In the dialogue between Zanac and Ainz(which I read somewhere, but that was before vol 14 was officially translated) Zanac asked if Ainz’s actions were not already sufficient in making his point. Ainz retorts “I thought my demonstration on the Katze Plains was already sufficient in dissuading opposition, and yet a noble from your kingdom still provoked me… Perhaps if I accept your surrender it would grant some years of peace, but how many? A decade, maybe two, or possibly a century? However what about those that come later, those that did not experience firsthand my kingdom’s wrath? Would they not grow bold and repeat history like that noble? I don’t want to fight anymore than necessary. Which is why I want to make a message that is obvious enough for any fool to understand. A visible reminder that will not fade into history and ensure that my children will be able to enjoy their peaceful days of happiness for many centuries to come.” Zanac hearing that explanation found it hard to argue with Ainz any further.
especially since he knew firsthand how foolish his country nobles can be. Heck the whole war basically started by a small noble foolishness while Zanac tried really2 hard not to offend Ainz
because Zanac doesn't know what happened, as viewers, my argument would be, "then how about your group, how many decade you hold that fame as undefeated, until those who support you can no longer stay with you?, what will happen next?, you stay on the throne alone, waiting for your death, ...then what will happen to your successor?, is violence is the only way you can teach them about life?, then what will they do after you gone when violence is all they know?"
@Electron Resonator Well Undead have no life expectancy so Ainz could exist indefinitely, the same applies to demons and dragons. So the majority of Ainz’s guardians would exist for as long as he does. Also Zanac hearing Ainz call his subjects(as far as Zanac knew he was referring to all of his subjects not any specific group) as his children re-contextualizes his perspective of Ainz. Zanac thought of Ainz as a tyrant that forces his subordinates and subject's into being submissive through fear. Yet the conversation revealed Ainz cares for and genuinely loves his people, something Zanac never believed an undead could be capable of. Which was why Zanac wondered if he was undeserving of becoming king if a true king(like Ainz or Ramposa) considers all of their subjects as their children, then Zanac knew that he could not act or think in such a way.
Ainz already said that he have no love for the people outside of his subordinate, that's why for him to be so angry and ordered a proper burial for Zanac just show how much respect Ainz give to the man. This probably the only time Ainz being so angry for something that isn't related to Floor Guardian or his Guild friends. (The closest second being the time the adventurer team he traveled with for a while on Season 1 got murdered by clementine) RIP Zanac. One of the few decent man from the Kingdom.
He displayed the same level of respect for Zanac as to Stronoff. I guess a little more Gazef because of the kind of loyalty he express, almost like any other NPC in Nazarick towards Ainz.
I'm not sure how this is emphasized in the LNs, as I'm an Anime-Only. I think Ainz values Loyalty a lot... He must have considered people with absolutely loyalty to be respected. I mean it reflects on his own character. His loyalty towards the Guild Ainz Ool Gown or Nine's Own Goal. I believe it's why he's infuriated by the thoughts of betrayal that was shown here... Not to mention; they, the nobles, *pledge loyalty* when they had *betrayed their own king, right infront of Ainz himself* just to save their skins. I can't imagine any action more... I'd say foolish but there is no way to describe how stupid that is.
@@mrmechpunch4653 Much to be consider that their opinions wheights more than Pestonia or Nigredo. I guess thoughts of people like Zanak and Stronof keep alive his human nature, as he once said that his racial features does not contemplates human suffering as something bad. In fact i've been watching a progression towards evil, to pleased Nazarick's populations. This new world is alot more chaotic than a stable yet pacific world in wich he previously lives, in fact the number one reason PK exist in most if not every MMO is because you can do something that can't do in real life knowing that does not affect the physical integrity of other players. In that sense i think Ainz still believes he is in a game, and hopes his friends discovers it soon so they all playe together as before. So far we haven't see him enjoying the new world, instead he is working without rest for Nazarick, if Ygdrassil was an scape valve from reality, he still doing what he does at work, and much to his persona admits, living in a world from the sidelines.
I love how Zanac was the sleaziest and most stereotypically evil looking of all his siblings, but his brother was an airheaded puppet, matched only by his monster of a sister, He was literally the most virtuous and honorable of them all. R.I.P. Re-Estize's only hope, ruined by catastrophically stupid nobility... Praise be to Bone-Papa, for cleansing the world of such filth.
Actually, Barbro was worse than a puppet. He was a power-hungry a**hole who planned to kill all the nobles in the Nobility Faction since he knew they would not obey him.
Remember what ainz said to the intruders of nazarick in season 3, painless death is the best forgiveness that nazarick could give, and ainz already promised zanac to give painless death to him and maybe his troops, how foolish the nobles of the kingdom to choose survive instead of death, and he even bring his family to unlimited sufferings, even ainz is not interested in war again, how foolish they are ruined ainz mood to that extent
that's what those people do best. to rob. wouldn't be surprised if those "nobles" are actually pretty corrupt, turning their backs on their country and people to save their own skin. Such foolishness and cowardice. 2 of the things Ainz hates
I never expect to have respect for Zanac at the last moment and here we are.. the man was no saint but he sure had balls of steel unfortunately and unknowingly he got involved in something way bigger than him. RIP o7
I've read somewhere that Ainz was having reservations about the annihilation and was considering the surrender before receiving Zanac's head. It's so fitting that the kingdom was spared because of Ainz's respect for Stronoff and will now be destroyed because of his respect for Zanac.
Nigredo and Pestonya was begging Ainz to not kill the people within Zanacs kingdom (they have these thoughts because of their good Karma) but because Ainz felt threatened, he went on with the attack. Pestonya would later ask Ainz to reconsider his actions and at least let some people run from the kingdom but after seeng how the nobles violently killed Zanac, he had no other option to annihilate them. In the light novel the conversation Ainz had with Zanac was a little different as eventually Zanac would understand Ainz's side of everything but knew death was imminent.
@@404Yaiba he still kept his promise by sparing some. He already spared the people that the Four Armaments were guarding. He let them run while he went straight for the Kingdom capital. He told Cochytus and Mare not to spare the army defending the capital.

True, when we first see him back then he look like your typical scheming prince hungry to be a king by any means but he's actually cool guy What's left to judge by appearance when we have a bug maid, skeleton king as a protagonist, and whatever is cocytus
This shows the other side of royalty and honor. We have the lizardmen who sacrificed their lives and earning freedom on a final gambit, then we have these noblemen who're selfish and took the easy way out.
Watching back I now understand why Zanec wanted to make sure his brother was dead or killed, he wanted to make sure that either he wasn't working for Ainz or that he couldn't come back for the throne when he died to ruin the nation even more than it already was.
While it kinda makes sense, think about it. Ainz told him his plan of leveling the kingdom. Making an example out of them by raising it to the ground and leaving it as such for a constant reminder of what happens when you cross the Sorcerer Kingdom. To what kingdom would his brother return to ruin if there is none left.
@@ChesterZirawin I get your point...however Zanek and almost all the royal family hated the eldest brother as he was basically a puppet, string for string for the Nobles to eventually gain power for themselves fully. Also Zanek had planned to actually win no matter what, so it wouldn't be hard to believe that he still had that mindset up till his death. Meaning Zanek wasn't even considering losing which is why he moreso asked if his brother was dead to ponder if he would become a later threat or if he may have been the spy in their network feeding info. Even if the brother were to return to rubble he could become a thorn in everyones sides later on just simply by being a annoyance. But was maybe pondering him showing up to throw a rebellion (which happened anyway by the brothers puppet masters) or even something else...though what idk.
i think this is second time Ainz really angry for people outside Nazarick, first the adventures he travel with, now with Zanac Ainz really care for people he respected.
@@toffen5454 I think what they meant was that Ainz was angry FOR said person. He was angry AT the tomb raiders. He was angry FOR the adventurer group and Zanac.
@@toffen5454 He gave them a choice already and basically gave a fair warning as momonga. That’s why he said “then my question was foolish” somewhere along that line. They were made up of people who was willing to kill for money. I mean it’s survival of the fittest at that point.
The talk showed Ainz that someone has some sense as well as someone worth putting his gaze on(remember that he's monitoring Jircniv for the sake of copying him to become a better ruler). He succinctly summed up what he's planning for Re-estize(that's after considering pestonya and nigredo's plea). Then after, he was showed the head of the very person that interested him. Imagine looking for games and you finally found something that's worth your time only to realize that majority of it's gameplay is locked behind a paywall. You'll lose interest quickly. That's probably what happened to Ainz knowing full well the kingdom is riddled with people similar to those nobles.
The first time, when I found Zanac I thought he is a dump and a selfish man but finally, not at all he is such a good royal man ever I've seen in this anime. Big respect for Zanac and RIP to the true king
@@ginpachisensei6235 Yes, and if I'm not mistaken they have around 500 of them. That's mean you need at least a combine force of 500 nations to fight against...those horses :P
Man I was just starting to love Zanac, beside having massive ball, he act and think very maturely. He even keep his morale code as royalty to fight to the end despite being outnumbered. When Ainz blatantly said he will massacre every single one of them and turn their empire into nothing but rubble just for the sake of chasing his own personal happiness, or admit that one of his subordinates did indeed kill his late brother, Zanac still able to maintain his composure and accept it like it was some normal thing to hear in a conversation. Any normal person would immediately start cursing the hell out of Ainz or simply beg for his mercy. Wish i could see more Zanac in action. 😭😭😭
The willingness to stand before and even beside the Sorcerer King with no fear of death while holding loyalty and resolve for his Kingdom is what makes Zanac a true king. Its pitiful that he'll never be able to do so Ainz has every right to massacre the Re-Estize Kingdom
Not really , there is no right in murdering innocent citizens , absolutely no right and no reason expect if u r evil and thats whats ainz is , he isnt a good kind mc who saves people lol he is the bad guy in this story
@@Mfmail12484 It's not that simple, Ainz without a doubt is not a a good guy but he's not pure evil either. He's a very morally grey character who understands the superiority of brutal efficiency over idealism.
@@Mfmail12484 Ainz simply does what every true ruler should do: protect and favor the interests of his people, with every means at his disposal and, of course, reign with mercy and iron fist in equal measure, even at the cost of destroying an opposing nation. . King Ramposa is a good king, but he does not have the stomach to impose his will on the nobles because he fears a civil war and consequently the suffering of the people, and this "lack of will" has made the kingdom rot little by little. irreparable. Zanac and Renner could have healed it over time, but it's not a certainty like the rampant corruption that plagues the kingdom. "A kingdom where the authority of his king is null is not a real kingdom."
@@Mfmail12484 you dont understand anything,,,, in this world, someone who have bigger fist, he's the ruler,,,,,, if ainz is weak , something like this will be hapening to him too,,,, Sorry for bad english
The prince negotiated that Ainz won't make the people suffer an agonizing death. Ainz did gain some bit of respect for the prince. So these traitors death would be different.
Guess this is the only close we get get to see how a New World Person would truly understand the REAL nature of Momonga. As an anime only im very sad with Zanac death. RIP
Zanac could've made the kingdom prosper but Jircniv methods had already destroyed the kingdom from within well before ainz even got there, not to mention gazef would've died against the fire scriptures. They had not enough food, crime rates were at an all time high, corruption was rampant and the empire was constantly harassing them with wars during the harvest season. Only a miracle could've saved them.
That miracle would've been the death of Prince Barbro. Maruyama confirmed that if Ainz hadn't meddled with them but Zanac took the throne, the Kingdom would've improved greatly from his work. Rip the king.
@@Sassaparilla i think zanac and marquis raeven can take the king's throne, after becoming king zanac will hold the royal faction and raeven is one of the most influential in the noble faction, and maybe they can unite the 2 factions so that there is no civil war when the dismissal of the corrupt nobles
20:41 I can't see any expression in his face, since its only a skull for face. But you can perceive the disappointment in his reaction. He respected the man enough to promise him a quick death, and yet those nobles messed things up. ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Ainz respect the people who have determination even in the death, Zanac have that determination and even if the battle is just a massacre, Ainz want to see a good battle from a good king...but the subordinates was too weak and cowards...
Ainz: Shame on your houses for such barbarity. Shame Nobles: But...you're enemies. Ainz: HE WAS A KING RE-ESTIZE!...A King...To die in this sordid way, quartered like some low thief...shame
Ainz respects one thing the most and that's loyalty. He's shown it a few times. First time, saving Gazef during the Carne Village raid by the theocracy. Second time after meeting the adventuring team Swords of Darkness, and seeing their killing brought to justice. Third time, during the Nazerick exploration trap, allowing the girl to be killed swiftly, unlike her companions. Then on the Kaste plain fighting against Gazef, holding the strongest loyalty to his kingdom, in order to protect it. Aside from possibly holding similar levels of respect for Gazef to Prince Zanac after speaking with him, he despises disloyalty. What the noble's did, showed him one of his greatest sins. "Greater love hath no man than this, that he lay down his life for his friends"
F por Zanac Cuando Por Fin Empezo a Interesarme Van y lo Matan! Ainz iba a matarlo igualmente pero de una forma honrada! BIEN MERECIDO EL CASTIGO PARA ESOS TRAIDORES!
i have my fair share of prejudices on the lad but so far this is the only time i get to see a rational king with a fat body and probably the first time i respected this king good lord i need my head straight
This scene made a huge impression on me. Ainz decided to annihilate them for the sake of his loved ones. And in order to confirm this, Zanuck went alone as a general to Ainz, who was far stronger than him. During the meeting, Zanuck may have even thought about being killed by Ainz. Of course, Ainz had no intention of killing Zanuck outside of war, so they talked as equals and the discussion became parallel. Both Ainz and Zanuck had a mutually respectful meeting, and were able to understand each other even if they were unable to accept the cruelty. If they had met at a peace conference instead of on the battlefield, they would have become best friends and understanding. Ainz is unable to keep his promise to "give Zanuck a peaceful death" and feels great regret and anger. As a commentator myself, Zanuck is my favorite character in Overlord. I'm sad that this is the end of his role. Even though it's 2024, I often revisit Overlord lol
it seems that some people here think Zanac is a jerk noble, plus his posture is quite legitimately categorized as a bad noble like in other anime, but after seeing this episode, I myself quite appreciate Zanac because it is very good and very good people can have a better life good -F for Wise King Candidate
well Zanac is a jerk. he's an ass, and he held little trust in anyone. He was very mean to his sister but considering how much of a snake she is, there is little doubt he didn't know what she was. He was very mean to his eldest brother, but when you consider what a POS his elder brother was you can understand that. The problem the audience has is they never saw him from his POV. We are introduced from Renner's POV, and by the time we start to figure out what a duplicitous snake she is our opinion of Zanec is tainted. But when looked at from the outside, he might have been one of the few good people in the kingdom. He feared his sister, but he knew she was a genius so he tried at least to take her seriously (even if he didn't trust her anywhere near the capital), he loathed his father's mishandling of the kingdom and the idiot nobels. In the end it's not that Zanec did an about face in this episode, he's always been on the "side of angels" we've just been watching the show from the POV of various devils.
First time i see ainz get really angry because hekeran lied about ainz's friends, second time is seeing zanac's head. The one king who has his respect and cant wait for ainz get really mad because he finally know the only thing which brainswashed shalltear is slaine theocracy. So mad until the emotional limit cant hold it anymore.
He's actually way more angry than it shows in the anime when lupusregina messed up her task so I'll count that as well in the episode of "don't make ainz angry"
@@mogosbinted7660 Also when Ainz realized that someone took control of Shalltear using a World Item, and Wish Upon the Star didn't work, which means he must kill her in order to break the mind control.
I know the centre is Zanac's death, but no one talking abt the Member of The Black Scripture, they are pretty strong and equal to Battle Maids Pleiades. I hope they are get more screen time to show what they power
Lets not forget this all wouldn't have happened if the humans hadn't attacked Ainz first. Most of these kingdoms would be a independent if they stayed in their place, but greed and power spoiled them and has gotten many of their people killed.
Zanac was a real one. a display of true nobility. not like those greedy and selfish noble. he would've been a great king. Ains really respect him and man did he got mad what happen to him
The worst part of this? They actually damned themselves. Ains was considering calling off the massacre and instead just enslaving them as a vassal state because of his respect for Zanac and his willingness to try to negotiate for the lives of his people, damn the costs. By killing him, they sealed their fates. That's what Ains meant at the end by, "I've lost interest". Zanac had piqued his interest, even if just a little, and to someone like Ains that might be all you need to stay alive (and out of Neuronist's clutches) like the other humans he knows. The WORST thing you can do is make him not care about you.
Wait we already made it this far with the anime? They must be planning on adapting the Holy Kingdom Arc for the movie because it was supposed to be next in the LN Also, we're getting awfully close to where the LN is currently at for the English translations, I never thought the anime would actually catch up lol
me pregunto si podran animar con detalles el delicioso y la escena final de la temporada .. cuando albedo lleva al tonto noble en ese camino de sangre de gente em......da.
Literal todos los comentarios en inglés analizando las acciones y personajes de Zanac y Ainz, y el único comentario en español hablando que quiere que animen bien el delicioso xd
A cabron!!! Cual delicioso que no me acuerdo??? Lo único más cercano que me viene a la cabeza es lo de Renner y aún así solo lo pensó pero al final no quiso.
Mad respect to Zanac. Even Ainz gave him a proper burial, that's never happened before. His siblings is disgusting. First, his brother, such an idiot who wanted to be king to fulfill his arrogance. Second, his sister sells her soul and any information about her kingdom to an evil being. They are bad products of the human race, but at least Zanac died as a human with pride and respect from his enemies. F
This is Not exactly what lord Ainz wanted that king Zanac nobility to betray him? You know what it is exactly it's called self-preservation? More likely it was probably going to be a war of intimidation. I remember what Lord Ainz said exactly he wanted happiness! It looks like he's looking for peace and happiness. And also searching for the Supreme Beings.
Something that rly bugs me tho... There's supposed to be 10,000 undead troops with Ainz. I get the 400,000 ReEstize army had to b cut down visually, but... There's only a small escort at BEST with Ainz. 😭
ainz is probably gonna hold back in this war out of respect for zanac after they meet but because of what the nobles did to him thats not an option anymore
@@НурэльСулайманов he's probably saying by holding back means ainz will give them painless/gentle death like what he said to zanac well zanac is dead and ainz is mad so yeah you already know what's going to happen
@ Нурэль Сулайманов Actually in the novel Ainz was having reservations in massacring the remaining people of the Kingdom after his discussion with Zanac. The respect he developed for the would-be king was that strong Ainz was willing to change the plan and accept their surrender. Until the nobles f*cked everything up with their “tribute” to Ainz. Hence why Ainz said “I’ve lost interest.” meaning any doubts he might have had about the massacre had been completely resolved. He no longer cared if it was just or amoral, Ainz just wanted this rotten kingdom destroyed.
You won't find son wu in any kind of reaction mashup anymore, because he is barely uploading anything. His last reaction to overlord was ep4 and we are already at ep10.
Zanac wearing Stronoff's armor is reasonable because it's the only armor that can hold Zanac's massive balls.

Watching back I now understand why Zanec wanted to make sure his brother was dead or killed, he wanted to make sure that either he wasn't working for Ainz or that he couldn't come back for the throne when he died to ruin the nation even more than it already was.
While it kinda makes sense, think about it. Ainz told him his plan of leveling the kingdom. Making an example out of them by raising it to the ground and leaving it as such for a constant reminder of what happens when you cross the Sorcerer Kingdom. To what kingdom would his brother return to ruin if there is none left.
@@ChesterZirawin I get your point...however Zanek and almost all the royal family hated the eldest brother as he was basically a puppet, string for string for the Nobles to eventually gain power for themselves fully. Also Zanek had planned to actually win no matter what, so it wouldn't be hard to believe that he still had that mindset up till his death. Meaning Zanek wasn't even considering losing which is why he moreso asked if his brother was dead to ponder if he would become a later threat or if he may have been the spy in their network feeding info.
Even if the brother were to return to rubble he could become a thorn in everyones sides later on just simply by being a annoyance. But was maybe pondering him showing up to throw a rebellion (which happened anyway by the brothers puppet masters) or even something else...though what idk.
ザナックを尊敬した。最後まで、王族だった。時として、裏切りは最善の選択だけど。礼節を重んじる国の人間からすると、あの貴族達の末路は当然であり、アインズの静かな怒りを視聴者として素直に受け取る事ができました。
自分が王に向いていないと理解してもなお王国の未来の為にアインズとの対話に臨んで覚悟を決めた姿がカッコよかった
Rest in peace zanac 😭
✊🏻
and in pieces because... y'know
He was too good for the kingdom
zanac was a great man. i will also be pissed if i was ainz. he did a right decision sending them to the neuronist
i think this is second time Ainz really angry for people outside Nazarick, first the adventures he travel with, now with Zanac
Ainz really care for people he respected.
u forgot the worker thieves that invade nazarick in season 3
@@toffen5454 I think what they meant was that Ainz was angry FOR said person. He was angry AT the tomb raiders. He was angry FOR the adventurer group and Zanac.
@@toffen5454 He gave them a choice already and basically gave a fair warning as momonga. That’s why he said “then my question was foolish” somewhere along that line. They were made up of people who was willing to kill for money. I mean it’s survival of the fittest at that point.
The talk showed Ainz that someone has some sense as well as someone worth putting his gaze on(remember that he's monitoring Jircniv for the sake of copying him to become a better ruler). He succinctly summed up what he's planning for Re-estize(that's after considering pestonya and nigredo's plea). Then after, he was showed the head of the very person that interested him.
Imagine looking for games and you finally found something that's worth your time only to realize that majority of it's gameplay is locked behind a paywall. You'll lose interest quickly. That's probably what happened to Ainz knowing full well the kingdom is riddled with people similar to those nobles.
Ainz was actually having doubts about this War, but he was reminded about human greed, something he knew too well from his old world
The first time, when I found Zanac I thought he is a dump and a selfish man but finally, not at all he is such a good royal man ever I've seen in this anime. Big respect for Zanac and RIP to the true king
One thing Overlord loves emphasizing is don't judge a book by its cover.
@@saljpal3 you right, i judge him to soon and when i see him die in that way i got furious, because i learned how to respect him.
Zanac, the king with balls of steel, you will be remembered.
I miss Zanac already, he was a pretty interesting character. RIP my friend ♥
バカがやらかさなくてもいずれ他のバカ貴族がやらかしてたのが想像出来る

Zanac drank that water to show respect to Ainz, by not doubting it was poisoned
Zanac didn't show any fear of death he took his death like a Chad
like ainz said he is a dauntless man

Never did I think I’d miss Prince Zanac

*Riding a soul eater which can destroy a nation* :D
Is this canon?
@@ginpachisensei6235 yeah Maruyama stated that their presence alone is enough to cause a national state-level emergency
@@sora6252 But it was the closest thing to a horse , its would be embarrassing for a king come on foot…
@@ginpachisensei6235 Yes, and if I'm not mistaken they have around 500 of them. That's mean you need at least a combine force of 500 nations to fight against...those horses :P
Like he say before he is hypocrite lol
Man I was just starting to love Zanac, beside having massive ball, he act and think very maturely. He even keep his morale code as royalty to fight to the end despite being outnumbered.
When Ainz blatantly said he will massacre every single one of them and turn their empire into nothing but rubble just for the sake of chasing his own personal happiness, or admit that one of his subordinates did indeed kill his late brother, Zanac still able to maintain his composure and accept it like it was some normal thing to hear in a conversation. Any normal person would immediately start cursing the hell out of Ainz or simply beg for his mercy. Wish i could see more Zanac in action. 😭😭😭
Zanac just wanted his nation to be respected. He stood up like warriors and think like a king.
The willingness to stand before and even beside the Sorcerer King with no fear of death while holding loyalty and resolve for his Kingdom is what makes Zanac a true king. Its pitiful that he'll never be able to do so
Ainz has every right to massacre the Re-Estize Kingdom
Not really , there is no right in murdering innocent citizens , absolutely no right and no reason expect if u r evil and thats whats ainz is , he isnt a good kind mc who saves people lol he is the bad guy in this story
@@Mfmail12484 It's not that simple, Ainz without a doubt is not a a good guy but he's not pure evil either. He's a very morally grey character who understands the superiority of brutal efficiency over idealism.
He would be a good Enterpreneur.
If he were to be reincarnated in Our world he'll be one of those High class people that achieved Amazing feat
@@Mfmail12484 Ainz simply does what every true ruler should do: protect and favor the interests of his people, with every means at his disposal and, of course, reign with mercy and iron fist in equal measure, even at the cost of destroying an opposing nation. . King Ramposa is a good king, but he does not have the stomach to impose his will on the nobles because he fears a civil war and consequently the suffering of the people, and this "lack of will" has made the kingdom rot little by little. irreparable. Zanac and Renner could have healed it over time, but it's not a certainty like the rampant corruption that plagues the kingdom.
"A kingdom where the authority of his king is null is not a real kingdom."
@@Mfmail12484 you dont understand anything,,,, in this world, someone who have bigger fist, he's the ruler,,,,,, if ainz is weak , something like this will be hapening to him too,,,,
Sorry for bad english
The prince negotiated that Ainz won't make the people suffer an agonizing death. Ainz did gain some bit of respect for the prince. So these traitors death would be different.
The Nobles: "Look, it is DEATH itself seated on that throne... How can we piss him?"
Guess this is the only close we get get to see how a New World Person would truly understand the REAL nature of Momonga. As an anime only im very sad with Zanac death.
RIP
And that's why Ainz was so pissed. He *Finally* finds someone who truly gets him as a person, *only for him to get offed like that.*
RIP Zanac
he think reasonable despite the current kingdom situation
Ainz promised a gentle death to Zanic so those nobles ruining that got them the worst sentence imaginable.
Zanac could've made the kingdom prosper but Jircniv methods had already destroyed the kingdom from within well before ainz even got there, not to mention gazef would've died against the fire scriptures. They had not enough food, crime rates were at an all time high, corruption was rampant and the empire was constantly harassing them with wars during the harvest season. Only a miracle could've saved them.
That miracle would've been the death of Prince Barbro. Maruyama confirmed that if Ainz hadn't meddled with them but Zanac took the throne, the Kingdom would've improved greatly from his work. Rip the king.
@@Sassaparilla i think zanac and marquis raeven can take the king's throne, after becoming king zanac will hold the royal faction and raeven is one of the most influential in the noble faction, and maybe they can unite the 2 factions so that there is no civil war when the dismissal of the corrupt nobles
the king had a chance to wipe out the noble and keep them under control, but he didn't and his son paid the price.
not just his son but everybody in his kingdom paid the price for his arrogance.
I would say naivety.
Glad that those traitors and cowards gonna get what they deserve, my man zanac died fighting what a mad lad
20:41 I can't see any expression in his face, since its only a skull for face. But you can perceive the disappointment in his reaction. He respected the man enough to promise him a quick death, and yet those nobles messed things up. ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Never thought, that will be respecting Zanac. For me he was always kinda nasty man, but now... It was truly honorable way to finish your life.
When Ainz said send "them" to Neuronist, he meant the nobles AND their families
Nice, natural selection
Oh, so sad...
Anyway
🤣🤣🤣
Zanac has more balls than any ppl in the new world, Maybe my words are not enough to describe my respect for zanac
thanks as always brother
Cocytus Commander= Yeah!
Mare Vice Commander = Hell await
Ainz respect the people who have determination even in the death, Zanac have that determination and even if the battle is just a massacre, Ainz want to see a good battle from a good king...but the subordinates was too weak and cowards...
Ainz: Shame on your houses for such barbarity. Shame
Nobles: But...you're enemies.
Ainz: HE WAS A KING RE-ESTIZE!...A King...To die in this sordid way, quartered like some low thief...shame
when i heard that name... i immediately know that those pitiful noble will face something...they have never face 😈
今回は泣けたなぁ
The ending was fireeeee
この回は見事にアインズの地雷ぶち抜いたよなー😂ザナックの生き様カッコよかったのに…😢
聖王国編最高だったぜ👍
"Holy Kingdom" was the best😂😂😂
Ainz respects one thing the most and that's loyalty. He's shown it a few times. First time, saving Gazef during the Carne Village raid by the theocracy. Second time after meeting the adventuring team Swords of Darkness, and seeing their killing brought to justice. Third time, during the Nazerick exploration trap, allowing the girl to be killed swiftly, unlike her companions. Then on the Kaste plain fighting against Gazef, holding the strongest loyalty to his kingdom, in order to protect it.
Aside from possibly holding similar levels of respect for Gazef to Prince Zanac after speaking with him, he despises disloyalty. What the noble's did, showed him one of his greatest sins.
"Greater love hath no man than this, that he lay down his life for his friends"
19:52 ザナックかっこいい😭😭😭
Rip zanac
in this episode I lost myself on " good job, boss " hahahah
F por Zanac Cuando Por Fin Empezo a Interesarme Van y lo Matan!
Ainz iba a matarlo igualmente pero de una forma honrada!
BIEN MERECIDO EL CASTIGO PARA ESOS TRAIDORES!
i have my fair share of prejudices on the lad but so far this is the only time i get to see a rational king with a fat body and probably the first time i respected this king good lord i need my head straight
Best reaction mashup!
He died standing, a true king till the very end.
-Shame! Shame on the House of Ptolomies for such barbarity.
-But... you are enemies?
-He was a consul of Rome!
This scene made a huge impression on me.
Ainz decided to annihilate them for the sake of his loved ones. And in order to confirm this, Zanuck went alone as a general to Ainz, who was far stronger than him.
During the meeting, Zanuck may have even thought about being killed by Ainz.
Of course, Ainz had no intention of killing Zanuck outside of war, so they talked as equals and the discussion became parallel.
Both Ainz and Zanuck had a mutually respectful meeting, and were able to understand each other even if they were unable to accept the cruelty.
If they had met at a peace conference instead of on the battlefield, they would have become best friends and understanding.
Ainz is unable to keep his promise to "give Zanuck a peaceful death" and feels great regret and anger. As a commentator myself, Zanuck is my favorite character in Overlord. I'm sad that this is the end of his role.
Even though it's 2024, I often revisit Overlord lol
Zanac is true prince
this ep makes me shivers 🥶🥶🥶
This is Philip dumb plan fault 😂
Interesting seeing Clementines brother from the Black Scripture
it seems that some people here think Zanac is a jerk noble, plus his posture is quite legitimately categorized as a bad noble like in other anime, but after seeing this episode, I myself quite appreciate Zanac because it is very good and very good people can have a better life good -F for
Wise King Candidate
well Zanac is a jerk. he's an ass, and he held little trust in anyone. He was very mean to his sister but considering how much of a snake she is, there is little doubt he didn't know what she was. He was very mean to his eldest brother, but when you consider what a POS his elder brother was you can understand that.
The problem the audience has is they never saw him from his POV. We are introduced from Renner's POV, and by the time we start to figure out what a duplicitous snake she is our opinion of Zanec is tainted. But when looked at from the outside, he might have been one of the few good people in the kingdom. He feared his sister, but he knew she was a genius so he tried at least to take her seriously (even if he didn't trust her anywhere near the capital), he loathed his father's mishandling of the kingdom and the idiot nobels.
In the end it's not that Zanec did an about face in this episode, he's always been on the "side of angels" we've just been watching the show from the POV of various devils.
Thanks for the video bro.
Dang... It is what it is, Zanac. Pouring one out for you. The last true noble. 🍷
First time i see ainz get really angry because hekeran lied about ainz's friends, second time is seeing zanac's head. The one king who has his respect and cant wait for ainz get really mad because he finally know the only thing which brainswashed shalltear is slaine theocracy. So mad until the emotional limit cant hold it anymore.
He's actually way more angry than it shows in the anime when lupusregina messed up her task so I'll count that as well in the episode of "don't make ainz angry"
@@mogosbinted7660 Also when Ainz realized that someone took control of Shalltear using a World Item, and Wish Upon the Star didn't work, which means he must kill her in order to break the mind control.
@@mediumtext8038 he was also really pissed at himself, as he believed he had been negligent.
I know the centre is Zanac's death, but no one talking abt the Member of The Black Scripture, they are pretty strong and equal to Battle Maids Pleiades. I hope they are get more screen time to show what they power
Lets not forget this all wouldn't have happened if the humans hadn't attacked Ainz first. Most of these kingdoms would be a independent if they stayed in their place, but greed and power spoiled them and has gotten many of their people killed.
Zanac was a real one. a display of true nobility. not like those greedy and selfish noble. he would've been a great king.
Ains really respect him and man did he got mad what happen to him
The worst part of this?
They actually damned themselves. Ains was considering calling off the massacre and instead just enslaving them as a vassal state because of his respect for Zanac and his willingness to try to negotiate for the lives of his people, damn the costs.
By killing him, they sealed their fates. That's what Ains meant at the end by, "I've lost interest". Zanac had piqued his interest, even if just a little, and to someone like Ains that might be all you need to stay alive (and out of Neuronist's clutches) like the other humans he knows. The WORST thing you can do is make him not care about you.
thanks man🤟
Wait we already made it this far with the anime? They must be planning on adapting the Holy Kingdom Arc for the movie because it was supposed to be next in the LN

bro was mad mad
may i ask about the leader of the black scripture, he looks awfully similar to clementine are they related in some way?
He is Clementine's brother. She is former part of the group.
@@anonfinally1692 ahh i see thanks for the explanation
Mad respect to Zanac. Even Ainz gave him a proper burial, that's never happened before. His siblings is disgusting. First, his brother, such an idiot who wanted to be king to fulfill his arrogance. Second, his sister sells her soul and any information about her kingdom to an evil being. They are bad products of the human race, but at least Zanac died as a human with pride and respect from his enemies. F
That dude looks like a male version of clementine maybe siblings cause if not that is just lame design to make and zanac doesn't deserve that. :(
In the LN its confirmed that he is indeed Clementine's brother. Though i hoped him to look slightly less similar because how he looks is just freaky.
ナザリックにおいては死こそ救済である。
死を遅らせる事は救済なき拷問になる
This is Not exactly what lord Ainz wanted that king Zanac nobility to betray him? You know what it is exactly it's called self-preservation? More likely it was probably going to be a war of intimidation. I remember what Lord Ainz said exactly he wanted happiness! It looks like he's looking for peace and happiness. And also searching for the Supreme Beings.
He was a consul of Rome!!!
I was so sad for that price or king
truly merciless madou ou
He was mad mad tbh

Zanac was a good character. Too bad he died that way.
ainz is probably gonna hold back in this war out of respect for zanac after they meet but because of what the nobles did to him thats not an option anymore
No, it was impossible to spare the kingdom, they would do it of any conditions
@@НурэльСулайманов he's probably saying by holding back means ainz will give them painless/gentle death like what he said to zanac well zanac is dead and ainz is mad so yeah you already know what's going to happen
@ Нурэль Сулайманов
Actually in the novel Ainz was having reservations in massacring the remaining people of the Kingdom after his discussion with Zanac. The respect he developed for the would-be king was that strong Ainz was willing to change the plan and accept their surrender.
Until the nobles f*cked everything up with their “tribute” to Ainz. Hence why Ainz said “I’ve lost interest.” meaning any doubts he might have had about the massacre had been completely resolved. He no longer cared if it was just or amoral, Ainz just wanted this rotten kingdom destroyed.
Zantac would make a better leader than most presidents and PM we have in our world. Rip to this chubby man with giant balls
