Damn. Zanac seemed like a dedicated leader and capable leader, that truly cared about his subjects. Those foolish nobles doomed whole kingdom and themselves with their selfish and desperate actions. It's sad to see him go in such a way. At least Ainz show him respect and have him a proper burial.

At the start of episode, we heard Ains concealing from his followers the fact, that he intends allow civilians to escape.
Now, after how nobles treated their prince he seems to think, that this country is past redemption.
Does he still intends to at least spare the innocents?

Damn! This episode was so good! Seeing the king of the Empire(?) and how genuine and noble he actually was, was actually really nice. It is a shame they killed him, but those guys are definitely screwed with the Neuronist haha. Love Ains, love this show, love it all. Shalltear best girl.

I feel bad for Prince Zanac, his death was unacceptable and I’m glad the ones who killed him will not have a good outcome for both them and their families.

I’m surprised Black Scripture wanted Red Drop and Blue Rose to join forces with him against the Sorcerer Kingdom. Isn’t the current war due to the a noble from the Re-Estize Kingdom attacking the Slane Theocracy’s wagon? I would think Slane would be on Ainz’s side considering they also support his declaraton for war.
lol yeah I heard from previous chats that the “Theocracy” was a mistranslation. It was suppose to be the “Holy Kingdom” that not only had their carriage attacked but also aligned with the Sorcerer Kingdom in its war of declaration.

Thanks for the clarification.

Zanac death proved why their nation was doomed to fall. Ains is rotten and so are his devils, but the humans proved worse by killing their own last king. As usually it's the innocent civies that suffer most though.

Yeah was a pretty awesome dude, he had Ainz's full respect and Zanac thought that he wasn't even a king compared to Ainz, that's why it hits so hard.
I actually expected him to prevail that fight.. His sis did him dirty.. RIP
Last 5 minutes had me checking the runtime to see how much awesomeness I had left.. These episodes are far too short man.
One of if not the best episodes of the entire series. so far.
Only 3 left.. F_ck.
Gonna go watch those last 10 minutes again

GOD DAMN those last three minutes.
That grip on Aura.. those words and tone of voice..
Dub is gonna water that sh_t down no doubt..
My dude has lost interest, let the massacre begin.
NEXT EPISODE NOW, GAH..

I don't think Chris has the voice to pull it off as well as Satoshi does.
So glad I switched to sub this season. None of the voices fall flat..

Watching ep 8 dubbed today and I actually hated Hilma's voice by comparison, I really wish they'd take inspiration from the original voice actors. If you're gonna be a VA at least put some f'in effort into it.

There was a lot of space for negotiations, but Ainz wants to bring happiness to his underlings by obliberating the other kingdom.
I don't know when having the upper hand from the beginning it's cruel not to accept the opponents surrender.
It leaves a bad taste even when you don't know about other historic events.

Prince Zanac was shining in this episode, like never before. I always thought he was a chubby idiot, but apparently he tried his best.
I never expected the nobles to behead him instantly. They expected Ainz would treat them fairly. Nope!

I was surprised by Ainz reaction about this, like if he felt pity for the prince, he wanted to murder later.
Then he totally lost interest in the battle and left the task to the others, I feel bad for the normal citizens about the coming massacre if it can be called that at all.

Princess Renner should be next in line, but what will she do? wasn't she already a traitor?

Concessions perhaps yes.. Zanac wanted to save his people.. Ainz wanted them sacrificed for his Kingdom..
He wasn't not going to backtrack on that. The honorable deaths are the ones that hit the hardest.. I'm sure there's more to come.

GOAT status achieved AFAIC, even laughed in the face of his own death knowing his was the stronger one for not fearing it and trying to avoid it.
A TRUE CHAD.

Calling him just a 'Human' ? I wish he was alive only to see the terror that has fallen on his kingdom and the people that betrayed him

Oh, but it's still by far the best understanding of Ainz anyone who's met him has ever showed. While he even admits himself already in the first season that truly becoming Ainz has made him care little about human life, we can still very much see how much he's still his original human self on the inside, trying his best to act as the leader his people expect him to be.

I must say that these last few episodes have made me like Zanac more than before. I thought he was a bit out of his depth at first, but you can't fault him at all for what he's done up until now. His negotiation with Ainz didn't go as well as he hoped, but he was able to see how human Ainz was with his own goals and aspirations to find happiness for his kingdom. They both respected each other even as the battle would be inevitable.

Sadly, Zanac's own soldiers turned against them and despite his brave last stand, he was killed off by the cowardly group, who offered Ainz the head of Zanac in order to join his side. Fittingly and deservedly, Ainz sent all of them to the Neuronist, where they'll suffer a slow and torturous death fitting of the cowards that they are.

I look forward to seeing how this battle will unfold. I want annihilation, lots of it...

Common, something has gotta break down here, right? Ainz clearly isn’t thinking about what he’s doing. Surely there will be some consequence that drives a wedge b/w himself and the NPC’s. There has to be!

Yikes. When the nobles handed him the head of the king I knew that they would be given the worst fate possible.

Respect to that dude. He behaved like a true king to the end.

Indeed, unlike the first prince, Zanac had showed true qualities of a good Ruler in his last moments, never trying to run from his betrayers but simply charged to his inevitable doom. Unlike that younger emperor in Akame Ga Kill!, at least Zanac was given a much more dramatic final moments.

Notable, the anime made it clear that the prince's tent was surrounded by several soldiers, it wasn't just a cheap number of guards. So I can assume most of the soldiers, around the area, either belonged to the treacherous nobles or they are just desperate to escape death which is not surprising if most of the soldiers were simply conscripts, not real soldiers, meaning they have Zero patriotism as conscripts were forced to join or they will be executed by royal authority.

I really liked Prince Zanac.. even though he had too many scenes to much of my annoyance. What a way to go for him though.. by his own men. Ainz must be really pissed! Other scenes like the Blue Rose meeting didn't really seem to matter much, but we got to see the faces of some newcomers.. one who seems to be the mecha guy from previous ep. I really hope shit hits the fan next episode.. and we get some action though. Felt like there's never enough of that when it comes to Ainz and friends. Show us some bloody murder! (preferably with as little CGI as possible..)

The scene between Ainz and Zanac was PERFECT. It's arguably the most important scene in book 14 from a character perspective, and the anime delivered beautifully.

On another note, it really speaks to the size and scope of the light novels that, even with 6 episodes dedicated to book 14, they're still skipping A LOT.
