Jircniv: Shit, Ainz Ooal Gown is on another level, nobody can beat him.

Also Jircniv: I'mma try to form an alliance to beat him.

What, are you crazy?



They are screwed either way. Jircniv knows this though. He said "If we are found out, We will likely be the first country eliminated." But as much as they can struggle against Ainz seems like their fate is sealed.

Demiurge is one smart monster, I really really commend his insight. I also love how he suggest his ideas then act like its Ains's, such a brilliant and calculated the emperor's movements.

The emperor is playing a dangerous game for trying to betray the overlord, I can't how this will play out in the end, maybe he will become subservient to him in the end. I wonder what will Jircniv do about Paladyne's betrayal.

Overlord is becoming very interesting now.

It would be great if the three big kingdom make alliance and Ainz could beat them all in one epic battle. However as I see, in this season Albedo and Demiruge are much more creative than Ainz compared with the previous seasons. I hope Ainz will be the leader of the team (again) but still this is one of the best anime ever 10/10

This is probably my favorite overlord episode, my second was the royal procession during the lizardmen arc.

It would've been perfect if they included Gargantua in there just for good measure. Gargantua needs more screen time. #JusticeforGargantua

Hmm, I'm curious of how powerful the emperor really is, he was standing when Demiurge told everyone to bow, he must be a little bit more powerful than the average character.

Well, he has the "emperor" class, so perhaps if he was a high enough level, he might have been able to resist mind control at a significantly lower level than other classes at least, due to class-related mind control passive resistances, since I have no doubt that such a class must have some kind of mind control resistance at a high enough level.

Of course at his current level he can only rely on items when against the likes of Demi-Urge. Of course in a battle he'd still die instantly to a level 100 Demi-Urge as he is right now.

It doesn't have to be in the throne room. If they wanted to passively scare the shit out of the emperor (who doesn't know much about magic) and amaze his grandfather (which was one of the most amusing "react-er" I have ever seen) at the same time, I believe Gargantua being on standby on the surface of Nazarick is the best way.

Good episode. Still, I think they didn't give this episode justice. They skipped a lot of inner dialogues, which is a shame since they were what made Jircniv one of my favorite characters in Overlord. Throne room scene could have also made a lot better and impactful if they included everyone that should have been present. It's also shame they skipped part about Jircniv bringing those noble daughters to give to Ainz, since it showed he did not just come empty handed to beg for forgiveness, but actually having some plan. And simple few lines of dialogues taking little to no time would suffice, so it wouldn't be expensive or anything. I hope they give more justice to latter part of this volume, since it's one of my favorites. It seems to me like madhouse is trying to appeal to people that watch overlord due to action packed season 1 by skipping a lot of planning they would find boring to rush to action scenes, while retaining enough to make it somewhat interesting for people watching for the planning and world building, but it causes that neither audience can enjoy it as they could have as a result. They really should just focus on what novel focuses on, the latter, and make it for great for appropriate audience instead of chasing 2 rabbits, since we all know it's not gonna work out great then.

Same for me, the studio and director is totally wrong in approaching the best thing on this season.They can still save the budget and time if it done correctly. They should've focused on this episode and the upcoming "BIG" part. Instead they gave more animation to the not so important to the general plot for the first 5 episode.
Honestly, for me this is the best part on volume 9 and this season. I mean, im not gonna complain even for the infamous big part got skimmed. This chapter is the best "storybuilding > action" part. That episode not showed us the full comprehensive psychological warfare or "war of words" are.

didn't find that in LN now but from the wiki "I will do anything to lift this curse, even point this sword at Your Majesty.

And that feels like she will do anything or offer anything if she here that Ainz can cure her

Hm somwhat of a slow episode imo, we got a lot of inner monologue of the emperor and the scene in the throne room basically. Also we now know a bit more about their plans and Fluder's betrayal. Was an alright episode, I hope it builds up to something great. But at this point I'm pretty sure this season will never reach the epicness of season 1 and instead be more similar to season 2.

This episode is intense! All of the countries working together to fight Ains? Goddamn. I bet he's Lelouch, who will become the ultimate evil to bring peace to all the factions. Also, what are the chances the other floor guardians would betray Ains? I mean that loli vampire did it once though granted she was being controlled.

Hahahah no. There's no Lelouch nonsense going on here. You do realize he cares about Nazarick like they were his own children. What you are implying would suggest he is willingly sacrificing these children for humans from another world that have zero connection to him. I don't have to spell out how utterly DAFT that is do I?

I really liked this episode, especially ending really hyped me, somewhat, for future.

Meeting between Blood Emperor and Ainz in novel was much longer and climatic, but other then that it was done well. Blood Emperor is one of my favorite characters, one of few somewhat relatively powerful and intelligent character, on par with princess Renner and Demiurg. Freakin Demiurg. (Plus he realized Fluders betreyal)

I hadn't that much feel in novel, but I do from anime, that Demiurg is one that is able to betray Ainz. Not actually betray him, but I feel like Demiurg knows that Ainz is just fool and he manipulate him to do whatever he wants unlike other guardians who are blindly loyal (except Albedo).

But it looks anime will end exactly where I stop reading the novel, so I can only guess what's new in Overlord world.

Hahaha, let's just say that the very next volume after volume 9, i.e. volume 10, answers most of your doubts.

Escpacially in regards to Demi-Urge's intentions, the epilogue of vol. 10 reveals all one needs to know. You should definitly read it.

SASUGA DEMIURGE!!! He predicted everything flawlessly and made a plan accordingly for everything. I knew since episode 6 that the plan might've to involve the Emperor to be allied or controlled in some kind of way, but not to this kind!

Yes! My question has been answered. So that's why Momon visited Fluder before back in episode 6. That allows Fluder to basically be a puppet. Fluder's reactions are truly priceless BTW. Momon probably told him to let that one noble send the workers to explore Nazarick before so that the Emperor would blame the noble for the workers' defeat and to please Nazarick by offering them this noble's head. Very clever, Demiurge!

My appreciation for a well thought up and ingeniously constructed plan is immense and I sure do love this grand scale of a plan to spread Nazarick name and introduce Ainz as the one true Sorcerer King!!!

"So noisy! I demand silence!" hehe I remember him rehearsing that in a previous episode.

Ah man, I feel sorry for Ains for having Demiurge always having to get ahead of him. It's like Ains has to find a way around Demiurge's "intentions" to please his followers.

Aww, I liked the sound of Supreme King...

His thinking was as good as it can get when thinking about fighting Ainz. The only way you can even remotely think of doing it is by trying to make an alliance with all the other nations. At least he wasn't some naive idiot thinking he can fight him alone or anything like that.

You give Demiurge a false credit there. Yes this was his plan but the noble wasn't. He simply wanted Fluder to make the king send people so they can accuse him of it and demand an apology that will lead to the current events.
The Blood emperor has his own practices as well though so before accepting doing anything like that he used the noble and workers(not adventurers or soldiers that can be connected to the kingdom and the emperor) so even if they got caught etc it will not connect back to him and can pretend ignorance.
Unfortunately that precaution was mostly ineffective(at least it allowed him to use the head when meeting Ainz) because Ainz already knew he was behind the workers since he had Fluder arrange the whole thing in the first place therefore denying it will have cast no doubt in him and at the same time the aggressive way that Mare and her sis used left the emperor with no room for denials and games of ignorance. By landing with a dragon and killing tons of soldiers there in the palace yard they left little room for any possible games. It was a statement of "We know it was you so don't dare fuck around or else...."

-Strong empires don't get to where they are by submitting as soon as they come across a more powerful entity, so it's not surprising that Jircniv was going to plot behind their back and Demiurge realized that all too well.

-Very perceptive of Jircniv to realize that the old sorcerer has betrayed him.

-it appears Ainz aspires for an empire whoseoutward reputation is that of glory, rather than a scourge of aggression.

-I feel that at this point that Demiurge may have realized Ainz's true nature and is manipulating him in very subtle ways.

I like how you could tell the old man had already betrayed Gilgamesh Jircniv when he called him "little Jircniv" after witnessing Ains' magic firsthand at the tomb.

Jircniv is really cool. Reminds me of Caster Gilgamesh in FGO Babylonia without any of the ego (hope they capture that essence in the anime adaptation of it!)

I had a blast watching this episode! Seeing Paradyne fanboy over everything Momonga does like he's a kid in a candy store was pretty much how I feel whenever he flexes on everyone with his unlimited power. Demiurge ordering them to prostrate was awesome and he ended up predicting Rune's entire long-term battle plan to a T!

That last scene where they showed the reason why the old man was completely fawning over Ains Ooal Gown was epic. I just realized that Leinas is definitely Epsilon in disguise again too~
