People will need to see vol 7 for them to 100% accept that ainz is no Hero but a true villain. edit: Also Fluder was in the intermission, if they have to introduce him it will probably be at the end as a set up for a potential s3
anime skipped the part about what ainz said when he regained shalltear, but he basically said he wants the people who made him kill what is basically his daughter...he wants them, their loved ones, everything they hold dear...and make them regret ever touching nazarick
@@christinetirimon4232 There are many things the anime has skipped, most of them Ainz' monologue which usually consists of 4-6 paragraphs of "what ifs"
He's not only an evil He is a great calamity that reeks into the world. Yet you be surprise to see the people who read 12 seasons and said "Wow I'm gonna drop this novel because he's an asshole now"
Frankly, I despise all "heroes of light". I spit in Yoda's (Star Wars) face for his views on death, while I _completely_ agree with the views of Lord Ainz (Overlord) and Lady Sunako (Shiki).
I would describe Ainz as an “Anti-Villain”. Unlike a pure villain (who fights for evil for their own selfish motives) or an anti-hero (who fights for good for selfish/evil reasons), an anti-villain plays the villain’s game for selfless/good reasons.
@@mmmmmmmmmm729 it funny you say that because there are people and I read the comments. On this show that take it too far. Hell on reddit I think or some polls they're on there like f*** the children they did it all deserve to die may become fodder for them. But get mad when someone calls you edgy or something. Sometimes people take things too far. I learned that from a app called Zing book. Where you read manga and stuff. You can have comments on while you are reading and one day plague of edgy degenerate on they're was taking it too far.
blade wind some people will just take it too far but it’s still nice people enjoy this series and having fun watching/reading it SPOILERS FOR VOLUME 13 I love how Demi admiration for Ainz skyrocketing in volume 11 and 13
He's not necessarily the main villain. If he were, then he wouldn't bother presenting himself as someone malevolent towards the lizard people. If anything, Ainz is a rising key player in a world where it's politics are already dominated by villains.
It all really depends on your definition of villain, and to look at it at a (mostly) (maybe?) objective way you could say he's just a businessman 'father' who's a tad overprotective, and absolutely ruthless in said business, Of course, that's just my (maybe mostly?) objective point of view.
His faction still tortures, his followers are sadistic and think all humans are inferior insects. A lot of them like to see humans suffer and despair. They experiment on humans. He lets that happen with his knowledge at times. They, Ainz included, care very little or at all, if innocent people die when they try to get things done, with some minor exceptions like SebasTian, and that's not even always. Ainz doesn't have empathy, and doesn't always give mercy, even if he can. His mercy also means a swift death, not giving them their lives. Unless it can benefit him, only thinking of himself. Any perceived kindness is a by-product or a means for his own ends. They even fabricated an evil for him so he can earn people's trust with Momon. He also wants to dominate the world and put it under his thumb in the first episode and to do it he is very willing to kill thousands. The rest aren't nice either, but Ainz's faction is probably worse than the rest. Also because the others are bad too, that doesn't make him any better. He also has the power to achieve his goals, which puts him above the other villains as the *main* villain. Also in the perception of outsiders, anything his faction does is Ainz doing himself because he's responsible as their leader.
Well, you have to consider that none of the surrounding nations are that good either. E-Rantel is too small and would be annexed by the other nations if the Sorcerer Kingdom didn't. Re-Estize is stagnant and ineffectual due to bickering nobles and an ineffectual king. The Holy Kingdom is not unified and discrimimates against demihumans. The Slane Theocracy hunts them and blackmails the descendents of players to work for them. The Baharut Empire is an expansionist militaristic autocracy. And most demihumans live in scattered communiries with terrible conditions. Nazarick is growing its power, yet everywhere they annex prospers, all are welcome and even crime is reigned in. So if Ainz has to plot and play politics to grow his domain, that is fair enough. He is limiting the damage to the nations and the resulting loss of life that a militaristic approach would have, because he has the power to pull it off. Holding those lands afterwards is a bigger problem, especially if the people rebel, which has been the undoing of many empires in real world history. So I think that is why he chose this method.
Limiting death and loss of life? Heh. Sure. Tell that to *[SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS]* the 150,000+ Re-Estize peasant conscripts on the Katze plains used as fuel to summon cosmic horrors or slaughtered by said horrors (only fucks Ainz gives is he broke the record of how many are summoned at once). Or the populace of the Holy Kingdom that gets subjected to Nazi Germany-level atrocities by Demiurge's beastman army. Or the beastmen who didn't want to join said army on whom said army made a practice run for their atrocities against the Holy Kingdom. Or the Quagoa, who after getting slaughtered en masse by Shalltear, are forced on Ainz's orders to commit genocide on themselves until their total population is reduced to just 10,000 individuals (and since the male warriors were decimated most of the victims are females and children; Ainz gives no fucks) to psychologically break them and then forcibly enslaved. Yeah, if you're on his good side, living under Ainz Ooal Gown is pretty chill. But if you have the audacity to disagree, or worse, the misfortune of living under the rule of one who disagrees, then you are beyond fucked and the best you can hope for is a swift death that will NOT result in your soul being used as food or fuel.
Alexis Perron And your body made into a cheap labor drone. His goal is the prosperity of Nazarick and to attract any other guild members in the new world. But he is very utilitarian on how he goes about, after all, he is an Overlord, not a paladin. Touch Me would be the dedicated hero of the guild, Ulbert would be busy being mustache twirling eeeeeevil, Yamaiko would try to spread culture and so on. But because Ainz is in a world with no aid, one that is openly hostile to demihumans, between big trigger happy nations and his emotions remain detached, it makes a lot if sense how his survival instinct and rationality are guiding him towards this path. What comes of it when and if some schemes unravel will be fascinating indeed, especially if the legendary heroes mobilize against him.
Potential spoilers for anime watchers ahead. >His Moral Alignment is -500 No shit he's not a hero. But main villain is a bit of a stretch. Ainz seems to just be a true neutral, while his alignment is based off of his ingame character. Nazarick as a whole is mostly evil, with the exceptions of Sebas Tian, Cocytus, Hamsuke, and Gargantua, two of which are neutral, one is slightly good (due to his honor as a warrior). Even Aura, Mare, and Pandora's Actor are evil, with -100, -100, and -50 respectively. AFAIK there's only three confirmed -500s, being Demiurge, Albedo, and Ainz, with Narberal at a close -400. Ainz is mainly motivated to find out if any of his friends have also come to the New World, and also to protect the inhabitants of Nazarick and Carne Village. That's the main reason why he does what he does- he makes Momon into a big known figure and then uses said figure to pacify E-Rantel's citizens when he conquers it and forms the Sorcerous Kingdom. When he goes to the Dwarven nation and trades for their runesmiths, he's looking to use both what Nazarick already has and knows from YGGDRASIL and to see if the runes of the new world can apply to them so that he can better deal with World Items/other players. Same with Nfirea's talent and his grandmother's alchemy. He's also just been in general traveling to many different parts of the world with relatively high population of sentient beings, looking for either his friends or for the one who brainwashed Shalltear. (who he doesn't realize was the Theocracy) Also, Ainz doesn't actually 'hate' Evileye, dislike maybe, but he was simply pissed when he heard that Blue Rose nearly killed Entoma. Same with Narberal...though she probably hates Evileye for being 'human' (if only she knew). SPOILERS END SPOILERS END TL;DR Ainz isn't motivated by 'evil' reasons, his actions are just purely cold and ruthless. I would say calculated, but as we all know, Ainz is a blundering average IQ salesman with a ridiculous amount of luck and power, along with a lot of loyal people who are also equally overpowered.
I always felt that the conflict that Ainz has with his inner self is funny but majority of the actions that he pulled was done with a clear conscience. All the deaths are pure collateral damage for the grad scheme that Demiurge and Albedo has planned which they would have said his plans. He tries his best to keep the collateral on a low but he'll do what is needed to be done if it shows results
Yea his luck is really good. I wonder if his backstory data helps him in some way. The npc characters apparently get their personalities partly from their character description. I wonder if Ainz gets anything from his. I haven't seen it verified in either the LN or the anime yet. He might be different being a player character. But if not his character backstory might be affecting him in some way, making everything he does a plan for future domination weither he wants to or not. Or making him care about the great tomb more than he normally would. Or giving him some personality traits he does not know about or something to that effect. Not sure if we get that in the future but either way his power and the power of the great tomb is so immense that there is not much he could do that would not work out if he was even half trying.
i agree, im anime only and just watching it feels like in the second part of this season information has been condensed and rushed which makes me feel like something has been missing and i dont feel as connected with what is going on. Im still enjoying watching but at the end of each episode i find myself going "thats it?" and feeling a need to find more information on what just happened to add more detail (mainly the Sebas and Tuare storyline).
there's way too much stuff bro. for example there was a hell of a lot more buildup in that scene that led evileye to get wet for ainz instead of love at first sight.
That line when Evil Eye said "but my heart stopped beating long time ago" actually implies that she is undead, which is later clarified in volume 13.5(which is basically a side story).
If I recall properly, Fluder is not introduced yet. Btw if season 3 is incoming, he's part of it. We could reasonably think that it will cover tome 7 up to tome 9, and, without spoiler, his role will took part in between, not before.
LawlessGuns he was angry because he thought she had killed entoma that's all. Sure he would have killed her if entoma was dead. But now he doesn't specially hate, you seems to forget the level of indifference he has toward killing. Him letting entoma kill evileye doesn't mean he hates evileye.
He did not want to kill her because he hates Evileyes. He just fears that Evileyes suspect him. Killing is the last resort solution for that, but effective. Ainz doesn't care to kill anyone that not related to him.
teamvjmck blah He's actually evil, honestly. Maybe Lawful Evil? He's evil but he covers that up with his benevolence and kindness to those who serve him. A 2nd party would see him as a benevolent and kind ruler while the third party would see him as an evil being no matter how you look at him. The acts he commit proves he _IS_ *evil.* But at least not to those who serve under him. But either way, it's just a matter of perspective. Even the PDL says that they (Nazarick, and in turn, Ainz) could be considered _EVIL* in nature.
The impression I got was that he was furious at the thought of her fugging the bug, but came to his senses and kind of brushed it off once he realized Entoma was alive and more or less well.
It would be very funny later on, since Pandora mostly does the role of momon, that Pandora starts returning the feelings of evileye in his own weird way.
I cannot say he's a Villian Villian, if you attack him he'll fuckin destroy you. He'll do everything just to make benefits for Nazarick. He's loyal to the guild and always prioritize to protect his people because to him he treats them as children.
The discussion between Ainz and Demiurge was part of the final battle. I could see the introduction of the Imperial wizard as being a part of the final scenes of the season, like Gazef discovering Brain at the end of Season one. And the term to describe Renner, the Golden Princess, is sociopath.
I'll say it again. Madhouse halfassed Overlord. 13 is *not* enough for them to be adapting three volumes worth of light novel content. Anyway. Seeing Zero get his head kicked in was just as good as I had thought. Never ceases to amaze me how he thought he was the strongest person in the country.
Reingnus Not really. There are way stronger Humans than he is. He is just one of the middle ground guys. I believe Paradyne is so far the strongest Human.
Paradyne may be stronger (well, he is a magic caster and that puts him almost inmediately above), but what I said was that he is of the strongerst humans, not the strongest per se. The fact that a few are stronger doesn´t mean much or change the fact that he is on the higher end. Not many (humans), can beat him in a straight duel. At least in what has been seen.
Zero getting his head kicked in was just as good as you thought? what did you read? he got sliced down and literally exploded like a boulder in the ln... how is what happened to him in the anime more badass than that?
Regarding Ainz getting pissed at Evileye, maybe it was in the LN that it was his emotion suppression, but I'll be surprised that if it wasn't just Ainz being able to keep his cool, since neither the sound effect no the glow that we the audience only see go off. And to be fair, it feels like you're not giving anime only people enough credit with noticing things. A lot of what you mentioned 'anime only' people wouldn't notice this time seems pretty obvious, as an anime only person myself, if they've been following along this far. Stuff like the flag and Albedo a couple eps back, sure, but clear stuff like in this episode...
my thought was that he had to be sure that they didnt kill entoma, and then once evil eye said they didnt kill her, then he had a wave of relief go over him, and he was able to go back to acting. but nabe is more hardcore and stilll couldnt calm down until ainz gave her the classic cough * remmeber we are acting cough*.
I was going to write this same thing..he didn't get auto calm down...he calmed down because she wasn't dead. Also the hate isn't there, just miss reading a crush as her being cautious and apprehensive.
Yeah, but while there are some gems in the ground like the shows you picked there is an endless amount of dirt that doesn't really follow the source material. Studios just need to put in effort, but that doesn't mean they always will.
Sorry if this takes down your passion, but I think it's gonna be extremely difficult to have a Season 3. As Volume 7 to Volume 10 is too savage/brutal/gory for audiences to watch in Anime. It is gonna be a contest for loyalty of Overlord fans, because of Nazarick's Evil deeds.... xD
Wow I just stumbled across this channel and I am actually a bit surprised, you have a very clear and precise way of getting your points across. To be completely honest I did not expect this and was pleasantly surprised. I will be sure to watch more of your videos.
Actually, the fact that Ains do care about the guardians (like a father) whas the First thing to come to mi mind at this scene. For me It whas totally confirmed in the scene previous the fight with Shaltear, where he mentions that he didn't wanted to see the guardians killing each other (How cute ^-^)
Well I consider Ainz the same as Julius Caesar, Napoleon, Genghis Khan and many more. If you are some one that’s interested in history or politics you might understand. The funny thing is that they are very bad and sick peoples if you just look at what they did in the war. Yet many still consider them as hero. They’re conquerors they the demon of their enemy and other country. So normally tv shows don’t depict character like that. They’re either very good or very bad.So people can easily relate to them with out much problems with understanding their moral backgrounds. Yet overlord did depict Ainz in this way. Some one that actually has the mind set of a conqueror. Some one that will invade other country just for his own country’s benefit. Ainz wants to create a utopia by dictatorship and he will destroy any country or people that try’s to stop him. That’s pretty much the whole idea of the LN at the moment. In fact in the end if he succeeds the world will definitely benefit from this. Because he wants to create a great nation with great wealth and peace. But that doesn’t change that he kill at least hundreds millions of people and feels no sympathy as well. He’s not something that can be recognized as good or even human any more. One of the most important things for people to understand before continue overlord. Is that this story is never about good or evil. It is about strong groups devouring weaker groups. That’s why a protagonist like Ainz could even exist in the first place. Think of it in this way. “Bad peoples does succeed in real world and the world does benefit from them. “
The Good Luck Ranger I’m just being honest. That’s just what I feel about history and ruler. I don’t think Ainz is a good person. He even said that himself in the LN. But why does that mean he needs to be stop? Ainz does kill people and do very evil stuff. But they are all necessary to create order and peace. Many probably don’t like to think of it that way. But history of man kind are often very evil. Many hero are in fact villain at the same time. I only see Ainz killing people for conquering the world and making a stronger and more peaceful country. I don’t see how is that different from many other kings in history. As long as I still understand his plan and it will definitely bring more benefit to the world. I’m still pretty much okay with Ainz being the protagonist.
The funny thing is, ainz is really only the main villain if you decide to side with the other kingdoms. Total brainwashed hard coded loyalty aside, if you asked anyone in nazarick if they thought ainz was the bad guy, they of course would say no. Because his entire focus is on protecting his people, ensuring their safety, and in addition to that, finding other players if they exist. He also personally rarely descends into cruelty, and not for its own sake (unlike demiurge who REALLY enjoys being as evil as possible with what his orders are) His evilest acts, especially in the stuff covered by the anime, are the fates of the workers and even that is less evil and more pragmatic for the most part. Yes they are terrible fates, but in general they are to again, help his people. The two lovers who are permanent hives are going to suffer for a very long time, but its to provide housing and hatcheries for his subjects, the paladin is being tortured so ainz can get a handle on cleric magic and how it works, the eternally eaten by cockroaches are there to be food for his people, etc etc etc. They arent suffering for the sake of suffering, they are suffering to gain his people benefits. And keep in mind these people broke into his home to kill everything there and loot it to the bedrock. They even had the chance to back out when they got all that loot from the outer buildings. They chose to keep going. You only really pity them because the story spends so much time establishing them as characters. If they were just faceless adventurers whose names we dont even know, I bet at most it would get an "Ouch, that was brutal" and move along.
I'm a little split on Ainz's supposed upcoming death. On one hand, I feel like something unexpected is going to happen that kills Ainz. On the other hand, I'm fairly sure that, should that happen, the entire world will feel the full wrath of Nazarick, hence why it's possible that his death is faked and Maruyama is just trolling us. But still, Maruyama has stated that Ainz "will definitely die next volume."
Evileye falling for Ainz was very surprising to say the least. My first reaction was 'NO NOOO FUCK NOOOO". Because i think she is such a cool character, i don't want to see her reduced to "waifu" status. But... damn was she adorable.
Ainz is neither the hero nor the villain. It really depends on whose perspective you're talking about, he's actually a very good ruler to the people he rules, even the human citizens and eventually becomes quite popular with the people he conquered. On the other hand he's very brutal to his enemies and his servants does some incredibly evil shit at times. Overlord is the typical isekai/hero's story told from the perspective of the villain. What made it as good as it is is that it's quite grey. Ainz is both a great and at times, kind ruler - and a cold tyrant. I would actually go as far as to say that to certain people Ainz is a hero. He doesn't discriminate, he isn't cruel for cruelty's sake and he doesn't treat the poor and unfortunate as playthings.
I love that you take such great care with what you say in order to avoid spoilers. I absolutely despise spoilers so I take great delight in the fact that I can go ahead and watch your video without any fear of it. Thumbs up! Subbed.
Hi chibi are u excited for Goblin Slayer anime because I read the manga and I love it especially they have a guy who looks just like Guts and he is a badass when he shows up and also does anybody else read Goblin Slayer just wondering(Also just want 2 say 2 people before u check this manga or light novel out just a warning if u can’t handle Berserk then U will not like Goblin Slayer and also just want to say Berserk manga is my favorite manga of all time)
As a LN reader, I am REALLY enjoying the Golden Princess. There are just so many things about her personality that simply could not be portrayed properly by text on a page, and now that we have images on screen and a voice actor delivering the lines we can finally see her craziness in its full glory!
here some clues: - where Demiurge flys the story is going rly fast still they put this in and also him asking if it is ok to do this - the sudden adding of a new attack point from demiurge!!! - the one to hire momon - the sudden stop at the plan meeting again it is rly strange looking how everything else is going rly fast
does it really make Ainz evil for him to care about his people? i mean the story is taking place in a midieval fantasy setting. you weren't evil for enacting conquest. you where evil if you misstreated your people. Despite Ainz interesting and more sinister way of handling certain situations, in the end as he said himself, everyone under him will prosper. say what you want about the lizardmen, but the truth was that they had many problems prior to meeting Ainz. they had a shortage of food, they where seperated into different tribes that all had grudges against each other from their prior war, and they themselves did not see them last for long. Under Ainz they will live as a unified lizardmen tribe. Ainz is trying to take over the world, but not in the typical fashion of just destroying everything. here we have a charecter who for once, wants to properly lead his own nation the way he knows how. he wants to become a better king (as he himself notes several times). the only reason he saved evileye was to be able to stay as the adventurer in town without suspicion to gather more info. had he killed evileye he would not be in the same position he is now.
Mortjep9531 well true midieval was tougher compared to modern world. So many forget that. There was times when conquering and slaughtering others country. Is actually something being supported by the general public not just because the ruler. People have different standards back then. If the public feels they are under the threat. The chance of them wanting the ruler to eliminate other innocent people is actually very high. The point of villain and hero. Is that hero is some one that support the idea of the public. While villains are people that go against the idea of the public. If you kill thousands of innocent people. Yet you doing this for your country and that’s what the general public wants. Technically that still makes you a hero.
FakeBunny12 his modern world is sad and painful and terrifying, his world is literally the aftermath after WW3 broke out and Mega-corps rules the world, citizens are working like slaves for them, the rich have fresh air but the poor have acid rain and toxic air. Literally his old world is hell. Ain't is simply trying to create a utopia where everyone is equally worthless to him :)
yo watup chibs..! i wanna ask if in the future you can do summary reviews on entire light novel volumes for us readers. i would really love to hear your overall opinions and thoughts on whats been going on in the novels.
Can you help me figure out Golden Princess and Climb? That shit im still trying to figure out. I do t read mangas so been on the shows to add it all up.
I loved her smile, evil characters in animes always bring something new to the table that you just don't get anywhere else. Reading the manga or light novel is great and all but that sheer shock factor when you have villains animated is the best :P
1. Evileye is concerned about her 12 years old body, which cannot bear any child for Momon... xD 2. As a vampire who have lived for 250 years, this is the first time Evileye feeling heart beating, which means she found true love...xD 3. Evileye regrets not learning any girls' tricks on men before. She heard a lot in clubs.
Grave Rob It's absolutely right. He mentioned that he has no desired for sex anymore. To think of. Albedo was described as World Class beauty. I mean anyone who saw her tells she is the most beauty. How can Ainz endure that?
I see you Chibi, rocking that Pokémon shirt. When I first watched that scene of Evileye falling in love I bust out laughing so hard I had to rewatch it again just to have the same thing happen. 😛
First comment that I have read that thinks like me. He is definitely a anti-hero and a capitalist. He has never killed a hero, unless they are in his way. He killed the Lizardmen, but revived them. He killed villains. He only does things if they give him something in return, like the investment of the Lizardmen. He will protect him as long as he gets something in return.
@ Void walker - Not really. In the first episode he realized that he is no longer in a game, but in a different world. So, he goes on to state that their might be other people out there from his guild. Of course he really does not know if that is true or not, but hopes. He realizes that he can only do this if he gets the goods and finances for it. He then develops a system to get financials and to get his name out there. So, he really is a capitalist/hero/anti-hero.
I feel like calling Ains evil, is like calling any other conqueror or king evil. He cares for his people, and thus works to make sure they have the best future possible. Just a king and his subjects.
Ainz isn't good or evil, his main concern is ensuring the safty of the characters and guild he and his friends made. He's not a good person but he generally isn't needlessly cruel.
*More of a Anti-Hero to me, also can't to see Evileye's face and I find her really cute.* Also she's very lucky because Narberal looked really close to smashing her skull in.
Not an anti-hero at all, an anti-hero would be more like Vegeta during the Cell Saga, Ainz is pretty much a villain to the "heroes" of this universe. In the next arc he is 100% the MAIN villain.
I wonder when we're going to see the white haired girl from the beginning, and Sebas took that hit like it was nothing 😂 , and I probably missed this or forgot but didn't Ainz use resurrection magic in the lizardman arc?
.... after seeing ep13 .... If I think about starting to read the LN now, can I safly start with the 3. book or is it better to start of with the second or even first book...?
Start with the first one! (and if you just want to read what is going on next, you will have to start from volume 7... anime season 1 and 2 covered the 6 first novel).
I don't think that Ainz hates her though. He didn't had his status effect turned on so I think he just kept his cool because he found out that she isn't dead and he had to agree that it was natural for the 3 of them to fight the bug lady, she was eating a human.
LawlessGuns thats in the LN though, people should start seeing animes and their respective LNs as 2 different entities because they usually vary quite a fair bit
The heck do you even mean? The Anime is an adaptation of the LN, unless it's spelled out otherwise you are most assured things are the same in one medium as they are in the other. To think otherwise would be hella weird.
Just type overlord free lightnovel and you can read for free. Skythewood has till book 9 so the rest 10, 11, & 12 you need to download yourself. I recommend you download the full version via pdf because it contain many awsome art in it which is cool and it give a bit of lore about the character and their stat. So why wait?
Q Plus in the episode I'm unsure I just rewatched it recently like a few days ago but I know he was in one of the ending episode maybe in 12 or the 13 I don't remember if there was a 13th but I know he was introduce at the end of the episode he was with the crown Prince talking how he wants the mage Elder to get some information on hines's characters like his Adventure persona and also his castle
I imagine that once Renner becomes an area guardian or landed on a position similar to that, Climb would die and be reborn into some sort of an undead (similar to WN's Brain). At first he despaired that he becomes something inhuman despite being granted tremendous power and abilities but Renner still accepts him. I mean he looks up to Renner and believes in Renner's pure heart and pledges her loyalty once more to Renner, effectively landed on the role that Renner wants him to. Renner then reveals to Climb that she made a pact with Ainz, becoming their representative in exchange of resurrecting CLimb. The Blue Rose would feel touched of Renner's love towards Climb despite his transformation, solidifyng Lakyus's thoughts of the knight and princess romance stories. Climb later learns that not all of Nazarick are evil after finding out that Sebas is a part of nazarick and how nazarick has been treating Tsuare. This makes him changes his view of Nazarick and believes that allying with Ainz would be the best course for Renner, and do not blame her for turning him into a grotesque. Just my speculation
That my whole is climb loyal to the princess or his belief of the princess. Because if you look at no matter what her personality was she is the one who saved him
the title has nothing to do with the content being discuss? evenif with all the points you said. In my opinion, they still couldn't justify Ainz is an evil person. Maybe I got clickbaited. His decision and reaction is actually very human. Firstly, everyone places their family/friends above other strangers. secondly, his wants to keep his image as a leader not because he like to(pretty sure he is a salaryman in real life), he did this because he is the only player that the NPCs look up to, and he doesn't want to disappoint his NPCs. Just like a fther want to keep the cool image in front of kids. In many points in the anime and the novel, he always want to learn how to be a better leader. Thirdly, the anime did a pretty good job, because except from the missing characters, all the other points you mentioned is in the anime. Maybe most people would missed it, but it is kind of obvious to those who actually 'read' the anime, instead of looking at the pictures.
tragedyofwind well Ainz is not human anymore. He’s still has the same mind. But to him human is something close to animal. So is human guilty for stepping on a groups of ants yet feels nothing about it.
As an anime only I don't know how far the light novel is, but I think I know how Ainz is going to turn this to his advantage. As Momon he will fight and "defeat" Demiurgos since Evileye knows that he is too strong. When Momon has proven his strength Pandora's Actor will appear acting as Ainz (or taking his place as Momon) and stage a fight where Momon gets utterly crushed with beyond a doubt a superior enemy. This would devastate the morale of the humans, or at least most of them. Ainz's goal is to rule over everything, and one of the easiest ways to achieve that is through fear. If he has to show his power from time to time and blow up a village or two, so be it. P.S. Who would think that Ainz is a hero? It was evident from the first or second episode of the first season that his goal is to enslave all of this new world, because it "could be entertaining". That's the whole premise of the show.
Backon Lazer Considering you haven't read the LNs, you're speculations are fairly good, though they aren't quite in the right order. I won't spoil anything about his fight with Demiurge, but Pandora's Actor isn't a part of it. He does have Pandora's Actor be his doppelgänger as Momon in Volume 7, and in I think 10 or 11 as well, though Pandora's Actor doesn't fight in any of them. As for demoralizing humanity, he does that at the conclusion of Volume 9, when he becomes a real evil overlord (beginning his global conquest) and demonstrates his true power with a single super-tier spell. Also, in regards to your statement about his conversation with Demiurge, I think his response about conquering the world was only intended for Demiurge's ears as a way to maintain his image. The only thing he actually seems to care about is protecting Nazarick and finding any other human players that are in that world.
Yea, I meant that Ainz will fight Demiurge as Momon, I might have not made that clear. I'm kind of bummed to hear that Pandora's doesn't fight, since Ainz said that he's super strong (although pretty uncool, lol). I guess being an evil overlord aligns with his goal of finding other players, since they would definitely seek him out. Either to defeat him as heroes or to join him as villains.
Backon Lazer Yeah, I wish that Pandora's Actor would get to fight. Given that his gimmick is transforming into other people, I'm curious to see what his fighting style would be like. But I doubt that would ever end up happening.
Backon Lazer you came really close! Except he has Said that he doesn’t just want to Reign with power and fear. And momon is actually there to keep the morallity there
How is he a main villain? He's somewhat relatively incompetent with national diplomacy and political maneuvering, but so far in the LN, everything works itself out. And if we're judging by Ainz's main goal, then its to create a nation for all races, demihumans and all. How is that evil?
It isn't really. If you look at the world they're all in Ainz's rule really seems like the best available alternative, and the other empires aren't just going to roll over and die. In many ways it reminds me of Code Geass in that horrific terrible things are done by the protagonist, but that doesn't make him a villain, just someone who's using the best of many bad options.
Erebus Von Mori yup. i agree with you on all that about Ainz. I personally don't like to believe in that violence for greater good crap. its rhetoric for individuals justifying their power. But Lelouch was definitely a good martyr. Best case scenario, he bought a generation or two of peace for his sister.
I believe in it, I'm just aware that so have a lot of other people and most of them were wrong, which is why I don't act on it, because I could be wrong. Lelouch was a protagonist that got it right, I think Ainz is too.
Erebus Von Mori The LN has fallen into a comfortable habit of Ainz steam rolling everybody. Which I don't mind, but I mainly signed up for revealing past player factions, or more hints about current player factions if they're around anymore. But it seems like that may not happen for a few novels still.
badwith names ainz is kind to everyone who is under his rule. but to those whos not, he doesnt give a shit, like at LN vol9 where he killed tens of thousand people just to test his magic and then asking for celebration lol.
Sorry for the long rant but... I've only read your title and description so I may be wrong but I think this POV is a little narrow. I think that it's wrong to say that Ainz cares only for the NPCs of Nazarick. He cares for the entirety of Nazarick, including all humans who swear loyalty to it. He doesn't love them, his racial class will erase all his emotions immediately, leaving him cold and calculating but with a deep sense of pride and loyalty. You can see this when he goes after Clementine. He could have just taken her back to Nazarick and torture her for information. But he still avenges the deaths of the people who welcomed him in their group. To classify him as a hero or villain is to paint him in a Popeye-esque image, where Popeye is the paragon lawful good and Bluto is the renegade chaotic evil. Overlord tries to blend realism with fantasy and that's what makes it good. Most people don't just swing one way or the other. You have intrigue, lies, pain, objectives, agendas, love, loyalty etc. To be honest, he isn't evil or good. He just wishes to find out if his guild mates have made it to the New World by spreading the name of Ainz and Nazarick. Unfortunately the NPC interpreted this declaration as being his wish to take over the world and will not shy from any method to make sure this happens...
Victor Unbea did you read the character sheet from the novel? It says ainz is extremely evil. Also massacring tens of thousand of people just for testing his magic and curiousity, i say thats pretty evil. But thats what i like, its refreshing to see an MC who is not a Hero.
His character sheet is from the game. He is in a different world, he even recognizes that. He knows that he left his world behind, along with the gaming world. He is just curious to find if anyone from earth that played the game is in this world with him. He is essentially a anti-hero and a capitalist, or what Victor Unbea said.
@ Stephen Jenkins - Ainz is not evil. He is a Lich, and humanoids only know the evil kind in that world. The character card is his character card in the game, not in the world they are in. Facts: 1.) He saved a village from being wiped out. 2.) He helped them build defenses, and gave them a goblin army. Then what about the lizard village? 3.) He did not wipe them out. He resurrected the chiefs and probably some of their warriors as well. It was a battle. He won, they lost. It is common in that type of age. 4.) When giving out rewards, in season 3 episode 1, Solution asks for innocent humans, but is denied by Ainz. What about the city, the NPCs have killed citizens? 5.) No they have not killed a civillian. Episode 13 of season 2, all the citizens are in shelters, put in their by monsters. Well what about the soldiers? 6.) It is a battle, soldiers are the only ones that get hurt or killed. It is called battle. What about the fight with Evil Eye and her subordinates? 7.) Well the NPCs are monsters and would be attacked just because they are monsters. They have a right to defend themselves. Then you have the fact that they are programmed from the beginning to be evil, since they are evil in the game world. They only think about conquering and humans are little beings to crush. 8.) There have been occasions that they think highly of humans. Saving their lives and killing evil humans. Have you seen the newest episode? He is not evil, he has no intentions on being evil. The NPCs interpret his thoughts and actions wrong, because they are programmed to think of conquering and ruling in evil ways. In fact the NPCs are changing. They are no longer just programs, but have become living beings in that world. They have already made reasonable thoughts and actions. 1.) Sebas saved Tuara and has taken out part of the underground crime lords. 2.) Sebas thinks highly of Tuara, even though she is human.
He would only discover it when it is too late. Either too interested on her to care about it (Amano Yukiteru anyone?) or simply when he has no chance to escape anymore. Honestly? She is sick but is doing her best to ensure that he's free enough and not chain him to a basement foundation, so maybe she deserves a bit of love, that's a lot of dedication.

I feel bad for Evileye.... Ainz hates her
hi, i guess
Yo
Chibi Reviews i agree
People will need to see vol 7 for them to 100% accept that ainz is no Hero but a true villain.
edit:
Also Fluder was in the intermission, if they have to introduce him it will probably be at the end as a set up for a potential s3
Chibi Reviews as anime only im getting whiplash from all these twists and turns! #seasonthree
anime skipped the part about what ainz said when he regained shalltear, but he basically said he wants the people who made him kill what is basically his daughter...he wants them, their loved ones, everything they hold dear...and make them regret ever touching nazarick
bigles025 why didn’t they add that it’s so bad ass
@@christinetirimon4232 There are many things the anime has skipped, most of them Ainz' monologue which usually consists of 4-6 paragraphs of "what ifs"
He still was able to bring her back to life but still damn
I mean... since when is he a hero?
lol took people 2 seasons to find hes not a hero.
I read the title and I was like "No shit Sherlock!"
Sandalphon same
He's not only an evil
He is a great calamity that reeks into the world.
Yet you be surprise to see the people who read 12 seasons and said "Wow I'm gonna drop this novel because he's an asshole now"
Buck Forte Cervant its fun to see how the badguys rule the world for once.
Ainz is the Main Villain I want to succeed..
Frankly, I despise all "heroes of light". I spit in Yoda's (Star Wars) face for his views on death, while I _completely_ agree with the views of Lord Ainz (Overlord) and Lady Sunako (Shiki).
@@DarkAdonisVyers Shiki is probably one of the best horror novels I've read.
@@DarkAdonisVyers your a sick man that needs to be watched your probably time bomb waiting to go off.😐
@@redomnitrix6834 Then live in fear that no one is "watching" me.
@@DarkAdonisVyers 😨😨
I would describe Ainz as an “Anti-Villain”. Unlike a pure villain (who fights for evil for their own selfish motives) or an anti-hero (who fights for good for selfish/evil reasons), an anti-villain plays the villain’s game for selfless/good reasons.
Like thanos
snape ?
I do not get that at all from him sometimes I wonder if people read the same thing he is fucked up and has a lot of unnecessary bodies.
Ainz is the main villain... Momon the main hero
Plot twist: THEY ARE THE SAME PERSON.
@@hebinpun1605 no fucking shit sherlock
immortal men nigga you just played yourself
What? No way! 😅
Ainz be roleplaying.
Sebas "Whew that was close. I guess I was a *little* stronger"
me: my guy be bullshiting
By a little, he meant another galaxy.
DevilButt Yeah, no kidding
DevilButt Sebas "I was a little stronger."
Casually one shots the guy...
Dstorm12 With his hands behind his back. Major disrespect.
As he casually takes the dudes strongest hit and takes no damage then procedes to 1 shot him.
I mean his friends made these characters. It's probably like someone murdering your best friends daughter or something
@@goatskin4487 it's a show and he tried to give an image of how Ainz felt
@@mmmmmmmmmm729 it funny you say that because there are people and I read the comments. On this show that take it too far. Hell on reddit I think or some polls they're on there like f*** the children they did it all deserve to die may become fodder for them. But get mad when someone calls you edgy or something. Sometimes people take things too far. I learned that from a app called Zing book. Where you read manga and stuff. You can have comments on while you are reading and one day plague of edgy degenerate on they're was taking it too far.
blade wind some people will just take it too far but it’s still nice people enjoy this series and having fun watching/reading it
SPOILERS FOR VOLUME 13
I love how Demi admiration for Ainz skyrocketing in volume 11 and 13
Mathias Emborg I'm waiting for Calca the living weapon ;)
He's not necessarily the main villain. If he were, then he wouldn't bother presenting himself as someone malevolent towards the lizard people. If anything, Ainz is a rising key player in a world where it's politics are already dominated by villains.
Yeah, an anti-hero and capitalist.
He is a villain. It's difficult to see him as a villain by many because the show is in his perspective.
Good and evil is a man made concept, and is highly subjective.
It all really depends on your definition of villain, and to look at it at a (mostly) (maybe?) objective way you could say he's just a businessman 'father' who's a tad overprotective, and absolutely ruthless in said business, Of course, that's just my (maybe mostly?) objective point of view.
His faction still tortures, his followers are sadistic and think all humans are inferior insects. A lot of them like to see humans suffer and despair. They experiment on humans. He lets that happen with his knowledge at times. They, Ainz included, care very little or at all, if innocent people die when they try to get things done, with some minor exceptions like SebasTian, and that's not even always. Ainz doesn't have empathy, and doesn't always give mercy, even if he can. His mercy also means a swift death, not giving them their lives. Unless it can benefit him, only thinking of himself. Any perceived kindness is a by-product or a means for his own ends. They even fabricated an evil for him so he can earn people's trust with Momon. He also wants to dominate the world and put it under his thumb in the first episode and to do it he is very willing to kill thousands.
The rest aren't nice either, but Ainz's faction is probably worse than the rest. Also because the others are bad too, that doesn't make him any better. He also has the power to achieve his goals, which puts him above the other villains as the *main* villain.
Also in the perception of outsiders, anything his faction does is Ainz doing himself because he's responsible as their leader.
Well, you have to consider that none of the surrounding nations are that good either. E-Rantel is too small and would be annexed by the other nations if the Sorcerer Kingdom didn't. Re-Estize is stagnant and ineffectual due to bickering nobles and an ineffectual king. The Holy Kingdom is not unified and discrimimates against demihumans. The Slane Theocracy hunts them and blackmails the descendents of players to work for them. The Baharut Empire is an expansionist militaristic autocracy. And most demihumans live in scattered communiries with terrible conditions.
Nazarick is growing its power, yet everywhere they annex prospers, all are welcome and even crime is reigned in. So if Ainz has to plot and play politics to grow his domain, that is fair enough. He is limiting the damage to the nations and the resulting loss of life that a militaristic approach would have, because he has the power to pull it off.
Holding those lands afterwards is a bigger problem, especially if the people rebel, which has been the undoing of many empires in real world history. So I think that is why he chose this method.
i thought that E-Rantel was just a city/town of Re-Estize kingdom
Domen Boh For now, wait and see :)
Limiting death and loss of life? Heh. Sure. Tell that to *[SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS]* the 150,000+ Re-Estize peasant conscripts on the Katze plains used as fuel to summon cosmic horrors or slaughtered by said horrors (only fucks Ainz gives is he broke the record of how many are summoned at once). Or the populace of the Holy Kingdom that gets subjected to Nazi Germany-level atrocities by Demiurge's beastman army. Or the beastmen who didn't want to join said army on whom said army made a practice run for their atrocities against the Holy Kingdom. Or the Quagoa, who after getting slaughtered en masse by Shalltear, are forced on Ainz's orders to commit genocide on themselves until their total population is reduced to just 10,000 individuals (and since the male warriors were decimated most of the victims are females and children; Ainz gives no fucks) to psychologically break them and then forcibly enslaved.
Yeah, if you're on his good side, living under Ainz Ooal Gown is pretty chill. But if you have the audacity to disagree, or worse, the misfortune of living under the rule of one who disagrees, then you are beyond fucked and the best you can hope for is a swift death that will NOT result in your soul being used as food or fuel.
Alexis Perron And your body made into a cheap labor drone. His goal is the prosperity of Nazarick and to attract any other guild members in the new world. But he is very utilitarian on how he goes about, after all, he is an Overlord, not a paladin. Touch Me would be the dedicated hero of the guild, Ulbert would be busy being mustache twirling eeeeeevil, Yamaiko would try to spread culture and so on. But because Ainz is in a world with no aid, one that is openly hostile to demihumans, between big trigger happy nations and his emotions remain detached, it makes a lot if sense how his survival instinct and rationality are guiding him towards this path. What comes of it when and if some schemes unravel will be fascinating indeed, especially if the legendary heroes mobilize against him.
KaiserAfini can you explain more about Slain Theocracy blackmailing the descendants of the previous players?I don't remember reading that part
Potential spoilers for anime watchers ahead.
>His Moral Alignment is -500
No shit he's not a hero. But main villain is a bit of a stretch. Ainz seems to just be a true neutral, while his alignment is based off of his ingame character. Nazarick as a whole is mostly evil, with the exceptions of Sebas Tian, Cocytus, Hamsuke, and Gargantua, two of which are neutral, one is slightly good (due to his honor as a warrior). Even Aura, Mare, and Pandora's Actor are evil, with -100, -100, and -50 respectively. AFAIK there's only three confirmed -500s, being Demiurge, Albedo, and Ainz, with Narberal at a close -400.
Ainz is mainly motivated to find out if any of his friends have also come to the New World, and also to protect the inhabitants of Nazarick and Carne Village. That's the main reason why he does what he does- he makes Momon into a big known figure and then uses said figure to pacify E-Rantel's citizens when he conquers it and forms the Sorcerous Kingdom.
When he goes to the Dwarven nation and trades for their runesmiths, he's looking to use both what Nazarick already has and knows from YGGDRASIL and to see if the runes of the new world can apply to them so that he can better deal with World Items/other players. Same with Nfirea's talent and his grandmother's alchemy.
He's also just been in general traveling to many different parts of the world with relatively high population of sentient beings, looking for either his friends or for the one who brainwashed Shalltear. (who he doesn't realize was the Theocracy)
Also, Ainz doesn't actually 'hate' Evileye, dislike maybe, but he was simply pissed when he heard that Blue Rose nearly killed Entoma. Same with Narberal...though she probably hates Evileye for being 'human' (if only she knew).
SPOILERS END
SPOILERS END
TL;DR Ainz isn't motivated by 'evil' reasons, his actions are just purely cold and ruthless. I would say calculated, but as we all know, Ainz is a blundering average IQ salesman with a ridiculous amount of luck and power, along with a lot of loyal people who are also equally overpowered.
weeb trash wouldn't say true neutral... more like chaotic neutral.
weeb trash he anti hero tho.
I always felt that the conflict that Ainz has with his inner self is funny but majority of the actions that he pulled was done with a clear conscience. All the deaths are pure collateral damage for the grad scheme that Demiurge and Albedo has planned which they would have said his plans.
He tries his best to keep the collateral on a low but he'll do what is needed to be done if it shows results
gene rizze he plays the role of ainz as a villain, and plays the role of momonga as a hero.
Yea his luck is really good. I wonder if his backstory data helps him in some way. The npc characters apparently get their personalities partly from their character description. I wonder if Ainz gets anything from his. I haven't seen it verified in either the LN or the anime yet. He might be different being a player character. But if not his character backstory might be affecting him in some way, making everything he does a plan for future domination weither he wants to or not. Or making him care about the great tomb more than he normally would. Or giving him some personality traits he does not know about or something to that effect. Not sure if we get that in the future but either way his power and the power of the great tomb is so immense that there is not much he could do that would not work out if he was even half trying.
For many reasons Overlord needs a 26 episodes and not 13, i loved this episode.
i agree, im anime only and just watching it feels like in the second part of this season information has been condensed and rushed which makes me feel like something has been missing and i dont feel as connected with what is going on. Im still enjoying watching but at the end of each episode i find myself going "thats it?" and feeling a need to find more information on what just happened to add more detail (mainly the Sebas and Tuare storyline).
pecu alex the hunter x hunter treatment 😆 (I love hunter x hunter)
When overlord season 2 is over, could you talk about all the details that the anime cut from the light novel?
Too many to list. You'd do yourself a huge favor to just read the LN (from the beginning ofcourse)
there's way too much stuff bro. for example there was a hell of a lot more buildup in that scene that led evileye to get wet for ainz instead of love at first sight.
Read the light novel
Lots of inner chaos dialogue.
13 episodes, so many reasons for Cut scenes.
That line when Evil Eye said "but my heart stopped beating long time ago" actually implies that she is undead, which is later clarified in volume 13.5(which is basically a side story).
As a LN reader, I expected the whole "puppy and so on" conversation, but that smile, god, just sticked me to my chair. As. Hell.
If I recall properly, Fluder is not introduced yet. Btw if season 3 is incoming, he's part of it. We could reasonably think that it will cover tome 7 up to tome 9, and, without spoiler, his role will took part in between, not before.
As an anime only, that instant bloodlust was very clear. I love that part actually.
But the additional details you gave were good to know
So ironic that the man that Evileye desperately loves is the same man that desperately wants to kill her.
Truly a tragic story.
I don't think he wants to kill her, just pissed off that she nearly killed one if his maids. Now if she did..... Yeah she's dead
HeliosVenomMage64 Like a Greek tragedy filled with irony.
LawlessGuns he never said that he want to kill her, he told entoma she could kill if it is necessary that's not the same.
LawlessGuns he was angry because he thought she had killed entoma that's all. Sure he would have killed her if entoma was dead. But now he doesn't specially hate, you seems to forget the level of indifference he has toward killing. Him letting entoma kill evileye doesn't mean he hates evileye.
He did not want to kill her because he hates Evileyes.
He just fears that Evileyes suspect him. Killing is the last resort solution for that, but effective.
Ainz doesn't care to kill anyone that not related to him.
I feel bad for Succulent's nuts. There isn't any resurrection magic that will bring them back! xD
PersonaQueenKitKat since the beginning of the series
PersonaQueenKitKat I don't think even a 10 tier spell or world item can revive them. XD XD XD
Yelnats Devlin To be fair, Climb used a 10th tier martial arts skill called nutcracker! xD
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Carl Wylie Glad you like it! ^^ xD
*i still like him,hes a fantastic character and my hero*
Yes, I personally love more evil characters. Too many damn goody-goody heroes out there already.
Reaver Vash Agreed.
I don't think he is evil. To humans sure but he is all about his own people.
teamvjmck blah He's actually evil, honestly. Maybe Lawful Evil? He's evil but he covers that up with his benevolence and kindness to those who serve him. A 2nd party would see him as a benevolent and kind ruler while the third party would see him as an evil being no matter how you look at him. The acts he commit proves he _IS_ *evil.* But at least not to those who serve under him. But either way, it's just a matter of perspective. Even the PDL says that they (Nazarick, and in turn, Ainz) could be considered _EVIL* in nature.
Lets realize that Ainz is a real person (in the anime) the others are just NPC that do not matter
It wasn't even his status effect, he just calmed down a bit after hearing that Entoma was still alive.
I think the VA did a pretty good job of expressing the displeasure Ainz felt at that scene
Yeah same
Even Nabe knowing evil eye was in love/had a crush, was apparent when she told Ainz.. hey its probably a different emotion heh heh
The impression I got was that he was furious at the thought of her fugging the bug, but came to his senses and kind of brushed it off once he realized Entoma was alive and more or less well.
He always does a good job
In the LN, Evileye was being jealous of Nabe talking to Ainz, and i thought that was pretty cute, too bad the anime didn't show that
AnimusRHQ they kinda did, but did a poor job conveying it, this was one of the more weaker episodes this season
i think the anime is good, it's the reason that i read the LN in the 1st place but this episode was rushed for sure
It would be very funny later on, since Pandora mostly does the role of momon, that Pandora starts returning the feelings of evileye in his own weird way.
66_greenrunner_77 I’ve legit wrote 2 of my own private fanfics about this concept...I want it so badly
🤣🤣
I cannot say he's a Villian Villian, if you attack him he'll fuckin destroy you. He'll do everything just to make benefits for Nazarick. He's loyal to the guild and always prioritize to protect his people because to him he treats them as children.
The discussion between Ainz and Demiurge was part of the final battle. I could see the introduction of the Imperial wizard as being a part of the final scenes of the season, like Gazef discovering Brain at the end of Season one. And the term to describe Renner, the Golden Princess, is sociopath.
Honestly this is why we needed a full 26episode season. There's so much stuff they skipped or skimmed over.
well in a way i do like that since it make me whant to read the novel even more
Yeh I agree, they need 26 eps not 13 😭
I'll say it again. Madhouse halfassed Overlord. 13 is *not* enough for them to be adapting three volumes worth of light novel content. Anyway. Seeing Zero get his head kicked in was just as good as I had thought. Never ceases to amaze me how he thought he was the strongest person in the country.
SnowyWolborg wtf next week last ep????!!
To be fair, if you don´t factor Nazarit, he is of the strongest humans, so he is not entirely wrong.
Reingnus Not really. There are way stronger Humans than he is. He is just one of the middle ground guys. I believe Paradyne is so far the strongest Human.
Paradyne may be stronger (well, he is a magic caster and that puts him almost inmediately above), but what I said was that he is of the strongerst humans, not the strongest per se. The fact that a few are stronger doesn´t mean much or change the fact that he is on the higher end.
Not many (humans), can beat him in a straight duel. At least in what has been seen.
Zero getting his head kicked in was just as good as you thought? what did you read? he got sliced down and literally exploded like a boulder in the ln... how is what happened to him in the anime more badass than that?
Well we finally got the Princess' cold dead eyes.
Jeffery Brown I don't mind being her victem
Ruben Oropesa ...............ok then I mean I can see where ya going
Jeffery Brown she is pure yandere just like the chick in blue rose is full blown chunibiyo
But ainz being the villain is my favorite part
Edit:finally an anime that’s not all good
What do you guys think the next vol after the holy Kingdom will be. I'm thinking we're finally going to the dragon Kingdom.
Regarding Ainz getting pissed at Evileye, maybe it was in the LN that it was his emotion suppression, but I'll be surprised that if it wasn't just Ainz being able to keep his cool, since neither the sound effect no the glow that we the audience only see go off. And to be fair, it feels like you're not giving anime only people enough credit with noticing things. A lot of what you mentioned 'anime only' people wouldn't notice this time seems pretty obvious, as an anime only person myself, if they've been following along this far. Stuff like the flag and Albedo a couple eps back, sure, but clear stuff like in this episode...
my thoughts too
Bawoo Delaney well y'know, some ppl watch an episode and still don't notice the obvious. Ppl are just slow man.
my thought was that he had to be sure that they didnt kill entoma, and then once evil eye said they didnt kill her, then he had a wave of relief go over him, and he was able to go back to acting. but nabe is more hardcore and stilll couldnt calm down until ainz gave her the classic cough * remmeber we are acting cough*.
most of anime only ppl are brain dead, so
I was going to write this same thing..he didn't get auto calm down...he calmed down because she wasn't dead. Also the hate isn't there, just miss reading a crush as her being cautious and apprehensive.
I hope season 3 comes out
Just wait a year or something
I hope not (anime only )
Sko Leo like a book movie adaptation there will be some separation from book and anime no matter what studio.
Yeah, but while there are some gems in the ground like the shows you picked there is an endless amount of dirt that doesn't really follow the source material. Studios just need to put in effort, but that doesn't mean they always will.
Sorry if this takes down your passion, but I think it's gonna be extremely difficult to have a Season 3.
As Volume 7 to Volume 10 is too savage/brutal/gory for audiences to watch in Anime.
It is gonna be a contest for loyalty of Overlord fans, because of Nazarick's Evil deeds.... xD
Anyone hyped to see Lakyus going full chuni when she screamed "Dark Blade Mega Impact!!!!"?
Nazrul Nadziruddin I will be mad if they don't
Well yeah, Ainz practically wants to take over the world, imagine a GM just eating popcorn while Ainz take over the world slowly
Wow I just stumbled across this channel and I am actually a bit surprised, you have a very clear and precise way of getting your points across. To be completely honest I did not expect this and was pleasantly surprised. I will be sure to watch more of your videos.
the princess smiling needs to be a meme....
Zedthy nah, savage patrick is way better. his smiling face is unbeatable
Zedthy Yes!!!
pls no, i don't want to see the "ReLife - type" meme all over again (you will know if you watch ReLife)
Zedthy its already a meme
Because of anime
I wouldn't be surprised if it was combined with Yuno's yandere face.
Actually, the fact that Ains do care about the guardians (like a father) whas the First thing to come to mi mind at this scene.
For me It whas totally confirmed in the scene previous the fight with Shaltear, where he mentions that he didn't wanted to see the guardians killing each other (How cute ^-^)
Well I consider Ainz the same as Julius Caesar, Napoleon, Genghis Khan and many more. If you are some one that’s interested in history or politics you might understand. The funny thing is that they are very bad and sick peoples if you just look at what they did in the war. Yet many still consider them as hero. They’re conquerors they the demon of their enemy and other country. So normally tv shows don’t depict character like that. They’re either very good or very bad.So people can easily relate to them with out much problems with understanding their moral backgrounds.
Yet overlord did depict Ainz in this way. Some one that actually has the mind set of a conqueror. Some one that will invade other country just for his own country’s benefit.
Ainz wants to create a utopia by dictatorship and he will destroy any country or people that try’s to stop him. That’s pretty much the whole idea of the LN at the moment.
In fact in the end if he succeeds the world will definitely benefit from this. Because he wants to create a great nation with great wealth and peace. But that doesn’t change that he kill at least hundreds millions of people and feels no sympathy as well. He’s not something that can be recognized as good or even human any more.
One of the most important things for people to understand before continue overlord. Is that this story is never about good or evil. It is about strong groups devouring weaker groups. That’s why a protagonist like Ainz could even exist in the first place.
Think of it in this way.
“Bad peoples does succeed in real world and the world does benefit from them. “
History is written by the winners.
The Good Luck Ranger I’m just being honest. That’s just what I feel about history and ruler. I don’t think Ainz is a good person. He even said that himself in the LN. But why does that mean he needs to be stop? Ainz does kill people and do very evil stuff. But they are all necessary to create order and peace. Many probably don’t like to think of it that way. But history of man kind are often very evil. Many hero are in fact villain at the same time. I only see Ainz killing people for conquering the world and making a stronger and more peaceful country. I don’t see how is that different from many other kings in history. As long as I still understand his plan and it will definitely bring more benefit to the world. I’m still pretty much okay with Ainz being the protagonist.
The funny thing is, ainz is really only the main villain if you decide to side with the other kingdoms. Total brainwashed hard coded loyalty aside, if you asked anyone in nazarick if they thought ainz was the bad guy, they of course would say no. Because his entire focus is on protecting his people, ensuring their safety, and in addition to that, finding other players if they exist. He also personally rarely descends into cruelty, and not for its own sake (unlike demiurge who REALLY enjoys being as evil as possible with what his orders are) His evilest acts, especially in the stuff covered by the anime, are the fates of the workers and even that is less evil and more pragmatic for the most part. Yes they are terrible fates, but in general they are to again, help his people. The two lovers who are permanent hives are going to suffer for a very long time, but its to provide housing and hatcheries for his subjects, the paladin is being tortured so ainz can get a handle on cleric magic and how it works, the eternally eaten by cockroaches are there to be food for his people, etc etc etc.
They arent suffering for the sake of suffering, they are suffering to gain his people benefits. And keep in mind these people broke into his home to kill everything there and loot it to the bedrock. They even had the chance to back out when they got all that loot from the outer buildings. They chose to keep going. You only really pity them because the story spends so much time establishing them as characters. If they were just faceless adventurers whose names we dont even know, I bet at most it would get an "Ouch, that was brutal" and move along.
He's not the main villain, HE IS JUSTICE!
If we don't get a season 3 I don't want to live on this planet anymore.
Pray for our girl Neia, Chibi. Volume 13 within a month.
She dead af tbh
Can't wait for Ainz Fake Death and the Two intermissions of it in Overlord volume 13 Paladin of the Holy Kingdom part 2
I'm a little split on Ainz's supposed upcoming death. On one hand, I feel like something unexpected is going to happen that kills Ainz. On the other hand, I'm fairly sure that, should that happen, the entire world will feel the full wrath of Nazarick, hence why it's possible that his death is faked and Maruyama is just trolling us. But still, Maruyama has stated that Ainz "will definitely die next volume."
Felt bad when he didn't tell demieurge that she was worth sparing
PacManAction I have a Feeling. That she is going to take a Bullet for Ainz. Somehow i see ainz resurrecting her
Evileye falling for Ainz was very surprising to say the least. My first reaction was 'NO NOOO FUCK NOOOO". Because i think she is such a cool character, i don't want to see her reduced to "waifu" status. But... damn was she adorable.
Ainz Hates her.
well he doesn't like her that much
Oh God, Albedo and Shaltear have a lot to say in that matter.
Iori Kira yeah they killed that character for me too 😥
It felt so stupid tbh
Ainz is neither the hero nor the villain. It really depends on whose perspective you're talking about, he's actually a very good ruler to the people he rules, even the human citizens and eventually becomes quite popular with the people he conquered. On the other hand he's very brutal to his enemies and his servants does some incredibly evil shit at times.
Overlord is the typical isekai/hero's story told from the perspective of the villain. What made it as good as it is is that it's quite grey. Ainz is both a great and at times, kind ruler - and a cold tyrant.
I would actually go as far as to say that to certain people Ainz is a hero. He doesn't discriminate, he isn't cruel for cruelty's sake and he doesn't treat the poor and unfortunate as playthings.
I love that you take such great care with what you say in order to avoid spoilers. I absolutely despise spoilers so I take great delight in the fact that I can go ahead and watch your video without any fear of it. Thumbs up! Subbed.
Hi chibi are u excited for Goblin Slayer anime because I read the manga and I love it especially they have a guy who looks just like Guts and he is a badass when he shows up and also does anybody else read Goblin Slayer just wondering(Also just want 2 say 2 people before u check this manga or light novel out just a warning if u can’t handle Berserk then U will not like Goblin Slayer and also just want to say Berserk manga is my favorite manga of all time)
Batmanisawesomesoami you are not alone
Jared E nice 👍
Only the manga? PF, noob. jk behind, yeah the only manga that gave me the chills reading it
The manga is amazing
I have read the first two light novels, think its going to make a pretty good anime.
No such thing as heroes and villains, good or evil. Just individual interest.
Which is why I love Ainz's character.
The scene that ainz push demiurge to building is happens not when ainz save evileye, but when "final battle"
As a LN reader, I am REALLY enjoying the Golden Princess. There are just so many things about her personality that simply could not be portrayed properly by text on a page, and now that we have images on screen and a voice actor delivering the lines we can finally see her craziness in its full glory!
here some clues:
- where Demiurge flys the story is going rly fast still they put this in and also him asking if it is ok to do this
- the sudden adding of a new attack point from demiurge!!!
- the one to hire momon
- the sudden stop at the plan meeting again it is rly strange looking how everything else is going rly fast
Demiurge plotting yh?
does it really make Ainz evil for him to care about his people?
i mean the story is taking place in a midieval fantasy setting. you weren't evil for enacting conquest. you where evil if you misstreated your people. Despite Ainz interesting and more sinister way of handling certain situations, in the end as he said himself, everyone under him will prosper.
say what you want about the lizardmen, but the truth was that they had many problems prior to meeting Ainz. they had a shortage of food, they where seperated into different tribes that all had grudges against each other from their prior war, and they themselves did not see them last for long. Under Ainz they will live as a unified lizardmen tribe.
Ainz is trying to take over the world, but not in the typical fashion of just destroying everything. here we have a charecter who for once, wants to properly lead his own nation the way he knows how. he wants to become a better king (as he himself notes several times).
the only reason he saved evileye was to be able to stay as the adventurer in town without suspicion to gather more info. had he killed evileye he would not be in the same position he is now.
Mortjep9531 well true midieval was tougher compared to modern world. So many forget that. There was times when conquering and slaughtering others country. Is actually something being supported by the general public not just because the ruler. People have different standards back then. If the public feels they are under the threat. The chance of them wanting the ruler to eliminate other innocent people is actually very high.
The point of villain and hero. Is that hero is some one that support the idea of the public. While villains are people that go against the idea of the public. If you kill thousands of innocent people. Yet you doing this for your country and that’s what the general public wants. Technically that still makes you a hero.
Paper Cat THIS!
the thing is he isnt a game character he came form a modern world which is why he in specif sounds like a savage
FakeBunny12 his modern world is sad and painful and terrifying, his world is literally the aftermath after WW3 broke out and Mega-corps rules the world, citizens are working like slaves for them, the rich have fresh air but the poor have acid rain and toxic air. Literally his old world is hell.
Ain't is simply trying to create a utopia where everyone is equally worthless to him :)
In regards to the description of the video, Madhouse is doing season 3 of Chihayafuru
Finally, I can go back to realistic card games that require skill and training instead of magic.
yo watup chibs..! i wanna ask if in the future you can do summary reviews on entire light novel volumes for us readers. i would really love to hear your overall opinions and thoughts on whats been going on in the novels.
Sko Leo i read them all already bro im just saying i want to hear his reviews on each volume lol would be cool to hear his thoughts
Can you help me figure out Golden Princess and Climb? That shit im still trying to figure out. I do t read mangas so been on the shows to add it all up.
I loved her smile, evil characters in animes always bring something new to the table that you just don't get anywhere else. Reading the manga or light novel is great and all but that sheer shock factor when you have villains animated is the best :P
Bruh it's been two years for you and no likes i'll give one for you.
1. Evileye is concerned about her 12 years old body, which cannot bear any child for Momon... xD
2. As a vampire who have lived for 250 years, this is the first time Evileye feeling heart beating, which means she found true love...xD
3. Evileye regrets not learning any girls' tricks on men before. She heard a lot in clubs.
Also he's a skeleton... No penis
Grave Rob
It's absolutely right. He mentioned that he has no desired for sex anymore.
To think of. Albedo was described as World Class beauty. I mean anyone who saw her tells she is the most beauty. How can Ainz endure that?
I see you Chibi, rocking that Pokémon shirt. When I first watched that scene of Evileye falling in love I bust out laughing so hard I had to rewatch it again just to have the same thing happen. 😛
Ainz is anti-hero not villian
First comment that I have read that thinks like me. He is definitely a anti-hero and a capitalist. He has never killed a hero, unless they are in his way. He killed the Lizardmen, but revived them. He killed villains. He only does things if they give him something in return, like the investment of the Lizardmen. He will protect him as long as he gets something in return.
Seth Houser
He is a gamer.
@ void Walker - What? LoL! Of course he is.
Seth Houser
So judging him as a villain , hero or anti hero is pointless.
Gamers only care about the fun of the game and the rewards for their quests.
@ Void walker - Not really. In the first episode he realized that he is no longer in a game, but in a different world. So, he goes on to state that their might be other people out there from his guild. Of course he really does not know if that is true or not, but hopes. He realizes that he can only do this if he gets the goods and finances for it. He then develops a system to get financials and to get his name out there. So, he really is a capitalist/hero/anti-hero.
Man I sure wish I could find a place to buy or download the Light Novels
I feel like calling Ains evil, is like calling any other conqueror or king evil. He cares for his people, and thus works to make sure they have the best future possible. Just a king and his subjects.
Ainz isn't good or evil, his main concern is ensuring the safty of the characters and guild he and his friends made. He's not a good person but he generally isn't needlessly cruel.
Yup
He killed 70k just to test out a spell. Followed by "I'm going to kill a lot of humans, and I feel nothing" bwaahaha
@@Epicus5 That didn't happen till the end of Season 3 and my comment was on the tail end of Season 2.
*More of a Anti-Hero to me, also can't to see Evileye's face and I find her really cute.*
Also she's very lucky because Narberal looked really close to smashing her skull in.
*SPOILERS* Its no wonder the Princess and Albedo are friends now.
Not an anti-hero at all, an anti-hero would be more like Vegeta during the Cell Saga, Ainz is pretty much a villain to the "heroes" of this universe. In the next arc he is 100% the MAIN villain.
Duriel Lord of Pain What do you mean, the princesses who's in love with climb
Yeah, but Spawn and Alucard are anti-heros and there pretty extreme.
Duriel Lord of Pain Is their enough content to make a 3rd season ?
*I still ❤ Ainz and the Guardians!!*
Where is the best place to read the light novel? Every website ive been at it hasnt been updated
The fruerer or what is introduced at the end of the final episode with his king
I love how evil eye fell fir ainz
At least it's not like SAO
Albedo loves him because he messed with her
Shalltear I'd a undead
And Evileye was saved form a man of legends
I wonder when we're going to see the white haired girl from the beginning, and Sebas took that hit like it was nothing 😂 , and I probably missed this or forgot but didn't Ainz use resurrection magic in the lizardman arc?
I think he meant the black and white haired girl
Got it
naxis xx wow just soiled everyone man , not cool, hope thats a joke
Jbreezy actually i already put that "SPOILER" tag, but im sorry and i will delete my comment
naxis xx man spolier is the thing i always likr but nvm
my ? is if the anime done, or is it going the full 24 episodes
13 episodes. So there's one more left.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Hey question where is the light novel compared to the anime reason being I couldn’t find it online
.... after seeing ep13 .... If I think about starting to read the LN now, can I safly start with the 3. book or is it better to start of with the second or even first book...?
Start with the first one! (and if you just want to read what is going on next, you will have to start from volume 7... anime season 1 and 2 covered the 6 first novel).
Question does Ainz know that Evileye is in love with him? Cause it seem like he was oblivious to it aside from hating her that is.
Don't think so
He said he is able to read her mind. Tho idk if that's just him flexing on Nabe
he knows, I think.
Princess is at Gasai Yuno's level of yandere.
No bro, yuno is a Trash Yandere.
I don't think anybody would ever beat gasai' yandere lol
Im pretty sure its past that
Yuno's yandere is crazier than princess.
The princess has waaaaaaay better acting skills
I love the thought of a level 100 hero showing up...
I'm pretty sure he'd get badly beaten up unless he has his own NPCs too
Of course, for long time I wait someone who really tell story from super villain perpective
any links to the light novel really want to read it since I'm not patient enough to wait for the next season XD
volume 1-9
skythewood.blogspot.com/2014/10/O11.html?m=1
volume 10-13
overlordvolume10.blogspot.com/2016/06/v10c00.html?m=1
I don't think that Ainz hates her though. He didn't had his status effect turned on so I think he just kept his cool because he found out that she isn't dead and he had to agree that it was natural for the 3 of them to fight the bug lady, she was eating a human.
LawlessGuns thats in the LN though, people should start seeing animes and their respective LNs as 2 different entities because they usually vary quite a fair bit
The anime is faithful to LNs with a lot of stuff just not shown or censored for TV.
The heck do you even mean? The Anime is an adaptation of the LN, unless it's spelled out otherwise you are most assured things are the same in one medium as they are in the other. To think otherwise would be hella weird.
Major Lawliet moreover generally when anime adaptation deviate from the original it turn into shit.
What you said in your spoiler part around 8: 20 is something that cames later on. It should happen in the next chapter.
plz where can i read the LN???
first 6 vols are out (in english!) now
but where?
Zedthy Amazon, you have to buy it obviously. 😉
also at barnes and noble
Just type overlord free lightnovel and you can read for free. Skythewood has till book 9 so the rest 10, 11, & 12 you need to download yourself. I recommend you download the full version via pdf because it contain many awsome art in it which is cool and it give a bit of lore about the character and their stat. So why wait?
Q Plus in the episode I'm unsure I just rewatched it recently like a few days ago but I know he was in one of the ending episode maybe in 12 or the 13 I don't remember if there was a 13th but I know he was introduce at the end of the episode he was with the crown Prince talking how he wants the mage Elder to get some information on hines's characters like his Adventure persona and also his castle
Where do you read the novel at? I only read though Vol. 8 CH 35
I'm thinking I should read the light novel
Super saiyan god super saiyan Mystic super saiyan 4 you really should they are great and a lot of thing we omitted from the anime
Yes, read it. The LN is so incredibly better than the anime!
That's the purpose of the anime. To promote the LN.
Sasuga Bone Daddy!
Good luck bro the Ln is the best
Well he is a talking skeleton, don’t know how good he could be at all.
Skyrogue19 Skull Knight in Berserk is a good person
I imagine that once Renner becomes an area guardian or landed on a position similar to that, Climb would die and be reborn into some sort of an undead (similar to WN's Brain). At first he despaired that he becomes something inhuman despite being granted tremendous power and abilities but Renner still accepts him. I mean he looks up to Renner and believes in Renner's pure heart and pledges her loyalty once more to Renner, effectively landed on the role that Renner wants him to. Renner then reveals to Climb that she made a pact with Ainz, becoming their representative in exchange of resurrecting CLimb. The Blue Rose would feel touched of Renner's love towards Climb despite his transformation, solidifyng Lakyus's thoughts of the knight and princess romance stories. Climb later learns that not all of Nazarick are evil after finding out that Sebas is a part of nazarick and how nazarick has been treating Tsuare. This makes him changes his view of Nazarick and believes that allying with Ainz would be the best course for Renner, and do not blame her for turning him into a grotesque.
Just my speculation
That my whole is climb loyal to the princess or his belief of the princess. Because if you look at no matter what her personality was she is the one who saved him
This is Demiurge level speculation!
I've been watching this since Hulu picked it up all three seasons, thanks for filling in some blanks.
Guys! Season 3 was announced!
otakomu.jp/archives/702690.html
Praise Ainz-sama!
Princess is embracing her Yandere side
the title has nothing to do with the content being discuss? evenif with all the points you said. In my opinion, they still couldn't justify Ainz is an evil person. Maybe I got clickbaited. His decision and reaction is actually very human. Firstly, everyone places their family/friends above other strangers. secondly, his wants to keep his image as a leader not because he like to(pretty sure he is a salaryman in real life), he did this because he is the only player that the NPCs look up to, and he doesn't want to disappoint his NPCs. Just like a fther want to keep the cool image in front of kids. In many points in the anime and the novel, he always want to learn how to be a better leader. Thirdly, the anime did a pretty good job, because except from the missing characters, all the other points you mentioned is in the anime. Maybe most people would missed it, but it is kind of obvious to those who actually 'read' the anime, instead of looking at the pictures.
tragedyofwind well Ainz is not human anymore. He’s still has the same mind. But to him human is something close to animal. So is human guilty for stepping on a groups of ants yet feels nothing about it.
with season 3 in , u still think this ? XD
@@dragonkiin read vol 13 and I still agree with tragedyofwind
@@Levariatine man the guy massacres people , and he uses entrapment to justify his evil deeds , it's illegal for cops to entrap u.
from our world perspective no
He's freaking undead how could he become a hero when he's human emotion's is gone
awesomeness in your work bro.....shout out from Zimbabwe in southern Africa
There are guna be more episodes after 12 right?
As an anime only I don't know how far the light novel is, but I think I know how Ainz is going to turn this to his advantage. As Momon he will fight and "defeat" Demiurgos since Evileye knows that he is too strong. When Momon has proven his strength Pandora's Actor will appear acting as Ainz (or taking his place as Momon) and stage a fight where Momon gets utterly crushed with beyond a doubt a superior enemy. This would devastate the morale of the humans, or at least most of them. Ainz's goal is to rule over everything, and one of the easiest ways to achieve that is through fear. If he has to show his power from time to time and blow up a village or two, so be it.
P.S. Who would think that Ainz is a hero? It was evident from the first or second episode of the first season that his goal is to enslave all of this new world, because it "could be entertaining". That's the whole premise of the show.
Backon Lazer Considering you haven't read the LNs, you're speculations are fairly good, though they aren't quite in the right order. I won't spoil anything about his fight with Demiurge, but Pandora's Actor isn't a part of it. He does have Pandora's Actor be his doppelgänger as Momon in Volume 7, and in I think 10 or 11 as well, though Pandora's Actor doesn't fight in any of them. As for demoralizing humanity, he does that at the conclusion of Volume 9, when he becomes a real evil overlord (beginning his global conquest) and demonstrates his true power with a single super-tier spell. Also, in regards to your statement about his conversation with Demiurge, I think his response about conquering the world was only intended for Demiurge's ears as a way to maintain his image. The only thing he actually seems to care about is protecting Nazarick and finding any other human players that are in that world.
Yea, I meant that Ainz will fight Demiurge as Momon, I might have not made that clear. I'm kind of bummed to hear that Pandora's doesn't fight, since Ainz said that he's super strong (although pretty uncool, lol). I guess being an evil overlord aligns with his goal of finding other players, since they would definitely seek him out. Either to defeat him as heroes or to join him as villains.
Backon Lazer Yeah, I wish that Pandora's Actor would get to fight. Given that his gimmick is transforming into other people, I'm curious to see what his fighting style would be like. But I doubt that would ever end up happening.
Backon Lazer you came really close! Except he has Said that he doesn’t just want to Reign with power and fear. And momon is actually there to keep the morallity there
To be honest I was kinda pissed when entoma got knocked out.
Best bug didn't deserve it
I wish for season 3
Eborn Nightrope good new for ya
I heard s3 realase 10,7,2018 if it's not don't blame me
wish granted
I'm gonna start reading the light novel. Can someone help me out what volume do season 3 start?
Arthur Delos Santos volume 7
Are there any websites where i can read the LN
How is he a main villain?
He's somewhat relatively incompetent with national diplomacy and political maneuvering, but so far in the LN, everything works itself out.
And if we're judging by Ainz's main goal, then its to create a nation for all races, demihumans and all. How is that evil?
It isn't really. If you look at the world they're all in Ainz's rule really seems like the best available alternative, and the other empires aren't just going to roll over and die. In many ways it reminds me of Code Geass in that horrific terrible things are done by the protagonist, but that doesn't make him a villain, just someone who's using the best of many bad options.
Erebus Von Mori yup. i agree with you on all that about Ainz.
I personally don't like to believe in that violence for greater good crap. its rhetoric for individuals justifying their power. But Lelouch was definitely a good martyr. Best case scenario, he bought a generation or two of peace for his sister.
I believe in it, I'm just aware that so have a lot of other people and most of them were wrong, which is why I don't act on it, because I could be wrong. Lelouch was a protagonist that got it right, I think Ainz is too.
Erebus Von Mori The LN has fallen into a comfortable habit of Ainz steam rolling everybody. Which I don't mind, but I mainly signed up for revealing past player factions, or more hints about current player factions if they're around anymore.
But it seems like that may not happen for a few novels still.
badwith names ainz is kind to everyone who is under his rule. but to those whos not, he doesnt give a shit, like at LN vol9 where he killed tens of thousand people just to test his magic and then asking for celebration lol.
Sorry for the long rant but...
I've only read your title and description so I may be wrong but I think this POV is a little narrow. I think that it's wrong to say that Ainz cares only for the NPCs of Nazarick. He cares for the entirety of Nazarick, including all humans who swear loyalty to it. He doesn't love them, his racial class will erase all his emotions immediately, leaving him cold and calculating but with a deep sense of pride and loyalty. You can see this when he goes after Clementine. He could have just taken her back to Nazarick and torture her for information. But he still avenges the deaths of the people who welcomed him in their group.
To classify him as a hero or villain is to paint him in a Popeye-esque image, where Popeye is the paragon lawful good and Bluto is the renegade chaotic evil. Overlord tries to blend realism with fantasy and that's what makes it good. Most people don't just swing one way or the other. You have intrigue, lies, pain, objectives, agendas, love, loyalty etc.
To be honest, he isn't evil or good. He just wishes to find out if his guild mates have made it to the New World by spreading the name of Ainz and Nazarick. Unfortunately the NPC interpreted this declaration as being his wish to take over the world and will not shy from any method to make sure this happens...
Victor Unbea did you read the character sheet from the novel? It says ainz is extremely evil.
Also massacring tens of thousand of people just for testing his magic and curiousity, i say thats pretty evil. But thats what i like, its refreshing to see an MC who is not a Hero.
His character sheet is from the game. He is in a different world, he even recognizes that. He knows that he left his world behind, along with the gaming world. He is just curious to find if anyone from earth that played the game is in this world with him. He is essentially a anti-hero and a capitalist, or what Victor Unbea said.
@ Stephen Jenkins - Ainz is not evil. He is a Lich, and humanoids only know the evil kind in that world. The character card is his character card in the game, not in the world they are in. Facts:
1.) He saved a village from being wiped out.
2.) He helped them build defenses, and gave them a goblin army.
Then what about the lizard village?
3.) He did not wipe them out. He resurrected the chiefs and probably some of their warriors as well. It was a battle. He won, they lost. It is common in that type of age.
4.) When giving out rewards, in season 3 episode 1, Solution asks for innocent humans, but is denied by Ainz.
What about the city, the NPCs have killed citizens?
5.) No they have not killed a civillian. Episode 13 of season 2, all the citizens are in shelters, put in their by monsters.
Well what about the soldiers?
6.) It is a battle, soldiers are the only ones that get hurt or killed. It is called battle.
What about the fight with Evil Eye and her subordinates?
7.) Well the NPCs are monsters and would be attacked just because they are monsters. They have a right to defend themselves. Then you have the fact that they are programmed from the beginning to be evil, since they are evil in the game world. They only think about conquering and humans are little beings to crush.
8.) There have been occasions that they think highly of humans. Saving their lives and killing evil humans.
Have you seen the newest episode? He is not evil, he has no intentions on being evil. The NPCs interpret his thoughts and actions wrong, because they are programmed to think of conquering and ruling in evil ways. In fact the NPCs are changing. They are no longer just programs, but have become living beings in that world. They have already made reasonable thoughts and actions.
1.) Sebas saved Tuara and has taken out part of the underground crime lords.
2.) Sebas thinks highly of Tuara, even though she is human.
I am looking forward to the day that Climb discovering the Princess true form.
He would only discover it when it is too late. Either too interested on her to care about it (Amano Yukiteru anyone?) or simply when he has no chance to escape anymore.
Honestly? She is sick but is doing her best to ensure that he's free enough and not chain him to a basement foundation, so maybe she deserves a bit of love, that's a lot of dedication.
Who knows, someone can be into Yandere. You might be surprised.
What are the ratings for season 2 when compared to season 1 in Japan? Hopefully we can get a season 3.
where can I find the light novel to buy online?
