Glad I'm not the only one who noticed. On the other hand, I wish Holy Kingdom and Slain Theocracy were the same and we'd see the characters hinted at in earlier seasons sooner. Sadly, we all know the goal was to target a kingdom that was willing to accept help from nonhumans. I had a lot of mixed feelings about the whole arc in general. Loved the new characters, but the direction of the conflict was ... I'll just say I'd prefer all intelligent nonhumans within the story to fall under the Sorcerer Kingdom as opposed to what ends up happening. (Nonhuman vs Nonhuman) I wouldn't even mind if they skipped the arc all together. It'd save me the trouble of having to wait for the adaptation to catch up to where I've read.
Give me at least 5 minutes to modify my post before quoting me. (refreshing page advised)

God I am freaking loving this season.. Love how the nazarick beings are actually worried about things.. Something that they never felt when they were just violently massacring people

I extremely cannot wait for the next episode and see how Albedo will respond..

Dude I logged into MAL (been years ago) just to check if someone else noticed this! It was insanely annoying, I thought it came from outside at first or if bird sounds got picked up during the recording of the VA's. No idea why they decided to keep that in if intentional. Otherwise the episode was OK, not too exciting but the build up is going somewhere for sure.

Just as I thought this will be like S1 instead of that piece of shit of S3, it just skips who knows how much time since happenings of the last episode and fucks up any semblance of continuity. Ainz just killed a dragon and now we already have not only a functioning dwarf kingdom but also dragon kingdom and one other I'm not ever sure mentioned before. It's hard to give a damn about the story now without knowledge of circumstances around the political plots and backdoor machinations. It's like skipping couple of rounds in a battle tournament centered story without even acknowledging one of the main characters died then.

It was the staff levitating at the side of the throne. Seems like Ainz summoned it while the woman was brought to be questioned. Guess for safety.

The king is doing exactly what Ainz said earlier, taking responsibility as a superior to protect his subordinates. Quite admirable, even if the guy really doesn't deserve such consideration.

Good episode really set things up well for the Witch of the Fallen Kingdom arc. There was some post Holy Kingdom stuff going on which was a little weird but not a big deal. It was funny seeing how the characters reacted to Phillips stupidity.

I'll just say the Anime onlys are going to go wild this arc and leave it at that.

If you wish to treat this incident as our nation’s scheme, that is fine by me. History is written by the victors. All of your false accusations will soon be erased.

The fool has finally dealt his hand. Judgement awaits him now.

And we're back at SASUGA AINZ-SAMA again with Demiruge's conclusion of the plot. Poor Empire got the Carrot and the Kingdom gets the stick. All that quoting Ainz-sama's violence breeds violence was all for naught when they all went lets kill all of em.
When someone asks me why I like anime, I'd say Just Because.

next week for sure going to be the start of some conflict that's for sure. Definitely feels like the theocracy or someone else is up to something by nudging that baron into foolishly attacking the sorcerer kingdom carts.

We finally got to see Nabe, missed her so much. Her screentime in the fourth season as of now is limited but might see her more later on. Albedo's working her ass off with the stupid noble who messed up their plan but the King wants to offer his life in order to bring their relationships back on point. Pretty sure she won't agree on it.

Ah Ainz, we are of the same mind. When I saw Hilma my first reaction was “who is she?”. I wonder if Albedo will just cut the king’s head on the spot or check in with Ainz first . . . I kind of want to see her cut it off on the spot . . .

The gang is just glad that Ainz is so wise he can even understand what an idiot is thinking but you know how it goes, takes an idiot to understand an idiot, so the name of the kingdom was wrong, I was scratching my head why would they be sending them food, I can barely remember anything from previous seasons so I was quite confused.

A nice episode overall. Lord Phillip seems an interesting character. The dialogues weren't neither too complicated nor irritating. Despite the lack of action scenes, the episode was really fun to watch. Can't wait to see what the Sercerer Kingdom will do about the robbery of the carriage and what measures they'll take

Not much happened in the episode so didn't particularly like it, but I imagine its just setting up the stage for more conflict so not much can be expected. Is a King's head worth that of a Fool's?

Like others have said, the subtitles were really confusing in this episode. I thought the Theocracy had been conquered and we would come to see this in the movie.

Anyways, Hilma saying something absolutely normal like "I fully trust the Sorcerer King" while having a tone of climaxing completely cracked me up.

Many think this scene is Baron Philip's fault. It was true, Philip didn't think about the repercussions of his actions.
The impact of his actions can ignite the fire of war with the wizarding country. And from the words of Prince Zanac himself, he had to avoid the war that took place with the Wizarding Nation, because of the unreasonable power of that country and became a vassal state of Ainz's Wizard Nation.

Maybe many viewers and including us think that it's better to be a subordinate of a wizard country than to feel the cruelty of an unreasonable wizard country in that world.

But I had time to think, what if in our world there is a country (or call it a people) that has insane power that makes no sense like a wizarding country. both power, technology, treasure, and others that dominate this world.

Do we as human beings have to be subordinate to that country, or do we fight for fear of being terrorized by that country?

I think this case will happen in the future, where the Dajjal has descended on earth, and he will try to lead and rule our world. Either with power, technology, politics, wealth, even magic he can do. Bringing the dead back to life is possible, just as Ainz could do

Dajjal also rules the earth from the east to the west. Dajjal is the source of the big slander that will occur before the Day of Judgment. The release of the Dajjal is a sign of the apocalypse. At that time, many people were affected by the slander of the Antichrist who claimed to be God. This was practically the same as Ainz and the wizarding nation.

So we only have two choices, whether we will go to war with the wizarding country (or the dajjal) and die a martyr's death, or we will submit to the dajjal's rule, and enjoy temporary pleasures.

This season has far higher quality, than the previous one, and it is very enjoyable, which are positives. However, I really feel, that this was a huge missed opportunity (especially with this much care), with the amount of cut content, the arc skips, and the lack of explanation and short recap for anime-only watchers.
Moreover, I really fear, that with the lack of context, timeline explanation, and the shit storm which is coming down by the end of this season (which will make the skipped content less impactful), the movie won't do that well among anime onlies, and also a single movie will simply not be enough for the 2 volumes.
The Sacred Kingdom arc is my favorite, partially because Neia is the best girl, and I am a bit disappointed, that I will have to wait for that, and that it will be a single movie, with very short screen time for Neia and Shizu, and every other thing because those volumes are packed, both with content, and quality.
I would rather watch a whole single or two-cour season just about the Sacred Kingdom arc, even if in exchange they wouldn't adept anything from the second part of this season, and end the story there.

Yes let's do away with that noble who thinks too much of himself, he was used....now he's useless and useless things are now disposable
You see there's no need to wonder where your god is,

Albedo reveals the grand plan and Ainz has no clue, seems like he really lost track of all his actions and ambitions.
Good that his underlings are kind enough to believe in him without second thoughts, it's really adorable.

Well, I don't care about the human nations in this show, they are all so silly and cunning.
No wonder they get mixed up.

OMG THIS EPISODE WAS EXTREMELY GOOD IMO and yes Ik they fucked up on the subtitles I’m an anime only and realized that as I was watching the episode bc I got slightly confused. But anyway back to the topic I loved how all the floor guardians are growing more and think better instead of acting like mindless NPC’s especially Shalltear and Aura🥰 (I love Aura she’s my favourite) and I liked how Hilma was so happy that her “punishment” was finding countermeasures to what that noble has caused instead of receiving torture or something painful bc of what happened. And the King offering his head was reallllly surprising I wasn’t expecting that at all😯

One thing I can never get tired of is Ain's internal monologues and funny reactions to his subordinates that catch him off-guard. While the latter plays off well in terms of humour, the former is a nice insight of him thinking whether he's making the right move or not, amongst other things.

Still, it was interesting to see how the incident caused by the idiot Phillip was handled. An episode like this that was pretty much filled to the brim with dialogue was still engaging and fun. The ending was rather juicy, too. I look forward to the next episode. =)
