@@i3xt3blackeagle Oh. Thank you for information

@Aurelius I think ainz considered to spare some of the kingdom after he conversed with zanac, but ultimately decided to exterminate everyone. U know... u cant kill every single one if u dont put the effort. this decision was to make, which the actions of the nobles ultimately decided.

@Aurelius I think Ainz did consider sparing the city’s civilian residents. That said I know for a fact that whether he spared the city or decided to kill all those in the city the battle would have still happened and the Kingdoms military would still be wiped out. Either way the Kingdom loses but in one scenario some would have been given mercy.

Well ains is alot more powerful then their King they just killed no one would betray someone Who is basicaly a God with overpowered soldiers

@@jobvanleeuwen1007 it’s the principle though, which is the whole point of the conversation Ainz and Zanac had

Fuck, this is a good comment lmao

Ahhh....To be young and naive.

Oh yeah, turned out every snarky comment Zanac made about her in prior episodes was a warning to the poor lad following her rather than an insult to her. He was really trying to save the guy from a fate worse than death 😢

​@@BlueSoulGamer Zanac only knew that Renner had a scary personality and was much cleverer than she let on. I doubt he penetrated to the core of her actual character because Zanac was willing to work with Renner after he deposed his father.

Oh, I member!

It was pretty clear from the beginning. Traitors aren't faring well anywhere already... go figure in Nazarick.

Eyooo I was like: " *THIS IS TRUE JUSTICE* "

@@youkofoxy Worst part is that the Neuronist will be very flirty, calling them Honey and sweetie as she tortures them.

Well, no need to poison when you can just splat if you need to. When you have all the cards you can afford courtesy.

Ainz has to keep up this image of the supreme overlord around his many NPCs, but for once he got be himself and speak as himself without concern. Zanac wasn't flawless but he really was the best Re-Estize had, seeing his head in the bag really put things into perspective for Ainz, there was nothing worth saving or sparing among the kingdom, it truly earned its fate.

I dont it was like that. He drank the water hoping that water would contain any posion in it, thats why he drank it without any fear

​@@byRafaxyup, that's exactly why. He was hoping Ainz had tricked him, so his death would mean the end of the coming conflict. Ainz seeing him drink meant that he knew, this King was prepared to die for his country if it meant it would stop the death of his people.

@@Shikaschima yeah

Which is actually the entire series problem, ir not man(skeleton lich overlord) vs Man or Vs Nature or Government! It Man vs Self, for all his video game knowledge it painfully obvious that he does not know, that his NPC will never turn on him on their own! If he confessed he has no clue and that he was Human, they change there tune to be like Teacher Pet and keeping the most human alive to please him 😂😂😂

@@TheDarmNexus it's a reference buddy. That's the joke.

@@altruisticsloth My bad, I wasn't aware of said reference

He basically says that’s still a core motivation of his actions in this war. Where his subjects more merciful he would not take such drastic actions. Zanac understood that the power of a king only exists with the loyalty of its people, if they are not satisfied then the kings power is worthless.

can Ainz just change their personality after get isekai like he did to Albeldo?

@@lastmc9678 probably not since in s1 he tried to open the option settings and nothing comes up

The irony being if Ainz decided to just stay in bed all day and drop the act, the NPCs woudn't care at all.

@@waruwaru752 nah, he could probably change the way they think like Cocytus and Shalltear

What makes it worse is that most of the nobles refused to help Zanac and had planned to just surrender when the Sorcerer Kingdom showed up at their door. These nobles joined because their territory was between the capital and Ainz’s army.

He was a true 'KING' and almost saved.....

When I started the show I thought. This kid looks like a dick trying to get daddy's power and wealth. But by the end he was a man who was trying everything to help his kingdom.

It's worse, Ainz is straight up questioning going through with razing the capitol to the ground and killing everyone. In the LN he's leaning towards just killing the army and letting the rest live. When the nobles show up with the Prince's head it immediately replaces all of his mercy with a cold anger. He's not furious, he's not raving, or yelling, it's a calm and collected rage. That single action sealed the fate of every man, woman, and child in his way.

@@YourTechpriest didn't pestonya and another save some humans and got imprisoned because of that ?

@@JJ-fn2xj yeah, but that was more because the other Guardians demanded a punishment for going behind Ains's back.

just speculation but think ainz respected him after the meeting which swayed him a bit, an unexpected great feat, and when the nobles killed him I think ainz was deducing it out (the nobles reaction to his question) that they stole his highly valued armor as well and tried to lie about it to his face, so he sent them to neuronist(sadistic brain doctor) the best means of torture to understand true motives behind liers and possible discover where the armor truly is

@@toadalmoji5853 and to back your speculation, Ainz praised Zannack out of respect about “a true king” and if dumb nobles didn’t do dumb things.. Ainz would’ve spied Zannack just like what he did to Jircniv and Zannack will be Ainz’s first TRUE friends with mutual respect.

Thank you for introducing me to that scene.

@@kage3587 You should watch the entire series

10/10 for that Rome reference

HE WAS A CONSUL OF ROME!!

Two core. 1. A heroic noble who stared death in the face and gained his respect. 2. That noble wearing the very armor of a true hero whom also had Ainz' respect. "Death by dagger- death by crushing. In the end you'll die." But you see, Ainz gave a specific order for them to have a gruesome life and death.

Ainz: "Two. That makes TWO really cool people I've lost thanks to this damn kingdom now!!!!!!! *That's it. Everyone dies."*

@@skeyedrake5929 I dont beleive he will even allow the escape of madness....

He did sound a bit tired and frustrated at them but they could have just taken it as the demeanour of an absolute ruler when talking to ants like themselves.

Like when you did your infamous extermination of those soldiers. That... *That was....*

That was his Poker face.

@@akbarkhan656 Yup his posture when he sat after seeing Zanac's head is so noticable and I like that detail

the way he sat down tho 3:25

"Those who betray the loyalty to the crown only prove their loyalty is their own." A bit of a rewording of a legendary quote. But basically yes, due to the actions of those nobles their families are going to suffer too despite not knowing what happened, and the kingdom itself is going to be razed to the ground for allowing people like that to exist. In other words. By their own actions, the nobles proved their kingdom is beyond saving, beyond redemption. So he'll destroy it before they have any chance to flee and possibly miss some of the corrupt individuals.

@@Death_13TH Making sure no corrupt bloodline will be left. Ensuring no more survivors would also mean reducing the risk of revenge no matter how futile. Just saving Ainz the annoyance.

@@c4rlow455 I honestly dont agree, but yeah ainz is the villain indeed.

It wasn't just that. In the light novel, Ainz was actually fully convinced to just not go through with the war because of Zanac. But as we all know, all that was ruined when the nobles betrayed him. Zanac in the light novel basically managed to do the impossible but then it all got completely 180'd

Zanac actually said to his bodyguard: “he acted like a human. He may be all skeleton and bones on the outside, but on the inside, he’s just like all of us.”

The very fact that he asked himself that question in those circumstances proves he was a good man and a worthy king. But the rot among the "nobility" had already become too entrenched.

There is literally no use for those kinds of people. No honor, no loyalty what's the point. If anything having them assimilated into your society/kingdom is a liability since they have shown they will betray you on the first opportunity.

They did exactly what ainz was saying to zanaz, certain people happiness above others, and grab a fortune whenever you can

@@turarbekanuarbek Yeah but that was just stupid, who in their right mind would accept someone who betrayed and killed their lord because they were scared? I mean they were pronouncing their loyalty after killing their own king. If I had to guess those morons were just so scared out of their minds they didn't think things out or maybe they thought because he was undead he would be alright with it. Either way, they should have just tried to run, betraying/killing your king while pronouncing your loyalty to another king is laughable.

@@brianj1371 most of regicides have such scenario

@@brianj1371 It is exactly like when when someone cheat's on their spouse with another...then they get married and are shocked the person isn't loyal. Dude...they cheated with you on your own spouse, what the hell makes you think they will be loyal to you?

"Loot" 👌

How was he supposed to do good for his people when none of them were going to exist much longer? Ainz could bowl over any opposition without so much as an effort at this point, and the whole world would already know it. The author, however, keeps pumping out clueless jerks that don't make sense because otherwise there would be nobody to piss off Ainz. Telling the prince he's going to kill him and everyone in his kingdom because it'd make the NPCs happy? That's like someone stooping low enough to spout off "It's nothing personal" before killing you. That isn't respect at all. It's patting themselves on the back for bs.

Nobles don't tend to represent the people very well, like at all. Tends to be a major cause of rebellion and civil war.

@@evlkenevl2721 they literally discussed the reasoning in the episode

Yea, they discussed the reasoning the author of overlord used for what happened. Doesn't mean it makes sense.

Probably not Ainz might ask later on if their bodies was used resourceful or never mention it

yeah lol, quite the character development that is... interesting for sure, but definitely not one I agree with.

@@nathanperoandrei3841 I feel like the whole point of the Overlord story has always been a "descent into villainy" isekai and illustrating the phrase: "The road to Hell is paved with good intentions." Ainz never wanted to be the bad guy, but in his paranoia against unknown enemies and misguided attempts to make things better for his NPC's and the people under his care, his morals and principles fall further and further down on this slippery slope of doing bad things for some "greater good"

@@Lazarultos I Totally agree lmao it's something that u should probably understand and know when getting into this series as this theme will defo happen time and time and again

The Light Novel goes a lot deeper into Zanac's experiences and motivations. He was initially shown as the scummy and snarky prince who is a rival of the "pure" Princess Renner and then immediately turns it around as soon as they reveal Renner's true nature. After that reveal, all we see of Zanac's POV is his struggle to support a collapsing kingdom and exhausting his energy and resources to make the best of a bad situation. Near the end of the war, he begins to believe that he should never have been the King of Re-Estize because he doesn't have his father's charisma and he doesn't have Renner's cunning intelligence. He sadly acknowledges he is a mediocre prince who does not have what it takes to save the Kingdom... But he's still going to try anyway, because even if he's not enough, he is going to give it everything he has because the people deserve no less from their ruler. That was why he went to meet with Ainz despite knowing how hopeless it was, because he felt he owed it to his people to keep trying every option he had until his last breath. When they betrayed him and attacked him, despite knowing his swordfighting skills were poor, he did not run or try to flee, but fought until he finally fell, so that he would die knowing he had truly given the Kingdom everything he had. The author really loves making you care about good characters and then punching you in the gut over the bad things that happen to them beyond their control.

Oh sht up, the music did it for me. Fck the novel.

@@cheezchris whats wromg with u

Well to be fair he did kill an obscene amount of people with one spell

@@quintondorsey7362 That's what his ally asked for. Not his fault it rolled double 7's.

@@quintondorsey7362 killed by one spell, killed by skirmish, killed by famine, killed by a great war as a casualties. what is the difference? a huge amount of human is dead anyway

I believe in the LN they ARE told they were granted a merciful death during the talk with their king but due to their traitorous behavior they will now die a slow death over years of torment.

Hell itself was made for traitors, those who betray everything and everyone to save their own hides are quite literally the lowest of the low.

@@mhpnet2078 until they beg for death and even then they shall have a slow death

@Aesthetic Decision oh no, I was referring to the whole ains seeing the princes head scene, not the actual end of THIS video (I hadn’t made it that far when I made this comment, which goes to show I have an issue with not finishing the end of videos and anime) 😂

It wasn't a post-credit scene (technically it was?) The episodes last "scene" is the talk between Ains and Zanac. Then the credits start to roll but rather than the outtro being shown, we see Zanac head back to the commanders tent and the subsequent "coup" of the nobles. Credits are rolling but there is no outtro music, just the coup occurring, and immediately afterwards we go to Albedo informing Ains of his new guests and the "credits" stop rolling. So, there was no outtro this episode. But technically the credits rolled? (but nobody was paying attention to the credits, kind of like when in Re:Zero Subaru has his mind taken over by Betelgeuse and sacrifices himself, I think the 3rd to last episode of Season 1? Credits are rolling, but the scene takes precedence)

Hilma isnt a subordinate to anyone though so she doesnt betray anyone but rather when she was offered mercy from Ainz, she took it knowing the fate awaiting her if she didnt

Tbh can you blame them? Coming from their perspective, the way zannac brought the news about ainz not willing to accept their surrender, it was pretty understandable why they did what they did. The reputation of the royal family was already pretty shitty considering how cowardly rampossa was so they never really trusted any of them. They probably thought zannac didnt even try to surrender to ainz and just pissed ainz off. Not trying to justify them backstabbing zannac by any means. Just adding a bit insight to the situation

@@toragic3432 there is no excuse for betrayal.

Just saying but if they actually accepted zanac's proposal of killing phillip and offering his head, all of this wouldn't have happened. These were the same nobles that trashed on zanac saying " have you no pride" when he wanted to turn reestize into a vassal state. Then they do most prideless thing ever and kill their king just to survive. They deserved what's coming to them since in the end it was their own fault anyway with zanac being the scapegoat

Plus, zanac probably understood that whatever reason , the nobles wouldn't have listened. What was left from the reestize kingdom where the worst of the nobles since most of the good ones were traumatized or died during the katze plains massacre which included marquis raeven. Zanac got dealt a bad hand but those nobles 100 percent deserved what's coming to them

They insisted on the family coming with them, and he said they talked him into it.

I mean, Ainz was going to destroy the kingdom anyways, bringing Zanac back would've been beyond cruel if it was for the purpose of destroying his kingdom & murdering the rest of his family in front of him, not to mention potentially finding out his sister betrayed him and everyone. I also think revivals can only be done for seasoned warriors / high-level NPCs, since they've mentioned before that it really drains your levels & makes you super-weak.
