Wait WHAT is that the actual canon? Holy crap that's dark... makes sense in-universe, though.



That is why Ainz is surprised when he sees the clear sky for the first time, his real world is horrible.


Thanks, I'm mostly familiar with the anime so now it makes a lot more sense. No wonder he's not very keen to go back.

Just asking coz I kind of forgot but why is Subaru able to move ? Is it connected to the strange hands that appear when he says he can revive ? Please no spoil on LN I plan to read it some time later/watch season 2

Btw it's kind of funny that Ainz acknowledged Aqua as a goddess when even Kazuma doesn't consider her as one


You say no spoil, but it's from the very beginning and a necessary plot device of Re:Zero: Subaru has the power to go back in time, so still being able to move when time is stopped isn't a far fetch.

If you had seen KonoSuba you would know that Kazuma does consider Aqua a goddess as she is the one that resurrected him to another world when he died. He goes around saying she isn't one just to spite her.


I know that Kazuma was resurrected by Aqua but the way he treats her like a burden and says she is useless is like he doesn't consider her as a goddess anymore.

I don't know if there had a change of director of something but this was legit the best episode of the series.

Great use of multipe characters, quick and funny exchanges between the cast, some hints about the lore of some series and an amazing comedic timing (when Subaru suddenly talks during time stop or Kazuma's lines when he realized the pencil)

The last joke is both completely unexpected but completely coherent with Pandora's Actor, loved it.

It's only Ep. 4 and I don't remember Aqua being this bullied in last season xD

Really funny episode overall. Easily the best one in this so far mediocre second season. Hope it can only improve from now on.

Subaru, my boy, bringing the plot back! I bet he died at the end of the last season and is doing it all over again, like always.

I liked the episode. I thought it was funny when Aqua got caught cheating twice. I understand why Tanya, Subaru, and Aqua were able to move with no problem during his Time Stop; but why couldn't Kazuma move? I thought he was in the same boat as Tanya and Ainz. Could someone explain why he couldn't move? Also, I liked how Megumin was supportive and saying that Kazuma would pass the test.

well, Ainz activated the magic, Tanya often talks to Being X with time stopped, Subaru surprised me but he does have a cheat ability related to time, but Kazuma, he really is just a ordinary adventure, we are at volume 16 and he still doesn't have a cheat ability/weapon, aside from being rich of course and the legendary Chunchunmaru. On that note and spoilers for Konosuba

Thanks for replying. I thought because Kazuma was from another world like Tanya (being reborn to a new world) and Ainz (I haven't seen Overlord, but I'm guessing he was a gamer who got transported into the game) he wouldn't be affected. I guess it does make sense because Ainz is the one that cast the spell, Tanya has Being X and Subaru has his curse as you said is related to time.

I haven't seen the movie, but I'm glad she will be supportive. Hopefully, she can do more than 1 giant explosion in season 3... Hopefully.

Ainz got incarnated into his game character who is an op maxed level necromancer lich and has a couple of powerfull time related spells. Truly a bone daddy.

Megumin? More than one explosion a day!?!??!? Hahahahaha it wouldn't even be the same character anymore! yeah it would be epic if that happened, but don't get your hopes up

That test and time stop was actually funny as hell. Also "competition" between Aqua, who think's she is intelligent and Ainz about everybody thinks he is intelligent, but apparently he didn't even finish middle school, that explains a lot about Overlord to me xD.

And oh yes, Pandora's test final answers are Pandora's actor.

The episode was pretty much perfect, we heard from out glorious megumin being sarcastic and ofc Emilia being really cute. Ainz and Tanya's chemistry and little expectations of one another. And seeing aqua suffer and all the mains have their own abilities be revealed. The test itself proved to be very humorous since it made everyone worry. It even made me chuckle how it ended with the picture ROFL best episode of the season.

Behold of my awesomeness~

So, Subaru recalls a situation where he has studied besides 2 girls before? Hmmm, is this some kind of foreshadowing or am I just forgetting something? Welp ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Out of the 4 MCs, In terms of PURELY academic capabilities, Tanya is the smartest followed by Kazuma, Subaru and finally Ainz at last place. Tanya being a smart person before and after her reincarnation, Kazuma being mostly inactive student due to being lazy, Subaru being a totally inactive student due to his insecurities and finally Ainz due to being poor and not having the money to be educated beyond middle school. I wonder what he does in his job, a salaryman of what kind? I can only imagine.

Welp, Ainz have his time stop to cheat but he ended up putting disqualifying Aqua instead. The real TRUE POWER that Ainz has is his ungodly ability to bullshit through all situation. In the end, he probably got 100% score! (Sasuga Ainz-Sama!)

It's no surprise that Tanya, Subaru and Aqua are immune though due to their highly unique background.

LOL

Pandora's Actor wrote the test so he made his face the answers... And Ainz guessed it all lol.

I'm really considering watching Overlord now just because this is hilarious. (And the other three of course.)

As usual (what I think is usual), Demiurge and the rest of the Overlord cast praise Ains for being awesome, even though Ains is internally going "ahahahaha. iahdfas;dsflk;adfjljk;a i have no idea what's going on lol"

Another excellent move by Ainz. Sasuga Ainz Sama!!!

It was pretty funny how they used the common time pause scenario of each Isekai to justify why they could move during Ainz's time stop.
