actually, ainz is a level 100 mage, which is the max level a character can be, all the guardians are also level 100. Shalltear is a true vampire level 100, so, in terms os level, ainz and shalltear are equal. But Ainz is a level 50 warrior when he is momonga, that means that ainz would never beat shalltear in a hand to hand fight, but the skill that ainz used (perfect warrior) transfer his mage skills to warrior skillls, which means that he can, temporarly, be a level 100 warrior. I hope u understood
6:12 that was Aura's skill of Bloodlust. Ainz hesitated a bit before killing Shalltear and a bit means a lot in that pace of fighting. so Aura used her skill
@@leomarelejordeii6352 na it was explained in the novel. Ainz didn't want to kill Shalltear. He just had no other choice. and its normal to hesitate before doing something you don't want to, but that hesitation would have spelled trouble for Ainz, that's why Aura interfered.
*they didn't get teleported. that was Ainz's attack. the land died, it turned into desert. Here's the full context* It was a skill that could only be used once every 100 hours. The name of the skill-「The Goal of All Life Is Death」. In an instant, a clock with its hands marking the twelve o’clock position appeared behind Ainz’s back. He then cast a spell. “「Widen Magic: Cry of the Banshee」.” A woman’s scream rang throughout the surroundings like a ripple. It was a shout with an instant death effect. [.........] While Ainz was busy dodging the 「Einherjar」’s attacks, twelve seconds passed. Having completed a full revolution, once again, the hand on the clock pointed toward the sky. And Ainz’s secret weapon activated. That moment-the world died. It was not a figure of speech. Everything had died. In front of his eyes, the 「Einherjar」 turned into a white mist and began to crumble. Even the lifeless construct had died instantly. Likewise, Shalltear’s kin, succumbing to a power that they could not resist, began to die out. But it did not end there. Even the air that was devoid of life died and turned the 200-meter diameter into a space where breathing was impossible. If there had been a being here who needed to breathe in order to live, the dead air would have contaminated the lungs and ended its life. Not only that, the land died as well. With Ainz at its center, an area measuring 200 meters in diameter instantly turned into a desert. In a world where only death existed, the only thing left moving was Ainz and Shalltear. Ainz’s secret weapon, 「The Goal of All Life Is Death」, it strengthened the instant death effect of spells and skills to the point where even those with complete immunity were killed. A method to defend against it was to, like Shalltear, deploy a self-resurrection effect and so on. It was also the reason why even inanimate objects like the air and land had died. Although its effects weren’t to this extent in YGGDRASIL, in the real world, it was much more clearly pronounced in the form of granting ‘Death’ to all equally.
@@tribaldeity1939 Yep thats part of Overlord's charm. The author himself said that Ainz being Overpowered is one of the fundamental aspects of Overlord and lack of a worthy enemy lets him explore the world from the completely different point of view
@@r.a.fgattaiguy845 im surprised that you're reading the novel but still come to that conclusion. You know that cash shop item against player is useless. Its just worked when fighting bosses. Duhh Edit: Ainz and peroronchino was once part of no cash shop items alliance but they gave up after being jealous of seeing other guild members buying customized cosmetic items for their avatar.
I am saying this after reading chapter 1 and 2, which is where I´m currently at, I don´t think Yggdrasil was P2W, otherwise there is no way it would´ve been such a popular game
@@BrianxStephanie Actually that gear was holy protection. Being essentially a Paladin/Antipaladin Shalltear has a lot of Holy type skills. See how the cloak has a kinda Moses, tattered hermit feel to it. That's because since she'd most likely have a high variety of Holy spells he decided it was best to be able to handle those and compel her to use them.
Hey guys. Wanna make it an entirely different scene? See how in the anime ains flubs breaking the hourglass? In the novel, he hesitates... Because the thought of killing one of his children weighed down on him. That scene broke my heart when i read it in the novel. Small change, but gives it a whole new meaning. You guys are awesome!
This is explained in the manga but not addressed in the anime (so far) but i think you might want this information since it shoulden't count as a spoiler. Ainz isn't using his god staff becuase if someone steals or destroys it then his guild and anything related to it (servants, ownership of the tomb etc.) gets wiped. Even though this new world doesen't operate exactly as the game Ainz played (YGDRASIL) he doesen't wanna take the chance for a stat boost when he could loose everything.
Nicholas Alexander Frederik Strate wait what? If the staff got destroyed or stolen, his servants will all be disappeared? I know that the staff boost his stats and all, but if i remember correctly, Wasn't it only important to him because it boost his stats and represents his guild?
Kook Nagisa if you remember correctly, Ains use that staff to overwrite Albedo backstory, based on that we can assume that the staff probably has the power to overwrite NPC backstory thus making it one of the most dangerous weapon if it fall into other hands outside of the Nazarick
dinliner08 Ohhh yup. I do remember that he used it in ep 1 to overwrite her character, but what if someone destroys the stuff instead of using it? What will happen to the guardians and servants? I don't think they will perish if that happens, right?
In Yggdrasil. When you have a guild, you must provide it with an item as a guild representation. If this item was destroyed, so the guild would go too. It's the reason why that staff can provide administrative status. The one who can use that staff is guild owner himself. This is the top reason why Ainz afraid of Nferia skill to use any kind of item. He afraid if he can also use that staff.
that 'eye thing' behind Shalltear was Aura's using bloodust to distract her from Ainz because in that same instant Ainz hesitated to use the last item.
If I remember correctly, the eye in the end is supposed to be Aura's special ability. Also, Shalltear is not OP she's just above average. If you try comparing her with someone like Touch Me who was one of the strongest players in the world she won't last a minute fighting him. This world's inhabitants are more powerfull than you may think, although in Nazarick they wouldn't be able to do anything without using "World Items". In some way, only wielding World Items can make you dangerous for any guild in Yggdrassil. Try to catch everything in the frist episode of second season, it's quickly made so many things happen before you notice them. Good reaction as always! :P
when it comes to the Guardians, Shalltear is on the top 3, the reason Ainz wasn´t sure he could beat her was because he´s not good in a 1v1, while Shalltear´s whole kit is designed to be good at that
In case if nobody told you. Players make theirs created NPCs` lore and character but in places where they haven`t wrote(how they habit themself, what they like) if that does not fall under written part or devotion to guild, is being taken from theirs respective creators
All the floor guardians (Albedo, Shalltear, Cocytus, Aura, Mare, Demiurge, the 4th floor one, Sebas, even Pandora's Actor) are level 100. Ainz of course is also Lvl. 100. The Pleadies (Yuri, Lupus, Narberal, Solution, CZ and Entoma) are between Levels 46-63. A standard Nazarick Death Knight is around lvl. 40. So there's your threshold on power levels. Some fluctuate on who they're fighting and what weaknesses are exposed so be wary to an extent. Ainz also did some extra events while it was a game so he has over 700+ spells at his disposal!
In case you were confused at the end of the fight... Ainz Hesitated at the end when he was about to break the cash shop item. Aura used an intimidation skill to distract Shalltear. He didn't want Ainz named stained in a loss for his feelings of killing a member of his family. (this racked my brain for a while, never really explained in the anime) I loved your reactions to this season. You guy have earned the sub!
yup Ainz is the strongest player but momonga wasnt. momonga was the highest ranked necromancer but not magic caster and not warrior class, but ainz now has access to all the 41 supreme beings armors and weapons and the most OP weapon besides world tier items, the guilds grail staff
he cant wear all the other supreme beings armor and use their weapons in the game while they're in the game which is why he would never beat Ulbert nor Touch_me, i guess if he wanted to (as leader) he could use the staff but i mean thats not fair hahaha, however without the staff if he gets in a pvp magic fight he could just use Ulberts armor and weapon as a boast or in a warrior pvp he could use touch_me's stuff as a boast. but against ulbert and touch me, he wouldnt be ainz he would be momonga because he doesnt have access to their stuff.
Shalltear was being controlled by the dress of the lady she killed in the attack the owner is dead so it's useless and the eye was mare using a spell to distract her
Hi guys. If you really like Overlord you might be able to enjoy Goblin Slayer. The style of animation is very close to Overlord. The 1st episode is very graphic and dark but just give the chance to anime.
s2 is kinda different but dont let that sway you it'll all make sense in the light novel lol but the middle and end of s2 is worth the beginning and s3 is worth watching s2
It's not showed well in the anime, but Ainz is very lonely throughout the series because he still sees the people around him as NPCs. like when you're in a game, you get attached to a character but you know they're not real/sentient so you still want to have a conversation with a real person. that's how he feel.
the LN is what I guess you could call Megamalist, it´s heavy on thought, description and detail about most of what happens, it´s obvious why they couldn´t include all of it on an animated series but it´s still a shame they skip so much
@@BrianxStephanie All I can say season 1 is the best in term of animation and plot even though there are still a lot of details missing from the light novel which is crucial for world building. There's also a backstory of the guild ainz ooal gown while still in the game which helps us to understand more of the NPCs and momonga. Also, the fight between Ainz and shalltear was a lot better in the novel. Conclusion is anime onlies tend to think they figured out a plot hole when it is madhouse fault to not properly do their job.

The desert area is from the skill he used at the end of episode 12....killed everything around him
season 2 is good because it shows you more of the world and the new season 3 is really good because it makes ainz look more of a villain
actually, ainz is a level 100 mage, which is the max level a character can be, all the guardians are also level 100. Shalltear is a true vampire level 100, so, in terms os level, ainz and shalltear are equal.

Can you guys try this anime: Classroom of the elite :) i bet you'll enjoy it
Season 2! Season 2!
Then... Season3! Season 3!
6:12 that was Aura's skill of Bloodlust. Ainz hesitated a bit before killing Shalltear and a bit means a lot in that pace of fighting. so Aura used her skill
Finally! Someone explain it! Thank you!
*Ariagatoooo!!!!*
Thats a fact that can be understood on tbe novel
I thought that was Paranormal Intuition by Lord Ainz when he buffed himself up before attacking
@@leomarelejordeii6352 na it was explained in the novel. Ainz didn't want to kill Shalltear. He just had no other choice. and its normal to hesitate before doing something you don't want to, but that hesitation would have spelled trouble for Ainz, that's why Aura interfered.
*they didn't get teleported. that was Ainz's attack. the land died, it turned into desert. Here's the full context*
It was a skill that could only be used once every 100 hours.
The name of the skill-「The Goal of All Life Is Death」.
In an instant, a clock with its hands marking the twelve o’clock position appeared behind Ainz’s back. He then cast a spell.
“「Widen Magic: Cry of the Banshee」.”
A woman’s scream rang throughout the surroundings like a ripple. It was a shout with an instant death effect.
[.........]
While Ainz was busy dodging the 「Einherjar」’s attacks, twelve seconds passed. Having completed a full revolution, once again, the hand on the clock pointed toward the sky.
And Ainz’s secret weapon activated.
That moment-the world died.
It was not a figure of speech.
Everything had died.
In front of his eyes, the 「Einherjar」 turned into a white mist and began to crumble. Even the lifeless construct had died instantly. Likewise, Shalltear’s kin, succumbing to a power that they could not resist, began to die out.
But it did not end there.
Even the air that was devoid of life died and turned the 200-meter diameter into a space where breathing was impossible. If there had been a being here who needed to breathe in order to live, the dead air would have contaminated the lungs and ended its life.
Not only that, the land died as well. With Ainz at its center, an area measuring 200 meters in diameter instantly turned into a desert.
In a world where only death existed, the only thing left moving was Ainz and Shalltear.
Ainz’s secret weapon, 「The Goal of All Life Is Death」, it strengthened the instant death effect of spells and skills to the point where even those with complete immunity were killed.
A method to defend against it was to, like Shalltear, deploy a self-resurrection effect and so on.
It was also the reason why even inanimate objects like the air and land had died. Although its effects weren’t to this extent in YGGDRASIL, in the real world, it was much more clearly pronounced in the form of granting ‘Death’ to all equally.
"the land died!!!!" im dead hahahaha "(>.
@@tribaldeity1939 that was how it was said... all the soil etc turned into sand. it basically became a desert. just read the context you'll know
That is the most badass skill wow xD!
lol i know it just gets me everytime, ainz is so op he killed the land its self, just like in ep4 he basically killed the sky w/ black hole
@@tribaldeity1939 Yep thats part of Overlord's charm. The author himself said that Ainz being Overpowered is one of the fundamental aspects of Overlord and lack of a worthy enemy lets him explore the world from the completely different point of view
The most powerful strategy of every game: Pay to win.
I just started the LN, and with all the details they gave on Yggdrasil, it sounds really P2W
@@r.a.fgattaiguy845 cuz they're loving it
@@r.a.fgattaiguy845 im surprised that you're reading the novel but still come to that conclusion. You know that cash shop item against player is useless. Its just worked when fighting bosses. Duhh

@@r.a.fgattaiguy845 haha okay. Dont missed out the prologue.
Lord Ainz didn't use his full gear so not to show the enemy his full power and risk having it all taken from him if they came in and killed him.
We actually thought about that when editing
@@BrianxStephanie Actually that gear was holy protection. Being essentially a Paladin/Antipaladin Shalltear has a lot of Holy type skills.

that eye behind Shalltear was Aura doing to distract her so Lord Ainz can use item.

Cant wait for you to react to more OVERLORD!!!
"Order Gargantua to activate" oh boi
the thing behind shalteer was auras mist. Ainz hesitated to kill her since he didnt want to kill his friends creation.
Between season 1 and season 2 was a gap of nearly 3 years. That was a really hard wait :D
I literally wanna see Gargantua beat Shalltear's ass but i highly doubt they can control that bigass Golem lol
Staff of ains ooal gown is a world class item. And the crystals used to build it are a god level item.
2nd. On to the second season
If I remember correctly, the eye in the end is supposed to be Aura's special ability. Also, Shalltear is not OP she's just above average.

to be save and (just) in case he gets killed by the enemy he wasn't using the really items they're hiding in the treasure dungeon.
it's how you make a credible masterplan
Word of advice, from this point on, this will be the last time you’ll feel this sympathetic to Ainz
They didn't teleport the clock around ainz last episode made the surrounding area turn to dust.
I like this
In MMOs Ainz is technically using the Premium power
Yes!!! Yes!!! Yes!!! Behold the power of the leader of the supreme beings
Awesome. Hope everything is going okay with the copyright strike guys. Stay strong.
josh torres support!💪💪
You guys are awesome subscribed to 2nd channel and dont worry we will still love the videos even if its heavy edited.
In case you were confused at the end of the fight...
Ainz Hesitated at the end when he was about to break the cash shop item. Aura used an intimidation skill to distract Shalltear. He didn't want Ainz named stained in a loss for his feelings of killing a member of his family.
(this racked my brain for a while, never really explained in the anime)
I loved your reactions to this season. You guy have earned the sub!
Aura*
It was Aura not Mare
Season 2 HYPE
yup Ainz is the strongest player but momonga wasnt. momonga was the highest ranked necromancer but not magic caster and not warrior class, but ainz now has access to all the 41 supreme beings armors and weapons and the most OP weapon besides world tier items, the guilds grail staff
No, I'm sure that Touch Me is still stronger.
Yeah, Touch Me was way stronger than Ainz, he was even world champion in PVP
not ainz momonga, ainz is cheating lol its like fighting everyone all at once
he´s not really cheating, what he did here in this fight he could also do in the game
he cant wear all the other supreme beings armor and use their weapons in the game while they're in the game which is why he would never beat Ulbert nor Touch_me, i guess if he wanted to (as leader) he could use the staff but i mean thats not fair hahaha, however without the staff if he gets in a pvp magic fight he could just use Ulberts armor and weapon as a boast or in a warrior pvp he could use touch_me's stuff as a boast. but against ulbert and touch me, he wouldnt be ainz he would be momonga because he doesnt have access to their stuff.
Season 2 you will find new interests characters
Fun fact aura help ains to win distraty shalter so ains can used the spell
Shalltear was being controlled by the dress of the lady she killed in the attack the owner is dead so it's useless and the eye was mare using a spell to distract her
That eye is a skill from Aura not Mare. I think it's called Bloodlust, a type of intimidation/distraction spell.
Hi guys. If you really like Overlord you might be able to enjoy Goblin Slayer. The style of animation is very close to Overlord. The 1st episode is very graphic and dark but just give the chance to anime.
Uncut version is on Patreon?

s2 is kinda different but dont let that sway you it'll all make sense in the light novel lol but the middle and end of s2 is worth the beginning and s3 is worth watching s2
Lord Ains is pay-to-win, confirmed.
maybe you would get confused seeing the season 2 at the beginning...
but when you get into it, you'll want to don't change that~...
It's not showed well in the anime, but Ainz is very lonely throughout the series because he still sees the people around him as NPCs. like when you're in a game, you get attached to a character but you know they're not real/sentient so you still want to have a conversation with a real person. that's how he feel.

Anime onlies have no ideas how good Overlord light novel actually is. Overlord anime is a poor adaptation.
it really is, even though it could be worse they´re missing out on so much
