The 12th and final episode of Aldnoah.Zero 2, titled “Inherit the Stars,” is currently streaming on Crunchyroll and Hulu for paid subscribers
Free subscribers can watch the same episode six days from now on April 4th
Slaine Troyard’s world is crumbling down thanks to the combined efforts of Inaho Kaizuka and Princess Asseylum
S—t has hit the fan when Asseylum has announced Count Klancain Cruhteo to be her husband
which puts a wrench in Slaine’s plans
I was shocked that Slaine decided to have everybody abandon the moonbase and surrender to the UFE
I had a “holy s—t” moment when Slaine chose to self-destruct the moonbase
It was a shocking and touching moment when some of the people chose to remain by Slaine regardless
which proves that he is an inspiring leader trying to improve life on Vers
This leads to the final ultimate battle between Inaho Kaizuka and Slaine Troyard
The final episode shows the ultimate space battle that I have been longing for since the beginning
where three exciting battles erupt simultaneously
Inaho ultimately proves that he is the true bad@$$ of Aldnoah.Zero by choosing to descend into Earth’s atmosphere with Slaine
where it becomes an inverted version of deja vu
The end of the first season had Inaho staring down the barrel of Slaine’s gun
That is why Inaho’s left eye is replaced by a cybernetic version complete with sentient AI
where Earth and a majority of Vers have reached a peace agreement
It was unnerving and unsurprising that Slaine was incarcerated for the rest of his life
while the rest of the world believes that he is dead
This reminds me of the ending to the second season of XIII
where former US President Ben Carrington is held in a secret base as the rest of the world believed he perished in a major battle
All the “Inaho X Seylum” fans will be disappointed that the two of them didn’t hook up
I’m perfectly fine with that because I didn’t expect the two of them to hook up
They were on the level of between close friends and platonic friends
Inaho doesn’t strike me as being the romantic type even though Seylum had feelings for him
who is romantically unavailable and detached
That also means neither Inko nor Rayet have a chance with Inaho either
I was disappointed because I didn’t see any interaction between Inaho and Lemrina through the series
which I strongly felt would have been interesting
I was also wondering what happened to Lemrina after she was evacuated before the final battle
I am glad to have watched the entire Aldnoah.Zero series
I didn’t know what to make of the series because it reminded me of Mobile Suit Gundam
This made me think of a military version of Patlabor
The concept of an intergalactic battle can be cliched
I originally thought that Inaho was a “Gary Stu” because he effectively defeated all the Orbital Knights he had come across
but his personality flaws served as an effective counterbalance to keep him “believable.”
One of the reasons that I’m glad Inaho didn’t hook up with anybody let alone Seylum was that it would have ultimately ruined his character
Inaho is somewhat of a lonely character in my eyes because he looks at things different compared to the rest of his peers
It is believed that Inaho suffers from high-level autism or Asperger’s Syndrome
He never showed any romantic affection towards Seylum
which means that he is a terrible romantic partner
Inaho stands strong on his own two feet for that reason
When you look beyond the storyline, Aldnoah.Zero presented valuable lessons
I got behind Aldnoah.Zero because of the combat
which related to me because of my martial arts background
Earth is at a disadvantage against the technological superiority of Vers’ Orbital Knights
but Inaho took the time to discern their weaknesses
It made me think of Judo and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu
which emphasize superior technique over sheer force
The Orbital Knights depended too much on their superiority
which made them arrogant and incredibly vulnerable
Inaho ultimately came on top be he “respected their game,” but didn’t receive the same “respect” in return
Slaine sets himself up as an effective tragic antihero for Aldnoah.Zero 2
I was surprised to see how much Slaine has “grown” since Aldnoah.Zero
where he was constantly treated as “less than human” because of his Earth heritage
It is obvious that he became the villain in Aldnoah.Zero 2
but you have to respect Slaine for trying to change everything from within
but he would have lost and it would have made him look like a terrorist
Plus it would have turned Vers’ attention on Earth again because of Slaine’s heritage
can you blame Slaine for doing what he believed was noble and just
He wanted to make things better for everybody on Vers
but understood the near-impossible challenge
You have to remember that Seylum was in a two-year coma after being shot a few times by Lord Saazbaum
I could go as far to compare Slaine to Lelouch Rampouge
the titular protagonist of Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion
Lelouch had his work cut out because he was trying to change things within the Britannian Empire and secretly running the rebellion at the same time
The ending of Aldnoah.Zero 2 does leave an opening for a third season
what happens when Aldnoah’s original owners return to Mars
