Is it just me or that Crutheo jr looks like someone who can be pushed around much in the preview. |

I thought this episode was really good, now that the princess is awake and knows that traitors plans she has to find a way to stop him. Also it looks like that eye is really giving Inaho issues that might be his downfall in the end. Now we have a new character added, what will this son do? |

Knight-Artorias said: Omg a swaggy Areion O_O I don't believe it Bleh. Not even an interesting mech shown. Just Terran mechs and those stupid Vers fighters. Of course Slaine was gonna meet with the new guy, and of course there's gonna be Asseylum/Lemrina moments, since they were locked up. Can't really predict anything from the preview that you wouldn't have already expected. |

First thing that comes to mind would be terraforming Mars to make it suitable for agriculture, and that again requires resources from earth. Another economy would be mining and manufacturing, but that again requires heavy equipment from earth to be shipped to Mars. |

Wait. Do they plan to make Deucalion attack the Lunar base now?! There're three episodes left, the final battle can't end in one episode, and we see the lunar surface in the PV. So... Really? That's it? No sacrifice, no serious upgrade, no conspiracy to weaken the defenses. "Inaho could do it all along, it's just that Deucalion couldn't jump high enough". Ughh. That's the main base of supposedly highly advanced (yeah, discussed it) orbital knights, which has been reinforced for 15 years. And the place of the main stand-off from narrative pov, and they will breach it, cause they now have a catapult, which wasn't even mentioned as necessary before.. Damn.

I guess, then Slaine'd better kill him as well. But maybe he feels guilty for the death of a loyal knight. Or maybe not, since he beat him. Shadzy_ said: The more I think about it, the more I'm inclined to say that Inaho will die at some point. That would be logical, cause it would be too anticlimactic otherwise. But I doubt it, if they plan for the third season. He can "die" though to follow the "good" tradition. |

Well even if Inaho died, if they could pulled the Legend of Galactic Heroes certain character death.(Don't want to spoil the name) It could lead to a totally different path of story.^_^ Slaine death for me does not really lead to anything here as it means, the battle will still end up as Vers vs Earth while in my eyes, Inaho's death could be the catalyst to make Asseylum grow and end up understanding which one is reality and which one is simply a pipe dream ideal of peace. Slaine should only dies when he have achieved the highest position if you ask me. And of course, pliz give us more Harklight.T_T He reallyyyyyy need tons of moarrr screen time. |

That would be good, but frankly I don't see Asseylum developping in this style of writing. I guess, they mean that she is ideal as she is. They are not terribly realistic in writing personalities. Also I fear that the current position is meant to be the ceiling for Slaine. Otherwise they'd need to show the process of creation of the new coutry, and with their general disdain for change and elaboration of settings I don't see them going this way. Harklight is very shippabl... khhm... interesting. A pity that he is disregarded, since he could offer the long needed pov of a simple martian and express the wishes of the versian populace. |

The biggest factor in the way of solid predictions is that we simply don't know how long the story is going to run. It seems fairly likely that there will be a 3rd cour at this stage, based on how events have played out thus far. And then there's the possibility of a continuation of the series in some way, though how much it would borrow directly from Aldnoah.Zero other than the setting is unclear. I'm still feeling that, unless they have integral roles beyond Aldnoah.Zero, Slaine and Inaho will both die by the end of the show. I wouldn't be surprised if one of the princesses, if not both, eventually get the chop as well. |

I wouldn't be surprised if one of the princesses, if not both, eventually get the chop as well. That is true, though I'd say that some events - like one or both princesses running from Slaine's castle wih help of one of the opposite faction counts - seem likely in both cases. And the others - like the death of the MCs - can be done in almost every episode without big consequences in A.Z. The big question is whether they are going to close the current arc or not. I'd say that judging from the hints that they are taking the fight to the lunar base, they are likely to give a closure to the current events. Personally, I think that the plot demands one or two of the MCs to die. But I also don't see a new season with other characters. They bet all on the two main characters and their love dilemma, the world is neglected, there're no other interesting plotlines to bring the viewers into the next time period. Such transitions can be done in big epics, where the whole world works, but here... I just don't know how. As for the princesses, they are plot devices. ------------------- On unrelated note, I was browsing through stuff, where was a lot of screenshots of A.Z (don't ask, suffice to say that I am waiting on the washing mashine), and my suspicion has proven correct - they did fuck up Slaine's count design. The designs in the second season are somewhat lazier than in the first one, and they messed up the count Slaine big, both in terms of linework (it's often sloppy) and in terms of the overall impression. The main problem being that he hasn't become older, even though he must, the moe doesn't suit him anymore and his hair is annoyingly messy. I mean, he looks terribly out of place on most screenshots, especially between Harklight and Cronkine. Inaho looks older, thankfully. Guess, he is allowed to lose some of the moeness. Lemrina's face also worries me. It's shape seems bizarre because of the strange placement of curls and temples. |

Such transitions can be done in big epics, where the whole world works, but here... I just don't know how. As for the princesses, they are plot devices. At least one princess escaping seems likely, yeah. Given the probability of a third cour, I really doubt either MC will die. The show is quite literally built solely on these two characters, so killing either before the show ends would cause for some huge changes in how the story is structured from that point. Following that logic, it'd seem likely that the climax of the season will involve some side character deaths. Given Asselym's importance to both MC's, Lemrina may well be the one to go (which, if done correctly, could be rather tragic). On the Terran side, any of the four female characters could go, with Inko being the most significant I suppose. I know they've been so thoroughly protected this season, but surely, surely something has to give, right? |

So Slaine is going to make the multi-sided war official hopefully alá White Fang vs Oz vs Earth Sphere Alliance vs Gunam Pilots. The moment Asseylum stood up and revealed herself, great switch. So I am hoping Deucalion will venture beyond the Earth Sphere and we might get to see battoes taking place on and/or in the orbit of Mars |

Was Piso's Justice really alluded to at the end of the first cour? I know it was speculated as such, but given that the deaths technically never happened, I'm not so sure. Plus, I think it makes little sense for such a theme to be resolved halfway through the show. "Let justice be done, though the heavens fall". Would this represent Slaine enacting (his brand of) justice, regardless of the outcome (Hime's approval, a mostly inevitable death), believing it must be realized for a better outcome? The principle of Piso's Justice refers to retaliatory sentences with intentions that are technically correct, though morally wrong. Would this imply that Slaine's ultimate goals are as such? Was it referring to Saazbaum's condemning Vers' failed societal system in retaliation for his fiancé's death? I feel there are story inconsistencies with both. It's possible Fiat justitia ruat caelum just sounded like an interesting tagline to use with Heaven's Fall as it's only intended connection. There are so many lines of symbolism (Odin, Gulls, Wolves, Bats, Roses, Pendant, etc.), I'm not sure if they really even care. If it were really going to follow through with a Piso's Justice retelling, I think the plot requires three important characters to die, with Slaine as a most likely candidate. Regardless, I feel someone will truly die at the fault of another by the end. |

I want to tell you there's some deeper meaning, but given my current opinion of the show, I'd have to say it probably sounded cool and part of the show is about "justice" in a vague sense. Trying to read into it too much probably only results in it not properly aligning. |

Regardless, I feel someone will truly die at the fault of another by the end. Well it's somewhat foolish to believe that it would be a direct retelling of piso's justice in the first place, if they are using piso's justice they are probably taking liberties with it, even at that, you could argue that both inaho and asseylum did die in the first season, or at least their intentions and ideals did, at the hands of slaine, slaine destroyed what both inaho and asseylum were trying to do at the end of S1, causing the war to spin out of control and at this point, become unstoppable without one or both sides destroyed. Also the link to odin may be true, however inaho also has a few things in common with heimdallr/heimdall as well(vision able to see 100 miles away on clear or cloudy day, has the gift of "foreknowledge", also being the guardian against the "giants"), and considering if you believe the theory of norse god hints on inaho, slaine would obviously be loki as well(the trickster, betrayer, and the one who causes "ragnarok"), heimdallr and loki kill each other in ragnarok, so there is that as well. Honestly i am undecided if i believe either theory, but they do have some compelling arguments to be made for them. |

As for Piso's justice, I don't see them addressing the question of law and it's justification. Maybe Versian's rigid view on world could qualify, but I somehow don't feel it - they're more of typical nazi and as far as nobility goes they don't seem as concerned with the idea of serving the good of their nation as Romans. I guess they just took the impressive saying and mean some vague vengeance. |

One thing i didn't think about is a problem with the odin theory, while inaho does use a sleipnir, slepnir was the son of loki, inaho is merely using a trainer version of the military mech, this in itself brings problems with them following norse mythology or at least inaho being a odin analog as this would at least imply that inaho would get an aldnoah mech, probably harklights, as it's tecnically slaine's which he gave to harklight (bonus points in that harklight's mechs specialty is funnels, slepnir has 8 legs). Honestly i think i'm overthinking this. |

Tatsuya said: Honestly i think i'm overthinking this. You totally are, but it's very interesting. I just mean that Piso's justice influence seems to not go beyond the slogan. The themes are not there at all. Maybe Inaho getting an aldnoah mech would be the big development in the end of the season, but he is OP as he is, and they push for the real mecha angle and advertise Sleipnir's design a lot. But maybe they'll make it aldnoah powered... Harlight hasn't used his mecha even once (but he hasn't switched to the knight's uniform as well), so I frankly doubt even they will kill him off so fast. |

Darklight0303 said: They're going to the moon. With three episodes left I doubt we'll see Mars. In this season presuming there is another one There's no way this is the last season, unless they go crazy and kill a bunch of characters in the last two episodes then this definitely has another one to go. Honestly there's been way too much loss on the martian side of things compared to the other two sides. Slaine hasn't lost anything (although he felt he did), Inaho only lost his friend at the very beginning and the deucalion's crew has only lost random soldiers and nothing more. The fact they suddenly just decide to introduce saazbuum's son is also suggesting that he will likely be an antagonist to deal with in the future, but I can't really see them fleshing anything on note out for him in these final few episodes. As for the ending I've changed what I think will happen slightly. I expect to see either PTSD guy, Rayet or the Captain die, and out of the 4 big players right now (x2 princess, slaine and inaho), I only expect one to survive, and it's likely that it's going to be one of the princesses, I expect the other princess, slaine and inaho to die by the end of this. It's quite likely saazbuum junior will make a move to force inaho and slaine to work together, and after that they fight each other and inaho wins but then dies to his eye. Would be kinda hilarious if that happen tbh. |

Would be kinda hilarious if that happen tbh. Yeah, I agree that one of the princesses should die. If they not antagonize, there's no reason for two to exist. If it was my decision, I'd killed Asseylum in some (finally) meaningful way, but I am afraid that it wil be Lemrina. She has some flags. Slaine may lose Harklight, if they stop care bout him and turn him into cannon fodder. Out of the Earth crew... Damn, they have been too protected. I don't think it'll be Rayet, unless they will play her martian origin card or make her sacrifice herself for a terran to underline her redemtion. Inko or Yuki are stable parts of the pseudo-harem, if they could die, they'd die long ago, but Inko is more likely to drop to give way ro Asseylum. Maybe Marito, since they have given up on his ship with Darzana. None of these deaths would be meaningful though. Persoanlly I expect them to, sadly, survive. As for the civil war - maybe the martian Vers military will make an appearance with stronger kats, since the orbital knights have more or less fallen - they can't fuel another season. Though if they will be beneficial through Asselum or on the contrary even worse, I don't know. I'd say that Slaine's camp should've been more open-minded, at least because they live near Earth, but Crokine and Mazuurek are loyal and open minded. On the other hand a third-sided war doesn't seem too realistic with Slaine seriously weakened. |

I expect to see either PTSD guy, Rayet or the Captain die, and out of the 4 big players right now (x2 princess, slaine and inaho), I only expect one to survive, and it's likely that it's going to be one of the princesses, I expect the other princess, slaine and inaho to die by the end of this. It's quite likely saazbuum junior will make a move to force inaho and slaine to work together, and after that they fight each other and inaho wins but then dies to his eye. Would be kinda hilarious if that happen tbh. Yeah, I agree that one of the princesses should die. If they not antagonize, there's no reason for two to exist. If it was my decision, I'd killed Asseylum in some (finally) meaningful way, but I am afraid that it wil be Lemrina. She has some flags. Slaine may lose Harklight, if they stop care bout him and turn him into cannon fodder. Out of the Earth crew... Damn, they have been too protected. I don't think it'll be Rayet, unless they will play her martian origin card or make her sacrifice herself for a terran to underline her redemtion. Inko or Yuki are stable parts of the pseudo-harem, if they could die, they'd die long ago, but Inko is more likely to drop to give way ro Asseylum. Maybe Marito, since they have given up on his ship with Darzana. None of these deaths would be meaningful though. Persoanlly I expect them to, sadly, survive. As for the civil war - maybe the martian Vers military will make an appearance with stronger kats, since the orbital knights have more or less fallen - they can't fuel another season. Though if they will be beneficial through Asselum or on the contrary even worse, I don't know. I'd say that Slaine's camp should've been more open-minded, at least because they live near Earth, but Crokine and Mazuurek are loyal and open minded. On the other hand a third-sided war doesn't seem too realistic with Slaine seriously weakened. Yes lemrina has the flags for sure, but I sorta expect her to survive and the other one die. Funny enough, I don't think Harklight is in any danger unless of course he turns out to be some double agent, which would be hilarious at best. As for rayet, you said what I was thinking, he sacrifices herself to avenge her father or something, inko and yuki just contribute nothing to the show, their death would be completely meaningless. Marito is actually a prime candidate, especially if he and captain hook up at some point between now and the ending. As for the civil war, one of the biggest issues is the fact the emperor seems to have been forgotten. Unless they do some grand scheme where he and Saaz junior were plotting something for some reason I can't really see how they will bring him back into the show in a non-convenient manner. It's actually quite ridiculous he's been out for so long and no one has even spoken of him, as though he's some outcast. The princess assuming command and granting it to slaine hinged on the status of the emperor, so his current omission is weighing heavily on the story. I also don't see a way they can put Saaz junior in without making it look random and sudden without using another season. The only thing I can see is a civil war in a third season, I can't really see them doing this any other way without it being an absolute disaster. |

The only thing I can see is a civil war in a third season, I can't really see them doing this any other way without it being an absolute disaster. Yep, Rayet has already had a similar moment - she saved a terran soldier, who discriminated against her earlier. Maybe that'll be the theme for her death. Marito still has some untapped potential (at least his subplot with Darzana and her brother), but they easily sacrifice older cast. If it's solved (seems unlikely) or forgotten, he is the most likely corpse. As far as I remember the translated previews which seijaur brought suggested that Cronkine is indeed an agent from the main Vers. I too don't see how they can bring in Mars at this point, but then why introduce Cronkine now. It's kinda too early for mere foreshadowing of the next season. But it is an absolute disaster in terms of writing already... To say the truth, I don't want to know about the emperor already. We're dealing with the third generation after him, and they failed to introduce him at his time - it's way too late. But in any case it's bizarre that they don't even mention him, since he is a producer of aldnoah and, as far as I understand, the founder of their messy country. Even old and marasmatic, he holds a lot of knowledge and influence. And, albeit old, he is male. The Vers should think hard about (sorry for the subject) getting some new, erm, genetic material from him to ensure the continuation of the lineage and a possible new obedient sucessor. |

The ideas of Slaine about the war are so idiotic,no there not ulterior motives behind wars just two opposite fraction that fight each other lol.And to prevent that,there has to be someone to eliminate them all and stop all the conflict. Asseylum suprised me when she tricked Slaine,didn't see that coming. |

Yeah i gave Slaine the benefit of the doubt but there's really a lot less depth to his character than i gave hin credit for. And same for God Mode Inaho. |

This is a joke , seriously this anime became a joke after the 1st season . I hope the next 3 episodes will prove that I'm wrong . Here are some reasons: 1)The OST is overused ... dramatic scene [insert X song here] , mecha fights[insert Y song here] 2)Inaho and his team have god mode ( no one dies) , my hopes to see someone dead from his friends were crushed during this episode 3)I already know how is this gonna end : Inaho wins, stops the war and gets the girl , Slaine will have a miserable death |

And they thought they could over take the Gundam franchise with this LMAO. I don't have any particular complaints right now, but with the finale right around the corner I'm skeptical that they can wrap this up in a satisfying manner. Slaine is still continuing to be an intriguing one though. Even in the face of the real Asseylum (which I have to say was an awesome twist), he is resolute to see through on his quest for dominion and his ideal world. Ironically he's doing it for the princess, but is trying to create something that Asseylum does not want. Like a bird in a cage indeed. Zarnaav said: Oh, there's an ost? I got so accustom to it that I assumed it was just background noise at this point.1)The OST is overused ... dramatic scene [insert X song here] , mecha fights[insert Y song here] |

HOLY FFFF. I thought Lemrina was trying to shoot Asseylum, but she tells her everything and gives her the gun. Lemrina is officially off of the asshole list. Stark700 said: YESSSS. that was the most satisfying 3 seconds. |

Wow, didn't expect the princesses to actually team up, even though i said as much half an hour ago when i watched the previous episode.. Well, we'll see how long that lasts. And with Cruhteo's son..guess he hasn't heard much about whats going on in Earth orbit yet, seeing how he simply thinks of Slaine as "Dr. Troyards son". Wonder how Slaine will deal with him. If the princesses get a chance to speak with him, things might get ugly for Slaine. After all, if both princess hand Crutteo over something that convinces the emperor that what he says is true, and both send the same message, like "Earth has done nothiing wrong, stop the war. Oh, and Slaine is mad, if you'd kill him we would be so happy. Love you dad".. And Slaine is slowy but surely runinng out of time anyways. He just lost 3 kataphrakts at once. Still no sign of them being able to build new ones outside of Vers. Also: Can't the princesses not simply deactivate the Aldnoah drives and lock them down/retract the right to use the Aldnoah factor from Slaine and consorts? Without kataphrakts etc. Slaine can plan all he wants and nothing will come of it. |

Am I the only one who notices what a hilariously stupid plot hole Ortygia is? So the martians have the ability of creating quantum copies of matter... let's just ignore the philosophical and moral implications that aren't' even mentioned, The Prestige did that, BUT WHY IN THE NAME OF SWEET BABY JESUS do the martians starve when they have INFINITE ENERGY AND THE EQUIVALENT OF THE BLOODY STAR TREK REPLICATOR?! |
