Who Are The Eight Greed Kings - Overlord Analysis/Theories 

Thumbnail is not of the Eight Greed Kings, as there are no images so I used that as it was the only thing that fit.

@@Espiritu_Analysis Thanks.

i'd love to see a large video covering all the previous isekai events in the new world's history. i think i only know of 4 of them including Ainz but i've never been clear of the exact history

As far as I understand it, he could grow so strong because he was a player and thus could level as easily as in the game. New Worlders seem to have a level cap, a low one most of the time

So your theory is we are currently watching the Big bad of the show inact his dastardly plan to rule the world and are just waiting for the heroes to be summoned. I like it

Spoilers Unfortunately author decided to not add anymore players so the story is kinda gonna fizzle out with ainz being OP and everyone being an NPC

@@saosaqii5807 Hmm. Interesting. That means that Platinum Dragon Lord or some other wild Magic threat will be the thing which prompts a second invasion of Nazarick. (The foreshadowing for one is way too strong otherwise.) I’ll be eager to see how he handles that, if not using Seraphim (the strongest guild in Yggdrasil).

@@saosaqii5807 that would be fkin massive let down after all the buildups we went through.

Actually the author of the LN will not continue the series. Idk how many volume maybe 1-2 left

Yeah he did fear him. He was the weakest of them and quickly became the strongest due to being a player PDL feared his potential and rate of growth.

Yeah,there composed of 1 female and 7 male and they formed a reverse harem

NEw players in the world after ainz would likely have more world items

@@Zauzzie players in the New World would have a high chance of having a world item as there's a massive implication that the reason players came into the NW was because of the Dragon Emperor trying to summon World Items, which then indirectly summoned those who possess them, although there's a chance that it'll be the case, it wouldn't cause much of a problem as it is stated by the author that Ainz Ooal Gown has the highest count of possessed world item in the whole game, i wouldn't directly go to the estimation but it is said that after Ainz Ooal Gown, the guild after them only had 8( more or less) world item

200 total world items I think but only 20-30ish IIRC were found in the game entire life time of 12 years

@@saosaqii5807 300 estimated world items*, also Ainz Ooal Gown had 20, and after them a guild had 8, maybe a lot of guild had a few world items but Ainz Ooal Gown was stated to have the highest amount of World Items, so i guess 80 more or less are found by guilds

There are 20, 1 time use WC items that can literally change the rules of the game Yggrasil, there's hundreds of multiple use WC items that aren't as powerful.

The thing about PDL vs Pandora's Actor is that PA limited what skills/magic he could use against PDL and intentionally held back for the sake of information gathering. Defeating him was more of a secondary goal/bonus but the main plan was to eventually have Albedo come in to interrupt the fight once it was clear PA was done with the fight. One could argue he might be an even match for PDL if he was fighting seriously and/or had a world item equipped. (he did not have one equipped during that fight). Given the information he managed to gather I would argue he could win a rematch with the armor. Though I'm assuming they will stick to a second information gathering only style of fight if they find them selves battling PDL's real body instead of the armor. Real PDL might definitely be too much for PA though and perhaps only the real Ainz can take him on.

@@MagnumForce51 in terms of raw power yes ainz could win no problem IF he was serious. The problem is 2 fold, 1st wild magic is.. well a weird and unpredictable variable of which ainz has no experience of. The 2nd issue is im worried about the fact that the normal level gap isnt big enough to really fuck around. The level gap is too small 92 vs 100... So i can easily see a situation where ainz fucks around with his food too much and underestimates PDL because of how weak everything else has been in the series so far, and takes too much damage by surprise. where as the other full power L 100 guardians ''if told to attack'', would likely do so as efficiently and directly as possible, without pulling any punches for the sake of info gathering, UNLESS ordered directly to do so.. And ofc 2 or more guardians would curb stomp PDL. IK PDL had a world item that isolated PA in the fight, and PA didnt have any World items. and ik albedo had a world item which is why she was able to get through the barrier. i still believe that the issue is entirely because of how the Doppelganger class is set up in Yagdrissl and how its attack and defense power is lowered below that of what it copies by several levels. that is a HUGE drawback. Im not saying PA is useless but he is OBJECTIVELY the weakest of all the Guardians because of that Racial/class limitation when in a copied form. His uncopied/ raw form is full power sure and doesn't suffer that limitation, but is limited in how many abilities and spells he can bring to bear in a fight. However dopple gangers are BY NO MEANS useless, and have TONS of other roles and versatility. especially in group battles, construction ,farming or espionage roles. which is why Nazzarick has several of them including PA, Naberil and a few dozen others. In-fact that's probably how the series ends. with ainz underestimating some opponent, and getting killed by accident. or the entirety of nazerick and the floorguardians being Ritual magicked away somehow by a big group of powerful mages givng up their life to power a ridiculous 1 off spell similar to the one that caused the yigdrasil players to start showing up in their world int he 1st place..

@Li Yang they are 100lvl

@Li Yang sounds like there is always a new pantheon of God's

@@mantonchannel6321 every 100-200 year a player enter and become God

@@knightbro578 They might not be level 100 though. Don't mmo increase the level cap every expansion? Has there been any info on anyone gaining levels in the new world?

@@DemonKing-oi4jd Players that possessed world items were transported into the New World (in different time periods) during the last moments of Yggdrasil servers shutting down.

This was explained. Platinum dragon lords father did a massive summon for souls as a result of the dragons using wild magic which requires souls. So he is responsible. As a result all players that stayed in the game when the servers shut down were transported to the new word due to that summon. However although they were all summoned at the same time, they appeared in different era's. It is possible that more players also made their way there as well but if they were casual players without high levels they could have died being so weak. The only ones that are known are those that were so strong they were unbeatable and this seen as God's, or Kings, or heroes. They were high level players thus the reason they had such a great impact on the world. Low level players were probably wiped out upon being summoned. Had that slime that was with Ainz had stayed along with him, she would have also been summoned when the servers shut down.

*Thumbnail is not of the Eight Greed Kings, as there are no images so I used that as it was the only thing that fit.* But the image is from the anime.

That would be very interesting

I know that this comment is old, but it's pretty much confirmed that the 8 Greed Kings were all players. They fell apart because they had 1 female member and 7 men. They pretty much started a war against each other to get the girl, which is dumb as shit. As for your theory of the 6 Great Gods not all being players, that is certainly a possibility.

He most likely was a noob player new to the game, Evileye says the players started the weakest but ended the strongest in the party, so he probably was really low level like 10-20.

@@PagemanX Undoubtedly so. That said many fans would digress on that opinion. Let me explain. In Yggdrasil one can only obtain information through thorough gaming hours and reliable sources such as guilds. Since it was an RPG, experience was not hard earned either. Also considering the server shutdown I have my doubts new players would be interested in it. So most likely case is that a veteran player came back with a new account! Now why would anyone even do that? It was mentioned in the Bonus Volume, days before server shutdown mob monsters were disabled. In other words you might explore the game's many yet unknown locations without being attacked. A group of players, as forums would term them 'World Searchers' did precisely that! So while not confirmed, this is quite a likely scenario. Sorry for the long reply btw! 😅

I'll copy paste this again seeing as people keep asking - Thumbnail is not of the Eight Greed Kings, as there are no images so I used that as it was the only thing that fit

I have used it on 2 different accounts and browsers and it works fine. It might be something weird on YT end.

@@Espiritu_Analysis I restarted YT and it works just fine now

Prob YT been all broken again!

@@Espiritu_Analysis ONORE YT! lol

As much as it would stir the pot a lot it will never happen sadly.

Wasn't the 1st ranked player in his guild. I believe it was touchme.

@@MMM-lo3vi was touch me the 1st ?! I don't remember correctly.

Touch me is one of the strongest. I don't think he was ever said to be number 1

@@davidc. I think it's stated he was the strongest. The armor he uses is a reward for first place on a pvp tournament with the three strongest players of the game

@@davidc. He's the strongest PVPer.
