The Witch of the Falling Kingdom | Overlord S4 Ep 13 Reaction 

This season was fire!

In the novel, Climb is quite confused when he sees Renner running while carrying a big sword without looking exhausted. It turned out that at that time she had already turned into a demon. This is further confirmed when Climb is called "the last human in this palace" before entering into the throne room. Inside is Renner who is still alive, but she is not considered a human anymore.

I love when Climb accused Ainz and co for forcing Renner to kill her father and they just looked at eachother like “Bro, is he serious right now?”

Renner becoming a demented Disney princess with that song was so crazy

"He cant even climb out of that bed" Renner: *That's the best part*

Renner dancing and singing the way she did was technically "anime-only," but it actually is a very smart way to adapt a part of the narration for her state of mind at that part of the novel. To quote the passage in question: “ Her dream of the past was minuscule. It only grew to how wondrous it was now because she had met them. How lucky was she that she could realize such a dream through the simple betrayal and sacrifice of the Kingdom? She wanted to dance. She wanted to sing. The joy in her heart was overflowing. She was truly, truly overjoyed. Her brain felt like it could break from all of this happiness. Demons were immortal. Being locked up in here meant that she had just found shelter in the safest place in the world. ” The anime also turned the thought about only having to sacrifice the kingdom into a spoken line and turned the description of her euphoria into actions to make it understandable and better felt. THIS entire scene is a prime example of what a good adaptation should be.

At that moment, Renner canonically was the happiest woman on the face of the planet.

The most unsettling part of the episode is Renner dancing/singing Her unhinged laugh and pitch black eyes gave me chills

I used to think people gave Renner too much credit comparing her mind to Demiurge and Albedo, but she's been running the game in the kingdom the ENTIRE time? That's impressive as hell. She was truly a demon even before the transformation

So y'all can have a better grasp on the difference in power here: In the New World, there are level caps per species. The cap for pureblooded humans is projected to be LvL 30, which to this New World's rules, is The Realm of Heroes. This is where Gazef stood, right at level 30. Now with Brain and his fight with Cocytus, between the potions and his martial arts, he was able to boost his physical capabilities beyond that hard set rule and get himself to dish out an attack equivalent to a LvL 40 attack. However there is a fundamental rule about level differences and damage. To even harm a being that is LvL 100 you, yourself, HAVE to be AT LEAST LvL 60 and even then, between your LvL difference and their equipment, you might deal a single point of damage that realistically would most likely auto-regen. So that whole nail cutting bit is actually truly hype because despite all of that, he was able to make a physical change. And lets be real also its perfect for Brain to have fought against Cocytus because Cocytus is an honorable warrior who gave Brain a fitting warriors death. ANY other guardian would have just splattered him without a second thought.

In the novels, Albedo was pissed with Renner because Ainz played the role of fighting Climb. And also Renner is terrified of Ainz and believes that he is some amazing genius, and also believes that she must do everything in her power to prove her worth to him and Albedo or else she will be discarded.

Everyone attacks Ainz's red orb thinking it's his weak stop. It's literally the strongest thing he has on hand.

Renner literally having a victory dance in the grand hall, all while pretty much every other human is the kingdom is dead, because of her, singing and laughing cause she's got her boy-toy trapped in the other room is one of the most hilariously dark things in this entire show.

Renner is definetely in top 5 Overlord characters. I could consider her transformation and singing the peak of her character

Oh my goodness, the Renner dancing scene wasn't in the books but oh boy do I like it. Also, the fact she's still nervous around Albedo after all the planning they did really shows her high intelligence. Secondly, I'm glad Renner and Climb are actually joining the crew, mainly because Climb is a good guy who already gets along well with Sebas. Hopefully he can continue training under him.

I like how when demiurge orders Climb to get on his knees Renner is unphased in the background and then when Climb looks at her she's suddenly facing the same way as him and not struggling while in that position. She's actually bowing for real. lol. Subtle details.

So it was that the Princess cemented herself as Nazerick’s number 1 Social Climber.

That whole scene with demon renner was legit insanity. I loved it and a very well done season finale. W show

Renner singing gives me chills, awesome season from start to finish!. Too bad we have to wait for 5 years until Season 5.

Renner basically went " All according to Keikaku "

Renner is my favorite Disney Princess lmao. 🤣 No but seriously she's probably my fav character so far, she's just so twisted but so cool. Edit: About Climb, the reason why he decided to pledge allegiance to Ainz is because he didn't want Renner to be alone, I mean think of it, everybody is dead, Climb has no one left but her, he decided that he would live his eternal life for her and that's exactly what Renner wanted, Climb now has no one but her, all his attention will all be for her. Edit 2: About the boxes, they're purpose is Race Change, she used the first one to change from human to Imp, and the 2nd one is for Climb, I'm not sure what the conditions are but I know that to activate it Renner poisoned all the children at the orphanage she visited. Remember right before the kingdom was invaded she went to drop off food, that's when.

Look don't feel bad that you guys miss things. That just shows how dense and enriching the world of Overlord is! From the tiniest of item callbacks to connection revelations, that's how large of a scale this world is. Yes the anime can't show all of that or we'd have each season be like 52+ episodes. But just knowing that makes what we do get a cliffnote special case.

While the power of friendship might not of helped climb win, the power of evil sure allowed renner to bring him back. At the cost of a kingdom and her humanity that is! Hopefully when you guys have some freetime in the schedule you check out Isekai Quartet. More of all the isekai characters you know and love!

Climb's okay. It's just how exactly Renner wanted him when she was talking in season two. Whenever you're resurrected you lose a few levels. Climb (just like the Lizardmen) had to sacrifice a few levels (His 'life essence') in the New World to come back, which made him incredibly weak. He just couldn't move, (which ya'll picked up on) when Renner was talking about having sex. She was just going to straight up ride him without him being able to do anything.

5:28 That foreshadowing ...when they say to Climb that he is the "last human in the palace" yet we clearly see that Renner is still alive when he comes in, she was already turned during that scene

This season of overlord defines the true meaning of "dark fantasy"

The Seed of the Fallen is an item that can change ones race. That was the item that changed Renner and since Albedo gave her another one as a reward it is for Climb so they can be together forever just like what Renner wanted.

Ainz: "I am quite satisfied with the results." Bro I would be too if *my* plans which *I* didn't know half of worked out in the end

While I wished the anime adapted Philip's last moments as described in the light novel, cause of the added Renner song and flashbacks that there wasn't enough time; but that song was so unexpected and mesmerizing that it's completely worth it.

11:44 Albedo to Philip: "Our expectation for you were low, but holyfuck.."

1.The whole episode was done so well, but this scene takes the cake as arguibly the best scene in all of Overlord A mad genius of a Princess that betrayed her family as well as the kingdom that treates her like a glorified prisoner for power, immortality and her own sick fantasy; dancing to the tune of her own voice and that of the capital she spent her whole life in crumbling all around her Its a beautifull and haunting scene that wasn't even in the LN, but entirely something they added in to cap off probably the best season of the show so far. If this is the level of quality we can expect from the upcoming movie, then I am totally onboard. 2. I love how in any other show, the downfall of the Kingdom would have been the inciting incident that kickstarted the plot. But here its just a footnote. Ains even makes the joke to Climb's face telling him how this isn't that kind of anime 3. One of the prerequisites for using Seed of The Fallen (effectively a race change into an Imp) is to attain a negative karma rating. And with talk of poison and Renner serving food to both the orphan children and the women working there I think you get the picture

Holy fucking shit, the Naruto music with the Hanzos cheering ABSOLUTELY KILLED me.

The movie is gonna be crazy good considering how Ainz and demiurge are gonna play with the Holy Kingdom damn I'm excited

I'm pretty sure Shalltear's disguise is literally just what she would look like if she wasn't undead. Her skin and hair color is unnatural because it's the color of a dead person. It just looks so different because the original colors are so unnatural that it creates a huge disconnection from the character. Not like she doesn't do this with her design all of the time already. She's literally an evil paladin. xD

Renner singing is not in the light novels at all but by god it is one of the best additions to any anime I’ve ever seen. I love the light novels and I’m a bit of a purist, but that dark Disney princess addition really fucking tied the room together. I got chills.

I hope Renner will have an album released Lmao. I like how Overlord demonstrates how humans are their own monsters. It even suggests that even contending with an overwhelming power, we could move even the most powerful being by having virtuous people enough to gain respect. Hence, Ainz and Gazef.

There are 2 kinds of people who watch overlord. There’s people who seem to feel bad about what our main characters are doing, and then there’s people like me who actively root for them to massacres entire cities. Also, Princess Renner was the highlight of season 4 for me and I was rooting for her to get her twisted happy ending. The reason I like overlord is because it feels good to root for the “bad guys” for once.

Ainz and the rest of his guild have role playing standards when it comes portraying evil mastermind villains. Hence why he monologued so much during the fight and let Climb have a few attempts to attack before he cast the instant death spell. Every part was included to convince Climb that Renner had no choice but to become a demon in the end and to join her.

In the light novel Phillip and Albedo's scene is waaaay more disturbing because after she gives him that gift she takes him by the ear drags him outside and shows that she had every single one of his friends, family, neighbors, everyone in his domain and impaled their bodies and heads on pikes showing true horror before dragging him to Nazarick and having him tortured to death.

Renner went full evil disney princess lmao

Interesting part of the novel is the Aniz fighting Climb was not part of the plan Renner took this as a threat from Aniz saying "hey i know this boy is the only thing you care about so NEVER cross me" She fears him now more than anyone cause she cannot predict him.

It’s crazy how op Renner is. She’s a new world human with intelligence that rivals Demiurge, Albedo, and Pandora’s Actor. Level 100 NPCs handcrafted to perfection.

Giving my first time to a demonic Renner or not is more conflicting to me than I thought… One thing I can say about Renner is she’s an interesting character and I’m looking forward to what she brings to Nazarick in the future.

Using the seed to turn into a demon has some conditions, one of them she took care of, remember those children at the orphanage she was giving food to? It was poisoned, she even thanked Albedo for that poison this episode

The animators had wayyyy too much fun with Renner’s dance man 😂

Im sure someone already pointed this out in the comments, but I just think it was funny that the ice maids at the throne room told climb that he was the last human in the palace and then in the next scene we see that renner is still there, probably saying that she was already a demon by that point. I just thought it was funny

Nazarick honored Climb with a one on one fight with Ainz. It was both leash and gift to the Golden Princess. For Renner wants to remain a shining symbol in Climb's eyes, and her role in the Falling Kingdom must remain a secret. Climb is both gift and hostage, his life only has meaning as so far as Renner is concerned. Renner arranged the stage by removing Climb from the castle in the pretense of hiding the Kingdoms' symbols. "I suddenly remembered something I have to do" a statement wholly suspect considering her intelligence. A bald faced lie spoken to her poor, ret~rded puppy. Renner, however, did not expect the leader of Nazarick to act as foil to her Climb. And the Overseer of the Floor Guardians are none too happy that the man she loves and respect should play the fool in someone else's story. She would be discarded in a heart beat should the Princess fail to meet their expectations regardless if Demiurge or Albedo initially recognized her talents. Thus the Witch of the Falling Kingdom shuddered as she realized the genius of Ainz. Her position in Nazarick is secured as long as she produces further results.

Ainz telling Climb you're not "Kirito" and there's no such thing as power of friendship that will help climb

Albedo, the one who considers humans to be so far beneath the denizens of Nazarick that comparing them to insects would be insulting to Entoma, credited Renner with 90% of the invasion. Goes to show just how evil Renner was even before the invasion started

you can imagine when Renner was dancing and singing while Ainz was behind while watching 😂

I love that demonic Disney princess moment where she's dancing and singing it was awesome and creepy as hell!

Just fyi, Renner has completely bought into the Ainz is a genius among genius narrative (commonly called SASUGA AINZ SAMA among Overlord fans). During that scene with Albedo, Renner sensed simmering rage from Albedo since, as Renner put it, Ainz had to act out that silly role due to the original plan’s failure. Before, Renner and Albedo were on good terms, so Renner had planned to hold back some of her true abilities in case she needed an ace in the hole to raise her standing later on. But she felt she no longer could do so since Albedo was so pissed that she would take any small lapse as an excuse to punish Renner, possibly even kill her. Renner credited Ainz for disrupting her original plan since she thought he foresaw her plan to hold back to corner her and force her to go all out from the very beginning. The second cube is of course for Climb. Renner has already set up Climb to garner the negative karma necessary to activate the cube with her “loyalty test” comment. She proved to herself Climb’s absolute devotion to her by having him violate his own good nature just to obey her orders, running instead of protecting others, and of course, more significantly, refusing Rampossa’s offer of Climb’s heart desire with the bonus of saving his love’s life, and instead choosing to obey Renner. She’ll likely slowly ramp up his turn to the dark by having him kill criminals in cold blood under the excuse that she needs him to die to her new demon nature, and culminate in having him do the equivalent of murdering an orphanage full of kids who love and trust him to activate the cube under the guise of the “loyalty test” she said Ainz would force him to perform.

You know what's funny? Renner losing her virginity first before Albedo does.

Lmaoo the thumbnail, roshi: 😲 lupa: 😱 and then there's Sheera: 😐

To become a Demon Princess Renner Gave Poisoned Food to all the Orphans as a sacrifice

The book series is planned to end on book 18. Book 16 was just released in Japan. Each season covers a few books each, so yes, the next season is likely to be the last since this season ended on Book 14. Books 12 and 13 dealing with the Holy Kingdom were skipped and will be covered in the upcoming movie.

Climb: My love and rage will overcome everything. Ainz: Snap back to reality!

"The End Begins" has 2 meanings. one is yes, next season will be the last season. the next season will be the last 3 books of the series. there is also a movie coming out that is 2 books that was skipped over during this season, just an FYI. second its a reflection back at the name of the first episode "end and beginning". also dont worry about the LN knowledge, this show does a great job of giving you bits and Easter eggs hidden throughout. I will warn everyone to watch some thumbnails on youtube cause i think somebody who has read the Japanese (original) versions of the LN have spoiled the ending of this series for me....still trying to drink that picture out of my mind.

To think that princess Renner did all that for some Climbussy...

Climb finally gets to show his stuff. While futile, he at least had time to get some licks in. Gazef's "will" fought alongside him in the gifted ring, so Climb actually did get that rage "Power-up" that Ainz chided him about. Oh, and Renner went full on Disney Villainess there at the end. An exceptional episode of a great season!

Ainz casually use Reality Slap to climb and i didnt expect original scene for renner, that scene somewhat give me eerie vibe with the lyric and i love that small detail when frozen maiden said, climb is the only human left on that kingdom

Shes the Disney Princess the Kingdom deserved

Was great to watch/rewatch this season with you guys!

Nothing says "Oh this bitch is CRAZY crazy" quite like going into a musical number in a show that ain't a musical

"Ei ei oh!" is a cheer to hype yourself or others up in Japan and is often seen or portrayed as cute and used by cute type characters. Mare is a cute, shy, pessimist type character so he is hyping himself up to do a job he could do easily regardless due to his lack of confidence.

In the novel Philip was drunk for days while albedo and others tortured and killed all the villagers. Philip also threw punches at albedo but broke his fist. His dads head was also not in the box but ask albedo before dying to make Philip regret his life

9:59 light novel readers were surprised as well.

The character development of Renner was god tier

In the LN Renner's inner dialogue said that because Ainz was there to help with her little theater made her think that Ainz and Albedo are done with her bullshit and their "good will" for her its pretty much over...so from now on if Renner shows any signal of missbehavior or lack of loyalty they will kill her and Climb. Thats why she was shitting herself when Albedo showed up.

Ainz Ooal Gown didn't just destroy one town. The army of Nazarick cut a swath of destruction through the kingdom, going through towns, villages(except Carne village, of course), and basically everyone on the way to the capital. Ainz literally destroyed a kingdom to prove a point.

cant even be mad at renner she used her big brain to sell out the kingdom she was dedicated to the role i was just amazed by the time she went disney princess mode lmao

The fact that a lot of the 'bigshot' humans just seem to die very matter of factly could be explained as 'they know they are gonna die', but rather than being dragged into the arena for an execution, they walk into the fight head held high towards that destiny and welcoming it. Same end result, but it's choice on how to approach it.

And the End Begins means that Season 5 of Overlord will be the Final Season. Which makes sense since there are only 4 volumes left of the light novel that have yet to be adapted after the movie releases. So the Final Season will either be followed by a 2nd movie or will be 18 - 20 episodes long instead of 13.

Oh thank GOD they’re gonna cover the Sacred Kingdom, that is gonna be one hellish movie

cant wait for the movie. Ainz and demuirge playing with the Holy Kingdom.

Now you guys can react to Isekai Quartet, since you watched all of their main shows....

Renner was so happy she could sing and dance. she was half mad from the bliss

Aw man i was hoping they were gonna show renner killing the Orphans

They'll be at least 10 seasons if they do all the novels.

Curb your Shonen protagonist...Overlord in a nutshell🤣🤣

Renner already one of the best characters in Overlord

Lmao sheera caught me off guard with that prostate check🤣🤣

It’s the words she says while singing that matters.

The princess did this because she only can be herself destroying everything... that is why she was so happy when she became a demon to be forever with Climb

They turned Climb into Renner's personal table.

Ngl Renner had a better performance than most Disney princess in 3 years 💀

oh yeah btw. i had to go back and read the LN after this. Renner posioned the food she was giving all those children in the orphanage so she could open the box to allow her to become a demon. That's why she built the orphanage in the first place

hey roshi, just some additional info here.. just found out in other RU-vid comments too... the box given to Renner at episode 1 was a race change item, it can change her human race into the demon race class imp. just like albedo. but for that to happen some conditions had to be met. remember the orphanage? at episode 12 the last time they went to it Renner fed all the kids and caretakers there with poisoned food... yeah the condition is to kill certain numbers for her to change race... and when she wielded the sword for a swing that was just her confirming her race change attributes... please pin? Edit: oh yeah, climbs fate is not just a segs pet for Renner. Author confirms that for climb to even have a chance to find sebas, he first has to survive and has energy from tenners segs time. Cause if he can't he ain't getting out of that room.

Can't wait for the movie and the next season. Also I really want an Overlord musical now

And the end begins, is the little teaser for us, the season 5 is the finale season of Overlord anime.

She's a Disney princess... A demented disney princess. Also that sword was made by Wild Magic btw, so it bypasses Yggdrasil immunities. In theory, it can definitely kill all Yggdrasil players if used by max lvl hero.

And here we see the origin story of Link from the Zelda series on his quest to serve the princess, without knowing that she has been serving Ganon all along... Wielding the "Master Sword" that can "harm" Ganon.

8:07- It was actually the dog-headed maid: Pestonia.

If there is a winner this season, its definitely her.

Dying and death are two very different things. Dying is an act; one which can be rather slow and painful. Death is a force - a state of being, representative of finality and end. It doesn't matter how badly you die, ultimately the result is the same. Death is equal to all as it equally relieves suffering

6:40 ainz's monologue was a bit more personal “You will die here...you are not worth saving. You, who are without talent nor ability, do not deserve salvation. However, do not despair.” The Sorcerer King appeared to be looking at Climb, but also not at the same time. His eyes appeared to be looking somewhere far away. “This world is unequal. The inequality you experienced started the moment you were born. The birth of those with talent meant that of course, there are those born without talent. Furthermore, the environment one was born into differs. A rich family versus a poor family, even the personality of your fellow brothers and sisters matter. Those who were lucky will go on to have fulfilling lives, but those who were not, do not. However, I must reiterate, do not despair at such inequalities. The reason for this - is because death is the equalizer gifted to all. That is to say - me. Only the mercy bestowed by the ruler of death to all could be regarded as absolute equality in a world riddled with inequalities.” Climb could not understand what he was talking about at all, he was probably telling him to rest in peace the long way round.

One of those rare times when the Yandere gets everything she wants.

Albedo is terrifying when she shows her Evil Nature. Looks like she will have her revenge against Philip. And his own father wants him to suffer and Albedo agreed.

On 2023, Overlord movie the paladin OF a holy kingdom is out. I hope YOU all do the reaction. Sorry if my English is bad🙏🙏🙏

renner deservers that amount of budget they placed in that scene. she proved herself to some of the most intelligent demons in the entire world and became a demon herself, even if she is evil, she does deserves what she achieved.
