Ains Ool Gown, formerly the Goal of Nines, as a guild was placed in the seventh tier and remained in the tenth after Momonga was the only one running it. It was not the best guild around, but it was one of the best. TouchMe though? he was the best player in the game. That armor Momonga is using was a world item, the whole armor, the armor of the perfect warrior and it was a unique item that could only be acquired once in a pvp tournament event.

@@gantzllat A few things you got wrong: The clan that preceded Ainz Ooal Gown was Nine's Own Goal. Touch Me's armor is not a World Item, it is called World Champion Armor, and it is slightly weaker than a World Item. It was made for him by the devs at his request, because everyone who becomes a World Champion, of which there can only be nine at a time, gets one item made just for them. I'm fairly sure it can't even be looted.

No one guild could defeat them, even if none of the Guild Members took part in the defense.
What I absolutely love about overlord is instead of introducing stakes to overcome, it introduces the stakes of the characters that are going to be killed by the main cast and makes you care about them, so while you understand why Nazarick is doing what they're doing, you have to feel bad for those they're killing.
But at the end of the day they are mereley NPCs. And while yes we do care for them abit, we know they are mainly a means to an end. Plus with Ainz in control and possessing world items, im sure he can ressurect any of them that do perish and he needs alive.

Funnily enough, Shalltear is well above Ainz in terms of actual combat ability. She was min-maxed while he spent a lot on roleplay abilities. Ainz is just smart.
Ainz just has a lot of experience when it comes to PVP with other players. And he is also very cautions. While Shallter at that time thinks she's so strong and unbeatable.

@@someguyy194_2 You may want to go back and reread the books. He remarks that "the goal of all life is death" affects more than just people in the new world. Or did you think the entire area turning into a barren wasteland with poison air was a coincidence?
@@danielcesar664 Yep, I am a big fan of the isekai genre and Overlord does everything right. The closest second would be that time I got reincarnated as a slime. It's a personal favorite though, there are plenty of good anime out there especially in different genres
it's a statement that Ains' hardest fight was against one of his own. but it kinda makes sense that they would be comparable to Ains. as back in the game, Ains was a player, and the Guardians protected the guild against other players.
Shalltear is stronger than Ainz. Ainz designed his build around role-play. Taking everything related to necromancy and undead that he could so as to be the "Undead Necromancer" character. Shalltear was perfectly min-maxed. It's a testament to how good at planning combat Ainz actually is that he managed to win a fight he by all rights should have lost.
@@notbob555 Not only that, her build also exactly counters his. He's a necromancer who specializes in summoning undead, she's a holy paladin with a health drain weapon. He can't summon anything against her since she'd just heal off of it.
The novels are way better. Overlord is at it's best when the author goes into extrem amounts of detail in order to create a very realistic world filled to the brim with political intrigues (and of course ainz wont understand anything that is going on under the surface). The anime cuts most of this and though I would not call it a bad show at all, the adaptation and it's charakters sadly lose a lot of depth because of that
Agreed been listening to audio version of the novels and they are so good. Shame they had to fit book 1-3 in a single season for pacing reasons since most anime watchers have no patience for some reason.
I'd have to disagree. Reading how Ainz questions every single thing and doubts himself countless of times, making himself look like a total idiot, relying on his subjects' ideas and being led around, while he can just take over the world in seconds, is just sad and confusing. Especially after I've read a flashback to the first raid of Nazarik, as Ainz has been shown as pretty smart strategist. At least in anime they cut out all the annoying whining he goes through, cuz it rarely adds ANYTHING of value to the character. On the political details I might've agreed on, if I ever liked those details, to each their own.
@@neksuscat Ainz is not dumb at all, he himself thinks of himself as average and I agree, but he never had a great education and therefor no idea of politics or simular things while being surrounded by brillant geniuses. His imposter syndrom is a result of him being a replacebal saleryman for 90% of his life and is an important aspect of his charakter that helps to set him appart from bad leaders like philip or the elve king. Of course everybody will have preferences but the hilarious "sasuga Ainz-sama" moments when aniz stumbels into a complicaded plan and ruins everything just by beeing present, as well as the amount of thought put into every little aspect of even minor charakters are something that makes overlord special and sets it appart from simular storys
@@artoriasds8456 I guess it's a prefference thing, as I don't see it all that appealing. Nor was it all that well explained abiut his past. I've read a couple of comments here that said his past was elaborated through some extra notes and stuff that barely got out of Japan. If it's not in the story, how should I know about what makes the character and justifies his actions? To me his character takes a 180° turn once he's thrown into another world. From a smart strategist with low social skills to ever-doubting, awkward mess of a villain. I like him more as he is portrayed in the anime, tbh.
@@neksuscat his past and the dystopian state of the world are brought up all the time, espcially in the earlier novels. It's never the focus of a conversation but Aninz compares the situations he is curently in with his old life a lot. The brillant strategist part is still present in the new world like when he battled shalltear. But beeing good at playing Ygdrasil does not mean that he would exell in any other aspect of life at all. He was pasionat about this subject and had a lot of in game experience, but that does not change the fact that if you put someone who only ever had elementary school level education in control of a nation he will probably not be very good at it
If I recall, Touch Me as a username was in itself a flex. Touch Me has some kind of deranged busted class he got from winning a PvP tournament, so what he's really saying with that username is "try to even touch me, I dare you."
World Champion is the class, only get it from winning the tournament. And only that class can wear his armor (+Ainz with his Perfect Warrior in the new world)
Touch Me was the 3rd strongest player in all of the game. The Pure Silver Paladin! Ainz said himself that if he used the Guild Weapon (an OP item by itslef) he MAY have a change of defeating him
I like how realistic Overlord is, everyone wearing something that fit with their class when fighting no matter what gender they are.. like, there is no bikini armour for female knight, even shaltear and albedo wearing full plate armour when in battle mode.. *if you think about it, Albedo's helmet looks like Ruin Sentinel Helmet from Dark Souls 2 *for Pelinal Whitestrake in the reply section, i think bikini armour in episode 1 season 1 is not a KNIGHT, more like thief class like clementine.. which is doesn't make sense if a thief wearing full plate armour with shield..
It is legit the only book series that I have ever enjoyed reading, and I constantly try other books that interest me, but none can ever hook me like Overlord did. So many strings.
how about trying Hitchwikers guide t the galaxy or something from Isaac Asimov? ive read them before overlord and kinda found some related things when reading again
If you are not hesistant to try some Chinese novels might i suggest reverend insanity. It's almost same concept of guy getting isekaid to a new world with magic worms where he works hard for 500 years and dies only to time travel to the moment he started his training and decides fuck the world i am gonna become immortal. Super evil,smart and very very patient mc without any harem stuff plus almost all the other powerhouses are smart as hell too
The thing about Ains's last 2 skills that he used to get rid of Einherjar is that together they're basically the ultimate instant kill combo The Goal of All Life is Death makes it so that all instant death spells temporarily ignore ALL immunities and resistances, but at the cost of all of them having their cast set to 10 seconds Meanwhile , Cry of The Banshee was the instant death spell that kills everything in a specific radious And for those asking why he didn't just use this at the very beginning, if he had done that, Shalltear would have revived ,but would have still had all her mana and skills (including Einherjar) putting Ains into an unwinnable situation as there was no way he could use his half-baked melee build (which he would inevitably resort to as he would run out of mana eventually) to kill Einherjar and bring Shalltear's health back down to where Fallen Down could kill her before she killed him.
The anime waters down a lot. Overlord is pretty gruesome and brutal, and some of the stuff that's implied to be going on in the background but is never really explored is real messed up. I love the series because its basically one of the unusual series where the protagonist and his faction just go full unrepentant villain mode sometimes. Its even funnier when the MC is largely just bullshitting his way through just about every interaction. He ain't your usual isekai hero. Its edgy, but its a fun kind of edgy.
The anime does actually tone down some stuff because the LN content gets way too brutal for TV. Case in point, Clementine's death scene. In the anime Ainz stops after her spine and ribs snap and she vomits blood with her last breath. In the LN, he keeps going until a good amount of her innards were squeezed out through her mouth, like a toothpaste tube that somebody had stomped on. He was THAT pissed.
Him calling Shalltear a loli was so surprising for me because I actually never considered her one. Like to me a loli has to look like or sound like a child, along with being short and usually flat. But I never looked at Shalltear and thought she looked like a child, nor does the rest of the guardians treat her as such (except kinda this latest season when she is learning from Ainz). Mare and Albedo only ever tease her about being flat, not a short child. So I wouldn’t consider her a loli, where I would consider Beatrice from ReZero a loli because Subaru treats her like a child
@@hendeyjagger7489 Out of players, he was the strongest and some considered him the strongest in the whole game. One of the only few who won a massive world champion pvp tournament (and the reason why he got the class World Champion). In 1v1, he was unbeatable.
Shaltear is actually the youngest NPC at least interms of being made, since the update that brought some of her classes, ride/rise of the Valkries came out later, Her exact age isnt known but She seems to be younger than Aura which is around 70ish years old.
Awesome to see you checking it out. Was very into Overlord when reading the LN. (Also, consider the abridged version. Has some hype moments.) Overlord is interesting. Ainz is great, but the best parts are how the entire world is dealing with the massive powerhouse of Nazerick suddenly popping into existence. There are tons of perspectives. It’s really a shame that the anime fell in quality, since the LN just gets better and better as the world expands.
I think all japanese authors got shook by Miuras death (Berserk), its such an iconic series that having it be cut short by premature author death must have put things into perspective. Almost all long runners have suddenly announced a planned series end in the last couple of years
Fun fact: One of the members of Ainz Ooal Gown, the guild, was murdered IRL for hearing something he shouldn't have about a corporate secret. There's a reason Ainz don't wanna go back people. Hypercapitalist corporate ruled cyberpunk hell
Honestly, Overlord took my favorite Anime spot. Originally Beserk and Log Horizon were the top, but everything in Overlord resonates with me when it's literally just me in an Anime...Skeleton Race from an RPG? Check. Necromancer? Check. Guild Leader/Officer? Check. Magic focus? Check. Political play? Check. Everyone assumes you are smarter than you are because you guess accurate a lot? Check. Roll with that assumption because it helps later when you need to get shit done? Check. And the list goes on...xD
And all the complaints people had about OP Gary Stu characters goes right out the window, because Ainz is the Stuest Stu of all time, and you all love him. HYPOCRISY, THY NAME IS WEEB!!
@@Alondro77 Spoken like someone obsessed with power scaling. Ainz faces plenty of other challenges and he’s nowhere near perfect. He’s also quite often not the focus of the story. The perspectives of a massive number of characters are equally, if not collectively more important, than that of Ainz. If you believe Ainz is any variation of Mary Sue, you do not understand why people complain about them.
@@Alondro77 Um...The reason noone complains about his OP Powers is because this is supposed to be a Power Fantasy not pretend to be a normal story. And on top of that, Overlord does OP right by having him constantly hold back and hide his powers for fear of another Player being around. He casts Super Tier Magic to bait a response, hands out World Items to the Guardians, questions everyone's motives, all to avoid putting Nazerick in a situation they aren't prepared for.
I will admit. I can't wait for the time when the meme of 'Buy my f***ing s***!' becomes a reality. Ainz really does everything he can to make the world he's in better.
the thing is Overlord did it first since this came out like what 2015 and elden ring is like what 2021 or something so its actually elden ring wrighting down what Ainz said to give it to one of their bosses after changing it ever so slightly
16:45 "There's no legendary warriors guy named Touch-Me-Sama" Remember, these were the usernames of Ainz's group. Sure some had 'serious' usernames like Wish III and Ancient One, but you had some edgelords, trolls, and outright cringe with Beast King Mekongawa, Touch Me, and Luci★Fer.
Shalltear was technically stronger than Ainz at that fight at the end of season 1. But Ainz was a (great) PvPer, knew exactly her strengths and weaknesses, and got all the preparation he could have before fighting her. Shalltear thought that, being one of the strongest floor guardians after Rubedo, got her victories through sheer brute force without planning. This why she lost twice in a row. The latest season is as good if not better than the first season. One example is that Albedo will do way more than just be a waifu now. A lot of politics will happen and things will move fast but in a great pace.
I'm still pissed that they cut the Sacred Kingdom arc to make a movie out of it. We will still get it animated, but the story will be even more cut due to budget and time cost, also it disturb the continuity of the series. From the point of an anime-only viewer, the started talking about a phantomatic war that happened in a near kingdom from a certain episode (no spoiler) and how much it was a great deal. It is a important plot point and if you don't read the novel or watch the movie you might get confused.
Ainz isn't even a master PvPer. He is good, but he'd basically be in the top 10%. For an example, he never managed to beat Touch Me who was the best PvPer. Ainz was great at tactics and strategy, as he basically learned nearly every spell in the game and what to do with and against them. Also his build was complete RP. So it wasn't even optimized for PvP. He just went for all death and necromancy magics, and is why he has the skill The Goal Of All Life Is Death.
@@Myltsi91 When you are in the top 10% with a full RP set, you are by definition a master PvPer. With a min/maxed character, he would have more than a fair chance to beat Touch Me or anyone else. He is just that good with a far from optimal build.
the great thing about this isekai, is that instead of the isekaid character being a hero, or not caring about a thing, he is like the "final boss/antagonist" of the realm the hero is summoned into.
I think it's important to remember when looking at character designs and names, the characters of Ains faction are literally from a game. Hence "Touch Me" being the name of a player in a game.
Nux wasn’t familiar with Overlord? I was certain if anyone knew how absurdly epic it was; it’d be lord Nuxanor himself. (Unless of course this is just him talking about how much he likes it and is showing it off to his fans, he’s done that a few times)
the absolute best scene in overlord is the arnea .. where the group of adventurers intrude and face him .. while one reads his pwer levels and he takes of his ring hiding his power
fun fact: "Touch-Me" is actually short for "Touch Me If You Can" one of the top PvP players from the original Ygdrassil MMO and cofounder of the guild Ains Ool Gown, who created Sebas and Cocytus
The dub for this is also really good. It's currently on season 4 and the stupidity of one of the nobles of the Empire is hard to wrap your head around. It's a surprise he didn't get himself killed immediately.
fyi, I dont remeber from what episode or where its mentioned but the name Ains Ooal Gown actually means Nines Own Goal form his guild before he isekai'd. I love that theres more to the name than just how cool it sounds.
The og guild was called nine's own goal because it had 9 people, touch me was the leader and the one who got ainz in Unfortunately something happened to one of the players and they had a fight, ulbert blamed touch me and they rebranded with Ainz as the leader since he got along with everyone and welcomed more people until tgey got to 41
No, nines own goal was the old guild…with 9 members. But there was trouble with the leadership, and when new players joined, they reformed as Ainz ooal gown under momonga as the new guild leader.
Being a yandere isn’t kawaii, it’s having a serious and dangerous mental illness. Being together with a yandere isn’t just masochism, it’s a death wish.
YOU NEEED TO WATCH THE FULL OVERLORD! and once is over thats when you should make a sum up :V It will bring back the top anime flexes... cuz overlord is full of that
I don’t know if it’s been said or not, but, for anyone who didn’t know, Warrior Touchme was one of the top players of Yggdrasil, he was a world champion class player, and his name is actually a challenge to everyone he fights.
I think for the warrior named touch me, he had a class/armor that could only be gained if you were ranked number 1 on at least one of the nine servers. His name was supposed to mean touch me if you can
Overlord is by far my favorite anime ever, I love the badass way the characters are and the fact that the story follows arguably the future Main Antagonist of their world.
Ainz big brain strategy: while taking over the world because I am the demon lord of this series I would pretend to be the op chosen Hero and then just to further flex I would make one of my op servants pretend to be the demon lord only so I could have epic fights against him!
7:40 Spoiler: When Ainz said "So that's how it was" was because he noticed something about Ninya because the killer ripped his clothes off. He was a she. In many fantasy setting Female adventurers, especially weak ones, disguise themselves as male to avoid unwanted attention. Ainz reaction had a lot of lament in it.
Ironically the anime cuts a lot of extra info for instance ainz isn't isekaid from a normal scifi world, he's taken from a post apocalyptic dystopian cyberpunk world, where he stepped over street orphan corpses on a daily basis, ate nutrient paste, only got an elementary school level education at twelve (Normal for people like him), watched his mother drop dead from overwork, had never seen plants or stars due to the sheer destruction of the environment and to top it off the mega corps had replaced the governments as the main governing bodies.
You forgot that they need to wear Gas Masks to not die from shit and the acid rain

@@bryancrilley9108 “the goal of all life is death” doesn’t do that at all, it makes a person have no immunity to insta-death spells which most high level players or NPCs have, “cry of the banshee” is what he used to kill her because it’s a insta-death spell
@@someguyy194_2 You may want to go back and reread the books. He remarks that "the goal of all life is death" affects more than just people in the new world. Or did you think the entire area turning into a barren wasteland with poison air was a coincidence?
Overlord is my favorite anime of all time, I highly recommend it especially if you are an isekai fan
Of all Time? Bro
Overlord is my third fav anime of all time
watch more anime
@@danielcesar664 it is lol 💀
@@danielcesar664 Yep, I am a big fan of the isekai genre and Overlord does everything right. The closest second would be that time I got reincarnated as a slime. It's a personal favorite though, there are plenty of good anime out there especially in different genres
it's a statement that Ains' hardest fight was against one of his own.
but it kinda makes sense that they would be comparable to Ains. as back in the game, Ains was a player, and the Guardians protected the guild against other players.
Shalltear is stronger than Ainz. Ainz designed his build around role-play. Taking everything related to necromancy and undead that he could so as to be the "Undead Necromancer" character. Shalltear was perfectly min-maxed.
It's a testament to how good at planning combat Ainz actually is that he managed to win a fight he by all rights should have lost.
@@notbob555 Not only that, her build also exactly counters his. He's a necromancer who specializes in summoning undead, she's a holy paladin with a health drain weapon. He can't summon anything against her since she'd just heal off of it.
The novels are way better. Overlord is at it's best when the author goes into extrem amounts of detail in order to create a very realistic world filled to the brim with political intrigues (and of course ainz wont understand anything that is going on under the surface).
The anime cuts most of this and though I would not call it a bad show at all, the adaptation and it's charakters sadly lose a lot of depth because of that
Agreed been listening to audio version of the novels and they are so good. Shame they had to fit book 1-3 in a single season for pacing reasons since most anime watchers have no patience for some reason.
I'd have to disagree.
Reading how Ainz questions every single thing and doubts himself countless of times, making himself look like a total idiot, relying on his subjects' ideas and being led around, while he can just take over the world in seconds, is just sad and confusing.
Especially after I've read a flashback to the first raid of Nazarik, as Ainz has been shown as pretty smart strategist.
At least in anime they cut out all the annoying whining he goes through, cuz it rarely adds ANYTHING of value to the character.
On the political details I might've agreed on, if I ever liked those details, to each their own.
@@neksuscat Ainz is not dumb at all, he himself thinks of himself as average and I agree, but he never had a great education and therefor no idea of politics or simular things while being surrounded by brillant geniuses.
His imposter syndrom is a result of him being a replacebal saleryman for 90% of his life and is an important aspect of his charakter that helps to set him appart from bad leaders like philip or the elve king.
Of course everybody will have preferences but the hilarious "sasuga Ainz-sama" moments when aniz stumbels into a complicaded plan and ruins everything just by beeing present, as well as the amount of thought put into every little aspect of even minor charakters are something that makes overlord special and sets it appart from simular storys
@@artoriasds8456 I guess it's a prefference thing, as I don't see it all that appealing.
Nor was it all that well explained abiut his past.
I've read a couple of comments here that said his past was elaborated through some extra notes and stuff that barely got out of Japan.
If it's not in the story, how should I know about what makes the character and justifies his actions?
To me his character takes a 180° turn once he's thrown into another world.
From a smart strategist with low social skills to ever-doubting, awkward mess of a villain.
I like him more as he is portrayed in the anime, tbh.
@@neksuscat his past and the dystopian state of the world are brought up all the time, espcially in the earlier novels. It's never the focus of a conversation but Aninz compares the situations he is curently in with his old life a lot.
The brillant strategist part is still present in the new world like when he battled shalltear. But beeing good at playing Ygdrasil does not mean that he would exell in any other aspect of life at all. He was pasionat about this subject and had a lot of in game experience, but that does not change the fact that if you put someone who only ever had elementary school level education in control of a nation he will probably not be very good at it
If I recall, Touch Me as a username was in itself a flex.
Touch Me has some kind of deranged busted class he got from winning a PvP tournament, so what he's really saying with that username is "try to even touch me, I dare you."
World Champion is the class, only get it from winning the tournament. And only that class can wear his armor (+Ainz with his Perfect Warrior in the new world)
I thought it was something different. What I thought it was I won't say ....
Touch Me was the 3rd strongest player in all of the game. The Pure Silver Paladin! Ainz said himself that if he used the Guild Weapon (an OP item by itslef) he MAY have a change of defeating him
Ah yes, Overlord, the anime where the protagonist commits warcrimes like it's just Tuesday for him.
>>Overlord
>>war crimes
Youjo Senki (Saga of Tanya of the Evil) for war crimes loli, Overlord for sasuga bone-daddy crimes against humanity
So basically Xi Xinping....
As i have seen in another comment, yes, its just tuesday for him bc he comes from an even worse world
@@tntmaxter8607 Perhaps, but not feeling any attachment towards humanity is also a pretty large part.
@@darkelf2x1 Go say that to the lizardmen...
I like how realistic Overlord is, everyone wearing something that fit with their class when fighting no matter what gender they are.. like, there is no bikini armour for female knight, even shaltear and albedo wearing full plate armour when in battle mode..
*if you think about it, Albedo's helmet looks like Ruin Sentinel Helmet from Dark Souls 2
*for Pelinal Whitestrake in the reply section, i think bikini armour in episode 1 season 1 is not a KNIGHT, more like thief class like clementine.. which is doesn't make sense if a thief wearing full plate armour with shield..
There is bikini armor but its mostly because of tabula's fetish
@@profatgamer welp.. should have said "almost"
I mean, ains ool gown had around 40 primary members. They are far from carbon copies of each other given the character designs.
@@profatgamer lol
I would have guessed Perroronichino to have thag fetish
@@fabi3790 i wouldnt be surprised. Theres only 1 fetish he isnt into that we know of.
The dub voice for Ains is a top tier voice actor and I’m not sure if anyone would’ve been more accurate to the character and just better in general.
FYI He also narrates the audiobooks 😊
@@thricereckless 👌
It is legit the only book series that I have ever enjoyed reading, and I constantly try other books that interest me, but none can ever hook me like Overlord did. So many strings.
You wouldn't happen to know where i can grab the light novel right?
@@tntmaxter8607 the subreddit hs all the links to all the content in a gdrive. All the books, fantranslated, amd the ova stuff too!
how about trying Hitchwikers guide t the galaxy or something from Isaac Asimov? ive read them before overlord and kinda found some related things when reading again
If you are not hesistant to try some Chinese novels might i suggest reverend insanity.
It's almost same concept of guy getting isekaid to a new world with magic worms where he works hard for 500 years and dies only to time travel to the moment he started his training and decides fuck the world i am gonna become immortal.
Super evil,smart and very very patient mc without any harem stuff plus almost all the other powerhouses are smart as hell too
The thing about Ains's last 2 skills that he used to get rid of Einherjar is that together they're basically the ultimate instant kill combo
The Goal of All Life is Death makes it so that all instant death spells temporarily ignore ALL immunities and resistances, but at the cost of all of them having their cast set to 10 seconds
Meanwhile , Cry of The Banshee was the instant death spell that kills everything in a specific radious
And for those asking why he didn't just use this at the very beginning, if he had done that, Shalltear would have revived ,but would have still had all her mana and skills (including Einherjar) putting Ains into an unwinnable situation as there was no way he could use his half-baked melee build (which he would inevitably resort to as he would run out of mana eventually) to kill Einherjar and bring Shalltear's health back down to where Fallen Down could kill her before she killed him.
The best part is the combo TGoALiD + Cry of The Banshee is not even the greatest combo Ainz can pull out
Slight correction: TGoALiD doesn't set the cast time of instant death spells to 10 seconds, it delays the instant death effect itself by 10 seconds.
But think philosophically isn't the goal of all life is reproduction and death.
The anime waters down a lot. Overlord is pretty gruesome and brutal, and some of the stuff that's implied to be going on in the background but is never really explored is real messed up. I love the series because its basically one of the unusual series where the protagonist and his faction just go full unrepentant villain mode sometimes. Its even funnier when the MC is largely just bullshitting his way through just about every interaction. He ain't your usual isekai hero. Its edgy, but its a fun kind of edgy.
And he is an Edgy who does not want to be one and in fact is ashamed that his creation is like this (Although in a very exaggerated way)
The anime does actually tone down some stuff because the LN content gets way too brutal for TV.
Case in point, Clementine's death scene. In the anime Ainz stops after her spine and ribs snap and she vomits blood with her last breath. In the LN, he keeps going until a good amount of her innards were squeezed out through her mouth, like a toothpaste tube that somebody had stomped on.
He was THAT pissed.
"like a toothpaste tube someone had stomped on" Jesus fucking Christ
@@Byleththetransfem *SPOILER*
You can see why even after she got resurrected she spends every moment gibbering and catatonic from PTSD.
@@haineko1101 Where was it stated she was resurrected? In the LN her body disappeared but there was never any follow up to that plot thread
@@noahduncan126 the noncanon mediocre Game is what they're talking about I'm pretty sure.
Him calling Shalltear a loli was so surprising for me because I actually never considered her one. Like to me a loli has to look like or sound like a child, along with being short and usually flat. But I never looked at Shalltear and thought she looked like a child, nor does the rest of the guardians treat her as such (except kinda this latest season when she is learning from Ainz). Mare and Albedo only ever tease her about being flat, not a short child. So I wouldn’t consider her a loli, where I would consider Beatrice from ReZero a loli because Subaru treats her like a child
Shalltear is a Mini-Granny
Tbf it might not look like shes flat but its revealed she stuffs her bra iirc lmao
She wears pads
Shaltear can be a loli if she wears pigtails. she's not locked into the toe though. she seems to be able to adjust her form anyway.
@@AmixLiark yea if she looked more childlike for sure I would think that
In Overlord there actually is a guy called Touch Me, he was one of Ainz's former comrades when they played the game before the isekai stuff
If memory serves, he was the guild leader when they were called “Nines Own Goal”.
@@DragonSword35d yes he actually was the one who brought Ainz into the guild that Ainz later lead
TouchMe was also top PvP player I believe, so his name was kinda an insult to his opponents cuz nobody could touch him
@@yuku6921 I think he was 3rd strongest after a bit research
@@hendeyjagger7489 Out of players, he was the strongest and some considered him the strongest in the whole game. One of the only few who won a massive world champion pvp tournament (and the reason why he got the class World Champion). In 1v1, he was unbeatable.
Shaltear is actually the youngest NPC at least interms of being made, since the update that brought some of her classes, ride/rise of the Valkries came out later, Her exact age isnt known but She seems to be younger than Aura which is around 70ish years old.
Awesome to see you checking it out. Was very into Overlord when reading the LN. (Also, consider the abridged version. Has some hype moments.)
Overlord is interesting. Ainz is great, but the best parts are how the entire world is dealing with the massive powerhouse of Nazerick suddenly popping into existence. There are tons of perspectives. It’s really a shame that the anime fell in quality, since the LN just gets better and better as the world expands.
Ainz: I have no idea whats going on!?!?
Demiurge: Your plans far exceed
my expectations!!!
I wish overlord would never end but the author wants to finish it soon. It was a good journey cant wait to see how it ends 🏴☠️
He said 18 volumes but I think he pushed it back to 19 when volume 15 was split in half. Hopefully we get more than that
@@Medic99z the plan was initially 20 right?
@@mrminecraftcubeable Yes but he constantly changes how much he says he’ll do
@@noahduncan126 idk i like the novels, hope he gets it don't properly without rushing
I think all japanese authors got shook by Miuras death (Berserk), its such an iconic series that having it be cut short by premature author death must have put things into perspective. Almost all long runners have suddenly announced a planned series end in the last couple of years
I love how faithful the series is to its roots in dungeons and dragons and other rpg elements. It's a great show easily in my top 3 of all time.
Nux: "Yandere doesn't appeal to me."
Yanderes: "We can make you to."
Us overlord fans: this does put a smile on my face
Fun fact: One of the members of Ainz Ooal Gown, the guild, was murdered IRL for hearing something he shouldn't have about a corporate secret. There's a reason Ainz don't wanna go back people. Hypercapitalist corporate ruled cyberpunk hell
Honestly, Overlord took my favorite Anime spot. Originally Beserk and Log Horizon were the top, but everything in Overlord resonates with me when it's literally just me in an Anime...Skeleton Race from an RPG? Check. Necromancer? Check. Guild Leader/Officer? Check. Magic focus? Check. Political play? Check. Everyone assumes you are smarter than you are because you guess accurate a lot? Check. Roll with that assumption because it helps later when you need to get shit done? Check.
And the list goes on...xD
And all the complaints people had about OP Gary Stu characters goes right out the window, because Ainz is the Stuest Stu of all time, and you all love him. HYPOCRISY, THY NAME IS WEEB!!
@@Alondro77 Spoken like someone obsessed with power scaling. Ainz faces plenty of other challenges and he’s nowhere near perfect. He’s also quite often not the focus of the story. The perspectives of a massive number of characters are equally, if not collectively more important, than that of Ainz. If you believe Ainz is any variation of Mary Sue, you do not understand why people complain about them.
@@Alondro77 Um...The reason noone complains about his OP Powers is because this is supposed to be a Power Fantasy not pretend to be a normal story.
And on top of that, Overlord does OP right by having him constantly hold back and hide his powers for fear of another Player being around. He casts Super Tier Magic to bait a response, hands out World Items to the Guardians, questions everyone's motives, all to avoid putting Nazerick in a situation they aren't prepared for.
Ainz and Nux. Two of my favorite undead.
"the goal of all life is death" spell sounds way cooler in the dub
mehhh
mehh
いいえ､日本語のほうがいいよ
I will admit. I can't wait for the time when the meme of 'Buy my f***ing s***!' becomes a reality. Ainz really does everything he can to make the world he's in better.
Nux just have to see the "Ains stops to buff himself" clip, THAT is flexing
the thing is Overlord did it first since this came out like what 2015 and elden ring is like what 2021 or something so its actually elden ring wrighting down what Ainz said to give it to one of their bosses after changing it ever so slightly
What about No game No life?
@@hendeyjagger7489 idk i never watched no game no life
@@lucygirl1111 Blank never loses or smth. It's pretty good.
16:45 "There's no legendary warriors guy named Touch-Me-Sama"
Remember, these were the usernames of Ainz's group. Sure some had 'serious' usernames like Wish III and Ancient One, but you had some edgelords, trolls, and outright cringe with Beast King Mekongawa, Touch Me, and Luci★Fer.
Oh my boy... you're about to LOVE this anime.
Shalltear was technically stronger than Ainz at that fight at the end of season 1. But Ainz was a (great) PvPer, knew exactly her strengths and weaknesses, and got all the preparation he could have before fighting her. Shalltear thought that, being one of the strongest floor guardians after Rubedo, got her victories through sheer brute force without planning. This why she lost twice in a row.
The latest season is as good if not better than the first season. One example is that Albedo will do way more than just be a waifu now. A lot of politics will happen and things will move fast but in a great pace.
I'm still pissed that they cut the Sacred Kingdom arc to make a movie out of it. We will still get it animated, but the story will be even more cut due to budget and time cost, also it disturb the continuity of the series. From the point of an anime-only viewer, the started talking about a phantomatic war that happened in a near kingdom from a certain episode (no spoiler) and how much it was a great deal. It is a important plot point and if you don't read the novel or watch the movie you might get confused.
@@rosariocervo8646 true
Ainz isn't even a master PvPer. He is good, but he'd basically be in the top 10%. For an example, he never managed to beat Touch Me who was the best PvPer. Ainz was great at tactics and strategy, as he basically learned nearly every spell in the game and what to do with and against them.
Also his build was complete RP. So it wasn't even optimized for PvP. He just went for all death and necromancy magics, and is why he has the skill The Goal Of All Life Is Death.
@@Myltsi91 When you are in the top 10% with a full RP set, you are by definition a master PvPer. With a min/maxed character, he would have more than a fair chance to beat Touch Me or anyone else. He is just that good with a far from optimal build.
@@Myltsi91 I corrected my comment. Thanks!
Season 4 just got started last month, and now, the seriousness keeps coming, every Tuesday!
the great thing about this isekai, is that instead of the isekaid character being a hero, or not caring about a thing, he is like the "final boss/antagonist" of the realm the hero is summoned into.
I think it's important to remember when looking at character designs and names, the characters of Ains faction are literally from a game. Hence "Touch Me" being the name of a player in a game.
Nux wasn’t familiar with Overlord? I was certain if anyone knew how absurdly epic it was; it’d be lord Nuxanor himself. (Unless of course this is just him talking about how much he likes it and is showing it off to his fans, he’s done that a few times)
Bro whenever I think of overlord I think of nux
Yeah, it's the latter. He did a video about it some years ago
the absolute best scene in overlord is the arnea .. where the group of adventurers intrude and face him .. while one reads his pwer levels and he takes of his ring hiding his power
One of my favorite notes about Overlord is how they straight up call out the in-world creators of the guardians for their weird tastes.
The funniest part is that so far that fight with Shaltear was the biggest obstacle on Ainz path.
fun fact: "Touch-Me" is actually short for "Touch Me If You Can" one of the top PvP players from the original Ygdrassil MMO and cofounder of the guild Ains Ool Gown, who created Sebas and Cocytus
Overlord came out in 2010 as WN and 2012 as LN, so anything you see that looks like overlord is inspired by it.
12:06 I see how this enteres the flex video
Man sent in a random maid, random maid proceeded to destroy
The dub for this is also really good. It's currently on season 4 and the stupidity of one of the nobles of the Empire is hard to wrap your head around. It's a surprise he didn't get himself killed immediately.
The way of Ainz says "Super Tier Magic" is so *powerful*
Overlord is great.
High recommend.
🎩
🐍 no step on Snek! 🇺🇸🇭🇰
I have to admit this series is getting much more interesting well animated, hope they can do more seasons
It's cool seeing things from like a villain perspective and it's alot more detailed than what the anime shows
fyi, I dont remeber from what episode or where its mentioned but the name Ains Ooal Gown actually means Nines Own Goal form his guild before he isekai'd. I love that theres more to the name than just how cool it sounds.
The og guild was called nine's own goal because it had 9 people, touch me was the leader and the one who got ainz in
Unfortunately something happened to one of the players and they had a fight, ulbert blamed touch me and they rebranded with Ainz as the leader since he got along with everyone and welcomed more people until tgey got to 41
No, nines own goal was the old guild…with 9 members. But there was trouble with the leadership, and when new players joined, they reformed as Ainz ooal gown under momonga as the new guild leader.
"Maximize Magic:Yo Mama's Gay"
love that part lmao
Overlord is my favorite Isekai and I would strongly recommend any Isekai enjoyers to check it out.
The biggest way you can tell this started in an MMO game setting is the fact there's a guy called Touch Me
Unrelated to the video, but Nux has the best virtual model I've ever seen. It's so expressive, and the movement is almost believable, wtf?
everyone just think yandere is simply cute and kawai, until they find them self bearing 28 stab wounds, didnt even had a chance
Being a yandere isn’t kawaii, it’s having a serious and dangerous mental illness.
Being together with a yandere isn’t just masochism, it’s a death wish.
YES ITS IN THE LITTLE DETAILS. There are so many little things that make this anime amazing! ITS IN THE LITTLE THINGS!!
Yanders don't appeal to you, YOU appeal to yanderes.
YOU NEEED TO WATCH THE FULL OVERLORD! and once is over thats when you should make a sum up :V It will bring back the top anime flexes... cuz overlord is full of that
ainz stopped an all out attack from an angel even though he is a mage damn just imagine he touch me is
6:19 there is also the path where we insult each other, thats equality
I don’t know if it’s been said or not, but, for anyone who didn’t know, Warrior Touchme was one of the top players of Yggdrasil, he was a world champion class player, and his name is actually a challenge to everyone he fights.
Oh, I remember Overlord. It's a great time, comedy, chaos and drama. Oh, and a lot of death.
I think for the warrior named touch me, he had a class/armor that could only be gained if you were ranked number 1 on at least one of the nine servers. His name was supposed to mean touch me if you can
Finished season 1 recently. Heavily invested in it and even made recap videos for season 1. Sasuga Ainz-sama!

Overlord is by far my favorite anime ever, I love the badass way the characters are and the fact that the story follows arguably the future Main Antagonist of their world.
14:31 he doesn't get hurt he faked his reaction
This my no.1 anime i have watched over 500 anime but this one just hits For me in a way i cant explain
And today's episode... Woah.
RIP Sweet Prince.
That fight against Shalltear, the best thing about that fight is that Ainz win using cash shop items.
The CG definitely sticks out, but it's worth it to have four seasons of this show
I would love to play a JRPG where you're a hero in the making surviving in a world where the ones at the top are Ainz and his pantheon.
This Nightmare before Christmas anime looks hype

Overlord is one of my top 3 favorite anime of all time, I'm glad people are finally realizing how good it is.
Ainz does not believe in traumatic events, he is the traumatic event
Overlord is Badass.
Hail Ainz Ooal Gown, the incarnation of Justice!
Also overlord is one of the few anime I love watching the dubs for
Ainz big brain strategy: while taking over the world because I am the demon lord of this series I would pretend to be the op chosen Hero and then just to further flex I would make one of my op servants pretend to be the demon lord only so I could have epic fights against him!
Touch Me is actually marked as a World Champion, so he's one of THE best players of Yggdrasil xD

Ainz is not evil just for the sake of being evil, he is evil for the betterment of all that is his.

In many fantasy setting Female adventurers, especially weak ones, disguise themselves as male to avoid unwanted attention. Ainz reaction had a lot of lament in it.
