I'm about to watch the second season but I must say after the first season its gonna be hard to forgive Slaine. Now I will agree Slaine doesn't seem dumb, but he does seem to be lacking any control over his emotions, which in turn clouds common sense. Meanwhile Inaho is emotionless because he is an autistic character, so its more so he just has a harder time expressing himself emotionally than other characters. Inaho I love and its great to have a character that is 'wired' a bit differently.

Now when Inaho shot Slaine down the first time I actually say that was in Inaho's right, he was already developing emotions for Seylum at that point AND the princess didn't really point out that there was a Terran that could possibly think shes alive. But there was the fact that Slaine wasn't answering any of Inaho's questions either, since he wanted to see if he could be trusted. (Meanwhile Slaine is kinda throwing a fit thinking Inaho can't be trusted) Considering the princess was in his custody, I think Slaine should of actually answered so he could see his beloved princess but instead he doesn't answer Inaho painly enough, and Inaho, making a logical decision, shoots him down but without killing him. (Since Inaho probably could of killed him I say he was nice enough to let him live) And then near the end I was wondering wtf was Slaine's problem, like you just shot the man than protected your princess, considering it was his negligence that got her nearly killed. Slaine KNEW, Saazbaum would probably kill her, he got to here the entire backstory. HELL HE GOT A CHANCE TO FLEE and actually go look for her and fight along he side. But he didn't take the chances or even listen to what the man was saying. Saazbaum had went crazy after he fiance died, he was basically venting out his emotions. Slaine at least should of know that Saazbaum would will his princess. But he got too into his emotions, sympathizing, and that got the princess killed.

To me this is turning into fucking Gundam Seed/Gundam Seed Destiny without the friendship backstory and actually half decent writing.

As I watch the second season I can only hope Slaine will learn from his mistakes, but if this is anything like Gundam Seed, this is gonna be a fucking long, painful, ride.

Slaine is a cool guy, but most of this seems to be because of his incapability of shoving him emotions to the side for his princess, yes he is 16, so is inaho, I adore inaho, he is very relatable to me because I think sort of like he does. I think Slaine would of been a better character if he wasn't so impulsive and emotionally driven.
