The Rune magic went downhill not because Tier magics introduction weakened it, but because Tier magic was much more convenient to use. It takes a dwarf decades to learn to inscribe a single rune upon an object, and decades more to improve, not to mention that some other races don't have the luxury of spending decades to inscribe just one rune. Tier magic, however, can achieve the same effects temporarily or even permanently via several methods and far less effort. For example you could have an always sharp runeblade, or you could just learn a low tier spell, a martial art or even get a potion that temporarily makes your blade sharper, or you could pay a mage to permanently enchant your weapon. If there are only so many battles that you will ever face in your short life, it's all far more convenient than using Runes. The biggest outlier among all these options are ofc the potions. Not only do you not need to learn anything to apply them to your weapon, but there is also a great variety of effects to choose from depending on the situation, while with runecraft you're stuck with what you got. The reason why Ains was so interested in runecraft, besides it being not part of game's mechanics, is that it has potential for mass productions while it's in his hands, and because it can be applied to A LOT of things outside of battle as well. For example put a cold rune on a metal box. Now you got a refrigerator. Put protection and preservation runes upon anything and it will endure being used several times more before breaking. There is a whole sea of possible applications for runecraft when combines with resources and capabilities of someone like Ainz.
literally just cheaper enchantment, although its stated that rune magic was still in its Golden Age 200 years ago before the 13 Heroes and the Demons, so it was only relatively recently that runecrafting has fallen off
First and foremost, awesome video. Please keep reacting to more overlord videos. Secondly No Godkin or any other character for that matter in levels 80 - 89 can fight a 95+ character in most cases. It was mentioned that after level 90 each level is so much more advanced. I think, not sure about this but I think at some point in LN it says 1 level from 90 onwards equal to 10 normal levels late game (late game probably 70 - 80). So the gap between a level 89 character and level 90 character is actually 89+ 10(70-80) levels. Which is massive. So unless the level 90+ character in question is a dedicated support class like cleric or healer with no offence magic at all then there's no question about the outcome. As for the current status of the three Godkin, We were introduced 2 of 3 in anime so far the Captain Dude and Zeshi. Third one has been introduced in LN but not in anime yet. All three of them are alive atm. Beside The captain Dude (as I like to call him) who briefly got involved in the fight with Shalltear in Season 1 they haven't really got involved yet. At least in Anime. In light Novel all 3 are making moves or in some cases are forcibly moved 🤭 by Nazarick. We have to wait for the release of the next LN volume to determine the fate of some of them.
yah the level disparity gets pretty bad for those last 10. However as is often said, underestimating can mean death. so level 90 or just under could still be dangerous. ie If Mare had less information and hadnt learned ainz approach to combat its likely TGOALIS wouldve turned the table and caught Mare off guard if she hadnt seen Ainz use it prior, thus being aware to cast Pheonix Breath. same as in the sidestory with Ainz acting like an overblown fool to get Elder Coffin to underestimate him, then mogging him with a Primal Fire Elemental + Dark Young, even tho the author stated ECDL was effectively level 100+ due to his abilities probably the same as the historic incident where Deep Darkness Dragon Lord killed a player and took their world item, since most dragonlords are shown around level 95
There's a huge plot hole with all these videos is that they ignore that PDL stated that players appear every 100 years or so, meaning that after the 8 greed kings and before Ainz, 4 other waves of players arrived and we know essentially nothing about them so most people just treat them as if they didn't even exist but one of them might be the father of a character that'll appear and grandfather of the godkin half elf that we know and you mentioned.
Yeah, btw, care to make a playlist for those extra overlord vids, since they are not on the overlord playlist? Also, I left a few other comments on other vids correcting or giving some extra info about the subject. A sugestion, maybe checkout the chibi reviews done on the overlord episodes, they are pretty good for the most part. Finally, good work and keep it up. A lot of the content regarding this subject, like it appeared on one of the vids is, speculation based on available info, always take that into account, Maruyama straightout stated that he doesn't like to make things clear and likes instead to make a story that spreads hints and people have to put things together themselves. Also, the LN were originally supposed to have 20 volumes but they were but to perhaps 17 or 18 depending on how much he writes the next, final one, and that's not counting that he stated that he had enough content to make the story far longer but he doesn't want it to be a long story, damn...
It makes sense that not every Player that made it into the New World would end up written down in history. The ones we do know about are 6 Great Gods 600 years ago 8 Greed Kings 500 years ago the Player killed by Deep Darkness Dragon Lord 300 years ago 2 of the 13 Heroes 200 years ago and the Minotaur Sage 200 years ago Another possible Player is the Goblin King.
wow, great timing, i was just looking for a vid to watch. Anyway, the godkins were indeed not shown anymore after that scene in anime, because they were not relevant to the plot at that time. but you will see them in season 5 , and more than this will be spoiler, so I`m gonna stop.
@@chicanimereacts Not your fault, since usually when the story shows someone or something, it is obviously gonna be relevant in the same arc, but overlord is a weird case, one fun example in light novel that i found is when Ainz made a small mention of Gazef wearing a ring and thinking he is married in first book, but after years we learn that ring was the one the dragon lord gave him.
Well overlord is an anime, ofc it has way more power and uses than would be in a dnd game. Because in dnd players need to keep track of all that and it can be tidious as it is. Also what overlord took from dnd was based off 3.5 edition which apparently was a way more power heavy system with just a lot more stuff. Which made balance a nightmare. So 5th edition, which mist people will play now, has a much more toned down power level. Less abilities, less uses, and they are per day or short/long rest, so its easier to track. Not to mention the lvl 20 cap.
