Answering All Your Overlord Questions and More (Q&A 5)

[@TheUsedNapkin_]

Hey, my name is Matt, and I wanted to show support to your channel. Your channel and others like it got me into overlord in the first place, and it has been a wonderful story to experience both on my own and through your videos. As cliche as it may be now a days, overlord and your videos definitely played a part in getting me through some tough times where mental health was a struggle. Your breakdowns, new episodes and other overlord channels gave me something to look forward to, and while I’m a little better now, I know that those played a role in why I’m still around today(I’m so hyped for the holy kingdom movie, and I can’t miss that for anything). You and your channel deserve so much support for all the great perspective and videos you put out into the world, and I’m grateful to have been able to watch you for so long. Your vids are always a joy and I wish only the best for you. This donation is only a fraction of what I feel I owe you, and I hope others support you and your content. Have a great day :)

[@TheUsedNapkin_]

For a QnA question, I thought of a fun hypothetical: In the event of Ain’s death or disappearance, who do you think of the NPC’s would make the best ruler of the kingdom? Any potential fallout or splintering of the NPCs would be very interesting to theorize about.

[@ZeronicKiba]

@@TheUsedNapkin_ First off, wow thank you for the ridiculously generous donation. Seriously, that was not necessary and I feel a bit undeserving. The only support I feel I should ask for is a like so this is way above and beyond in terms of support. Thank you so much. Secondly, I’m very glad that my videos have provided even a small amount of enjoyment. KZbin is a side project in the ongoing story of my life to me but providing entertainment is a big part of why I stick with it. Thank you for the kind words. I can’t wait to address your question in the next Q and A. Once again thank you very much for the donation and for supporting my channel.

[@tonyah.960]

I love the show, OverLord big time!

[@rondamon3553]

God, even though i know overlord front to back volume to volume, i just love watching these, and hearing someone else talk about this series i love

[@deathbeforedishonor6523]

I just wanted to say thanks for all your hard work and informative entertainment.

[@armandosolis9357]

Love your work and appreciate everything you do. Next Q&A: Do you think that in volumes 17 or 18 Ainz could potentially visit the Dragon Kingdom and learn about wild magic from Draudillon Oriculus? Her great grandfather the Brightness Dragon Lord did teach her about wild magic and even about other dragon lords like PDL and the most powerful wild magic spells they could use. Ainz can learn that wielders of a world item are completely immune to wild magic. The information could also help him figure out how PDL was controlling the armor and the abilities he displayed in his fight with Pandora’s Actor. He could also get some information about what PDL is truly capable of with his real body to help him prepare for when he does eventually kill him. I kind of theorized a bit.

[@ZeronicKiba]

@@armandosolis9357 thanks so much for the absolutely massive donation! Biggest on the channel yet! I’ll be sure to include your question in the next q and a! Thanks so much

[@andrejpancic1924]

Love this type of videos from you.... I am not the most Knowledgeable about Overlord(because im anime only) but what are in your opinion THE MOST POWERFUL WORLD ITEMS IN OVERLORD if you can name a few?

[@ZeronicKiba]

Wow thanks so much for your donation. I'll be sure to answer your question in the next Q and A!

[@Sun_en_Moon]

On the topic about leveling up for the npcs, its one of the issue Ainz tries to addresses for the growth of nazarik, where he tries to push the npcs to try make up for their weaknesses by using their minds more. This is seen with cocytus and the lizard arc, shalter and the dwarf arc and finally nazarik as a whole with the Roble holy kingdom arc how they would handle running things without him.

[@boholjaphethniel3873]

I think something to remember for the question at 3:44 is that the dragon emperor specifically targeted world items with that "ritual" he did but because of a mistake, the world items also brought players or buildings in there vicinity with them (also with being scattered within hundreds of years between each arrival), thus any player regardless of level can be brought into the new world. As for the question at 7:10, I believe Clementine's body could have been stolen by that the Slane Theocracy, since they were looking for her and they would have the means to quickly know about it and quickly retrieve her body. But it's just my theory. For the question at 13:26, a big reason that NPCs cannot level up is that their levels were connected to the guild base. From what I remember, a guild base would come with levels that the members can use to create and level up their NPCs and if they wanted more levels to use then I believe they had to buy the extra levels for their guild base since I remember the members of ains ooal gown becoming annoyed at Tabula since he was using a lot of the guild base levels for his creations (I don't remember where I got that info from). If anyone can expand on or correct what I said then please do

[@-Apoptos-]

5:00 DDDL was also said to have the advantage against the floor guardians, and that other than Shalltear, his chance of winning was quite high.

[@deathbeforedishonor6523]

Some of the very best videos are the Q & A videos, I learn far more from them then just browsing the internet. Heck, many times there are questions asked that I either forget or would have missed because I am not looking at things from a particular point of view or angle, which makes it well worth it alone. Thanks for answering my question on One Piece. That is a understandable reason for not making any videos on it for some time and as they say, time is a priceless commodity, once it is lost you can't get it back. So always try to spend it wisely. For many years I was the only one in my family that watched anime. A year ago I managed to finally convince my younger sister to sit down and watch some anime with me while she was visiting me since we only see each other every so often. I managed to get her hooked and now we talk about it and share it all the time which has definitely made things more fun for us. I thought it was pretty cool when you brought your sister in and tested her knowledge with some Overlord questions. So what are the chances of you bringing in your sister for another video or perhaps a different friend / family member? The joking and banter you 2 had with each other reminded me every bit of when my sister and I go at it and it is always a lot more fun now that we both watch anime.

[@jamesback8024]

Love your Overlord Videos! QUESTION!? Can you confirm or refute my theory PLEASE! In the dark warrior arc, When Narberal is fighting Khajiit, She uses a dagger Clearly from The swords of Darkness. My theory is she took that dagger from Lukrut, because, she actually liked him. I have found NOTHING on this, and feel free to make a video if i'm on to something unnoticed.

[@ZeronicKiba]

@@jamesback8024 thank you very much for donating! Your question will be in the next q and a video for sure!

[@adrianonojeide6153]

Question If New-worlders can meet the requirements to unlock job classes like Paladin, by being “a knight who physically expressed the justice they believed in” (Overlord Volume 12). And classes like Curse Knight, by being a warrior who was cursed. [Leinas Rockbruise Character Sheet.] Do you think it is possible for New-worlders to unluck world classes, more specifically [World Champion]? This is not mere conjecture on my part either. New-worlders like Gazef Stronoff, who won the Kingdom’s royal martial tournament and the Empire’s Grand Arena champion, Go Gin, were able to unlock the [Champion] job class. Naturally, as both of them are champions, who won tournaments and stood undefeated, they boast the [Champion] job class. But therein lies my question, if a tournament was held between the strongest individuals in the world could the winner unlock the [World Champion] job class? (Gazeff - Volume 5 Character Sheet) (Go Gin - Volume 10 Character Sheet) We know that a player was required to win 1 of 9 developer-sanctioned tournaments to obtain the world champion job class. But, hypothetically speaking, if Nazarick were to host a World tournament within the new world. Do you think the winner of the tournament being an actual world champion, would unlock the [World Champion] job class? I say this because new world there's classes seem to generally match their professions. A mercenary would have the [Mercenary] job class, a Thief would have the [Thief] job class and so on and so forth We know that world classes exist, and we know that new worlders can unlock them. True Dragon Lords like Cure Elim Los Malvar (ECDL) and Tsaindorcus Vaision (PDL) have the job Class of World Connector. World Connector is probably a wild magic class held by every true dragon lord, so not sure how much weight that holds. Please let me know what you think. I put a lot of effort into formulating this question and would like a thoughtful, intellectual response . Not trying to be rude, it's just something that's really been on my mind.

[@ZeronicKiba]

[@ZeronicKiba]

Thanks so much for donating! And no you haven't. Go ahead and reply with your question and I'll be happy to answer it in the next Q and A video.

[@justice32legends]

I have a fun hypothesis. I tend to believe provided the available lore Riku was the leader of the 13 heros 200 years ago and for some reason PDL ended up killing him. Going by this theory there are a couple questions I find hard to answer. 1) Was the other player, the one Riku supposedly killed a fellow member of the 13 heros or the Leader of evil deities? 2) Does Rigrit know PDL murdered Riku? 3) What did PDL mean by special items from YGGDRASIL that can rival Guild Weapons? Was he referring to WCIs? Because we know PDL knows about WCIs and Guild weapons are extremely powerful Divine Class Items only rivalled by other Guild Weapons and WCIs. Considering how most Guild Weapons are exclusive gears for Guildmasters as well, the only items I would think being useful to him would be WCIs though! A bit unrelated queries, 4) How does Rigrit even erase her presence despite being a necromancer? 5) Elf King refers to his father as the strongest fencer. Is it the same guy who wielded the guild weapon kept in the Flying City? 6) Why is ECDL still alive despite 13 heros recruiting Evileye? Did platinum just lie to those fellas to shelter Cure Elim and he's that unnamed dragon lord collaborating with PDL in east as Maruyama mentioned in vol 14? They said the alliance of five dragon lords fell apart and ECDL and PDL both were a part of that.

[@CZ2_Delta]

Great video as always! I'm glad you appreciated the tip on the last Q&A. I felt your dedication to Overlord deserved some love!😊(And I couldn't help myself with the ''2nd one'' joke) 🤣 Since you insist on donators asking you a question for the next Q&A, here's mine! Not a question on the Lore, but on a specific Volume. I can't remember if you have read or not the Bonus Volume (The Vampire Princess of the Lost Country)? If so, can you briefly tell your viewers what you thought of it, and what was your favorite aspect of this alternate story of the Supreme Ruler? This Volume is oddly one of my favorites, and like many Overlord fans, I'd wish the author would write a sequel to it down the line. Sadly, it was only available (limited) to the Japanese audience, so many fans like me had to do with the fan-translated version online. Nonetheless an awesome read, that I'm sure inspired many fans to write fanfictions themselves. Have a great day! 😉

[@jakubvalenta7803]

I Totaly argree that this is one of the best volumes and I also wish for sequel

[@timothycambron]

How would you like to see the story and its characters of Nazarick and the new World end? Specifically where each character might end up, when the final volume(or volumes) is released?

[@ZeronicKiba]

Thank you for the very generous donation! That’s a pretty loaded question. I’ll address as best I can next q and a video!

[@timothycambron]

@@ZeronicKiba You’re welcome. I don’t expect you to hit every character(there is quite a few side characters) but maybe pick your top 5 of Nazarick and of the New World?

[@JJFilmzs]

If I’m not mistaken it is mentioned that Clementine was being pursued by the sunflower scripture who were fairly close to finding her which is why she was going to escape in the middle of the disturbance. So I assumed that they recovered the bodies and they were taken back to the theocracy. Q&A: so based on that do you think that they could actually play a part in this next arc if the theocracy had them revived and questioned? Maybe even allowing the theocracy to reveal Momon’s connection to Ainz to the world.

[@demiurge7117]

Next Q&A question What is your favorite bit of content not put into the anime from the light novel? (Spoilers) Mine is in season two how evil eye while talking to climb when he came to inform blue rose about the plan just potentially name drops a potential world iteam.

Ayeeee new video from my fave KZbinr ❤

[@SleepyKurisu]

I don't necessarily have a question to leave for this video but I feel like it's been so long since s4 that my lote knowledge has been lacking so I'm due a binge watch of all the overlord explained videos Would love if you could continue making those, I don't have anything specific I'd like covered but anything dealing with the factions or specific characters is nice

[@nerovalquel1844]

That intro is something...

[@ademholmes9976]

Another one from my guy!

[@JesusRamirez-vs9bd]

Hey there. Loving your videos and enthusiasm for making them. Something I'd like more info on is why New Worlders dislike the spell Message, but Ainz and the rest of Nazarick use it without issue?

[@saljpal3]

Hey Zeronic thanks for answering my questions. Just wanted to say the reason I asked my second question is because in the light novel when Ainz was about to go in the mausoleum before fighting Shalltear, he said he had to remove all the extra rings of Ainz Ooal Gown from his inventory box because they still counted as being on his person and would cause the Avataras to attack him. So I wonder if that also applies to having world items in your inventory box?

[@Goatgotban]

Ainz by himself with prep time vs the entire new world

[@Daw3D]

Would be great for a overlord best LN volume ranking video Would watch that for sureee

[@lewiswirth4790]

I just assume Ainz secretly had Clementine's body taken in fear of resurrection magic and someone finding out the Momon is Ainz's secret identity. Also the study of the body itself for secrets to martial art technique that did not exist in yggdrassil

[@saljpal3]

He's also concerned about her disappearance, so no he didn't take her body.

[@JJFilmzs]

If I’m not mistaken it is mentioned that she was being pursued by the sunflower scripture who were fairly close to finding her which is why she was going to escape in the middle of the disturbance. So I assumed that they recovered the bodies and they were taken back to the theocracy.

[@JJFilmzs]

I was wrong it was mentioned in the web novel

[@Undeadz93]

Neat questions and videos if the 6 pleadies maids were to fight in combat who do you think would come out on top?

[@Blazes21]

My theory on why the Nazerick NPC can't level up is because the mechanics for increasing NPC levels in Ydrassil was by Players paying their own EXP to create or alter guild NPCs. So now that those systems don't exist in the new world Ains can't pay exp to level up Nazerick but they can theretically learn some of the new worlds abilities like Martial Arts.

[@pyrrhicvictory6707]

I suspect Clementine will be resurrected later by a force opposing Ainz. Momon mentioned a lot of things to Clementine before he squished her. Such as the fact he was an elder lich (sorta) in disguise and the existence of Yggdrasil. Clementine is going to be problem in the future.

[@lawrenceflower8418]

Hi love viewing the overlord Q@A. I wondered if the other players in the past had NPC’s like the floor Guardians?

There's a theory that the Evil Deities were actually NPCs of the Six Great Gods.

[@pathalenvivaldi7811]

The 13 heroes leader, if I recall right, was supposedly somewhere between level 55-70. I can't recall where it was stated, I am going off memory and hope I'm not inaccurate, but if I'm right, aye, he was only between those levels.

[@energymasterj7481]

Question for future video: Did Pandoras actor lose XP from summoning the Lv80~ doom lord against Pdl, or is it higher levels that require xp

[@agentminerchuan007]

Q&A Can new NPCs be made? You mention NPCs can't level up and players can, what about their children? Like are the godkins, the children of players are just strong because they are born like that or because they can level up. What if NPCs like sebas has a kid, can it level up? Not a question but I think it would be a funny scenario since players arrive at the new world at different times. It would be funny if somewhere there is another tomb of nazarick with the NPCs and all, along side with another guild member like herohero for example. There will effectively be double the trouble.

[@JA-mr5vl]

I am a new subscriber here. In Overlord, the 8th Floor is full of mystery and one of them is Rubedo. Albedo once talked about her with Ainz and stated about switching her on or something, and she may be dangerous to Ainz if she rebels. Can you give us your insight about the 8th Floor inhabitants including Rubedo? Even if it's not canon.

[@saljpal3]

The only other inhabitants of the 8th Floor we know of are Aureole Omega and Victim.

I think in the Pleades extra content, Clementine actually got resurrected but those are not canon so xD

[@GunRunner106]

the player from the 13 heroes also had another player or npc with him most likely. there is like an castlevania esk game with clemintine as the main chara. there is alsoalso that mini series that focuses on her after getting revived. that is probably noncanon tho. i like the idea that she got revived tho....

[@saricckwolfkin7398]

new vid? LETS GOOOOOOO

[@S1234P]

I have a question about Pandoras Actors form of Momon, is it just PA's form of Momonga(Ainz) with the gear and the skills to turn into Momon(basically doing the same thing Ainz does when he becomes Momon), or would this count as PA transforming directly into Momon taking up a doppelganger form slot apart from Ainz?

[@Khristos13]

Can Pandora's Actor equip the Supreme Ones' gears when he is in their form? That would overcome the 20% stats debuff and give even more advantages from the gears' bonus stats and skills!

[@nugolderp4115]

Do Yggdrasil gods exist in the New World? Like, Shub Niggurath has been teleported?

[@nerovalquel1844]

Clemente(?) have a game spin off where she try to escape from Nazarik. Is that game canon? 7:56

[@arachika9332]

Just a what if question, if all members of Ainz Ooal Gown were transported what could happened to the new world and to the guild? will it be much worse like they could possibly do a world domination since they're all level 100 (as far as I remember) or possibly other members will fight each other because of their own ideologies specially Touch me.

[@DeformedSun21]

I have a question, but I do not believe we have an answer, I just want to know your opinion on it. I think it’d be interesting. As the running theory goes, the Emperor Dragon Lord summoned the world items to the New World, and every century or two they arrive along with their surroundings. Do you think that these summoned world items, players, etc. are brought only to the main continent where we explore in the series? Or do you think that they are sent all over the world, and there could be tons of other players dotted around on different continents?

[@arcmen2275]

Pandora actor fight is a more optimize ainz vs shalltear fight without the cashshop item.

Can we get a room review? O.o

[@ShaingTV]

I actually have a bit of a meta question. I keep hearing that the english version of the lightnovel is really bad but... why? And are the translations in different languages better? I have read the first three Volumes in german and was perfectly fine with it, but am wondering whether to actually buy the remaining novels in english, or wait for the translation in my native tongue in hopes for a better translation. Also since i perhaps caught your attention, another question. In the Scene in Season 2, Ep. 5 where Solution was ordered by Sebas to heal Tuare, it very much so looks like Solution is going to first torture her to have her fun before healing her. What exactly happend there and do the NPC's sometimes not follow each other commands like they would with Ainz? Really makes me curious about the interaction between NPC's.

[@Noxic_Lele]

[@eliseohammer8650]

Hey Zeronic…..When PDL told Ainz that his name was Riku Aganeia, do you think Ainz will investigate that name so thoroughly he would find out that Riku Aganeia is really dead? Another question to add on to that, would he resurrect Riku in a protected area in Nazarick and question him?

[@kushjindal2939]

If a player dies, do they return to their original world? Or do they go to some afterlife related to the new world?

[@xheartpluscrossx]

On the topic of leveling up, i dont remember where i read this but apparantly the guild npcs cant level up because their level is tied to the guild base level limit and leveling up would put the guild base over the level.

[@najibali7593]

i believe the game YGGDRASIL was shut down because people was disappearing to the new world or ther body go to coma

[@OverDlordzoro]

Do you think ainz going find a way to become stronger because he is a mortal and can live for thousands of years are ainz going find a way to learn wild Magic and what the name of the two World items ainz have from the 20 in what can do keep the work I'm a fan from Morocco and I love your videos and how much you reach in one piece and you when you catch up please read the Manga because the stuff happening are crazy

[@fl4k4tt4ck8]

Was there ever a definitive answer as to why enri could summon an entire army of high level goblins?

[@hmmidk6023]

The simple explanation is that she simply had a high commander level allowing her to summon more of the goblins army

[@saljpal3]

All we know is that she fulfilled the three conditions to summon the army.

[@peaceinoutb]

Forgive the mess of structuring this question. How much of a difference in power do levels make? Is it more linear where a level 90 would only have a sizeable advantage versus an 80 or more logarithmic where that difference would be so far apart it would be a cakewalk. I've only seen mention of class restrictions and not level and/or stat restrictions for gear but even so pretend they are both of similar gear quality.

[@ThePfeffernusse]

If I'm remembering this right, Maruyama based Overlord on a DnD game he used to play with his friends before they all left. Do you have much experience with DnD or tabletop games?

I have a question on leveling NPC, if Ainz can still used admin privilege can he just used it to alter their level?

[@jybgbayambang6749]

Hello can you please explain the item that ainz used when he revived warrion king at baharuth empire arena. Was that an item that can resurrect or is it an item to enhance the effect of ainz resurrection skill?

[@watermelonfruit7560]

Is wish upon a star at the same level as wild magic since it can do anything?

[@sageballard6210]

Wild magic is more on the same level as a world class item since world items are the only things that can counter wild magic.

[@allyoucansee590]

You were wrong about the world item mechanics, if you do have a world item equipped then you are immune to wild magic. That’s albedo was able to smash through the world isolation barrier

[@sageballard6210]

If someone dies of old age, could you resurrect them? For example, if fluder died of old age, would ainz be able to revive him with magic.

[@andrewstanley8945]

Good question!

[@justmenoah1729]

And how old would they be if they are revived

[@jmsunday]

They could, but it depends. Fluder might be turned into an undead, as Ainz once explained that resurrecting the Lady of particular holiness (vague for spoiler purposes) without a sufficient amount of material can turn her into an undead. In the same situation, without the sufficient material needed to be a living immortal, Fluder might instead become an undead immortal

[@saljpal3]

From what Ainz said, resurrection doesn't affect lifespan so if he resurrected someone who died of old age they would probably die again soon after.

[@trazyntheinfinite9895]

​@@jmsundaythat the girl that Frog demon went clubbin with?

[@louth2882]

The ring that allows +5 levels can low level NPCs use it? For example Cixus the maid that escorts Ainz in season 4 has like 1 level in maid but with the ring she's level 6?

[@saljpal3]

I'm pretty sure anyone, including NPCs can use that ring.

[@Some_tunisian_punk]

Can any one from yggdrasil learn or obtain wild magic? Cause i far as ik there's a dragonlord who did use tier magic,also a world item that can change classes, U think maybe sebas can turn into a true dragonlord with that item and obtain the ability to use wild magic along with tier and his raw power?

[@zinthezweihander2053]

Oh, is the Ple Ple Pleiades mini anime is not considered canon? Clementine is supposed to have faked her death and escaped

[@nesfexmlp8234]

I know ainz is a skurleton. But can he have a child with albedo or shalltear?

[@saljpal3]

Not in his current form but there are items that can change his race.

[@x-manfam705]

Is level 100 the overall cap of the new world, or with enough time can Ainz reach something like lvl 150 or 200? And could the floor guardians individually defeat PDL?

[@saljpal3]

It's impossible for players and NPCs to reach past level 100 but there is an exception to this by equipping items made with wild magic. An example would be if one of the guardians wore Gazef's ring, their level would increase past level 100. Also The Dragon Emperor (father of PDL) was above level 100.

[@ahmedmohamed-lu7kt]

U should read lord of the mysteries since u like lore and world building. If u do read it I would like to warn u that the first volume is slow to most people since all of the world building

[@youtubesadhominem9118]

why was the overlord movie so bland as it skipped a lot of critical and cruel content mentioned in the novel?

[@Kindafu]

I thought the leader of the 13 Heroes was an NPC. The way PDL and Rigrit talked about him seems like he turned on his master/player.

[@saljpal3]

PDL called him a player, my theory is he accidentally killed his companion because he didn't know friendly fire was turned off in the New World.
