If more overlord is what you are after, you could always react to the Overlord shorts: Pure Pure Pleiades episodes and movies. There is also the English translation of the Overlord Drama CDs, which can be found on KZbin. Drama CDs are essentially anime episodes that have no animation, just voices and audio. The Drama CDs usually roughly indicate when they occur in the timeline of events through context.

Actually, Ainz as Momon has been using a lip bug to alter his voice in his Momon persona since the start, it's only partially alluded to in the first episode of season 4, but it is explained more in the LN.

That’s wrong. In the light novel on volume 6 when Evileye wanted to introduce Momon to Gazef, Ainz decided to do some other stuff because he was worried Gazef would recognize his voice.

[@FateScarletCat]

As I see it, the thing about Gazef there isn't really about pride: it's mainly two factors: 1) Duty - he is in debt with his king, and will not turn his back against him no matter what, even if that "honor" results in their collective doom; 2) Ainz - Gazef wanted the others to see what kind of person Ainz was (his powers, personality, and thoughts), so that they can see him objectively and interact with him in an appropriate way rather than just act based on their impressions (living-hater undead, enemy king, evil incarnate, and such). Or to put it simply, show that Ainz can be a reasonable and honorable person if you show him due respect. Unfortunately, they didn't pay much attention to anything other than his powers, which... they didn't see much in the fight at all? So, yeah, Gazef kind of died for nothing there because they totally misunderstood his intentions. All the point of his duel was to show them that they SHOULDN'T make an enemy of Ainz. Also: 25:20 you got them inverted: Momon is Pandora's Actor there. It's all part of the plan.

[@SkyMina_]

It not just nothing when it part of the plan. What is the plan 😂

[@NagaDarmag]

I personally think there is one more point. 3)Loyalty - By sacrificing his own life he bought time for the king and the solders to escape.

[@carljohan9265]

It's worth noting here that Ains showed Gazef an immense amount of respect. He warned him he would die if they fought, accepted the duel and made sure to follow all of it's rules, offered to ressurrect Gazef, honored his wishes by making sure he could not be ressurrected, went all out rather than holding back, left the body intact and unharmed, treated the body carefully even after he was dead, pulled his army back afterwards. F in the chat for Gazef, the man was a gigachad.

[@redohealer2]

I can totally see that being the case. Especially with regard to Ainz himself and Gazef having an intention that the others might have failed to realize.

[@driversour6894]

It's pretty much just Mumen Rider vs Deep Sea King. When faced with an overwhelming malicious force, Gazeff still decided to fight, knowing full well that he cannot win. In this way, Ainz never got what he wants (recruiting Gazeff), so Gazeff's resolve still paid off.

the reason ains wants the sword is cos it has the skill to cut ANYTHING which means it might be possible for this sword to cut a world item which can only be destroyed by another world item which would make that sword immensely valuable to ains

time magic is like the most popular kind of magic for pvp stuff in yggdrasil when was a game. at a certain level its normal for most player to incorporate some amount of time magic stuff, be it active uses or counter messures. the spell ainz uses freezes time for everyone without counter measure and the caster, while time is frozen no offensive moves can be performed - there is ofcs a few exceptions, like delay magic. delay magic works in that way that once cast it activates after a certain amount of time passed e.g. say after 5 sec - if timestop works for 10 sec, if the caster cast it at the perfect time once timestop ends it will instantly trigger and hit the enemy without chance of evasion. if cast wrongly e.g. to early it wont trigger; if too late, might miss. is supposed to be a highskill gamer move feet ainz performs there and he is supposed to have been in like the upper 5% bracket of players who could reliable perform it accurately.

[@pandorasactor4820]

According to the author of Overlord there are six reasons why Gazef requested the duel: 1. To show Ainz's power for future fights. 2. Killing Ainz would mean the end of the war and as king he would normally be surrounded by bodyguards so he would never have a better opportunity to fight him now that he was alone. 3. Gazef, being the symbol of the commoners at court, his betrayal would undermine the rest of the commoners due to the hatred of the nobles (the commoners would lose social mobility). 4. Without Gazef, his troop of warriors, the commoners that he had trained so hard would be used, paying for Gazef's betrayal due to their close relationship, even being used against their king and losing the kingdom to some elite soldiers. 5. When King Ramposa and Barbro returned to the capital, the nobles who had lost family members would turn their hatred towards the king. If someone as important to the king as Gazef died, he hoped that part of their hatred would be reduced. 6. Because Ainz saved Gazef and a village in the past, Gazef still thought of Ainz as a good person whom he respected so he couldn't make a false oath of loyalty to him. These were Gazef's thoughts and if there is something misspelled I apologize because this has been written with Google Translate.

[@pandorasactor4820]

By the way, those who had the resources to leave E-Rantel left, of course no one who could would stay in a nation governed by a being that is supposed to hate life.

[@GOTGames]

Ah thank you!

[@leonielson7138]

In the fight between Gazaf and Ainz, Ainz treated Gazaf as if he were a player, casting Time Stop, because that's what he would have done in a PVP duel in Yggdrasil. He'd earlier cast a spell that required a long casting time to determine if there was a player among the Kingdom's forces, but finding none he used a Cash Store item to reduce the casting time. It's actually Pandoras Actor playing Momon, and Albedo was about to say that she doesn't like Pandoras Actor. Ainz doesn't speak because people might recognize that he and "Momon" have the same voice.

[@seynoonrae2474]

04:40 "I say pride is the downfall of men." In many settings... including real life... pride can be very self-destructive. But I see it more like a drug. In the right amounts, it can act as medicine. It translates into self-confidence, persistance, honor... moving forward in the face of adversity. In excess, it becomes poison. It translates into overconfidence, stubbornness, arrogance... not backing off in the face of repeated failure.

[@delsintm691]

There are multiple reasons why Gazef did not become a subordinate of Ainz. 1: The first reason was what Climb mentioned. 2: The second reason was what Gazef himself said to Ainz about his sword being in reach of the enemy commander. 3: The third reason was should he come under Ainz (as a symbol of commoners) after being highly evaluated by the King, it may potentially lead to commoners being judged to turn traitor as well, resulting in the loss of social mobility of commoners. 4: The fourth reason is in the case of his subordinates, they would certainly be used for as tools for something (for what kind of purpose they would be used is unclear to Gazef), but it can be thought it would be their connection will be concerning enough to cause a huge loss for the Kingdom. 5: The fifth reason is that when the King and First Prince return back safely (Gazef does not know that the prince is dead at this point), because nobles who lost a relative will have their antagonism rise. If someone useful to the King like himself dies, Gazef hopes that a small quantity of the hatred will be softened. 6: The sixth reason is that the person called Ainz (even though Gazef saw such a cruel deed) still saved Carne Village, so he thought Ainz to be a man of character and not cold-blooded to those he does not view as enemies since he saved his life, so Gazef did not want to feign an oath of allegiance, because he held respect for that part of Ainz. Also, when Ainz says "PvP", Gazef probably heard a term that he is more familiar with due to Auto-Translation shenanigans.

[@bemusedbandersnatch2069]

Oh, ok. #3 and #5 put it into a bit of context for me. I still think he should've allowed himself to be resurrected though. Choosing to die was one thing, taking the decision to let him come back or not out of the kings hands was a bit far though. He was a force for good and letting himself get taken out like that just lets the not-so-good forces run wild.

[@kiki-ll4uk]

Spoilers!! I don't think there is an auto-translation in that way. I think there is so much as Ainz and the npcs didn't need to learn a new language, but words from our world don't get translated. For example the Slane theocracy and PDL use game terms like (as translated in the light novel) "puhlayer" and "enpishi" for player and npc. They hear the words we have. They don't get translated. If they did they'd never say those words

[@delsintm691]

@@kiki-ll4uk I think they don't get translated because the New Worlders can't conceptualize things like "Player" "NPC", because those things don't exist in their world. Also, i re read the volume of the LN to be sure, and i don't think Ainz actually said "PVP". He said something akin to "duel", but i could be wrong.

[@JeromeBellon]

07:53: "Why the guy nod?" Pretty sure Gazef doesn't get the gaming reference, but he understands that Ainz acknowledges this as a duel between equals. Not equals in strength, obviously, but equal in free will and determination. This is in contrast to season 1 which ended with the episode "Player vs NPC", because Shalltear was not a normal being but originally a programmed character. An NPC that he knew inside and out. And worse of all, an NPC whose free will - however much she normally possesses - was stolen by a world item.

[@ultimatex1334]

16:20 So Ramposa (the King) actually did try to have Gazef resurrected by Lakyus, the blonde with the cursed sword from Blue Rose. Her spells weren't strong enough (as Ainz had told Climb and Brain), so Gazef remained dead while Ramposa mourned his friend.

The OVERLORD movie is coming out in theatres outside Japan around this Christmas, and then it will be online most likely around February 2025. The movie takes place chronologically between episode 7 and 8 of season 4. There are already 2 trailers for it that I hope you check out when you finish the show! By the way about your comment on the books, there are currently 16, the anime has only done 12 so far. The anime cuts out almost 40% of the content and rushes the story which really isn't good, but it is what it is, at least we got 4 seasons and future stuff. if you want to read them, just make sure to not read past volume 11 until you watch the movie, because that would be future anime content!

If i'm not mistaken, in the base model of Ainz the Red Orb he has on his belly/chest area is a World Item, and when it is missing it means that is actually Pandora's Actor taking Ainz's form, in the E-Rantel exchange here Ainz has the Red Orb, so Momon is actually Pandora's Actor, you can see it from the way Albedo talks "Although hearing it from you..." after he says she would never marry.

[@carlosbeltran804]

the momon play was increadibly smart. They not only gave people hope having momon as a guardian, but also having him there stops them from dispairing too much and starting revolts while they start making moves and getting more people alined with them. That also means that if momon doesnt attack ains it means that what ains is doing isnt that bad so he cant be such a monster. Momon is the carrot and albedo is the stick

The thing about the sword is not like it's super powerful and it kills Ainz, is just that it CAN damage Ainz and therefore it CAN kill Ainz.

[@GunRunner106]

Gazef: "witness my final battle" "there is no need to lay your hands on those two" its not a pride thing. he is doing his job as the head warrior. He thinks he can maybe help the show them a weakness in ainz that they could maybe exploit in the future, also he wants to serve was a warning to the rest of the Kingdom - if he cant defeat them - no one else there could. him asking if the two could serve as referees for the fight would also make sure that the two wouldnt be harmed afterward, cuz they need to deliver the results back home. Gazef doesnt like magic, doesnt like resurrection - "a human has only one life", so even if Ainz didnt used true death, and they tried to revive him afterwards later, he would refuse the revival as a dead and wouldnt come back - cuz thats a thing, the dead can actually refuse the revival. several hundredths or thousands or so fo the empires army got trampled to death when they fled from the baby goat when it approached em to collect ainz.

[@666HeroHero]

Exactly. Overlord's magic system is based on D&D's. And likewise in D&D, (almost) all ressurection spells requires the dead person to be willing to be ressurected. (The exception being revivify which has to be used within 1 minute of the person being dead, before their soul leaves.) After the soul has left the body, the soul has to be willing to come back to the world of the living.

[@Assassin21BEKA]

16:13 no, as Ainz said - he can't be ressurected with low level ressurection they can use because of the spell Ainz used.

[@tonyraven830]

about the ressurection thingy, is a 9th tier spell that negates all low level resurrection spells. The lowest resurrection spell is a 5th tier spell and most people regard anything above sixth tier to be myth or divine (my personal guess is that True Death negates 5th and 6th tier, maybe 7th tier as well, but that is debatable). The Massacre at Katze plains, as this "battle" is later called, cost life of over 170,000 Re-Estize soldiers (commoners and nobles alike) and left many traumatized (obviously). The "fight" between Albedo and Pandora's Actor was all a charade. The boy who threw the stone was actually manipulated by Demiurge. Following that, they pinned the blame on the Slane Theocracy so it wouldn't get any ground in the city and effectively gathered the citizens under Momon.

[@Nemesis653]

24:00 is funny because Pandoras Actor is basically telling her she'll never marry his dad. As other pointed out in this exhange Momon was Pandora's Actor. An easy way to tell is he cant replicate the glowing red orb Ainz has inside him because its a world item. He also overracts so you can tell by the personality.

[@seynoonrae2474]

All it means is that the blade is strong enough to go beyond the physical damage nullification, but it says nothing about how many hits you would need to actually deplete his HP or even overcome any sort of passive regeneration.

[@GZCoo]

Yeah I feel like this is a callback from Season 1 at the very beginning. When someone shot a rock at Ainz and Albedo blocked it and said that the bare minimum to attack Ainz should be that he can be hurt. Which I guess is why Ainz said ""With this, we can fulfill the very basic requirements of a duel."

[@trajano777]

The one acting as Momon was Pandora's actor, you can tell cause his movements were overly dramatic and because Albedo got all excited once Ains touched her shoulder. The reason Ains did not speak out was to avoid people noticing his voice and Momon is the same. The idea is that the people will turn to Momon and he can work as a spy if people try to rebel against Ains, similar to the rol Crush (the albino lizard), is playing with the lizardmen tribe.

[@animeavatar1743]

In season 4 he uses a lip bug to have a different voice so he can talk to people without using Momon's voice.

[@vanille5524]

in the english dub after Momons "noone will marry you" towards Albedo she responded with "even though this is a farce thats a low blow" which I think is so much funnier xD

[@josueandrade2327]

Gazef's fight against Ainz showed how much Ainz liked him. Because, if in Nazarick "death is mercy", Ainz made a point of stopping time so that the man he respected would have a quick death, definitely the highest level of mercy offered by Ainz.

[@thewhyzer]

When Ainz said "that weapon can kill me", he really meant it in the sense that a 3 year old could kill you with a butter knife if they were persistent enough and you didn't lift a finger to stop them. The sword is able to bypass Ainz's passive low level damage nullification and chip away at his HP, that's about it. A powerful enough warrior could probably kill Ainz with that sword normally, just like there are people who could kill you with a butter knife.

[@farhannaik6854]

The movie that is not out yet covers light novels 12 and 13 that are a complete story arc, season 4 covers light novels 10 11 and 14. The reason gazef duels ainz is that if he changes sides then the king would be very harshly criticized by the nobles and gazef also wanted to know the true heights of power, you could call the latter reason the pride of the strong. The reason ainz uses the term PVP is that he is showing respect to gazef by treating him as an equal, it is the same reason he used the OP combo of time stop and true death because that is what he would have done if he was facing a player who did not have time stop countermeasures. This is very common misunderstanding that almost every reactor comes to the sword CAN technically kill ainz if ainz just stood there and let gazef hit him with the sword for hours or days,what ainz means by the sword can harm him is that the sword allows someone to bypass the immunity that Ainz has to attacks by creatures lower than level 60. I'll explain the origin of the sword after season 4 because I'm not sure if it's a spoiler or not since it's never addressed in the anime. It was Pandora's actor acting as momon you can tell because of how 'excited' albedo got when ainz touched her shoulder.

The thing with Renner is covered in the 4th season of the anime which culminates in scene that nobody saw coming.

lol I love the interaction between Albedo and "Momon". 23:46 Momon was actually Pandora's Actor. "No one will marry a woman like you." Brutal and hilarious when this is being said by the "son" of the man Albedo loves. XD Even Albedo briefly lost focus after hearing that bit of improv from PA with "Hearing that from you doesn't make me..." Ainz is actually Ainz inside the cart.

[@bahajirutmspt436]

in the fight againts Gazef, Ainz used [Silent magic - time stop] which he also used againts the workers who invaded Nazarick. While time is stopped, you cant cast spells. But only about %5 percent of magic casters, Ainz included, can use the [delay magic] metamagic and time it so perfectly that the spell activates the moment time stop ends. Thats why he used [delay magic - true death]. When Gazef stated that he didnt wanted to be resurrected, his thoughts were; It was not that resurrection magic was bad. However, Gazef disliked it. Everyone only had one life. That was why the decision to stake one’s life meant so much. In addition, he could not come back from the dead, for the sake of the Kingdom. If Gazef died, then the King could spread the news that he had lost an important subject. That way, the King could temper the hatred and resentment which the people would feel towards the royal family for all the deaths in this battle. This was a final act of loyalty from the Kingdom’s Warrior-Captain, who had chosen to act selfishly. 16:21 thaty Ainz cast that spell in the first place, to make sure they couldnt resurrect him even if they wanted. In the novels its said "the body will be returned after being properly prepared" and that is probably cleaning the body/casting preservative magic or whatever after death customs the new world has. Also maybe taking a look at what his magic items do. 19:51 true death was a 9th level spell, not a whole lot of people that can use 9th level let alone thoose who know some sort of resurrection. 24:08 momon is Pandora`s actor btw. Ainz is Ainz 29:31 Soon

[@2DTL]

5:55 - In that case with Gazef it's not pride, but honor, honor to his king, and citizen of the Kingdom. Remember, in the first episodes of S1, he was ready to sacrifice himself to save villagers and his army. 30:56 - Same for me. After watching the Overlord, I wanted to read the original LN and read all 14 volumes (at the time) 2 times, and I don't regret a single second I've spent on it. It tells you much more that anime gives us - Some scenes were changes in the anime, but in the light novel they are not only different, but also explained why it is the way it is, not mentioning all the thoughts of Momonga.

"people are telling me season 4 is messed up, but already this was messed up, surely it cannot be that bad"-> he still didn't learned... You have a loooong way to go.

[@daverboy]

You know, I hadn't rewatched any of Overlord since the first time I saw it, when each season came out, and I caught so much more of the ways in which Ainz was showing respect to Gazef. PVP isn't *just* a fun way to include MMO terminology because he's an MMO player. Ainz is treating Gazef like he's another player. Since he barely sees anyone in this world as even being people, treating one of them like a fellow player, or a 'real' person, is about the highest respect he can show. He even offered multiple times to leave Gazef in a state where he could be revived, which is something he never really cared about for anyone else he killed, except the lizardmen as valuable units. Because nobody cares if you kill the NPCs or mob enemies, but a fellow player has put time and effort into building themselves up, and it'd be a dick move to erase their hard work.

[@GREATARDMALKAV]

When the Emperor(blondie) sit in his couch and begin to laugh.... is because he is remebering a few days ago when he was asking himself "Why Ainz did not ask for submission during our meeting?".... The answer The Emperor realize in that moment was...."I don´t need submision from ants!"

[@JeromeBellon]

16:13 "They're honoring his wish to not be resurrected." They don't even have a choice at the moment. They know of one adventurer with a resurrection ability, but it's too weak to work against Ainz's True Death spell as he warned them. There would be ways around that still, but they don't have any of these options available at the moment.

[@LegendaryDreamslayer]

I'll give you the ultimate visual aid for identifying Pandora's Actor vs Ainz. The red sphere inside of Ainz is a world item that he basically never takes off. If you see him with the Red Sphere its 100% Ainz every time. If he doesn't have the red sphere its almost always Pandora's actor. Also Pandora's Actor tends to be a bit more over the top than Ainz in conversations. His dramatic flair.

[@gilgamesh4710]

I agree with what you said about overlord having so many characters and the fact that they all written really well, you end them liking them all both main and side and the interactions between them that its never enough

[@nightdagger]

It should be noted that time-stop magic in Yggdrasil isn't commonly used in PvP, because while it does stop time for everyone around you who doesn't have some sort of counter-measure to it (it actually slows their movements so much that effectively time stops for them rather than actually stopping it), since it's still running at normal speed for you, your spells still fire off with the normal timing, and any spell that hits someone under the effect of Time Stop doesn't affect them at all. The only people who use Time Stop for PvP are those who have mastered the ability and perfected the timing through laborious practice to cast spells that fire the instant Time Stop wears off through the use of Delay Magic. Like Ains. That's why he used Delay Magic, True Death. If he'd just cast True Death, Stronoff wouldn't have been affected at all. He delayed the spell's activation until the instant Time Stop dropped, so in Brain and Climb's eyes Ains killed him without even casting a spell.

[@darkcarnage9188]

Razor's Edge is a Specail sword made from older magic and momon was Pandora's actor ^^

[@zmortis111]

Also Pandora's Actor tends to be more "flamboyant" when he is acting as someone. He also insults Albedo as the two of them are somewhat competitive with each other.

[@JeromeBellon]

24:12 "Hearing that from you doesn't make me... I don't understand." First, Ainz in the cart has red eyes. So guess who's in the armor doing all the posturing. Second, Albedo is basically being told that she has no charm, which is supposed to be insulting. Third, she doesn't care about the insult - not too much anyway, but she still winces - because she only cares about the opinion of someone else.

[@0Everlast0]

Especially for what happens in season 4. You HAVE TO read the light novels too. It's just amazing. For me it was the only anime that pushed me to read all the light novels AND the special separate volume which has ainz "alone" in this world hundreds of years befofe.

[@azurepulse1870]

The word you're looking for is reluctant. He was reluctant to kill Gazef. He really does like the guy and hoped to avoid it. "Pride is not the opposite of shame, but its source."- Uncle Iroh

23:52 Ainz is playing all 4 sides of the chess board.

[@rebaxbayushi577]

Here's to another great season's ending! Great reaction once again and I really like seeing your mind working to understand as much as possible and make connections everywhere in this series! 1- I'm glad you still like Ainz in that scene. Yeah, he is disapointed. He wanted Gazef to join him, but was rejected. That is disapointing. But still, he still respect him a whole lot, way more than he let it show. 2- It isn't pride that pushed Gazef to request a duel, it is both respect and curiosity, also hope. Respect because he look up to Ainz for saving the Carne villagers. Curiosity because he want to know how far he got with the sword, even though he know fully well he will die and have no chance to win. Hope, because if he give Ainz enough amusement, he might save his king, someone who he is indebted to and he look up to as much as he look up to Ainz, even more, and his friends right next to him. So no, it wasn't pride. Honor, sure, but that's different. He play it as pride, but it is far more than that. 3- What Ainz meant by that sword could kill him is pretty simple really. The sword is strong enough to pass his passive weak weapons imunity. The weapon can damage him. If I remember correctly, it also reduce passive regeneration, so he could take more damage than hecould regenerate. It really isn't anything more complicated that that. Of course, the sword got other powers, but they aren't what could kill him. 4- Fun fact, that duel was actually way more intense than you think. It wasn't as easy as what it seems in the anime. Oh, don't get me wrong, it basicly happened exactly the same in the light novel, but with more details of how cracked Ainz actualy is. I will try to better explain it, but being ESL, I might struggle a little so please bear with me. The first spell Ainz used was used to stop time for a set amount of time. If I remember correctly, it was 10 seconds, maybe 15. During that time, magic was nullified from every source, even himself. The way to bypass that was to use a delayed spell that would end after the suration of the first spell. That's easy enough to do, but in Yggdrasil, just doing that would have given a chance to the opponent to flee the spell range, counter it or nullify it, so what player usualy did was use a timer to make sure the second spell would go of at the exact time the first one ended. What Ainz did is just cracked, he calculated mentaly when to use the delayed spell so it would go off as soon as his first spell ended. That's like less than 1/100th of a second window he hit. That's impressive by itself. But not only that, he also chose the best spell for the best result during that time. True Death is a, if I remember correctly, 6th tier spell that kill anyone it affect if they do not resist it and makes it impossible to bring them back to life without a very high tier resurection spell. Gazef didn't want to be brought back to life, so he chose that spell to grant him his wish. He chose that spell out of respect for his opponent. That's already an heavy scene when you can't understand that, but with that information, it's even heavyer. Such a great scene. Also, him proposing to remove the curse was kind of a test for the others. If they accepted, he would have done it, but he would have kept in mind they disrespected Gazef's last wish and he wouldn't have liked that at all. 5- Don't worry, you'll get more Albedo in season 4. She is one of the main protagonist of that season, so we see her more often. Of course, I won't spoil what will happens, but I said just enough to wet your appetite. 6- Using Momom like that is actualy genius. The people of this city look at him like a hero because, let's be real, after the undead legion in the first season, he was an actual hero. They trust him to protect them. Ainz worked really hard to earn their trust after all. So, by using him as a "watch dog" he made sure the people would feel safer and would give him a chance to govern the city fairly. If he didn't, Momon, who is one of the strongest adventurer of the country if not the strongest, will fight for them. Also, the fact he refused to fight at that moment because it would havemeant mane cassualties made people look up even more to him, so they feel kind of safeish even with that many undead in the city. The reason you can't see it is because you know the characters behind the scene, you aren't part of the terorised citizens, for them Momon is their only hope to survive. 7-The reason there wasn't an after credit scene is mainly because they weren't sure if there would be a 4th season. When they started, they wanted to make only 1 season. They were so surprised by the popularity of the show, they green lit the season 2 and 3, but the 4th one wasn't sure to happen. After all, the first season's popularity might have been simple luck and it could drop during those seasons, but no, it's popularity increased instead, so season 4 it is! And to answer your question, I'm not sure which is my favorite season. I think the 4th one, but the third one is about as interesting for me.

[@FROYOBLKb4nny]

31:30 The light novels are so good. Easily my favorites that I've read, you learn so much about the world and characters uou otherwise wouldn't. Kugane Maruyama's writing style is awesome! There's so much detail with everything, and So Bin's illustrations are the cherry on top. 10/10 high recommend.

[@darthrevan2959]

ainz is a collector of everything thats quite rare, he also collected for example the lizardmen ice sword

[@cynthialenz4962]

21:23 You've answered your own question, why Ainz doesn't want to harm her: Protect her, she's so sweet! 😉

[@animelovergurlopzv]

I know this is redundant but the best way to explain “momon the adventurer’s” role is he will now become the “leash” that will keep the people in e-rantel in obedience; as he is the crystallization of “humanity and justice” that will “protect” them from their new inhuman rulers.

[@mydor123451]

0:25 Movie comes out "At Fall" no known date nor what platforms will show it beyond theaters. 07:23 it only gets better from this point on ! :) 14:02 In the LN out of respect for Gazeff, he pulls out his goat army back (but still threaten to flatten the kingdom if they don't hand over E-Rantel) instead of finishing his rampage. 15:43 the minor damage to the army was due to them rapidly running for their life trampling one another, even though non of them were at actual risk lol. 16:20 As Ainz explained, they literally cannot resurrect from the Insta-death curse he put on. Although to some degree they also probably wanna accept Gazeffs wish to not be resurrected. 27:10 Surprisingly simple, Ainz is a monster no human can trust, Momon is a Hero everyone trusts, 1+1 = no antagonism from citizens (or moreso less). They can't trust Ainz being a good ruler to them but they can trust Momon saving them and killing "Ainz" off if he IS unjust. 31:21 I'd suggest getting the first 2 books, seeing how fast you consume them and decide then how hardcore you wanna go. I did the mistake of getting all 16 and now I just HAVE TO finish them asap haha I feel like after you finish watching Season 4, you gotta watch the entire series again, at least from season 2, the show throws you alot of hints for the end of season 4 that you either understand or otherwise will never expect.

[@-evilark-]

when ainz said the sword can kill him means it's just a sword capable of damaging him... so for someone max level with who knows how huge his hp pool is, it'll still need like countless slash to even lower ainz hp let alone kill him

When Albedo becomes his step mother she's going to have some stern words to say to Pandoras Actor about that "that's why your single" quip.

[@GunRunner106]

as a small small side note detail. in season 1, when ainz and narbarel killed clementine and the necromancer, they had to hand over their bodies to the authorities as proof, there was background talk in the LN between climb and the others, iirc, where they were basically informed that at some point the bodies of both disappeared and were never found again. there is a legit chance that clementine was resurrected at some point. in that regard they made a mini anime about clementine in that matter, is like a mini non canon (?) side story about after her waking up again. in that regard there is an castlevania-like overlord game, where you play as clementine. just 2 fun tiddybiddies. :D

[@-Apoptos-]

No, it was Ainzach, Rakesheer, and Panasolei that were talking about it and it was brought up that there corpses disappeared

[@GunRunner106]

@@-Apoptos- yap that one. adventuerer guild master, mage guildmaster and e-rantel major. is a shame that he is cut out of the anime, he seem like a rly interesting side chara. but yah point remains, the two got probably taken by the death cult of the necromancer, and they could be alive.

[@miragetv1718]

Great reaction! You should definitely read the books because they bring A LOT more information about everything. You get to read about what Ainz's world was like (our earth in the future), Yggdrasil and what the game was like and what players did, then a lot about Nazarick and the Supreme Beings, their personalities, how they raided the original Nazarick dungeon and etc, and also you get more about the New World in depth. There is so much more. There is also a whole book about Ainz in an alternate timeline where he stepped out of Nazarick when the game was about to shut down and was thus transported to the New World alone several hundreds of years prior to the current events.

[@bikalpsatyal6699]

19:53 the majority of the kingdom does not have the magical ability to bring him back ains spell he used to kill gazef also negates low tier resurrection spells and high tier ones are rare (other than ains I’m not sure who else can even do a high tier one the only other “full” resurrection I can think of on screen is the blue roses leader)

[@Zash0000]

I think the reason everything is Albedo light is because Albedo was a new addition for the LNs. Overlord started as a webnovel, then got picked up for a Light Novel adaptation. The author didn't want people paying for a story that he used to give away for free, so changed some things to surprise the old readers. Some things that have changed were the addition of Albedo, and that party of adventurers that accompanied Momon to Carne village that first adventure survived. Also, the audiobook format for the English LN is read by the VA who plays Ains in the anime.

[@gonzaga2456]

One thing not mentioned in the anime is part of the reason Gazef rejects being resurrected is that the kingdom drafted a large portion of its army from its peasants so there actually were not a lot of trained knights in the war just normal people that were given a weapon and told what to do. So because a lot of those people died if to the grieving families it seemed like the king had not lost anything in the war it would make the population resentful and likely to revolt.

[@流星之中]

What's Ainz means is that sword has a magic effect that can destroy the passive of Ainz then making affective damage to him but the problem is how many times of attack need to do in order to make Ainz HP to 0 lol

[@anime_enjoyer5507]

"it just feels like i havent seen this character enough" my guy, thats literally because we havent actually seen them enough because overlord develops the side characters more than their main characters

[@Katarax]

the whole city scene was to get the people to trust momon to keep ties reluctantly with the sorcerer king to make sure he doesnt hurt the people or make unjust laws, and also the people want to rise up they know they have to recruit momon to take on the sorcerer king, so pandoras actor will hear of any upstart revolutions in the city and report them to ainz... they also wanted to show that ainz is not an unjust ruler by coming to stop albedo during the showdown, like hey we dont have to go that harsh here, lets all be friends and you momon the people trust you so you will be like the town sherrif... deliver proper punishment to those who deserve it under "human law" if they act up.... he essesntially made momon the police force and the the 1 the people can trust to stand up to any unjust demands in the city from the new ruler..... ainz made momon to find out about the world around them and see if there was strong people but all the guardians think he did all that to raise momons rep just for this exact scenerio to be a voice of the people and call him brilliant for thinking that far ahead.... (demierge mentions it at the dwarven kingdom and in the meeting in reisties when he found the artifact as yaldebaoth) when he says he sees 10,000 steps ahead and demiurge is like that means everything with momon takes on so much deeper meaning now...

[@gillieshooter4742]

I think Gasef knew, as strong as he was, that he was just a drop in an ocean against the power of Ainz... so he gave his life, given that he is known as one of the most powerful humans in the world, to demonstrate just how insanely strong Ainz is to everyone else. He knew Ainz is not malicious(as far as he's known) so he bet on his honorable sacrifice ALSO stopping the goats too... and really Gasef accomplished everything he intended to. Also it was Pandora's Actor portraying Momon there.

I don't know if you would like to wait until after the movie to watch episode 8 and onwards.

[@theendofemeralds]

Ah yes, season IV when the, figurativly speaking, band of the titanics known as the kingdom of Re-Estize and the Baharuth Empire start playing, truly the darkest season yet, especially with the design of Albedo's sister

[@vusihoyi5659]

The sword is interesting because it has the ability to cut anything thus bypassing Ainz immunity to slash damage and his overall immunity to attacks up to a certain point. None of them can do anything about it because he's a level 100 player and the only things out there strong enough to hurt him are probably other level 100s world items and strong wild magic. Facing a level 100 at their levels is impossible unless you have a world item as they are known to toss the rules on their heads.

[@AffiqAnwar]

After this, The King asking Red Rose to resurrect Gazef like she did to her 2 comrades when they killed by Demiurge. However, since Ainz True Death magic spell was a high teir magic, she unable to do it and it spark a fight between them. Also, when Momon agreed to become Ainz follower, he mentioned to the kid and his mom that somebody might cast a spell to that kid to throw stone and want to show Ainz is a bad guy. That kid also said dont know why he do that to incite Albedo anger.

[@АйдоралСмертестойкий]

I have a feeling that if Gazef had accepted Ainz's offer Gazef would have been the "defender" against the "injustice" of the Sorcerer King in E-Rantel.

[@dawsterz3807]

Ainz can nullify all attacks under level 60 so the sword is at least higher then that to hurt him

[@-Apoptos-]

No, its not. Ainz was saying that the data level (essentially weapon level) was weak, and despite that, it could go through his defenses

[@4myzelf]

I might be misremembering this but in the novel, Ainz mentioning that though unlokely, under the right circumstances, the sword is capable of killing him therefore it met the most basic requirement for a "duel" where either of them could die otherwise it was no longer a duel but an execution. The bell is a magic lockpick The spell true death can only be nullified by a higher tier resurrection "true resurrection" a tier above the spells available for the people we've seen so far

[@Overlordmono]

Gazef understood PVP because there is actually an auto-translator on the world level working, and it was the first thing Ainz noticed in Light novel, since New world people`s mouth movement doesn`t match what they are saying and what Ainz hears, There are even instances that this translator fails because the word has no equal meaning in Japanese. And about Momon plan, they are using him as a guard dog because he is literally a hero of legends, so much so that in LN mothers actually brought their babies in front of his hotel so that they can receive his blessings and hero aura, so now they have that kind of hero protecting them from this undead. And now that helps lower the tension and also avoid any riot since people will inform momon of their plans firsthand.

[@slayers05]

2 questions. 1) Climb + Brain listened the info Ainz told Gazzef about the sword? 2) if climb idea of knowing the power of ainz and trying to get a counter, who will help that kingdom because the Emperor gilgagesh shoul be or have the most powerfull magicians + fighters

[@KingwolfLotts1]

The thing with Overlord that only 13 eps is because the first season only for promoting the Light Novel. This is a common case for Light Novel that got anime adaptation. They will give you one season with 12 episode (the common thing is suppose to be 12 eps) if the show is popular they will considerate making the sequel (yes only considerating not 100%). Of course there is some cases like Tensei Slime or Re Zero that have 24 eps in first season but that is because the studio want it. Madhouse which is studio who made Overlord known as not making the sequel the series they made unless the original source material are complete or already have a lot volume. And the testing is made 12 or 13 eps for the show. This is how they work. And surpisingly Overlord sales well. Then instead using big budget to make the new season they only use the same budget as before (or lower since you can see the quality of the visual) and they still have the same profit or better like the first one. They got cocky, releasing the third season on the same year as the season 2. People got mad about it. Because the visual is not as graphic like in the Ligh Novel describe it The good thing is they heard the critics. That's why Season 4 taking 4 years making. You will see the upgrade is indeed visible. But sadly the episode still 13. Seems like they really dont give a sh*t about non Ligh Novel reader. It's sad. Also that's why i read the Light Novel after season 3 (there is no season 4 for me at that time). And the first LN of anime that i've read. And it's become my number 1 favorite.

[@patrascunarcisandrei-pj3cb]

More reasons why Gazef decided to turn down Ainz's offer to become Overlord's subordinate Gazef was trying to show Climb/Brain what Ainz was capable of, so he could have planned against it in the future. 2 - Ainz was within reach of the sword, an opportunity that would probably never come again as the chance of reaching the enemy commander was rare. 3 - Gazef was worried if he turned traitor, the idiot nobles would use that as an excuse to look down on the commoners as filthy traitors. Gazef knew he had no chance and was going to die. He thought that with all the death, if Gazef died, then it would be hard for the people to make the king a scapegoat, since the king would also have lost his closest friend and bodyguard.
