Talk about brain freeze... On a serious note, Cocytus walking around his body as to not trample Brain showed the ultimate sign of respect among warriors even if he was disappointed he didn't join their side seeing the potential he would have added to their army.
Just as an additional fact to add depth to the scene. It is not mentioned in the anime, but the sword that he used is not an ordinary sword. "God Slaying Emperor Blade" is the sword that was originally used by Cocytus's creator and before he quit the game he passed the blade to Cocytus. For Cocytus that blade is an important memento that he only uses against enemies which earned his deepest respect.
I viewed Cocytus going around Brain's body as a way of saying that this man did in fact block the advancing army's path, forcing them to find an alternate route
Cocytyus wouldn't disrespect Brain's warrior stand. So I imagine he'd actually voice against using Brain as revival or parts. He stood in the face of certain death held his ground and died trying. That is why Cocytus not only froze the body. To preserve a warrior's body but walked around a possible fair few buildings. Brain fought for that ground and if you look its the only part that isn't frozen. He died defending a small patch of land and that will be his landmark and his grave.
F to pay respects for brain, he will be missed. A real one from season 1 he had a nice character arc he got over his depression and faced his fear truly a warrior.
F Truly, he had a huge personal arc, and I literally was a little saddened to see how quickly he was destroyed by Cocytus. I am not surprised. It was just heartbreaking. But, it was even better when you see that Cocytus literally walked around his body to give him the respect he deserved. And that's what I notice the most about those Nazarick, Ains and Cocytus anyway, they show respect and honor for those who earn it from them.
Brain: "True Nail Clipper!" Cocytus: *Absolute respect* Shaltear: "I raised that nail clipper" Also regarding Ainz's tactics back in Yggdrasil, he intentionally loses his first encounters against players to get as much info as possible while also revealing little of his, and then he absolutely crushes them on their next encounter. The only exception to this tactic are World Champion players like Touch me
@@CianaCorto actually in his final moments he actually entered into the realm of heroes so he was at least 45. I'd imagine he stronger than that though
@@CianaCorto It's not really his level, Cocytus only judged him by his stats at that moment but he used a few bottles of elixir as well as martial art buffs to boost his stats at that moment.
I swear!! After every episode of Overlord I feel like someone used some type of time magic on me cause this show literally feels like it lasts 5 minutes tops!!
Funnily, I fell the exact same way with She-hulk. Except while that show makes me feel like I only just sat down to watch it, and it's already ended without leaving any impact on my memories. This show makes me look at the clock and wonder where the hell the time went, and leaves me hungry for more Like if someone asked what happened in a single episode of Overlord, I feel like describing what hqppened would somehow take longer than the actual episode, while with She-hulk, I could sum it up in a few words. "she had to defend a supervillain in a courtroom."
Fun fact. If you pause in the right frame of the attack, you can see Brain did 7 slashes. His attack was a combination of true nail clipper and 6 fold slash, but he was able to do 7 at the end. While Gazef can only do 6. So at that moment Brain finally achived his dream of suprassing him even after he died.
Brain just surpassed gazef, his last attack was very strong, he just stepped in level 31(hero tier), and his last attack with all his life in it was equal to level 40. Respect.
@One smiley baldy I don’t think Cocytus has that nullification ability, but I’m actually not sure(I know he has skills to nullify weak magic and temporarily ignore attacks from weak magic weapons, but I don’t think he has physical nullification like Ainz). Still I don’t think Brain’s attack would’ve been strong enough to deal damage to his exoskeleton(even without the attack getting nullified).
@@imtheonehero9305 you can trust me. Here is cocytus's line from LN, proof: By. Levels, He. Is. Probably. Around. 40. However, he felt that other than that single strike, there was not much else power in him.
F for brain "Brian unglaus has surpassed Gazef stronoff and Reached the Realm of heroes" Coccytus left the Street that Brian was protecting unharmed It was the Street where he met Sabas and the same street where Gazef lived He wanted to defend that Place till the Bitter end And Coccytus respected him Brian himself realised Coccytus's honor when he gave Him his name and thought to himself "It's like a Dragon showing Respect to an Ant"
Cocytus was very respectful to Brain. Not only did he introduce himself, but he used a weapon that was overkill to his opponent and he was willing to wait for Brain to get ready and stepped within his reach. Which Cocytus did not have to step forward to cut him down(due to his size and weapon’s reach), but he wanted to give Brain the chance to strike back before cutting him down.
That tea party scene was surprising you knew something was gonna happen. I half expected the Princess to poison them when she offered them team or that Albedo would come in.
I thought "Nail Clipper" was just a meme but here we are, it truely was Brain's ultimate move xD It might even be the single attack that did the most damage to someone from Nazarik - Cocytus had to walk a whole minute extra.
@@LathropLdST Yeah, I recall that one. I just never expected him to own up to his "failure" (really, NW is too outgunned to hold it against Brain, he does his best) and turn it into his ultimate attack.
@@Praetarius Oddly I think Brain took the achievement of actually trimming one of her nails as a huge achievement and it encouraged him to come up with his troll skill of ultimate nail trimmer :) It's nice to see a character's arc come to a satisfying end.
I knew it was coming with the tea party. I knew why they were doing it, but while watching it, in the middle of the stabbing I forgot and for a moment I really thought they wanted her dead for some reason. Which just shows how good the direction was for that scene.
I feel bad for Lakyus. She is gonna be pissed when she comes to. It's understandable that her team ultimately saved her from dying, but still i can see her leaving the group for a short while even.
I just imagined her being so depressed then offing herself because even her own teammates betrayed her. (even tho they saved her) or maybe not who knows they might even end up in the happy farm
Her uncle escaped, so I imagine she will get over it eventually. Might cause a huge character shift/arc if she is ever brought up again in the novels/anime
The saddest thing is that Brain died without knowing Sebas was on Ainz side...if he knew I thing there would at least be a chance of him joining Nazarick. But that's still what I like about Overlord...keeping characters alive just because fans like them is poor writing.
it's an interesting whatif scenario that's fun to think about. On one hand I see a slim possibility of him switching on the other hand I see him smiling and drawing his sword still. But that's the beauty of Overlord right there.
I could see that happen. The guy whom Brain respected is on the other side of the evil guys will certainly make him doubt himself even a little bit. Probably somewhere along the line "did the Sorcerer King is good?", "are there more than what's meet the eyes of these massacre" or something.
Brain not only exceeded his limits in that fight, he broke the laws of the world going beyond what a human could achieve while maintaining his humanity, that's why his body began to fall apart. Nobody is talking about the last meal of the children of the orphanage.
That was some amazing respect. Honoring the guy blocking his path by taking the time to walk around his body as opposed to past it [to me] is freakin' huge.
Battle tactic and combat strategy is Ainz greatest subject. He is one of the leader of the top guild in MMO after all and in MMO it's a always a battle between guild non stop.
I love that Brain met the best floor guardian he could aka Cocytus, he is very respectful to Brain and treats him very well as a warrior so much as even after his defeat he went the extra step and took a detour to show him even more respect, I just love it. Thats why the 2 most favorite people in Nazerick for me is Cocytus and Sebas. Cocytus sees Brain holding a sword so he does not use his halberd and instead uses his sword, let us remember that Cocytus can wield 21 different weapons expertly Cocytus reveals after the fight that Brain was at lv 40 when he fought him at his peak condition I think. Also is defense to Pandora's actor bowing down there and Albedo's accusation that Ainz would never do that, well... Ainz would never loose too so there you go... are you gonna punish him now for losing too, Albedo needs to know that Pandora's actor had a much much different mission which he executed excellently which no other floor guardian especially Albedo could never have achieved mainly because she has a lot of pride and ego
I hope they dont get revived, not because i dont like them as characters. I love them both, they are my favourite humans. However, Gazef explicitly asked not to be revived while i imagine Brain not wanting to be revived aswell
fun fact : Brain's final attack on cocytus actually reached lv40~ which is far above Gazef meaning he actually managed to surpass Gazef in his final moments.
RIP Brain, or maybe not since he was preserved and can possibly be resurrected if Ainz decides to.Was wondering what Cocytus was doing walking around like that after the fight.... damn much respect.
Initially I thought Cocytus was trying to freeze-out any possible inhabitants of the buildings. It took me a solid 3-5 seconds after he finished walking around to realize the level of respect being paid!!!
That one pet of Aura’s that looked like a dinosaur was supposed to be a Godzilla reference. It was significantly smaller and it’s appearance had to be changed for copyright issues(in Yggdrasil), but funnily enough it is also one of the weakest of the pets that Aura brought along for this mission(the first weakest is the frog monster).
Aside from Cocytus and Brain fight I'm liking the other details given to us Anime only like: 1. Aura heading towards the Mage Guild. 2. Princess casually able to wield the empire's treasured sword which took a long time for Brain to master. 3. Blue Rose going somewhere south which according to the new world map will be either Slane Theocracy, Holy Roble Kingdom, Dragonic Kingdom or less likely Katze Plains (Nazarick's location)
Actually the ruined Kingdom Evileye was referring to was her homeland. It’s actually shown off on a LN Special where Ainz gets transported by himself a couple of centuries prior to the current timeline and journeys into the New World with Evileye(Keno) as his travel companion.
@@jacobjohnson8635 wonder if Elder Coffin Dragon Lord is still alive? I know she was alive when she destroyed Evileye's country but 300 years has passed since.
It was an honourable yet one sided fight between Brain and Cocytus. A walking blizzard is terrifying. I feel like the walking ice women are yuki onna. It’s interesting to see how cocytus did consider having brain on their side since he’s a fairly strong human. And there’s definitely a trick to Riku since he was remotely controlled armour. Also Ainz is pretty much a war general with tactics and lack of knowledge on politics and finance. And as I recall there was no way they could run away since Lakyus wanted to fight to the death which is futile. We covered volume 14 in quite a few episodes which makes me think that the series could definitely cover 2 volumes a season. There’s a theory going around that overlord is a story covering the villain before the hero arrives but that’s one possibility. The OP is one of my favourites I listen to on repeat. I’m kind of curious though on how well they can cover the 2 volumes in the movie without it feeling rushed or lacking since most movies usually cover a single volume at most. Side note but I have been watching pop team epic recently before the new season comes out and that show is super random and has so many art styles and skits that it’s hilarious and I question if I’m watching the right show a lot of the time lol Also Renner is sus lol
Was honestly hoping Brain would've got to meet Sebas for one last time. But in regards to the opening theme, I normally skip the openings after the first two or three times but this is probably one of the three anime I've ever let play all the way through each time (for season 4, I mean).
Its not glorified, no massacer how Nazerick stomps the army,. The scene with the death knights was just a glimps the kingdom faced and the struggle if they even could. The royal armys end, the betrayal toward a future humble king, facing evil himself. Only to realize he has a human side, and finally coming to realisation there is only death, atleast he was able to negotiate a fast death...which was destroyed by his own people he seeked to protect. Tragic. The short lived hoped of someone going against the Sorcerer King, only to realise they were aleady abandoned by other powers. The slow approach of the executioner marching towards their royal captial, with every step the end comes closer. The last fight of a true warrior finding his end at his peak. Showing enouh power and rising respect to safe a small part of a street from a cold embrace. The end comes closer
What's interesting is that the Author wanted to put in even MORE evil/graphic stuff in the novels, but his editor convinced him to remove some of the worst of it!
Ode to Brain, but I leave it to Maiden since they said it best!
"You die as you lived in a flash of the blade In a corner forgotten by no one You lived for the touch for the feel of the steel One man and his honour" --Iron Maiden - Flash of the Blade
With the tea party I thought that the leader had been replaced by a spy and they noticed and wanted to interrogate the spy where the real leader is. That it was the real one and they wanted to force her to flee is not something I expected. I also did not expect a dinosaur with a killer puppy personality. ^^ It's also quite curious how frail-looking little Renner can just swing such a big sword around and even hold it in just one hand without appearing to struggle with the weight. It's a shame I was already accidentally spoiled with the answer to that particular riddle. I think it'd have been fun to speculate about that. What I wonder is whether Ainz will spare the orphans. He did have a hand in creating that orphanage if I remember the start of the season correctly, so if there's anyone who's going to be spared, it'd be them. Though probably because they are at an age where they are impressionate enough that he can turn them into loyal servants with relatively little effort... I just really hope they won't end up designated albino sheep or what the term was again. If they end up reviving Brain (which I do not think will happen), I hope he'll become Cocyutus' subordinate. Either that or be assigned to Carne village to guard it alongside the goblins.
The actions of Evileye and her group surprised me cause it was out of the blue. Ainz going this deep in thought about his groups future is nice to hear. The part with Aura's pets was funny. You put up a nice final hoorah Brain.
Brain's death was really sad. He now joins his friend gazef stronoff in the afterlife. A true warrior. I liked that he redeemed himself and can face his friend gazef proud.
Brain not coming back, his character arc is done...he went from running like a coward, and shoulda died a pathetic guy to Shalltear, to dying as a true warrior in the eyes of the top swordsman in the world...badass
Doing a quick Google search, the anime is currently adapting Volume 14. The 12th and 13th Vol will be a movie. Vol 15 and 16 were released this year, however the English translations will come out next year. Unless they stretch the 15 and 16th volume like they did with the 14th, there won't be another season for quite some time. I mean I waited 4 years between s3 and s4 just like I did with Attack on titan. I'm used to it as an anime fan by now. Personally I feel like the movie will be rushed because the amount of content that is in Vol 12 & 13. There is a lot of political stuff like with the dwarves that shapes the perspective of Ainz in other peoples minds, but probably won't be adapted sadly.
I love that even in just her dress Lakyus is actually still really durable but still falls foul of third grader syndrome that everyone believes. Part of me thinks that she might have some dragon blood in her ancestry that may allow her to use Wild Magic hopefully ending up with Renner talking her into settling down in the Dragon Kingdom supporting Nazarick.
I liked Brain, even though I knew he would get cut down, somewhere in the back of my head I wanted someone from Nazarick probably Sebas to come in and have him spared.
it was a sign of respect when Cocytus had his body preserved so Brain can have a proper burial and when he went around his body is also a show of warriors respect
Wonderfull episode. Ainz defending the actions of Pandora's actor and Renner visiting an orphanage were nice, but the teaparty was great. I've always loved the way Tia and Tina adress Lakyus. Finally a group of mercenaries who take the sensible way out, even if they had to incapacitate their leader. Although you shudder to think how Lakyus is going to react. Brain's death was wonderfull and beautifully done. There is honour in Ainz's army. ( although I was shocked at the remark their not the good guys. Really, it's like sayung Tanya von Deguracheff is a bad girl ). And Aura brought her friends. The difference between bringing a procession of ice maidens and bringing a zoo is very clear. Wonder how it would have gone if Brain ran into her instead of Cocytus. We can only wonder and wait for fanfiction. And next week. Btw, anyone else believed Renner when she said she never held a sword before ?
Getting freeze *was* his proper burial. Brain's frozen body will probably stand forever in the ruin of the Kingdom's capital as a memorial to the man who earned Cocytyus respect.
Man too bad for Lakyus. She really wanted it defend her Kingdom. But her group says otherwise. Hopefully we see her again z I actually like Lakyus. Brain was the first to defend. And the first to fall. What a loyal warrior to the end. Next episode. Is where it all ends.
Everyone talks about the openings and yes I very much enjoy this one too, I still think S3 had the best one followed by S1 then S4 then S2. Great episode, here's hoping the last one doesnt have too horrible of CGI.
Honestly felt confused when they attacked lockyus. I was angry and wondering wtf was going on and thought renner had pulled everyone over to ainz, but then I thought maybe they were shape shifters from nazarik sent to kill her. I was flipping out lol, but relieved to see they were trying to save her. The part wit brain made me sad and mad at the same time. I wanna take over the show. This is too one sided.
maybe there's a chance for brain to get resurrected when Overlord learns about his death since he knew him when he was pretending to be an orihalcon warrior
Cocytus only uses that sword against warriors he acknowledges. That god slaying emperor blade is Cocytus prize possession, a weapon that his creator he worships used.
iirc in the book, Cocytus took Brain's body back to his floor in the Tomb as part of his display of trophies not just the Brain's sword but I might be misremembering it.
there’s one more thing most people didn’t realize is the fact that Cocytus used both hands on his sword. do you remember the fight with Lizardmen ? Cocytus said that they weren’t worthy enough for him to use both hand on his sword. in this episode, he used both hands, meaning that he considered Brain to be his equal. PS : what’s so funny to me is the fact that Brain got beaten twice by Ainz’s personal chairs. it sounds pathetic until you realize that those chair are LV100. lmao
By going with what Ainz was saying, kicking dust to blind enemies vision, prostrating to the ground while took a little knife for a sneaky thrust, and many other cheap tricks, were all those acceptable for winning a fight? I've been thinking those are all losers moves and only losers does that.
its the winner that decide what are loser moves. lets say your in a fight for survival and you know swordmanship you are up against a assassin. at that point everything the assassin would do would be labeled loser moves unless you die from the fight. in a fight for survival everything is off the tables.
The final episode is more tragic.... I don't want to spoil so yeah.... And the blue rose is using mind control like catching pokemon with normal PokeBall while the denizen in nazaric is using mind control like catching pokemon while using master balls.
Fan prediction here; Overlord will end with the next person to arrive to the New World, who will be one of the Yggdrasil game developers, and they will be so broken that they simply perma kill Ainz and all of Nazarick with contemptable ease (like Zeno erasing fused Zamasu kind of ease). As a developer this individual will have a rule breaking character build with literally every power, spell, ability, weapon and item that exists in the game, be level 999+ with no level cap and the stats to match, be totally immune to all physical and magical attacks and effects (straight up console command god mode here), have infinate HP and MP and instant regeneration of both, and be in possession of all the remaining World Items from Yggdrasil that players hadn't found before the shutdown (like 150+ out of the total 200 that exist) and maybe even duplicates of the ones that other players already had (since why not, they're a shitty dev). I could totally see such a person showing up, seeing what Ainz has been up to, and then using some special dev power to disband the Ainz Ooal Gown guild, erase all of it's possessions and NPC's, and then delete Ainz's character (either perma killing him outright, turning him into his original powerless human form to face torture and death like all the New World people who suffered the same fate because of him, or even have him wake up back in his original body in his shitty version of future Japan to live out the rest of his short and miserable life alone).
Talk about brain freeze... On a serious note, Cocytus walking around his body as to not trample Brain showed the ultimate sign of respect among warriors even if he was disappointed he didn't join their side seeing the potential he would have added to their army.

This episode caught me by surprise great episode
I love that Brain met the best floor guardian he could aka Cocytus, he is very respectful to Brain and treats him very well as a warrior so much as even after his defeat he went the extra step and took a detour to show him even more respect, I just love it. Thats why the 2 most favorite people in Nazerick for me is Cocytus and Sebas.
Cocytus sees Brain holding a sword so he does not use his halberd and instead uses his sword, let us remember that Cocytus can wield 21 different weapons expertly
Cocytus reveals after the fight that Brain was at lv 40 when he fought him at his peak condition I think.
Also is defense to Pandora's actor bowing down there and Albedo's accusation that Ainz would never do that, well... Ainz would never loose too so there you go... are you gonna punish him now for losing too, Albedo needs to know that Pandora's actor had a much much different mission which he executed excellently which no other floor guardian especially Albedo could never have achieved mainly because she has a lot of pride and ego
Brain and Stronoff are my favorite humans....sad to see Brain died :( would love to see either Brain or Stronoff gets revived in future though
The story has to continue, they did their job already.
I hope they dont get revived, not because i dont like them as characters. I love them both, they are my favourite humans. However, Gazef explicitly asked not to be revived while i imagine Brain not wanting to be revived aswell
fun fact : Brain's final attack on cocytus actually reached lv40~ which is far above Gazef
meaning he actually managed to surpass Gazef in his final moments.
the ship that we failed to protect 🥺
@@ryanarchen4830 nooooo 😭😭😭
Great episode RIP brain unglaus
RIP Brain, or maybe not since he was preserved and can possibly be resurrected if Ainz decides to.Was wondering what Cocytus was doing walking around like that after the fight.... damn much respect.
Brain would still have to accept the resurrection
Initially I thought Cocytus was trying to freeze-out any possible inhabitants of the buildings. It took me a solid 3-5 seconds after he finished walking around to realize the level of respect being paid!!!
That one pet of Aura’s that looked like a dinosaur was supposed to be a Godzilla reference. It was significantly smaller and it’s appearance had to be changed for copyright issues(in Yggdrasil), but funnily enough it is also one of the weakest of the pets that Aura brought along for this mission(the first weakest is the frog monster).
Aside from Cocytus and Brain fight I'm liking the other details given to us Anime only like:
1. Aura heading towards the Mage Guild.
2. Princess casually able to wield the empire's treasured sword which took a long time for Brain to master.
3. Blue Rose going somewhere south which according to the new world map will be either Slane Theocracy, Holy Roble Kingdom, Dragonic Kingdom or less likely Katze Plains (Nazarick's location)
Actually the ruined Kingdom Evileye was referring to was her homeland. It’s actually shown off on a LN Special where Ainz gets transported by himself a couple of centuries prior to the current timeline and journeys into the New World with Evileye(Keno) as his travel companion.
@@jacobjohnson8635 wonder if Elder Coffin Dragon Lord is still alive? I know she was alive when she destroyed Evileye's country but 300 years has passed since.
@@shahmeerzaid287 it's still alive according to vol 15
True Nail Cutter
What a great move
Gave me goosebumps really, as I saw Brain go off, with a smile still lingering. Dude was a real warrior! Respect well deserved!
It was an honourable yet one sided fight between Brain and Cocytus. A walking blizzard is terrifying. I feel like the walking ice women are yuki onna. It’s interesting to see how cocytus did consider having brain on their side since he’s a fairly strong human. And there’s definitely a trick to Riku since he was remotely controlled armour. Also Ainz is pretty much a war general with tactics and lack of knowledge on politics and finance. And as I recall there was no way they could run away since Lakyus wanted to fight to the death which is futile. We covered volume 14 in quite a few episodes which makes me think that the series could definitely cover 2 volumes a season. There’s a theory going around that overlord is a story covering the villain before the hero arrives but that’s one possibility. The OP is one of my favourites I listen to on repeat.
I’m kind of curious though on how well they can cover the 2 volumes in the movie without it feeling rushed or lacking since most movies usually cover a single volume at most.
Side note but I have been watching pop team epic recently before the new season comes out and that show is super random and has so many art styles and skits that it’s hilarious and I question if I’m watching the right show a lot of the time lol
Also Renner is sus lol
To watch PTE AND Overlord...
It makes you sus to me.
Renner has been sus since S2, especially around Climb ಠ_ಠ
@@LathropLdST what she did especially today and we know she’s on Ainz’s side. I’m saying based on her meeting the orphanage and seeing her father
Man i just love your reviews i have to admit
Was honestly hoping Brain would've got to meet Sebas for one last time. But in regards to the opening theme, I normally skip the openings after the first two or three times but this is probably one of the three anime I've ever let play all the way through each time (for season 4, I mean).
Its not glorified, no massacer how Nazerick stomps the army,.
The scene with the death knights was just a glimps the kingdom faced and the struggle if they even could.
The royal armys end, the betrayal toward a future humble king, facing evil himself. Only to realize he has a human side, and finally coming to realisation there is only death, atleast he was able to negotiate a fast death...which was destroyed by his own people he seeked to protect.
Tragic.
The short lived hoped of someone going against the Sorcerer King, only to realise they were aleady abandoned by other powers.
The slow approach of the executioner marching towards their royal captial, with every step the end comes closer.
The last fight of a true warrior finding his end at his peak. Showing enouh power and rising respect to safe a small part of a street from a cold embrace.
The end comes closer
What's interesting is that the Author wanted to put in even MORE evil/graphic stuff in the novels, but his editor convinced him to remove some of the worst of it!
I did not get why Cocytus walked to the buildings then back to the road. Now I know! :)
RIP Brain you will remember as a great warrior.
Ode to Brain, but I leave it to Maiden since they said it best!
"You die as you lived in a flash of the blade
In a corner forgotten by no one
You lived for the touch for the feel of the steel
One man and his honour" --Iron Maiden - Flash of the Blade
Only one more episode, that depress my heart. I hope I won't have to wait 4 more years for my favorite anime!
i feel crying... its hard to know 1 episode left of season 4 😭😭😭
It's a bop, it's a banger. True that 👌
With the tea party I thought that the leader had been replaced by a spy and they noticed and wanted to interrogate the spy where the real leader is. That it was the real one and they wanted to force her to flee is not something I expected.
I also did not expect a dinosaur with a killer puppy personality. ^^
It's also quite curious how frail-looking little Renner can just swing such a big sword around and even hold it in just one hand without appearing to struggle with the weight. It's a shame I was already accidentally spoiled with the answer to that particular riddle. I think it'd have been fun to speculate about that.
What I wonder is whether Ainz will spare the orphans. He did have a hand in creating that orphanage if I remember the start of the season correctly, so if there's anyone who's going to be spared, it'd be them. Though probably because they are at an age where they are impressionate enough that he can turn them into loyal servants with relatively little effort... I just really hope they won't end up designated albino sheep or what the term was again.
If they end up reviving Brain (which I do not think will happen), I hope he'll become Cocyutus' subordinate. Either that or be assigned to Carne village to guard it alongside the goblins.
Such a great season. "Are we the badies" has a new meaning.
Press F
R.I.P my boi brain cudos to cocytus
i think the reason why cocytus walked around is not to step over a warriors shadow
The actions of Evileye and her group surprised me cause it was out of the blue. Ainz going this deep in thought about his groups future is nice to hear. The part with Aura's pets was funny. You put up a nice final hoorah Brain.
Cocyotus also pulled out his sword - something he didn't do against the Lizards, where he said that the sword would be too powerful for the opponent.
Rip b BRAIN-SAN .. u r the true warrior !!
Brain's death was really sad. He now joins his friend gazef stronoff in the afterlife. A true warrior. I liked that he redeemed himself and can face his friend gazef proud.
Brain not coming back, his character arc is done...he went from running like a coward, and shoulda died a pathetic guy to Shalltear, to dying as a true warrior in the eyes of the top swordsman in the world...badass
Doing a quick Google search, the anime is currently adapting Volume 14. The 12th and 13th Vol will be a movie. Vol 15 and 16 were released this year, however the English translations will come out next year.
Unless they stretch the 15 and 16th volume like they did with the 14th, there won't be another season for quite some time. I mean I waited 4 years between s3 and s4 just like I did with Attack on titan. I'm used to it as an anime fan by now.
Personally I feel like the movie will be rushed because the amount of content that is in Vol 12 & 13. There is a lot of political stuff like with the dwarves that shapes the perspective of Ainz in other peoples minds, but probably won't be adapted sadly.
overlord comes out every like 3 years it's never been that fast of a release schedule
I love that even in just her dress Lakyus is actually still really durable but still falls foul of third grader syndrome that everyone believes.
Part of me thinks that she might have some dragon blood in her ancestry that may allow her to use Wild Magic hopefully ending up with Renner talking her into settling down in the Dragon Kingdom supporting Nazarick.
RIP Brain. We did not dislike you.
07:15 facts 🍻
I liked Brain, even though I knew he would get cut down, somewhere in the back of my head I wanted someone from Nazarick probably Sebas to come in and have him spared.
it was a sign of respect when Cocytus had his body preserved so Brain can have a proper burial and when he went around his body is also a show of warriors respect
Wonderfull episode. Ainz defending the actions of Pandora's actor and Renner visiting an orphanage were nice, but the teaparty was great. I've always loved the way Tia and Tina adress Lakyus. Finally a group of mercenaries who take the sensible way out, even if they had to incapacitate their leader. Although you shudder to think how Lakyus is going to react. Brain's death was wonderfull and beautifully done. There is honour in Ainz's army. ( although I was shocked at the remark their not the good guys. Really, it's like sayung Tanya von Deguracheff is a bad girl ). And Aura brought her friends. The difference between bringing a procession of ice maidens and bringing a zoo is very clear. Wonder how it would have gone if Brain ran into her instead of Cocytus. We can only wonder and wait for fanfiction. And next week. Btw, anyone else believed Renner when she said she never held a sword before ?
yes its true she has never held a sword before.
you'll understand the reason why in the last episode
Getting freeze *was* his proper burial.
Brain's frozen body will probably stand forever in the ruin of the Kingdom's capital as a memorial to the man who earned Cocytyus respect.
I’m curious if that ice is permanent or it will eventually melt, but also curious could Ainz turn him into an undead warrior of a hero level
the way Brain was preserved I imagine he has the potential to be revived later, prolly not in the anime, but it shows potential.
Sad to see Brain go, but at least the Blue Rose is still kicking, the scene were they force Lakyus out of there was great and unexpected
I want to see the confusion on elf King when he sees the twins
Man too bad for Lakyus. She really wanted it defend her Kingdom. But her group says otherwise. Hopefully we see her again z I actually like Lakyus. Brain was the first to defend. And the first to fall. What a loyal warrior to the end. Next episode. Is where it all ends.
I think brain should’ve made contact and put a chip in cocytus’s arm. Showed him being fast enough but not strong enough or vice Versa
They hinted at the tea incident in the preview btw
Check out kadokawa's official channel
calling it now, brain is going to end up as a vampire in nazarick
I like to think that Cocytus keeps a collection of frozen warriors or something
Everyone talks about the openings and yes I very much enjoy this one too, I still think S3 had the best one followed by S1 then S4 then S2. Great episode, here's hoping the last one doesnt have too horrible of CGI.
So would brain had a chance if he kept the kingdoms sword?
Honestly felt confused when they attacked lockyus. I was angry and wondering wtf was going on and thought renner had pulled everyone over to ainz, but then I thought maybe they were shape shifters from nazarik sent to kill her. I was flipping out lol, but relieved to see they were trying to save her. The part wit brain made me sad and mad at the same time. I wanna take over the show. This is too one sided.
Ya and a bunch of people would cry about it.
Brain protected the land behind him till the end
So, Coccutus respected his death by letting that part of land unsullied
maybe there's a chance for brain to get resurrected when Overlord learns about his death since he knew him when he was pretending to be an orihalcon warrior
Man poor Climb first Gazef now Brain his friends keep dying.
Ainz will probably make him an undead or Deathknight
Cocytus only uses that sword against warriors he acknowledges. That god slaying emperor blade is Cocytus prize possession, a weapon that his creator he worships used.
iirc in the book, Cocytus took Brain's body back to his floor in the Tomb as part of his display of trophies not just the Brain's sword but I might be misremembering it.
Now imagine if it was Sebas who was sent to lead the Army.
Brain's heart would be devastated.
Pinky needs to avenge Brain
there’s one more thing most people didn’t realize is the fact that Cocytus used both hands on his sword.
do you remember the fight with Lizardmen ? Cocytus said that they weren’t worthy enough for him to use both hand on his sword. in this episode, he used both hands, meaning that he considered Brain to be his equal.
PS : what’s so funny to me is the fact that Brain got beaten twice by Ainz’s personal chairs. it sounds pathetic until you realize that those chair are LV100. lmao
First Gazef and now Brain, two most worthy to be part of Ainz's kingdom, but are too loyal and heroic. RIP.
By going with what Ainz was saying, kicking dust to blind enemies vision, prostrating to the ground while took a little knife for a sneaky thrust, and many other cheap tricks, were all those acceptable for winning a fight? I've been thinking those are all losers moves and only losers does that.
its the winner that decide what are loser moves.
lets say your in a fight for survival and you know swordmanship you are up against a assassin.
at that point everything the assassin would do would be labeled loser moves unless you die from the fight.
in a fight for survival everything is off the tables.
This episode left me sad
The final episode is more tragic.... I don't want to spoil so yeah....
And the blue rose is using mind control like catching pokemon with normal PokeBall while the denizen in nazaric is using mind control like catching pokemon while using master balls.
Dont forget his frozen seems to me that he might come back to life?
Fan prediction here; Overlord will end with the next person to arrive to the New World, who will be one of the Yggdrasil game developers, and they will be so broken that they simply perma kill Ainz and all of Nazarick with contemptable ease (like Zeno erasing fused Zamasu kind of ease). As a developer this individual will have a rule breaking character build with literally every power, spell, ability, weapon and item that exists in the game, be level 999+ with no level cap and the stats to match, be totally immune to all physical and magical attacks and effects (straight up console command god mode here), have infinate HP and MP and instant regeneration of both, and be in possession of all the remaining World Items from Yggdrasil that players hadn't found before the shutdown (like 150+ out of the total 200 that exist) and maybe even duplicates of the ones that other players already had (since why not, they're a shitty dev). I could totally see such a person showing up, seeing what Ainz has been up to, and then using some special dev power to disband the Ainz Ooal Gown guild, erase all of it's possessions and NPC's, and then delete Ainz's character (either perma killing him outright, turning him into his original powerless human form to face torture and death like all the New World people who suffered the same fate because of him, or even have him wake up back in his original body in his shitty version of future Japan to live out the rest of his short and miserable life alone).
brain unglaus reach the realm of heroes
He got killed with a "God Slaying Emperor Blade". Pretty noble ending.
Come to think of it the only friend Climb has made who isn't dead is Sebas.
You know, I really hope Cline finds out that Sebas works for Ainz.
Who are those specters following him and the ones who froze brain?
I bet true nail clipper can cut Shalltear's thumb finger nail.
you need high level leather for magic scrolls
Cocytus wanted to pay his respect to Brain
By going around the civillians in the building he was protecting
Trinston was here.
What was that shit from renner? Did she already convert to another race or something?
Oh Boy, wait until you watched the upcoming movie
