(L) Overlord [LN]

[Snowbold]

Boy that premiere at AX was hilarious!

[GreyZone]

I read somewhere that during a Q&A the author stated that the third anime season will only go up until vol. 9...

Does that mean that this is definitly the final anime season for Overlord then?

After all how would you make a season 4 work? You couldn't just adapt vol. 10, 11 and 12, because vol. 12 and 13 are a single arc - you can't just break them apart without breaking immersion.

While I understand the initial confusion, they don't have to follow the 3 volumes a season, it just works best.
For season 4, they could either do 4 volumes cut at 12 OR (I think this would be best) cut when Ainz is defeated by Jaldabaoth in volume 13 to leave a cliffhanger for season 5.

The problem with my option is that there is not enough material for a 5th season at present. It depends how fast the author writes and how long between season 3 and 4.

As for final season? I doubt it, it is a successful series with a huge following. They just wanted to finish at least 3 three seasons cause that is as far as the WN went.

^I hope so.



I just noticed that Overlord sounds very similar to Overload... With all the shady "real life" stuff that has been revealed it wouldn't surprise me if at some point Satoru was supposed to be remotely killed at the time of the server's closure for some reason, by overloading his DMMO gear, but the input was somehow misidentified as "Overlord" instead and a different "script" was activated that sent him to the other world somehow.

Does anyone know how "Overlord" and "Overload" are written in Katakana respectively?


EDIT: I might be on to something. According to google translate the katakana オーバーロード refer to the word "Overload". But it's also the official Japanese title for this light novel series "Overlord".

Coincidence? I THINK NOT!

The way Neia chants

after she saw Ainz fell 'dead', relly makes me wonder if this is another yandere flag.

But I guess not, she don't love him that way... or maybe she does? Her eyes fit it though.

P.S:

Spoiler:

"What? So that is the legendary weaponry crafted from the lost art of runes? Maybe it can actually kill me!!!"

omfg... now i want one too...

With the current on-goings in Carne village in the anime, I realized that Enri and Nphrea probably have the brightest future ahead of them out of all human characters that have been shown so far. Unlike other prominent human side-characters there is no impending doom like in the case of Climb and also no uncertainty like in Neia's case.

Their future is very secure, unless the end of the story will go into a cliché direction where Ainz gets recognised as the "Demon King" and somehow gets killed by a hero or something.

i think Neia's could also be considered secure thank to Demi think she is one of Ainz's useful "chess pieces"

While you are right, I think it's still much safer being a vital resource (and conversation partner) of Ainz than being a human chess-piece under supervision of Demi-urge, because, well... Demi-urge is not someone who is known for treating human subordinates all too well...

My point is that Enri and Nphrea (as well as Nemu) are the only prominent human characters in this series who seem like they might actually have a happy ending.

Neia might be used as a "Messiah" or "Matyr" or something at some point which might lead to her death, if Demi-urge deems it necessary.

Climb... will suffer from a BSOD as soon as he realizes the true nature of his "beloved princess", a bomb just waiting to explode.

Evil Eye caused a grudge to form between herself and a pleiades maid. She might be forgiven somehow... or she might not.

But a human-subordinate who is under Ainz's direct control obviously deserve a much better and more careful treatment than others

We are talking about Demi-urge here though. Being a "matyr" or "messiah" who sacrifices themselves for the (future) religion of the great Ainz Owl Gown is something that Demi-urge would probably deem as the "greatest honor anyone can receive" and he might even feel slightly envious about. "Better treatment" certainly isn't equivalent to "safety" in this case.

Well, to be fair Ainz can just revive her again unless her body gets completely crushed or pulverized and she probably won't die in a situation where she is weak enough to get turned into ashes upon resurrection.

Will Ainz ever be open to anyone?

I don't think Demiurge would dare break one of Ainz' toys without permission. Though of course, him asking permission could sound like "Ainz-sama, should I do the thing you already know I'm thinking about?".

the things is we had seen in several case that as long as a non-Nazarickian recieved Ainz's recognition, he/she will be treated fairly well(or at least without any life-threatening or harmful treatment)

I actually think Climb would recover and be okay with anything Renner does. Think about it, they imply that she had that smile and personality when she met Climb and changed it to suit his tastes. That doesn't mean he didn't love her then too, just that he loves her now like she is.

Evileye, huh? Short of being killed, the only way forward is to let Entoma kill her and take her voice and then resurrect her in order to fulfill an agenda later (depends on plot later on).

I agree with most above about the fates of Neia, Enri, Enfi, and Nemu (Plus Enri now has one of the strongest armies in the New World).

PS What is BSOD?

With anime season 3 episode 3 I am reminded of the fact that Lupusregina Beta's sadistic remarks might probably be one of the greatest red herrings in the entire series. Her comments about anticipating the destruction of the village and then her comment about "Ainz's death" always end up being just outright wrong or misleading half-truths.
