Aldnoah.Zero S2 Episode 20: That was fast

Has Asseylum’s memory returned already? I guess we’re getting into the final episodes, so I shouldn’t be too surprised, but it almost makes the memory loss unnecessary. Also, it feels like Slaine is a walking flag dispenser. When he talked about the impossibility symbolized by the blue rose, the princess awoke. Now when he’s praying that she never regains her memory, her memory returns. That guy is literally Murphy’s Law incarnate. It’s also funny because his Kataphrakt gives him the ability to see into the future.

So what will Asseylum do now that she remembers her “death”? Will she confront Slaine with the knowledge or keep it to herself to figure out what’s going on around her? She doesn’t seem the deceptive type, but I would personally prefer that she keep it to herself. I guess we’ll find out next week, though. There were a couple of more interesting scenes this week. The first was the scene with Inaho clutching his eye in pain. A downside of using it too much or a cost for having the eye in the first place? The other was the final scene with Lemrina. While she was shocked to find the empty tube, it almost looked like she realized something at the very end. Maybe she knows that Slaine betrayed her?
