[@DevinAswani]

ainz has a leash on the guardians but the tomb is what traps satoru

[@JamesTobiasStewart]

As much as his suppressed empathy makes Ainz pretty damn willing to kill and conquer, with a few exceptions like Sebas, his followers are more evil than he is and with a much greater sadism than he has. In a bizarre way he is restricting some of their worst impulses.

[@King_of_Blue-Eyes]

Their worst nightmare is for the last supreme being abandone them. More reason for them to be careful.

[@Kamina.D.Fierce]

He's also the only one keeping them from killing each other and themselves. Other than Sebas, I doubt a single one of them could survive in the world autonomously. They are THAT dependent on Ainz as a "leader". Really he gives them purpose more than anything else.

[@darkknight8702]

@@VA_Nightshade True that, translating altruism towards humans he likes to Albedo by rewording it to 'testing' or 'making an example' takes good interpersonal understanding of her. One thing some people tend to forget is that the denizens of Nazarick especially the inner circle are inhuman monsters, they see humans and other non-Nazarick NPCs the same way humans see piles of garbage, disgusting, and repugnant, you don't show altruism or compassion to trash but you can use it and conduct experiments with it. Plus in the end Sausage Ainz-Sama's glorious Great Crusade to understand WTF is going on is peak entertainment and a core of his character.

[@Thommy2n]

When Ainz pointed out the double edge of "The superior bears responsibility" that it would also fall on Albedo (being the bosses boss) and then on him (the boss of the bosses boss) I was so sure that Albedo's protests would go the usual route of asking to be... punished. (Like finally get to do what Shaltear did and be Ainz's seat).

[@VA_Nightshade]

Albedo loves attention from Ainz, but she often knows when to stop when Ainz has made his point. Ainz welcomes Albedo's word, and allows her to speak freely, but if he has had enough, he will make it known. She has gotten better at not pushing him to far, and instead knowing when to stop prodding.

[@MrMilkyCoco]

She was actually afraid this time. She didnt know what kind of punishment she would get.

[@ameliakyle7054]

also you gotta keep in mind pretty much all the guardians are present, do you want to be by extension saying a SUPREME ONE is at fault for what happened? Not a chance.

[@King_of_Blue-Eyes]

Ainz words was so full of compassion and yet so logical at the same time, it’s not easy to do that. 🤩🤩🤩

[@alexandercross9081]

No compassion, he literally can't. It's a combination of expedience and not wasting a useful resource. Coupled with what Suzuki Satoru thinks good management is.

[@charlesdale4026]

Ainz is not your typical villain, he is pragmatic and respects those deserving of it. He does not enjoy killing without reason, all that he does has purpose behind it even if it is selfish and destructive. Ultimately he desires to find happiness for himself and his friends. The guardians each have their personalities but all agree that he is their supreme master and will serve him loyally.

[@lordtrinen2249]

I love the dub but I can't help but think Hilma's voice actress could've put more emotion into her performance. Outside of maybe her "baptism" where she was eaten inside out by roaches again and again, being brought before Ains, the master of the people who have brought her so much suffering, would be the most terrifying event in her life. She's so scared that she has bruises/scuff marks on her forehead from where she's pressed it against the floor, too afriad to lift her head. Every fiber of her being should be quaking in abject terror and yet Hilma sounds remarkably calm throughout. And when Ains pardoned her, she should've had more relief in her voice. All in all, Hilma's performance is underwhelming.

[@arturarruda8151]

😆 she was dominated while answering the questions. Of course she's calm. Dominate > Charm spell.

[@Ruytter]

@@arturarruda8151 whatch the original, Hilma is freaking out every step of the way. She only gets a little calmer after Ainz declared her innocent.

[@Dark-iv3gm]

Yes I agree I watched the sub and now that I see the dub I didn't like her sounding like that. She almost sounded angry than in the brink of dispair.

[@VampireNewl]

Agreed at 0:33 she seems more annoyed that she's being blamed than fearing that she's about to be brutally tortured to death like in the original.

[@burnneblograv46]

[@Josh-99]

I have spoken words very similar to this when I was an officer in the Navy. I was always ultimately responsible for the mistakes of the men in my Division, as any failings could be attributed to lack of training, lack of supervision, or ineffective procedures and processes -- all of which were my own responsibility. I never yelled at or punished anyone who immediately and honestly reported any mistakes, and I gave my men latitude to make mistakes since, as I used to say, "There is no screw-up that I can't fix as long as nobody got hurt." I loved my job in the Navy, but I was a bad fit for the Navy itself. It's not in my nature to blindly follow orders, which is not a good quality in the military.

[@Merumya]

you were in the wrong military then. should've been to germany. we dont give "orders" to blindly follow, but rather "assignements". You arent just supposed, but encoured to think for yourself how to get the best result.

[@brockczekalski9894]

@@Merumya I would hope the germans, whose last wartime actions were rather upsetting to say the absolute bare minimum, would have learned not to blindly follow orders.

[@Merumya]

@@brockczekalski9894 Im not sure if you misunderstood my comment...? I think I made clear, that we, in fact, do NOT blindly follow "orders". We rather give out assignments and the individual soldier is encouraged to execute them in a way they deem most appropriate. example: we dont tell them "dig a 2x2 hole right here" instead: "this is your place in the defense line. dig a hole/fortify it." he is then expected to dig a hole, fortify it, camouflage it etc. etc. whatever he can think of. he is encouraged to think for himself. also: all soldiers get training in law etc., one of the lessons is about orders. when do you HAVE TO follow them, when do you are ALLOWED to follow them and - last but not least - when you are NOT allowed to follow an order. you got that? we get taught about orders we are not allowed to follow. those include, for example, violations of human rights or geneva convention. if you, for example, follow an order to shoot a POW (which isnt allowed by geneva convention) YOU will be held responsible, along with the superior who gave that order. there is no "i was just following orders" excuse.

[@brockczekalski9894]

@@Merumya Apologies allow me to be perfetly clear since the joke I made went right over your head. WW2, the Nazi Regime, German involvement in the holocaust. "I would certainly hope the Germans learned from their history" Does that clarify the point I was making to you sufficiently for you to no longer require exposition?

[@Merumya]

@@brockczekalski9894 without any tone of voice, being unable to see a facial expression, its not really easy to tell someone is joking. look at your own comment again and see how it feels/sounds to someone totally unaware that you may be joking. also: WW2 isnt much of a joking matter, so a joke isnt the first thing that comes to mind.

[@fluidicrift]

The best part about this is that Albedo ends up growing as a character because of this interaction understanding not to underestimate humans especially when it comes to Renner in the future being a human that converted to demon as a reward under her. Ainz shows them that Nazarick can only rule through being loved and coveted. He made moves like founding an adventurer's guild, recruiting dwarves, trolls, ogres and even the village in the first season. His carrot and stick works marvelously and the guardians all agree that despite all life besides their own being inferior they cannot disagree that ruling over people is more rewarding than outright extermination which is why Ainz loves giving the elf twins pets, Cocytus the Lizard men and making Sebas the administrator for the city they were given by Re-estize. The guardians are in awe that even inferior beings "love" Ainz and they covet that ability to make other beings love them too.

@@yumri4 While I am late on the comment train, I can add. Funimation tends to simuldub their big anime titles. When they do this, they will dub over each episode as it comes out, and sometimes, be given the episode early so they can dub it over faster. This speeds up the release schedule for not only the dub, but English physical release. While practical, it is costly, as it involves pulling VAs in about every week, and having them on hold until the show is fully dubbed. So only big titles will get this treatment.
