Lol, I wrote this about 2/3 in and right when I resumed the video, you said pretty much what I was just saying :'D

@Trollnix I must revise my last statement. Phillip-kaka would have obviously made for the best King! He could have saved the world from the clutches of Nazarick if it wasn't for Zanac!

Zannac was a real man, He looked death straight in the face and instead of begging or crying he rode back to his men and prepared for his end with dignity

.... He was... He was........

Yes, Zanac even called them out for not having the guts to kill him themselves

u need to listen again. He says this in round about way. He says even though they werent willing to fight or something like that.

Also he did not have Razor Edge

Lol he dead

pretty sure the spin off has nazarick destroying 3 kingdom before ainz even hear about it sooo ain't looking to good for that timeline.

Even better than Renner

@@theprettypetard2524 Yeah, knowing the NPC they will probably enslaved the human and all the demihuman. With only Pestonya, Sebas, and Nigredo try to lessen the suffering, but as they are all ordered to follow Albedo without Supreme being order, they basically powerless even more than in canon.

probobly theyll be like jircniv and piyuro

I agree zanac ain’t have no love loss his only regret was he didn’t meet him sooner. I fucked with him. R.I.P

When I first watched overlord I honestly thought he was the bad guy when he was first introduced. Second son scheming for the throne because he wants power, being overweight means overindulgence and the count being introduced as a opportunist.

The characters are so multi dimensional. Zanac was not a bad person he was just related to a complete sociopath. That's what makes him a true king.

alot of dead characters deserved better

Actually, if you read vol.7 to the end (Entoma reporting to Ainz, what has been done to the corpses of the workers) you'll be amazed by what "proper burial" really means in Nazarick ;)

@Nas to be honest that's one of the few moral things in Nazarick I can agree with. If your gonna be a dick and kill people using all the bits is more respectful than leaving shit behind especially if your a predator cause it symbolises that you did not waste the persons life. It's gruesome but from the perspective of predators Ainz is teaching his children good manners.

@@risha43 Never understood Ainz's sense of respect. He is not a warrior, so I don't understand why he respects Gazef, who still chooses honor in the life of many. He respects Zanak, who recently became king and didn't do anything amazing. Enri, on the other hand, is in the same situation as Ainz but she managed to do it. She has no reason to respect Zanak. He talks a lot about friendship and how he misses his friends but he tortures those people who have shown that same feeling that is emphasized in the character. At least Cocytus is consistent. Following, I believe, the sense of the samurai warrior (he respects orders but also the courage of warriors), he goes against orders out of respect for the Lizardmen.

@@TermInator-np6vw Ainz kinda likes the eyes of the people who stand brave in the face of death, like- Gazef vs. White scripture Tsuare almost getting her head blown by Sebas Gazef vs. Young Ones Gazef vs. Ainz Martial Lord vs. Ainz Neia fighting Jaldabaoth's army Zanac(leading his poor army) vs. Ainz(leading death's army) Climb vs. Ainz These are a few examples shown in the light novel, but for those cowards who run or try to push their subordinates ahead, like the Giant of the East and Grand King Buser, they're true trash, not worthy of his respect. Clementine is the only exception, coz Ainz was satisfied with the intel he gathered during their fight.

@@risha43 So it is strange that he continued to treat and think badly of the Foresight. Hekkeran sacrificed himself for Imina while she and Roberdick decided to take time for one of their mates.

Sightless_Seeker Skaven never squirt fear-scare musk. Skaven brave and never run-flee yes.

Don't forget their families as well

@@arturarruda8151 Imagine bringing your familie there, only to find out that your 4-14 Year old Kids are getting their nails ripped out, and getting kidney stones along with yourself. Holy Shit.

It's a running theme in Overlord that nobody gets the death they "deserve". Plenty of good and noble characters die with little dignity or fanfare. Zanac was actually one of the luckier ones in this respect - he got to go down swinging and made a final badass boast.

Ainz even honores Zanack with a burial.

From the NPCs' perspective, Zanac's death was well deserved, which after his head was brought to Ainz by his own men, and further more Ainz in his mercy orders for Zanac to be given a proper burial, which in Nazarick: is to put every piece of the corpse to good use (like what happened to the workers which Entoma reported to Ainz in the end of vol.7 "The head was given to a Silk Hat Demon. The arms were split between the Deadman Strugglers, etc.."), and then vanquish the entire army within an hour, I'd say that was the best end for an inferior life form who dared challenge the Supreme Overlord in a battle of wits so far. Of course, Ainz' human side might've wanted to honor Zanac with a real proper burial and have forgotten the workers entirely..

@@risha43 Eh, I think they were aware he wanted Zanac's body to be treated with respect. There aren't many other ways to interpret "proper burial". As for Arche...remember that he never promised that her body would be buried. Only that she would die painlessly.

@@mjuang84 the NPCs take every word Ainz speaks as divine revelations (even if he said Black is White, then it must be white), then if you read Entoma's report at the end of vol.7 and Albedo's reaction to Ainz' "magnanimous mercy", you might understand what I'm trying to say.. Ainz even replies that it's not "mercy", but a hunter's way of respecting the prey or something like that..

It will only change them for the better.

@@sKYLEssed sounds like we got Demiurge in disguise!

Perhaps he was dragged back to Nazarick and introduced to all of the five worst.

Truly a fate worse than death.

@@travissmith2773 worse. Pandora actor was holding back the whole time.😂😂

no, Ainz specifically said to bury him. He did not want to raise him as an undead.

He is not a spellcaster so no use for the silk hat demons. But Aniz did say to bury him. Which is more respect than most would have got.

ainz was preaty impresed about his composture when negotiating soo when he was killed in sutch a misrable way he got mad and ordered to give him a proper burial.

@@feodaron89 be kind, only spread fake spoilers.

And the craziest thing is, almost everyone was baffled at how this started because no one could understand the level of stupidity that it would take to antagonize the SK.

Being a genius but mad doesn't mean a great ruler and so zenac is better than renner

Nope Jircniv will stay loyal.

jircniv would will deffinitly be horrified but in a way also relived that he made the right choice he long have understood the price he will have to pay if he stood up against ainz but im not sure he understood the totality of said price now the consequence of such action has been shown to him without a doubt baharuth would end up the same way if he had not bend the knee. Ainz messge to the world is the tale of 2 kingdoms one that submit and cooperate and another that resist and challange him one gets the protection and prosperity another get total annihilation since his power is so ridiculous by the new world standard a bunch of nation like re estize grouping up togeather will provide him no challange what so ever. Chances are most would rather be like baharuth then to end up like Re Estize jircniv now having seen the actul price of betrayal that probally exceed his already considerable estimation without actully having to pay it and having enjoyed the fruits of submision would not have to think hard which he rather prefer total annihilation or prosperity how is that even a choice.

IE save scum like crazy and still loose every single time.

thanks buddy, realy appreciate your feedback :)

The genius has now ruined the image he tried to keep beautiful in previous volumes. Moreover, he must now take care of the territory of Re estize, or rather, it is Albedo and Demiurge who have to do it.

Truly a "Sasuga Ainz-Sama!" moment

brain had it than he gave it to renner

@@cocainelsdxtc yes

I find it makes no sense for both of us. For him it would have been logical to show respect for Sword of darkness (because they were who Ainz wanted to be, that is adventurers) and Foresight (for their deep camaraderie) but Gazef and Zanak had done nothing to deserve it.

@@TermInator-np6vw Gazef a warrior whom stand strongly with his belief and duty that remind him like his own friend touch me and Zanak whom someone that trying his hardest to fulfill his duty that is save his kingdom from painful doom even though it's inevitable? sword of darkness already avenged by killing clementine and the old guy and remember the foresight and worker already found big treasure in front of nazarick tomb but still trying their luck inside nazarick and not only that they tried something unforgiveable for ainz that is to use ainz guild member name for their own safety.

@@null8036 - I don't remember touch me ever showing character sides. Could you tell me where they are said? Ainz admired Gazef for determination and willpower and courage; v.1 ch.4 part3; He admired Gazef’s determination, his strength of will that he did not have. V2 ch3 part3; And then he recalled the brave man he had encountered recently - Gazef Stronoff, the Kingdom's Warrior Captain. * but also foresight shows this type of character, all to protect a partner but ainz doesn't seem to give a damn. Gazef on the other hand was there to do his duty. In fact, as a warrior in the direct service of the king, a failure, according to what can be deduced from the discourse between gazef and ainz in volume 9 before the "duel", could have been a shame for the king. In short, Gazef dies of blind faith but without a real motivation. He dies knowing he is dying. Different is Foresight who decide to sacrifice themselves for a goal but without thinking "why must she save herself and we must stay here to die?" , which ainz also points out when he tells them; v.7 ch4 part 1; "However, it's quite remarkable that you decided it without fighting with each other. I thought I would see your disgusting true selves on display here. " * In short, they show courage, will and determination. - Zanac, on the other hand, was a type placed on the throne by compulsion. If so little is enough to impress ainz, why doesn't he give a damn about many others around, like Enri who manages to run the village on his own, in a situation similar to his? - I know that ainz avenges them but my point was to write possible people that I think he should have respected. - It's bullshit about the treasure. In fact, ainz has no reason to donate gold to strangers, especially considering that in the previous volume, after he hears that the theft of precious objects from the re estize kingdom has auvto success, he feels reassured. Furthermore, if he did, there is precisely the risk that someone, or worse, all the workers would abandon the mission and at that point albedo and demiurge would ask questions. Also in a tweet (which I put at the end of the comment), the author said that one of the things to do to stay alive was not to touch any coins. In my opinion that gold is there for two reasons. Either it serves to attract even more or better yet, it's there for decoration. In fact, there are also decorated flags in the tombs with gold. - Regarding the lie, I always thought it was absurd as a situation. 1) It was only one member of the group who told that lie. 2) Ainz and demiurge use the tomb for a political purpose, tarnishing the name of the place, like a politician who uses a temple or a church for his political campaign. For the workers it was just the opportunity of a lifetime. They certainly didn't think they were invading someone's property, unlike jircniv. 3) Regarding the lie, I would like to tell you to go and read that part (v.7 ch4 part 1) and you will realize that hekkeran had no reason to lie because Aiz does not talk about his friends right away but could continue to tell the truth, that is, that they were sent to explore a newly discovered ruin. . In fact ainz accuses them of greed and tells them that they are not forced to enter (like the elves) they have convincing reasons to do so (like the group) and hekkeran tries to say their reasons but ainz interrupts him saying "don't bother me with yours lies ". So why tell a lie based on nothing. If he wanted to buy time he could just say "why do you think I'm lying?" or "it's not a lie. I'm just answering your statement."

@@TermInator-np6vw while i do agree a portion about zanac and gazef but ain't hekkeran literally bullshitting his way in front ainz by using momonga image at hand and then lying about ainz friend but got busted because ainz true nickname is momonga unless we reading/watching different novel/anime?? for touch me character isn't he implied by ainz himself that he is someone whom won't hesitant helping others and you're right ainz kinda respect someone that have courage and won't run away from their duty but for foresight no matter how much anyone try to justify/demonize it is true that ainz need some demonstration for what will happen if someone dare to tresspass nazarick (and also he need good reason to introduce himself to empire) but as far as it goes you're right about gazef and for nazac can be taken like this "even though he know that his kingdom surely will be ruined but he still keep trying his best for at least the inevitable doom that will happen will be painless and merciful" respect.tho foresight problem is when they try to bluff about ainz friend since ainz always prioritze his guild members it hurt his feeling very well when they lied even though it's for their survival. foresight can be straight up die like arche but because of that lie they instead...........you know where they're know

@@null8036 - As I said in my comment, Hekkeran has no reason to lie, both because basically the lie was easy to discover, and because he wanted to use it to buy time and find a way out but at this point he could continue trying to say the truth to ainz, as he tried to do when aizn accused them of being there out of greed. In fact ainz does not speak of his friends when hekekran lies and therefore he could not imagine that there could be someone who had a similar authority to that of ainz. In fact at a certain point ainz says the word "friends" and the narrator says "Friends, a new word". - The second part is totally illegible. Correct it and use more commas and punctuation.

Brain leaves it behind

To be fair, literally no one can predict the actions of an idiot on the level of Philip.

@@SnowyWolborg But it was foreseeable that the kingdom would collapse sooner or later. If Ainz had waited for this event, he could have done what Jircniv wanted to do, which is to arrive as a hero. In Philip's case, he could simply take him and torture him in public, to demonstrate what happens to those who turn against him, something already seen in the Katze plan.

@@TermInator-np6vw yeah but rampossa reject that proposal to sacrifice any nobleman to sorcerer kingdom thus lead the war. simply take him and torture him only make it worse to him since he techincally kidnapping other kingdom nobleman without any approval from the said kingdom.

@@null8036 It was implied that he had to hand over the kingdom. Rampossa proposes the absurd idea of proposing his head, without thinking that if he did this, his son would ascend the throne and act as he disapproved. In the end, nothing would change. Insomam, Rampossa chooses not to hand over philip just because he thinks he could have been plagiarized, without reflecting that the nobles have been making fun of him for years, as well as contesting gazef in every way.

@@TermInator-np6vw yeah but he didn't think that giving an literal old man head that probably will die anytime soon for philip crime will become humiliation for the SK instead of sign of remorse. the problem with him giving his head is it only resolved the problem inside re-estize but from the outside perspective, re-estize kingdom doesn't take SK seriously and instead of giving the cuplrit head they give an old king head that can die anytime soon and will be replace by his son. the matter of philip was charmed or not is an internal problem within kindgom re-estize. they should handle this more carefully instead giving old man head

zanac had one chance to save the kingdom from it's faith and he missed it. if he objected his father's descision to save philip and overthrew him to give philip's head before the war begun he could have potentially avoided the whole thing but he waited for to long to overthrow him. that would have shown that the kingdom was bowing hard to ainz instead of trying to remain independent with the offering of the king's head.

Apparently Arche was Fluders disciple who had ran away from him for reasons that was never explained at least to my memory. In Fluders inner monologue we see that even after years has past he still misses her as she was said to to be extremely talented as she was quite young and was a third level wizard. Found it quite amusing that the #2 guy in the empire wants to help you out and then the author explains that the girl has to go to raid nazarick because he is out of cash. Some times I do wonder what is going on Maruyamas head : D

@@juusovuolle8251 if i recall correctly arche ran away due to the situation with her family and while fluder does miss her a bit it didn't seem enough to make him go out of his way to look for her. the guy is/was also kinda busy it seems. he may also have tried and failed to get her back if it is years allready wich would explain why there is no further attempt.

DP2495567 First you say that stealing is wrong and then you say you do it? If the emperor had given Arche some charge, some other nobleman might have thought he was doing favoritism. At the very least Arche could have been Fluder's assistant and later to be a teacher at the academy. The question is "Did Arche know what Fluder thought of her? Then, another question: if Fluder held her so much in consideration, why did he never find her? Did he have a lot of resources to do it. Or is this a point written a little badly by the author or in Fluder it didn't matter too much to her. Then, the job was to explore the tomb while the recovery of the treasures served to obtain an extra reward. If Arche had been greedy she would have kept the rewards higher precedents for herself, instead (stupidly I would add) gave her to try to save her family.

@@elias2054 well i dont recal it being said in the novels but i think she was aware tha she was one of fluders favorites, cause she is a 3 tier mage at yong age and has the same inate talent tha fluder has, the ability to see others mana that said i dont think fluder had the time ou intencion to "help" her, he at most would give her some money to live whit her sisters

Was baited, essentially. PDL fought in his remote-control armor against Pandora's Actor (as Ainz), with PA explicitly told to hold back to a significant degree. PDL put up a good fight against this Pandora's Actor but ultimately was unable to deal any significant or fatal blows. Before the fight Albedo was lured out by an Adamantite Adventurer with a Gundam, however said adventurer had no chance against her. Albedo ended the PDL vs PA (as Ainz) fight by overpowering PDL. PDL concludes that Ainz (really an holding-back PA) can be defeated by him in person (as a dragon), and that Ainz is probably an NPC and Albedo is the player. It is revealed that Ainz' world item (the red orb in his abdomen) has Anti-dragon properties. PDL himself reveals that he has natural anti-undead properties. That sets both of them against eachother nicely.

The nobles were already frowning on Gazef. If he had joined Ainz the nobles would have had only one motivation to point the finger at the king. Perhaps Ainz, at Gazef's request, would have saved the ruler during the events of volume 14 or could have convinced Ramp. to become a puppet king, following Nazarick's instructions and then try to make his kingdom a vassal state.

You can read the WebNovel that has many diferences. But i dont remember what happens to Gazef.

@@elias2054 it doesn't really matter considering the kingdom was Destroyed no thanks to the Selfish Actions of the corrupt Nobles Negating Gazzef sacrifice.

He also has stated that 17 volume would be the finale meaning the end, so many question will be unanswered Ya and their a bunch of plot holes

Sometimes, an interfering editor can be a bigger enemy to the story than the villains themselves.

On the off-screen fight with the kingdoms 400k army, it can be said that it was skipped for a reason. Unlike the earlier major battle in the Katze Plains this fight had no "intimidation" factor. The goal was entirely to kill the Kingdom's army, unlike in the Katze plains wherein there were multiple objectives: Intimidate Empire, lure out brainwashers, gain E-Rantel. There was no point to show this completely one-sided battle, especially since no one would be left alive to tell the tale.

i hope there is no some kind of tomb suddenly emerge in north/south pole, amazon rainforest, sahara desert, or anywhere in earth. because if so, damn man we're doomed

its english but he has a thick german accent

Pretty sure that is the point of the overall story though, to show a foreign and overwhelming force suddenly appearing and how the natives react to it. This series isn't about DBZ grudge match or beam struggle, but about world building and character growth (for side characters). Usually the protagonist need to change and grow as they try to find their way through the "main antagonist/conflict/struggle" but in this case the protagonist *IS* the conflict, and the world must adapt around him. Ainz *IS* the immovable obstacle, he *IS* the ultimate villain of the story that everyone need to overcome/adapt to. Part of it is to also highlight the difference of placing a video games character into a realistic high fantasy setting and show how absurdly overpowered they are in comparison. Like, video games characters kill gods and destroyers of worlds without batting an eye, then you put the same character in something like D&D? Yeah.

I think that's not the focus of the story anyway. For me, where Overlord shines is in its world building and characters. Its plot can be amusing at times, but it's how the characters react to the plot and what new things become uncovered is what makes the story great. I consider Overlord a flat character arc story, and as that, it is quite the gem

@Kabcr1 "Genocide isn't exactly a good look for Ainz. Men, women, and children, families, innocents, 8 million in total, all dead and many tortured because he wants a 10,000 year peace? Isn't that exactly how the Holocaust was justified?" to be fair that's not uncommon in the new world, several nations set their eyes on the kingdom , and were planning its downfall. and the king openly defended philip and refused to give philp to nazzrick , and would rather try to fight the nazzrick and risk countless lives of civilians to protect a complete idiot just because of his noble blood.

philip rob SK humanitarian food > Albedo & Demiurge Scheme Fail > Ainz Explain that there are stupid nobles > Ainz let Demiurge initiate Carrot & Stick: Stick part to re-estize > albedo come as diplomat to send message > zanac advised to rampossa to sacrifice philip since he is the culprit of the robbery > rampossa reject and offer his head instead > SK reject that > Zanac depose his father > Zanac negotiate with ainz and begged to him to at least spare the people of re-estize kingdom > The corrupt nobles do the unthinkable once again, that is killing zanac > ainz conclude that there is no hope for re-estize and proceed the Carrot & Stick: Stick part on Re-Estize > Kingdom of Re-Estize doomed The excuse ain't 10,000 years apart even though it's within the plan but the cause behind this are phillip foolish action and Rampossa Stubborn on protecting his corrupt nobles. The original plan involve a civil war where SK will come as saviour to Re-Estize but cause of phillip action the plan was doomed and with rampossa action making it clear that Re-Estize kinda 'humiliate' SK. Zanac try his best begging for his people lives and ainz consider it but after the betrayal of corrupt nobles killing zanac, they seal their kingdom + people death warrant. there is no 10,000 years peace, there is no holocause nazi-style where they kill all a group of people, it is just a side-effect of badly handled politic started by the re-estize kingdom itself. the people of re-estize kingdom are unlucky to have nobles full of corrupt & stupid people but they are still lead by those corrupt people so SK need to put example to what happen to let corrupt people become the government and also making example to DO NOT MESS WITH SK.
