Great episode, and a small beginning of something much bigger that's coming next episode, can't wait!

It is good to see Shalltear in some action again though I have to say Cocytus’ dialogue with Ainz when he was a seat was...unexpected. Looks like next episodes could be Ainz saving the Dwarves Kingdom.

I was missing Shalltear, so I am happy she has finally had time to shine. I couldn’t help but feel sorry for her when she was speaking to Aura about her feelings. She still blames herself for the mind control, and it’s been eating away at her ever since. She is ashamed and feels the rest of Nazarick think less of her now. However, the way Shalltear attempts to demonstrate she can be trusted with greater responsibility despite her shortcoming is truly inspiring. The writing is just so good, excited for the next episode.

Really good episode. There were many moments where I laughed and Cocytus asking whose seat is better was the best one.

It is great to see Shalltear again. I enjoyed Aura's interaction with her.

Ainz would have the Dwarfs as subjects once he saves them.

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.

If you look back through the previous 4 episodes, there are several instances of Ains mentioning Demiurge's name contemplatively and then dropping the subject.

Absolutely loving these misunderstandings from Ains' actions to his followers. Loving the familiar interactions between Aura and Shalltear. Loving Shalltear in her armor and her "Mass Hold Species" spell. Great episode.
Wow so much to look forward to - Demiurge's reply to Albedo's criticism, what their reply is to the Empire, what to do about the Dwarven city getting wiped out... I assume Ains is going in to save the dwarven runesmiths, but more importantly, what is Shalltears gonna do next episode?
Cocyutos' appearance was cringe, but I know it's supposed to be. I hope there will be a future conversation where Ains explains the difference between being a loyal warrior and a leader of warriors.

Seeing Shalltear acting so lost sure was odd but good thing Aura was around to look after her. Their interactions are actually rather cute, I must say.

It's finally time for the great runecraft of the Sorcerer Kingdom! Aside from the cut backstory I would say that was a very solid episode and a great intro to one of my favorite arcs. But then again each arc from here on out just gets better and better. I'm looking forward to seeing how the rest of the arc plays out but so far so good.

Also Shalltear fans get ready to eat your heart out becuase this is basically the Shalltear arc.

What are the odds that Ainz decides to visit the Dwarves just as they're about to be invaded by Gnolls? LOL...

Once again, Ainz doing random shit always leads to him becoming the Mastermind, you could say Ainz is becoming... The Overlord IV.

Yikes that's not good...this will be a repeat of the Carne Village, Ains-sama will see to the error of these Quagoa's ways like what he did to the Slane Theocracy's Sunlight Scripture.
You see there's no need to wonder where your god is,
Coz he's right here! ...and he's fresh out of mercy.

Mostly a build up episode for what's to come. Too funny hearing Demiurge, the 5Head of all guardians, speaking of himself as INCOMPETENT lol. Hopefully he gets more screen time in future episode.

As expected Ainz made his move to gather more information about the dwarf runecraft. Cocytus offering himself as a chair made me laugh so hard. Especially considering the fact that he compared himself with Shalltear who also served as a chair back in season 2 as a punishment. Let the chair competition begin :D

If it comes to the people surrounding Ainz, he's always aware of someones potential to grow, like in form of experiencing things they might normally not familiar with. So that should be a good lesson for Shalltear, because she still lacks thinking on her own and still depends too much on what Ainz tells her to do.

Typical Ainz just casually creating a giant tower in the middle of nowhere lol.

Gondo seems like a very honest and nice guy. It's sad to to hear that so many dwarves left the traditional runecraft behind. Still, he seems very passionate about, even knowing he doesn't have what it takes for, like his father.

The Quagoa didn't pose a big treat, but hearing that the new dwarven city in the north will be under attack, definitely is a problem. It's a 6 day travel, so I wonder what Ainz will do.

Funny that he doesn't think that much about the strategies while his servants and even the emperor think he does, and he's trying to investigate an old technique.

The competition to become Ainz's best seat. lol
The way Cocytus worded that was kinda gay. lol
11:01 Yep, without Demiurge, Ainz is hopeless when it comes to political matters. I thought he was always a step ahead. I guess being too powerful can give that kind of illusion. It's good to see he has some weaknesses, at least.
The ED is really good. It's the unskippable kind.

I'm always happy to see Demiurge especially when he is conversing with Albedo, an equal in terms of their IQ. As someone who has thought up of many ways to subjugate the Baharuth Empire, even he could not simply comprehend the way in which Ainz himself manage to do so in a mere 3 days without a single civilian casualty. SASUGA AINZ-SAMA!!!

Now finally for the Dwarven Kingdom Arc! It's been so long since seeing Shalltear in combat action, especially with her crimson valkyrie armour. It was never a question that her ability to suppress these Goa creatures are flawless. Though on a more adorable note, Shalltear's constant look of puzzlement whenever Aura is talking to her was cute. These two do share a lot of similarities with their creator as most Floor Guardians do.

Back to the Dwarves itself. It's not often that a fictional story actually has dwarves in them, by that I mean the dwarves being alive. Most would portray the dwarves as a long-lost advanced civilization. Whereas in Overlord, they are a civilization that has lost touch with their traditional roots in rulemaking. Gondo's speech of him expressing his passion for runemaking when his species have mostly turned to magic enchantment is nothing short of inspirational, mainly due to the excellent OST being played in the background, again. As the cherry on top, Ainz's desire to support Gondo's pursuit of runemaking not only benefits them both mutually, but he consequently earned Gondo's loyalty. 

I'm loving the episodes.

Will they save the dwarves in time? I'm sure they will.
Not out of the goodness of their heart of course, because they need them.

It was really nice seeing Shalltear again and also Cocytus being a goddamn masochist.

Shalltear seems much more quiet than in the first season, guess that shows that she's still insecure about her huge blunder back then. I thought she was more like Albedo when it comes to Momonga.

love the comedy part in that episode.

Abedo vs Damiurge is always fun to watch.
Morpheus: The Matrix is everywhere. It is all around us. Even now, in this very room. You can see it when you look out your window or when you turn on your television. You can feel it when you go to work... when you go to church... when you pay your taxes.
It is the world that has been pulled over your eyes to blind you from the truth.

Neo: What truth?
