Ainz plays everything like a chess master. I like how he tries to use every tactic to his advantage while facing off against such a deadly warrior. Plus, he has somewhat of a badass outfit this episode.

Also, screw Jircniv this season. I can't stand his personality much anymore.

Love the political move being played here with Ainz personally defeating what maybe the symbol of strength for the Empire which believes in strength. The battle was also pretty good though I was hoping for more movement on Ainz's part. I must also say, his drip with that get-up is solid.

Maaaan, I LOVE the constant maniac overthinking of Jircniv
Plus how he was plainly rooting for the defeat of Ains in front of the whole arena lol

Ainz: I’m just gonna pop by the coliseum to put on a show for the crowd and recruit adventurers for my exploration plan.

Jircniv: Here’s the keys to my kingdom and my undying fealty. We’re cool right? Right!?

Lmao Ainz.

I love that skelly! It’s pretty funny how he was wondering why the emperor and the crowd weren’t cheering for him lol. He can be pretty clueless. It’s the same with that magic book and the old man. Dude just gives him some magic sounding book to peek at and it’s like the secrets of the universe lol.

Osk looked like some Charlie Brown mfer lol. He’s pretty smart though, he knew Ainz was the Sorcerer King from a glance. Might have to keep an eye on that dude.

Go Gin was one big bastard. That was actually a pretty decent duel. He put up more of a fight than I thought. That was one hell of a sales pitch though, man just claimed power over death itself lol.

I knew it Ainz just doing his own thing, and Jircniv misunderstood it.

It's so funny hearing Jircniv yelling "Kill him, Martial Lord" again and again.
He sounds so desperate. Lmao

Extremely satisfying episode for sure especially Martial vs Ainz fight of course Martial didn't stand a chance but that was the perfect occasion for Ainz's propaganda, though lol Jircniv at the end, seriously this guy is just getting more and more ridiculous, does he thought he would succeed in anything at some point, that's another fail for him xD

Ainz has a amazing luck. It is amazing how he destroy possible menaces and collaborate with his own world domination plans without realize it.

I thing that game he was playing had luck stats that rise when you level-up, and since he's level 100...

The fight scene was well animated and quite interesting, it was nice seeing Ains' POV after the last episode, basically showing what he was doing while all that was happening.

The emperor thinks he has seen through all his plans when it was just a mere coincidence he showed up when the meeting was taking place.

I love how he used fear and awe to rally Adventurers into joining him, even Ainz, as slightly dumb as he is, can make some very smart moves, great episode

Jirchiv freaking out about ainz’s “plan” is really the funniest shit lol

“What if he doesn’t have a plan”

“Impossible!”

Another great episode. Really happy with the job madhouse have done with this season. Pacing is just right. Animation was really solid during the ainz fight too.

Hilarious that bit. Actually madly relevant in this day and age too. We think that politicians have incredibly machiavellic schemes and sometimes they're just winging it like we are, lol.

This. I've always found it really funny (and surprisingly not repetitive) how everyone around Ainz keeps overthinking every of his moves. Jir just turns it into an art. That comment of his knight here was perfect.

Well... What do you do. At this point, our little emperor shit his pants. Good thing Ainz is undead, otherwise everyone would see his "Huh" face.

Jircniv's desperation was quite hilarious considering that his worries are over-exaggerated. The fight was interesting and I wished it could've been longer. Also that rabbit man moment.

Well this episode played out exactly how I thought it would. Cutting back to the discussion with Osk and then the fight with Go Gin. Overall a decent episode but they cut a lot down to fit it in which is kind of disappointing. It was fun seeing my guy Go Gin even though his part was abridged. We also got introduced to rune magic this episode so next episode will prbably kick off the dwarven kingdom arc which I'm looking forward to.

I was expecting a Gazef Stronoff type of duel but I can understand this is more fitting for a colosseum match.
Jircniv’s expression is also perfectly on point. His face, his voice, kudos to the relevant staffs.

I feel bad for the Emperor, he is dealing with a creature beyond human comprehension and God lvl strength, ofc he is stressed and fearful. Imagine you personally would have to face that abomination, literary fighting God. Reminds me of Berserk but in reverse.

No chance against Ainz Ooal Gown and Jircniv appears to understand this a little too well xD. Momonga struggling to come up with an answer because of his lack of knowledge was a funny addition there.

Despite all the limitations, his opponent, who is supposedly the strongest in the Empire, couldn't even faze Ainz Ooal Gown. It's hilarious that he didn't even come up with the plan and his whole game plan was just to promote his training institution, but then there's Jircniv losing his absolute sh!t. Can't blame him though honestly, and his cheering was commendable.

On another note, the full episode being dedicated to Ainz Ooal Gown, feels like it's been a while since this has happened.

Ainz looked great on that outfit, so much better than the usual goofy gown, I wish he would use gear more like the one on this episode. Ainz being clueless while everyone is terrified and in shock is always so funny, "maybe he wasn't thinking anything." the one guy who was able to see Ainz thoughts.

Idk why ppl are hyping his outfit in the fight, looks goofy to me, fits far better wearing that huge robe he usually has.
Anyway great episode, although sad they skipped so much to fit it into the episode.

JIRCNIV cheered for Warrior King, and how AINZ found him annoying. XD
