mainly composed of women, shojo fans and yaoi. He has great regeição men, and fan of mecha genre

Savethebestforu said:


No, I wasn't aware because I usually don't search for that stuff. Did you find them searching for naked fanarts of Inaho?

seujair31 said:


Better than an idiot who does everything wrong, including failing to defend his beloved princess, who was almost dead, and is in a coma. and how recompessa discovered that he had super powers, won a super robot that predicts the future, and a servant who does the calculations, plans and battle tactics, the typical cliche Power Rangers. Betrays everyone and the world, and is delirious in their stupid fantasies.
Another ridiculous thing is the marcinos strands, which are hollow inside, remembering little robots toy, made of plastic.

KamiAlice said:


Seriously do people even pay attention to things? Marito does the exact same thing Inaho has been doing, but the credit goes to Inaho because "WHY."

All Inaho did was shoot a bullet. If he "saved the day" I guess it was Inko's victory against the second guy because she used the crate that made him retreat. We should really credit Magbaredge because she tipped the boat to beat him. Rayet killed the 3rd one, but slaine saved the day in that instance. Oh and the first one it was all Assylum and the people on the boat since all Inaho did was stab him after he fell into the water.

People have short attention spans I swear.

skudoops said:


Come on dude, you were the guy that told me all the mechs only have one power when Saaz's had three.

CookingPriest said:


It is red, so it fits Inaho's colors too

KamiAlice said:

To which I replied, AFTER IT MERGED with others.
Plus I did state that Aldnoah only gives them 1 ability, not that the mechs can only have 1 ability. The Dioscuria is equiped with 3 different aldnoah drives after it merges, which gives it access to 3 different abilities.
Thanks for proving that you have a short attention span though.

You know what I don't understand? Inaho was this "military genius" from the very first episode of the first season and now he even has the A.I. thingy in his left eye with which he can just solve complex problems like trajectory of his bullets (or anything else he needs to know) in an instant.

Slaine on the other hand, was never anything special, on the contrary he made alot of really, really dumb decisions in fights and otherwise. But is suddenly on the same level with Inaho and can do stuff like cryptoanalysis and data sifting... He planned their battle last episode so far ahead that he would even outsmart Inaho with the bullets he shoot into the earth orbit (which doesn't work and is completely impossible to plan that he would end up on that exact spot)... the same "improved" Inaho with the super computer in his left eye, who has tons of more actual battle expertise than him. I know that his Kataphrakt can basically look into the future but not that far and it doesn't explain how he got on Inaho's level in such a short time while still being a complete dumbass (sorry to say that but it's the truth) at the end of last season.

They do this probably so it's actually believable that somebody can keep up with now even more overpowered main character like Inaho but it still doesn't add up and completely destroys the "immersion" (haha, I know) when he suddenly pulls something off like destroying the Trident base on his own with a yet again plan that involves knowledge and skills that even far surpasses the bullsh*t tactics the guy with (again) the super computer in his left eye comes up.

You know what, I can actually allow him destroying the base solo because he had to navigate through the asteroid field which required the future sight most likely. This made it difficult for the earth guys to defend themselves because the asteroids that were originally supposed to shield them were shielding him.

I think the worst thing is how inaho is the only competent guy in the earth army since other than Saaz and Slaine, no one else has taken down a martian mech. His piloting ability and battlefield analysis is also ridiculous considering his level of schooling. I mean, this dude may have been more believable if he was that dude from FMP.. but prior to this he hadn't seen combat, hadn't even finished high school and did not receive much military training.. so wtf? At least Slaine had the training.

Then again the very premise of the martian invasion makes no sense at all, did they really think so few mechs could hold the entire WORLD? You know it's not like if they used them as shock troopers to clear the heavy defenses and then dropped in the actual army.. they legit keep sending in one mech alone.. what do they hope to accomplish? Even in this episode they did it again! Like what the hell was he hoping to do down there, especially with that dumb ass weapon of his? I Also don't see the purpose of landing castles.. what was the idea behind them other than destruction of wherever they landed? There was zero point to them because the martians didn't need a foothold or a base considering they kept only sending ONE GUY out per castle.

Of course we also have the asinine shit like Slaine shooting some rounds so that they'd come back in and exact spot at an exact time, ignoring the crazy amount of variables that could happen that would make that entire plan stupid but that's for another time.

seujair31 said:


another delusional fanboy Slaine, but a smart guy who does not know why the sky is blue, if it were not for the stupid servant working behind the curtains, making calculations and your super megazord that predicts the future this idiot would have died a long time. Super-Powers, Power Rangers aldnoah, super megazord that prefe the future, and Zordon Harklight servant, working behind the scenes, is a complete joke child

ANGRY2011 said:

Man, I don't wanna be that guy, but your posts are so repetitive and numerous that I find myself skipping them consistently like 3 times a page. Please, contain your roiling hatred.

ANGRY2011 said:
Slaine shows he can get shit done. No one should be surprised. The Tharsis is ridiculous, and Slaine isn't a slouch when it comes to operating alone.

The desert battle was meh. Did it have to be the Deucalion and Inaho providing the support? It just makes it seem silly sometimes, even when there's nothing special about the battle or what Inaho does it feels like the show is forcing him down our throats.

I'm pretty bored with most of the Martian fights now. It seems only a few mechs were made with any semblance of actually fighting, those being the Tharsis, Saaz's big mech, and Vlad's. Almost all of the other mechs have, in all honesty, really stupid abilities.

Like today's mech. What is the battle strategy? "I can't be hit, but my only offense is steadily moving forward slowly and everyone will just pass out then die." That's a stupid strategy. It is also, although different in technology and method, essentially the same strategy as the first mech from S1 - can't be hit, except in a certain way, and has no offense except for apparently basically standing on top of people. It was also the general strategy of the mech from the S2 opener with the freezing powers. Fucking yawn.

Also, top kek at anyone who calls what Slaine did this episode "genocide" or "mass murder." You're free to dislike Slaine and his actions, but attacking an enemy military installation isn't even remotely close to attacking a civilian target. If the Terrans could use one mech to blow up a landing castle, I'm sure they would, and no one would call that genocide or mass murder.

The fight new martian i feel went down way to easy. We see he's clearly able to tank some hits even before he put up his gravitational waves but then Inaho comes to shoot him from space which I feel is a bit much. I find it hard to believe his shots wouldn't incinerate in the atmosphere but I guess (sarcasm activated) you can fit spaceship size tech into bullets to resist heat from atmospheric pressures and heat while keeping them viable for shooting cuz technology. (sarcasm deactivated). Also if he could create the waves horizontally I see no reason he cant shift the axis and make the waves diagonally or vertical since it seemed to follow the way his devices rotated around him but I guess the element of surprise from the first shot from space is what took him down.

Inaho doesn't want to fight Slaine? I wonder what I have no choice means.

Memento02 said:


My best guess is that he'll be loading an Aldnoah drive on his machine. That would be the only way for him to be able to defeat Slaine.

Raziel1991 said:


Except Inaho did get training, it was stated from the very first episode that terrans start getting military training from a very young age and no the whole "seeing into the future" ability is ridiculous and taking out a base all by himself in an instant is completly absurd, specially if we consider that the martian army has been trying to take out Trident base for quite some time now.

It's more like "Time to take the kid gloves off and put the rabid dog in his place".

An_anon said:


It's funny because he calls other people obsessive and delusional but he makes about 25 posts a day all saying the same thing and basically spams them. Not to mention all the unprovoked personal attacks.

seujair31 said:

and fanboy Slaine, who create every day an idiot topic, and always use the same attacks from the first tempora,
always the same phrases, and the same disculpa.
I've never seen a fanboy of Slaine recognize their faults, always inentam excuses and justifications.
and give even hate Slaine is a garbage personamen, all poorly written, totally idiot, who won an upgrade of super powers, and a super megazord
Super Robot empowered magical powers to predict the future.
this is not lock, but science fantasy, the genre of Power Rangers.

CookingPriest said:

^This

It is literally "I have been trying to give him benefit of a doubt because of Princess but now since he turned into massmurdering psychopath, I have no choice but to put him down even if princess would be sad"

skudoops said:


Again, like I said, why can't they do that with all of them? Better question, why do they put the receiver for the anti matter device in the front of the mech and not between the legs? Infact, why don't they just give the mechs regular weapons along with powers?

Infact why make 4 shitty mechs and not make one super mech with 4 drives? You see how this show stops making sense right? And don't say oh because it's only one per count, because Saaz had the future one under his command to.

Rumble_Shift said:
Hmm ... this week episode was way more better than last week. Inaho doesn't seemed really care about his sister. And both main male character looks really BA now.

KamiAlice said:

You see how things actually make sense when you use your head and think about it.

Dragon_Slayer_X said:


Pretty sure it has been shown multiple times that Inaho cares about his sister a lot in Season 1.
