I think at this point Ainz Ooal Gown finally recognizes that he has lost his humanity. The deaths don't concern him at all and he is more concerned of humanity becoming a potential threat. Despite having no feelings on culling people he still has his intellect and memories which tell him this is not normal. Normal for a lich but not normal for who he use to be. I believe he is using Nigredo and Pestonya as a form of artificial conscience. If he silences or kills them then there will be no one in Nazarick to tell him when he goes too far as the majority have no issue killing humans which are like insects to them. Without these voices to temper him his goal of uniting the races in equality under his rule would likely never occur. More likely he would simply drive all sentient species to extinction which would eliminate many forms of art and cultural beauty.
I dont think hes realized it at all. Initially he noticed that he didnt feel anything for humans but it seems to be getting worse. And will just continue to get worse without noticing it until he potentially takes it out on one if the npcs like he did that one wolf npc.
@Xx IO Yes. he knew he had or was losing his humanity. But... He did not understand what that cost would be in forming a huge empire. In fact his decision to unify all the races and expand didn't even come to much later so how could he understand how humanity loss would affect his decisions? Play acting as a knight is easier because he has his old life's memories to play the stereotype which is likely why he overplays the part so often.
Nah, he is looking at this more coldly: he doesn't want humans to industrialize unchecked. He was born on an Earth where you needed an air tank to walk outside, or else you're lungs would fail. He doesn't want that world to end up like what he sees as the natural result of human expansion.
Suzuki desperately wants more Lawful Alignment NPC to keep him as Human minded as long as possible. He knows he's slowly sliding out of his norms and that scares him. I know I would.
I don't think that it scares him. It's hard to explain, but I've experienced something similar. At first, I didn't notice, but then someone scolded me for being insensitive. Then, someone I knew got hurt and I didn't care. I just knew that this was an unusual reaction, as I remember caring for him even in less important matters. I just found it odd. At the time, I was absolutely obsessed with my work, as I did my best to keep my j0b. However, I got ill more and more frequently, to the point that I was tested for auto-immune diseases. Still, I just felt tired, sickly, and somehow empty. Then, I got injured and everyone around me freaked out, whereas I remained calm and applied first aid to myself. It was like I was treating someone else to whom I had no real connection. I still felt the pain though. At that moment, I really noticed, that probably my most pressing issue was my state of mind... Not long thereafter, I was diagnosed with burnout and depression.
I say it is complicated... as in the spin-off or What-if story he still proved to be mostly the same if slightly detached, but otherwise a mostly good friend to those he called friends as he just enjoyed exploring the world. The issue is partly due to his guild NPCs. Who have a bit of a complicated history in following orders even when seen in the first volumes when their plan/goal was to lie low and not cause too many problems. As the joke goes - Ainz - Let's not kill children. NPCs - You heard him! Skin them and then feed them the cooked remains of their parents. Ainz - That is now what I meant.
Then remember he also has to give reasons for the excuses he gives to not be a total evil villain... the amount of good aligned NPCs are in the real minority... and the Good aligned people of the new world... ussualy tend to become the dead variety. Seriously we could have used the former Knight Captain to help give Ainz more good aligned people within the guild and the selfish human chose death without revive. That leaves only the village, the lizardmen, and a maid... as the remaining good, aligned people. Two people from the village might count as possible guild members and the maid... but that is a very tiny amount compared to the evil aligned new world people who joined/got conquered by the guild.
Ainz: don't kill children! NPCs: oooh we should fatten them up and slaughter them for food when they get older. Brilliant! Also "more scarier" isn't a thing, it's just "scarier".
Overlord is probably the only setting where (should you find yourself "lost" in Nazarick) running towards the monster with no face and a giant pair of blood-stained scissors _increases_ your chances of survival .. Pity it took Nigredo so long to appear in the anime, she's a character I like.
@@devinomatsu2444 She doesn't behave as scripted and can even disobey direct orders, I'd still rate you're safer running towards her than away (even as an adult).
@@Just-ThatOne-Guy Yuri Alpha too, along with one or two others I guess, but those characters _look_ safe. Nigredo looks anything but safe, so she stands out.
He ain’t no longer human literally sent his armies to destroy entire cities and towns he could easily directly attack directly and quickly due to teleport I hope a player group comes to beat him
@@devinomatsu2444 he’s not kind but cold and tactical. It’s his respect and love for his former comrades and their creation that he only acts in kindness. If Nigredo didn’t ask him, he would’ve killed all the children without mercy but only did so because he respected her opinion as another of Tabula’s creation. A lot of his acts of kindness so far were calculated such as the carrot-and-the-stick tactic. Remember, his Karma is just as bad as Albedo and Demiurge.
For all Momonga plans and counter arguments , most of them are not well funded with his overwhelming power , life spam and monitoring , it is just paranoia and the few desires to improve have more cons than pros , he is just becoming the monster people think he is , and becoming the ruler his legions always worship , truly a pity , supreme power corrupts supremely .
Lmao what. The point is that he doesnt know what to do bc hes a businessman and that hes flawlessly victorious in the eyes of others. Its the entire running agg.
I really wish to understand whether I'm still thinks if he's in a game or if he really understands what he's doing and if so doesn't that make him the most inhuman being imaginable.
Well, they're the villains. It's not like nazarick needs justification to do evil stuff. Ainz already doesn't feel anything for humans, so he's already as inhumane as it gets.
It's an interpretation of the work. Ainz is basically how we are when we play video games or a game of D&D. The actual people in the world or the random character's in the world mean very little beyond what they offer us. Ainz views everyone outside of Nazarick through how they benefit or hinder him and his own. Him being a literal undead that can't feel just amplifies that message. We don't truly care about the random people in the game world and Ainz doesn't truly care about the people of the new world.
Man i highly suggest you read Overlord The Undead King Oh (Chibi Comedy Spinoff) Nigredo appears multiple tine but her appearance is always unexpected. There's Nigredo in a different outfit, Nigredo with different artstyle, Interview with Nigredo. I won't spoil you anymore than this
There aren't any. Overlord is going to turn into Gate. There being an actual threat is the only way Overlord remains interesting and it doesn't look like that will be the case IMO.
Huh the slasher theme npc is the conciaence of nazarick. Neat. I can apreaciate. The irony. Albedo or her sister. One you love to look at but will kill you for breathing. The other will let you be. But looking at her will make wish for death.
Until this episode, Ainz was the only one holding himself accountable. His motto from Jesus only known to himself… but the person behind the Mary door reminds him of compassion.
most likely due to budget and production constraints. The showrunners needed to decide which unimportant scenes are to be cut out. Adapting from the light novels are not the same as manga.
what the F r u guys talking about. If you wanted Ainz to be good then this anime isn’t for you. Making Ainz good defeats the theme of this anime, an Antagonist Protagonist. This is what we liked about this anime, a full shit antagonist that is the protagonist. If Ainz will become good then this will be the same like those boring generic fantasy animes. -_-

I remember him saying in the first or second episode he was going to follow LordTouchMe's example. Guess he forgot about that really quick.
He admitted that his class is eroding his humanity away
I dont think hes realized it at all. Initially he noticed that he didnt feel anything for humans but it seems to be getting worse. And will just continue to get worse without noticing it until he potentially takes it out on one if the npcs like he did that one wolf npc.

I dont think it scares him, but funnily enough the reason it doesn't scare him is probably the exact same reason has becoming more evil.
The most logical step would be to change his race to something humanoid.
@@deusvult980 Would maybe his negative karma stat still effect his personality no matter what kind of body hes in ?
@@GiRR007 it's good tho
She is seriously underrated.
Can you make a video on good-aligned NPCs?
That would be a short video. I think there's like three good aligned, a scattering of neutrals, and the rest wholly evil.
Animestats did this and its a nice list
Honestly what nigredo did was justified, since not all of the people need to die just because they live in the kingdom.🐱
but not his Kingdom (yet)

Ok folks I stand corrected on the more scarier thing, Nazarick is an exception that truly does transcend the boundaries of grammar.

only if your 2 years old
I feel that Pestonya or Sebas would be a much better bet if you were looking for relative safety inside Nazarick...
When in Nazarick you want to *decrease* your chances of survival. After all, death is a mercy.

She’s a very nice girl in a way I guess she also seems like a cool character
imo, as long he retains his inner monolgue for the viewer to know what exactly is going on in ainzs head, he will not totally lose his humanity.
Nigredo's prophecy will come true = Staff of Ainz Ooal Gown will be destroyed!

I wonder on what side Rubedo's karma falls, and whether or not it has anything to do with her "impending betrayal"?
i really wonder why didn't She appear before
most likely due to budget and production constraints. The showrunners needed to decide which unimportant scenes are to be cut out. Adapting from the light novels are not the same as manga.
Nice
One of the top waifus of Nazarick 🥰
Ainz just heal her face.
Even with a burnt skin face, I can tell she is still a beauty 😗
Yeah.
Smash.
Now, I have to say that I blame Tabula Smaragdina for my taste on women!
