Earlier Ains was actually worried for some humans. For example in Season 1 when the villagers were being killed he first decided to do nothing about it. Later when he saw Sebas Tian which made him remember Touch Me and he realized when Touch Me saved Ains from total obliteration by other players. That is, Touch Me was imbued with a heroic trait and was actually defending the weak. Which later on made Ains realize that he should go and help the villagers and in that process get some information.

The most justifiable actions out of all the characters I saw in this anime were from Sebas Tian. He literally was embodiment of a heroic character, let's just hope they don't turn him into a twisted evil character. You can see Sebas Tian in action in Season 2, which was awesome how he dealt with the bad guys.

The ones that are the most bad influence and problematic characters for Ains were Demiurge and Shalltear.

Shalltear has a bad habit of hunting down humans just for fun, which is why she ended up getting mind-controlled in Season 1 and which also resulted in a heavy cost for Ains (he used a lot of combat items and also wasted a lot of Gold to revive her). Narberal Gamma is cute but I fail to see how having a bad impression about humans Ains does try to make her restraint but you know what's hypocrisy? Ains is a human who has a monster Avatar, deep down he is human and I fail to see how he doesn't tell them to behave because they are his servants. What if they found out he's human they'll probably treat him like trash. LOL.

Demiurge comes up with the most sadistic and weird ideas I have ever heard. Season 1 suggestion (let's take over the world), Season 2 abducted humans the ending episodes were pretty messed up the suggestions were to crossbreed humans with monsters which again his methods were illogical and cruel, Season 3 let's bait some humans belonging to some kingdom, kill them mercilessly and take some as slaves for experimentation. While they're at it, why not declare a war on a certain human kingdom and claim that Nazarick is a country.

It's kind of weird how the members of Nazarick have problems with humans but regularly travel around human populations, towns and kingdoms.

Is it me or some of the monsters of Nazarick are very, very ugly. Well you know what they say if you ain't beautiful try to be more appealing by being nicer to talk to, so-far all of those monsters at Nazarick have failed at appeal also.

Edit: The only reason I'm watching this show is because of Sebas Tian and Tuareninya Veyron, Season 2 was one of the most interesting seasons I've seen.

Edit 2: Question 1: How does one enter a virtual game and still manage to have a sense of smell, touch and taste remains quite mind-boggling. Because of Season 1 episode 1.

Fianlly someone who has some humanity left seriously I wonder what will happen if some of these people lead the world..

Lol oh yes a narrow minded view which sees only one perspective, that of moral outrage is definitely a human trait.

Also if you are watching this show just for Sebas and Tuare. AHAHAHAHAH THEY TAKE A LESS THAN BACKGROUND ROLE FROM NOW ON. SO if you think they're going to show up again any time soon well I will enjoy sipping your outraged tears

Almost 3 years ago, I read this particular volume where Ainz left me in shock and needed to contemplate the reason being. Well, such mishaps in such instances can happen to anyone, that is my conclusion to it, and it's the only truth in everyone for everything, no less.

And almost 3 years later, now I'm enjoying this episode seeing myself who'd grown up to like and view objectively a fictional sense of immorality.

Can't wait for the darkest finale.

@Detective1412 Try reading the 6-7 latest translated chapter of the web novel, the war of words was very different there. It's interesting to see how Jircniv misunderstood Ainz in a different manner. XD

would a game have millions of players online in it's closing hours?i trust i need not explain that.also players get transported into the NW in 100 years interval,600 years ago it was the 6 Great Gods,after them was the Greed Kings,100 years ago it was 2 of the 13 Heroes.

I'm sure there might be some players logged in. That's not the point here, if Momonga can crap his pants at a single instance and mention of one of the supreme beings, it's safe to say that other players who have their own domains are of equal power if not greater. Think about it this way, it's not necessary for him to be the only sole player. Japan has a population of 127 million people, a million people is a bare minimum.

What's even more confusing is how he enters the game, what is the mechanism, was he wearing a head-gear set or what. How does he survive in that suspended state for so long without dying of starvation. Is he like some dead corpse rotting in his room or what? (Since you did say you know about somethings, I guess I can try asking you some questions). What's more confusing is how he is more concerned with ruling a game world rather than trying to get out of it, something which is virtual and cannot provide him with proper sustenance to his original body.

I fail to see how Yggdrasil only has evil players, when there is most likely both Good and Evil factions.

the world he's from is absolutely shit,it's a dystopia ruled by the rich where schools are only there to make people barely able to work,quite literally since the goverment is basically non-functional.that's why people have no other way to get happiness than from games and the like,Ainz has no family or friends in the real world and the only place where he's happy is in the guild, he has no intention of going back and he's no longer in the game now

Not to mention his mother died from overworking in his home, in the kitchen while making his favorite food. Right in front of him no less.

Also in Yggdrassil human players ACTIVELY HUNTED and persecuted players like Ainz. To the point that his guild decided to become the monsters the human players thought they were.

I kind of disagree when some said the workers 'know what they sign up for'. Yes they knew it is dirty, risky and dangerous job. However,They did not know such powerful beings exist in their world. They did not know they would encounter God-level monster like Ainz. Their knowledge&skills (which extends to 99.9% of the rest of population) is limited to tier 3-4 magic or so.

If their luck is bad and they encounter some powerful monster/undead (but not like Ainz level), they would sure escape/evade from there. Of course they knew some might die, I am sure they did risk assessment (based on knowledge they have). Maybe 25% chance of dying, 10% chance of being completely wiped out and they accepted the risk. They did not know it would be 0%.

Just to make an analogy, if i were a mercenary hired to explore some mysterious in Afganistan, I would expect human resistances; maybe large heavily armed groups inside. I knew I might die but I do have chance to escape and chance to fight and win. But I would not expect to encounter Aliens or Predators (Had I knew those things exist I'd turn down the job). Hell, encountering those would still have chance to survive (bullets can still kill them). Encounter Ainz is like encountering Kogu. Bad analogy but I hope you get what I mean.

i mean,mercenaries getting wiped out because they didn't know what's waiting for them might not be their fault,but they went there willingly so nobody's gonna defend them in case they get slaughtered anyway.like it or not that's still the results of their actions,not everyone knows what the consequences of their actions will be,as life is never certain

in case you forgot those that don't like humans but mingle with them do so for their jobs,not doing jobs assigned by the Supreme Beings are like denying their own existence

The story is basically written by a loner who was probably bullied hard at school and nobody helped him, so he, mad at world, created a fiction where bad guys, or good guys with hopes, dreams and accomplishments are similarly easily beaten by himself, the strongest person in existence. People with similar backstories are probably the ones enjoying this the most.

Season 1 suggestion (let's take over the world), Season 2 abducted humans the ending episodes were pretty messed up the suggestions were to crossbreed humans with monsters which again his methods were illogical and cruel, Season 3 let's bait some humans belonging to some kingdom, kill them mercilessly and take some as slaves for experimentation. While they're at it, why not declare a war on a certain human kingdom and claim that Nazarick is a country.

It's kind of weird how the members of Nazarick have problems with humans but regularly travel around human populations, towns and kingdoms.

Is it me or some of the monsters of Nazarick are very, very ugly. Well you know what they say if you ain't beautiful try to be more appealing by being nicer to talk to, so-far all of those monsters at Nazarick have failed at appeal also.

and when i compared the crew with Nazis, some people lost their shit, saying Ainz is nowhere near Hitler and Nazarick filth are not Nazis. Go figure.

considering that Ainz is literally not human the comparison can be rather different.also despite Overlord being morally disturbing is it really a reason to bash the author?the writing is damn good

Don't bother with that one. Just block and move on.

hahaha hit the nerve of a antifa loner. easy bait.

The story is basically written by a loner who was probably bullied hard at school and nobody helped him, so he, mad at world, created a fiction where bad guys, or good guys with hopes, dreams and accomplishments are similarly easily beaten by himself, the strongest person in existence. People with similar backstories are probably the ones enjoying this the most.

This guy is the writer I think:

If the bullying part is true, than that sucks, that must explain why he has a OP character who can do anything he wants, he must have felt the need to be strong when he was being bullied for being weak. Can you please reference me to where you've got the information from, thanks if you can.

It's just my guess. I have no idea about his life story.

Meanwhile Climb gets all the encouragement from various strong people saying how he's got a good heart etc even without having talent and then you have Sebas actually wasting his time teaching him something that at best just will let him get killed faster against someone ACTUALLY trying to kill him. Not that that will happen as long as he's Renner's pet.

I kind of disagree when some said the workers 'know what they sign up for'. Yes they knew it is dirty, risky and dangerous job. However,They did not know such powerful beings exist in their world. They did not know they would encounter God-level monster like Ainz. Their knowledge&skills (which extends to 99.9% of the rest of population) is limited to tier 3-4 magic or so.

If their luck is bad and they encounter some powerful monster/undead (but not like Ainz level), they would sure escape/evade from there. Of course they knew some might die, I am sure they did risk assessment (based on knowledge they have). Maybe 25% chance of dying, 10% chance of being completely wiped out and they accepted the risk. They did not know it would be 0%.

Just to make an analogy, if i were a mercenary hired to explore some mysterious in Afganistan, I would expect human resistances; maybe large heavily armed groups inside. I knew I might die but I do have chance to escape and chance to fight and win. But I would not expect to encounter Aliens or Predators (Had I knew those things exist I'd turn down the job). Hell, encountering those would still have chance to survive (bullets can still kill them). Encounter Ainz is like encountering Kogu. Bad analogy but I hope you get what I mean.

i mean,mercenaries getting wiped out because they didn't know what's waiting for them might not be their fault,but they went there willingly so nobody's gonna defend them in case they get slaughtered anyway.like it or not that's still the results of their actions,not everyone knows what the consequences of their actions will be,as life is never certain

Yeah...i m not defending the workers here. Just find it rather unfair that some label them as foolish, reckless and deserve to be killed. They are very money motivated for sure but I do not think they are foolish. I even do not wanna call them greedy because they are not obsessed with money. In the anime, they value their life (by willing to negotiate) and put comrades first. Those are not traits of greedy person.

And I do not quite understand why raiding a tomb is considered 'dirty'. I mean isn't that basic stuff for RPG games? Any RPG games will have heroes/adventurers go into dungeons or tombs for valuable items. Heck, even Lara Croft is a tomb raider.

They are foolish because the terms of the job were FAR FAR FAR TOO good not to mention the circumstances of the tomb itself just SUDDENLY appearing out of nowhere.

The entire job was a black box and they did not question it once they got told the pay. A tomb jsut comes into existence of a COMPLETEL FLAT PLAIN and there's no sign of digging around it either or collapse.

The problem which I have with this episode is, that so far Ainz always had to think about where to draw the line. His subordinates are without a doubt mostly evil, Demiruge torturing innocent people doesn't surprise me. He's a demon after all, Ainz simply let him do as he pleases since he couldn't come up with a better plan. This is the first time Ainz himself caught people for torture and ordered the death of a nice character.

Is this a surprise? No it's not, he was telling that he seems to lose his humanity the longer he remains in this body. But it kinda killed my enjoyment of the show, because the two things I enjoyed the most were him destroying arrogant assholes and trying to cope with his subordinates hatred for humans. If he now starts to despise humans as well and just kills them because he can, a big part of the enjoyment for me falls off.

That group of workers wasn't arrogant, they didn't look down on him. Such people getting obliterated isn't any fun to watch for me. So yeah this is pretty subjective, but it seems like a lot of people feel in a similar way.

Glad to hear it. Up to this moment Ainz himself haven't enjoyed just "playing with the food", and before someone says it, I doubt Ainz sees these people as just NPC's, he fully realizes what he's doing and just enjoys killing the weak like some psycho god. He hasn't displayed such level of cruelty and disregard of life before TOWARDS THE INNOCENTS (example: goblin village), so I was surprised that he actually did it.

I believe that part of it is because he needs to make sure that his subordinates don't start to question him. Also, if you remember what he said in like the 2nd or 3rd episode of the 1st season, he really doesn't care about what happens to the humans and other mortals in this world.

I will state however, that I am disappointed in the episode, but for the opposite reason that most others are. In Volume 7 of the LN, it goes on in pretty gruesome detail what happens to those 4 hunters that Ainz defeated - such as how the cute elf girl and her human lover are 'nested', as well as how the young magic girl is killed.

The anime skipped most of that, which while not unexpected, was a bit disappointing. Ofc, I can understand why so many are upset with what happened to the magic user girl, since they made it a bit of a sad ending with her little sisters and then Entoma using her voice. Normally I'd be all upset about that, but since this anime is focused the other way around, with Ainz as the protagonist (anti-hero(?)), it did't bother me all that much.

This guy is not the author, the author is hiding his face and when showing at conventions or what he always wear a mask or hide himself, the reason is he actually has a job and doesn't want to live from his royalties in contrary to most of LN writters, so to protect himself to avoid awkward things happening at his job he always hide his face so we have no idea how he looks, and he created Overlord not to self insert as a powerful character like you think but because his friends didn't have the time to play Dungeon and Dragons with him anymore, which Overlord is based on, because yes, Ainz is far from being the one thing that made him want to make Overlord, because Ainz is not the only thing making Overlord great, greatest thing about Overlord is the dark comedy and the worldbuilding, not it's MC.

If this was a one off death they wouldn't have shown Arches sisters, it would be a waste of time in a story standpoint. I personally have a gut feeling the anime is going to diverge from the novel. Its close to 13 episodes now, after all.

Then why show the sisters? the scene showing how Arches voice was taken should have been enough to show how cruel Ainz truly is. Either way im not a Arche fanboy, theirs so much porn on the internet these days its pointless investing in one character.

Maruyama hides his face in order not to get fired, it is because he modeled a some of Nazaricks victim using real person he knows in real life.
For example:

In twiani, some jp fans were calling his work "lets kill everyone I hate in my workplace delusion". Thats the reason he got so much material to make 300volume+! its all just a pent up frustration and malevolent thought and desire that follows.
That is what Overlord turned out to be right now.

Aaand I want to call on this dude Darklight0303
LMAOOO did you ran some kind of checklist EDGELORD 101 or what?!!!
- brooding persona, check
- maniacal laugh at suffering and death, check
- psychopath pov, check
- edgy avatar, check
- darklight0303, check (being dark, but also light, pffffft!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
wonder what else is there in your list.

The job the workers were carrying was not just dirty but one that was also considered a crime, It's clearly indicated on one of their discussions in the light novel.

“—Of course, that region is Crown-controlled territory. If we act rashly, we’ll be making enemies of the Vaiself Royal Family of the Kingdom.”

The fact that they were delving into a ruin in a foreign nation was practically a crime, which was why they had not hired adventurers, but Workers.

“In other words, this is the usual dirty business, am I correct?”

“Yes. However, there are some sensitive issues.”

“Indeed. the Empire’s Workers causing trouble in the Kingdom will lead to all sorts of problems. If things go badly, it might even affect the Count himself.
