Pretty fun fact, Albedo was pissed of how Pandora played Ainz in the encounter. The general plan was there but Pandora played to his own idea and actions and Ainz actually enjoyed it.

For me, it was Albedo’s tone before Azuth and PDL arrived that got me. She didn’t say “Ainz-Sama” in places where she clearly would if it was actually Ainz and not PA. She also talked to him as equals when they were alone.

In season 2 when sebas bertray ainz, PA come first with red orb. Then he teleport by grabbing his cape, then real ainz come back with red orb aswell. Which mean ains can give PA the red orb. The only way you can tell if its PA or Ains is the talking and the action, not by visually.

[@heresywithana]

I like that when Ainz' is actually fighting, that's when his intelligence really shows, Ainz' was known as "Best Strategist" because he gathers information about the enemy and uses their weaknesses against them, since he can't respawn when he dies, he ordered Pandora to duel with an upcoming threat, and allow him to retreat afterwards. This way Ainz can still gather knowledge about the enemy without any loses. Ainz' is an intelligent person, it's just he didn't need to learn about politics and what-not.

Second, Limited to even use low tier spell in that form so he doesn't kill him lmao

The funny thing bout the world item joke is that if there is a person who should have one or many it's actually Pandora's actor. Being the keeper of all world items of Nazarick. In This mission though he didn't brought one

[@dansweryt6976]

he just wipes it and arranges Nazarick's treasury, even a supreme being no one can decide where to put the World Items. They need a majority vote, that's why when Ainz took the guild staff he murmured that the guild might forgive him for taking it out since the game was about to end. The Staff of Ainz Ooal Gown isn't a world item but a god tier staff that rivals a world item, since every jewel in the serpents mouth is a god tier artifact, 8 of them all together rivals world items(except The Twenty).

[@manip1980]

@@dansweryt6976 Pandora's actor's original design was supposed to be the treasure guardian. His ability to mimic other beings was specifically because of the place he was fighting in. In the treasury, he had access to all the guild weapons and world items. So he basically was the mimic that could copy any of the supreme beings while having their gear as well as world items if needed. So in a way, even though he wasn't exactly the owner of those items, he had full access to use them all.

We've seen Pandora's Actor with the red orb before. The tells change all the time, and are anime only to help viewers tell the difference.

They just outplayed Platinum's plan by making him believe he actually outplayed them and has information advantage but in actuality it was the opposite, genius. Also don't get it wrong Pandora's Actor isn't actually that weak he's also level 100 and super strong, he just wanted Platinum to underestimate Ainz and get things twisted with Albedo etc.

[@griefer1851]

If you are saying Pandora's Actor can't hold one world item, you're wrong. He is same with albedo being an NPC, which is also capable of carrying world item if Ainz allows him to. The thing is Ainz didn't think PA would necessarily need one, his only role was to act as him.

PLD should have just kept the conversation going, and he would have been able to get that little bit of extra information that would have allowed to him to figure out if Ainz and Albedo were players or not. Goes to show the difference in strategies and priorities when it comes to Ainz compared to everyone else: Knowledge is power, and bowing your head to get it isn't much of a price to pay; also ends up being the reason why the Floor Guardians keep getting surprised every time Ainz is rewarded with knowledge by playing a weaker hand.

PA on his knees was hilarious tho. lol Tbh I would love to see PA have fun fighting someday; switching between all the Supreme beings and just playfully using their skills against genuinely strong enemies. Tho I guess that won't happen bc Nazarick's big guns are all just too powerful to even bother going all out, and the series is nearing its end. I hope the Maruyama changes his mind and add at least one other player from another guild or something tho. 😆

The dragon is not from the video game world, but is of an ancient race. The main reason why the world is so weak is because players kept coming, and killing most of the strong races, this is why humans can still live and have the most land. Also it’s said in the novels that players basically genocided, or killed a lot of his race.

[@diostaku2]

Just so you know, Ainz would definitely have done the same as PA to get info, though the NPCs weren't happy about it. The dragon (PDL) is a native of this world and it is normal that he considers players dangerous, they are basically aliens that invade the world from time to time, they also almost extinguished his race. But more importantly, poor Elemental Skull-kun, the anime didn't let it shine at all. 😭

Pandora's actor is lvl 100 like Ainz, Albedo and demiurge. he was specifically told not to use any special abilities and stick to basic spells from Ainz in the novel. he can transform and use the powers and skills of all the 41 supreme beings of Nazarik. I think he can even defeat Ainz if he wanted to.

​@@muralaharish If he transform in Touch Me who is way stronger than Momonga then I think he can defeat him, cuz 80% if Touch Me's power equal or slightly surpass Momonga's(Ainz).

@@SoufodahXX yes ofc if he transforms into multiple supreme beings he will easily defeat Ainz but that being said Ainz never lost a 1v1 battle whereas touch me has lost a couple which means that Ainz never takes a losing fight so am pretty sure if it came down to that he is gonna use his gaming experience to atleast get a draw or somehow maybe win

when he transforms he gets penalties to stats and can only use the abilities of those he turns into at 80% of the power level he is fact a mid level guardian others like albedo for example are stronger the only NPC that can defeat ainz in a 1v1 battle is rubedo who is the strongest entity of Nazarick NPC or player (touch me may have been stronger i forget) she has yet to appear in the anime she is albedos younger sister nigredo being the oldest of the 3 sisters

Interesting to note, that unless I missed it, no one's commented on PDL's comment that only holders of World Items OR WILD MAGIC users could pass the barrier, making the equivalent.

[@manip1980]

Wild magic is said to be on par with world items or even higher. As long as the right amount of sacrifice is made for its use. So while it can potentially counter world items, It needs a hefty sacrifice to do so. It's not something that can be used that easily at that high level. Not to mention only those with dragon lord blood have access to wild magic.

[@Gjgzzdt]

Another little hint towards him being PA: When you hear his internal monologue/ thoughs, it's not Suzuki Satoru's voice like usual but it's Ainz' speaking voice

[@richardsaid973]

The moment I heard "fill my role" I knew it was pandora's actor. Another dead giveaway is how nonchalantly and kinda rude albedo was speaking to "ainz" at some points, well perhaps not rude but out of character. What's crazy is how Platinum dragon lord was hyping up pandora's actor's strength while he had like 80% of ainz strength available and he was still holding back a bit and not go for the kill meaning that even if PDL was there in person ainz would likely still be superior. I also think he is stronger than Zesshi or any of the other 13 heroes or Slane theocracy. Spoilers: In the manga apparently the strongest dragon lord is called Deep Darkness Dragon lord who slumbers alone most of the time and has even been said to kill a player. He is probably the greatest threat to nazarick and EVEN still I doubt he would be able to defeat Shaltear with her armor as shaltear is stronger than any player even touch me and the top 3 players in Yggdrasil. The only ones stronger than shaltear is Garganshua, Rubedo (albedo sister) and the entirety of the 8th floor of nazerick (its last defense) who not only defeated 1500 players at a time when nazerick was invaded in yddrisil but also put in place in case rubedo went rogue as that floor contains the only entities that could defeat her (there is prob no-one there alone stronger than rubedo but collectively they would beat her)

The main clue to recognize it was Pandora's Actorm is the lack if the glowing gem on Ainz chest, i think that's a permanent World Item, or something like that.

[@camrynduplessis2743]

Interesting fact: Pandora's actor could've mopped the floor with PDL's armor as well but because he was ordered to gain info and try ally with him he didn't do this, however, if PDL was ordered to destroy the Armory that would've been done. In other words, PDL winning there was also a ploy.

[@Black-jw4bw]

Ainz Ooal Gown (Guild) have 11 world items and all Floor Guardian have 1 of them each. Albedo's world item that she brought to re-eztize kingdom (something like a wand). Belongs to Aura and Mare who were brought in season 1 before fighting Shaltear.

[@MathiasE80]

Albedo never had reason to be vary of the power suit. It was meant as a catch up mechanic in the game to allow new players to catch up in levels and was effective until 70-ish. But against a level 100 wether a player or npc they are nothing, also this was a weak suit, Nazarick has 3 more powerful ones in storage.

[@justinseithalil7181]

The red orb inside Momonga is an important item that PA cannot duplicate.

[@tru3nz]

This also indicates the true strength between Ainz and "Riku". Riku considered Ainz(Pandora) impossible to defeat, showing that Pandora is extremely powerful and the fact "Riku" considered PA impossible to defeat. Proves that Ainz if he actually fought "Riku" would most definitely killed him in an instant

[@roldanmarcelo1636]

16:50 is gold. Director's face when it started hitting him was like 'oh sh*t' 🤣🤣🤣

[@overlordthebest4249]

This time anime gave pandora's actor his red eyes, but he didn't have the red orb in his stomach, that red orb is the world item.

[@antonisomon7543]

The red orb in ainzs stomach is an world item so he always has it in/on him.

[@Slade951]

The biggest hint was Ainz red orb world item. But I thought he purposely left it behind like he usually leave the gold staff. But then again he wear that red orb everywhere. Hmmmmmmm

[@blueknight10]

There's actually a more obvious visual que that this isn't Ainz. If you pay attention to his midsection he does not have the the red orb that Ainz does

[@-Apoptos-]

28:23 ainz was ainz then, Pandora was momon “no one would marry a woman like you” -you’re too mean for my dad “Hearing that from you doesn’t make me…” -calm down future son-in-law

[@edwardvon428]

the fact it wasn't him in the end had me crying lmaooooooooo

[@GrubbJunker]

You can tell it's Pandora's Actor due to how Albedo talks to him. She talks to him like he's a random person, as opposed to when she speaks to Ainz. This is noticeable at 10:15 when she says "I know. What about you?" This is an informal tone. So she didn't sell it at all.

[@heketorcr4029]

> Pandora doesn't have the Orb > Pandora have 80% power of AInz > Pandora doesn't have rings, items and Ainz forbade him to use many spells. All the precaution that Ainz took during all the seasons paid off: He got information and gave false information.

[@Allen_the_Fallen]

The only reactors I’ve seen who immediately realized it was Pandora’s Actor. Good job guys

[@xenos2214]

Just a theory. I think it's not the eyes but the red ball inside Ainz ribs which is the tell between Pandora's Actor and Ainz, and I think that the red ball might be a World Item

[@acgearsandarms1343]

Is the Staff of Ainz Ooal Gown comparable to a World Item or just a really high tier item because it was technically made by the guild?

[@910Jaro]

@@acgearsandarms1343 no its a guild weapon that just rivals the world items. all the gems in the staff are divine items & when you put them altogether (like with the staff), it unlocks their potential beyond their base powers

[@TrevorPhilipsIndustries007]

The red orb is a World Item that becomes more powerful as long as he continues weilding it. We dont really know what it does, except its very effective against Dragons.

[@silverdandylmao]

Its not a theory! Ainz's red orb IS a world item, thats confirmed! I think in the anime, when talking to Albedo (outside the carriage before she goes to reestize as prime minister, ep3??) he mentions world items and the camera pans to his red orb. I could be wrong about the anime reference, but IT IS A WORLD ITEM. That is confirmed, you have a good eye for details!!

[@skytowergnome4664]

One way to get to know the story better is to listen to the novels on audible. I found them very enjoyable to listen to when I take a walk or work out.

[@bun8611]

Imagine Pandora actor really use his power, maybe that platinum armor will destroyed In a seconds

[@EntryLevelGaming]

Fun fact.. In new world if a guild have 2 or 4 world items it would be really strong guild But... Nazarik actually have 11 World items and its insane. They successfully fool the enemies with so many false information

[@RocketMonke69420]

I started having doubts about wether it was Ainz when Albedo forgot to adress him as like "your majesty" and she had to correct herself. That would have never happend if it was Ainz.

[@BoshinTV]

Ha, I noticed your face when it clicked it was pandoras actor, I had no idea till after. It’s cool you picked it up!

[@DuhDancer]

A detail to tell between Ainz and Pandora. Is the fact, Ainz didn't have the red orb in his chest while fighting. Which is a world class item.

[@steamworkfox4564]

Despite how much the Anime Cuts out, They do a Hell of a good job with what they have to work with. And you cannot blame them for cutting stuff out, the things they do cut is essentially Pure Unadulterated World Building. Like How is an anime supposed to tell you NPC Lore, Yddrasil stories, Item Descriptions, every single plan Demiurge, Albedo, Shalltear, Renna, Sebas, Marie has in their head. And the Political state of the world. You can't, that world be Boring AF to listen to, but fascinating to read when you Want to learn more. So compared to all of that, what they do cut out is relatively small in comparison. Still waiting on Albedo's sisters lol

[@StoneTitan]

It was an interesting move with Pandoras actor asking for "mercy" and having Red Drop monologue (given what Ainz really wanted was information) granted hhad someone even strogner showed up as well well... things could have gotten messy

[@TheLaw2063]

Fun fact: the orb in Ainz stomach is a world item, that's why Pandora could't replicate it.

[@panbaron4424]

FYI, when pandora's actor acts as Ainz, he doesn't have his big red gem in the ribkage because that's a world item of Ainz's

[@SilveryBlue1010]

Pandora's Actor looks cute in Ainz equipments lol

[@Nomo-sapiens]

The dragon thinks that Ainz has two world items but he has 11 haha!

[@saljpal3]

Guess he's taking Riku's warning at face value

[@CrownofMischief]

for me, it clicked when "Ainz" was thinking to himself. Usually when the real one is thinking to himself, it goes in his human voice, but here he was thinking in his Overlord voice

[@kushxiro620]

Oh yea, that right lol

[@kotabear6556]

The main clue was pandoras actor didn't have his glowing orb inside his stomach. That glowing orb is actually a world item the real Ains always has.

[@jessieruben6291]

In the Case of the KZbinr. He is correct. If you read the book the information he says is accurate. He tells you what you missed in a non spoiler way. Keeping it specific to the episode you just watched.

[@michiorarimsama7179]

Literally the form Of Albedo talk to him and the acting were a hint that wasnt the real ainz

[@kyng_spade]

I instantly realized it was Pandora's Actor from the beginning.

[@KiyoKami_]

The platinum dragon lord is neither a player or an NPC he was born in that world and through his speech it is hinted at that his father the dragon emperor is responsible for players being summoned to the new world.

[@cidculprang]

"Ainz" Pandora's Actor looking cute in his dad's outfit LOL

[@andrescalderon1212]

Yes, a good thing to remember as well is that the red orb in Ainz's chest it's a World item. You clearly see that Pandora's Actor cannot copy such a thing with his powers

[@gizanime782]

Another giveaway to it being Pandora is the fact he didnt have the red sphere in his chest which is actually a world item.

[@Sabata40]

if i recall correctly, the red orb in Ainz is one of the world items he possesses.

[@grim1570]

Ainz has something like a dozen world items i think? It was another example of how badly they keep underestimating him by thinking it was a worst case scenario that he might have two of them.

[@FrauZehel]

I realized it wasnt Ainz right of the bat with how Albedo was talking at the beggining.

[@addidaswguy]

Pissed that that wasn't Ains, it was a cool twist but I thought FINALLY we might get someone who could maybe challenge him or the Floor Guardians. The last fight of any consequence was Ains vs Shalltear waaaay back.

[@adityasuresh8106]

I mean you should know that Bone daddy is always super pragmantic while doing PvP ,look at the amount of planning he did while fighting Shalltear just because she was superior to Ainz in 1v1 , It's impossible to think he'd just come for a 1v1 against PDL just like that,

[@doctorfaust9759]

Overlord seems like the show that follows the trope or philosophy of thoses whi seek life shall die and those who seek death shall live the old king sought death so he will be the only one to live if it follows the trope

[@rapgsolano]

They are organized down in Nazarick, all new members go to orientation with Kyouhouku. And you get food and lodging if you're loyal but your kingdom is up for annihilation.

[@edgardelibojr.4450]

THIS IS THE EPISODE THAT I WAS WAITING FOR!!

[@-Apoptos-]

17:00 comes the strike with enough force to send him into orbit

[@mhrehl]

Platinum Dragon Lord (PDL) cant even defeat a fake. Hehe. =P And the biggest hint visually was actually the absence of the red orb inside Ainz's rib cage, which is a world item, I think. Also, I believe PDL isn't good at all, but just self-righteous. =/

[@Jammy._.]

im a little sad we never saw shaltear drop the soul eaters on peoples houses when they were taking over towns up north

[@kokuutou92]

Yeah same, the moment I sussed "Ainz" was when he got on the ground and begged. Ainz does NOT do that.
