The fact that Cocytus walked around Brain so that the area around him was left unsullied and pretty much made Brain into a statue just shows how much he respects warriors

Cocytus walked around the path that Brain was protecting. To show respect for the fallen warrior.

I've never seen this in any kind of media, Cocytus respected Brain so much that he walked around him, leaving untouched the path he was defending. Also I heard that this ice don't melt, so his body will be there forever showing the one men alone who fought to the end.

Unironically, the beating Lakyus took from her teammates was a legitimate demonstration of the power of friendship in this series.🤣 Fun fact: the street Brain protected was the same one where Gazef found him, the same one where he met Sebas and Climb, where he was saved and where he reborn, which makes his last stand there so significant. Cocytus noticed and honored him by taking a detour🥲

Out of all the human characters. Brain is my favorite so I'm so sad to see him die. And what's sadder is he didn't even have a chance to fight Ainz nor see him like he wanted. But what I like is Cocytus respecting him and recognizing him as a true warrior. He even changes his direction so they won't walk over his body.

The narration in the novel made the Brain vs Cocytus part much more memorable. Also, by the way, Brain broke the limits imposed by the rules of the world in that moment, and Cocytus noted that the attack was equivalent in power to level 40. In the New World, you cannot get exp and level up by killing things. Only Players can do that in the New World. New Worlders instead can only can exp by training and mastering things. Individuals also have their own level caps(for example: Gondo Firebeard, the dwarf who joined side with Ainz, had a level cap of 11, and Runesmith had a requirement of 10 levels in other types of crafting, so he could only have access to level 1 of runesmith; hence him not being able to improve himself in that field). Then there's the species overall level cap. Humans, safe for some exceptional few, normally have a species level cap of 29. This is the reason why they call level 30+ as the Realm of Heroes. Only incredibly talent humans or humans descending from such bloodlines can breach that threshold. Being in the Realm of Heroes is one of the base requirement to be a member of the Theocracy's Black Scripture, with all of them being around level 35+, except for some who are much beyond. - The 10th seat (the huge guy from episode 10) is stated to be above the Realm of Heroes and thus above level 40, but below level 50(since he's not at the level of Evileye yet). (The seat rankings isn't based on pure power. For example, Clementine was 9th seat, but weaker than the 10th and stronger than the 7th.) - The captain/1st seat of the Black Scripture is implied to be around level 70. (He's a Godkin, a descendant of the 6 Great Gods, the players who founded the Theocracy 600 years prior.) - The extra-seat(the half-elf girl who was playing with a Rubik's Cube in episode 1 of season 2) is level 88. (Also a Godkin.) For comparison, Gazef was said to taken a step in the Realm of Heroes. He was level 29-30. Brain was about level 27-28 when we first met him, and he was level 29 in season 3. Now, back to this episode. It is stated in the narration of the novel that Brain has since then surpassed Gazed and reached into the Realm of Heroes (so about level 31). Then, as for how Brain overcame the limitations set by the rules of the world: 1- To use Martial Arts, people of the New World use Focus. You can think of it as Focus Points. The stronger the Martial Art, the more Focus points you need to allocate. To use multiple Martial Arts at the same time, you need even more Focus points. The higher your level of power, the more Focus points you have. Since you can only level up by training and mastering things, being more talented means gaining access to higher levels worth of Focus points faster. 2- In the New World, there's also a concept known as Talent. Talents are special abilities for individuals. Brain's Talent was him having access to more Focus points than what his level should give him. 3- The "Nail Clipper" Skill/Martial Art that Brain developed and used on Shalltear in season 2 is already an incredible technique that combined 3 Martial Arts that each need a lot of Focus to work individually: Fourfold Slash of Light, Field, and God Flash. Considering how Focus intensive the "Nail Clipper" Martial Art is, Brain couldn't use any other Martial Art while executing the Nail Clipper. Then, there's also how he wasn't just incorporating the Fourfold Slash of Light, he was directing all of the cutting light slashed to attack the same spot all from different angles, which is more much Focus intensive than using it normally. 4- Since the death of Gazef, Brain trained under the teacher of Gazef and learned how to use the "Sixfold Slash of Light" Martial Art, but he wasn't able to master it fully by the time of the events of season 4. Still, he learned it. However, Sixfold Slash of Light demands more Focus than the Fourfold version, and Brain should thus not have been able to use it in the Nail Clipper. 5- What marked Brain having surpassed Gazef and achieving the Realm of Heroes is Brain having created and being able to use the "True Nail Clipper", thus one using the Sixfold Slash of Light instead of the Fourfold Slash of Light. However, even then, that became the maximum amount of Focus he could allocate any one time. 6- In his confrontation with Cocytus, Brain, with pure willpower, broke through the limitations of Focus and Martial Arts set by the rules of the World and activated 2 more powerful and Focus intensive Martial Arts (Ability Boost and Greater Ability Boost). THIS is the reason why Brain started bleeding from his face. He strained his body beyond its limits to the point where his body would have been greatly injured from this and would deteriorate from the inside after a short while. However, Brain only needed that small moment. He didn't care for after. This is impressive because it's simply not something that can be done normally. Boosting yourself for a short while at the cost of permanently weakening yourself for the future after that short while isn't an option according to the rules of the World when it comes to Focus and Martial Arts. Brain just did it regardless. 7- The result was that in that moment, Brain reached the power of level 40 from level 30-31. Of course, it's not enough against a level 100 warrior, but it's still very impressive.

Just to shed some light - the stance that Cocytus uses is Jōdan-no-kamae, which is the quickest destructive stance. It is used mostly only by masters of the sword as it is an advanced move that leave you open to attack if you miss. It is the one hit kill where a master uses his skill with his life on the line. Cocytus used this as a sign of respect between warriors, going so far as to match Brain's katana with his creator's own, while most others in Nazarick would just slaughter him and move on without a thought. As for the moving around the body: He held his ground till the end, and he did not sully the action by passing by the spot he defended - the action gives respect to the warrior who was worthy enough to make him stop and go around. In some actions in feudal Japan, some armies even stopped attacking a fortress out of respect of the men guarding it. (Honda Tadakatsu, Defense of Komaki Castle, Ishida Mitsunari was so impressed by him that he abandoned the seige, took the long way around the castle and left.)

Cocytus walked around Brain's body just because he respected him as a warrior and didn't want to trample his corpse.

One of Auras most powerful talents is she can "EQUIP" monsters she's tamed to herself. This increases thier own power and give Aura a HIVEMIND connection to them; so she sees, hears and smells everything they do. I don't know how many "slots" she has, but the ones she's not connected too can still be given regular orders like any other trained animals.

Most of the members in the Blue Rose made the right call in escaping the kingdom, since the chances of beating Ainz's army is literally 0%. Why should they protect women and children if they were going to get slaughtered anyway due to the difference in power between them and Ainz's army, It's basically suicide. So them forcing Lakysus into coming with them to ensure their survival was the smart thing to do. Despite the method being incredibly brutal to watch. Also Rest in peace Brain. The man got lucky, since he ran into a member of Nazarick that ACTUALLY shows some level of respect to humanity even if that respect is under certain circumstances, since his fate could have been MUCH worse if he ran into practically ANYONE else. For instance, Had he ran into Aura, there's a good possibility he could have been eating alive by her trained monsters who she labels as nothing more than trained pets. Or been crushed by the falling debris of the kingdom by Mare. Brain got what Ainz considers mercy. A quick death lol.

If you recall Season 2, that's the same sword Cocytus told the lizardmen he wouldn't use on them because they weren't strong enough to warrant it. It's the final, and greatest weapon crafted by Cocytus's creator, Warrior Takemikazuchi, before he quit the game. So it speaks volumes how much respect Cocytus had for Brain to use that on him, let alone to preserve his body and keep his sword as a trophy.

A little extra information from the light novels about the fight with Brain and Cocytus. None of this would be a spoiler, as it's all revealed in the light novel by this point, but I'll space it out just in case you'd rather not read it. Extra Info: At the beginning of the show Gazef was considered about the peak of what was humanly possible, around level 30, right at the doorstep of "the realm of heroes." Brain was slightly below Gazef then. In this fight, Cocytus estimates Brain to be around level 40, far more than any human they have seen up to this point. Part of him wanted to take Brain to Nazarick since he was so strong for a human, but he also wanted to respect Brain's resolve as a warrior who put his life on the line for what he believed in. For the new world, and particularly for humans, Brain could finally be counted among the strong.

Brain surpassed Gazeff in this episode, in an earlier episode, you can see he used Gazeff six-fold sword of light and trained under Gazeff's master. By combining both techniques, he was able to step foot into the realm of the legend (for human, it's around level 40s). He inherited Gazeff's will and died in the Kingdom. That's a nice dark fantasy moment, when you achieve your goal life, you become the best of yourself and still mean nothing in front of godly being like Cocytus. But he died and fulfilled his dream. On the contrary, another legendary human, Fluder, the mage of Baharut empire who now is working for Nazarick, it is a contrast between two legendary humans. He is also the strongest warrior Cocytus has ever seen so far, that's why Cocytus was surprised and why Brain earned a lot of respect, not only by his action but also by his skill and dedication toward the warrior way. It also speaks about the view of death from Cocytus, or Nazarick, death is something they deem not that scary, more like eternal rest. Being like Shaltear or Demiurge will enjoy torturing people before killing them for that reason, so to end someone quickly it's mercy and goodwill for Nazarick. Like how Cocytus vs Brain and Ainz vs the prince and Gazeff. To people like Aura, they simply didn't gave a fuck about life or death, you can see her attitude, she does not care about torturing or sparing people or showing respect to send them off. They are different kinds of evil.

I love that Cocytus walked around him instead of walking past him, it actually hits me super hard every time I see it. So much respect for his opponent.

Cocytus went around to honor the courage of brain. As brains goal was to not let anyone through, cocytus out of respect and honor made his last stand eternal, brain died not letting him through. even in the end you can see that only the street directly behind brain has no ice, because of the respect he earned. such an honorable man cocytus!!!

“I promise you if Climb didn’t nod Brain was gonna kill everyone in this room.” Brain killing all of Blue Rose at the same time? Not a chance in hell.

I love how all the NPCs have vastly different personalities and will even bicker. But at the end of the day, they are *all* insanely loyal to Nazarick and Ainz above all else. Like how Sebas went out of his way to save and protect some human that asked for his help, but was wholeheartedly about to splatter her brain over the wall after being told to do so by Ainz. I just wish the anime spent a bit more time on their character development. I get why it doesn't, but still.

Those guards died from fear induced death effect. Aura's pets are Lvl 74 to 78 iirc. "Seek life when facing death". Vesture Kloff Di Laufen, ex -adamantite adventurer, master of Gazef Stronoff. Brain went to him to learn Sixfold slash of light like Gazef could do as he previously could only do fourfold. In this one instant he did an attack comparable to that of a lvl 40 character. He broke the rules of this world twice - once by doing greater ability boost(after just a normal ability boost his capillaries had already burst and he only had enough left for nail clipper by then) and then by doing an eightfold slash of light. He didn't even know that he had already surpassed Gazef.

The street that brain protected was the same one that gazef found brain and stopped him from killing himself. And cocytus circled around to respect the wishes of this warrior and don't destroy that street.

On the bright side, Cocytus just immortalized Brain and might become a tourist spot attraction later down the line as the ruins of the capital city might become a historical site. A preserved monument of the strongest warrior of this fallen kingdom.

Renner has a special Class called Genius 5lv. She can temporary turn her 5 Levels into any other basic class of her choosing. By swinging the sword once she instantly became a Level 5 Warriors.

You know Brain is a true warrior when he named his ultimate move "True Nail Clipper" Respect

Brain was my favorite human in this series, I'm kinda sad that he didn't get to run the ones with Shaltear again.

Cocytus reminding us again why he's one of the best servants in Nazarick. Not only does he imply Brain is a worthy warrior by taking his weapon as a trophy, he doesn't cross Brains path on his way to the capital out of respect for him.

Fun fact. The character that invaded Nazarick, the blonde one with the sisters lived in the original web novel (this you probably already know). He changed this because he wanted the reader to feel like no one from outside of Nazarick is safe. So despite having a great character arc and just being a great character, you’re suppose to anticipate Brain’s death. Because no one is safe unless they bend the knee.

That walking around the body thing is so unique. I don't remember seeing that kind of stuff before.

The katana that Cocytus used to slain Brain, belonged to Warrior Takemikazuchi, one of Ainz old guildmates. He later gifted it to Cocytus before he retired from YGGDRASIL It is the sharpest weapon of the twenty-one that Cocytus has in his possession, and he only unsheathes it to those he has the greatest respect for.

He used BOTH hands against Brain And then walked around Brain after his death That is respect. I just hoped that Brain was able to properly say goodbye to Sebas, too.

For me Cocytus going around Brain like that is like ' aight u knew u gonna die but u still went against me and i respect that. i ain't freezing that street that u defended '

brain in his last moments unlocked something deemed impossible in this world, a third skill "greater ability boost," thats why he was bleeding everywhere when launching his attack. he is, i believe at this time, the first and only human to have achieved a "greater" skill

That little t-rex of Aure's is legit going to be a dark souls boss on the wall smashing soldiers lol!

Cocytus walked around Brain out of warrior respect for Brain's last stand so as to not "walk all over" his dying spot

Cocytus walked around Brain because Brain protected his ground. By walking around he left that ground unsullied. True respect.

The thing I like about that brain vs cocytus scene in the novel is that it mentions how much effort and how rewarding it was for brain He literally burst sections of his brain by activating all those martial arts but was happy because for that one swing he was mentioned as completely surpassing gazef. Which was his lifelong dream

He actually did a lot here. Him using ability boost and greater ability boost at the same time should not be possible. He legit broke a law of this world. It shows how incredibly talented and strong he is. He no doubt not only reached the realm of heroes he vastly surpassed it in that last attack. It was 10 levels higher than his actual level. That and he surpassed Gazef by doing a seven slashes at once as opposed to Gazef’s six.

I saw y’all had a new upload tonight, got excited thinking it was Overlord, and instead saw it was a reaction to that GoT spin-off that everyone is reacting to. I felt like a kid on Christmas morning who, instead of a toy he really wanted, got a sweater. 😜

For me the whole reason i liked this series is because i want to cheer for the "Bad Guy" doing bad things that i cannot get from other series that revolve around "The Power of Love and Friendship defeats all Evil" kind of thing, there is no such thing in this series and im on board with that, sadly but its the most realistic thing that you cannot overcome the strong just because your strong will, Brain is the perfect example of it.

I loved the episode. The book does these scenes so much more justice. It also explains everything better. But still seeing it was amazing.

Cocytus showed Brain nothing but respect by walking around the block that Brain was defending, in doing that, he honored Brain because brain successfully protected even that one block.

Behold the emotional rollercoaster of Vol14; Philip started a war, a gundam appeared, Zanac died, Dragon has an armor puppet, Ainz=Pandora, and Brain fricken died! And theres more!!!

Little detail at 5:04 I think it is the first time that Ainz knows what the guardians are talking about. Almost every time the guardians say that phrase Ainz says in his head stuff like “what are you referring to?!” This time both Albedo and Ainz are thinking the same thing. Hopefully I explained it decently enough, my English is not very good.

LETS GO! yall kept us waiting for this one lol

Cocytus made a memorial of battle and had walked around freezing everywhere around to make a grave for a true warrior

I don’t know if you knew this already but Cocytus is the name of the frozen lake in the 9th circle of hell in the Inferno section of the Divine Comedy. It’s where sinners guilty of treachery are punished by being frozen in the lake.

Just FYI Renner poisoned her food, so she murdered the orphanage. 😱😈

You’ll gonna hold on to your seats once you know what Princess Renner really is

it's kinda insane how many people reviewing this episode don't understand why Cocytus went around the block. it's for respect man.

Fun fact: the place evil eye and her gang is going is a place where actually ainz met evil eye in the alternative story!

I don’t wanna spoil it, so I’ll tell you in the comments for the next episode all the things you miss in the anime. Like what was in that stew Renner made. You already know she’s pure evil so you can probably guess it on your own. All in all good episode and good reaction!

RIP Brain, his final stand was epic. Cocytus showed so much respect to him, alone pulling the waepon of his creator and then dont passing him Was a way to honour the resolve of Brain

BTW, on the whole Gazef vs Death knight thing: Well this is going to be very ABC logic but it's the only thing we had. Gazef is said to be around lvl30 and a Death Knight is lvl35 with a power output of a lvl25 and a defense of a lvl40 I don't remember if in the anime Ainz says this but before he fights the Martiar Lord in the Empire he states that his lvl100 spellcaster stats are equal to a lvl33 warrior stats (as in defense, physical attack, etc) Why is this important? well because in the novels it was pretty clear that Ainz (as without the perfect warrior spell) was equal to Clementine in just pure physical stats. That's why he had to lure her into attacking him or otherwise he wouldn't have been able to defeat her without magic and the fight would have drag on. This means Clementine = lvl33 And why is that important? Well, the author stated that Gazef could defeat Clementine (with difficulty) if and only if *he is equipped with all of the kingdom treasures* and *Clem is without her Black scripture gear* (like when she fought Ainz) Meaning *Fully equipped Gazef has power of someone around lvl34* Lastly, Ainz said that you need to be at least lvl45 to be able to *one shot* two death kinghts when he though that a player defeated the ones he send against the quoagoa (the ones who died by falling off the bridge) Meaning that you don't really need to be that much high lvl to defeat a death knight. Gazef equipment *prevents him from getting fatigued* gives him *HP regen* and with *Razor Edge* he can *bypass inmunities and defenses.* He actually damaged the Dark young he attacked at the end of season 3, is just that his low power output against the dark young massive HP barely even counted as a minor annoyance. Still, the fact that a lvl30 hurt a lvl90 is huge even it was just 1 point of damage and it was the reason why the dark young send him flying away instead of just ignoring him (it couldn't kill Gazef due to Ainz's orders) With all this in mind I say that yes, Gazef Stronoff, the kingdom strongest, can indeed defeat a death knight. PS: As Brain was stated to surpass Gazef and is supossed to have reached lvl40 on his last moments (by Cocytus himself) Then yes, Brain can for sure defeat a death knight

So I wanted to explain something about the ending scene with Cocytus. He is 100% Honor and 99% Duty, And as a Japanese style Warrior, he Respected Brains Determination, For a Warrior who refused to allow Cocytus to pass. That as a sign of Respect, Cocytus Walked Around him in order to move forward. He did not Disrespect a Warrior by walking down the Street he was Defending.

Just imagine chilling in you’re living room and a fucking T. rex come crashing threw yo roof 😭

Gazef is weaker than Death Knight. Death Knight is 35 lvl, Gazef was 30 lvl. Two is overkill. It was epic change of a character Brain Unglaus did. From a scary, frightened chicken to a brave the strongest person in kingdom (without azuth in his red armor (red powered suit). At this moment of fight Brain Unglaus was even stronger than Gazef Stronof. Nail clipper cut is supreme (for human standard) technic. RIP Brain, man of honour. "kto mieczem wojuje, od miecza ginie". Lakyus is... such a legend. She wanted to fight for this good for nothing kingdom till her death. It takes 3 of her teamgirls to get her down. And on top of that, these girls were all in their battle mode, equipped with armor and weapons. While only Lakyus wore dress (0 armor) and no weapon, just bare handed. They had to use 5 poisons on her, one in tea and 4 in needles, many punches, weakening magic etc. It still took them some time and efforts. She is really strong, much stronger than Azuth without his OP boosting armor. Azuth is orihalcum in power, while Lakyus is legit adamantite level. Aura is cute. She let those guards. Btw T-rex Iris is the weakest of her animals taken there for strolling. There should be 13th episode, final one, week after. I cant wait to see bedridden Climb. Very good story keep. They did it amazingly well.

If you're curious he walked around him as a sign of respect. He won't step over you or the ground that you lay on.

In the novel, Cocytus said Brains attack was equivalent to a level 45+ warrior so he could likely defeat a death knight (death knights are level 35). Also, Brain might not actually be level 45 but is likely instead between level 35-40 with most of his skills being offensively focused.

Renner practicing for her Arthas moment.

You probably already heard this from someone else, but I can lay out the levels for you if you want. Normal humans are level 1. Most of the people of Carne are like 2 or lower after training, while normal human guards & knights are 3-ish. Elite human knights and the o.g. Goblin summons are supposed to be roughly anywhere from 8 to 11, and Jugem tops the group at 12. Freakishly strong locals like Gazef, Brain, Clementine, Hamsuke and the normal Adamantine ranked adventurers are heavily implied to be in the lower 30s, probably just 30 for the humans, with Brain at least confirmed to be 30 at his time of death. Death Knights are 35. Pe Riyuro(the white badger-mole-wolf-rat guy) is confirmed 38, and the Dragon Lord Ainz one-shot was 46. Evileye is around 50, those Evil Dieties that wrecked the world way back are said to top out at 60, while the Pleiades range from 46 to 63(CZ to Narberal). Ainz and the Guardians(+ Sebas & Pandora) are 100. And even a few level of difference can be a big gap. The general idea is that people in the mid 30s are capable of going head on with armies of thousands & winning no problem if you don't account for fatigue, and it was thought by one of his followers that Pe Riyuro both could've soloed the rest of his species if he wanted to & likely could've taken the 2 Death Knights Ainz sent to massacre at the bridge. There was a time where Gazef did go 1v1 with a Death Knight & it would've beat him if Ainz hadn't stepped in, but that was the Web Novel, which both has different scaling & goes a whole other direction that the ln-based anime(ex - Archduke Ainz & Gazef still lives), so I don't know how much value that has for that

Cocytus froze all the ground except the ground Brain died on. He respected Brain as a warrior.

Walking around showed he respected Brain by refusing to "Step over" his corpse to continue his path...he took the sword as a memento of fighting a true warrior

The switch up was quick @3:59 lol thank you albedo!

Ofc the novel goes with more detail, like saying how weak was Brain's weapon, but Cocytus took it anyways to show his respect (and waking around like in the anime)

So proud of Brain.

15:57 Cocytus just wanted to respect Brain by not crossing his path.

According to the light novel brain is about level 50. That's the reason Cocytus says he would've been a great asset to nazarick.

The sword that Cocytus was using belong to his creator and Ainz face it to him also the reason Cocytus walked saying was because he respected Brain advd left alone the spot he was protecting

There really was no other way that fight between Brain and Cocytus could go... Brain was level 30 at most (With an ability that temporarily brought him to the power of a level 40), while Cocytus is level 100, it is just too insurmountable no matter what he did.

It never shows you, but you guys were right to be suspicious. The stew the princess gave the orphans was poisoned. She needed sacrifices to open the box Albedo gave her

The stew was poisoned, Renner did that as a sort of kindness to spare them from being slaughtered by Nazaricks army

The poisoned her 6 different ways, beat the ever-loving-daylight-out-of-her, and still didn't know if it would even WORK!!! What the hell is this woman!?

Brain path in the novel took a 180 from his original path, in the web novel brain was turn into a vampire by shaltear and was took into nazarick.

11:28 Lee know his priority😂😂

Let's all respect how this ironically shows how strong Lakyus is here. They had to put her in a position without her armor and equipment, poison her with 5 different poisons, beat her repeatedly, cast magic _meant to weaken magical resistance several times_ , just so she couldn't resist charm person.

Basically Brain as a warrior told Cocytus "You shall not pass." And while Cocytus easily defeated him he did choose to respect the enemy's resolve and took an entirely unnecessary detour instead of just walking past the fallen warrior. This is the difference between Shalltear and Cocytus: Where Shalltear belittled and took Brain's hopes and ambitions away from him, Cocytus gave him a chance to take a heroic last stand and get his honor back.

Death knight is lvl 35 and Brain at that fight reached strenght around lvl 40 (realm of heroes) which made him one of the most powerfull humans in the new world. So at the end he at least surpassed Gazef. I think that in the LN it was even said that he broke rules of the world and surpassed his limits or something like that. Its sad that he died. But answering your question he probably could solo a death knight but he would probably die to win the fight ( by breaking his limits he was slowly dying and had only short time to fight).

Gazef could probably take a single Deathknight if he had protection from negative energy. I think he was like level 40 (same level as Deathknights) but obviously as an undead a Deathnight has some racial bonuses that Gazef would have needed to counter somehow to win

Cocytus is truly an honorable man.

the Rex basically squashed those dudes up there, wish we could see sum smashed humans

The sword Cocytus pulled out was one ultimate creation of Takemikazuchi, he wanted to create a weapon that could defeat Touch Me the leader of the supreme beings, when Cocytus pulled that sword, was game over ;-;

here's a lil known fact since i read the light novel, brain level wise, was above the maids the only reason Brain got killed so fast is because he had crappy equipment compared to cocytus

The author put this character literally on ice so there's the option of resurrecting him later.

A fool death. He wasted Gazef's sacrifice. In season 3, Gazef tried to get info about Ainz, but in the end the info that Gazef got, Brain didnt use it at all

Knowing what we know about Princess Renner would you want to eat anything she had a hand in making?

Not gonna lie, I knew Brain was gonna catch it in the neck the way the story was trending, but I still kinda hoped. Now my hope is that Ainz will choose to test if he can revive natives on him, after they preserved his body in this way.

y'all ain't got no clue of honor. He met a worthy opponent. He honored him, preserved him, and did not encroach on His Ground. it bothers me that a lot of people have difficulty grasping this, when it's glaring me in the face. He basically even SAYS it. come on...

Brain could totally kill a death knight. When he took the potions he was able to reach level 40 which puts him in the realm of Heros. Death knights are only about level 35. Bro went out a Warrior

Brain in this episode reached level 40, which is basically Beyond what humans would normally do and reached the level of heroes/legends. 10 levels above Gazef. And the reason Cocytus went around brain was out of respect, because Brain was guarding that spot, Cocytus didn't want to disrespect brain by just walking past/over him, and instead went around the buildings he was guarding as a way of showing Brain was successful in his mission of protecting that spot from Cocytus.

Renner has a couple of levels in genius so for her its no issue getting used to it

He walk around it to not walk over the floor that brain sacrifice his life to protect. In the light novel it stated that Brain has enter beyond the realm of hero. The realm of hero are level 30 - 35 but brain true nail clipper can deal level 40 which is enough to damage cocytus a bit since cocytus physical Nullified ablility didn’t activate. He manage to use up to 8 martial art too which the average are 3 - 4. Not sure why the anime only show two but Brain is the strongest non player pure human race in new world we see so far

They were OD with how they jumped Lakyus LMAOOOO, and RIP Brain.

you gotta remember though cocytus is lvl 100, so cause death knights are level 35 he is MILES above them

The start of this shows that Ain's is first and foremost a skilled PvP player, he knows that the best way to look good is the be the winner. Toward that end a little personal dignity loss is a small price to pay. Of all of the people in this show I think I feel the most sorry for Climb, when he finally sees what the princess is..

notice how renner made it a point to "feed" the orphans ... also note that she handled that heavy sword like it was a nothings ..... not saying anything just pointing out a few things ...

17:19 WITH the Gundam he's stronger than Gazef. Without it, no way.

Cocytus walked around to pay respect to a true warrior who died figthing, and not passing over his body.

…I. Have. Never. Heard. Of. Such. An. Excellent. Warrior… It was such a shame that he had to kill him. If it was possible, he wanted to save his life and have him become loyal to his master. He could have easily broken his opponent’s sword, tanked his hit, or broke all four of his limbs, but that is not the way of a warrior. Cocytus had already sensed it when he saw this man standing on his own from afar, he knew it all the better when he stood face-to-face with him: this was a warrior who had made his resolve. Cocytus could not dishonor such a man. He knew exactly how beneficial it would be to bring him under their rule, but still killed him. It would not be wrong to say that he had betrayed Nazarick. Still. He wished to converse with him through the clash of their blades. ... Just as Cocytus was about to step over Brain, he stopped himself again. He looked towards the castle behind Brain. “…” Cocytus turned his head around while deep in thought. He turned right and walked into a path that was narrower than the one before. He walked down the path until he emerged onto the main street again, after which he took another right turn. He walked along while confirming the castle’s position, taking every right turn detour that he saw which brought him back to the main street. Cocytus looked towards his right. Brain’s remains were now quite a distance away. Cocytus then silently walked towards his left - towards the castle.

I thought it was pretty obvious the red armor was what made him strong. All his attacks are from the armor and the dragon even said he should kill him and give the armor to someone else.

Brain was holding his ground until the end. Cocytus walked around him so that he would not unsully that ground, a form of ultimate respect for a fallen warrior. Also the sword he used is something he only uses against warriors that he respects.

He walked around the corpse so that at least brain could have pride in holding him from going forward that route
