Kinda interesting how this show explores different cultures and the way humans interacts with other races, in particular with dwarves this time.

I have to admit, Ainz often thinks outside of the box when dealing with problems not in his country. Good to also see more of Shalltear, especially in combat gear.

More set-up for what's to come, I'm curious to see what Ains will do about the dwarves and their kingdom.

Also not sure what Albedo meant to Demiurge when she said that Ains is losing his trust on him.

Yay, Demiurge is back, and his attention-seeking fidelity loyalty to Ainz never ends. And that got shut down by Albedo real hard in the time that he's gone missing.

Ainz going to the Dwarven Kingdom Feo Raidho and trying to create a friendly relationship of a diplomatic visit, and this is lead by Lizard Man Zenberu who's adept at the relations. And there's Cocytus being jealous out of loyalty...and him taking Shalltear's servant seat is so funny to watch for a punishment lols, missed that in Season 2/3.

Nevertheless, we really never got to see much of Shalltear's true power in proceeding seasons, and a surge of that shown way back in Season 1 with Ainz's otherworldly thoughts. The pursuit towards the Dwarven Kingdom with a rest stop in-between, and the journey's not long, though it's definitely suspicious of its change of landscape.

Gondo Firebeard certainly is a Dwarven citizen providing critical info for Ainz, and listening to his requests, it's certainly what Ainz was looking for, and he would support those aligning with his view. Most certainly, Shalltear in action is a very missed feature from prior seasons, and I'm glad to have her do some order work.

The Quagoa are real trouble towards the dwarves, and let's see how Ainz and Co. deals with that.

I got a good laugh at Ainz suddenly creating a massive fortress for his force to spend the night in.

For the life of me I cannot remember when Ainz sat on Shalltear?

I love how Ainz thinking why Jircniv suddenly surrender? Is it because of Demiurge? lol

It's so good to see Shalltear in Battle Armor again.

Now who is Lord Riyuro?

As usual Albedo and Demiurge making too much out of what Ains does. Shalltear's actions were quite funny. Also time to save the dwarves.

Demiurge and his plans, man lol. Every time he plans something, Ainz finds himself in another awkward situation lol. Albedo isn’t helping either! Ainz isn’t a tactical genius, he’s just a skelly goofball! Lol.

But man what a great episode. So many good moments. I likedCocytus doing his best Shalltear impression lmao. I fear this is unlocking some weird kink in the big man haha. Shalltear better watch out! She’ll lose her position as Ainz’s official chair lol.

Also Ainz in the lizardman village was pretty funny. Ainz: “I’m not gonna steal your kid”. Also Ainz: “if there were more I’d totally want one”. Dude, this is why people don’t trust you! Lol.

Gondo seems like a cool dude. I’m glad he’s joined the team. Let’s just hope nothing happens to the guy. Anyways, It’s interesting to see that players from 200 years ago basically destroyed runecrafting. I wonder how the world might have been had human players not appeared 200 years ago.

Anyways, Quagoa are like Gnolls huh? They really weren’t a match for Shalltear. She’s done well this episode, Ainz should reward her by sitting on her haha. But looks like things are gonna be rough for the Dwarven Kingdom. Let’s hope Ainz saves them in time and secures new allies.

This adaptation has just been great so far. Complete opposite of the You-Zitsu season we’ve got.

I love how they’re taking their time and working through the political and strategic moves. So important for what’s to come in overlord. Really like how you can see how nice a guy ainz really is on the inside via his internal monologue. Really wants to create friendly relations with the dwarves and other nations.

Shalltear’s look on her face when asked if she was Ainz’s master had me dying.

Arinsu~

So good to have Shalltear back, like was missing her right from the start of this season. Also I see she hasn't lost even a speck of that old flair of her, though too bad Ainz didn't have her as a seat this time around lol.

Can sense a painful death incoming for these demi-humans.

Im only a little bit squeeing for this eps. I liked it. But theres no story to be had when one side dominates another and there isint even the slighest bit intrigue. Bless Shalltear, being the most powerful of guardians, but the plot of this episode seems to be leading to next episode being them porting to the dwarf citadel and her just using her beast powers to capture any volume of them.

Still, I have faith in Overlord. Im sure something wild will happen to make it a bit more interesting!

It's great to see Demiurge again, love his loyalty towards Ainz. He's a really interesting and fun dude and seems like he'll be working with Albedo for this part. Ainz is busy dealing with the Dwarves kingdom. There so many hilarious and good moments in this episode. Can't forget Cocytus being Cocytus. He really asked whose ass was better.. It's great to see Shalltear back with her "arinsu". Well, she's stepping up her game after only doing side missions. Next moment is definitly Ainz pulling up a whole building outta nowhere and lastly the Dwarve calling Ainz a monster.
We're probably going to see some good action against that one Lord, forgot his name.

Best episode so far; not only does it have another big move being played, Shalltear develops a bit and actually thinks on the orders given to her. I wish we had seen at least a bit of how her thought process went.

The expedition to the dwarf kingdom is already great even though it only started, and shalltear action is back!!! Really like how Ainz is already establishing relations with that solo dwarf and now it's up to expanding the runes again and defending them against these kinds of metal wolves is the best occasion, can't wait to see the action in the village now

Centipede? I think you mean Entoma the insect servant, but no she actually has a decent following, she's not unpopular at all, my guess is she might appear later to get revenge on Evileye.

We haven’t seen much of Cocytus in this season, but his small bit about Ainz sitting on him, and Cocytus preparing himself for Ainz riding him in the future was comedy gold imo. Apparently, he's talking about his Ainz future kids riding him as a HORSE in the future. But without context, it’s so funny. We had shallchair, now we have couchcytus. LOL

Poor Firebeard dwarf. At least he’ll be joining Nazarick at the of his life.
Graduated High School in May of 2022. Summer vacation has finally arrived. I have once again regained the power of a new anime fan, being able to watch multiple anime episodes in a day. Time to binge-watch every single anime I can into the night until college arrives. SADGE. SUPER SADGE... College has begun as of Monday, August 30, 2022, so you won't be seeing me much around these parks. See you on weekends, I guess... School me is back. Sigh! I'll at least try for one anime a day with all this course load.

This Dwarven Kingdom makes me so interested as well, glad to see whenever Ainz gets new subordinates from other races :)

Must be nice being with Ainz or be him, summoning entire massive tower easily to camp outside

Farming runed weapons from the dwarves isn't a bad idea at all. Especially with a ainz's loyal skeleton workers. Im glad to see more Shalltear and Aura. Their interactions this episode definitely felt like a sibling relationship. Hopefully Ainz is able to get there before the dwarven kingdom is attacked!

Ains is lucky to have two excellent seats fir him to sit on. Cocytus asking him whether Ains prefers to sit on him or Shalltear was really funny, as was Shalltear's reaction to it. XD

Either way, it's great to have her in action again and I enjoyed her screentime greatly. Same goes for Aura, who's going a solid job in helping Shalltear as well as talking to the lone dwarf within the old dwarven city. However it seems that the monster that they dealt with had other plans in taking out the newer dwarven city, so I can only hope that Ains and his group can put a stop to the enemy's plans ASAP.

That'll be something to look forward to in the next episode (as well as more Shalltear screentime!).

Hm... I was expecting them to cover Demiurge's absolutely hilarious delight in the epilogue for volume 10 at the start of the ep, but here he just seems upset instead lol

Due to minor character interactions and distilling some roles that alas S2 and S3 already botched too significantly to save (noticiable even in volume 10's adaptation, reducing some minor characters and omitting their scenes), it's hard to decide whether the amount of content cut regarding the Lizardmen expedition, as well as Ainz convo with Shaltear and Aura, will deal too much of a blow to volume 14, Maybe they will just move that information for later, hopefully, there was a lot to unpack in this episode as is. Most notably, the prologue for volume 11 was missing, but considering we will get into more detail regarding the Dwarves' culture and all later on, it should be still fine to be inserted at one point. Overall it's still going nicely, and that's considering this was the most they covered in one go so far.

I'm starting to feel more hopeful for volume 14 being well adapted in this season, too, if they successfully pull this off.

This adaptation still is the best we've ever got for this series, so I'm looking forward and staying positive for whatever the outcome may be.

I have a question, runecrafts are more powerful? Too much information was being forced into my brain. So, Ainz is a magic caster but he doesn't make the magic spells, but Runes are a craft that can make you able to make magic spells right?

Also, this looks like an arc of Dwarven Kingdom.

Runecrafts are item or weapon enhancement, but it takes skills and time to make one, while magic spell enchantment are much faster and easier. just like item or weapon imbued with fire magic or ice attack. but as he said runecraft are cheap because you dont need expensive ingredient and huge magic power to create one. It terms of power, they both are the same. More powerful runecrafts takes way more time and skill, similar to magic spell enhancement use more expensive ingredient and insane magic power.

just think of runecraft is a like a bow and spell enchantment are like pistol. they both do devastating damage but one is made handcraft with cheap wood but the other is made in factory with expensive steel.

Thank you so much for this expository! I have a feeling that Ainz will use Runecraft more and will probably speed up the process of using runecraft. And probably even, he will be able to do it without taking a second :ehe: so amazing, Ainz is.

mavericko, I sent you a friend request!
