Doesn't ever say it in the anime, but the "Great Hole" they took the to lovers to is the den of a parasitic worm monster. Those two were stuffed with eggs used as nests, and then healed up. This goes on for a looooooong time until they finally can't be healed anymore. The whole time they are paralyzed staring at each other so they can see the agony they are both going through.

It was just insanely evil when I first saw this and the last two. Ainz straight up entrapped the Workers and then tortured them ceaselessly. Before the things he did were either morally ambiguous or downplayed/glossed over.

Anyways the people that attacked shalltear were the Black scripture of the slane theocracy and the armored dude was the Platinum Dragon King, which they will probably face in Season 4(i hope) cuz they showed him in the opening. Yeah apparently the season 4 takes place during the volume 10, 11, and 14 of the novel and volumes 12-13 are gonna be made into a movie yeah I don’t know how they’re gonna fit in 14 if they skip 12 and 13 but those two are also quite separate to the main story so I guess it might work(vol. 12&13 take place in the Roble Holy Kingdom, my fav arc so far)

And having to stop forward momentum to emphasize traits you wanted to express but weren't able to during said momentum is a crutch play, ideally you would combine the two.

If some of you are wondering, the inconsistency wasn't regarding Momon. It was the small hope that Ainz could have possibly found another member/friend of the guild. So when Hekkeran made up the story saying "Give AINZ my regards." That was the slip up. His friends regard him as Momonga as that's his original name and he only changed to Ainz afterwards.

It wasn’t till I read the novels that I realized Ainz was actually going to kill them honorably in combat, until Hekkaran tried to bluff him. It was only after Ainz was fed false hope that he changed his mind from regarding them as warriors to filthy thieves. So even though Ainz’s initial wrath was suppressed he was still so pissed off that he believed Foresight deserved the fate he decided for them. And since he had recently felt the pain of false hope, he decided that Arche’s mercy was to reveal to her that there was no hope before ending her. As twisted as that is her fate was very merciful compared to the rest of the workers.

What’s really f*ed up is what the author said happened to Arche’s sisters.

Also, without Arche's providing money, the lenders liquidated all her family assets and then the sisters were sold into slavery to finish paying the debt, they died from overwork as slaves and, according to many, most likely they worked in the same "industry" as Tuare... so you can imagine what was the kind of "overwork" they died from.

He lost his empathy when he was turned into a skeleton. He's a sociopath. It is not an "innocent" evil as you say. Ainz is well aware that what he is doing is evil, very evil. He just doesn't care anymore, as he lacks empathy for any living creature. And his evil deeds benefit him and Nazarick. A child can be evil, but it's usually because they are ignorant of the greater world. Not because they genuinely don't value anything else, they are just immature. Ainz evilness doesn't stem from the same place. He is just pure evil, 110%. Fully aware and accepting. He kills people, uses them as food or hosts for parasites, and revives them just to do it all over again. Need I remind you, he was also a human once too. It's a great show, don't get me wrong.

[@TakonoTakoUwU]

Shhh don't say Sourcerer king yet!

[@SajoGotoru]

@@TakonoTakoUwU Pretty sure they've finished this ages ago in Patreon.

[@gamerfichter5377]

That's an episode I have been waiting for

[@Alteronx]

I love people's realization only now that they are indeed not the on the hero's team. But personally I'm here for demon time

[@plaguedoctor_139]

Eldritch Horror Time

[@ZoarkadoZenos]

I just realized something from Albedo's reaction to Ains flipping out at 3:23. I remembered seeing comments back in season 1 that Albedo was planning to hunt down the other supreme beings because they abandoned Ainz, leaving him in Nazarick alone. So, seeing how Ainz lost his marbles due to those adventurers misappropriating his friends in their name made Albedo really displeased as it shows how much Ainz cares and yearns for his friends, which explains the stern but lack of facial expression.

[@mjtechnoviking44]

Ainz really got his hopes up a bit when he was being lied to but all his friends know him as momonga so when he heard ainz he knew. He was really that pissed off that the calm didn’t immediately work is how I took that but I’m an anime only so idk

[@tagout74]

calm was working but he was so angry that whenever he was calm he got angry again and again

[@dhelsgade]

4:33 when Ainz removed his ring, I felt that. That's the power of a divorce man when they see a girl said "I want to know you more"

[@overlordthebest4249]

One important thing anime couldn't explain properly was that ainz stopped time when he went behind that girl's back, he didn't teleport.

[@victor9]

The efficiency of inflicting human suffering in this show is scary.

[@pongangelo2048]

Wait until Jaldabaoth attacks Holy Roble. His creativity of using human body for his experiments knows no bound.

[@redvariable4941]

Little fun fact, in the web novel arche (the little magic caster) is actually spared. She's given to shalltear by ainz, with the condition that she isn't allowed to make her feel pain, as a pet and used for her...entertainment. By pet I mean she wears dog ears and a tail, I won't explain how the tail is attached.

[@milesprower6110]

A quick Sad Fact: The parents from the magic caster Arche who thinks are still nobles, sold her sisters and died in "overwork" or something I heard. *_The end_*

[@jacobjohnson8635]

Yeah. It was so dark that Maruyama didn’t even write it in the novel, but he explained when asked during an interview.

[@tatakaekaixin1846]

Ainz realized that they were lying because he said that 'the man' who give them permission to enter the tomb's said to them to give his regards toward "Ainz" not "Momonga", and since Ainz's old comrade wouldn't have known about him changing his original name "Momonga" into "Ainz Ooal Gown" yet, it signifies that those intruder were lying, thus Ainz laugh and then furious towards them for using his comrade to make up some lies.

[@thebread-kingman8996]

Ainz did nothing wrong, robbers came to his house & he dealt with them accordingly.

[@A.M_slime]

Bro I'm loving every moment of your reaction videos to this show.

[@huh5950]

I saw this tears ago and I still think about this episode every time I think of overlord, it's a turning point you either stop liking the show because "Oh no, evil, me no likey" or the show just levels up tremendously from here on.

[@ridleythebloodthirsty8958]

The best description of this episode i can think of is that it’s the goblin slayer of overlord it basically decides who’s in for the long haul or who cracks like a celery

[@reaperandyel]

Yes, the Dragon is just a show.

[@necromancerz2240]

A little explanation as to some of the magic that is used in this world: A majority of the New Worlders can only use magic in the 1st - 4th tier plus some Zero Tier magic (original magic spells made in the New World that aren't from the YGGDRASIL video game) Whenever someone says "Lesser Strength" or "Lesser Dexterity" it's not a debuff, it's actually just a weak buff. That's why when entities that are native to YGGDRASIL (Nazarick and other powerful beings) use magic they use higher tiers that have the word "Greater" in the spell. A high level buff would be something like "Greater Strength".

[@overlordthebest4249]

Father of arche didn't stop buying expensive stuff and in the end he sold his 2 daughters to slavery, and they died soon from OVERWORK.

[@j-rod5930]

8:49 Its never explained in the anime but in the novel the two sisters are sold into slavery by their parents and worked to death.

[@nirrokupanda7759]

My day gets brighter everytime y'all upload, your reactions are really great haha

[@Karma_FT]

The reason why overlord was popular not cause the anime but the Lightnovel Story was solid with good worlbuilding unfortunately many detail was cut from LN in this animation but the audiens still watch it Some people call it villain anime, anti hero anime but the author said this series take rule strong eat the weak and leave that judge to reader ( basically it up to reader wanna see them as villain or no ), make it new feel when people read it

[@maxpowers4436]

Ainz is an anti-villian not sure why people are confused.

[@brayanramirez7876]

Na is for is Isekai :v

[@godzillaiz1962]

Ahh I couldn't wait for this reaction its gonna be a lit.

[@SajoGotoru]

Btw random fact omitted from the anime: The lovers were made as a breeding ground for the insect man's children you saw last episode. Basically the insects bred inside of them. The priest was used as a simple experiment. His mind was repeatedly altered and he was made to believed he followed a different god after every alter. They wanted to see if his belief in a different god affected his holy magic. Well deserved I'd say. Mere weak humans thought they could just walk in Nazarick and plunder.

[@sashwing7726]

It's not omitted the original episode that was aired had the bedroom scene and additional somewhat more darker scenes. People often forget that the clean version of episode didn't start from redo the healer.

[@-Apoptos-]

The one they were brought to was never shown, that’s a different npc

[@j-rod5930]

1:36 Albedo hasn't done anything because her character didn't exist in the web novel. Demiurge was essentially the leader of the floor guardians in the web novel so when the author created Albedo there wasn't anything for her to do that wouldn't change the overall plot.

[@Zdrancer]

Great episode!!! Your reactions are the best, I always see them when I leave work!!

[@MADLADCOMICS]

Entoma new voice was from Arche (The girl Albedo killed) they then scattered her body parts amongst all the citizens. Also fun fact: the anime skipped the part were Arche's parents sell her sisters off as slaves to cover there debt since Arche never came back. (They eventually worked themselves to death)

[@sweetnumb]

Man. I LOVE how badass and cunning that emperor is. IF there was a way to destroy Nazarick, it'd definitely only be Jircniv that could actually do it.

[@jacobjohnson8635]

Actually, if we look at it from Ainz’s perspective. It makes sense why he would hold such contempt for the worker teams. The workers were hired, because the Empire knows that they have no legal rights to anything in the tomb since Nazarick was technically located within the Kingdom’s side of the border. So the workers were knowingly and willingly breaking international laws just to rob Ainz’s home. For, as far as Ainz is concerned, nothing more than a paycheck. And they had expressed their intentions of obtaining Nazarick’s treasure no matter what stands in their way, or even if the tomb was actually someone’s home. So any guilt or pity that Ainz would’ve felt had been replaced with contempt for these shameless thieves that would risk imprisonment/death for some gold. I’m not justifying the fate that had befallen the workers, but it does makes sense why Ainz wouldn’t care given the context of his perspective.

[@stratossotarts1468]

I am quite surprised that there is almost no one in the comment section talking about the fucked up fate of Arches sisters :D

[@21BearPapa]

I love that this is based on a DnD game that the mangaka was not able to finish because of scheduling problems. The people of Nazarick was his BBEG (Big Bad Evil Guy) and he brought him to another world so that the story he made for them in DnD would continue.

[@tanthokg]

About the fates of the 4 Workers (intruders of Nazarick) in 6th floor: - The guy and the half-elf purple hair woman are still alive, but they're still nests - The celric (Roberdyck) is brain dead According to LN, after this event, Arche's (the yellow hair girl) father keeps borrowing moneys without the ability to pay it, I remember around 100 gold coins. When Arche doesn't come back, the father sells his two daughters you see at the end as slaves to pay his debt, and they die due to overwork

[@nachoman2713]

They never stood a chance XD

[@lachrymooj]

So yeah, basically Albedo is a sustain-tank build succubus, if ever you're wondering.

[@reesepoitier4995]

A little thumbnail error but in the thumbnail it says season 2 instead of season 3.

[@kitkami]

Its so amusing that they have not seen anything yet. Bahhhh!

[@Rembreiker_lychec9257]

I respect the way Ainz went and I like how they have done this anime. Ainz is the most amazing MC of any anime. Cause it feels like real life in a way, the good guys don't always win. Still nice video kudos.

[@overlordthebest4249]

I knew it, roshi will love the despair in arche. 😂

[@RayGunga13]

[@hhound4283]

The pose Ains strikes when he wants them to attack him was the same pose he took when fighting Clementine as Momon.

[@vinaynegi7239]

Such a poser ..

[@HexVisualNovelPlaythroughs]

spoiler: just to add salt to the wound there the two sisters got sold by the parents and they two girls became slaves and died from what i heard was overworked to death

[@dinkylubisa3068]

wow that's dark

[@badcake4915]

the thing about mare is, when when aqua used turn undead on them, ainz is holding him back after. you can see ainz hold his shoulder which, I missed the first time I watch it.

[@sancturillore]

Fluder Paradyne (the old wizard) isn't just getting on in his years, he's over 200 years old. He's actually nowhere near dying of old age anytime soon. His longevity is due to magic.

[@TheMadhatter1313]

I heard someone said that there's a different version of this story where Shalltear keeps the mage and a slave and sleeps with her sometime and when they found her younger siblings, she were allowed to stay with their big sister instead of being sold to slavery and die working themselves to death in a coal mine

[@cruzer49]

Yep the readers got to vote on it, but the author didn't like the route so they changed it for the manga 🥶

[@-Apoptos-]

@@cruzer49 web novel, the original story. The official story is as you see here

[@rickkcir2151]

That was for the web-novel since the fans voted for it, but the author didn’t like it so he went with this route for the actual light novel. Which is good honestly, cause this version makes a lot more sense. The web novel just comes off as a ham handed “happy” ending.

[@alexrayne2875]

Considering Shalltear, it's debatable as to whether slavery would be better

[@kurtsurban2081]

They probably won't show it in the anime, but Arche's sisters were sold off into slavery and died. When Arche died, her parents who spent money as if they were still nobles lost all of their income and were still desperate to stay "rich nobles" even the slaver who sold their daughters called them disgusting.

[@Cave_Guy]

You know there's something funny here You see the guy in black armor who carries two shields? that person is in op3 overlord, but because he's about to die anyway so he's only seen a little behind Jernif when the scene goes on in the op3

[@theeLonelyRedPanda]

The mummy - death is only the beginning. Ainz - death is a mercy. That freed you from suffering.

[@Twilight-lj8of]

8:58 fun fact the 2 little sisters of arche where sold off to a slavery by their parents for money the anime doesn't cover it but the light novel dose

[@yuku6921]

it's probably popular because of the world building when the story and set-up is good, the result is amazing and amazing stories surpass all expectations

[@Rembreiker_lychec9257]

People go into your home, steal your things and lie to you. Can't really fault Ainz for that one.

[@Andrew-vw5vb]

Such a badass moment for Aura and Mare.

[@estebanmarco8755]

On the level of flex in the duel, Ainz didn't teleport to get to the half-elf, he stopped time. He then proceeds to calmly explain it to the priest in his speech at the end.

[@camrynduplessis2743]

Foresight was like "ey bro, it was a prank"

[@minori3539]

Fun fact, the two little sisters of Arche (the magic caster) became slaves because their family fell more and more into dept, got abused and then died cursing their older sister because they thought she ran aways alone leaving them behind

[@hanifpuertas6629]

In the ligh novel, just like in the anime Arche (the mage girl) dies and her sisters are sold into slavery, the author confirmed in an interview that the sisters died as slaves. In the web novel Arche survives and becomes Shalltear´s slave, later he begs Ainz to buy her sisters from slavery and they also become Shalltear´s slaves I think the other 3 adventures have the same fate in both versions of the story

[@harukihxh]

10:50 when you and your party enter the boss room and his level is 999

[@littletarnished2380]

This episode shows us that even a small amount of greed will lead us to doom.

[@juwonikemoses2045]

Another thing left out from the novels, is that her two little sisters were sold into slavery by her parents.

[@rakimchatham853]

The twin sisters of the adventures got sold into slavery to help pay for the parents lifestyle. They died in despair wondering where their siter is. In the light novel. Also Arche in the Webnovel got turned into Shalltears pet. Shalltear trained her for "Adult Time'' play

[@SpaceGoat3126]

Arche:No don’t worry he’s no probl-OH GOD

[@darthakaya]

FYI, Arche's little sisters (the two little girls before the credits) were later sold into slavery and died from overwork.

That was one of two dragons belonging to Mare. They are around level 90. Here's the kicker - they were gacha items in the game.
