The fact that he spoke to her grandfather one a communication device which was connected by ever landing castle and was no doubt monitered was stupid. The fact that he thought her grandfather would believe him with no proof over any other martian while he was a terran was stupid. Also sence the martians started the war and had he said he was a defector inaho wld not have shot him down. And even if the princess was being held hostage shooting inaho wld have lead to her getting shot before he could doing anthing. Again if he had used his brain he wld know the earth forcs were not harming her otherwise they wld have made declaration of her being hostage. Saazalbum who was a smart mastermind unlike slaine wld have found a ay to spin this to is favor. Alo another big show of his brainlessness is that confused and shocked look on his face when saazalbum shot the princess when earlier he tod slaine that he would kill her. Thats what happens when u save the bad guy idiot. Saazalbum totally made slain a patsey only shame is that slaine didnt die like most patseys. He wouldnt have needed to coerce saazalbum had he used his brain and sided with he earth. Offering the Thrasis mech for research would have got him in safely. Had slaine not got ivolved in the last episode saazalbum(the biggest threat to pricess) would have been defeated and the princess would announce her survival and saazalbum betrayal. this would cause the martian forces to seperate into loyalist and seperatist. the loyalist wld side with earth forces and destory the traitors and instigators. the war would have ended with fewer earth casualties and the princess would never have been shot. Bravery without wisdom is foolhardness and that is what slaine did. I cant think of anything to admire about his character. Again his success in the 2nd season was due to saazalbum and princess in the wheel chair without them he would have nothing. Itwas obvious that the martians would b more dangerous if they were organized. Again them coming together was the princess double credit. He was love for the princess had crossed over into obsession kill everyone on earth so he could play prince and princess with a girl who he is half responsible for putting into a coma.

Killing trillam was smart i willgive you that. But after that he went from fool to idiot to crazy idiot. Slaine had lied about killing Trillram to Count Cruhteo and Count Sauzbaam, but as we all know, Sauzbaam was the conspirator behind the Princess's assassination plot, but Slaine couldn't have known that. From my point of view, the sooner he can end the war, the better. He's had history with both Assylum and her grandfather, so he thought that was enough for the emperor to believe him. It wasn't so much that many orbital knights were monitoring the communication so much that Sauzbaam was 1 step ahead of Slaine. Again, this is because Slaine couldn't trust anyone, and the longer the war drags on, the more the princess is in danger. During the incident with Inaho, Slaine couldn't trust the earth forces either, at least not after what Inaho implied. You don't have to hurt someone in order to exploit them, all the Earth forces need to do is either threaten the Princess or Edelrittuo in order to get her cooperation. The only one who could have vouched for Slaine would have been Seylum, but Inaho wasn't going to let that happen. So Slaine was doomed. When Sauzbaam gave him the choice, fight with his forces, or flee to Earth, Slaine made a logical choice. Fleeing to earth after what happened with the Deucalion is not a viable option. He would have been shot down by the earth forces. Fighting with Sauzbaam's forces was the logical choice; at the very least, they wouldn't be aiming their guns at him. When the princess was shot, Slaine did know how much he messed up. That didn't matter, what mattered was the princess's life. So Slaine did what he had to do in order to secure the life of the Princess. He knows he's taking a dark path and he knows that either way, it isn't going to end well for him, but he knows he has to. We've all made mistakes in our lives; some earthshattering, and others not so much. Hindsight is always 20/20, but I digress. You've clearly made your point and your stance, and I respect that. I'm just trying to shed a little light into Slaine's thought process and circumstance, so we'll agree to disagree. :)
