Answering The Web's Most Difficult Overlord Questions (Q & A 8)

[@deathbeforedishonor6523]

My favorite series that you run. I always learn something new and hearing the thoughts and question of other fans answered by you brings a comforting air of shared joy in something we all love and enjoy.

[@Deng73]

I thought that the working theory about Evil Gods were that they were NPCs of the 8 Greed Kings' guild, and went cray-cray form the loss of their masters. Though it could be possible that they were 6 Great Gods' NPCs, but I think in that ase they would try to avenge them and attack Greed Kings, which would result in their demise. And on the note of the Elf King's primal earth elemental - from what I took from the V16, the elemental in question was not the Elf King's summon per se, but the result of a usage of an artifact that Elf King inherited from his father (who was one of the players, not sure whath batch of players he belonged to). The artifact in question was a pile of dirt in a special room where Elf King confronted Ainz, Aura and Mare.

[@psychopuglord2084]

Love these Q&As Question: We know Ainz has a spell called Control Amnesia that lets him manipulate a person’s memories. Could Ainz technically use this spell to convert anyone he wants into a loyal servant if he wanted to? (Spoiler) For example, at the end of vol 16 Zesshi was captured by Mare and brought to Nazarick where Ainz viewed her memories. Could Ainz not just use the spell to replace her loyalty to the theocracy with loyalty to Ainz. The process would likely take awhile but what if Ainz used his staff to boost his powers?

[@terry4751]

he alrwady did that to the preist who attacked his dungeon in season 3 the anime doesnt say it but in web novel yes he did the exact magic in fact it made him beleave ainz is GOD

[@redshellman]

You say you like Iseaki quartet eh? Well here is a fun one for you: how would Reinhardt actually scale compared to the cast of Overlord? We see in IQ that the main cast can't do much against him and even Ainz states as much. So would Reinhardt be the hero the New world needs to slay Ainz? Bonus points if you want to delve into any other IQ characters that you think might do well In the new world such as Rem, Naofumi or Aqua (turn undead). Love your content by the way. Thanks!

[@saljpal3]

5:20 I'd say the only real difference between transported and reincarnated is whether the character died or not before being summoned into another world. Subaru and Kazuma had the same conversation and both were summoned in there original bodies. Only difference is Kazuma died before being summoned to his new world.

my fav series is back love the videos keep em coming as long as you enjoy making them

[@sageballard6210]

In volume 11, there is a mention of three legendary creatures who live in the mountains. An angler fish that swims in lava, an underground dragon, and a phoenix. How strong are they or how strong do you think they are?

[@pantheon8728]

Do you remember the monster Ainz summoned in Episode 1 of the anime for Mare and Aura to fight for fun? If that monster somehow appeared in the middle of places like the Re-Estize Kingdom, the Baharuth Empire, or the Holy Roble Kingdom, or maybe the Slante Theocracy would it be a big of a problem for them?

[@jybgbayambang6749]

Thank you for answering my question about the resurrection wand.

[@-Apoptos-]

7:30 there's still the mention of lesser gods and servants of the Six Great Gods, like the god that the eight fingers are named after, which was a servant of the Earth God. So, it's not completely out of the running (vol 5 chapter 1)

[@TheUsedNapkin_]

Bless your Q&A’s❤ Edit question: the workers in season three of the anime who raided the tomb were clearly not enough. How much of the combined New World strength do you think would be required to fully clear the tomb and its multiple floors? (ignoring all wars and dispute between different kingdoms, of course)

[@ThatGuyAkashi]

No amount of New World strength could possibly hope to invade Nazarick, 1500 players and npcs tried to invade yet they failed at the 8th floor, and any player among them could conquer the world alone

[@DeformedSun21]

Maruyama said it would take all the forces of the entire world to just keep the Nazarick inside the tomb. It is impossible for them to clear it or even invade a significant amount of floors.

[@ThatGuyAkashi]

@DeformedSun21 No, they can't lamo. At best, they would get past the first or second floor. Gargantuan could literally annihilate the entire world all by itself

[@DeformedSun21]

@@ThatGuyAkashi That’s… what I said? I said it’s impossible for them to invade any significant fraction of the tomb. But no, Gargantua can’t solo the entire world simply because all the TDLs can beat him, not even accounting for anyone else.

[@-Apoptos-]

The author said that if the entirety of the new world invaded Nazarick, they wouldn't make it past the 4th floor. Their best chance is to just hold Nazarick off from the surface before they can spread

[@ScruffyMonk]

Isekai Quartet is a must watch for viewers of this channel.

[@Wavelength109]

Much appreciated on the content. Keep going.

[@lolikumadesbear1999]

What if Cid Kagenou from "Eminence in Shadow" and Ainz were Isekai'd into the same world (like in that Chibi OVA from Kadokawa). Imagine both groups, Shadow Garden and Nazarick, thinking the respective others are phonies and their leader delusional while Cid and Ainz just hang out. Roleplay bros xD

[@xvostik]

Hi 👋 In the movie was scene Shalltear fight with PDL Is any mention in light novel? Who would win in your opinion?

[@ErikNouvel-mh4tq]

I love your videos. Keep up the great work. 😊 my question is are we going to get another season of overlord and if so, when?

[@ConfusedDumplings-lv9uk]

Q&A question: has ainz truly lost his humanity since he has been stuck in the new world for so long

[@MoonisHavn]

Hope all is well bro. Enjoy your channel.

[@matteocr1191]

Hi! Can you explain what Karma actually does and if it is possible for Satoru and the other character from Nazarick to change the value of said characteristic?

[@bbd121]

My question: How are you? What's up around there? How's the year so far?

[@atomik4475]

Another question: what do you think happened to all the world items that were never discovered in Yggdrasil, what if all the undiscovered world items were also transported over into the new world and are just waiting to be discovered?

[@doglover1neo]

Maybe the deities are from the game itself. Assuming the theory that the world class items were the target of the summoning from the Dragon Emperor then the area surrounding those items could have been picked up. Similar to how the players were summoned but the fact that there are so few people to actually have a world-class item it wouldn't be unreasonable to assume that being near someone equipped with the item also means you get brought along with it. That would explain why even though Nazareth is Extreme outlier with having multiple world-class items, over 10 at some point. And that could explain creatures like the tree or ham the wise King of the Forest. Since she just randomly appeared one day doesn't mean she didn't just randomly appear one day in the New World because she happened to be right next to something very important.

[@Mandop-rd5qr]

I would laugh so hard if we found out Hansuke had a world level item and just left it on her cave

[@doglover1neo]

@Mandop-rd5qr Imagin if it's something like a hamster toy. A fantasy looking hamster toy. If OverWatch figured out how to turn a hamster into a weapon why not video games that are 100 years the future? Or like a scepter with a little Jingle Ball thing spinning around on top. Someone could figure something out on why there's a stupid jumbo hamster protecting a world class item in a video game.

[@-Apoptos-]

Hamsuke is confirmed to be a new worlder

[@Zuranon1]

The demon gods were strong, but to new worlders. I always believed they were just mercenary npcs summoned by a player in the new world like what Nazarick has also been doing. These npcs could only be at a max around level 85 as shown with the demon sins. Very strong for new worlders, but not player strong. Also the demon god king was probably a player who thought the new world was still just a game and sent the npcs to destroy things.

Good stuff

[@timothywilliams8530]

It's weird that the Slane Theocracy has SUCH a power imbalance with the countries around them. So they have a literal demigod and an ex member that almost turned the entire capital city of an enemy kingdom into an undead army, but they never took them over?

[@DeformedSun21]

@@timothywilliams8530 The Slane Theocracy doesn’t want to spread too much. Their afraid that if the expand a lot then PDL will attack them, especially if they take over the Re-Estize kingdom which borders the Argland Council State. Basically, the Slane Theocracy doesn’t want to directly control their section of the continent, as to not provoke the TDLs. The Re-Estize was basically a buffer zone between the Slane Theocracy. And of course, they already got wrapped up in a war against the Elven Kingdom which was a formidable match, so they couldn’t spread their forces too thin by expanding more.

[@Zuranon1]

I have always wondered if the dragon emperor is still alive or did he make a mistake with his ritual summoning spell and it used more energy then he expected killing himself because it used all of his soul energy instead of just part of it?

[@knightoflight8249]

Another possibility is that the evil deities were powerful New Worlders being led by a powerful NPC who was transported to the New World alone due to possessing a World Item given to it by their Master like how Albedo was given a World Item by her Creator before even being transported. This theory is possible due to the fact this happened a hundred years earlier to the current story and it’s possible some of the longer lived races who witnessed the world conquest, war with the Dragon Lords, and reign of the Eight Greed Kings were still alive and possibly used their experience surviving such events and possibly acquiring their dropped items from the abandoned corpses of the Greed King’s NPC’s, Dragon Lords, or even the Greed Kings themselves to get stronger. This was possibly done in secret and we know New Worlders can become stronger than the norm due to organizations like Corpus of the Abyss existing. Who have members that if I remember correctly could cast 8 tier magic. I say this was done in secret due to the Dragon Lord Alliance being established after the Fall of the Eight Greed Kings by these individuals to not be destroyed as a threat to the New World. And I believe a lone NPC with a World Item was their leader because it would have been a threat PDL would have acknowledged as a threat from YGGDRASIL and was the reason he got involved in the first place. And we do know a Dragon Lord can defeat a Player in single combat due the Deep Darkness Dragon Lord defeating a Player in the past and acquiring their World Item. I think it was he and the other stronger members of the Thirteen Heroes who assisted him who defeated the leader of the Evil Deities due to how Ainz defeated the Elder Coffin Dragon Lord in the Evil Eye bonus novel where he utilized the dominated Corpus of the Abyss members to act a distraction in their fight. At least this is my theory on the Evil Deities.

[@atomik4475]

Question: Is Ainz and surshana the only 2 players teleported to the new world to be level one hundred? Or were the 8 greed kings also level one hundred? Or were they just all high enough level (lvl 80-90)to the point where all 8 of them could take down surshana. Also another question, what if the eight greed kings was only just 1 player and then 7 level 100 npcs, the main reason behind this is that PDL says players revive at their guild base so possible PDL misunderstood lvl 100 NPC’s as players like he did with albedo

[@Messiah_598]

My question for next Q&A: In one of your videos You said 10 level is huge gap so how can Pandora's Actor 80 level restriction in shape-shifting could hold up to other floor guardian since he can't use those better spells and skills unlocked at higher levels like 90 or 100? And also can we safely assume that Rubedo is the strongest being in the light novel or atleast in pvp?

[@matteocr1191]

@@Messiah_598 I think Pandora's actor simply has less points in hp, mp, defense etc. (more or less the same character he is impersonating but at level 80) but with the same skills and abilities.

[@DeformedSun21]

@@Messiah_598 It isn’t a 80 level restriction, but 80 PERCENT of the potency. 80% of level 100 is probably like level 95. He still has all the classes, spells, skills, etc. but his stats will be lowered to be closer to what a lower leveled character might have

[@djdj-kh9wp]

1:41 in that case why doesn't he use the higher teared one keeping at a higher level would benefit him would it not

[@palexdo9433]

They have limited usage He needs higher teared ones for lower level people.

[@djdj-kh9wp]

Question what was the dead man's struggle

[@Mandop-rd5qr]

Question for next Q&A: Does Ouriola Omega from the eighth floor (I know that's spelt wrong, sry) have an alternate form that we know about like the rest of the Pleaidis? Also, is she considered to be one of the Pleiadis? I heard someone mention something about her being human as well but I could not confirm that.

[@Zuranon1]

She is stated to be a human blessed with immortality so probably some job class that grants eternal life. Lord Ainz did say there was job classes that could extend ones life span. So if she is a human than no she doesn't have a alternate form.

[@Mandop-rd5qr]

@@Zuranon1 Ok thanks. I've heard it mentioned but I didn't remember reading that before but that clears it up

[@ThePfeffernusse]

From what I remember, Maruyama based Overlord (and it's mechanics) on a DnD game that he ran. Do you have any experience with DnD or tabletop games?

[@atomik4475]

Question again: what happened to the world item used to control shalltear, downfall of castle and country? Since shalltear pierced through the user of the world item did the world item also get destroyed aswell bc shalltear put a big whole through the dress? Or is it still usable and the only way to render the world item useless is to completely destroy it

[@-Apoptos-]

They're indestructible so it either only pierced Kaire (the user) or it just fixed itself up. With Kaire hurt and two dead, they decided to retreat. In S4 ep 3 they skipped the talk about Downfall of Castle and Country (the world item) and thinking about using it on Ainz

[@Zuranon1]

Magic items are stated to be able to repair themselves and stay in perfect condition as long as they have durability. So world class items most likely follow the same rules, but their durability is probably so high that it is useless to try. Also a thought I had was that many world items have a activation cost so I think the activation cost of downfall is a aging effect and could be why she was so old looking. The item describes the beauty to destroy the world so you lose your beauty to do so.

Love that series and always was sad when LN complety ignored it. They even included a little intermission of it and never followed through.😭

[@pedrotrejo9858]

This question is wanting to know your opinion idk if there is a real answer. At the end of vol. 16 albedo is called on and she apologized thinking ainz may have found her out but that was not the case. My question is was here apology for forming the kill squad or was it cause she had actually used them for some reason?

[@jeffjeff-nu7jt]

What is the world champion class, is it a class or a tittle?

[@lamp4195]

I do want to know if you have had the chance to play the new to global overlord game, while if you want to actually play it is a question on it's own, I moreso think you can take from its additions to the lore, especially the "What if" scenarios introduced in a recent update, I don't know if any of these are cannon compliant or straight up just fanfiction, but it would be great to see your thoughts on them.

[@Dargon1o1]

Does anyone know if the Yggdrasil mechanic where using a skill/ability that costs XP still cost XP in the new world or is that cost gone? And if it still does cost XP can Ainz even get that XP back?

What pther nations are there in the new world that haven't touched on?

[@katsanabelawrencemahlatji1602]

Question what was Ainz most difficult fight in Ln

[@Daw3D]

Technically PDL has already fought against Shaltear when she was brainwashed so I would bet on PDL being Lv 95 or higher. Does the LN detail Shaltears confrontation with PDL at all? I was quite confused when I first watched the anime.

[@-Apoptos-]

It doesnt. When his scene comes up it just talks about a hole in the armor as if it were pierced by a lance

[@SAKAMOTOoo....o]

Don't know if its just me but the overlord movie felt more like a 2 hr episode then a movie

[@kupsa6472]

My question is ain't the goal of all life is death a spell that makes so your next insta kill spell ignores all resistances. So the goal of all life is death is not a insta kill spell it self

[@ginkage5863]

😍👍

[@palexdo9433]

Would you say that players had a positive influence on the new world or do you think they have polluted it like the dragon lords like to say. The dragon lords seem in my opinion just as bad or even worse than the players since they are likely responsible for bringing the players into the new world and have probably done other strange things with their wild magic. Cure Elem even sacrificed more than 100.000 people for his own purposes and still called himself „the most self sacrificing dragon lord.“

[@super_connor4827]

it depends on things and other variables. each character has their own perspective of good and evil. some would view the dragon lords better, other the players better. that question has no right answer too it.

If PDL fought shalltear before Ainz appeared does that mean Nazarick has been transported multiple times?

[@matteocr1191]

No, PDL fought shalltear when she was under mind control

[@-Apoptos-]

Shalltear attacks Black Scripture -> gets mind controlled and left -> PDL finds her and she attacks -> then Ainz finds her

[@Zuranon1]

I believe when the black scripture used the world class item PDL sensed its use and moved out to investigate where he then encountered shalltear. He tried to probe her to gain some information and she attacked in return like with Ainz. He probably teleported away and thats why she didn't chase him. Also Aura used a world item, but that was underground which probably helped conceal its energy that it released and thats why PDL didn't appear then.
