Overlord III Episode 10 Discussion

I love how they sent Barbro to his death thinking that it was safer to go to Carne village.

A death flag after another was raised. I doubt Climb will die as Renner and Ains are most likely working together as the "do not dye your armor" seems more like "you must be very easy to spot to avoid you getting killed by people that knows I want to see you suffer but I cannot stay in the battle and thus your death will await" kind of feeling.

Stronoff might end being a pawn of Ains and Gazef dead because he will come to understand where the SHALLTEAR BLOODFALLEN lives and all. I assume.

Sometimes I feel bad to not have read the light novel but at least I have the surprise effect!

In S2 Renner wanted Climb to die.
Gazef has been giving us a lot of death flags these chapters so it's probably him, but don't forget that Renner don't want Climb to stay alive, she wants him to die in order to make that adventurer of the blue roses to revive him, making him a good for nothing that will stay under Renner's "care" without any way for escape.

Grey-Zone said:


I am sure it wasn't directly mentioned in the anime, nor the LN, but I think the reason Climb managed to survive in S2 that time, despite Renner's deal with Demi-Urge, was due to Ainz/Momon appearing on the adventurer request (filled by Marquis Raven, you know, the guy shown in this episode), causing Demi-Urge to have to change his plans as I think originally he was supposed to do much more damage to the capital and grow as an "evil adversary" until later Momon comes and defeats him, but because Demi-Urge, as always, was convinced that Ainz had a much deeper meaning in appearing early, he revised his plans to fit those of Ainz.

During his discussion in the abandoned building, when Ainz and Demi-Urge were talking about the merits of the plan, he was definitly convinced that Ainz was just humoring him when he said "you found one more advantage in the plan than me, you bested me for the first time". There's no doubt that as far as Demi-Urge is concerned, Ainz probably found 50 or more additional advantages and several flaws in this plan, after all Ainz was the leader of all Supreme Beings, who he proposed the King title of "Wise King" for (although it was rejected in the end).

As a result the deal between Renner and Demi-Urge couldn't be fulfilled because with Momon's and Nabe's unexpected intervention, the adventurer's side was doing much better than expected and Climb never got into a dire enough situation to be killed by the demons. As for the deal? A slightly interesting NINGEN or AINZ OOAL GOWN-SAMA? It's not even a question who Demi-Urge would prioritize. Too bad for you, Renner.

So Ainz/Momon unknowingly saved Climb from becoming a full-time pet back in season 2.

SNDT said:

Nice fan fiction but Demiurge forbade to kill Climb right after they tested Sebas

Grey-Zone said:

He forbade it to the guardians and pleiades, not to the various demons that spawned within Gehenna's flames.

SNDT said:

Yeah, right. Well, it's truth as long as you believe in it. Keep it up!

Grey-Zone said:

If it's not like I say then why don't you explain what you think is the ACTUAL truth? Do you think that Renner never told Demi-Urge her plans or that she only thought about this idea of "taking care" of Climb after the deal was already made? Or do you think Demi-Urge planned to renegade on this part of the deal from the very beginning for some reason? Not answering this question creates a plot hole because if Renner knew beforehand that Climb would be protected then she wouldn't have a reason to have that creepy monologue about "taking care" of Climb - a plot hole.

Unless you explain it with "a moment of pure delusional insanity", but then she would have a more general delusion, not so specificly tied to this incident.

This was the dryest episode within the series. 3 minutes of Daddy and baby playing -uselss. The dialogue was real bad. Best part was at credits.

Oh yes showing what a key character on the kingdom side who has been keeping the kingdom afloat in his own way, is like behind closed doors and with his family is oh so useless. Some day you'll realize that action without meat on the bones is utterly worthless

398288 said:
yeah as he said nobody who dies in Overlord doesn't have their own story

SNDT said:


She said that he MIGHT die and in this case she has a plan. She never said that she wants him to be killed for sure.

398288 said:
Renner's words was simply to convince the prince and marquis raeven,don't take it at face value.Climb is gold-rank as an adventurer at best and it is doubtful whether or not he'll survive resurrection as minimal requirement for safe resurrection is mithril rank for adventurers

Grey-Zone said:

I didn't take her for the kind of person to would weaponize her own craziness like that, but if that's how you see it, then I guess I can accept that.

Darklight0303 said:


I Mean it's just a normal village as far as they know. They have no idea it's been fortified and has ogres and goblins and militia in it

OppaiLover-_- said:

Not to mention a certain nazarick maid...

JayCray21 said:
Aight so we already know that this episode was basically the groundwork for the slaughter thatll happen next episode

BUTTTTTTTTTTT

What i wanna know is what are those toothed monstrosities that keep appearing in the opening credits

Cus im pretty sure theyll appear in the final battle but I dont see them in Ainz's army

Rin707 said:

Yeah those tooth like slime creatures, aren't those the things Ainz used to warn the lizard people about the attack

eWEQRW123123 said:
Overlord has really picked up recently. The last season and half of this one has been boring.

Darklight0303 said:


Sorry you hate worldbuilding. If you're gonna keep going with Overlord then you better get used to it

eWEQRW123123 said:


A good show will make the world building entertaining.

Darklight0303 said:


There are plenty of people who found it entertaining. You're among the few whinging about it

eWEQRW123123 said:


There is a reason why Overlord 2 scored lower than Overlord 1 and is significantly less popular on MAL. The top reviews on MAL also indicate a higher score for Overlord 1.

Darklight0303 said:


Because MAL scores are such a clear indicator of what shows are good aren't they? Besides it's still beating out Season 1. So again try harder darling.

Metalsludge said:


Overlord may evolve to the point where it develops a different following than those who liked previous seasons, which is fine. Lots of stuff is popular in the short term, but then doesn't pass the test of time. So perhaps it shouldn't be a popularity contest all the time anyway.

But I agree with the idea that world building should be done in engaging ways, rather than feel like killing time or falling back on sort of predictable or basic story lines for the "nice" characters. Guess that puts me in the wrong, wrong minority of people who are wrong about storytelling and this series and even life itself etc. I was wrong on the Internet, but oh well. So be it.

I can still look forward to the coming slaughter in this battle though, while being critical of some plot points.

To cherry-pick another example, I never "got" the battle maid, battle nun etc. thing in anime. Why so much enthusiasm for such odd uniforms and habits? Fighting in such stuff only seems silly looking to me. But of course that's subjective. I think Albedo wins the award for practical yet cool looking armor.

Grey-Zone said:


Not because of the difference of how it ended? I mean Overlord 1 had this epic battle at the end, while Overlord 2 ended on an overglorified theatrical performance, a "fake battle".

Overlord 3 is currently still rated higher than Overlord 1, you know, so I'd suggest waiting until the final episode and a bit after that, when the score settles. Overlord 3's ending (end of LN vol. 9), based on accounts of the source material readers (which includes me), is considered the best among the other ending points (i.e. compared to Overlord 1's LN vol. 3 ending and Overlord 2's LN vol. 6 ending).

Of course it's still possible that the adaptation ends up being a complete bust by the anime staff and the ending gets a cold reception due to that, so we should really just wait and see how it plays out.

eWEQRW123123 said:


Overlord 2's score is 7.99. Overlord 1's score is 8.07. How is Overlord 2 beating out Overlord 1? I assumed you had used MAL scores to determine that most people liked S2 and the first half of S3. If not, what is the source of this statement?

Darklight0303 said:


Hahaha you waited to reply to this post for the very moment Overlord's score dropped. Wow you are so desperate it's frankly laughable

eWEQRW123123 said:


The best you could do to determine why Overlord 2 scored lower is to check the reviews. If you want to know the answer to your question, you can do that. As I said, only the first half of Overlord 3 was boring. The 2nd half is the best it has been throughout the series.

Appeal to popularity?

In fairness the weakest books in this currently 13 volume series are 4,5,7,8, in my opinion. The first 8 episodes of this season were books 7 and 8...so personally I am surprised that it is viewed that much more favrorably. I guess just because there is more of Ainz?
