[@billcipher147]

It gets even more ironic when you findout Ainz was seriously considering blowing the whole thing off because Zanac impressed him so much. So serving him his head was quite possibly the worst possible move they could've made.

[@Josh-99]

He was trying to think of another solution beside razing the entire kingdom to the ground without looking weak in front of the Guardians, as his greatest fear is that they will lose faith in him and abandon him. It's why he hadn't ordered the attack yet.

[@crylec6534]

Tbh they couldn't have known and this was desperation.

[@Josh-99]

@@crylec6534 No, they should have known better. Even more galling is that they asked for safety for themselves and their family members, not for anyone else in the kingdom. They were greedy, selfish, and corrupt. They had completely abandoned their responsibilities to their own people. The act of assassinating their own crown prince was abhorrent, but what Ainz found truly unforgivable was the very nature of their request.

[@crylec6534]

@@Josh-99 The kingdom was falling. The weakest enemy trumps most of their men. Are they corrupt for sure, but what good could they do against Ainz, Zanac did his best in a vain effort. At this point the nobles took a gamble to save themselves and their families and they lost.

[@Josh-99]

@@crylec6534 I'm a graduate of the Naval Academy and served as a military officer for 6 years. I say this to set the stage for my response to you: As the people charged with the defense of the kingdom and its citizens, who lived a life of luxury and comfort on the backs of those who did the actual work in return for bearing the weight of Responsibility, you FORM RANKS. You buy whatever time you can, even if it's only minutes or seconds, for the innocent civilians in the city behind you to get to safety, evacuate, or, in the worst of cases, make peace with their fate. What the nobles did here is an act of unforgivable cowardice and dereliction of duty. Zanac understood this; he was preparing for the army to make their final stand. Had that have happened, there was a solid possibility that Ainz would have spared much of the Kingdom, as he was sitting at his field camp contemplating a way to tone down the brutality of the campaign without seeming weak in front of his own Guardians (something not shown in the anime but described in the Light Novel). Zanac's courage and boldness had reached Ainz's humanity, but all that was washed away in an instant by the abhorrent actions of the useless, parasitic, cowardly nobles.

I love how just before Zanac died we see Albedo call him “an inferior creature” or something to that effect, but the moment Ainz showed respect to him, she cradled the head like it was her own child because she gained respect for him too because of Ainz, it’s such a small detail, but I found it pretty cool that they thought of that, like, she could just have it in her hands, or even in one hand, but because Ainz was showing him respect, she cradles the head with care

[@GenericProtagonist7]

​@@3adgamd3rThat wasn't because she respected him, she hates humans, but merely because Ainz respected him she _showed_ him respect due to her loyalty. You can show a single act of respect to someone without actually respecting them as an individual. She would've held animal droppings in her hands like it was gold if Ainz insisted they were important animal droppings.

[@wanderingbufoon]

When Ainz sat down, he didn't sit in a regal way but in a villainous slacker way. This guy was so mad that even his passive didn't activate.

[@wusscake]

He wasn't outwardly angry, but it was more of a simmering kind of anger. The only time Ainz was so angry that his override didn't work was when he was screaming at Lupusregina in the novels.

[@ShadowNetWeaver1]

I also think it was because after speaking with Zanac, Ainz saw how worthy he actually was of his royal blood. To see such an honorable man betrayed in such a way disgusted him.

[@kingcgs5889]

[@zyanidwarfare5634]

[@saw31489]

Sorry to say but no. Ainz was upset because out of everyone he's met, only the prince had ever questioned him and treated him as a person. It was the first time he got to have an actual conversation instead of pretending to be this higher than God figure. There was also honor in his actions of questioning ainz. It was a respect that the prince earned through bravery. "A dauntless man... that must be what true Royalty is like"

[@WB-mn9fv]

Lol, comments like these make me look at Overlord fans a literal Demiurges. Ainz shits and you guys think it's gold XD. Back to your comment, he simply liked the noble and is pissed off at what happened to him.

[@JayUchiha7]

The craziest thing about all of this is that these are high ranking nobles, which means they were present in the throne room when the king himself offered his head as penance for the actions of single foolish nobleman and Albedo denied it! She literally said "Either way, our response to this matter will not change". Yet these fools still thought offering the head of Zanac would gain them salvation. Ainz promised Zanac a gentle death, one of the most merciless gestures Nazarick has to offer and a true sign of respect and not only did these cowards take that away, but they trampled on and disrespected the sanctity of Gazef's armor, a man we all know that Ainz held in the highest regard and truly respected and valued. Essentially they spit in the face of Ainz twice!...... Your suffering is all but assured.

Well those so-called nobles are cowardly idiots after all. Perfectly to kiss anyone’s ass if it meant saving their lives. I doubt any of them were really listening to Albedo. They were probably too busy staring at her body, every so eager to play “grab ass” with her! Besides, they are just the minions here for their prince. And minions aren’t exactly know for brains, now are they? Also, they foolishly assumed that because Ainz looked like a stereotypical monster that he would be happy to see such a revolting display of cold-blooded murder. The humans misjudge him because if the way he looks. As is often the case. Both in the real world and the fictional world.

Shame! As a side note, if I were Ainz, would’ve also told Aura to tell Neouronist: “To use these witless vermin to prepare for me a symphony of sorrow. May a grand orchestra of anguish and despair echo throughout the Great Tomb of Nazarick’s mighty halls! For only with such sweet music, will the fury currently burning within my weary soul be quenched."

I can see why, after all Ains wanted a honor battle, and had good talk literally after the meetings. Maybe Ains would even spared him and offer him a place of the kingdom. TBH that dude deserved not to die

[@thecatwhisperer2820]

Probably not. Simply because Zanac already made up his mind to die with his kingdom with honor. It was why Ainz agreed to be merciful and kill them in a painless manner. After he saw that the one person he finally had an actual heart to heart talk with was killed, he had nothing but contempt for all those nobles and the rest of the kingdom. So even if he would have offered him a place, Zanac's mind was already made up. It would have been in insult to him to offer him a place when he just showed his resolve to die with his kingdom.

[@marvinscheer1028]

But didn't he say that zanac would make a great King someday, i don't think he would have killed him.

[@coltonwilliams4153]

I figured that Ainz would’ve thrashed the army and killed the soldiers out of respect for Zanak’s resolve, but spared the common folk because of how honorable Zanak was. That would’ve been the perfect middle ground for the situation that would’ve appeased Nazarik, and shown that he can be both merciful and not to be trifled with.

It reminds me when Ptolemy of Egypt gave Julius Caesar the head of his rival Pompey who he had assassinated when he fled to Egypt. This was done to win Caesar's favor. Instead, Caesar was disgusted with such treachery of the Pharaoh's court that he eventually sought vengeance and soon allied himself with Cleopatra in ousting Ptolemy. It's amazing how many historical references you can find hidden in this show.

With how disappointed and disillusioned Ainz sounded, they should've picked up on the notion that he wasn't about to spare them from anything. ... Ainz thought he found something in Zanac, that he thought he could never find in any other human: a solid mind, and a kind heart, that beats and cares for the welfare of the Kingdom... And these idiot nobles just killed him. Ainz was pissed, and had every right to be.

[@manuelheredia8316]

[@BigBadDogIV]

That isn't it. The idea was that he wasn't going to break the agreement but he would be willing to let them call off the agreement after enough begging to die. Also the forces of Nazarick's are an extension and representation of Ainz own power so that wouldn't be a legit loophole anyways.

[@thethundernado6670]

The actual loop is that he will make them want to beg for death.

[@WolforNuva]

This is a perfect example of "lawful evil". Ainz upholds his end of the bargain but makes it _worse_ than the fate they wanted to avoid. He only allows them to die when they beg for it, or in other words when they willingly relinquish their reward. The loophole he's abusing is that they just asked to be alive, saying nothing about the quality of that life.

No, his humanity was gone the minute he came to this New World and acquired his Undead body. He was even going to let Carne Village be destroyed till he saw Touch Me in the form of Sebas. Do not spread bullshit by saying he had humanity prior to that. HE NEVER HAD IT

[@samuelvoorhees3982]

This really shows that even though the kingdom was going to be destroyed that he had such a great deal of respect for the prince

[@xtrlsidma]

Indeed he even called Zanac a dauntless man and true royalty

[@edsooy2955]

Him saying we’ll find the families latter was cold…

[@charlesdale4026]

They will all recieve a traitor's death, slow and painful and in despair knowing their families will get the same treatment. I don't really get why anyone would accept their "gift" and take them onto their side. They are honorless cowards who betrayed their leader to save their own skins. I think even most villains would find them repulsive and kill them.

[@coltonwilliams4153]

Most of the successful conquerors in history, like Alexander, Genghis Khan, and Cao Cao, rewarded people like these nobles with a sword through their ribs. You’re right, they showed that they couldn’t be trusted farther than a hobbit could throw a dwarf with this stunt. The only appropriate response is immediate execution.

[@darkcarnage9188]

the nobles waht what ainz-sama said " reward for the work the did" they were scum and be rewarded as such. you betrayed the one who you prior swore loytaly to, you think ainz going to trust you at all? nope and more so you killed someone he respected so now they will all suffer for it.

0:41 "splendid job all of you." The sarcasm is palpable. Personally I didn't like Zanack but like Ainz I enjoyed the talks they had at the table honestly tye nobles got what they deserved.

[@tek512]

Ainz doesn't get angry very often, but *this* infuriated him. He had nothing but respect for the former owner of that head.

God, Chris Guerrero is so fucking good.

[@ryanranga8484]

They should've done that sooner lol. They waited too late and did it after ains found respect for the prince

[@RS-ek9dr]

Well, they would still be traitors no?

It wouldn't matter, would you accept the allegiance of people who betrayed their prince to save their own skins, I wouldn't.

This is my favorite thing because it shows the cruelty of humanity they’re willing to kill someone just so they won’t die for what they believe in

Overlord's sub and dub are fantastic but Ainz's dub VA is the best, couldn't find a better dub VA for bone daddy

Strange How His Emotions Weren’t Neutralized Like Usual, Guess It Doesn’t Work On Silent Fury

[@icecold101jr]

That last line was so chilling 😰

[@rubatron1]

After just reading this scene in the LN, my favourite part is, after saying he'll spare the nobles and send them to Neuronist, one of them mentions their families and Ainz says "Them too? Well, you talked me into it." Man was just having fun tormenting them

[@niceguyofgames9490]

Something tells me that, if they did anything to his armor, their fates would have been SO much worse.

[@stephanielesser2900]

The best line of him is for real: 'As requested, I won't kill you.' It's a clear statement, that he has other plans for these wretched ones.

[@cjwerner641]

I can't wait to see his fury unleashed. Doesn't have a reason to hold back anymore.

[@opo3628]

He wasn't going to hold back to begin with.

[@bemusedbandersnatch2069]

We already have though? Foresight managed to royally piss him off by lying to him and that dark aura was something else before the suppression kicked in. He kinda forgave them when he came back online because admittedly he was about to kill them and they had no way of knowing just what a sore spot that was.

[@xedor993]

The one thing people should fear above all else when it comes to Ainz, its not his anger. Its his disappointement. When you anger him, he would take care of you himself. Should you disappoint him... he will stop caring. He will let the members of Nazarick handle matters. Him letting his denizens cover this without any hindrance is the worst punishment he can give to someone. And just like it was stated before, within the temple of Nazarick, death is biggest mercy one could receive.

[@GamerMACProMC]

Can’t stop watching this over lord anime it’s really amazing especially in both Dub and Sub!

Good lord, I like the sub, but Ainz's Dub voice just hits different.

Ainz sure keeps his promises.

[@baronbrummbar8691]

as he sayed in s1 "i am a terrible Hypokrit"

[@kelseywilliams8026]

God dude, Chris Guerrero is so good as Ainz, I knew he was good from little I saw him in DBZ Abridged, but seeing him in an actual dub just reminds of how good he does.

[@AzraelWolf-vr4ku]

Princess Renner: I tried to warn my brother not to be friendly with the nobles.

[@gameuniverse5973]

Huh the dub actually mentioned the family part of the ln unlike the sub i think this is one of only times where the dub is more accurate to the source material

The Overlord cast is just SO COOL.

[@ethancobabe2420]

Somehow he seems more pissed than when Shalltear got brainwashed in season 1.

[@coltonwilliams4153]

There, he was trying to figure out how it happened, and how to fix it. Here, he knew how it happened, why it happened, and that there was no fixing it, so he just wanted them out of his face.

[@wusscake]

You should've read the light novel where Lupusregina almost let the potion maker die. Ainz screamed at her so badly, the override didn't work immediately, and when it finally did, she was visibly shaking out of fear and shame.

[@illidangraham2725]

I love coolers voice actor hahaha

[@bobby5enpai]

The respect him and the prince shared over a cup of water really builds up to how angry he was. Even if they battled and the prince lost, I feel like ainze would've still given him a proper burial. Because of the actions they took to save themselves, ainz didn't want to save anyone. He was done with the whole rotten lot.

[@greenpegatrix3773]

You can hear the anger in his voice in that last part.

[@phantomwraith1984]

The longer he stays in the new world, the more of his old humanity he loses

Yuuuuup. He made the jump from Abridged VA to paid VA a long while ago.

Yeah

[@MisterFister612]

hes also Cooler in DBZA.

[@doofers5003]

Yep

[@Christian-ir9kq]

He also plays Ainz in the abridged version too funnily enough

[@christianlecroy980]

If you didn't catch what he said he mentioned the name of the torturer of nazerick. So...all that

[@mateocolegial5571]

*BEST STUFF EVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEER!!!*

[@Nephalem2002]

This is precisely what the nobles deserve.

[@thethundernado6670]

To reference something Ainz said to the Workers in season 3, death is not a punishment but an act of kindness. To relieve someone from true terror and suffering. Those nobles were not going to survive no matter what happened. But if they would’ve stayed and fought, they probably would have a much faster death. By killing their prince and robbing Ainz the glory of killing him, they ensured that their deaths will be long and painful.

[@toomanyaccounts]

Ainz after talking to the Prince was considering calling off the annihilation and making the kingdom a vassal state. The killing of the prince just made Ainz even more determined to carrying out the annihilation plan

[@ilyashiz]

Man, you can really hear voices of both Gero and Cooler in Ainz, cant believe he also voices Gecko Moria

[@PaladinGear15]

When people say "Well he has no emotions, that's what makes him a great leader, cold and calculating" I think (as someone who's seen the VN's too) "do you even watch this show?

You hear Ainz. I hear monsieur Cooler.
