The prince older brother was that dude in S3 that led an army to attack the Goblin village, and the ENRI summoned her army of goblins and basically crushed him... If I recall correctly, the Red Cap goblin squad snuck up on them and assassinated the older prince.

The other thing about drinking the water is that it could have been poisoned. But he drank it all basically saying that he trusted Ains

[@YaBoyRockLee]

Truth

[@SatanicWren]

Less that he trusted him, and more that he respected him enough to know that Ainz had no reason to resort to such a tactic, so little reason that it probably hadnt even crossed his mind. It wasnt completely spelled out, but Zanac spent his final moments wishing he was as worthy if being called a king as Ainz

[@-Miasimon]

Could also be that he was going to die anyways and already accepted it. Either way, the dude was probably the most respectable person to come out of that royal family.

[@theannualantagonist5930]

@@SatanicWren I saw this too as a sign of respect to Ainz as a fellow King. Being able to do the hardest choices (wagging war for his people) for their happiness.

No matter the price, I would’ve loved to see Zanac grow the Kingdom… truly a shame…..

[@drmythbusters]

What stings the most is that is that in any other life, Zanac would've made a good king. Not a great one, but a good one. He was smart, but not smart enough. In the novel version of this arc, there's an artbook page for his character, and at the bottom was a note left by the author: "His elder brother was destined for the throne, so his position in the royal family was never very secure. Few nobles supported him, and he had close ties to almost no one in the palace. Yet he never let that stop him from devoting his energy to safeguarding the future of the crown. If he, Renner, Raeven, and Gazef had worked together, they could've fended off the Empire and made the kingdom strong again. That might sound impossible, but if Nazarick had not appeared and Barbro (the original heir) had died before his coronation, that was what would have come to pass." RIP my homie, he went down swinging.

[@thecrimsondragon2379]

Can confirm. I respect the man for going down swinging.

[@mhan00]

Yep, smart enough to know his own limitations and recognized the value of working with Raevan and recognized his sister’s terrifying genius. He was also pragmatic enough to use the strength of Gazef along with Renner’s genius to cull the Nobles of the corrupt and incompetent like Jircniv did, which his father was too kind hearted to do. Commoners suffered greatly in the Kingdom at the whims of corrupt nobles and an underworld that grew insanely strong during Rampossa’s rule. Gazef by himself was stronger than the rest of the military combined (with the Kingdom treasures that removed fatigue and the armor and sword), and with Renner’s genius and Raevan’s savvy Rampossa could have pulled his own Bloody Emperor move and his Kingdom would have been far better off for it. Zanac actually could have done it.

[@dansweryt6976]

Zanac deserved to know he could've been a better King than any of them, he just wanted the best for the Kingdom yet he even feels inferior against prince Barbro. He's not as affectionate as the King, he's smarter than Babro, kinder than Renner.

[@Sassaparilla]

Complacent is a better term in the regard of the King. Zanac was the closest to Jircniv that Re-Estize had. Maybe not as smart, but given the time, he would've likely been able to whip the kingdom into shape.

[@rahn45]

If someone was looking at the developing conflict from the outside in, it's extremely hard to take the side of the Kingdom. The Sorcerer Kingdom and the Re-Estize Kingdom had a neutral to friendly relationship, as the Kingdom was allowing relief aid from the Sorcerer Kingdom to travel through it to the Holy Kingdom. Yet despite the agreement you had nobles from the Re-Estize Kingdom attack one of those relief aid convoys, steal the supplies; then blamed the Sorcerer Kingdom itself for orchestrating the attack. Not only that the Re-Estize kingdom goes out of its way to protect the noble that launched the attack in the first place. Then on the eve of battle, the nobles decide to betray and backstab a member of the Royal Family in an effort to buy their lives. Probably wouldn't be unreasonable to think the Re-Estize kingdom full of backstabbers, thieves, and traitors.

Neuronist is the fat lady slime that tortured the adventurers in season 3. She tortured one of them using a spiked catheter, since that inflicted the same pain her creator had suffered (gallstones). In the visual novel, the one noble whispered "what about our families", Ainz heard him and told Albedo to track down their families and send them to Neuronist as well. Some of the torture methods not mentioned include flaying their skin for resources, cutting their organs out and feeding them to the other victims, and implanting them with eggs and letting them hatch inside, turning them into "nests."

[@bigbrain8138]

It reminds me of The Secret History of the Mongols. Jamukha was a Mongol military and political leader and the chief rival to Temüjin (later Genghis Khan) in the unification of the Mongol tribes. Also Jamukha was an anda ("childhood friend") and a blood brother to Temüjin. They were good friends, but they had their own responsibilities to their sub-tribes. In fall of 1201, a great battle broke out between Jamukha's alliance and the Khereit-Khamag Mongol alliance (Temujin's alliance) at the Ergune valley. This decisive battle, known as the Battle of the Thirteen sides, ended with Temujin's victory and eventual ascension as Khan of all united Mongol tribes. Jamukha was eventually betrayed to Temüjin by his followers in 1206. Temüjin executed Jamukha's betrayers on the principle that betrayal merits the harshest punishment. The Secret History of the Mongols states that Temüjin offered renewal of their brotherhood, but Jamukha insisted that just as there was room for only one sun in the sky, there was room only for one Mongol lord. He asked to be executed by dying a noble death without the spilling of blood. His request was granted by having his back broken by Temüjin's soldiers. It is said that Temujin buried Jamukha in the golden belt that he had given to Jamukha when they formed their bond of brotherhood.

23:10 Its just my personal opinion, I don't think Ainz thinks the Guardians will betray him if he tells them everything, its just he doesn't want them to see himself as a Weak & not that smart leader as smart they consider him. The Guardians have the utmost respect & loyalty towards all the 41 supreme beings(kind of the gods of guardians) who created them including Ainz & those people chose Ainz to be their guild's leader so technically if Ainz shows any kind of weakness then it would mean all those 41 supreme beings were not that smart to chose Ainz as their leader.

My favorite overlord pass time. Watching other people's reactions after watching the episode

[@justice32legends]

Did y'all notice the chubby found his water tasty in moments before heading towards his doom. Or so I'd have said, had he not literally won over my heart, dammit!

[@xenocore01]

This episode highlights the Rules of Power. Excellent episode.

[@willanrac]

This was my favorite episode so far in the series. I didnt really have an opinion for the prince until this episode. Damn.

[@VincentVBR]

Neuronist is the blue slime thing from the torture scene in season 3 that had the little "kidney stone device" with the guy strapped to the wall. So yeah going there is a very bad thing death much better.

[@artimusprimeutube]

Take note from last episode, Negrido stood up and yelled in Ains face and he did nothing. She "may" be stronger than you think/know.

[@12MYCRYL17]

Humble Leads by example Willing to fight even against certain death A gentleman And calls out Ains of his actions to the point where even Ains respects him You a G, Zanac.

[@01hazerd]

Zanac didn't have the combat experience as his brother and he knew it, so he knew he was gonna die when they showed up to his tent.... he still went out swinging. Lakyous's uncle is at a lower level then they are... its his suit that powers him up, even though he's at a low level and has a low HP bar.

[@4c3fr3h1y]

Honestly if they came to him with different ideas he'd be extremely pleased, bc his best trait was mediating between the wildly disparate ideas of his guild mates when Ainz Ooal Gown (the guild) was still active.

[@kamikyo]

Ainz knows he could do or say whatever and the rest of the guardians would do what he said. He's afraid, though, of messing up their careful plans and being a bad boss who overrides his subordinates who know better. Very much salaryman/corporate worker thinking.

[@John_Souls]

Man, I can't believe that they get me to be unironically mad and annoyed at death of a character, I don't give a damn episode before. This is some kind of gods writing. If he would die in previous episode, like Albedo killed him in that court, I would not even blink. But after he died in this episode, I was pissed not less than Ainz. They we're able to made such a gap in character in one, 20 minutes episode. Insane.

[@derwynsharp5866]

Neuronist, Ains sent to the people to, was the one who tortured that one guy using the instrument to reenact kidney stone feelings. I also knew that anytime I like a human in this show, they will die. I knew that this guy was going to die once that meeting concluded because I really liked his character.

[@RocketMonke69420]

23:09 I see. Personally I think Ainz just wants to please all the people from Nazarick like a mother likes to see her child in joy.

[@KatsuhiroHebi]

Marquees Raeven is not a first name last name.... Marquess is a old french title of nobility. so his noble title is Marquess. pronounced Mark-Key, and his surname (likely) is Raeven. great video, btw!!

[@ShaquilleYT]

Ainz isn't worried about betrayal since they are program to be loyal to him and the other supreme beings, the only way to have the guardians to go against him is to use mind control which is almost impossible without a World Item and since the shaltear incident Ainz took precautions against that.

[@AndragonLea]

Man, that prince tried so hard, too. He made the best decisions possible, got screwed over by a subordinate who was too stupid to find his arse with both hands and a map, tried to appease the enemy after said subordinate provoked them, raised an army to prepare for the worst case, negotiated one last time and only resolved to fight after finding out that the enemy was determined to destroy them. Those nobles weren't worthy to polish his shoes, much less kill him to buy their own worthless lives.

[@fredesca8648]

The reason for Ainz refusing the kingdom's surrender is because of what Philip's action represents; that the kingdom, despite the lose they experienced at the hands of Ainz, will continue to resist regardless.

[@johnkonig865]

Nah, that would be great if it was true, but he just didn't want to go directly against the NPC's interpretation of his wishes as that would create all kinds of questions. Besides, a squad of death knights could keep even the greatest nobles of the kingdom from rebelling, so he really wouldn't need much force to keep things in order, no matter how hard they try to resist.

[@AJT1289]

I was sad when the prince died in the novels...the way they made him out to be in the earlier seasons made me feel like he was manipulative, can't be trusted, and just out for power and the thrown...but after his death, I really missed the guy...he a real one

[@dishantithomas4198]

Two things can be true at the same time. He was/is all those things but he is also a good guy who just wanted the best for his kingdom kinda like danzo from Naruto but alot more likeable

[@AJT1289]

@@dishantithomas4198 yea...Danzo though I still can't mess with like that though

[@dishantithomas4198]

@@AJT1289 yeah I agree, but I also think it has a lot to do with how the anime is directed. For example zanac literally is confirmed to have some a coup d'etat and it's treated like no big deal

i saw the trailer and i was going nuts cos i saw clementine walking into a room .... bt it turned out to be clementines brother i feel so baited and cheated i thought they had changed the story from the light novel

[@isaiascanete6651]

AAAAAAAAAAH that's why his design was ringing so hard in my mind, he is best girl's niisan

[@aminiqmal2186]

Ain can bring him back but the pain for human to being back alive are brutal. Even the lizardmen experience a lot of pain to back alive.

[@Phantanos]

He avenged the last true king. Just like Alexander the Great did for the last king of Persia. He gave the traitors a very fitting reward for the deed.

[@cordiroybear]

What's sad is in the manga he almost convinced Ains to call it off, the nobles literally put a stop to that. Zanac deserved better.

[@Lowdian]

You mean in the light novel. The manga is way behind the anime at this point.

[@Joker97131]

I like how in this context, all the denizens of Nazerick want to completely annihilate the Re-Estize Kingdom but Ainz isn't. It seems like just how all the NPCs willingly serve Ainz as his servants, Ainz also is a servant to all of Nazerick. He doesn't want this but the majority do, so he can't completely say no to it.

[@NickyTannock]

This moment made me respect Zanac.

[@AlbionOfAvalon55]

the moment they presented the head Ainz was appalled the lengths this nobles will do just to save their own asses and their family... reward fits the deeds am i right

[@echviesplays4457]

15:02 after listening this line just one name came to my mind and it was EREN YEAGER TATAKAE 🔥

[@babytacprimo]

No one notice the meaning of ainz saying happiness....the way of MMORPG game where you need to crush other guild and vice versa... He referred it's the enjoyment of playing MMO with his guild.... That's why at the start he said to the king let's enjoy the process... At first ainz what to enjoy it as a pvp guildwar setting but he just be a commander like a strategic game so that it will give the kingdom a little bit of a leverage... But after the prince death.. he lost the will to enjoy it so he decided to just end it fast

[@crispford]

We can't blame ainz from bieng evil i mean hes not human anymore hes undead. Evil aligned. He was aware he was human but hes character affets hes decisions..

[@babytacprimo]

@@crispford yeah... The avatar settings affect him... And as a gamer I can feel his desire to go pvp... I mean it's an MMO... The flexing of skill is standard and sometimes hurt others.... That's what he really mean by seeking happiness in the game

Isn't it a classic trick: Vampires can hypnotize you by looking you in the eyes.

[@dauntless3899]

Yall expressions when the nobles came marching towards ainz's camp. I was literally praying 'please not his head' that time. Sigh Oh well.. let's just look forward for Neuronist

[@hhound4283]

Collector Ains still has his eye on that sword Gazef had and that's not good for Brain's life expectancy. Dante's Inferno relegated betrayers to the lowest level of Hell which in his power means Neuronist. The additional instructions Ains gave Aura means those nobles will experience the depths of Hell in Nazarick. Neuronist? Remember the Green tentacled torturer from season 3 episode 7? Hint: Spikey catheter?

[@WolfpiperFL]

Those dudes about to play kidney stone simulator with Neuronist.

[@StoneTitan]

Regarding why 1 hair strip is a different color. My guess is it's red and it's why his team is called "Red Drop"

[@kushxiro620]

Great reaction and discussion as always. For Lee to take this episode as his best one yet truly shows that he understand the message behind it. Sasuga Rock D Lee -sama👀

[@N0thing2SeaHere]

Neuronist was the one that looked like a human octopus hybrid that shoved a spiky rod up the guy's you know what back when the workers invaded Ainz's tomb.

[@NewBeginnings224]

"Spared them from dying" lmao, in an earlier season Ainz says how death is a mercy that frees you from suffering, also, "Neuronist" is Nazaricks torturer, Neuronist Painkill. So for Ainz, killing doesnt matter too much, but make him made, he will make sure you wont die to endure the most suffering possible. Death would be mercy

[@YaBoyRockLee]

Thanks

[@mastertex3229]

Neuronist was the green octopus looking “girl?” That is the torturer of Nazarick, we saw “her?” In the third season when those adventurers broke into Nazarick
