Oh wow. I didn't expect the twist that it was Pandora's Actor the entire time. Thats clever.

I'm curious how he did 10th tier magic then if it was Pandoras Actor.
Yuritopia FTW!!!!!!!!! BANZAI TO YURI !!!!!!!!!!!!

The Re-Estize Kingdom is as good as dead with the betrayal of Prince Zanac, and this squarely falls on the previous king, Ramposa III for his negligence.

Even with the Eight Fingers gathered together, they're no match for Ainz's lackeys, given Hilma's hidden betrayal and loyalty towards Ainz. And Ainz's fight with Albedo challenging the adamantite warrior Azuth Aindra that has magic imbued and the proprietor himself facing the genuine warrior Riku Aganeia
which is the most serious that he has ever been fighting off its strong attacks.

In a twist of fate, Ainz calling off the fight to negotiate a talk to Riku, and eben with Albedo saving in the nick of time, they got what they wanted: the imminent destruction of the Holy Kingdom, which the Dragon Lord Tsa and Azuth cannot avoid. With that, Ainz and Albedo heads back to Nazarick, ready for their next plan with Pandora's Actor taking Ainz's place all this while and the real deal himself being on the watch.

Really building towards the climax, just can't wait.

Wait, Eight Fingers are however now under control from Ainz

I thought it was pretty clearly Pandora's Actor going in (between Albedo having to catch herself using a less than respectful tone towards him before the fight and 'Ainz' stating that he will play his role perfectly). Haven't read the source material so it is interesting to see a character that is aware of NPCs and 'players'.

Great adaptation. They actually kept in the crucial monologues, which I thought they'd largely gloss over like Jircniv in the throne room last season, among other notable events. They even added things for the audience to understand what was going on, though the extra mysteriousness in the LN worked too.

5/5 episode this time around, I bet the anime onlies were stunned by the plot twist and can't wait for more

I loved Ains' Analysis of the opponent's attacks but it turned out to be Pandoras Actor lol. I have no idea what their (Nazarick's) plan is, and why Ains wasn't in fact there. Just more security measures?

And that Dragon seemed to be pretty strong if he is level 90. Aren't NPCs like Albedo and Shalltear are level 80? And they are stronger than Ains. But maybe I remember incorrectly...So Ains can't really beat him without a good preparation. (I mean, Shalltear would've killed him as well in the first season if he wasn't using all those buffs)
Which means, this guy can actually kill Ains. So far we haven't seen anyone close near that level.

Anyways the Dragon is also aware of NPC's and Players, which confirms they exist in the world and the Dragon talked to one of them.


All guardians and Ainz are 100s, Pandora is also 100 but can only output 80% of the power while copying others. PDL is 85+ and is built to counter undead like Ainz and Shalltear (by using holy magic). Shalltear (100 + World Item)> PDL (85+) > Fake Ainz (~80) . You might look up "Level" on the Overlord Wikia


80% of level 100 is like level 94-96 according to MMO logic, which Overlord is based on. 80% of level 100 is not level 80.

I liked it, enjoying the story.

But I need to address the elephant in the room. That CGI was shit. They tried to blend it in with the action scenes, but it was so shit it was glaring obvious. Ive not experienced so much annoyance a show just got broke since they did that spider show eps and had to remake it from fan backlash.

Unless we take a stand now and vote with out feet, we are going to end up with shit cgi in every the top ranked shows.


You do realize that the only CGI used was with the PDL's remote weapons and even then it was only when they were floating

zytlqae said:
For Overlord standarts it was great.
The only issues are that the fight was cut in half, the weapons are in obvious cgi.


ondradoksy said:
One of the best fights and the cut out like 90% of it.


Uhh, no they didn't? Lol. Maybe you're talking about the elemental skull but that was taken out really quickly.

That's a really good actor!! At first I was... Why is Momonga kneeling...??? Maybe to make that Riku talk or something. But it was that Pandora may be almost out of mana or whatever!!

bruhh i knew it wasnt him because he acted very weird in this ep. Sasuga ainz sama

but tbh i loved that fight because at least we can see someone powerful that can give ainz a challenge

Nah not even the dragon lord can give Ains a run. Pandoras actor is really weak compared to Ains.

Oh my god this season is turning out so good. I didn't even realize Pandora's Actor was playing the role of Ains until it was already over, it makes sense why he got on his knees so he could finish his speech. Seems we are likely set up for another season after this even as well.

I'm shaking in my boots, but since it was Pandora's actor he could only use less than 80% power so dat dragon lord is highly mistaking.. and quite honestly he fooled me haha

What a twist at the end. Never expected Pandora's Actor to pretend as Ainz. Also such a new reveal about the so called Riku Aganeira. Probably there will be more dragon involved in the future. Hope the next season wouldn't take too long to make.

On the other hand, I feel bad for Riku and Azuth lol. They take drastic measures even though they just figt Ainz's double, not the Ainz himself. I wonder how shocked they will be if they realize it is just another of Ainz subordinates

Can someone who've read the novel tell me please :
Why didn't Pandora use the 10th tier spell Time Stop ? His way of "fighting" seemed extremely dumb, he could easily have captured the armor if played correctly, no ?
Why,, because he not even serious from the first he fight Riku,, he there only just to collecting information about enemy even make himself look weak again riku,, and yeah its work,, in the final Riku think that he can beat Ains by his own.. remember Information is Power in Overlord no matter the way the regain is

This episode actually exceeded my expectations, from the start to the end, as the usual overlord episodes only feel like it takes 2 minutes each, and this one is the same, each episode that passes it gets better, can't wait for the episode 12 already.

I feel this episode was a good set up for the final two episodes of the season, seems like things might spice up and saw the dragon is actually somewhat string. Just thought it was so cold when I thought it was Ainz fighting when really it was just one of his boys fighting for him and they struggled that much. I forget how power this man really is.

One of the best Overlord episodes to date. I was on the edge of my seat when the guy in the silver armor appeared. To think there was someone more powerful than the machine guy waiting in the wings.

I love these characters and story so much that I was scared to even entertain the possibility that anything bad could happen to them. Then that twist in the end. Wow!

Overlord is a masterclass in storytelling. What would have been a classic run-of-the-mill fight in any other anime had me on the edge of my seat here. Can't wait to see what the final two episodes of this season bring, and of course, the movie!
