Slaine, worst character of 2014?

TheIMF said:
I like how Slaine making one mistake in the heat of the moment makes him stupid, even though he's been going at it alone since pretty much the start, playing off both sides of the war.

Darklight0303 said:


All he has made are mistakes. This is just the last drop.

TheIMF said:


At least Slaine is not a massive Gary Stu like Inaho who manages to suck out all the tension in the show. Slaine isn't aligned with either side of the war, he simply did what he had to to get to Asseylum. He didn't have the luxury of allies.

Darklight0303 said:

I'm not even going to bother restating why Inaho was not a Gary Stu since you clearly won't accept it.

As for Slaine, now the Princess is dead. So he's got no motivation to pull his leash anymore. He's a character dead in the water. Putting all of your eggs in one basket is the best way to make sure they all break.

Slaine is not a character. He is a dog to be used and kicked and manipulated into doing the bidding of whoever holds his leash.

I will say it clearly slaine is the most idiotic and unnecessary character in the whole animeverse .

first i liked inaho "brain beats muscles" good strategies and excellent implementing ,but i knew he would die (too much risks which caused too much gains).
on the other hand the princess was almost the main character - i wanted to see her live - she was hiding all the time BUT slain comes and locate her to the enemy to add more he save the person declaring her an enemy, slain is soooo~ MAD that he dont know who is foe.

i don't hate slain for killing inaho,as inaho had 1000% chance off killing him 2 times.if you'll argue i will say he can do a surprise attack when he told him not to go near the princess, but inaho wanted to die because the one he loved is dead by the hand bat.

if there is anybody making slain haters club i will join gladly
GO TO HELL slain.

Am I the only one who actually disliked the princess? she was so freaking annoying at times with all the "hurr durr peace" bullshit.

Even though it was a needed character in this story probably I dislike her more than slaine. Slaine was a well built character, although in season 2 I hope he gets a stick up his butthole.

This is some of the stupidest shit I've read in a while. Human beings, especially teenagers, are emotional creatures. Expecting people to react logically in situations like that is retarded. Not everyone is a piece of cardboard like Inaho.

AppoX said:
Slaine is best character in this anime, mostly due to him getting rid of the Worst character - Inaho-faggot-Gary Stu-kun

I don't really understand all the hate against Slaine... he is way better written than Inaho (which is quite simply an emotionless 'genius' wannabe Kirito.... All there is to his character really, for the past 12 episodes Inaho showed no emotion or character development =,=) God even the cliche Princess is a lot better than Inaho >,>

Darklight0303 said:

Better written. Your standards must be REALLY low if you genuinely believe that

TheIMF said:


Slaine is easily much better written than Inaho, which isn't much of an accomplishment seeing as Inaho has about the depth of of a teaspoon.

Whereas Slaine plays off both sides of the war, interacting with Orbital Knights, Count Cruhteo and Saazbaum, Inaho was busy leading his harem through one effortless battle after another, despite being fresh out of military academy with no experience to speak of and hopelessly outgunned.

Inaho is so ridiculously efficient it's like he's a Gary Stu parody. Battles that could have been intense are made boring. Opportunities to highlight those around him simply serve to make everyone artificially stupid so that Inaho looks all the more better.

The guy is am absolute bore.

Slaine doesn't operate as the same cold pragmatism and he is the better character for it. He humanises the enemy and brought their perspective into view, his suffering makes it easy to sympathise with him and his strength to keep moving onward makes him admirable.

Inaho hasn't struggled, he just breezes on through sucking out all the tension and potential out of the show.

Darklight0303 said:

Once again I can't help but be concerned that you consider's slaine retardation as a standard for a human character.

Savethebestforu said:


I really hate going through and looking at user's favorite animes for reference if I have a disagreement with them, but out of everyone in the forums you seem like the most livid about Inaho's death. Your taste in anime explains it all. Literally every anime in your top 5 are shounens. I don't think you will ever change your mind if Fairy Tail and AoT are in your top 5 animes. I'm not bashing your taste because everyone likes what they like and who cares if someone tells them different. Hell, even I love Pandora Hearts. But your emotional reaction to what Slaine did is understandable now.

Darklight0303 said:

You hate to do that yet you still do it. Hypocrites like yourself are always such fun to add to my ignore list

TheIMF said:

Inaho, the wunderkind that takes out orbital knights with little to no effort, is not a Gary Stu? You're not convincing anyone of that.

The Princess only appears to be dead.

lol @ the last hate filled line.

TheIMF said:


You understand that humans are inherently flawed, right? Slaine is not perfect, he is not infallible, he makes mistakes and suffers the consequences. The "retardation" you're referring to is just plain stupid.

Inaho is boring because he isn't like normal people. He doesn't make mistake, he is infallible, and that's why he is a boring character.

Humans are flawed yes but they don't walk from disaster to disaster with every move they make. Again if your definitiion of humanity was Slaine as a Standard, we would all be extinct by now.

Raziel1991 said:

No he is right. Saving Saazbaum when your objective was to save the princess is just plain retarded.

TheIMF said:


Yes, they do lol. That happens all the time.

But it's just circles with you, isn't it? You're mad af because Slaine didn't act in the most rational, logical and pragmatic way he could have, when that is inherently contradictory to humans. Much as we like to pretend we don't, we are ruled by our emotions when they're strong enough, and in the heat of the moment, we sometimes make choices we will later regret. Slaine obviously regrets saving Saazbaum, he's aware he is partly to blame for Asseylum getting shot, it's not as though he doesn't realise this.



Saazbaum saved and freed Slaine whenever everyone else was trying to kill him. He had a snap decision to make, help Orange, the guy who betrayed him and prevented him from reuniting with the princess, and Saazbaum, a man he had an understanding with.

He obviously chose wrong, but that's the thing about snap decisions, you're not afforded all the time in the world to consider all your options and factors. You do what feels right in the heat of the moment and the consequences will be what they will.

The only ones retarded the pair of you morons that fail to see things from anyone else's perspective but your own.

They're not the standard. They are rarities damaged in the head and unable to learn from their mistakes

deadoptimist said:


But why can't we have one of these as a MC in AZ? There're rarer things acting as leads in anime.

Raziel1991 said:
TheIMF, what you are telling me is is that Slaine is a person with an exremly short attention span who cant focus on any goal and that his "loyalty" to princess meant jack shit. And by the way Inaho did not betray Slaine in episode 7. Slaine pointed his turrets at Inaho first and you can clearly see Slaine shooting Inaho a fraction of a second before Inaho does. So in other words, you are just telling me that Slaine is just a another dumb generic overemotional mecha protagonist that is constantly doing stupid shit and fucking things up for everyone, even the one he wants so much to protect. Also believe it or not, humans may be emotional beings they are also rational beings, if they wouldnt,human society would not be the way it is now and Slaine has proven that he is completly incapable of any kind of rational thought.

And now you are resorting to insulting other people here on this board that do not share the same opinion as you do? Thats quite pathetic.

TheIMF said:


Slaine saved the Terran's collectives asses before he trained his guns on Inaho. It was Inaho that actually shot him down and left him there. That wasn't a smart, calculated movie, it was fucking stupid.

I see reason and logic are wasted on you though, so carry on.

Darklight0303 said:
Except they aren't. Though Slaine is an extreme version to the point that any series he would be the MC of would only end in tragedy.

deadoptimist said:


Why? We see much less common types in anime. There're the chosen ones of different kinds, demons, angels, yandere and whatnot. Why can't this series have an overly emotional impulsive guy as a MC? There're even people like that in real life.

Darklight0303 said:
YOu really haven't watched much Mecha series if you think Slaine is a rare breed >_>

I haven't. But you really make it sound as though he is something special.

Raziel1991 said:


Of course Inaho shot him. Slaine pointed his turrets at Inaho first and shot him first. Why should Inaho NOT shoot him? Also there is no reason for Inaho to trust someone who sides with the martians. As far as he knows he might just try to earn the trust of the terrans in order to backstab the princess. But yes I agree, leaving him there was stupid. Inaho should have killed Slaine back there.

Darklight0303 said:


No. Slaine is your typical cliche Mecha protagonist only taken to extremes beyond even the worst specimens of that trope

Darklight0303 said:

What part of Slaine pointed the turret first and fired the first shot don't you get?

TheIMF said:


He aimed them, he didn't fire. Inaho was the one to open fire and leave him there. The Terrans could have easily gone back to get him, but they just left him there.

Slaine didn't fire his weapons though, how can you be so obtuse about that?

Inaho prattled his logic about trusting Rayet because she was fighting against Martians the very next episode after she tried to kill Asseylum. Where was that logic when Slaine showed up to save their asses? He shot him down and didn't even think to go back for him when he was disarmed.

Inaho deserved to get this stupid ass capped for that alone.
