Asskicking Leads To Leadership is the new name of the trope.


* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: He's the leader of the pro-war conspiracy within the Vers Empire, and their deadliest warrior. Of course, [[AsskickingEqualsAuthority Orbital Knights are expected to be capable fighters in order to justify their position]], but Saazbaum just goes beyond.

While we can use redirects like All Loving Heroine and When He Smiles, we're not supposed to edit trope names like that. Off Model also is no longer a trope.


* [[WhenSheSmiles When He Smiles]]: Subverted. The very first time we see a smile creeping across Inaho's lips, it's [[spoiler: when he's about to be shot at by Slaine]], and it's a cold, bitter, almost malevolent looking one. Coming from someone who otherwise never shows emotion, it's ''terrifying''.

Added DiffLines:

* LogicalWeakness: Uniquely amongst the Martian Kataphracts shown in Season 1, {{Defied|Trope}} -- the Deucalion's GravityMaster powers have no obvious downsides, which allowed it to practically steam-roll through the forces sent to oppose it. It was only destroyed when it suffered a mechanical failure during the Heaven's Fall that left it vulnerable to lunar debris.


Added DiffLines:

* LogicalWeakness: Mazurek's Sirenum uses spheres to manipulate gravity, allowing it to generate a tornado for offense and defense. This leaves it vulnerable to attacks from ''directly above it'', meaning that once Narito and Yuki mark it as a target for the ''Deucalion'', it goes down in two hits.


Added DiffLines:

* LogicalWeakness: Selnakis' Solis uses laser cannons that can hit anything he can see, but being lasers, they can't hit targets over the horizon. He's ultimately done in by artillery shells that he can't retaliate against.


Added DiffLines:

* LogicalWeakness: The Herschel's drones allow it to attack from multiple directions at once, which makes it a hard counter for the Tharsis, as being able to see the future is useless if you can't focus. However, this means that the Herschel needs to have enough room for its drones to maneuver to capitalize on this strength. Once Slaine lures him into a tunnel, the drones become sitting ducks, and after Slaine cuts them down, Marylcian only has one gun to defend himself with.

* HollywoodDateless: She's an attractive woman but can't seem to land a date despite her best efforts, which Magbaredge continually lectures her for. This becomes a RunningGag between the two: Mizusaki suggests a plan of action, Magbaredge then criticizes her about why she can't get a date. Magbaredge has identified several personality flaws in her that include not being punctual, being too [[BrutalHonesty brutally honest]] in her opinions, and being unwilling to take risks when it comes to looking for a boyfriend.

[[quoteright:311:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/853f85f89e4bed06487b9ae84889922e.jpg]]

-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/ShiinaNatsukawa (Japanese), Creator/KiraBuckland (English)

Introduced in Season 2. Another princess of Mars who is working with Slaine and Saazbaum by disguising herself as Asseylum, thanks to holographic illusions. While disguised, she sends messages to drum up Martian support for Saazbaum's cause. She is an illegitimate daughter of Emperor Gilzeria, making her Asseylum's half-sister.
----
* BastardBastard: An illegitimate daughter of the throne and heavily resentful of her sister.
* BodyDouble - ElCidPloy: Lemina disguises herself as her comatose half-sister in order to make radio broadcasts to the Martians, telling them to attack Earth.
* BodyguardCrush: She seems to have developed one on Slaine, if [[spoiler: the kiss on the lips that she gave him]] is an indication. [[spoiler: Taken further when she announces she's going to marry him at the end of Episode 18 after he defeats Marylcian in a duel.]]
* TheGloriousWarOfSisterlyRivalry: Lemrina (Smart Sister) resents Asseylum (Pretty Sister) since she is an illegitimate child while Asseylum is the "official" Martian Princess, and seeks to replace her as she works with Saazbaum and Slaine as Asseylum's BodyDouble.
* GreenEyedMonster: While she has some respect for Asseylum, she also holds some resentment towards her sister, as the latter is very well known, gets to enjoy life somewhat and see things for herself. Meanwhile Lemrina's existence is minimized to the point that only a few Martians are even aware of her existence, and she's largely restricted to a wheelchair.
* {{Hidden Backup Prince}}ss: She appears to be this, largely unknown to Vers society and confined to the Moon base just in case the Vers military needs someone who can activate Aldnoah in a pinch.
* IllGirl: She's confined to a wheelchair but seemingly isn't completely paraplegic as she can walk in low gravity.
* NotSoDifferent: Slaine tries to present himself as being in the same boat as Lemrina after she deactivates his Kataphrakt. At first it seems to work, as Lemrina stops being obstructive towards him and even helps him out on some of his plans. But later on she starts to get upset when she suspects he's just using her for her authority, as well as getting closer to Asseylum.
* PullTheThread: In a conversation with Slaine in episode 21, she asks how her sister's condition is. Slaine tells her Asseylum is still in critical condition, and that they should leave it to the medical staff. [[spoiler:However this is after she sees with her own eyes that Asseylum is no longer in her chamber, proving that he's been lying to her.]]
* RememberTheNewGuy: There was no indication there was another Martian princess before Season 2; this is justified in story by Lemrina being a royal bastard and needing a wheelchair. It's later revealed that she's a tightly kept secret, with only a very small number of personnel on the Moon base even knowing of her existence.
* ReplacementGoldfish: Lemrina is taught by Slaine about Earth and even has Eddelritou as an assistant, just like Asseylum once was. But it's heavily deconstructed as Lemrina is actively trying to replace the beloved Asseylum in people's lives, along with Slaine's.
* TheResenter:
** Towards her older sister. By episode 20, she really starts to get bitter towards Asseylum, due to Slaine's obsession with her. She also starts to suspect he's just using her for her power and authority to get closer to Asseylum as well.
** She eventually begins to feel this way about Slaine as well, due to him not spending much time with her, his obsession with Asseylum, making her continually act in her sister's place, and the runaround answers he keeps giving her when she tries to ask things more specific than "how goes the war?" [[spoiler:As a result of this, she tells Asseylum everything she knows that's happened since her coma, along with Slaine having turned into a completely different person.]]
* SickBedSlaying: Narrowly subverted. She goes to her sister's unconscious body and starts turning off the life support while telling her how how she (Asseylum) will be replaced. Lemrina backs out at the last minute and restores the life support, stating that while Asseylum is a puppet, she's also her sister. [[spoiler:In episode 19, she wonders if her doing this caused Asseylum's condition to change. Slaine claims her condition changed, implying it's for the worse, when in fact it's the opposite.]]
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Unlike other major characters, we never see her in the final moments of the show. The last scene we saw of her is when she left the Lunar Base.

-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/DaisukeHirakawa (Japanese), Ben Pronsky (English)

Slaine's personal servant, after his promotion to an Orbital Knight.
----
* MyMasterRightOrWrong: He is so loyal to Slaine that he refuses the last order given to him to abandon the moonbase and stop fighting per Asseylum's orders.
* NotSoDifferent: Like Slaine, he too has suffered lousy treatment by the upper-class society of Vers due to his low-born status. He's even okay with Slaine using underhanded moves in order to secure his status and post, going so far as to strip Martian knights of their status with trumped up charges if they refuse to obey and follow him.
* RagsToRoyalty: In episode 19, Slaine gives him a personal Kataphrakt for his undying loyalty.
* SecretKeeper: He's one of a handful of personnel on the Moon base who is aware of Lemrina's existence, and goes to great pains to make sure she stays a secret.
* UndyingLoyalty: Respects Slaine immensely, and seems to be his sole confidant [[spoiler: in his plan to kill Saazbaum]]. Even after Asseylum makes her surprise announcement to end hostilities, [[spoiler:he along with several other Martians, instead go out in a blaze of glory in a last ditch attack against the Deucalion.]]

[[folder:Yacoym]]

-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/KatsuyukiOkitsu

A VERS Baron introduced in the second season premiere. He pilots the Elysium Kataphrakt.
----

* AnIcePerson: It seems like this at first, but not really: his machine's reverse entropy field is actually collecting the kinetic energy caused by motion and storing it in a pocket dimension. The freezing is just a byproduct of that, explaining why the United Earth's squad's de-icing machines were useless.
* GlassCannon: The Elysium can project a seemingly impassable field that rapidly freezes opponents and ammo within a one kilometer radius... and that's it. Aside from that, it's slow, not very mobile, has very low defenses and no means of attack or defense.
* GracefulLoser: He compliments Inaho right before the latter kills him.
* HarmlessFreezing: Averted.
* OhCrap: He reacts this way as Inaho starts to close the distance.
* StarterVillain: For Season 2.

[[quoteright:225:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/171f4654a5c19b1d214df3150b869977.jpg]]

-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/ToshiyukiToyonaga (Japanese), Creator/RobbieDaymond (English)

A Versian Knight holding a position in North Africa, Mazurek is a reluctant participant in the Orbital Knights' invasion. Although he is duty-bound to aid in the attack on Earth, he'd be happier learning to live ''with'' the Terrans in his landing castle's territory instead of conquering and oppressing them.
----
* {{Adorkable}}: He's young, handsome, at times endearingly naive, and, most important, not [[CardCarryingVillain as blatantly evil]] as most other Martians, which makes him an EnsembleDarkhorse.
* BlowYouAway: His Kataphrakt utilizes this attack to deflect any incoming attack headed his way. [[spoiler:Unfortunately for him, while it's great for stopping attacks on someone fighting him on level ground, it doesn't protect him against a vertical attack launched from above.]]
* CripplingOverspecialization: His Kataphrakt is unbeatable when confronted on ground and it causes enemies to pass out from lack of oxygen. [[spoiler:Of course creating a giant funnel overhead means that someone in the sky can easily hit him]].
* NotSoDifferent: Inaho finds out that he's not hellbent on destroying Earth like some of the other Martian knights appear to be. [[spoiler:He also finds out Mazuurek enjoys studying Earth and its culture, and only attacked because of his obligations as a knight.]]
* PullTheThread: He manages to get an audience with Princess Asseylum, and relates his story of having been captured to her, and asking about her time on Earth. She tells him about her time there, and paints it in a negative light. [[spoiler:This contradicts everything Inaho told him about Asseylum, proving him right when he claimed this Asseylum is an imposter. He then conveniently manages to have his ship break down near Slaine's landing castle shortly after Slaine left, manages to find Eddelrittuo, and find the place the real Asseylum is at.]]
* PunchClockVillain: He doesn't really have any interest in attacking Earth, nor does he feel any hatred towards Earthlings. In fact, he greatly respects Earth and its culture and would rather not fight at all unless specifically ordered to.
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: His name is derived from a [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mazurka traditional Polish dance]], which is spelled exactly this way in Polish, and the most subs use this spelling. On the other hand, the Japanese narration clearly says "Mazurka", which is a name of the dance that is normally used outside of Poland and is actually more popular around the world.
* TokenGoodTeammate: He laments having to attack Earth, and doesn't want to burn it to the ground like some of the more radical knights. [[spoiler:After Inaho finds out his loyalty lies with Asseylum, and like her, wanted a peaceful relationship with Earth, he helps Mazuurek escape prison to become a ReverseMole to find where she's at, and to help Inaho find out what Slaine's motives are.]]

-->'''Voiced by:''' Hiromichi Tezuka

An Orbital Knight who was one of the first to attack earth when war was declared. His castle landed in New Orleans, USA, and was the one to destroy the undersea communication cables. He pilots the Martian Kataphrakt Solis.
----
* AGodAmI: He's quite emphatic about the powers of his Kataphrakt.
-->--'''Count Selnakis''': Bow down before the might of the gods.
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: For the Orbital Knights. His first act on earth is to easy destroy the Terran resistance, while monologuing about his superiority.
* FantasticRacism: To the Terrans.
-->--'''Count Selnakis''': "Stupid Primitives"
* FrickinLaserBeams: His Kataphrakt's power is a high powered laser mounted on the head.
* HollywoodScience: Averted: The laser the Kataphrakt Solis uses is very realistic. It is impossible to dodge, has no apparent recoil, and can only fire in a straight line. The last one is how they defeat it.
* HomingLasers: Averted: Soli's beams can only fire in a straight line. This means that the Deucalion can use it's artillery to bombard them over the horizon.
* StoicSpectacles: Selnakis is one of the more unemotional knights.

[[quoteright:178:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/50f715b888ef34a42cf5f452251e0359.png]]

-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/SusumuChiba (Japanese), Creator/DerekStephenPrince (English)

One of the VERS knights introduced in season 2 who holds great contempt for Slaine.
----
* AllYourBaseAreBelongToUs: He attempts this when challenging Slaine in combat for the right to be the caretaker of the moon base and Princess Asseylum. However, he loses, and all of his assets, such as his landing castle and Kataphrakt, are then transferred to Slaine, inverting the trope.
* AssholeVictim: Considering his combative attitude towards Slaine, he could be considered one, even in light of everything Slaine had done to help out the VERS Empire.
* AttackDrone: The Herschel deploys a [[BeamSpam large number of remote-controlled laser cannons]].
* BeamSpam: His drones fire a lot of these. Even Slaine's Tharsis has difficulty evading them due to the sheer number of shots being fired.
* CurbStompBattle: Subverted when he fights Slaine. At first, it seems like he is going to destroy Slaine with his mech's massive amount of weaponry that even the Tharsis can't predict, but Slaine manages to trick him into entering an area that makes him waste most of his weapons. Immediately after, Slaine kills him almost instantly.
* DeathInAllDirections: His main plan to defeat the Tharsis's future sight ability is to hit it from all around at once, negating his enemy's advantage. Unfortunately for him, Slaine quickly found a way to trap his drones in a one-way tunnel and destroy them altogether.
* FantasticRacism: Shares this trait with all other racist Martians.
* LawOfChromaticSuperiority: Marylcian's Herschel is virtually all-red, and with its AttackDrones is [[{{Expy}} far more similar structurally to the]] [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamCharsCounterattack Sazabi]] than Slaine's own Tharsis. [[SubvertedTrope This is definitively subverted]], however, since [[WrongGenreSavvy Marylcian is not the]] CharClone of this series.
* ThrownOutTheAirlock: Slaine cuts his cockpit open, leaving Marylcian to die in space.
* UngratefulBastard: Some random Terran schlub saved Count Saazbaum, defeated many of our enemies, took out an entire spacebase on his own, and got adopted into the VERS knight ranks after repeatedly proving his loyalty to the VERS Empire? Sounds like I need to challenge him in combat and show him his place!

Introduced with Marylcian, another knight who cares little for Slaine's Earthborn heritage. He pilots the Octantis Kataphrakt.
----
* KillerYoYo: His Kataphrakt uses a pair of razor-sharp spinning discs on wires.
* NumberTwo: Was this to Marylcian, at least until the latter died.
* ProfessionalButtKisser: Almost as soon as Marylcian bit the dust, he wasted no time in sucking up to get into Slaine's good graces and his rising power.
* SpinToDeflectStuff: His yo-yos can also block shots by spinning really fast.

-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/HitomiNabatame (Japanese), Creator/AmandaCelineMiller (English)
A VERS Baroness and member of the kataphract trio that attacks the Deucalion. She pilots the ''Scandia''.
----
* TheArcher: The ''Scandia'' use explosive arrows so enemies can't trace the shots back to her.
* BoringButPractical: Explosive arrows are rather mundane compared to other Martians' arsenal, but they get job done admirably.
* CombiningMecha: Briefly combines with the Elektris during the assault on the Deucalion. This makes it even harder to fight, as the Elektris' attacks remove smoke from the air, rendering both kataphracts invisible and ''invincible''.
* CrazyPrepared: Not only does her kataphract have both perfect camouflage and a perfectly silent weapons system, it even has the ability to dock with another kataphract that can eliminate one of its other weaknesses. The only reason it loses is because Inaho figured out how to exploit the traits of the ''pilots'' in order to work around their kataphracts' powers.
* GlassCannon: Her kataphract hits incredibly hard, but in order to maintain its stealth, it has no armor and is very weak should its stealth system be broken
* {{Invisibility}}: Taken UpToEleven: Her ''Scandia'' is almost perfectly invisible optically and is ''completely'' invisible to sensors. However, it is vulnerable to smoke, which will cause VisibleInvisibility.

[[spoiler: But as it turns out, that wasn't the case. The Ortygia uses quantum teleportation to make the duplicates, which basically means that ''every single Ortygia'' is the "real" one. The only way to stop them was to destroy ''every'' single one, ''at once!!'']]

A VERS knight introduced in Episode 21 as a visitor from the Vers homeworld. He is the son of Count Cruhteo, and has assumed his father's position during the timeskip.

----
* DoNotCallMePaul: He'd rather have everyone refer to him as Klancain as he finds it awkward to be called by his surname, which results in "Count Cruhteo".
* GenerationXerox: Like his father, Klancain is loyal the Emperor, and by extension Asseylum. So he questions what Slaine is trying to do when they meet, especially regarding Asseylum's wishes of creating a new empire on the moon.
* LastEpisodeNewCharacter: Comes out of nowhere in Episode 21 and proceeds to become [[spoiler: the husband of Princess Asseylum]] by Episode 24 after the entire season's development between her and the other main characters.
* MyMasterRightOrWrong: Is very loyal to the VERS emperor. When he sees his father's Tharsis Kataphrakt, he clenches his fist briefly, probably at the thought that it's being misused by Slaine.
* NiceGuy: An amicable young man, unlike his haughty father.
* RememberTheNewGuy: There was no hint Cruhteo had a son until Klancain appeared. Also, he's fairly close to being a LastEpisodeNewCharacter.

* {{Expy}}: His background evokes the BigBad of ''Anime/TheVisionOfEscaflowne'', Emperor Dornkirk/[[spoiler:an alternate-universe UsefulNotes/IsaacNewton]]. His political position is about as significant (and ultimately as powerless) as [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam Zeon Deikun and Degwin Zabi]]. To wit, his son Gilzeria even seems to be a combination of [[CompositeCharacter Gihren and Garma Zabi]].

* AchillesHeel: ZigzaggedTrope - I like the other Martian Kataphracts, the Deucalion has no innate drawbacks that go with its powers, which give it incredible versatility. However, it appears that those powers are also the only way it can move, so when the [[DidntSeeThatComing completely unexpected scenario of the Hypergate exploding occurs]] and causes gravitational flux that disables her machine, she’s unable to escape before Debris rains down upon her.

* InvincibleVillain: The Deucalion was flat out beyond the capabilities of anything Earth could’ve mustered during the first VERS War, having access to a StoryBreakerPower that has no real drawbacks. The only reason it went down was because its powers went haywire during the Heaven’s Fall.



* TripodTerror: Likely as a ShoutOut to ''Litersture/TheWarOfTheWorlds'', her Kataphract was tripedal.
