Aldnoah Zero - ep13&14

This week Aldnoah Zero's second truly begins since last week was more of an epilogue for the previous season telling the end result of some of the charters fates. While also revealing that those we thought were dead are not as dead as the first appeared. Saazbaum wasn't exucted by Slaine in the end because he needed his authority to get Asseylum the critical care that she needs to save her life. Which is a degree is ironic since he goal the entire time was to kill her. Then with Asseylum in a coma she is alive but is no-longer a threat to their goals. Then lastly you would assume that at least Inaho would have to be dead since he was shot in the face but the only damage that did was cause him to lose an eye. That with his return it appears that with his robotic eye, he is more effective than before.

The real action begins this week with the coming space. Although as each side is gathering it's forces for the coming battle, there are some politic issue being addressed. Such as Inaho using his new eye to reveal that Asseylum that has been broadcasting is a fake by her voice pattern changing when she is saying her name. Which indicates to Inaho that she is lying about who she is the question is when and how will Inaho will be able to use this information to his advantage. Then as things turn out that Inaho is correct he just doesn't know who is impersonating her. It turns out that the impersonator is her own sister, that she aids Saazbaum because of her hatred for her royal linage because she is the bastard child of the king.

That with the introduction of Lemrina you have beginning of more political plots with everyone having their own agenda. Slaine doesn't care about the end result of anything just that Asseylum is safe, that he probably prefers that she stays asleep until everything has ended. Saazbaum is planning another coup because as thing are even if they are able to seize the earth the people will still suffer and nothing will have changed. That ultimately what need to change is the system itself, this leads to the fact that the king is dying and believe that when he dies Asseylum will take over. Although in truth when she does it will be Lemrina in power and not Assylum. Then there is Lemrina plans where she intents to take everything Asseylum has and toward this end what she desires most is Slaine. That it is likely that Asseylum will only remain alive as long as she stays in her coma, that if she ever wakes Lemrina will have her kill.

Then with the politic grandstanding done thing move onto the battle, which Inaho dominates once again. That this is only a skirmish that is foretelling what will happen the the real battle begins. However Inaho's dominance is quickly ended when Slaine intercepts Inaho. Now Slaine and Inaho have their reunion. That in this battle the each reveal a little bit to one another. On Inaho's side he is declaring to Slaine that he is still alive and that he is coming to repay the favor. While with Slaine he has revealed the ability of his machine to Inaho. The it predicts enemy fire and dodges according however this could be used against him by predicting how he will dodge so that he will move into enemy fire. The question is how will this be done, it is likely when next they meet Slaine is going to get what coming to him but he will not die. Although things might be more complicate since it appears that Saazbaum will have his machine for the next battle. This means that Inaho will have to deal with at least two enemies at once. Which means when these two bases cross the real show will begin.
