It's a constant powertrip from Ainz and his lackeys. Aka the author's self insert. I can get why some people likes it, especially if they are new to the world of fiction, but , honestly these kind of animes are either too common nowadays, or they are all copying one another, in any case, OP characters with OP lackeys that just go around doing whatever they want are super common, Reincarnated as a Slime, 9999 level Gacha, and I remember to have read like more, but they were so boring I completely forgot their names. And they are also boring stories, where is the struggle ? To see how long will people last before breaking down in front of an impossible power ? It's not even good in that sense since either the characters are so dumb you don't care, or are goody two shoes that are already under the MC's rule. It's a boring story really.
Wouldn't be far off of a notion tbh. Most games, casters need INT (Mana Pool and Magic Damage) and DEX (Cast Time and Concentration). But many also include LCK to prevent spells from failing (basically Dex but to a lesser extent). They mostly incorporate DEX to lower the chances of getting interrupted when channeling. But LCK also affects Magic Crit just as much as Phys Crit in almost every game so that's an added incentive to dump extra points to it. Most players do however dump extra points to VIT/CON instead of LCK just to get those few extra numbers on Def and HP instead. Lots of games also separate the functions of DEX from AGI. To separate Hit and other bonuses from DEX, from AGI's Dodge, ASpd, etc. But older games only have DEX, which was always odd to me.
I also like the idea that In-Game Lore is becoming real. Albedo can ride a bicorn just fine in-game because game devs won't give you a virginity restricted mount in a game where virginity is default and all attempts to lose said virginity is met with an immediate ban. Yet in the New World, she can't ride it anymore because the bicorn's lore came true. Overlord as a player race must have some In-Game flavor texts just like the bicorns. Heck it's an MMO, so all races playable or not should at least have some flavor texts.
In overlord neither inteligence nor luck is an actual stat, the reason why demiurge and albedo are so smart is because in their character sheet its written that they are smart, and the thing affecting ainz isnt any stats, but his skill called dark wisdom
Which becomes a closed loop, with ainz appreciation of jircniv resulting in jircniv thinking hes being useful to aniz, incentivizing him to continue to impress him (for either self preservation or to gain trust for double crossing)
Ainz: ...? Ainz: ... Ainz: ... Ainz: ...yes! Everything is proceeding according to, uh, to my master plan! Demiurge, please explain my master plan. So that anyone who doesn't know what's going on can...um...marvel at my greatness.
Honestly they do pretty well. Everyone was on the edge of their seat expecting Ainz to perform some horrible sacrifice but other than some fine details there were only two major changes: Recognize that the Sorceror Kingdom is in charge (duh) and to surrender any Death Row inmates to them. They even sent one guy back cause it turned out he was innocent. And Jircniv's job became a lot easier since he's basically backed by Ainz himself. No one is gonna try and backstab him.
The kicker here is even *Demiurge* was completely taken by surprise when he found out next episode, *because he was already planning to ask Ainz if they could get the Empire Under Their Thumb Anyway.*
*FUN FACT:* Ainz had been spying on Jircniv with the Mirror of Remote Viewing for a long time in order to learn how to become a better ruler. Unfortunately a side effect of using the mirror on someone is rising paranoia which did not help Jircniv's already deteriorating mental state. That is part of why he 'gives up' here. All according to Ainz-sama's keikaku.
Demiurge is probably the most intelligent being in nazarick, considering that , to him, it doesn't matter how much does he overthinks or tries to discern Ainz "hidden plans", Ainz always goes not steps but solar systems ahead of him, of course demiurge, that already consiers ainz a god, would be more impressed and admired him even further.
@@XYZ-uw2ku I believe that would be Pandora's Actor. I think Albedo says that he is more intelligent than both her and Demiurge. However, Demiurge is in charge of the intelligence operations for a reason.
@@thecatwhisperer2820 as an anime only (currently reading LN, still at vol 1 chapt 3) I believe albedo said that Pandora's actor rivals their intelligence, not outright being smater than them.
@@june3149 It actually does. Ainz dosent know exactly how but Pandora is really smart (Ainz dosent remember very much about Pandora's presonality creation). Albedo is the cause of Pandora's place in Nazarick since she assumed that since Pandora was Ainz's son he should be beyond smart
@@juliane.mfarias9285 not claiming anything or saying whether he is smarter or not. I'm just saying what's been shown/said in the anime, which is just albedo saying that Pandora's actor rivals her and demiurge when it comes to intelligence (didn't say that pandora's actor is superior, just rivals them) again, this was from the anime. I am not siding with anyone when it comes to intellect as I'm still not at that part in the LN.
Well he's not ignorant and dumb. That's why he looks so stressed. His only aim right now is to save the kingdom. He even became so desperate to the point of asking Theocracy and other kingdom's help just so he can have a chance to save his kingdom.
@@iamwisdomskyyeah he was in a pretty bad situation, being allied with the most hated kingdom, it's a good thing Ainz actually truly considers them as allies and not sacrificial lambs.
What I love about this whole arc is how the Emperor's experience and Ainz inexperience all lead to this resolution. Ever since Ainz accepted a mere appeasement and an alliance after making a show of wealth and force like he did, blondie here began overthinking everything. Why on earth would someone so overwhelmingly powerful not immediately demand subjugation? What was he planning? What did he want from him? And in this scene, he believes he has finally figured it out. He thinks Ainz was just f*cking with him. That he gave him a chance to plot and scheme just to show him how pointless it was. And the terror from that "realization" was enough to sink him into despair and break his will to resist, as he believed himself outmatched at the only thing he thought he could beat Ainz at. And then you have Ainz, who stumbled into the perfect words, course of action and 4D chess plays by simply trying to be nice and polite with his political neighbours.
He got the best outcome, he thinks hard and made a lot of right call like giving his empire up as to avoid ending up like the Kingdom and avoided death like Calca, that is the best anyone can pull off, Nazarick is like a modern military in stone age
His Empire will have the stability he was fighting for, and for the first time in his life, after this current anime arc, he'll have a real friend he can relate to and understand. Before he really only had Fluder and one of his mistresses that he could talk candidly with; after this, he'll have another ruler whose nation is held in vassalage by the Sorcerous Kingdom as a buddy...is a little hair loss and some digestive problems such a high price?
Honestly being a Vassal state is probably the best thing for the empire long run. As the Vassal of a major military power they can afford a heavy demobilization shifting their economy from military power to civilian prosperity. Sure they lose a lot of their revenue in tribute as well as their diplomatic freedom but that's small potatoes compared to what an empire normally requires to keep it's borders sovereign.
Jir: Him being surprised at us asking to be a vassal state must have went against his plans somehow. Ainz: Turns neighboring kingdom to dust. Jir: AAAAAUUUUGGHHHHH! I KNEW IT!
Lol sometimes muscle head are the smartest In Viking season 5 also the Ivar kept his reserve army to defend their boat Meanwhile the muscle head bjorn charge with full army Ivar lost the battle due to lower number of fighters, and his allies said he is just too smart and not wise to see Bjorn is a muscle head
What is a vassal state? I try googling it but English is not my main language. As Ainz once said, explain it in simple way that others could understand.
A sovereign nation giving up its sovereignty (or losing it), becoming the subject of a greater power; but not being annexed. Lose independence, but not anything else not stipulated in the agreements between overlord and vassal. Then again, Jircniv would probably sign away a LOT of things to Ainz to keep his empire from getting Black Goated.
Basically the Empire stays as it is, more or less, and Jircniv is still Emperor, but he and the Empire are ultimately subservient to Ainz. Jircniv will still run the Empire as is, but Ainz and the Sorceror Kingdom can get involved whenever they want if they see fit.
