Addition: Now that I finished the anime, I still don't know what to do with Slaine. His character arc in the second season is definitely better than in the first season (where he was basically a glorified version of a bodyguard with a crush and I still don't like S1-Slaine) but somehow his whole character development (becoming this cunning and observing mastermind) happened in the 19 off-screen months which is not a good thing to do because it feels a lot like a leap in character instead of a gradual development. Also his sudden motivations to conquer Earth sort of seemed to come out of nowhere. That said I kind of do appreciate villain!Slaine and I found his scenes to be a lot more entertaining than whatever was happening on Earth/with Inaho.
