Slaine – “Your eye. Is that from when I shot you?”
Inaho – “An analytical engine. I had a bio-device implanted that was neuro-linked to my cranial nerves. But I had it removed. I don't need it anymore.”
Slaine – “Hasn't it been long enough? I deceived, I stole, I killed. I sacrificed many of my own. Please.”
Inaho – “No. You're going to live.”
Slaine – “Why?! Why did you save me ?!”
Inaho – “It wasn't me. It's what Princess Asseylum wants. Seylum asked me...to save you.”
— ALDNOAH.ZERO Second Cour: #12 “Inherit the Stars”

Orangebat is the slash ship between Inaho Kaizuka and Slaine Troyard from the Aldnoah.Zero fandom.

Canon[]

Season 1[]

Inaho first learns of Slaine in passing from Princess Asseylum when they are talking about the blue sky. She mentions how "a friend" taught her that the sky and ocean are blue due to refraction. Inaho realizes that Slaine taught her incorrectly, and explains that it is due to Rayleigh scattering.

The first time they talk to each other is over their comms in The Boys of Earth, episode 7. Since they don't have time for introductions, Slaine calls Inaho "Orange" in reference to his bright orange kataphrakt, and Inaho calls Slaine "Bat" since his ship looks like one. Together, they are able to defeat Hellas. However, due to a series of miscommunications, Inaho believes Slaine is a member of those trying to assassinate Princess Asseylum, and Slaine believes Inaho and the other Terrans are exploiting her for their own ends. Unwilling to take Slaine aboard to see the princess, Inaho shoots him down, leaving him to the mercy of the Martians.

It isn't until Childhood's End, episode 12, that they meet face to face. However, the circumstances are less than ideal. Inaho is already hurt badly from the battle, and Asseylum has been shot by Count Saazbaum. Slaine, seeing the princess dying, still believes that Inaho is exploiting her. In his rage, Slaine shoots Inaho in the eye, and leaves him for dead.

Season 2[]

At the beginning of this season, it is revealed that Inaho kept Slaine's necklace. Originally, it was loaned to Princess Asseylum by Slaine as a good luck charm. However, she dropped it in the Landing Castle after she was shot. Inaho took it, knowing full well it was originally Slaine's.

During the final battle, Slaine is hit fatally, and he plummets to Earth. Though Inaho saves him, the entire war is blamed on Slaine and he is pronounced dead. In truth, Slaine is being held in a highly secure prison. Inaho visits him and asks how he doing, worried since Slaine hasn't been eating his meals. However, Slaine ignores this question, and instead asks about Inaho's eye, which is now covered by an eyepatch, and whether it is from when he shot him. Inaho tells him it is due to the biological-engine which he had implanted, but is now unnecessary with the war over.

Resigned, Slaine believes he deserves to die, but Inaho insists that he must live — after all, it had been Asseylum's wish.

Slaine – “YOU ARE!!”
Slaine – “Please leave me alone.”

Slaine – “I see...”
Inaho – “She is like a bird, flying all over the world. I will come again.”

Inaho – “Philosophy, wanna try it?”
Slaine – “No.”
Inaho – “Next time, I will bring some books for you.”
Slaine – “Don't need it. I said that I'm not interested.”
Inaho – “You are stubborn, Slaine Troyard.”
Slaine – “Are you always not listening to people talking, Inaho Kaizuka?”
Slaine – “You are not calling me bat anymore?”
Inaho – “You too, don't call me Orange anymore? Besides, you are not a bat, neither a sea gull.”
Slaine – “Sea gull?”
Inaho – “Ah, sea gull (umineko) isn't cat (neko), it's a bird.”
Slaine – “Thinking I'm an idiot again...”
Inaho – “Speaking of which, I heard that you don't eat again?”
Slaine – “You really don't listen to others.”
Inaho – “Eat. Or your body will break.”
Slaine – “I don't move much so I don't feel hungry.”
Inaho – “Then stand up.”
Slaine – “You have no right to command me.”
Inaho – “If you don't want to move then you should exercise your brain, for example...”
Slaine – “I won't do philosophy.” (eat a little)
Inaho – “A quiz then. Why do birds fly?”
Slaine – “What are you talking about?”
Inaho – “I will come again. Until then, think about it.”
— Inaho visits Slaine again. / ALDNOAH.ZERO: “Fragment of Rain – The Penultimate Truth”
“*(Inaho goes away, Slaine is left alone.)* So stupid...”
— Slaine Troyard
Slaine – “You're soaked again. Is it raining again today?”
Inaho – “Your face looks terrible... do you catch a cold?”
Slaine – “No... that's right, there are 4 seasons in this country...”
Inaho – “There are actually 6 seasons. There is rainy season between Spring and Summer, and typhoon season between Summer and Fall.”
Slaine – “Now is...”
Inaho – “Rainy season. It's going to last for one month.”
Slaine – “Long ago, Princess Asseylum asked me whether birds can fly in the rain, and if they get wet, can they fly again.”
Inaho – “...What was your answer?”
Slaine – “I forgot. I think I said something like it will wait until they are dried and fly again.”
Inaho – “Most birds have oiled feathers that can repel water, so it's possible for them to fly in the rain. If they get wet, it will dry quickly.”
Slaine – “There is nothing you don't know, huh.”
Inaho – “Have you found the answer for the quiz?”
Slaine – “To escape from predators, to find food like insects, and also... to look out over.”
Inaho – “Look out over?”
Slaine – “They fly really high, that's why I thought they could see everything. But, I was wrong. Because they fly so high that they can't find any branch to rest on, and when they are tired, they fall. I'm just a bat. Not a bird, not a beast, not a sea gull.”
Inaho – “Even so, you have to live.”
Slaine – “For what?”
Inaho – “Who knows.”
Slaine – “If I look for it, will I find it?”
Inaho – “You won't find it, but, even so, will you keep looking for it?”
Slaine – “Haha... I will think about it, but, how troublesome... but, it's okay, it's also to kill time.”
Inaho – “Then I will go–”
Slaine – “G6, Knight.”
Inaho – “?!”
Slaine – “It's your turn, Inaho Kaizuka.”
Inaho – “G5, Bishop.”
Slaine – “F4, Knight.”
Inaho – “F4, Bishop... Anyhow, your way of talking is distracting. Speak more clearly. It's hard to guess what you mean.” (means that Slaine is too emotional and ambitious)
Slaine – “It's normal. You too, talk with such uninteresting speeches, is that any better?”
Inaho – “Conversation is when you line up facts clearly, it's important.”
Slaine – “But it makes whoever listen to you bored... Don't tell me, you also talk that way with her majesty?”
Inaho – “That's right.”
Slaine – “Ha... just as I thought, I would never understand you.”
Inaho – “Same here.”
Slaine – “Really...” (soft voice)
— Inaho comes back to meet Slaine / ALDNOAH.ZERO: “Fragment of Rain – The Penultimate Truth”

Fanon[]

A common theme among fanfiction is that Slaine was not left to be captured by the Martians in episode 7. Instead, Inaho took Slaine aboard the Deucalion, where they would bond. Many fanfiction also focus on continuing the series where season 2 left off, with Slaine in prison and Inaho visiting him.

In AO3, it is the most written for ship in Aldnoah.Zero.

Trivia[]

  • Their ship name is derived from the code names they used for each other in episode 7, The Boys of Earth. Both called each other names based on the appearance of their mecha ships: Inaho's was a bright orange, and Slaine's looked like a bat.
    • The alternate ship name "Inasure" is derived from the Japanese pronunciations of their names.
  • Slaine points to his head, asking Inaho to shoot him, in the final episode. This is the same thing Count Saazbaum, Slaine's adoptive father, did in the season 1 finale when under the muzzle of Slaine's gun.
