So we will see Ainz go all out next?
But it's important to remember that a movie review is subjective;it only gives you one person's opinion.

It doesn't matter if you like LoGH,Monster etc.If you are a jobless or college/school dropout living in your mom basement, you are still an unintelligent loser. Taste in anime does not make you a better person.If elitist don't exist, casual pleb and shit taste also don't exist.

In this episode suddenly Albedo became attractive, unlike previous episodes which were creepy af. If only she keeps being this way forever~

Finally Momonga would face a worthy opponent for the first time in this anime.

It's really unfortunate about Shalltear, at least I hope she would put a great fight next episode, unlike Momon's previous opponents before.

Oh man, does Ainz have a item for everything or something? He could probably solve world hunger with something in his sleeve.

He spend his summer bonus for lottery tickets for a game prize XD
The guy pretty much lives for the game, or is that an addiction or an obsession?

Don't know about hunger but he can solve world thirst with his infinite water producing flask :P

i think a lot of people missed something. i do believe this is the first time Momonga flat out killed someone that he did not have to kill. ( the adventure)

you might think that's a small thing but remember that he has not killed anyone that was not threatening the peace up till now.


Nope, the reason got skipped in the anime.
Well it's true he got in Ainz's way however he definitely wasn't someone "threatening the peace" so that is correct in that sense, it's the first time.

Nice trap by Momon's group. I want to pet Mare's head and say : "Yosh yosh, good job." ( ´Д`)ノ(´>ω<`)

I didn't understand what to be ashamed of from Pandora's Actor. He's a funny and great guy, his name suggested that. Also able to spoke in German was a plus. Beside he's quite strong, isn't he..!?

Quite a drama near the end between Albedo and Momonga. Shalltear shall be faced by the Big Boss himself meaning we won't get to see Nazarick's guardians in action, or would we..!?? ( ̄▽ ̄ )

Because Shaltear's existence must remain a secret if she is to still be eligible for covert missions. And because they ignored his warning.

To be fair, they really don't give a dam about humans in the first place since they're undead. The only reason people didn't die in other occasions was because they were either needed as pawns for one of Ainz's plans or he didn't see them as a hindrance. If it were up to the rest of them a lot more people would be dead, just look at Shalltear's killing spree as an example.

In this case, the adventurer was being a pain in the ass and keep ignoring Ainz's warnings to back off. Not really surprising that he killed them since they would've interfered with his plans and refused to back out.

They would die either way as long as they jcome along. Shalltear will obliterate them. Ainz just took the most efficient path.

I'm guessing he's a bit embarrassed about him since he created Pandora's Actor based on what his younger self thought was cool, and looking at it now, makes him question what the Hell was he thinking. ^^

As for if he's strong or not...

But you know the funny thing is- how did they even find Shalltear without Nigredo? Even without showing her they could've at least added a line like"Thanks to Nigredo we found out her location" or something similar.


It would have been more confusing to hear a name with no face to attach to it. Without them actually making a point that it would be difficult to find Shalltear, the anime-only viewer really has no reason to doubt Momonga's ability to somehow track his wayward vampire loli.

Between knowing where he sent Sebas and Shalltear on the mission and learning the general location where the vampire was spotted, and being able to fly, and having who knows what spells/items under his belt...? It never occurred to me that he would have any trouble finding Shalltear; that the actual trouble would instead be resolving the issue with no witnesses.

While that may be true it would have been less confusing than the current scene Imo,some people got that awkward vibe as well,but I guess it depends.

I'm not even reading the LN but that really stood out to me. One second, Momonga and Albedo are walking then boom, very next scene, they're in front of Shalltear.
They just had to mention how they located her is all,like what did he use? spell?Item? Would've made it less awkward.
+Nigredo is an important character, especially her abilities. They could've just mentioned that and be done with it,that even would've been better for advertising's sake since the viewers would have a new charecter to look forward to.


Shalltear strayed quite far from the "general location", never mind the hideout which only sebas heard of,while panicking she further ventured into the forest.
Btw Sebas doesn't even know Shalltear betrayed them at that time. Ainz simply uses him as a bait to lure out whoever attacked Shalltear by not giving him the world class item which he gave to every other guardian for countering mind control.

the scene took light of that encounter, so some viewers think it was nothing to fret about. But when I see a character, important or not, it's normal to assume they have their own lives, dependent, relationship, etcetera.

When someone comes in your turf, saying you better not go cause you're not good enough, what would be your reaction. With high bounty at stake, and the words came from someone with a rickety built reputation, how would you feel?

there are a number of ways to incapacitate them into not going through the mission, but since the leader of this adventurer disrespected ainz, the writer must've felt it's okay to kill him, as well as his members, people similar to his, ainz, teammates who got slaughtered. Though more efficient, ainz's action is the same as clementine.

ainz humanity was hazy to me. past episodes show him being embarrassed, goes melancholy when thinking 'bout his co-players and with him saving people, he'd come and say it's for the plan, so it was a not sure thing, add that when he brought it up, when he said he was troubled if he'd stay the same, human characters. But it was made clear here, when he killed them.

Don't know about you but i see that to make an engaging story, characters in it must be relatable, and since this series is about the overlord, I was observant to him. So here's the thing, the way i see it, the less humanity ainz has retained, the less engaging the story is to me. Maybe some aspects of the series could make up for that, but i'd just like to put it out.

Same as Clementine? What? Last I remember Clementine killed and tortured people out of joy because she was a sick and twisted character. The closest one to Clementine in Ainz's group would be Shalltear but that's mostly due to being a vampire, not a psycho murderer. Ainz on the other hand only kills people who get in his way when there doesn't seem to be any other option.

So far these people have been "bad guys" so people didn't think twice about them getting killed but there really isn't a rule that says it just applies to murderers. People can't forget that Ainz and co are villains, not the knights in shining armor good guys. Got that right off the bat when he saw with his crystal ball that a village was being pillaged and responded by saying it wasn't his problem. The only reason he helped them was to find out more about the world.

I think the problem with Ainz acting humane is that he doesn't want to lose his follower's trust. He's trying to be the leader they envision him to be while being "merciful" whenever he can. The game itself also plays a role in controlling his emotions by attempting to keep him calm whenever he gets too upset or nervous. I'm assuming it also causes him to be a bit cold hearted at times due to being an undead.

I do agree that I wasn't a fan of the way the adventurer was handled but it really shouldn't be something that would surprise people. As has been already mentioned they are villains. His group are undead who despise humans and think of them as lower lifeforms. You can say there could've been another way to stop him but was there really? I doubt he really had the time to come up with a way so that the adventurer wouldn't go off on his own without bringing suspicion upon himself.

In the end it was jealousy that brought death upon him and unfortunately his group. If anyone here is to blame it's pretty much the adventurer himself, not Ainz. I also wasn't a fan of Shalltear's rampage in the bandit hideout which lead to adventurers getting killed but it in her case it was due to all the blood driving her crazy.

As a recent reader of the LN, who started reading it after watching the anime... I must say I do kind of regret now only noticing all the 'rushed' scenes... it makes it all the more obvious now.

Especially with the scene in the Adventurers Guild, and the scenes leading up to that annoying whatshisname's adventurer death (and his party). Super fast and I felt kind of lost... wondering where everything went... but I guess they did sort of get all the key points out... but I think an extra minute or two more here would of made it all more coherent...and why he deserved to die in the first place. That adventurer was supposed to be a jealous asshole but it skipped that buildup of his character... but I guess he's insignificant.. but would of been nice to see those parts though.

But they did make it up with the Pandora's Actor... it's so funny that Ains' "undead-self-emotion-limiting-aura" kept hilariously going off.. and the facepalming lol. He truly was embarrassed with his creation... :D

The best scene was later at the end though... which was Albedo's emotional scene and my favorite part in the LN. Brought a tear to my eye.. her VA' is really good and brought that scene to life... its pretty much everything I expected here when I've read that part in my head.

.. and oh yeah Nigredo(sp?) did a Peter Jackson's Tom Bombadil... MIA? Though I'm not sure if this is before or after going by the extreme pacing which has left me a little confused still.. they were supposed to use her magic to locate Shalltear? -_-;

Overall pretty happy with it. 4/5.

Bring on #12!

Albedo is the Tank specialist in Nazarick. So defense is her forte. She just administers all of the guardians.

Shaltear's roll was like a wavebreaker against invaders. With ludicrous stats, as well as the ability to use her summons to heal herself in a crisis her endurance is off the charts.
