68.224.91.76 I think that slaine should have questioned why inaho didnt kill when inaho has had defeated martian knight mechas while aircrft was only little bit better than a earth fighter plane. Inaho shooting out a engine is like when a character shoots out a persons tire instead of shooting them dead because they don't know if they are friend or foe. And I am not sure that helping the guy who tried and is still trying to kill the person you want to protect is natural. I have never seen such a choice ever been made in any other anime,book, or TV show. The lunar handled transmissons from earth to mars not from martian castle to castle as proved in the second season. The tranmission would have reached the martians on earth and at the time those were the ones that needed to be split. And I was saying if inaho had been able to kill(had slaine not got in the way in ep 12) saazalbum they could have sent the message. And in episode 7 Inaho was doing the answer a question with a question which apparantly went over slaine's head. That whole question routine was obviously to figure out slaine's goal and where his loyality lies. And even if Inaho was a villian slaine's action would have only made things worse for the princess. A small fighter against a battleship plus earth mechas his actions would have been fruitless. Slaine is a person of instinct unfortunately his instinct is not good while Inaho is one who thinks ahead like a chess player. Inaho was defiantly the best character. And my biggest point in the last post is that slaine's big plan that he thought would help asseylum would give her even more enemies and put her in even more danger. There was no way earth would go down without a fight continuing the fight would only destory a great amount of the resources the martians need. And the promise of a suppstantial amount of resources is the only thing keeping the martian commoners from going feral against the nobility. The best option was to get a alliance between the princess between the princess and earth. The loyal knights would stand behind her. If he was really was as concerned for the martian commoners continually fight on the earth is not going to help. More than likely if the earth thought they going to lose they would hoard resources under ground and torch the rest. The situation on mars seems dire and in a war of food atrition the martians would lose.
