Slaine is very similar to Kururugi Suzaku from Code Geass. Very talanted pilot, owns the best mecha (even the colors and overall shape match lol) and worked his way up from random nobody to the "hero" fighting for the good cause (from his perspective anyways) in order to protect the one he loves. His ignorance to how wrong his cause of action is also reminds me of Suzaku.

Inaho is more like Zero/Lelouch. Genius in strategy and tactics, excellent planning skills, fast thinker and has a special left eye (Zero had his Geass on his left eye too). Only difference is that Inaho's talents are more tactic- focused rather than being a genius commander and him having better control over his emotions than Zero has.

Slaine will lose to Inaho though since his ability to plan ahead is seriously lacking, he gets off track waaaay too easily when he gets emotional. As long as he is calm and has his goal right in front of him, he is an unstoppable one-man army. But as soon as he gets thrown in a situation where he doesn't know what he is meant to do, he is easily led astray. We saw that happen in the last episode of season 1. The events on the UE base in Russia let his belief in which side is right waver and then he took hold of the first thing that sounded somewhat reasonable- Saazbaum's speech during his battle against Inaho.
