Cocytus doesn’t want to disgrace the resolve of the warrior who stood against him.
In a mere glance, he understood that this man is the most adept on a single strike duel and thus was granted unto him.

Good episode, that duel ended faster than I expected but the outcome with Cocytus and him was pretty expected considering it's literally Cocytus

More than duel itself, it was the scene when Cocyutus walked around instead of passing Brain that gave me chills. Music and camera positioning really worked great there too.

I'm curious about what the final episode will contain, I guess this episode doesn't have any explanation about the next episode. I hope the last episode will leave a good impression.

A much weaker episode than the previous.. but I guess it is hard to top PA vs PDL. Didn't care much for the tea party moment with Blue Rose and Renner, I just felt it took up too much time. Brain vs Cocytus was.. well, brief and kind of just.. underwhelming. For a master swordsman, you'd think he'd learn more than the same one move he's been doing over and over since the beginning. But more of the original writer's fault.. even in the LN, I don't think he's done more than that. I had a chuckle though that he changed the name of his skill in reference to his small win over Shalltear.

Anyways, finale up next.. hoping it wraps up what has been a pretty enjoyable season overall despite some hiccups.


His technique evolved though. It's now a compound technique of gazef sixfold slash and his own god flash and Field martial arts. If any, he had a constant upgrade since season 1 at every fight!


Fair point, I did miss those small details.. I think I just wanted much more of a sword fight than him instantly dying lol. But I guess it's not that kind of anime and the author just wants to instil complete hopelessness to the viewers. RIP Brain.. a pleb to the end lol.

from my opinion (I've never read a novel or manga.) From the last episode that made the mood of the story look like something big happened, but In this episode, the excitement from the previous episode is reduce. However, I am still expecting and looking forward to the final episode.

RIP Brain Unglaus. Cocytus showed him more respect than expected. Definitely more than someone of his strength could be expected to get considering the opponents strength. Ainz's plan is pretty smart, it'll be great to see it pulled off. It's gonna be hilarious when everyone thinks that they've managed to defeat Ainz in a 1v1.

There's the movie to look forward to at least!

As for another season, IIRC the author wanted to end the story around volumes 18-19 and the novels are currently at Volume 16 while this episode and next week's will adapt the last parts of volume 14... So I think one or two more seasons would be enough to adapt the entire story

Really? I never read the novels so I dunno where this current season is based on there. But I feel that after this week's episode, next week's finale wouldn't be the actual finale of the series; I don't like being left on a cliffhanger episode. lol

I hope our local theaters release the movie when it comes out, and I'll actually try to watch it (even if I have to go by myself lol).

To me it feels as if every episode has just been building up to something and there have not been any release points (if you get what I mean).

didn't expect that blue roses situation, gonna assume that's their last screentime for this season, gonna be expecting more of 'em in the future! Rip Brain, Couch W

also can someone explain why cocytus went around the buildings after defeating brain? Is it a 'warrior respect' thing or did he just wanna freeze the surrounding buildings lol

I think it was more of a tactic to let the survivors find him easily

I love how both Brain and Gazef got one shotted. I wish they had more screen time and character development so their death would be even more impactful.

Yeah, He stood his ground so that's a way to respect what he died to protect, he is basically now a statue honoring himself.

What surprised me the most is Renner doing an aoe with a sword swing, probably got some powers from nazarick which isn't unlikely tbh sense she seems to be pretty good terms with them.

Kinda wanted to see blue rose fight, but i kinda get why they fleed sense they knew firsthand how it would have ended up.

Rip Brain, was one of my favorites among the human cast, but he got a "good" death compared to what rest of human cast usually gets in this show and even got Cocytus respect in the end.

Cocytus walking around and freezing everything in his path was pretty badass as well and animation for it looked really clean.

Brain was always going to die this way. I’m glad it was to Cocytus, a warrior that shows respect. Walking around to leave the street Brain died to protect was a powerful scene.

The adventurers attacking their leader took me off guard, atleast they will survive.

I have been in the overlord fandom for too long to be surprised by Brain dying here though, I wonder how I would have reacted to this if I didnt know about it? Just feels vain, might as well have killed him off screen or sent him to some distant land.

Im honestly not a fan of Cocytus overblown warrior pride schenanigans. He walked around the street, much wow.

In a sense this is a turning point, because so far we spend loads of time to explore characters who ultimately just die anyway. All this time exploring the kingdom, characters like Gazef and Brain, the adventures of Momon etc. We just dont get this anymore. None of the other countries are half as developed story wise, not even the empire.
From now on you can tell the author wants to finish the story asap and wont delve too deeply into side quests anymore. Which is a shame, the detail and time spend on less important story arcs by side characters really set this apart, maybe even more so than the villain POV.

PS: call it artistic, but this ep really was pretty boring

Is the next season supposed to come out soon? This just really has the air of a 2 cour season. I’m drooling to see the plot it sets up, but I feel like it hasn’t advanced much maybe because I binged the previous seasons after they were finished, but this one doesn’t seem to have the same shock and awe we get in the later part of an Overlord season
