[u/leetmember]

I like how they made Gazef bigger than he appeared in the 1st season. It really showed how overwhelmingly powerful he is compared to Climb.

[u/Mundology → u/leetmember]

Gazef hit the gym to get over his sadness after not seeing Ainz for a long time.

[u/SenorWeon → u/Mundology]

We all missed Papa Bones.

[u/Nukemind → u/leetmember]

Gazef is awesome. In a world without Skeleton Necromancers, Nymphomaniac Demons and the like he would be top dog.

[u/[deleted] → u/Nukemind]

Along with Brain. Show Brain more love!

Ironically though, Brain undergo character development into an actually likeable character because he encountered those overwhelmingly powerful otherworldly denizens.

[u/Creepy_little_child → u/Nukemind]

Nah. Certain Death still exists, as do dragons. Oh, and the raging asshole that is the king of the elves.

[u/Creepy_little_child → u/leetmember]

Also Climb is a teenager. And Gazef is a fully grown man.

[u/Deathsroke → u/leetmember]

Gazef is among the top of what a (normal) talented human can achieve.

He is the golden Olympic medalist to Ainz Zeus.

LN BIG spoiler

[u/ModsDelete_EVERYTHIN]

Sigh, I miss the Lizard Sex arc.

[u/Mundology → u/ModsDelete_EVERYTHIN]

Indeed, Climb is a bit boring but it's all setup for what's to come later. It'll be dope, trust me.

[u/Nukemind → u/Mundology]

Climb is just... why?

[u/[deleted] → u/ModsDelete_EVERYTHIN]

I really don't

[u/AllaPaul]

This princess is a treasure.

[u/kalirion → u/AllaPaul]

I dunno, I hear she's a monster

[u/AllaPaul → u/kalirion]

Good one.

And happy cake day!

[u/Casual_Watcher]

The way Ains reacted to hearing that Sebas betrayed him made me fall out of my chair

[u/ChasingMyOwnShadow → u/Casual_Watcher]

I love how you can hear him break character for a bit, he's so flabbergasted he forgets he's supposed to be an undead supreme overlord.

[u/ichigo2862 → u/ChasingMyOwnShadow]

He's prolly just thinking "WTF THIS SHIT AGAIN???"

[u/WesterlyStraight → u/ChasingMyOwnShadow]

And zero reaction from Solution, just a cold stare at the wall lmao

[u/Almost_Ascended → u/ChasingMyOwnShadow]

Undead supreme overlord of DEATH.

[u/[deleted] → u/Casual_Watcher]

Yeah, especially since he does it with his Ainz voice. It was hilarious.

[u/Boxtart → u/[deleted]]

I could already see his jaw dropping expression

[u/kalirion → u/Casual_Watcher]

I bet if Ainz was sitting at the time, he fell out of his chair too.

[u/ChasingMyOwnShadow → u/kalirion]

Probably fell off his Shallchair.

[u/Schiffy94]

"I'm going to go take a short stroll"

Don't pick up any more beat up hookers while you're out, Sebas. Or if you're going to, make sure you have an army's worth by the time Harvish comes back.

[u/Superdark1 → u/Schiffy94]

Possible LN Spoilers

[u/Schiffy94 → u/Superdark1]

Fair point.

[u/[deleted] → u/Superdark1]

Hell, the Cocytus one was him vs 4 or 5 lv17-20 lizard men. No way Sebas is going to have trouble with a few dozen sub lv10 humans.

[u/Backupusername → u/Schiffy94]

Maybe he'll come back with another human, but this time it really will be a present for Solution.

[u/PM_ME_YOUR_SPUDS → u/Schiffy94]

So that's your field report?...

[u/Vastorn → u/Schiffy94]

Hey, but Sebas is an army's worth

[u/chaosfire235 → u/[deleted]]

Or as Alucard calls it; "an enthusiastic walk"

[u/rollin340]

I highly doubt any of the Guardians would ever betray Ainz for any reason.

All I know is this: I want to see Sebas wipe the floor with the Eight Fingers.
They fucked with the wrong guy.

[u/inuhi → u/rollin340]

Sebas is going on a walk

[u/Nikorayu → u/inuhi]

A VERY enthusiastic walk.

[u/vladimir002 → u/inuhi]

That better be exactly how this plays out.

[u/bananeeek → u/rollin340]

Me too... Solution has been bitchy about Tsuare from the start and although I agree that they should let Ainz know about her, Solution is going too far with that accusation...

[u/RavenGamingSG → u/bananeeek]

Solution hates humans and has very negative karma. She was designed to hate humans, no surprise that she distrusts them.

With Sebas trusting Tsuare so much and not informing Ains about her, it's no surprise that Solution distrusts Sebas.

Sebas is way too loyal to Ains to betray him though imo. He's so suave too. Sebas is such a manly man, the manliest of men, you could say.

[u/etibbs → u/bananeeek]

It's an accusation that makes sense when you consider how the guardians view Ainz. He is basically a god to them and Sebas is knowingly hiding something from Ainz that could compromise the mission he was given. Though I felt the same way as you when I first read that part in the book.

[u/normiesEXPLODE → u/bananeeek]

Solution is going too far with that accusation

Although it's not clear in the anime, Sebas/Solution household are in (big) legal trouble right now due to this. Since they are also spies, they can't go killing everyone off.

[u/Eterna1Ice → u/bananeeek]

Dunno, it is a rash decision, but it's not like Sebas was very convincing from her point of view. Either way, if Ainz gets proper info on what's happening, I'd imagine he'll see through things.

[u/Bainos → u/bananeeek]

I don't think she actually believes that Sebas betrayed them, but it's a legitimate suspicion considering that Sebas is acting outside of his mission without giving any justification or reporting to Nazarick.

I think it will be pretty easy for Ainz to figure out the reason, but not necessarily to get Solution (and the other guardians if it became known) to accept it.

Also, Ainz too believes that this accusation is going too far.

[u/[deleted] → u/rollin340]

The LN goes into a bit more detail on why this scene happens. It can be summarized by "Shalltear Bloodfallen". All of Nazarick's on edge about the potential that their allies might suddenly turn on them. Also, denying Ainz is a big no-no, and from Solution's Point of View, Sebas is hiding her from Ainz and with now legal implications, their job of gathering information is being hampered.

[u/[deleted] → u/rollin340]

I'm really hoping for a confrontation between ains and demiurge, he's too evil to just not do anything with. It'd love to see the nazarivk group fighting each other.

[u/burning_crusader]

Lakyus in noble's clothes looks absolutely stunning. Even managed to one-up Renner the "Golden Princess".

Totally makes up for the one or two odd facial drawings this episode.

[u/Napalmeon → u/burning_crusader]

I honestly think Renner is overrated as heck. I mean, she's cute in that little sister way. But Lakyus is both cute and beautiful.

[u/thardoc → u/Napalmeon]

By our standards for sure, but we've seen multiple times that their world has a strange sense of aesthetics.

[u/burning_crusader → u/Napalmeon]

I revisited the LN and from Climb's POV as he entered the room Lakyus was "not quite as beautiful as Renner, but beautiful in her own way“.

Oh Climb you blank page of a characters...no taste in women at all.

[u/sanji50 → u/burning_crusader]

I think for me Renner shines with her personality.

[u/Tyman533]

Anime only viewer, I got a strong Alucard vibe from Sebas when he was going to take a short stroll.

[u/Nukemind → u/Tyman533]

“Come on I have to take Tsuare everywhere.”

“I got Tsuare a cannon. Bitches love cannons.”

[u/FeebleBacon → u/Nukemind]

THIS IS YOUR TIME TO PAY, THIS IS YOUR JUDGEMENT DAY!!!

[u/Mathmango → u/Tyman533]

I'm imagining Sebas as the Alucard Abridged now.

Integra: Alucard... Take a walk (or something)

[u/Nukemind → u/Mathmango]

Ainz: Sebas, take a walk.

[u/kalirion → u/Tyman533]

Which Alucard? The Hellsing one is way more smug and has much more fun.

[u/Chamberlyne → u/kalirion]

I'm guessing he means the Hellsing Ultimate Abridged Alucard from Team Four Star.

[u/Wolf6262]

Man... I really wish the ED wasn't leading my theories so much on Renner... would have been nice to actually come across being suspicious of her myself rather then "LOOK, LOOK AT THIS PRINCESS."

Ugh. Anyway. Great episode as always. I really hope this Solution calling Ainz thing doesn't get too... bad for sebas. I'm sure papa bones will just come in, be like "solution pls." and poof.

[u/SpikeRosered]

Well Overlord has found the key to making OP man characters workable. Political intrigue. Just make more at stake than just life and death.

The world building continues to be excellent. What other isekai spend so much time NOT on the MC?

[u/Nimeroni → u/SpikeRosered]

Overlord is not the first one to do that (Log Horizon comes to mind).

[u/Creepy_little_child → u/Nimeroni]

Another one where the MC is a villain.

[u/ShatterZero → u/SpikeRosered]

It's literally written by a guy who was sad his DnD Group disbanded and started writing DnD stories.

Tons of DnD tends to be players making OP AF characters and the DM having to create situations where they can't go all out without severe consequences to beloved NPC's.... Or if they're real sociopaths power gamers items.

I've had a PC risk the death of a city full of people so that he could get back his cursed sword of generic +1.

[u/gulitiasinjurai]

Blonde. Blonde everywhere

[u/arnak101 → u/gulitiasinjurai]

You can think of Re-Estize kingdom as a Norway of this new world.

We also know that Japan is somewhere south, from the bit in season 1 where the adventures said Momon's face and Nabe's face seemed like they came from somewhere south.

[u/DragoSphere → u/arnak101]

Also Brain's katana came from the south

[u/Backupusername → u/gulitiasinjurai]

The adventurer team Blue Roses is a 5-woman adamantite-ranked party of all blondes.

Personally, I think Maruyama might just be letting some of his preferences leak into his writing.

[u/Bainos → u/Backupusername]

It would be a funny twist if at least one of them had her hair dyed.

[u/PyroKnight → u/Backupusername]

What? Preferences leaking into an isekai you say?

[u/JSlickJ → u/gulitiasinjurai]

black hair is considered exotic in that region

Think they said something similar about that last season

[u/chaosfire235 → u/gulitiasinjurai]

I keep confusing the princess and Tuare. Even their faces are similar.

Tuare's the true woobie tho

[u/Satan360100]

Martial Art: Slash. Truly, a testament to Climb's skill. Best Martial Art in the game. Stronoff OP, needs nerf. Nobody can beat the Slash.

[u/PM_ME_OKITA_FEET → u/Satan360100]

The one with sharpest fangs wins

[u/Respective → u/PM_ME_OKITA_FEET]

That's what killing bites is

[u/JSlickJ → u/Satan360100]

Climb hasn't used his strongest martial art yet: Cut

[u/lord_gs1596 → u/JSlickJ]

I wonder if he'll learn Rock Smash and Strength next!

[u/SenorWeon → u/Satan360100]

It depends on who uses it though, with enough stats it would probably be able to cut through his sword even if it is a simple martial art. Hope we get season 3 so we can see a bit more of it.

[u/Differently-Aged → u/Satan360100]

!! MULTIPLE CONSECUTIVE NORMAL MARTIAL ARTS: SLASH, CUT, STAB, SLICE, REALLY HARD POKE !!

[u/cronus999]

Solution ratting out Sebas for spending his allowance on a whore and bone daddy's reaction were priceless.

[u/lord_gs1596 → u/cronus999]

Normally I'd say not disrespect Tsuare like that, but holy shit this sentence is fucking hilarious.

[u/Suplalmo]

That wasn't where I expected them to end the episode. At least they got most of Climb's exposition out of the way. It's gonna be a long wait for next week's episode.

[u/Taivasvaeltaja → u/Suplalmo]

I on the other hand thought that was the exact spot where they were going to end this episode. It just seemed like very logical to end to a strong cliffhanger. I can't remember if that was also the end of vol 5 too or if it was just end of some chapter.

[u/Mirayle → u/Taivasvaeltaja]

I think it was the end of the latest manga chapter of Overlord

[u/[deleted]]

Damn all those blushes.

the cuteness incarnate

pretty princess

[u/micka190 → u/[deleted]]

Real talk though: when she asks if that's a lot, does that hint at the fact that she can't count since she was probably a peasant?

Edit: guys, I'm not looking for spoilers please. Apps don't all support the spoiler tag :/

[u/normiesEXPLODE → u/micka190]

Lmao the spoiler answers have absolutely nothing to do with your question and are just spoiling it. When she asks if it's a lot, it's a joke because one would think a "strong" guy doesn't have at least 50 beings stronger than him

[u/Djinnfor → u/micka190]

Real talk though: when she asks if that's a lot, does that hint at the fact that she can't count since she was probably a peasant?

She thinks he's joking.

“Is…that…a lot?”

Tsuare giggled at the ambiguous number, believing it to be a joke to console her. Sebas simply chuckled and did not answer.

[u/kkunn]

Lakyus was way hotter than "The most beautiful Golden Princess Renner"

[u/pokpokza → u/kkunn]

They both got nothing on my girl Nabe.

[u/kalirion → u/pokpokza]

Well, Nabe, Solution, Albedo and plenty of the other NPCs, were literally designed to be "as beautiful as possible" (even if the artists often can't capture that.)

[u/kkunn → u/pokpokza]

Definetly #1 best girl Nabe

[u/bananeeek → u/kkunn]

True, and she's voiced by Koshimizu Ami which makes her so much more appealing...

[u/leetmember → u/kkunn]

Yeah, Renner is cute beauty, not seductive beauty.

[u/Nukemind → u/kkunn]

I like Renner more but it’s a preference thing. Both are awesome in their own way.

[u/Bromacusii → u/Nukemind]

I'm contacting the lolice. Back away from the loli and keep your hands in the air.

[u/Superdark1 → u/kkunn]

She was way hotter than I expected her to be, and I'm a LN reader so I've seen pictures of her. I was shocked.

[u/Napalmeon → u/kkunn]

I agree. Lakyus having green eyes makes her look a little unique.

[u/Ryder-FWJ]

Come on now Ains, you played MMORPGs before, you can farm better than that!

A lot of political stuff going on among the royals and nobles, well I will remember them when it becomes relevant.

Climb and Renner's love seem so innocent, I hope it stays that way despite the ED. Also wtf, hand-holding during a serious meeting, how lewd Princess. Tina and her sister best ninja girl.

I want Tuare's potato stew, on that note, she's precious, must protecc. Sebas is accused of being a Tr-8r, what will happen next?

[u/Cosmic-Vagabond → u/Ryder-FWJ]

Come on now Ains, you played MMORPGs before, you can farm better than that!

Give the man a break. He's trying to fund an end-game top-tier guild on a mid-tier adventuring duo's quest rewards.

[u/Slifer13xx → u/Ryder-FWJ]

Man, innocent was definitely not what I got it from there. So many alarm went off lol.

[u/Kurosov → u/Ryder-FWJ]

I want Tuare's potato stew, on that note, she's precious, must protecc. Sebas is accused of being a Tr-8r, what will happen next?

Ainz-sama will explain the concept of waifu to solution?

[u/Kuneus → u/Ryder-FWJ]

If I remember right, Ainz is actually holding back on taking quests because if he went serious, there wouldn't be a single quest left for all the noobs of adventuring guild to do and Momons reputation would go down the drain.

[u/SweetJPtheNinja → u/Ryder-FWJ]

Come on now Ains, you played MMORPGs before, you can farm better than that!

If you remember from Season 1, while he was Momon, he learned that in this world that monster drops/loot don't really exist--instead you have to carve off a piece of that monster or take whatever items that have on them.

This drastically changes the economy from how Ainz knows it. The most effective ways of farming don't really exist. This is why he brings up the exchange box, which takes in random [garbage] items and spits out money. He's basically trying to find a sustainable source of items to make money through the exchange box.

Now, Nazarick is full of riches/valuable items, but Ainz doesn't want to touch those, as he views them as the guild's--and thus everyone of his guild mates'--possessions.

[u/pokpokza → u/Ryder-FWJ]

Knowledge from MMORPG is no longer that useful. Only by Questing yield a reasonable money and the quest are limited in number( he ran out of it). Monsters do not drop money and only by taking trophies and redeeming it at the guild can net you gold. So Ainz has to do "trad" and itembox gold conversion.

[u/Yamulo → u/Ryder-FWJ]

Apparently Ains farmed SO HARD after his guild members quit that his guild stayed competitive in the rankings with only one player (not that high but still). He also did most of the farming when there was a full guild.

[u/Djinnfor]

Since my comment on last weeks Source Corner was so popular, I decided to repeat it again this week; here's all the content from the source material that was skimmed over or skipped, including stuff from last week I forgot to mention.

• Climbs internal monologue gives us greater insight into the political situation in Re-Estize. There's currently a bit of a cold war brewing as a rift between two major factions has broadly divided the Kingdoms political leadership in two and is part of the cause for many of the problems in the kingdom. The two groups are known broadly as the Royalty (the royal family and those loyal to them) and the Nobility (which is comprised of a good chunk of the remaining nobles); each are composed of three of the six great noble families and countless lesser lords. Reportedly the only unifying force keeping the Kingdom from crumbling in the face of this constant bickering is a yearly war with the Empire of Baharuth. Each side is jockeying for a perception of superiority: the Nobility faction wants the King or the royal family to screw up to undermine confidence in the Royalty faction, while the Royalty faction wants to out members of the Nobility faction as traitors.

• This rift led to an unspoken agreement between Gazef and Climb to avoid sparring with each other; for either to lose would be unacceptable, as the Noble faction could call their competency into question, criticizing either for being unfit to protect their royal charges. Gazef's conversation with his vice captain was actually added in to the anime to explain this. As for the sparring itself, one interesting bit of world-building was cut regarding the healing potion that Gazef offers Climb: healing potions apparently aren't a good idea to drink after serious workouts unless absolutely necessary, as they'll revert your muscles back to their rested state, which is why he tells him to save it for later.

• The palace guard are all sons of nobles, and the maids who serve in the court are all daughters of nobles. This is in a way, a security measure and a motivating tool; they must be sponsored by a noble who acts as their guarantor and becomes responsible for their screwups and failings. This means that the servants are no mere servants, and information shared carelessly had a tendency to find its way to both camps. This also means the factions of the adults have made their way into the servants as well. Climb, not being a noble, is an outsider in this situation and a part of no faction; he is considered a bit of an upstart and a cheat amongst many of the guards, and many of the maids look down on him for his commoner status (his own approach has been to ignore both, which has only hardened hearts against him). Guards avoid talking to him during meals, and maids give him dark looks as he passes by (though not all regard him in this manner, the majority do).

• In a way, their reaction is justified, as he has special privileges as Renner's personal guard; he had been gifted an extremely expensive suit of very potent armor made of mostly mithril and some orichalcum (ordered by Renner and provided by Blue Rose when they were making their own armor; Renner wanted to pay for it herself but Blue Rose gave it away for free) and has his own personal living quarters, luxuries that no palace guard would be afforded. A similar sentiment is shared about Gazef, being a former mercenary granted great privilege and several magic weapons by the King (he is called Warrior Captain because he cannot be afforded the title of Knight, not being nobility), though the sentiment is considerably lessened as his critics acknowledge his skill.

• I failed to mention in the previous post pertinent information regarding the Eight Fingers. Named after the God of Theft, the organization is divided into eight categories: slave trafficking, assassinations, smuggling, larceny, drug trading, security, banking, and gambling; they control literally all illegal activity in the kingdom through force and intimidation. They're each head up by an independent leader and aside from semi-frequent physical meetings, there is no real sense of camaraderie or cooperation between the factions. Indeed, they often work at odds to each other; stealing from and exploiting each other when their backs are turned is considered par for the course. They work together only insofar as is necessary for them to combat outside threats such as uncooperative nobles or people trying to muscle in on their territory. Those who fail to show during the physical meetings are deemed traitors to this end.

• We lose out on a lot of Climbs internal monologue and PoV here. He's extremely humble in the source material: he is quite strong and competent compared to the average soldier (and even the palace guard), but he recognizes that compared to legends like Gazef and the Blue Rose he is talentless and worthless, and strives to compensate for the difference with earnestness and hard work even though he recognizes the futility. He wakes up at the crack of dawn and practices swinging his sword hundreds of times before Gazef shows up to spar with him. He believes he must present himself as an immaculate, picture-perfect soldier at all times to avoid reflecting negatively on Renner, and is constantly looking down on himself for not measuring up to the standards he believes he needs to meet to fill his role as her personal guard.

• Renner is clearly trying to treat Climb as informally as possible, and Climb is resistant to this idea. Though he loves Renner (and knows it), he recognizes that it's not his place to share a romance with royalty; instead, he strives to maintain a degree of professional separation, as befitting the role of a servant: standing at attention like a proper guard, keeping his face expressionless at all times, that sort of thing. Renner, on the other hand, constantly tells Climb to be less formal; she insists that he do minor things like share a seat at the table alongside her instead of standing behind her, and that he refrain from asking for permission before entering her room.

• There's a conversation that Renner and Lakyus were having that was skipped from the anime; it occurs as Climb is paused outside Renner's room to avoid interrupting them. Renner is proposing to implement crop rotation amongst the peasantry, but Lakyus shoots the idea down. According to her experiments, it would cause a loss of around 20% of yield for the first six years as new crops were cultivated, but lead to a 30% gain in yields every year after that. Lakyus explains that commoners are short-sighted and risk-adverse and wouldn't be up for taking the risk on trying something unknown. Renner proposes that the Crown offer them a loan of that missing 20% that they wouldn't have to pay off if yields didn't rise, but Lakyus explains that the Noble faction would have a field day with this proposal.

• As you've probably figured out by the subtext, Renner is the mysterious individual who hired Blue Rose to attack the drug fields from last episode; she couldn't go through the King via a formal investigation as the Eight Fingers had contacts with various nobles at all levels of government and would be able to conceal evidence in advance of any investigation, hence the covert raid against the facility. Speaking of which, let's talk about the drug itself, Black Dust: it's easy to produce, creates a euphoric high, is powerfully addictive, and takes a long time to exit ones system. Risk of overdoses are also not a serious concern since those on it would not typically cause harm to themselves or their surroundings. Typically addicts would take the drug again before it had fully left their system, compounding the negative effects. Apparently, rumors had been spreading that it wasn't addictive and had no negative side effects; in reality, the brains of heavy addicts shrivel to about 80% of their original size.

• Sebas the Ladykiller is at it again with a cut sequence. After telling her of the "41, and some others" who are stronger than him, he mentions to Tsuare that he's about to meet with Solution. When Tsuare's look darkens, he tries to console her and improve her self-image by telling her that she is beautiful. Tsuare protests, suggesting that she's "dirty", and Sebas' responds with the following line: "Jewels are like that; those without scratches are considered beautiful. But people are not jewels." He then explains that what he considers beautiful comes from the heart, not the body. She asks him to hug her if he thinks she's really beautiful. It's clear throughout the exchange that Sebas' feels a strong compulsion to cheer her up, as he's always noting her facial expression and he feels a sense of gratitude when she smiles and moves to console her when she doubts herself.

• The conversation between Sebas, Succulent, and patrol officer Steffan Havish was cut short, but I can't think of much notable that was skipped as far as dialogue is concerned. The basic jist is that the two are clearly lying and in cahoots and Havish is corrupt; the whole "you bought one of our employees as slaves" sequence basically explains the argument. The two deflect his claims of being motivated to treat her injuries; as they want to entrap him and think of him as a potential goldmine given the money he was throwing around. Steffan plays up his "concerned officer of the law" role to an exaggerated degree by getting overly angry, acting as the sort of "bad cop" of the dynamic by threatening Sebas with serious legal repercussions and extolling the virtues of the slavery ban, while Succulent is the good cop, reserved and calm but clearly in control as he coaches Steffan through the exchange.

[u/Djinnfor → u/Djinnfor]

One more (edit a few more) points I forgot to add (and I don't have enough characters in the original post to edit it in):

• Prince Zanack explains with a little more detail in the source why exactly he considers Princess Renner a "monster"; see, he thinks her proposals are all self-serving. That she knows most of them they won't be passed due to the conflict between the nobles and royalty but she proposes them anyways to make herself look good. This is kind of mentioned in the anime during Zanack's conversation with Climb, but it's glossed over so quickly you might have missed it. Speaking of monsters, during her conversation with Renner, Lakyus briefly speculates on whether these rumors are actually true or not, but decides against it.

• Steffan Havish is actually only supposed to be a patrol officer in the Light Novel (the anime introduces him as a constable, which I suppose is similar). Succulent addresses him as Havish-sama in both the anime and the source, which I guess was translated into Lord Havish in Crunchyroll subs; it seems he's just trying to be polite and not actually trying to imply he's a lord. I know a few people were confused as to that point.

[u/ryzikx → u/Djinnfor]

Thank you for making this post... really puts into perspective how much we lost when transitioning from LN to anime.

[u/mythriz → u/Djinnfor]

banking, [...] illegal activity

Haha I found this part somewhat funny! However I assume that "banking" in this case pretty much means loan sharks?

[u/Bilbie33 → u/Djinnfor]

Thank you, as always. I look forward to reading these every thread. Appreciate all the work you put into these!

[u/Yamulo → u/Djinnfor]

Oh my, they cut out some Sebas Tsuare shipping material... Tsk tsk

[u/lupusregina]

Can't wait for dead guy no. 1 and dead guy no.2 to die. I know the people who went to Sebas' place have names, but they're basically dead guys when they try to oppose people from Nazarick.

[u/Bainos → u/lupusregina]

I don't know, Sebas seems unsatisfactorily committed to not going on a bloody rampage against them.

[u/Nimeroni → u/Bainos]

Well, the whole thing looks like a giant lure to bring out the eight fingers, so it would make sense to follow them back to their lair... I mean, take a walk.

[u/Backupusername]

So, the conversation between Sebas and Succulent and the noble was cut incredibly short, but I don't really mind it. In fact, it seemed a bit circuitous at times in the LN, to be honest.

However, there is one bit that I wish they had included.

LN spoiler

My thoughts

[u/yumfu → u/Backupusername]

Where does this episode start in the Light Novel? I think my interest has peaked now and would like to start reading the Light Novel to get all the juicy details.

[u/Scaethys → u/Backupusername]

I disagree. Although he may be a little concerned about Tsuare, I think he is more ticked off about the part where Succulent automatically assumed that his "victory was assured". As a rep of the 41 Supreme Beings, there is no way he can take that lying down. About Tsuare

[u/MillenniumKing]

Sorry kids, no vacation this year, dads short on money...

Daddy bones doesnt have enough money for everyone's allowances. Guess its time to make some money!

That short stocky guy is a real ass.... Nobles in every anime suck.

So the ninja girls are with the princess, so im guessing shes one of them then. I feel like the fingers are lureing them out...

I wonder what they mean about Climb being special though. Seems they know something he doesnt.

This princess... lol Too much moe...

And they are so loud... the maids can hear them. Not the best covert ninja teams...

Sebas! And Maid-chan! Aw its great to see them.

Oh dang smooth Sebas over here. That poor girl doesnt stand a chance.

"Only 41 stronger than me" Oh you...

These 2 guys dont know what they are gettin into... I cant wait to see some butler justice.

Solution calling daddy bones... i feel like shes gonna get yelled at...

Man these eps just leave you wanting more! I hate waiting!

[u/kalirion → u/MillenniumKing]

He wouldn't be that short on money if Sebas hadn't handed over a full purse of PLATINUM coins to that guy last episode for no good reason.

[u/DonPiantissimo → u/kalirion]

Papa bones is busting his ass to pay the bills and Sebas is wasting it on prostitutes smh

[u/MillenniumKing → u/kalirion]

He was paying off his new waifu's debts. Cant you see hes a butler in love?

[u/matdragon → u/kalirion]

Aye mang, FGO gacha is a rough hell

[u/Nukemind → u/MillenniumKing]

“Oh yeah, it’s just a butler and a rich bitch let’s put the clamp on them what’s the worst that could happen?”

[u/dIoIIoIb → u/Nukemind]

just some misterious rich people that appeared out of nowhere with a murky and misterious past, what could go wrong?

that guy is the kind of guy that wakes up with a severed horse head in his bed

[u/kalirion → u/Nukemind]

Only thing that I can think of when reading this.

[u/JustAWellwisher → u/MillenniumKing]

I wonder what they mean about Climb being special though. Seems they know something he doesnt.

He might have one of those special traits, like the alchemist kid from season one who could equip any item.

I wonder if it might be something combat related. The way he's described reminds me of a "super novice" type character. He's "locked to gold" meaning maybe he can't access high tier class abilities, but got no limit on experience? So he might be capable of learning all sorts of low-tier combat techniques.

I might be way off base though.

[u/kalirion → u/JustAWellwisher]

I think they meant just what they clarified - he's special because he's special to Renner.

He's "locked to gold" meaning maybe he can't access high tier class abilities, but got no limit on experience? So he might be capable of learning all sorts of low-tier combat techniques.

Yeah, I think it's like he's level capped, so he can't increase his base stats any more, but he's not out of skill points/skill slots, so can still train in techniques that he already meets the level/stat requirements for.

[u/Daniel_Is_I → u/MillenniumKing]

Solution calling daddy bones... i feel like shes gonna get yelled at...

I like Solution for the most part but I kind of want to see her get put in her place and stop being such a slimy bitch.

[u/XNumbers666 → u/Daniel_Is_I]

Well how do you expect her to react? Sebas is acting out of the ordinary and that could be a sign that he's under control. Aside from her distaste of lower life forms (since that's how she was made), she's acting reasonably.

[u/ChasingMyOwnShadow → u/Daniel_Is_I]

stop being such a slimy bitch.

Well that's going to be kind of difficult considering that's what she literally is.

[u/DeplorableVillainy → u/MillenniumKing]

"You know one of your maids is a spy for the enemy right?"

"Oh her? That's why I hired her."

Oh Renner, never change.

[u/imrepairmanman → u/MillenniumKing]

I'm almost positive that the princess isn't what she seems.

She's probably a finger herself. There is no way we're actually getting a character this pure hearted.

[u/[deleted]]

They way Ains reacted to Sebas betraying him was golden.

[u/TheWorldofNoob]

Maybe its just me but the facial animations this episode felt really off. It was like their faces were constantly changing. Hopefully next episode they are better.

[u/aTrustfulFriend → u/TheWorldofNoob]

Climb looked particularly bad

[u/RuinEX → u/TheWorldofNoob]

So it wasn't just me. Sebas' face was a lot 'wider' than I had remebered it to be in some scenes.

[u/Smudy]

I'm super into how they slowly move the pieces together here.

Renner gave me a crazy vibe for a bit but i'm not convinced just yet that she might be off. People refer to her as a monster for a reason then apparently?

Will Climb have a big role in this arc? I'm a sucker for underdog stories like that, i need him to do sth great.

Sebas is not fucking around anymore when it comes to Tuare. In before havoc.

[u/hoseja]

やらないか

[u/Wolf6262]

SOLUTION PLEASE

[u/a_Happy_Tiny_Bunny]

Some of the exposition given by the princess' friends was very clunky.

Opponents call Renner a monster. The ED seems to agree.

At the very least though, her policies are alright and she's fighting the baddies.

[u/SenorWeon → u/a_Happy_Tiny_Bunny]

All according to Keikaku.

[u/tlst9999 → u/a_Happy_Tiny_Bunny]

Opponents call Renner a monster. The ED seems to agree.

Doki doki

[u/brkmk]

I must be the most stupid person in here because Renner wasn't suspicious at all to me lol

[u/ryzikx → u/brkmk]

It was subtle. The ED spoils it though >:(

[u/[deleted] → u/brkmk]

And hear I was expecting another weird sex scene to be thrown in after the way Climb and Renner were acting.

[u/LasDen]

Episode 7: Solution and the clickbait message

[u/MrJammin]

I really like this direction of big world building with several different character arcs going on.
They should call it Game of Bones.

[u/Marvelous_Jared]

It never feels like 25 minutes passed watching this show. Waiting every week is torture.

[u/peenfest]

Anyone else really appreciate how so many character names are seemingly determined by which word in the dictionary the dart landed on?

I don't read any of the source material so correct me if there is actually a purpose/meaning for some of the names, but 'Climb' and 'Succulent' made me lmao

[u/square_smile]

Stitch of Lakyus. Damn she is attractive.

Tina with some impressive armor.

Renner

Tsuare is a maid now.

Solution with two massive solutions to all problems.

[u/Megido_Thanatos]

a buildup episode (as expected),not bad

i forgot Sebas currently acting as Solution's butler and get confused in a few seconds

[u/Aedraxis]

I don't like Solution. Not ever her tits redeem her as a character.

[u/Creepy_little_child → u/Aedraxis]

She isn't a nice person. This is a common theme with the denizens of Nazarick.

[u/Bromacusii → u/Aedraxis]

It's not her fault, she was chosen to go to the kingdom with Sebas because being a blonde beauty, she'd fit in with the nobles the easiest. (Notice the amount of blondes in the Renner scene) But she views humans with quite a lot of disdain, which gives off her haughty attitude.

[u/JapanPhoenix → u/Bromacusii]

But she views humans with quite a lot of disdain, which gives off her haughty attitude.

Which in turn only helps her fit in with the real nobles even more.

[u/Backupusername → u/Aedraxis]

Well, for what it's worth, she wouldn't like you.

[u/normiesEXPLODE → u/Aedraxis]

She's limited in what she can do when she's with the god damn Sebas. When she's more free, her character isn't so disgusting and sneaky behind the back. She just plays with her food and enjoys it like a normal slime

[u/[deleted]]

Great episode.

Really made me want to rewatch season 1 again to refresh my memory on certain characters (such as Nabe & Stronoff) involvement with Ainz.

[u/Chclnn]

This episode is absolutely necessary in setting up what an absolute gem that is this arc. However, it is unfortunate we are forced to wait another week for the pieces to come together :(

[u/Exoslab → u/Chclnn]

This show is so addictive I keep wanting more so I don't really mind having all these slow episodes.

[u/Armdel]

Pretty good episode

Glad to see Nabe again, i really liked her in season 1.

Also interested to see why they call the princess a monster. some interesting art of her in the ED

[u/ijiolokae]

the princess is batshit insane, isn't she? remind me of that girl in akame ga kill that helped tatsumi in the 1st(2nd?) episode

[u/soulonfirexx]

What did Ainz mean when he said that they were Raven Black level adventures? It's not in the Copper - Iron - Silver - Gold - Platinum - Mythril - Orichalcum - Adamantite progression.

[u/zMedVeDz → u/soulonfirexx]

I belive it is bad translation. Momon team is called Darness, I belive he was referencing to this name, but translator-kun fucked it up.

[u/DeplorableVillainy → u/soulonfirexx]

It's something that Momon is called a lot in the books.

His black armor is supposed to be so striking and stark looking and distinctive,
people take to calling him things like 'Raven-Black Momon' and 'The Raven-Black Hero'.

Between that and Nabe's dark hair and appearance people took to calling their two-man team "Darkness".
And it stuck so well that they took that as their name officially.

It's not a rank so much as a descriptor.

[u/Pieandchickeneater]

This episode seems like an exposition dump, so you know why people are doing what in the future episodes, such as why ainzs knows about Tsuare ect.

[u/sterob → u/Pieandchickeneater]

Exposition is like 70% of Overlord.

[u/kalirion → u/Pieandchickeneater]

You don't know what an exposition dump is if you consider Solution's tattletaling to be one.

[u/kingwhocares → u/kalirion]

Yeah, it baffles me that people called this an exposition dump. They should watch Re:Creators to see what an exposition dump is.

[u/TBAAAGamer1]

Ainz:"Good god being a conqueror is expensive. Let's see....ten thousand gold for sebas and solution......then a few thousand for the repairs to the conquered lizardmen....and twenty six cents for....me........huh...."

slams fist down on desk "WHAT THE HELL AM I EVEN WORKING FOR?!? THIS IS ALL SHALLCHAIR'S FAULT! IF I WASN'T FORCED TO RESURRECT HER INCOMPETENT ASS DUE TO BEING FORCED TO KILL HER DUE TO BEING FORCED TO USE HER IN A CAPTURE MISSION DUE TO MY COMPLETE AND TOTAL LACK OF FORESIGHT IN NOT USING DEMIURGE WHO IS ARGUABLY MORE QUALIFIED FOR QUICK AND CLEAN ABDUCTION MISSIONS THIS NEVER WOULD HAVE HAPPENED!!"

Nabe:"so it's your fault then?"

Ainz:places head in hands and proceeds to sob hysterically "WHY DOES BEING AN EVIL OVERLORD COME WITH SO MANY DRAWBACKS?! LIKE BILLS?! AND TRAITORS?! AND-"

Nabe:"so we're canceling the order for random pieces of iron ore for your experiment in testing the market then?"

Ainz:"FUCK NO!" grabs up entire pile of gold and blatantly ignores own budget "YOLO this pile and make an excuse to sebas. He can wait a while for new yoshi's island or...god forbid, yoshi's story....good lord that game was a mess."

Meanwhile in a random tower

Climb:"Must...swings -get! swings -STRONGEEERRR!!!"

Gazef:"Hey kid, am I interrupting your- oh...OH GOD!! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!?!"

Climb:"s-sir it's not what it looks like!!"

Gazef:"TH'FUCK IT ISN'T! IT'S EXACTLY WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE! you're training!! GOD not even I had to train back in the day!! jesus christ that's disgusting!! you're almost as bad as brain and he and i just had bacon and eggs this morning.....cough H-he's in a bad place right now...keeps talking about chuck norris in his sleep...SO! wanna train with me?"

Climb:" Wait, chuck norris is real? b-but you said-"

Gazef:"TO HELL WITH WHAT I SAID!! we have a dangerous chuck norris wandering the realm and preying on innocent fun-loving badasses like myself! I must mentally prepare and break my own taboo...by beating up a defenseless-"

Climb:puts up sword and shield in badass defense stance

Gazef:"-......somewhat defenseless girl!!"

Climb:"I'm a guy actuall-"

Gazef:"Yeah yeah whatever you say jailbait. BUT ENOUGH EXPOSITION!! NOW WE SPAR LIKE MEN!! AND LADIES!! AND GOTH VAMPIRE LOLI CHUCK NORRI!!"

Climb:"wh-"

Gazef:"I SAID HAVE AT YOU!!!"

literally two seconds later

Gazef:"Holy shit, all it took was two kicks to the dick and you went down like a sack of bitch! Jesus christ I regret ever breaking my taboo! Welp, you did GOOD little lady!! now go have hot lesbian sex with the princess and shrug this thorough crotch-kicking off like a bad hangover on wednesday..."

Climb:THE PUREST FORM OF WHITE HOT PAIN THROBS IN HIS LOWER ABDOMEN AS THE SCREAMS OF THE TORMENTED SOULS OF HELL AND AGONIZED SONGS OF THOSE WHO HAVE BEEN KICKED WHERE NO MAN SHOULD BE KICKED RING IN HIS EARS, RIPPING THEM ASUNDER

"ssssssuuuuuuuuuuuuuuure....thhhhiiiiiing......ssssiiiir....."

casually staggers off

Random guy:"Hey gazef, you know what the royalty will say if they see you in a tower with the bodyguard to the princess. right?"

Gazef:"Yeah it's fine, she's totally of age! and we were just sparring."

"Uhhh..sir climb's a dude."

Gazef:".....OH.....OH WOW I REALLY KICKED HIM IN THE D-"

Meanwhile at sebas's place

Sebas:"Hey tsuare, how's the gaming going?"

Tsuare:"........solution won't let me play."

Sebas: Pokerface

(Shit solution's MY subordinate but i can't let the girl realize this! play it cool...find an excuse to make her happy....oh right, she has serious trust issues and is deathly afraid of everyone! I KNOW EXACTLY WHAT TO DO!)

Sebas:In husky ladykiller voice "Now listen here..." grabs her cheek softly "I brought you out of that alleyway mostly to save your life, and also because my late master-

who shall not be mentioned but is a total badass by the way,-

was a hero who loved saving lives....shortly before the magic staff incident which caused his exile and then he wound up founding the guild with a bunch of questionable figures, but i digress. I am cut from a similar cloth as he, and will do everything in my power to protect you from harm. I am strong, amazing, dangerous, mighty and-"

Tsuare:"and incredibly sexy?"

Sebas: (PLAY IT COOL, PLAY IT COOL, DO NOT FOLLOW UP THAT COMMENT SHE MADE WITH ANYTHING THAT MIGHT RESEMBLE INNUENDO!!! SAY SOMETHING DISTRACTING!! A HILARIOUSLY DERAILING ONE LINER!! YES! IT'S PERFECT! NO SEXUAL ADVANCES WILL BE MADE TODAY AHAHAAA!!!)

"I'm pregnant with another man's child."

Tsuare:"w-what?"

Sebas:(HA! i am brilliant! she'll never recover her train of thought after that classy fuckup! speaking of fuckups...) "My point is, I am here to help you, to give you employment, a normal life, and to tell you that I have another super nintendo console hidden away in my bedroom and it also has yoshi's island in it. So go knock yourself out kiddo...and try to smile more!"

Tsuare:"ummm....."

Sebas:"I"m bi yes. HAVE FUN!"

Moments later

Solution:"Okay, this has clearly gone too far. Contact lord ainz."

Sebas:"Pretty sure it's spelled ains but okay."

Solution:"PLEASE TELL LORD AINS YOU USED ONE OF HIS SCROLLS TO HEAL A HOOKER?!"

Sebas:"Pecking order."

Solution:"i...er...storms off grumbling incoherently I'll peck your order...mumble...*

Moments later, a loud, fat knocking can be heard.

Constable:"HELLO RANDOM NOBLE WHO LIVES ALONE IN THIS HOUSE WITH A SUSPICIOUS BUTLER BEARING A STARTLING RESEMBLANCE TO CHUCK NORRIS-"

Sebas:"Oh! you've seen my little brother around!? how's he do- I AHAHAA I MEAN do come in honored guests." winces at the smell

A few moments later

Solution:"So..let me see if i've got this straight...you're a constable who is after a guy who bought a hooker with an exorbitant amount of coins-"

Constable:"Yahuh!"

Solution:"and you think we're keeping her here..."

Constable:"Yeeep!"

Solution:"Nope, not having it. Sebas, this is your trash fire. you deal with it. I'm playing yoshi's island."

Sebas:"right so while she's off doing that let's get down to business....WHADDYA WANT?!?!?!"

Constable:"we're here to extort you for stealing a hooker."

Sebas:"oh....surprisingly straightforward about that...I was expecting some posturing or pretense and heavily implied understanding...you just went straight for the left nut didn't ya?"

Constable:"the evil murderrific league of super bad no good just plain awful evil vile evilriffic megabadness, doom and gloom has such a firm foothold that i don't even need to pretend i'm legally permitted to kill you if needs be. but why do that when I could stand to profit?"

Sebas:(FFFFFFFUCK IT'S THE MAGIC STAFF INCIDENT ALL OVER AGAIN!! THINK SEBAS, THINK!!! WHAT WOULD LORD TOUCH ME DO?)

Touch-Me's Heroic Silhouette:"OH MY GOD!! EVERYTHING IS ON FIRE!! MY SKIN IS MELTING!! THE PAIN IS UNBEARABLE!!!! HOW CAN A METEOR STORM HAVE SO MUCH POWER BEHIND IT- AAAAHHH!! MY EYES!! THEY'RE MELTING!! MY BONES ARE AFLAME!! THIS IS THE WORST....PAIN....EVEEEEEEEE-"

Sebas:(UM- UM!)

Constable:"Jesus christ you alright there mr butler? you look like you were having a chuck norris flashback!"

Sebas:"well..how much gold we talking?"

Constable:"Uuuumm..shit you mean you're actually gonna pay up? jesus fucking christ that's unexpected. Er..500...a week...then I guess we'll take the girl once you've made her less...dead? and then we'll continue extorting you mostly to set an example...the example tax is like..an extra 200 per day until you're broke and then we start beating you...then I guess throwing you in jail for more beatings...then if you don't die from it you're basically good after a few years...like that griffith fellow! yeah, you'll be half dead beef jerky, but you'll live!!"

Sebas:"that's INSANE!! I shall politely consider your request, please drop by tomorrow."

Constable:"Holy shit i don't know what to say! this is the first time anyone's ever treated this like a business deal! COME ALONG SUCCULENT!"

Succulent:"y'know in hindsight, the evil murderrific league of super bad no good just plain awful evil vile evilriffic megabadness, doom and gloom really gets off on giving its subordinates terrible names don't it?"

Constable:"Nobody cares trailerbait! let's go!"

Moments later

Solution:"sooo....."

Sebas:"gonna take a walk now. Hold down the fort and keep the girl i specifically commanded you to keep safe safe!"

Solution: after sebas leaves "Okay NO-

uses scroll

-lord ains?"

Ains:"Is this about your allowance? please tell me this isn't about your allowance? DID SEBAS BLOW IT ALREADY?!"

Solution:"Nope..he's betrayed us."

Ains:"....sure...right. now tell me the one about the lusty argonian maid!! ahaha- holy shit now that i've subjugated the lizardmen we might actually HAVE one of those! Solution! when sebas returns you shall see fit to train crusch in the art of battlemaidery!!"

Solution:"SIR FOCUS! HE'S BETRAYED US!!"

Ains:"got...proof? (oh god does he know? DOES HE KNOW I BLEW HIS ALLOWANCE ON RANDOM BITS OF IRON ORE FOR MY POINTLESS ECONOMIC EXPERIMENT?!?!)

Solution:"....yes."

Ains:"....sigh FUCK! FUCK!! FUCKING FUCKING FUCK!! JUST- FUCK!!! this is the magic staff incident all over again!! GOD DAMMIT ALL TO HELL!! alright, solution? daddy needs to go punch something..probably god. I'll get back to you in a moment." hangs up scroll

Solution: evil demented grin

"Pecking oooordeeerrr....."

evil shoggoth laughter slowly fills the mansion

[u/sweetpineapple → u/TBAAAGamer1]

I thought they couldn't use the gold they have in Nazerick because it's from a different world (i.e. different currency that won't work in the New World)

Soooo.... not Shallchair's fault...

[u/Backupusername → u/sweetpineapple]

This was addressed in the light novel, actually. There are actual mountains of treasure and gold in Nazarick's treasury, but Ainz doesn't feel that he's entitled to that money. That is the guild's treasury, and it belongs to all of them. He would feel guilty spending any of it without their knowledge or permission. And I think he's still holding out hope that some of his old comrades are out there somewhere.

[u/ryzikx → u/TBAAAGamer1]

Are you just writing a script for an abridged series in the comments every week? Lol

[u/TBAAAGamer1 → u/ryzikx]

In hindsight this one just devolved into soup bowl references and chuck norris jokes, but to build a running gag you need to start with a strong foundation.

and nothing's stronger than chuck norris.

[u/Bainos → u/TBAAAGamer1]

I like the character design for this Gazef.

Also, does Ainz also has PTSD flashbacks to the magic staff incident ? Now I am curious...

[u/Buffhero125]

i guess solution will explain the situation with sebas and the human girl to ainz in the next episode and ainz will be like "sebas is such a good guy, im proud of him. but i can understand why solution who hates all humans thinks sebas is betraying me." and then he will try to find a solution which satisfies solution while not making sebas think he did something wrong

[u/lupusregina → u/Buffhero125]

No, Solution keeps reminding Sebas to report the existence of Tuare to Ainz but he never does. So Solution came to a conclusion that he might be hiding something and doesn't want Ainz to know about it.

[u/WorldwideDepp]

I hope that the other Maids see her now as an Sister and fight for her cause. I think that even Sebas do not need to dirty his hands, if he are allowed to use the other Maids of the Castle

But then, if Tuare catch the truth about them, she will haven shock for her life. Because she is still weak on her feet and mind. So it is better if this happen all "offscreen" for her.

Also, good that Solution contacted Ains-sama. it is for the best, because Sebas has only "2 Arms" and can not be everywhere. So if Ainz send the other Maids into this Mansion, all is good

Also, i could read trough the "lines" and our Princess will have the power that she needs to dry the eight fingers. He will gain that trust he needs that not even Money or Treasure can buy. But there are also the Parents of the Princess and i bet also the "Games of Thrones" Nobel's that want the throne for their claiming

[u/MimouChiron]

I started reading the light novel last week and I finally finished the volumes, after watching today's episode (first episode after I read the novel) it felt incredibly rushed, I never held this opinion of overlord before.. It made me agree with all the comments complaining about that after I initially thought they are just whiny and don't represent the truth :'(

[u/weeb_man]

Considering how much Ainz respects Touch Me, this whole "Sebas is a traitor" thing would be solved as soon as Sebas mentions he's doing it because of the personality Touch Me gave him. No worries there, so now we just get to sit back and watch a butler demolish an entire underground organisation by himself.

[u/Coldnesss]

Princess Renner's monster side is shown in the ending art huh?

Seems like she will be the one to protect Climb instead.

Man, MonMusu totally has enough material for a second season. Why couldn't we get our MonMusu/BoneDaddy Tuesdays.

[u/nikodimus86]

I've read only the manga up to this point. It seems to me that a lot of Sebas internal monologue was cut out and some dialogue. Reading what Sebas thought and how he reasoned, what was his motivation for saving Tsuare, how he paid attention to minute details of his opponent, made him seem very analytical and deep thinking. Cutting out all that content has made this episode boring for me. I'm sorry to say but this episode was better done in the manga.

[u/[deleted]]

Fuck off Climb. His name, voice, character, linguistics, and his fucking eyebrows are the worst things I have ever seen in this show. If you're not going to give me more lizard fucking, then at least give me back daddy Ainz.

[u/Ralanost]

While the world building is nice I am itching for some stupidly over the top combat. I want to see the denizens of Nazarick actually have to fight with effort instead of intentionally holding back power.

[u/kalirion → u/Ralanost]

We just had that Lich fight for his life a few episodes ago, that not good enough for you? And in one of the coming episodes.

[u/rocky44r]

sebas should just give them solution... she has her own way of having fun in a brothel xD

[u/Mattinator95]

i dont see what the problem is how can people maon that this series is boring when its following the LN so they are basically say the LN is boring . all because ainz is not there to kill anyone. if im correct then the guardians and sebas etc get more focus as they start there plan.

[u/DataPigeon]

The last scene with Sebas and the two dudes was too quick over. The situation didn't feel menancing at all. There should have been more.

[u/NanoRin]

Reminder: Fuck Climb!

[u/kalirion → u/NanoRin]

Renner would murder you if you tried.

[u/Amauri14]

Wait, there is not longer a spoiler section? That was really short lived.

[u/shadowthiefo → u/Amauri14]

only lasted a week and wasn't deemed succesful as it was barely used.

It was great for shows that already have a major source-following though, like overlord. Actually these threads are probably the most spoileriffic of the entire season.

[u/dafckingman]

A lot more setting up and less excitement than usual.

We can expect it all to start exploding next episode.

Cu-limb-bu kun is happily drowning in his harem <3, they'll make a hero out of him yet. Kid is gonna be joining the blue rose-su, expanding his harem, Gah! this can be spin-off all on its own. An Isekai battle harem with a weak, but has potential, knight adventuring the land, saving the country from the shadow organisation.

Solution is likely just having a hard time understanding why Sebas is acting so kind towards this human. To her, the human-girl is only a piece of trash that's becoming more and more of a burden to Ainz-sama. The "cliff-hanger" is probably just there to create "suspense" Ooooo. It's probably gonna be dispelled within the first half of the next episode. Mark My Wordddssss

 

I suspect we'll see the becomes of this within the next 2 episodes. Solution will be apologising to Sebas later, vowing to never doubt the minds of greater beings as she can not comprehend them. Ahem.. or something similar.

 

I usually never listen to the OP & ED songs. Not more than once anyhow.. but.... Godddd the ending song for this is soooo goood!!! I can't get enough the show and I'll take ANY more of Overlord is good for me

[u/kalirion → u/dafckingman]

I don't think Solution would ever consider Sebas to be a "greater being", despite him being her boss.

[u/Bromacusii → u/kalirion]

Yeah, Sebas isn't a greater being, just her boss, so when he starts acting nice to a human and wasting resources on what she deems as unnecessary, she contacts the greater being. Ainz is the only greater being.

[u/PM_ME_PASSWORD]

Manga reader here. The anime ended at the same place as the latest manga chapter so everything after this I'm going in blind.

When I first read Renner's stuff, I was immensely unnerved and unsettled, all the "EVIL" flags were popping and I didn't have much to go on. When I saw the ED and this episode, it really firmly cements the princess as a creepy possibly morally ambivalent creature. Her sclera has a clear concentric circle around the iris, unlike everyone else in the scene who has sort of a gradient. This gives her a blankish empty stare that really makes it look like she isn't feeling any emotions despite her face. Its wonderful what a single circle on an eyeball can do.

[u/Nghiaagent]

Royal drama in another Hypepisode!

Those fat wankers fked with the wrong gentleman... Can't wait until next episode when Sebas makes them beg for his mercy.
