- One of the most important things that you need to know about Ainz is that everything he does is all for the direct benefit of Nazarick. Including this seemingly questionable destruction of the Kingdom. So, as we go through the cut content for this episode, hopefully you'll come to realize why Ainz is doing what he's doing here.

Unfortunately I will be going to Greece for the next week and won't be able to upload any new videos till after.
I have scheduled the last 2 remaining super cuts, but the continuation of cut content will unfortunately be on hold until I get back.
Sorry I couldn't fully catch up :( I'll make it up when I'm back!
It's alright! Please enjoy ur vacation
Have fun man. We'll be here waiting.
Unfortunately? Come on enjoy it.
Take your time, i will miss your videos
Just keep your promise and it'll be fine 👍
I love how series make us hate Zanac in the first place because of his insulting and hating attitude of his sister and then show us how right he is about it and like him afterwards.
His insults were justified immediately since Renner showed signs of sociopathy in the earlier seasons.
@@ChadKakashi I don't think so. When I saw that smile for the first time, I thought she is just a mazochist like in the kodosuba series. It was normal to see such mazo characters in anime so I thought maybe we can see her getting tortured and getting enjoy it. But it was her twisted mind after all.
I genuinely felt bad that the smarmy royal piggy went out that way. He proved he was a true king in his final moments.
@@fatihaydogdu2720 I instantly guessed what they were doing with her.
I also really disliked how they were trying to make her creepy and unnerving but she just looked like she was a child trying to make a scary face.
I hate how much they cut from the anime, every statement holds so much more weight
I love the fact that Ainz thinks of himself as average in terms of intelligence and because of that he has to be very careful when making decisions which actually makes him much more intelligent than he actually thinks he is.
@@ZuuZuu2 Actually that’s been proven false several times over the course of overlord. At first it was an easy mistake to make, but by the end of season four it gets to the point where he’s not bullshitting anymore, he does have plans and the perfect tools to execute them. Ainz might not realize it, and his accidental successes don’t help with that, but he’s a strategy genius, and only gets more intelligent as the series goes on. This isn’t unintended by the author, either. Some people forget how Ainz’ race, the overlords, work. They gain wisdom and intelligence with age and experience. On top of this, it’s been co firmed that one can increase their intelligence in the world of overlord in the same way that training physically grants you the ability to use arts, no matter what your level is.
It actually gets to the point where he’s legitimately correcting albedo and demiurge on subjects they should be better than him in, with only pandora’s actor being on the same page at all times. I would definitely give the novel a read, the way maruyama writes it makes it so interesting. I just make it sound like an info dump
But if you think about it, it makes sense. No one in this world plays it like a game. In his own way, he’s decades more experienced at living in this world than even the most ancient dragon lords. The key switch comes when he starts *treating* the world like a game to be beaten after realizing his friends would never be found.
Which was also around the time he realized nothing in the world could harm him, not even gravity, aside from a player like himself or a world item.. whom he couldn’t find or had perfect counters for
Actually I’ll slightly correct myself; wild magic was and would have been a threat that could harm him, and is a perfect example of what I mean when I’m talking about Ainz’ pure genius.
I like your last point on Ainz trying to build up the confidence of Pestonya and Nigredo to help solidify the more humanitarian aspects of his kingdom.
His end goal is for all races to be able to live together equally. So he can't afford to disregard ones like this because at least half of his end kingdom would agree with them.
@@meowkitty4849 looks like Ainz would get along with Big Mom
@@MathGeekQ Ya, Linlin loves bones I see
This could also be a potential problem in the future. Steam can build up within Nigredo, Pestonia, and Sebas. Ains considering their proposal some of that steam is release. In the future Pestonia will be very crucial for future events such as this. She seems to be just like Sebas except she truly will voice her opinion. Sebas gives Ains looks and watches him intently. Pestonia does the same.
I recalled Sebas is pretty much a blank slate but he still is imbued with some semblance of his creator “Touch Me”.
I do hope we see more of Nigredo, but specifically an interaction with Nigredo, Albedo, and Rubedo.
I also love the way Pestonia says “woof” or “er woof” so cute.
there is nothing better to develop the humanitarian aspects of a kingdom than to found it on the genocide of another....
🙄
Why the kingdom could have won with the crane wing formation
Paper cranes are nice
I agree
I agreed
What is that
i want spoilers pls if theres a joke im missing here
this is probably ainz's biggest mindgame on the npcs
"i may might gonna make intentional mistakes in the upcoming campaign to test you"
Yep this is in Volume 12-13 Holy Kingdom arc which will be covered in upcoming Movie
Too bad that starts in the Holy Kingdom movie which takes place between the Dwarf Empire takeover and the Kingdom genocide. The way they split these arcs up was genius, (time-wise) but also flawed (there's no mention of the upcoming movie besides one line. They even mention the Holy Kingdom War in this exact arc, when Renner and Zanac are talking before the declaration of war comes.)
@@JuanPressPH I just want to know this, is there another player out there besides ainz
@@Novasigmia There were players like Ainz, they were gods from the past. So Ainz is a god or demigod level existance in this world.
@@mariow7818 Just imagine an Yggdrasil Dev popping in with infinite stats and level just to basically say, “It’s just a prank bro” every time a player dies and goes back to Earth lmao
Zanic was pretty much Thee king that the kingdom needed, he understood the bigger picture and (unlike his father) cared for the people as well as the soldiers at the time, he was also far more understanding in general as he took the time out of his day to Understand Ainz, hence why Ainz started to take a liking to him, its truely heart breaking that his own people killed him and robbed everyones chances of dying a peaceful painless death, Even with Zanacs head Ainz respected his body and asked that the head be returned and buried properly. this series is just so damn deep
He also punished the people who did it incredibly harshly
They would rather die than what he made them go through
I honestly love how Ains was able to BS his way into convincing even the most evil Nazarick denisens that building a utopia where all races can co-exist is the best course of action
While at the same time, allowing naturally good people like Sebas, Pestonya and Yuri Alpha a foothold in the politics of the Sorcerer's kingdom.
Too bad that utopia will never come to pass
@@mut57 why
@@mut57 spoiler??
@@BlueRiptide trust me overlord snd happy ending do not go together
sanji Vinsmoke The MC and his group are essentially evil so that makes sense
I love how Ramposa "considered" killing Albedo, as if she would be sent basically alone to deliver a declaration of war if she wasnt able to protect herself
that would have been quite the scene if they'd tried that
@@emperorflick not to mention that NO envoy sent to enemy territory, much less the capital of your enemy wouldn't have AT LEAST one guard, as was mentioned, ainz isn't stupid when it comes to matters of war, even if he knew and trusted albedos strength, he would have had a guard somewhere in the throne room during the talks, ready to defend albedo and his interests
@@viper2003923 Guard or no guard I doubt that would have ended well...
No would ever leave that room
@@viper2003923 She did actually have a guard, and a very high level one, correct.
They were right there in the room with everyone, but only a high level specialist would be able to detect them, like Aura.
They were Hanzo undead (lvl 70 something, if I remember right)
And some of those spider assassin things I always forget the name of, eight arm assassins or something. They always follow albedo, but she typically takes hanzos on diplomatic missions as well.
I really got mad that they killed Zanac. He was calculating and cunning but he's doing his best to do for the best of the kingdom thay he didn't even have, yet he was willing to risk his life for it. I can't wait for the massacre.
He died a marytr
Yea, but the nobles responsible ended up regretting that choice.
...
...
...
"Very well, you all shall live. Albedo, escort them to the Neuronist. And remember, do not let them die. No matter how much they may beg for it."
there was also miscommunication. the way he kind of said "surrender was never an option" can be interpreted as "as a kingdom we'd never surrender to monsters". so to his people, I can absolutely see it has him sacrificing his people for his pride. Although even if his people understood this, I wouldn't know if they'd still resort to killing him in desperation.
Never thought I'd feel some sort of pity for him. I initially thought he was another scheming fool trying to circumvent the competition but after he won the succession he actually tried to improve the kingdom, even risking his life during the demon attack by Ainz. It's what happens when the power is split between the nobles and the monarch and why Jircniv's empire is much more stable. Poor martyr paid the price of trying to appease both sides. He was not as competent and probably made for an average king but I gotta give credit to his dying resolve. The man certainly went out honorably, I even daresay it almost mirrors Gazef's resolve, which makes it more impactful for me since he knows he's not a fighting figure.
the massacre is already over. Off screen sadly :/
Honestly this is one of the reasons i enjoy seeing MC as the (presumably, in the case of Ainz and someone like Kira from DN since i know many refuse to consider them one) antagonist. It helps bringing out the heroic aspect of other seemingly minor and stereotyped characters, like Zanac in this case.
I genuinely didn't pay much attention to him at first, thinking that he was just going to be that type of scheming second-prince stereotype all over again, but began to grow on him when the fate of the kingdom slowly tripped down to the point of unsavable as the series progress. My man literally carried the entire kingdom on his back while it was being destroyed from the inside by his sister and his father's ideology, only to then got betrayed by his own people at the very last minute.
The main character can’t be an antagonist. Main character can be evil (meaning a villain) but he is still the protagonist.
Man Shalltears plan was both comedic and somewhat cute cause she wanted to make an attack above and circumvate the defenses immediately but with some success.
But they could've just summon those death horses lol.... Literally just summon them inside the city.
@@LazyDeath666 using magic would get them detected though.
@@LazyDeath666 If they were summoned inside the city they wouldn't get fall damage, thus not getting healed by life stealing
@@davidfleming6792 you do know the ability soul devour doesn't need for the soul eaters to be damage right? Their ability that people are afraid of is the instant death aura, which kills people surrounding them in the distance and while at it devour their souls and life steal is just part of soul devour.
@@COBRAC0MMANDER yeah that could foil it but it would be the same if they fly and getting spotted by sentries. Anyway ains even teleported to another kingdom and didint get discovered so that worry is not that problematic.
Installing false hope in the people by pretending to lose a battle, while using it as a learning experience.
All part of 10,000 years plan that even Demiurge can't take a peak.
Do you have any plans on doing "Cut content" for episodes from previous seasons that you haven't done yet?
Really enjoying this particular series of Cut content from the LNs.
If there's ever a season where there isnt any promising looking fantasy or isekai anime then I will dedicate those 3 months to doing Overlord vids retroactively
@@AniNews 69th like,lol. Also, that's very good to know! I love these videos!
@@AniNews Awesome man. I wouldn't believe it if I told my past self I'd be looking forward to a dead season.
@@AniNews That's the problem though, isekai will never die!
@@AniNews after Overlord S4 finish, you got *The* *Eminence* *In* *The* *Shadow* very recommended isekai anime to go.
i like that Ains recognises that he isn't as smart as everyone thinks he is and instead of it just being his character trope for ever and ever, he is actually trying to improve himself to meet those expectations. Character development :)
I wish some gag characters could learn from this.
What was interesting to me is the face expression of Sebas when Ainz accepted Nigredo's and Pestonias suggestion at the end.
5:21 LOL the moment he would try the entire room would drop with nobody but Renner alive 😂
He did say he's looking 10,000 years ahead.
Imagine the terror of having a soul eater paratrooper bust through your ceiling
You wouldn't feel it though. You'd be dead so that the thing could heal. You'd prolly die the sweetest of deaths, just blacking out, and winking out of existence.
Ainz probably would have second thoughts about wiping out the Kingdom if it wasn't full of backstabbers, traitors, murderers, thieves, slave traders and the like. I imagine Raevan probably was able to get more of the reputable people of the Kingdom on his side before the Kingdom was razed, meaning that the quality of the remaining people in it was even lower than that it otherwise would have been.
I'd imagine it wouldn't even come into this if that was the case. If I understand it correctly, the whole plan originally was to incite rebellion from the people then just rule them politically as a puppet state or perhaps officially. The whole thing deranged due to Philip but Ainz may reason that since Philip's whole bloodline would be enough as a "stick" and that the kingdom is decent enough to change.
Although that's just my take on it and that "Ainz's great plans" are always bore from misunderstandings.
In the LN it's pointed out in Zanac's Bio text that if Nazarick had never shown up, Zanac - working along side Renner, Raeven, and Gazef - would have turned the country around and driven out the Eight Fingers. Which, in my mind, is the true tragedy,
@@scopedog176 not really. the kingdom already on it way to destruction. Even zanac and renner can re-form it, its power can't compare with the empire which will conquered its
@@quochoannguyen662 There is also the added fact that If Ainz and the Tomb of Nazarick had never arrived in the new world, Gazef would have met his end by the hand of the Sunlight Scripture some short time after their attack on Carne village, which would have destabilised the kingdom even further. The kingdom has been on the road to destruction for a long long time.
@@ZuuZuu2 he left cities to let humans escape and aimed mostly at the capital
Pestonia seems to be the mastermind behind this plan…she new what they were asking for was unreasonable. That’s why they did the big ask first and then the less favorable but most likely to get a yes from second.
I don’t read the LN so if anyone could comment if pestonia had internal dialogue. Pestonia seems very intelligent to me.
They are both highly intelligent. Nigredo is effectively the intelligence specialist of Nazarick. However, she really only cares about babies. Once they get old enough she stops caring about them. Pestonia genuinely cares about all life.
I'm no expert but I don't recall Pentonia Shortcake Wanko having any internal dialogue here, just some genuine concern for some folks. She really is the Good Girl.
Doesn't she resemble a border collie? Yea, one of the smartest one around (correct me if I'm wrong tho)
@@Donttrustthatburger5144 thank you, my thought process is that she did not think of this action on the fly. No internal dialogue. She orchestrated this very well.
Nazerick sure does have some interesting good/evil characters living together.
@@Dragon_Lair Thank you, Nigredo is an interrelating character. I would like to see how she and Albedo would interact. In fact I wish we say more interactions between the good NPC and the evil align NPC. I know we had a major plot already with Sebas. Still I just find it fascinating they all coexist.
As someone who hides the fact I watch anime I bought the paladin of the holy kingdom 1, 2 and volume 14 of the books. This is the first time I've ever bought anything related to an anime. Wow they're amazing. The world building and illustrations. That being said, the anime is doing an outstanding the job bringing the pages to life. Especially that episode where the nobles got a reward equal to their efforts with Zanac sent chills down the spine. Then that most recent episode battle with the suit. I've also never religiously mashed refresh desperately wanting the next episode to be uploaded already on Crunchyroll.
It's worth it to read the books. Now go back to Vol.s 1-3 and watch the 1st season over again
There really isn't any reason to hide the fact you like Anime, friend. If anyone's telling you different? Ignore them. It's what you enjoy, live it up. That said, I need to get my hands on the English versions of the Light Novels and the manga. Hope to god it's not gonna be ridiculously expensive like it is for the One Piece manga.
@@MLPIceberg Go used on the LNs if you can as the English ones are hardcovers.
The hell is the point of hiding it 🤔. Those who do not share your interests can find other things to share with you. And those who dislike you for your interests , do not deserve your time at all.
It was nice to finally see Pandora's Actor getting to play around some more.
wait, so ainz did all started this war was as a way to help his guardians grow through experience, and it just so happened that Philip gave them the excuse to?
Yeah never know when a player will show up are guild that can rival nazarick will show up. Like with pdl drangon who fought pandors actor you never when someone strong will show up. Also gotta get his people experience to learn if the time comes
Nah. He doesn't started sh*t. He doesn't even read the reports his subordinates submitted to him.
Yea ainz is a clear paranoid psychopath
Another reason is because those idiot nobles killed off Zanac, it made the already bad image of the nobles in Ainz eyes far worse
Yes same as the movie that will come out.
Great writing
The kingdom was pretty much screwed. There were like three people who actually cared about improving things everyone else was either incompetent, greedy or a psycho.

@@ZuuZuu2 bro you should probably read Xianxia genre manga and you will finally understand cruelty, Ancient Gods destroying planets to collect energy to cultivate, cultivators torturing mortals to collect resentment to refine resentment spirits and many more astrocities.
Shalltear really tried dropping the titans on a city
I was thinking of that too. I was hoping to see a scene of that play in this video
This might just be coincidence but I appreciate you staying 2 episodes behind with your uploads so us dub watchers can keep up with the videos!
Right I was thinking the same thing!!!
Granted, he did use footage from episode 11, which came out the same day that this video was released.
Weakness disgust me
@@alirashid3562 Of course, it is a sin afterall.
@@whyjnot420 understood that reference
I didn't realise Mamonga was reading self-help books to improve his leadership skills! I guess the lack of a need to sleep would be handy for gaining himself some study time. 😅
You wouldn't think Lady Nigredo would be so sentimental with that face.
Also seems a bit rushed sadly like they jumped a lot from one scene to another god dammit this series deserve at least 24 ep's for sure, so many new characters just blitz! ;/,
Nigredo is waifu
I like to say that Overlord's anime is a mediocre adaptation of an exceptional source. That's why, it ends up being a high positive. I want to read the novels, because if the story and characters are this good when handled poorly, I ache to know what it's like when this story is on the right hands.
@@Nanox19435 it's not actually being in the right or wrong hands, it's just the Number of episodes. If every season is 50 episodes or atleast 20+, then they could make the already great one even more.
I already wait for this episodes with eager anticipation. Definitely Appreciate it!
I’m still not buying why Ainz is so worried about the other NPCs.
Even Sebastian who was one of the more morally good NPCs was willing to kill the girl he tried so hard to save just because Ainz said so.
So even if the floor guardians and others are mostly evil. I doubt they’d actually have the stones to full on turn there backs and leave or betray Ainz if he made more peaceful diplomacy choices.
I think the point here is: It doesn't seem like a game anymore to Momonga (the man behind Ainz Ooal Gown) and has witness firsthand actual character growth from his NPC army. They can be influenced just like us humans can be in our real world. I think so at least. Maybe I'm wrong. If so, please enlighten me more on the subject of Overlord. I don't have access to the Manga and Light Novels, so I might be missing out on some things.
@@MLPIceberg That's an interesting point!
Personally, I think that maybe because he remembers that world as a game he acts like a villain, he doesn't think it matters since it's just a game and these are just NPCs
Also since the first book, it was clear that he doesn't feel empathy for humans unless he is personally or emotionally involved in them, which reminds me of people playing video games, when I play GTA or other games involving humans I don't care about random people on the streets and neither do I feel empathy if they randomly died, but if I get personally involved with an NPCs I might be a bit mad if they died.
@@MLPIceberg Also how the story is structured reminds me of different quests within chapters and areas, the capturing of the wise king of the forest is a small starter side quest to get an alley to help you get around, and Meeting Nphirea the well-known grandson of an alchemist and his kidnapping and having to fight the big evil guy to save Nphirea cementing him to your story as someone who owes to you.
and all of these side quests are within the more extensive chapter of the Re-estate kingdom which officially ends after you capture the entire kingdom.
I look forward to these videos as much as new Overlord eps. Keep it up, bud!
I like how all npc in nazarick has more lore than the average isekai protag
Most isekai protagonists are just: I wasn't popular in Japan, but now I'm supremely OP and have a harem, lol.
@@XoRandomGuyoX true
you forgot that the offering of the head of state not only shock everyone but also send a message that maruyama implied that king rampossa won the negotiation aspect
Love your Overlord videos. You explain so much. Way better than other people's explanations or summary.
Love the videos! They give a lot of insight for those who need it. Thank you so much for all the hard work yall do! Shout out to the editing as well, always top notch.
I wish this could just be a podcast or something such perfection in these videos !
I haven't read the novels but i'm wondering if ainz is going to finish what the 8 kings started and kill off the rest of the dragon lords I doubt platinum is just going to sit around and let bone daddy take over the world a conflict between them(a real one not his armor) seems inevitable
Most likely yes, as platinum lord has been decieved and is trying to bring other surviving dragon lords to deal with Ainz.
Well. PDL is strong but he isn't really a big deal. His power is HP based with that Shalltear is a direct counter to him.
Right now in the novels they're on the Elf Kingdom storyline and it's ending in 2 volumes, so I doubt it.
@@CrowYaeger so who's the strongest "enemy " in the world? is it just PDL?
@@Ja-3108 The Dragon Emperor is implied to be the strongest, but the New World is huge and even the some of the Dragon Lords don't think they're neccessarily the strongest. Though they've killed players before.
There's no natural level system in the NW , so things stronger than level 100 could exist.
In the alt side story about Evil Eye, Momonga struggled to beat a different dragon lord.
What an amazing video. The anime cuts so much content and it feels like it rushes past things constantly.
I love the all details you really put into these epsoides, it really does helpe alot to more understand what is going on. For that, i love you ❤️
Since there have been other players of Yggdrasil transported in the past in different parts of this world’s history. Plus hearing the overlord series might end in two volumes. I think the story might end with the arrival of a hero from another world arriving.
It will make 200 years later. The world at peace. Ainz unified the world and make the arrival of new player useless because ainz make the world better. Except if the new player is somehow evil?
I want to see that story
@@ZuuZuu2 I mean, Nazarick is unreachable in Yggdrasil. They held the reputation of having never been sieged successfully in the game. I doubt the new players can do jack.
@@ZuuZuu2 you dont understand real life , do you?
Look at USA, bombing nuclear weapon at japan but still onboard until today.
Or how about european society that colonize other part of the world, killing alot of people but still alive until today?
From this logic in real world we know that ainz not just killing, he is also building nation and brainwashing his citizen unknownly.
Yes he kill people but ainz still protect their own citizen.
Just look at real world.
I dont say it was good but even if a country make a genocide, did any country that oppose it start war today ?
No.
So what you expect from someone that transported from different world when in their world something similiar is happen. And it is all just about politic.
It will be known if ainz ever make a school system and make citizen learning war before ainz come, human just kill each other because they are from different nation. Like baharuth empire that war againts kingdom and killing each other. Yet the hypocrite dragon lord and adamantite adventures doesnt do anything.
@@ZuuZuu2 Nah Nazarick will likely be able to pull wool over the sheep's eyes. 200 years is enough for them to erase the past hatred and built a false safety.
Part of why I enjoy this show is the villain protagonist perspective. I won't even insist Ainz is in any way justified in a lot of the shit he does (Or allows to happen) since he rarely isn't. But I enjoy it regardless simply for the change from the standard hero formula we see in most isekai series. There's a certain charm to having an MC who just does whatever the hell he wants and damn the collateral damage. I dunno, guess I'm just one of those people who's able to leave their morals at the door when enjoying fiction (With the occasional exception) Like I'll admit Ainz is a friggen bad person (At least when his actions are influenced by Nazarick, he's not nearly so bad on his own), but hell man, I still like him.
he is justice
thank you, i finally someone just embrace the fact what Ainz did are no way justified without any other option rather than trying to excuse what he did and BS the way around.
@@neardarkroad1347 Yeah, some folk do put in loads of effort to claim he does nothing wrong (Even to the extreme of justifying the Happy Farm as a good thing.) But I think it has more to do with his role of protagonist. If he were the antagonist of the piece and we were instead following someone else (To keep to the theme of Overlord lets just say hypothetical protag isn't heroic either) Then people would be calling Ainz out left and right. But since Ainz is MC, people feel more compelled to defend him. And I admit, for early Overlord, there are some fairly solid arguments in his favor, though not so much later on. I don't really get why people need to defend him though, just enjoy the story, who cares if he's evil, those who do care will just drop the show, easy.
Even so, I will add that the moral framework of New World is largely just "The strong do what they will and the weak suffer what they must." That's largely how that world works, not just Ainz, but it is a philosophy Ainz buys into and has even stated that if someone stronger than him and Nazarick came along, they'd have no choice but to fight and die. Though I suspect that while he preaches that, if such a thing did happen, he'd certainly lament the unfairness of it in his final moments. But that only circles back to another of Ainz' admissions, that being that he's a self-confessed hypocrite.
He knows what he's doing, and he doesn't give a crap (And that's partly why I enjoy him as an MC, no heroics, no moralizing, just pure self-serving motives, you're either useful to Nazarick, or you get eliminated) Its just how Overlord works, and I've gotta admit I do get a good laugh when anime onlys are like "So is Ainz getting established as the villain first and the real hero who'll defeat him will be introduced later?" since that just means they're getting the wrong impression of what this series is. The story of a villain's rise as he crushes other petty villains, heroes and innocents alike in his conquest (Or the NPCs conquest since Ainz is massively unqualified for the role he's trying to fill, he just plays along to make them happy and hide the fact that he's incompetent).
@@dreadrath at the very least, dude just embrace himself being a prick and doesn't repeat himself is a prick anymore.
Unlike Accelerator that keep talking about himself being a bad guy and what not everytime he pummel down bad guys in Academy City.
Yup, I'm that dude who drop Overlord. Not because I can't read a story about protagonist being a villain. It's just Overlord step into the territory of doing "evil stuffs as normal and treat it as silly jokes" too hard. The Happy Farm you mention is the example. Another is the community "holy weapon". That shit traumatize me after I dive into Overlord wiki to find about someone that can be a true match to Nazarick (which of course, doesn't exist in the current time).
@@neardarkroad1347 A time might come when, 100 years or more down the line where one of the top 3 guilds appears, since realistically they are the only thing that could contend with Nazarick, if not slightly edge them out in direct conflict, and even then it'd be a back and forth stalemate at best as neither side will be able to get a decisive leg up on the other, and the world will suffer for it, especially if the newly arrived guild is as power hungry and Nazarick are, or as destructive as the 8 Greed Kings were when they tore the whole world a new asshole just for the lolz (8GKs were the second wave of players to arrive, Ainz is the 7th wave) There were a few heroic players, or at least neutral, but by and large most of them were just greedy, genocidal assholes.
Well there is also the alternative of a World Class Enemy also showing up, but that would be bad for everyone, Nazarick included since a World Enemy that gains sentience would probably destroy everything, Nazarick included. It'd just wipe the world clean of life, or, if its one of the upper tier world enemies, it might just devour the New World whole. If World Eater appeared, Ainz would be shitting bricks.
Wow, cut content the same day :D keep it up man. I love this series (and the ones for danmachi, slime, shield hero, and jobless reincarnation)
Thank you for the videos! 🥰❤
I’m all for a theory that just like Ainz’s emotions are kept in in check by his players’ build, I think that his decision making, while flawed because of his natural lack of capability, is also influenced by his stats, leading him a “right” decision regardless. Like if his high level intelligence from being a stupidly strong magic caster always mitigates his lack of actual knowledge guiding him towards actions that progress his situation. This effect is eventually perceived by the reader as luck. Having said that, I have very little knowledge of player builds and RPGs in general, so it’s hard for me to say if it makes sense. What do you think?
So ainz thinks like a mage?
@@D.KlWA-aG like I said, I seriously lack knowledge on the matter hahaha. So what does thinking like a mage mean?
@@guss25100 ya know inclined to be more in the back and prepares big damaging moves
I guess a better example would be if Ainz suddenly became like some warrior class then he would feel like being more upfront and in the middle of conflict.
yeah, I think the same. Since lore and stats determine npc personalities, capabilites and quirks, Momonga should be included among them. He lacks empathy like undead should, as mage needs high int Momonga as lvl100 overlord would have crazy amount of points allocated in it. So, even though his mind retains memories and his consciousness acts relatively same, his subconsciousness must be working like supercomputer.
@@sterbern2357 yeah, exactly. And although he can’t really understand many plans to their core, the little input he gives actually leads to a “desired” place. A lot of it is also the “people” surrounding him, so he is kind of dependent on their intentions but still manages to choose the right path within those mostly limited possibilities
Noticed something, the your video about Pandoras Actor you mentioned it is believed that when he is pretending to be Ainz it is believed (not proven as you said) that Ainz doesn't have the red eyes, however in today's episode this was proven untrue as he had the Red eyes. For the first time I will note though, but does disprove the theory.
Though it was also still fairly obvious who it was as the mannerisms were different.
You can tell its Pandoras Actor when he transforms into Ainz, cause he doesn't have a red orb in his body
@@jhinwick5251 I was so focused on the eyes I didn't even notice lmao
@@jhinwick5251 No wonder something felt off. I notice the eyes were still there as well but didn't really notice the lack of O R B
@@Thromash Yeah, the orb is Ainz's personal World Class Item. He wouldn't just hand that out to a Guardian.
I’ve been waiting for this since the new episode dropped 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Really love these vids because I love the anime but haven't read the lite novels yet! Keep it up!

@@AniNews will you do fate videos?
@@AniNews ohh that's the only issue and that's going to happen with any clothes I was just shocked it started to happen on the first wash. Aside from that the quality is wonderful and design is awesome. You did great.
amazing videos guys !
Good one im looking forward for the next one
Ainz-sama giving the good karma NPCs minority a voice. Nigredo is unique though. Since Ainz gave Sebas a favor with Tuare, Pestonya and Nigredo thought they might ask for their favors as well? 🤔
whoever wrote this story is absolutely genius...this is by far my most favorite anime ever..
No wonder the "Power of friendship" doesn't work on him,
he's fulled with the power of *FAMILY* and Pay-to-Win items
Great video !
RIP dark pink gown we'll never see on Albedo T_T I do hope we get an ova season of the practice invasion plans performed by each guardian.
Ainz just do what Nicolas Machiavel said to do... reign with just enough cruelty to rid of your land of bad roots.
“A ruler must not fear being reproached for cruelty when it is a matter of keeping his subjects united and loyal, because with a few exemplary executions he will be more merciful than those who, through too much mercy, allow the kind of disorder to spread that gives rise to plunder and murder. This harms the whole community, while an execution ordered by a prince harms only a single individual.”
Ramposa really was a shit ruler A good man, but to be a good ruler you have to do whatever it takes.
Bro.. You always....
Thankyou for covering these important infos for none novel readers like myself.
This video warms the heart
I did not understand why they dicided to not change Albedo outfit during the meeting. It wasn't something so difficult to do
Felt bad for Zanac he really got delt the worst hand but at least he was a badass to the end.
thanks for the content really enjoyed it
Thanks!
You know. the amazing thing about wiping out the kingdom is how none of hte NPC's bothered to point out the collasal, massive problem with doing this. Namley, Ainz is basically destroying his own kingdom by doing this for one simple reason.
Remmeber how the current territory of the scorceror kingdom was taken from the very kingdom they are now wiping out? That means the vast majority of Ainz human subjects, are from the kingdom naturally. Which you know means.
He's littearly ordering the deaths of his own subjects freinds and family on mass. This would outright horrfiy his subjects and lead to pretty much all of them either refusing to serve him anymore as they just had their whole family massacred. Or they'd simply pick up and leave in a mass exodus, causenobody in their right mind would live under the guy who just killed all your friends and family.
Realisically, Ainz just ordered his own kingdoms collapse as the human population of it wouldn't serve him or live under him reguarldess of threats of death or punishment and would just leave or rebel. And Momon is now useless as they feel that he wouldn't protect them as he stood by and did nothing.
THis is SUCH a glaringly obvious thing, that it's amazing none of the NPC's bothered to point this out!
Fear would quell their offensive. Not everyone had family outside E-Rantel. Most normal people are peasants after all.
And where would they go? How would they fight ainz? They aren’t even serving him as they are literally just living their lives. Those that could leave, already did.
@@bloodfiredrake7259 Exactly. They don't have airplanes or cars, so regularly traveling hundreds of miles for vacations or moving to a different part of the country is unusual. Your family and friends are going to either live in your own town or a very close town, not in a completely different state like is normal in the USA.
Take for example Carne Village. There were only two people who were really known in the village that lived elsewhere: Nfirea and his Grandmother. Even then, Nfirea lived in E-Rantel, the closest major city, not very far away.
@@bloodfiredrake7259 Fear only goes so far. And there is such a thing as making people TOO afraid. To the point that they become afriad of NOT fighting back even if it means they die. Terror and fear can easily backfire if you go too far with it. And massacring friends and family can activly cause exactly that to happen as then your obviosuly afraid he's oging to do the same to YOU. So what other choice do you have?
And also people can have large families even in medival era's. LOok at the witcher 3 for example. That is a place just as hostile to humanity as Overlord can be with even more monsters, yet people have family members over huge distances even in other kingdoms. Just cause your a peasent doens't mean you can't have family all over the place.
@@ZuuZuu2 “this nation attacked a convoy meant for humanitarian aid to the holy kingdom, the nation I went alone to, to save. Not to mention that four countries supported our declaration of war.”
if ppl are already malding about this part of the story, oh boi wait for the movie. I want to see the best sword in thw whole Holy Kingdom at display
Yeah I've been seeing alot mad at ainz calling him evil all kind of names but like ainz said who lived as strong and weak. Those with power can do whatever they want and those who are weak fallow. Weakness is sin
If people make it this far and are mad that he’s doing evil things, they haven’t been paying attention to this series at all.
Ainz is basically Hitler, unfortunately the overlord community are filled with sociopaths
@@PSL416 those people are just illogical they're the same ones who cried when the explorer's INVADING nazerick were killed but barely cared when ainz attempted genocide on the lizard men
I mean I get that they're looking for justification but common sense shouldn't have to be explained
He's looking for guild mates
Protecting and teaching the children of those guild mates
And last but not least trying to improve the lives of those residing within his guild/kingdom
It's so straight forward that it's laughable that they don't understand
@@dishantithomas4198 yeah look at the comment above yours🤣
Can't wait for you to get to the episode that aired today. Best of the season.
Yeah but the fight was really short compared in the LN. The Elemental Skull "Ainz" summoned in the anime didn't even cast a single spell, while in the LN "Ainz" actually fight Riku in a close combat while the Elemental Skull cast 10th tier spells one after another.
Love your vids ❤ can’t wait for you to hit 1mil 🎉
Episode 11 had my ass fooled smh - Didn’t expect to see Pandora’s Actor acting as Ainz , I did notice that small disc torment of how Albedo addressed him though lol
When Ainz asked Demi, Are you sure the plan failed?
Demi's brain just went overclock and came up with Inter-Nation Carrots and Sticks plan.
That's why.
Huh. I thought according to the anime, it was initially to market his Kingdom of Nazareth in the hopes that it would attract any potential friends from his IRL world as he hoped they were few who may be trapped. But that’s impossible as the answer is seen in the first 2 minutes of episode 1.
Love your videos. You should talk about Parallel World Pharmacy. It's so good, it brought me to tears.
Cut content is getting severe, the guardian plans would have been cool addition that episode. And the new episode didn't have any transition to at least show where it's happening. Aside of that it 's pretty great by itself.
It makes me wonder why they pose such a strict limit on episodes per season like that. I think 24/25 episodes per season for a show like Overlord would be far better than 12. But that's me. I'm sure there's a real good and legitimate explanation why it's 12 episodes per season, I just don't know it.
@@MLPIceberg i bet it's because madhouse doesn't want to invest that much into the show, one example would be the cgi in the previous seasons and for the reason is maybe they think that the show wouldn't be able to become mainstream.
Video Idea: Why Don't Isekai reveal their true Identity
Suppose to be cool but usually is cringe
the one isekai where the protagonist revealed his identity his new parents had a meltdown, think that's a good reason
@@xClown55 which one was that?
@@FromDkWithLove the beginning after the end
Literally just think about it. What if your child is not really your child since it's just some reincarnation of someone else who has their own set of memories?
If your talking about those who wasn't born but got transfered they do tell others just that some don't believe it or some just doesn't care much and just want to stay with the mc. If you want the baby thing being told they are from another world and just got somehow reborn into a baby specially with magic they would outright kill the baby if they can since that guy just potentially killed their baby and just transfered their souls into it. That's the reason why the troupe of not telling anyone about their reincarnation experience (some ulti they are too op to protect themselves then tell they are reincarnators.). People saying it's cringe they are hiding the fact they reincarnated are just people who has no idea of the consinquences of that gonna happen if they do. Have you seen so what if I'm a spider? That's one of the things what will happen to people if they say they reincarnated with memories. (If not then I won't spoil).
Thanks for y work
I love these videos so much
Ah yes
General Shalltear's 101st "Flat-Chest" Airborne Division
the only thing i didnt like was the lore i heard of how strong death knights were, their immunity to one shot attacks leaving them 1 hp, with that passive is why ainz loves using them to tank stronger enemies
Yeah. Ever since the first Death Knight dying, I immediately questioned "What about the "Always remain with 1HP remaining" the Fall might be understandable since the first fall damage reduced it's HP to 1 and the second bounce finished it but Chain dragon Lightning or the Bullets from that Gundam isn't or doesn't have DOT( Damage Over Time)
Watch that scene again: The Death Knight (shield) gets shot once, staggers, comes back up and THEN gets shot again and collapses. The Death Warrior (two swords) gets hit with the bullet shower. So yeah, we do see the immunity.
I sometimes fel like you are an ultra fan of ainz and find sense in his action in most videos
The wait was a bit long but it's worth it. Thanks, Aninews!
I kind of wanted to see the floor guardians absolutely annihilate the Kingdom’s army.
Why? It's just pointless slaughter
@@shuureqium7376 Because, I want to see the destructive power the other guardians have on screen instead of them usually showcasing their intelligence. We’ve seen Ainz and Shalltears maximum power and abilities, just curious about the rest of them.
@@megamario3696 Not to mention the delicious expressions and reactions of those disgustingly selfish nobles. I'd relish a scene with maximum carnage. I do so hope the end scene with Philip and Albedo won't disappoint.
@@shuureqium7376 because we watch these shows to see things we cant in real life. Its a series why should we dont get need less killing if it doesent matter?
big big question though. Is Ainz ACTUALLY doing these things or...is he fumbling his way through lol. Like, is his intelligence growing with his humanity decreasing? Because I'd luv to see a smart Ainz. It just feels like he fumbles his way through things and it's Demiurge and Albedo doing the planning.
If geniuses like Demiurge and Albedo are the ones doing the planning then the plan must be good. Right?
He isn't doing the planning. But he's not fumbling either. Right now he's giving 100% of attention to fulfilling the guardians plans.
Well, one of the theories regarding Ainz is that his conscious mind is taken into account by a subconscious aspect which comes from his Dark Wisdom skill in order to achieve the best result. So while on the surface Ainz seems to be bumbling along, with a pinnacle example being his moment in the arena when the Emperor is meeting with the holy nation representatives, he actually is thinking 10,000 years ahead at a subconscious level(as he joked with Demiurge).
@@XoRandomGuyoX That makes a ton of sense and I hope they confirm that.
_Tl;dr I think He's a good leader and a good tactician which is benefiting the situation but he's fumbling his way through the political scheming. That's probably part of why they the situation blew up in their faces and they need to destroy the kingdom._
He was the guild leader so contrary to his protests of merely being an office worker, he does actually have a fair amount of experience leading people and keeping different personalities in balance. Is it really luck if he's able to lead to multiple different, very strong personalities and allow their various strengths to work for him? Sometimes good leadership is knowing when to sit down and let your talent do it's job with just a little bit of guidance from you.
Plus, he is actually as reasonably good a combat strategist as any MMO junkie. His plan to take down brainwashed Shalltear back in season 1 was 100% deliberate. The best the guardians could come up with at the time was "well let's rush her together and it should work out" because even the sneakiest of them is so used to relying on overwhelming strength that they just don't think like that.
Where he struggles a bit more is dealing with noncombat political situations, particularly scheming and more sophisticated negotiations. He's used to working with friends/loyal servants or fighting enemies not the halfway trying to win over people who aren't clearly one or the other. Albedo and Demiurge, being a succubus and a demon respectively, are used to smiling broadly while screwing someone over which is why they're doing the lions share of the plotting. Stuff like scaring the wits out of the emperor without actually overtly threatening him just doesn't occur Ainz so he just fumbles his way through that.
The whole sitch with destroying the kingdom is kinda the result of that. When Albedo and Demiurge get stymied by human stupidity, he's not devious enough to save the plot so they just kinda collectively default to his general policy of "play nice or die" because without subtlety they default to overkill.
And wow this got long. So yeah, anyway, those are my thoughts. He's handling the situation reasonably well all things considered, but outside of combat he's not particularly good doing subtlety deliberately. Politics is hard.
DUDE I CANT STOP THINKING ABOUT THAT, when you talk on the video the characters is talking to so it looks like they're saying what you saying yk? This is so nice to see hahahha
Just like the Anime it didn't feel like a 16 minutes video, more like 5. Love the content
I didn't know Zanac was such a chad, going alone to meet with Ainz, being willing to sacrifice himself for his people if need be. it's sad they did that for him- and still got screwed over.. haha TAKE THEM TO NEURONIST! "yay thank you!" ahaahhahhaa!
to be fair he didn't state surrender isn't an option because they wont accept it just surrender isn't an option which makes him sound like he is just putting honor before kingdom
Overlord cut content day. Best day of the week
Awesome Video. Hope for Artoria video.
I think one of his friends from Yggdrasil made it to that world. Since that Dragon referred to Ainz as another player... or Puh-layers.
More like other players arrived a loooooong time ago and he still remembers those players from back then.
@@Gameboy0001 riku niichan
No, none of Ainz's friends are in the NW, however other players from Yggdrasil have been transported to the NW across time, usually every 100 years, starting with the 6 Gods, then the 8 Greed Kings, and even 2 of the Heroes from the Thirteen Heroes to which Evil Eye and PDL were members (the hunted down the "evil deities" who were player NPCs), plus others players in the past.
That black and white haired half-elf girl with the Rubik's Cube who is a member of the Black Scripture of the Slane Theocracy was the daughter of a player who was kidnapped and r-ped by the Elf King till she got pregnant to which she fled with her newborn daughter to the Slane Theocracy.
But other than God-Kin, i.e. children of Players, Ainz is the only player currently in the New World but he's no where near the first player to come to the new world, but none of them are his guild mates.
@@enforcerridley158 does ainz is the strongest player that transport in NW?
@@enforcerridley158 it was a players descendant, not a player
the fate of Nazarick is clear, in case you forgot what happened to them before the server shutdown
the thing goes this way, because Ainz refuses what already happened, his beloved guild discarded by most people who build it, seeking happiness? , was sitting alone on a throne of undefeated guild waiting for "death" part of that happiness?...look at TouchMe, I'm sure he knew that those PK bullies was just looking for a fun time by abusing Momonga, but did him let those bullies get their "happiness" by sacrificing Momonga ?, or why E-rantel was saved, it wasn't because Sebas suggestion, it was because of TouchMe, why you have to meddle with other people business, most likely there's "happiness" in that assault as well
TouchMe > AINZ, I wish he was our MC instead
@@shuureqium7376 it would be very annoying
@@shuureqium7376 lol no, then it would be generic evil vs good anime. This is lot more interesting.
What happened to Nazarick before shutdown was cos of it being a game. People got bored and had irl stuff.
This is an actual world so you can't use the same logic.
The series will end with Nazarick winning. In epilogue we might see a time jump 200 yrs later and new players/guild arriving.
Will they fight Nazarick? Hard to say cos history is written by winners and who will live to tell how brutal Nazarick was.
Also, why would you assume that other players will be 'good' guys.
Here I'm just glad it's momonga not ulbert who got "transported"
TBF to the King, Gazef likely told the King that Ainz seemed honorable, and likely took his word for it, having no idea how dishonorably his minions were.
love ur vids 😀
I still don't see why Ainz couldn't accept the head for forgiveness
They were using it as a paper thin excuse to destroy the kingdom to show just how powerful he is.
he was protecting a guilty noble while trying to make himself looking like a martir just because of prejudices, thinking it was a plot for sure. It was an insult.
Didn't the anime make it clear? Carrot and the stick plan. Also, doing that will go against demiurge plans which he don't want to do.
Forgiveness has no merit here.
It's kinda scary to think, that Jircniv's kingdom could be used to make an example of, if Ains would want to.
This guy is already crapping his pants.
He had the sense to quickly become a vassal state in order to not have the worst case scenario happen so although I agree it could've happened, it won't happen imo
Haven't watch the latest season yet, this pretty align much with what I read in Novel with some interesting thing I didn't catch when I read it. I think I'm going to read the novels again.
Hey! LOVE your videos! But can you do a separate video on the Platinum dragon lord? Like how he was explained in light novels and such? What his power levels are compared to those of Nazarick?
Everything he does is to keep his charade going, dude is peer pressured into mass slaughter. It being for nazarik is what he tells himself to avoid feeling pitiful. I miss when mc’s worked towards goals, vs some guy who spent his whole life behind a computer suddenly waking up and being a heartless god. Ainz is thentoilet paper of anime.
Lol that is what u anime only thinks but the actual plan was not massacre at all. It was actually making the kingdom a puppet state but your godly mind Phillip just made it to a massacre.
fan theory which i believe Ainz high intelligence stat is actually influencing him,without Suzuki acttually knowing it
This video came out the same day as the new episode, can't be any closer to a perfect day
Thank you for another great video. But I have to wonder what is happening with THE HONORABLE GENERAL ERIE! and her Goblin Legion? That is a LOT of mouths to feed and what looked like some really high end soldiers to find something to do with. For idle soldiers can be quite a problem for a Nation. Food doesn't seem to be too much of an issue but still, they would take up a lot of other resources like housing and just space.
Hopefully you can provide some answers after having coming back from Greece. Hopefully better then before. Thank you for all the great videos that you do.
Kinda funny how they even considers of killing Albedo is even possible. You'd think being the witness of what happend in Katze Plain, the King is smart enough to know anyone from the Sorcerer Kingdom is a league of their own compare to someone like Gazef
If they had brains then they would have focused on negotiation and even be willing to sacrifice the village and at least take time and try to analyze the power of the soccer kingdom.
