A couple other hints as to "Ainz" being Pandora's Actor was also the lack of the red orb in his chest(a World Item), and that "Ainz's" inner monologue was in his Momonga voice, not Suzuki Satoru's.

Albedo is not saying that she can ride the bicorn but exactly the opposite, she laments how she can't catch up to him precisely because she can't use her bicorn. Also Grasp hearts not working precisely because there is nobody in the armor fir the spell to grasp his heart.

So about the Battle: - Pandora's Actor quickly deduced that the suit was hollow and likely being puppeted by a hidden third party. - In the LN, the Doom Lord put up a much better fight. In fact, Ainz buffed it several times over with negative elemental stat bonuses. - Elemental Skull actually put up a fight, and it took a while for the suit to defeat it. "Ainz" (Pandora's Actor), having grasped the basics of his opponent's stats and fighting capabilities, considered using summons that could quickly end the battle. But he willingly chose not to destroy the armor to gain more information. In fact, he barely used any of the buffs, attacks, spells, or summons he had access to, which contributed to purposefully causing his opponent to incorrectly gauge Ainz's strength. - In the LN, Ainz (the real one) already made an accurate guess about who the silver armor was related to. This is because Demiurge and Albedo both separately provided reports about past Players and New Worlders who associated with them, such as the 13 Heroes. Riku happened to be linked to one of the 13 Heroes, who is heavily alluded to being a Player, and Platinum Dragon Lord is known to have been one of the 13 Heroes and a close friend to Riku. - LN readers are fully aware of what the barrier is and Riku's abilities. It's all attributed to Wild Magic. There are several characters who have a proper understanding of what Wild Magic is, including Fluder Paradyne. But again, this is all cut content. Gazeff's sword and stat-boosting ring all operate under the mechanics of Wild Magic. - Wild Magic is essentially the original magical system that governed the New World prior to the emergence of Players from Earth, who brought the magic system of Yggdrasil, i.e., Tier Magic. Tier Magic replaced Wild Magic in the New World. Wild Magic was primarily used by the True Dragon Lords, who ruled the world with an iron fist, to the point that humanity if the New World was nearing extinction. - Wild Magic seemingly works under the energies that power World Class Items. As a result, Wild Magic can be negated by simply carrying World Items. There's a lot of implications as to why this happened, it is believed to be tied to a particular True Dragon Lord. - Wild Magic used by the armor is powered by a user's life force/vitality (HP), rather than mana/magic power (MP). Pretty much everything concerning Wild Magic's explanation is cut from the anime.

02:10 "This all started because an idiot decided to steal from a caravan." When Philip was introduced, you asked "is he a moron?" My comment on this was "you have no idea yet." This guy stole from the Sorcerer King, triggering the annihilation of the whole kingdom. Because he implemented stupid agricultural reforms that led to a huge loss. Next to this, trying to hit on Albedo was small potatoes. At worst, just this would have got only him killed. Instead, he managed to bring the whole country down with him.

PDL: "Perhaps the Sorcerer King has two world items..." Nazarick and their 11 world class items: "Allow us to introduce ourselves"

Pandora's Actor is truly the goat for me out of all guardians 😂

Very important context that's missing here is that the Platinum Dragon Lord who fought Pandora's Actor is the head of the Council State. The Council State is the country that Zanac had attempted to create an alliance with before the Phillip incident but couldn't finalize it before the Sorcerer Kingdom declared war. They are the reason why after declaring war the Sorcerer Kingdom immediately started invading certain territories because it was to prevent the Council State from sending reinforcements since even without the alliance they're still an ally who wanted to save the kingdom. But because of the Sorcerer Kingdom's tactics, it truly doomed the kingdom since their only ally that could help them was blocked off, essentially leaving the kingdom to their own demise. There was no hope for the kingdom to survive so as a last ditch effort to try and save the kingdom, the Platinum Dragon Lord attempted to assassinate Ainz to end the Sorcerer Kingdom in it's infancy, but since the assassination failed, it ended the one sliver of hope the kingdom had left.

He wasn’t “Bored”, he just lost his War boner over the other side turning against its leader. Imagine if you were hyped for a match and the other side just side “You know what, you win” before it even started.

In the light novel they discussed what level Platinum Dragon Lord's Magic Armor was. Albedo and Shaltear say that it's around level 80-85 as they're more experienced with an opponent like that armor but Pandora's Actor was the one who personally fought him unlike the other two who were spectators so the Overlord community considers the armor at level 85-90.

The suit is a power Armor from yggdrasil it was added in an update to make the game beginner friendly if you paid for it, the base version which is the version the red suit guy presumably has is equivalent to level 70. Nazarik has 3 versions of fully maxed out suits which are equivalent to level 90-95. The suit replaces all stats of the user except health and mana with its own, that's why albedo felt as if she was hitting tofu. The dragon is called platinum dragon lord, the part where he was talking about how everything started with the misuse of their power is a popular theory that his father the dragon emperor used wild magic (original magic of the new world) to bring world items in this world by wishing for powerful items but inadvertently brought along the players wielding the world items as well. The arrival of the players completely changed the balance of the new world, before the players arrived dragon lords were the only beings that could use magic. It is a theory that a player used the world item 8 elements overcoming (a item that in the game could allow a player to request any change to the magic system from the developers). If we look at how platinum dragon lord talks about(pronounces in the subtiles) players and NPCs it is clear that he doesn't quite understand what the words mean he has only heard someone talk about them.

11:47 - Correct. This suit is an item for newbie players. This suit has stats of a player about 40-50 level, so newbies can farm in a higher-level location. So, basically if you're level 1 and use this suit - yes, you can farm in higher level locations, but you're still level 1. Most NPCs in Nazarick (at least Floor Guardians) are level 100, and in YGGDRASIL even 5 level mean HUGE difference. 17:28 - It's not explained in the main series, but in side-story. This barrier is a "wild magic" that only dragon lords could use, and which existed even before the first players had arrived into the New World and introduced Tier Magic. The only way to counter this magic is by having a World Class Item (one of them Albedo was carrying when she was in the Kingdom, so "nothing" could happen to her - she was carrying a staff that causes MASSIVE AOE terrain damage, and no one could take her under control like Shaltear was taken. Shaltear was taken under control by a grandma that used World Class Item "Downfall of Castle and Country"). 17:51 - Real Momonga could easily teleport / be pushed outside the barrier, because of his orb, which is a World Class Item. 18:35 - Grasp Heart didn't work, because there were no living being (with a heart). 20:00 - Both Doom Lord and the Elemental Skull were MUCH stronger in the Light Novel, anime doesn't give them the spotlight they had in the original. 26:33 - Such things exist. It's just they're not shown in the anime, and only had a brief mention in the LN, but you can read about this type of stuff on the Overlord Wiki. I HIGHLY suggest reading Overlord's side-story "The Vampire Princess of the Lost Country" it talks about that sort of stuff and much more, also it just feels darker and more mature. 30:52 - Since we're already at this part of the story, I guess I can talk about this and it won't be spoilers. So, this dragon, as we already know was traveling for at least few dozens of years as an adventurer, using this exact armor. Where did he get this armor? The answer is - all Dragon Lord live for a VERY long time, and they had seen all the players that were teleported, and killed some of them, so the answer is simple - it is some player's armor, as well as a ring (ring that gives +5 levels to Warrior class) that he gave to a woman (another grandma) which she gave to Gazef, and which he gave to (next episode). The place we see the Dragon reside at is a Sky Castle, which was build by players (Kinda like Nazarick was "built" by Ainz Ooal Gown guild), so this Dragon lives in a previously transported players' guild base, and also has a shit ton of items from players. 34:45 - Actually, the thing that gave away that it is PA, is that "Ainz" didn't have his huge red orb in his chest XD

Ainz was feining his immunity to bludgeoning attacks the entire fight. Since its one of his biggest weaknesses, he used a spell that negates an instance of that type of damage and continued to cast it between hammer strikes until Riku stopped using the hammer against him

10:15 "Is the bicorn the horny horse?" Precisely. That episode was a bit of a comedic interlude, but it still had some significant information. And no, she is most definitely *not* saying she can ride it. On the contrary, she can't catch up *because* she can't ride it.

The idea behind having Pandora's actor impersonate Ainz is an aspect of how Ainz handled PVP in Yggdrasil online, where dying wasn't an issue. He would fight his intended target and try a number of things to gauge their strength then come back later and annihilate them. Because his resurrection isn't guaranteed to be possible as far as he knows, he had Pandora's Actor stand in for him and watched from Nazzarick with everyone else. It was literally a controlled information gathering exercise.

Non-spoiler fun fact about world items: there are a total of 200 world items from Yggdrasil (not all of which were found) and the guild Ainz Ooal Gown had the most at 11. The guild with the 2nd most only had 4. The orb that's in Ainz' stomach is a world item too and the staff that Albedo was given is a world item and was the reason she could get into the barrier.

"Did Grasp Heart Fail? Also did Ainz just say he isn't here; he's remote controlling all of this?" - well, yes. Your second question answers your first one.

19:25 Yes, he said that the armor is remotely controlled. If he's right, it means the armor would be empty. So, no heart to grasp. It doesn't matter how powerful a spell is if it has no valid target.

04:20 "You all started some fad diet." Riiight. I doubt anyone, no matter how desperate they are to lose weight, would willingly try *that* diet though. It really eats you up inside. (I also agree that they really nailed Hilma's design here.)

The gundam was introduced to players of Ygdrassil to pull new players to game and the increasing popularity of mecha! The armor also helped players level up quickly so they won't get bored grinding for levels! Edit: the Platinum Dragon is one of the twelve heroes! He was born in this world but he knows about Players that travelled from Ygdrassil!

The hint it wasn’t really Ainz was that he was still using his “Ainz voice” for his inner monologues instead of his “human voice”.

00:25 "Ainz is bored." I would say disappointed instead.

Another genius ideas from ainz

19:20 while grasp heart is a level 9 spell that causes instant death most high level players would have a skill or item that prevents instant death, similar to how ainz said that having countermeasures for time magic is a key to pvp in his fight vs gazef. So he throws it out both as a kind of skill test to see if his opponent has the bare minimum prep but also because it can stun and stupify against enemies immune to instadeath. Though in this case it didnt work because the armor is remote controlled.

the staff Albedo was seen with earlier, Ginnungugap, is her Axe in a transformed state, which is a world item Tabula gave Albedo when she was created, it's effect allows it to destroy large areas, though it's less effective against creatures

Platinum Dragon Lord himself is the most powerful existence in the new world that doesn't originate from Yggdrasil. After the fight ended Ainz and the rest of Nazarick come to the conclusion that Riku's true identity is most likely the Platinum Dragon Lord so they intend to send an envoy of sorts to the Council State since they can't leave that unaddressed.

What he said about resurrection magic is that he is thinking about killing Azuth, the guy with the red Mecha armor, and give that armor to someone else. But he has to be careful because someone else might resurrect him to find out what happened and who could've been so strong to kill him, then he would've exposed the dragon, making his people lose trust and respect towards him so he'd be lumped in with the evil players.

in case wasnt clear - the rease he said puh-layer and enn-pii-sii is to underline that he knows of the words but not necessarily what they mean. he knows what ppl are behind those word. and that they are usually bad news for his world, that he loves so much. while its not confirmed, it seems to be that one of the other people of the 13 heroes may or may not been called riku, but thats just how i maybe choose to interpreted his words... according by worth of god - e.g. the author - a lv 90 dragon lord is not comparable to a lv90 player. :D

30:20 hot damn. luke genuinly surprised me there. nice cooking!

Also Albedo was actually able to cath up to the dude even without the Bicorn, cause they were ready for the chase and she was equipped with the items that boost her speed, so she was holding back to let him fly away

I believe what he meant by resurrection there is Azuth, the red drop guy with the armour. He meant that killing him once wouldn't be enough so he had to think up of a way where he could kill him indefinitely.

Here is the bow scene, uncut “Wait! Wait! I haven’t finishe-” Ainz, in the midst of Riku’s attacks, threw his staff behind himself. He could see that Riku was slightly confused. Ainz kneeled down immediately. “Wait! Please wait! Listen to me!” The greatsword in Riku’s hand stopped on its way to Ainz’s head. Because he was immune to critical strikes, he was not worried about lowering his defenseless head. He gave an order to the Elemental Skull at the same time. “I did not mean to clash with Your Excellency. This whole thing started because the Kingdom stole the grain that was meant as food aid to the Holy Kingdom. Between them and us, the greater evil should be obvious. What does Your Excellency think? That we were the greater evil?!” “…You went too far. There had to be better ways to deal with that.” Ainz raised his head. Riku’s greatsword remained suspended, it seemed like he had no intention to strike him at the moment. “That is because Your Excellency was not the victim! How would Your Excellency have dealt with this?! When the grain that your countrymen toiled to produce was stolen away?!” “If you did not have the power that you have, things would not have turned out this way. People with power have to be careful about how they use their power and take responsibility for their actions - I, for one, protect the world. Indeed. This world is under my protection.” Upon hearing his opponent’s rhetoric, Ainz thought, this idiot is finally talking. He was being a silent listener. Some people preferred audience response during their speeches while others did not. From his self-righteous tone Ainz could tell it was best that he kept quiet. Ainz took mental notes of everything he said. “The deeds of those who gathered around my loving mother were wrong. They were wrong in the same way that father was. In the end, absolute power corrupts absolutely. It is the source of all faults.” Ainz observed Riku in silence, calming his breath as much as he could. Riku was being impassioned, Ainz should not be as rude to interrupt him. To be honest, Ainz could not understand what Riku was talking about at all, but at the same time he did not sound like he was just rambling nonsense. He should have at least spoken in a way that a layman like Ainz could understand. “Although the root of every wrong could be traced back to us, I will not seek forgiveness for that. I cannot allow you to continue on your current path of destruction. That is why - Perish.” Whoosh, the greatsword swung down. Perhaps he felt guilty for executing the defenseless Ainz, the sword was swung at a much slower speed than before. Hold up, hold up, please reveal some more intel while you’re in a good mood, Ainz almost said out loud. His opponent did not intend to speak any more, so there was no need to keep up this boring act. -The battle continued.

34:04 The mention of resurrection magic is not about Ainz. The dragon just mentioned the idea of killing the Red Drop dude to give his armor to someone else. Problem being that killing him would pose problem with his reputation if the dude comes back to life and accuses the dragon of murder and theft. Plus he would likely reveal that the controller of the armor is the dragon. Too many secrets potentially leaking out for a minor upgrade.

"Grasp heart" is a tier 9 instant death spell. It failed in this instance because the target was out of range since the armor was being remotely controlled. That is actually how he deducted the armor is remotely controlled because the spell wasn't resisted like if the person was too strong for it, but it still didnt kill the target, meaning it was essentially a "missed shot."

Information is key and Ainz learned how to pvp from some of the best players in the world and eventually was able to stand toe to toe with them even tho he had a more role playing build. And his greatest strength was the obtaining of information and the planting of false information. So when he fought the battle was already decided before he ever truly stepped into the arena. And that mindset carried over to the new world he is constantly learning about every important person from a massive spy network. So when the platinum dragon lord gave that false name he knew instantly.

Glad you've enjoyed the reaction series and that this community was good to you, I'm looking forward to your continued anime explorations. Answering Questions: 4:50 Hilma definitely looks different here compared to when she was first introduced. Thinner, more Gaunt in the face and high-strung in general. 10:12 Yes The Bicorn is the “horny horse” the opposite of a Unicorn, its unclear if she can actually use it though 11:55 Luke reached the correct interpretation more or less, though it was transported by a player, not necessarily made by one 13:10 Answer No he’s not from Red Drop 15:30 Its not really a test. Its just a straightforward offer/threat “if you submit to me you live, if you don’t you die” 18:40 Grasp heart didn’t work because there was no heart to Grasp, The armor is empty and being controlled from a distance 19:10 Grasp heart is indeed 9th tier magic 21:00 Unlike a previous example, this was indeed a good example of "anime conversation" but Pandora was just doing it because he's dramatic like that, and it was a strong indication of who was really there even before the bow 29:00 yes, its Albedo’s staff, and Albedo was only able to break back into the barrier that was isolating Ainz because she has a world Item, that gives a good indication that the Armor guy is incredibly strong, and who is actually the platinum dragon Lord from season 2, who 200 years ago controlled the armor as a member of the 13 heroes. 29:25 He meant the Suit 30:10 oh you are cooking 😉, I wonder if this “Ainz” happened to act out of character at any point during his battle with the armor (yes he did) too bad you didn’t commit you were so close. 33:50- There is but he is a long-dead friend of the Dragon Lord 34:00 No he was contemplating killing the leader of Red Drop with the armor so that the armor could be given to someone stronger, but was deliberating on whether that was actually a good idea or not. 38:00 The Platinum Dragon Lord does know about players(powerful beings), but he doesn’t necessarily know where players are from or what the Yggdrasil game was.

ok, disclaimer, back in season 1 or 2 when we first saw this dragon lord, he had a flash-back where he thought about his battle with shalltear (which dusted him) there the reason why "i'm sure that there are other entities stronger than me", also he's not a player, but someone who had contact with players there the reason he mis-spells "player" and "NPC".

The 13 heroes consisted of more than the 13 spoken about. They werent all players but strong beings from across the continent joining to defeat the demon gods. The Platinum Dragon Lord and Rigrit from season 2 ep 1 were also members, as well as Evileye. Among them was at least 1 confirmed player who started as the weakest among them, but eventually became the strongest (barring PDL, as he concealed his identity and likely his strength by controlling the armor)

Luke, seconds after someone explains the reason. "Hmm.. I wonder how that happened?"

16:28 at the start of the series i mention this and you might wanna remember it watching overlord going forward never believe anything from ains when he is acting only believe what he says in his inner voice dialogue

That dragon lord is actually ruthless he is planning to kill the current user of that armor for someone more fitting according to him

love how you mention stuff that was clearly written in the comments, like Pandora only being able to mimic abilities 20 levels lower. Really shows you've been reading the comments

Just a quick reminder the 13 heros, the 6 great gods, the great minatour / all talk sage and the 8 greed kings were all players but none of them are still around some how they all died, that is why Ainz is so cautious and we do not know what killed them but it could still be out there.

13:38 : A little tidbit, because the translation in the subtitles is poor. He's not saying that skeletons are weak against "physical" attacks, he's saying that skeletons are weak against "bashing" attacks, but that he took countermeasures against that specific weakness. We've seen that a few times already. In season 1, Nabe fought the skeletal dragons with her sword sheathed. That was because skeletons are resistant to slashing attacks and weak to bashing. Another more subtle reference to that was when the Workers invaded Nazarick, when they fought Ainz, the archer used large tipped arrows to attack Ainz because she thought he'd be weaker to bashing than piercing arrows. There wasn't even a verbal mention of it, but there's a lot of attention to details in this show. 16:00 : Yeah, the Thirteen Heroes were mentioned and it's not known at this point in the story whether they were players. It's unlikely all of them were players (especially with what we learn at the end of this episode), but it's possible some were either players or NPCs. We also know Rigrit, the old woman who was talking with the dragon and reminiscing about the past. Rigrit mentioned giving a beating to "that Inberun girl" who can be inferred to be Evileye. Fluder (the old wizard from the Empire) also mentioned that his ability to cast 6th tier spells mean he has surpassed Rigrit. So he believes she's limited to the 5th tier. It's possible he underestimates her, but even if he does, there's a huge margin before we get to Ainz. By the way, Evileye mentions creating the "Vermin Bane" spell to fight one of the Evil Gods who were the Thirteen heroes' enemies. So it's quite likely Evileye fought alongside the heroes back then or even used to be one of them. (I limited this to information that has already been given in the anime to avoid any possible spoilers.) 19:00 : Grasp heart is indeed tier 9 magic, but the armor is remote controlled. It has no heart. 35:26 : There's a huge disparity in information and assumptions between Ainz and Tsa (the dragon). Tsa is considering that, just maybe, the sorcerer king has a second world item that he didn't bring and he's worried about that possibility. Oh, boy! Nazarick owns eleven world items which would make the world isolation barrier entirely redundant, all the guardians can wear one, not be obstructed by it and gang up on Tsa. Tsa believes he has a good gauge on Ainz and that he can take him. On the other hand, Ainz knows he lack intel. He knows the armor was remote controlled. Ainz is the only one who knows that fight was between two puppets, and that he needs to get a proper gauge on the puppet master. What's truly frightening about a villain like Ainz is that he isn't just powerful, he also has no hubris. Hubris is always the downfall of the mighty in stories.

note the 'lance' shaped hole on the armours right pauldron. looking very 'pippet' shaped you could say... ainz talking in ainz voice to self the whole time, never in suzukis voice~ ainz noting that the armour doing impossible movement - doing an aileron roll without any movement of the legs like its being pulled by invisible strings. he is musing that the person is manipulating the wpns similarly to the dancing blades that one warrior lady was doing from the 8 fingers (the one that got killed by sebas). and that he was maybe doing the same with his armour , while still in it. the wpns orbiting around the armour move along with the armour - when the armour got pushed away so did the weapons, as they are also a part of the armours 'body'. the doom lord has a lot of psychological spells and auras and they are all ineffective vs the armour. when ainz summons the elemental skull, the fight actually continues for a while longer, as the elemental skull slowly cycles through his spell repertoire, testing if any spells would show to b e especially effective against it, and only started his spiel with throwing himself down after having tested like 4 or so spells. ainz likes using the skull cuz it has a bunch of spells ainzs never bothered learning. all the spells he showed using againt the armour were either lv9 or 10 tier spells polar claw 9th tier ice spell. no special gimmick, just the strongest ice spell in yggdrasil. vermilion nova a 9th tier fire spell. pillar of flame that encapsules the target. mist of super acid - 10th tier acid spell, iirc that one showed very effective against em. the skull started charging up to cast the spell "seven trumpeter" but was interrupted before could learn what it does; its name implied that its a divine spell, and apparently from the 10th tier. so some sort of mega smite spell probably... the skull is a glass canon kinda summon. - the armour also run into shalltear after she got brainwashed, he got hit and instantly had to retreat more or less....

29:35 The suit. There was no way to gauge the dragon's strength.

11:51 That is a Yggdrasil “Artifact”. But the guy himself is from this world.

34:50 while ainz would bow like that, the biggest giveaway that it wasnt ains was the lack of red orb inside Ainz's skeleton. That in itself is a world item and would allow the real ainz to escape from the barrier.

19:15 he literally just said, that body of armour is REMOTELY controlled, thats why grasp heart doesnt work, there is no HEART

The suits were introduced to Yggdrasil as a means to 1. Help new players level up faster and 2. To capitalize on a wave of mecha enthusiasm. The suit essentially sets all your stats to a predefined level value, except for HP (and MP? Not sure if I remember that part right.) Nazarick actually got a ton of those in their own vault because one of their members experimented with them quite a bit and thought he could use them to fight with others on equal footing (since he was more of a blacksmith) but it turns out that was a bad idea. The suits have a few flaws, for one not changing HP/MP, also replacing your stats which will do no good if your stats are already better also only being able to use a pre-selection of spells the suits have been loaded with, which is a natural limited on the kind of situations one can react to. Of course for the new world a suit like that is broken, if one looks past someone like Nazarick, because people generally tend to be far weaker.

13:21 you forgot again you saw that armor before he was fighting shaltear in a flashback in season 2 if i remember correctly you even saw the owner

this fight was essentially just 2 puppets fighting each other while the mastermind controling them was just trying to gather intels lol

I was like, “Great, he finally figured something out; nope, he just talked himself out of it.”

before announcing the fifth season, when they release the Overlord: The Sacred Kingdom movie they may reveal information about volume 17 of the light novel, and after volume 18 they could just talk about a new season of the anime, more or less I estimate that it could be between 2026 and 2028.

Waiting for the last 5 minutes of the last episode. That caught everyone by surprise

32:25 Not just one country. We're seen three directly so far. However, it is important to note that the Re-Estize kingdom is (or rather was) a comparatively minor country in terms of military strength.

Note from LN on Overlord "players" started comming to that world because Silver Dragons used their Wild Magic to bring them there. Afterward each time their magic became more harder to control. Thus there were player 600 years , then 200 years and now.

pandora's actor, being a doppelganger, can only use 80% of the power from the person he transformed. so he was fighting with 80% of ainz's power. of course he didn't fight seriously, he just wanted to collect intel.

when i watched this episode when it was out, i realised instantly it wasn't Ainz for two reasons : 1) the way Albedo talked to Ainz was not respectful at first and she had to correct herself + she doubted "Ainz" ability to do his part well and Pandora's actor had to reassure her. 2) the red glowing orb that is always inside Ainz's belly wasn't there.

Last episode is what some people (including me) call the Disney Princess episode. Think Beauty and the Beast. Everything will come back together in a series of flashbacks.

12:00 You've got that right. It's basically a weak guy (by Nazarick standards) riding a suit that is way above his grade. I think we get more details on this by the end of this episode.

5:57 because the npcs of nazarick that encountered failures, are the ones getting character developments. Characters were Shalltear, Cocytus, Nabe Gamma, Lupus Beta and Sebas, so far.

PDL is doom, Ainz will never let a fight with him happen unless victory is secure.

10:28 "What happened (to allow Albedo to ride the bicorn)?" From what I remember, there are other ways to corrupt her soul without having to go all the way with someone - like getting someone to r_pe, murder, and consume, another person to earn her favor, then harvesting their souls ... that kind of thing.

you know that the guild of Ains Ooal Gown was in possession of 11 world items, and was the only guild with that many, and the closest any other guild came was three!

It's been a while since reading the light novel. I vaguely remember Albedo's internal monologue about not catching the red armor being more of an intentional choice and sandbagging her abilities to try and get more information. Based on context, it felt more like she was saying even her mount could overtake this Red-Armor-Guy. With her ability to fly even faster than that she seemed like she was worried about it being a convincing performance that she wasn't able to catch him. Not fighting seriously was parr of the plan so things wouldn't be over too quickly and the goal was information, not victory.

Don’t forget-we’ve seen “Riku Aganeia’s” armor before: in the room of the Platinum Dragon Lord who was talking to the old woman at the start of Season Two.

Thanks so much for this reaction! You reacted exactly the same as I did for this one, it’s so exciting to see the other strong group. Then you see it was Pandoras Actor, the world item on Ains is the red orb in his chest. They are now tricked in how strong Ains and Nazarick are. Great episode!

"Man, what's happening to me....I got two degrees" brrrr that must be cold lol but loving your reactions during all of this ^.^

I am proud to say I had realized it was Pandora's actor the moment Albedo spoke to him, because she talks to him very respectfully which sh wasn't doing in this episode so i realized it was pandora without even looking at the chest piece.

Also another way to know that it was PA is that he didn't have the red orb in his torso because it is a world item and PA can replicate Ainz items...as you can see when he morphs back into his original form he is wearing Ainz robes

at 34:10, I'm pretty sure Riku is talking about resurrection magic on Azuth at this point, as he's considering killing Azuth to give the armor to someone more obedient, but he's worried with resurrection magic, that whoever resurrects him will get whatever information he has or the fact that the dragon lord killed him.

22:25 just like you said, the anime rambles on for the viewers sake, but they also cut out all of the elemental skulls part. Additionally, all the spells it casts are maximized. Whilst Ainz tanked, it cast multiple spells of different elements and Ainz noted that Riku took the most damage from acid

Just to summarize for you. The armored person who called himself Riku is actually known as Platinum Dragon Lord (PDL). PDL was briefly shown in season 2 in Shalltear’s brainwashing flashback. But it was not shown in season 1. I haven’t read the light novels after s4 so I’m excited to see what happens lol.

You are correct. The suit is from the game (Ygdrassil). It was passed to him and he is a normal (albeit high level for them) New Worlder.

oh what the movie covers is just so AMAZING that you shouldn't feel bad that it doesnt continue on from season 4 its my favorite arc and has the BEST GIRL from all of the books, trust me ITS GOOD

you probably missed it but the dragon said that he uses a special form of magic called wild magic or soul magic, that's why his HP always shrank when he cast spells and no, he himself and the other guy are not players, which you can tell by the fact that he himself uses the wrong word for player and NPCs, but he still knows these words because Ains wasn't the first player to come to the new world, he also knows the 8 greedy kings and the 6 great gods 😁

So we've actually seen that armour twice in the story before this confrontation. One was during shalltear's mind control. We see that this armour was present. The second was during the introduction of the platinum dragon lord back in season 2. Since we are at this point of the story, i think i can explain what hapenned during shalltear's mind control. They were trying to dominate the catastrophe dragon lord apparently and shalltear interrupted them. The slane theocracy had a world item known as the downfall of castle and country(mentioned back in season 2) that they used to brainwash shalltear. But shalltear had killed the wielder in a frenzy before it activated. Also, as you can see, this world has encountered other players before. Its just that ainz hadnt seen them yet, though he had suspected as much for some time. Note as well how PDL(platinum dragon lord) had used the words puh-layer and een-pee-cee instead of player and NPC as ainz says them. Thats because he really doesnt fully understand those terms and only knows an idea of how this works. He's also severely underestimating the sorcerer kingdom at this pointm he stated that they have 2 world items but in reality, the have about 11 Also, the name of the PDL is Tsaindorcus Vaison. Which is why his farmilliars call him Tsa

33:51 He is talking how Azuth could be resurrected if he is killed, not Ainz. The dragon was talking about killing Azuth to give the armor to someone better. But then realized that he could be resurrected and may talk about what happened.

33:53 "Riku" is most likely the player from the 13 heroes that he befriended and learned more about Yggdrasil from "Perhaps the Sorcerer King had a World Class Item too? But since he could not break out of the barrier, the likelihood would be low, right? Or maybe he left his World Class Item behind? That was certainly possible. He had heard from Riku that there were guilds which possessed two World Class Items, so it was possible that they had two as well."

The dragon calls then "enn-pe-ce" so I question how much he actually knows about the players

Pandora is MVP, he gets a lot of information and the enemy gets false information about full body armor suit (tofu) that fights albedo... as far as I know, it is used by beginners in the game yggdrasil to increase overall stats. It's not very strong, it's difficult to use and has several weaknesses. If wearing full armor, cannot use other additional attributes to increase stats. that's why pro players or high level players don't like to use it or think it's useless. but it's different for people in the new world.

i love that people don't notice it's not Ainz even with the red globe missing and Albedo acting indifferent

in the scene with the 8 fingers at the begin, the leaders were unsure how should handle their ppl, if the playing children and such were too long and just in case send someone to tell em to be even quieter then already were. in addition to chaining coco doll in the main entrance room, just in case, also had always one of the leaders present and switch em out in shifts while they were waiting for someone from nazarick to come and get em. they were also unsure if would actually come or not, just told to be ready. they were probably waiting for like 1 months in the mansion at that point. essential as reward for their good service were told to pick 1000 of their ppl and have em wait there and be ready. the leaders had to struggle with picking who gets and who not - the most promising ppl and their families were picked more or less. 8 fingers was a lot bigger then just 1k members. when they arrive at the fake nazarick in the woods, they were told to wait there for 2 weeks and had supplies for that time, for their safety a bunch of undead were placed in a big radius around the place for their protections, as those were dumb ones tho, were told to not move past the perimeter as they might would get attacked by em otherwise. there was also essentially a small village build around the fake nazarick, iirc. coco doll is taken to the cockroach room. just in there for like 24 hrs or so maybe. for eternal protection a small price. auras beasts. frost virgins for cocytus (they are actual part of his retinue on the floor he governs). and a bunch of hanzos for mare (just assigned as additional protection, just in case).

Yes, Bicorn is the horse you are thinking, but i think she is implying false things in this anime scene. i remember her mentioning it in the LN but not that she could actually ride it currently

the suit is an item from ygdrassil. like an armor set bought on the game store like the little sticks ainz broke when fighting shaltear. Ainz actually have a few of them in Nazerick the guy behind momonga likes to collect things. riku aganeia was a player if i remember well, the leader of the 13 heroes (players isekai'd 200 years before ainz). platinum dragon lord was a member of the 13 heroes, but unlike evileye, he is not a player. platinum dragon lord helped them in fighting the evil gods (players isekai'd 400 years before ainz) thats how he knows about players, items and ygdrassil.

just as a bonus: Ainz mentions in the novel that he very much doesnt 100% believe that his name truly is Riku Aganeia, he wouldnt be so easily fooled like that

26:20 there are beings like that, but most know the strength players can hold. Going against a Player whom they have little info on is essentially a death sentence because they dont know how many or what kind of allies they have. Because of that, most stay secluded or avoid players until they are affected by them. PDL being the only one to take action so far after Azuth requested it when Ainz decided to wipe out a nation.

17:55 In "Yggdrasill", if the damage is completely nullified, additional effects will also be nullified. (with exceptions) Therefore, Ainz asks how they achieved the additional effect of knockback.

Most people I think theorize that Riku is actually a player that was a friend of Tsa(platinum dragon lord) and he was just lying when he said that he just came up with that name randomly.

This guy memory is just like goldfish! You already saw that armor in season 2!

I really like Azuth, because he’s like the Iron Man of overlord. His greatest strength is being able to distract and escape his enemies so that his stronger ally’s can take out the big bad. I was high-key impressed by his performance, considering he’s only about level 50-70 with the suit. Also, the one controlling the suit is the platinum dragon lord. He is a level 90-100 dragon lord, and is one of the stronger dragon lords- but not the strongest. There are actually a lot like him, very few of which we actually know much about.

The dragon wasn't thinking about ainz reviving after killing him. He was thinking about killing the red armor wielder in order to give the armor to someone more competent... but ultimately decided it was too much of a hazel

grasp heart is very strong for new world standards not so much for yigdrazil. That character is using a puppet and it thous doesn't work on him but would almost differently also not work on him in dragon form. That shows that he is one of the strongest in the new world. That Spell isn't effective in PvP against other players or very strong new-worlders because they would either be immune against it outright or because they have counter measures. Albedo also mentioned in this episode that she herself is immune against death magic when the armored dude attacked her. Don't remember what level grasp heart is. You have impressive memory if that is correct. :,D I am an overlord nerd and I don't remember that. It's high level for new-world standards and it is a good indicator if a character is strong. Ains character build is role playing oriented but mid maxed player builds or new-worlders would not have that spell in there repertoire if they are close to max level. Ains just has it because it's cool.

I was waiting for this reaction to the point I was refreshing to see if the video was up several time. XD But to answer some of your questions: 19:03 Grasp Heart is indeed a 9th level spell. The summons he used (Doom Lord & Elemental Skull) was summoned using 10th level spells slots. 29:21 "Ainz" was referring to the remote controlled suit. Not the one controlling the suit, as that's impossible for him to know. We don't know how powerful the Platinum Dragon Lord is. There is speculation that he is possibly over level 100 since he is not actually a player, and the game Yggdrasil did have raid bosses that were over level 100. But we don't know for sure (so think it's more likely that PDL is around level 95-100). 35:19 To be precise, Pandora's Actor can copy 80% of someone's strength. But you have to keep in mind the level scaling isn't linear, so he is effectively moreso around a level 95~ish Ainz. If he was around level 80, then he would have been at a significant disadvantage when fighting PDL.

Everytime Pandora's actor acts as ainz You can't see his core 😂

FYI: about the Overlord world, this is only at the tip of a continent and even the novel doesn't cover the entire continent. If asked if there is someone as strong as Nazarick, it is very possible, even if this continues into season 5 there are many strong people appearing

Luke forgetting words, he’s becoming more American by the second…I approve.

Yeah, Albedo's staff is a world item called Ginnungagap (named after the primordial void in Norse mythology), which functions essentially as just a portable nuke. It just has the ability to create a huge explosion. And yeah, Ainz would've been able to make it through the barrier. His red orb is a world item, though we know neither the name nor the effect. It is funny how PDL ruminates on the possibility of Ainz having 2 world items in his possession. In reality, they have 11 world items, including two of the 20 strongest ones, which disappear after a single use. The next guild with the most world items had only 3. Ainz Ooal Gown were certainly good at hoarding cool stuff.

this is my fav ep it was so good lore wise , action wise, and even had a really cool plot twist impressive
