actually nabel can pretty much solo 1 or 2 skeleton dragon. The problem was Kajit keep standing behind and heal them with "Ray of Negative Energy", especially that orb he held is very compatible with his strat.

ps: i can't believe they spoiled about entoma in special 5. Meh i guess it will only be spoiler if the show get another season.

I wonder if some people are watching this show, expecting a boy's journey archetype story, like most shonen series are...

The ANN review for this episode was particularly retarded with a huge double standard talking about how it would've been fine if Clementine was a guy but since it was a female it was like glorifying rape .

To be fair, it was noticed by a single commenter. No one else thought of it as such until said commenter said so.

So no. Just bizarre and unwarranted white-knighting or SJW-lite for a character that deserves no pity.

I think we all know which "commenter" that reviewer is pointing at for saying "hot"

LOL

man... ppls are crazy... rape? who gives a damn, that girl killed bunch of people and tortured another girl slowly to her death.
we could technically say the other girl got "raped" (in game term) to death by this girl too if we wanted.
She DESERVED to be raped. (even tho it's not rape)

Remember the Okarin Punch talk started by that one guy? Embarrassing times that was. Some people just dont look at the whole picture and the context and are just happy drumming up outrage to make themselve feel better, trying to enforce the idea that women in fiction are untouchable creatures and are off-limits.

I don't see how that is the case? Besides there are plenty of shounen series that avoid that theme without the lead being OP (instead they're an Experienced Protagonist) in the last few years. This season alone (without counting past seasons) has atleast 2 adaptations that fit that criteria.

Well, the author has stated his goal is to cast the main cast as villian from the reader's perspecitive, and the world is one where stregnth/might makes right.

All well and good, but my point is Overlord is far from the only story to buck the classical shounen structure. Frankly Ainz isn't an evil character anyway (everyone in Nazarick aside), at least as far as the what the adaptation portrayed. Amoral, fairly opportunistic, jerkass perhaps, but not a mustache twirler. Nor is he that way by choice, that is just how he's come into this world after lowing most of his humanity. He's an bon fide Anti-hero.

"Overlord" is honest advertising

It's kinda like an Overlord from Disgaea. They may have endearing traits, but at their core, they are a demon lord.

Always treat with caution, and never assume they are a good person.

Villains having good or admirable traits isn't unusual at all. It's whether they're out to actively out to harm others for their own gain that makes them actual villains. Otherwise he or she is it's just a Gray character. That is typically what a Anti-hero is.

Momo is primary focused on surviving, learning about the world, and finding his guildmate and other real player.

Most of the guardians, are focused on taking over the world for him, and if they have to kill everyone else in the world, that's fine by them, because they were created as evil beings.

Rather than Anti-Hero, I'd be more inclined to call Ainz an Anti-Villain.

99% of the Nazarick NPCs are clearly just pure villains though xD.
