Lovecraftian mythos monsters.
The baby goats of Shub-Niggurath "The Black Goat of the Woods with a Thousand Young".
To briefly explain what the spell is that Ains used, he summoned a creature from the Lovecraft universe, the outer god Shub-Niggurath, the goat with the thousand young 😂
Previous replies are correct, you can find some artistic depictions of how they may look based on Lovecraft writings, IMHO Overlord nailed it.
I don't know if you're still taking suggections but if you're looking for a lighter toned anime you shloud check out "bofuri" (it's an abreviation as the show's name is very long). The story revolve around a teenage girl and her best friend playing a VRMMORPG (they basicaly enter the game world) so they fight monster, players and explores (it's mainly funny but the fights aren't bad ).
I love baby goats❤❤❤❤
quick reminder that the kingdoms army was 240k people and they run in fear when Ainz started casting, meanwhile the lizardman stood there ground when Ainz casted a different spell but with the same visual casting effect. Lizardman true gigachads
The lizardmen literally had nowhere to go, they even requested a surrender beforehand as well and got refused by an angry ainz. So no matter what they were screwed from the get-go.
Did you really watch it? The lizards was just ignorant, they had no idea what that was.
Because of the weather the Lizard men already knew that at least tier 6 was casted and when he turned all the water into ice they didn't know what he did but could only image super powerful magic beyond their comprehension.
The humans here also didn't know what he was doing but could see that it was something incredible powerful since he was using super tier magic which they could never understand or even know - since the limits for humans are tier 6.
@@akuou3848 Like the kingdom knew what that was ?
@@subham.biswas So for humans i believe the max someone has achived is like level 6 or 7, normally you can tell its a normal spell because of the magic circle... They knew that those magic circles overlaping and being of that size that the magic they were about to face was something completely out of what they know.
"It's funny how Ainz as an undead is the least dead thing in this place" Amazingly acurate quote
yeah, such a good quote.
3:45
If anyone is wondering
🫡
Love the casual misunderstanding of:
"Are you a demon?"
"No I am an undead."
From Ainz's perspective he was just correcting a categorization error on Nimble's part, however from his point of view the exchange was:
"So many killed, are you a demon(existence that naturally wishes to torment mortals)?"
"No I am an undead(existence that naturally wishes extiguish mortal lives)."
Empire: Whoa, Ains, that was a really powerful spell!
Ains: Spell? That was just part of the casting cost...
Ains: Spell? That was just the material components getting used up.
*I should thank them for dying* so i got enough materials
😂
Fun fact, the knight gets so scared when Ainz says that he is an undead and not a demon because demons kill for fun but they can get tired, however the undead are only moved by their hatred of life and never get tired, So an undead will never stop killing until it kills all the life around it.
but of course Ainz just meant like: "Dude what? im not a demon im an undead.. like, pretty different races my guy." 😭
@@Jr837_ and on how the knight interpreted differently from what Ainz said is hilarious. Literally the Baharuth Empire and their views of Ainz while Ainz genuinely honors the alliance and sincerely wants to be friends with Jircniv in a nutshell
See this is what I was thinking when Luke was talking about the hypothetical skeleton mother. Isn't Ainz fairly chill for an undead overlord? If I understand the lore right, actual overlords are pretty much pure evil and just kill the ever-loving bejesus out of everything, nevermind this trying to looking after a motley assortment of demons, vampires, elves, and one very memorable succubus, trying to make alliances with human kingdoms, or forbidding your subordinates from killing and torturing innocent people purely for fun.
@@bemusedbandersnatch2069 yep ur 100% right. Undead overlords are the last thing id ever fuk with
😳
Luke saying Ainz is like a kid killing ants and needs a Mom to tell him to stop...
Luke, Ainz IS the Mom telling and holding back all the monsters of Nazarick of wrecking havoc in the new world lol
True. In the "what if" scenario of Ainz not coming with the rest of Nazarick they wiped out 3 countries in a few weeks or something. I forget the exact time span if it was written.
Closest to a timeframe I found fast was a quote from the book:
"Well, it's true that nations being destroyed isn't exactly uncommon, but for three to go down at once... ".
😂
@@Nemesis653 It's not a big spoiler for the Extra Volume, but if Lukes ends up reading it, I hope he'll forget that information. 😅
@@Nemesis653 sauce link ?
You know the really sad thing is that Ainz lost his mother when he was really young around 12. She died due to overworking herself, he found her dead while she was making his favourite food for him. Btw food was rare in ainz's original world, most people ate nutritional paste that was disgusting only the ultra rich could afford real food. It's never talked about in the anime but ainz comes from a messed up pollution filled world controlled by mega corporations.
You mean our near future?
@@fs127 Pretty much

Maybe it was censored in the anime but in the novel after all the plat plat plat I expected to see a sea of blood, since the soldiers being crushed by the dark shoots would be as if they were crushed by a hydraulic press, causing them to be " "squeezed" since the battle takes place on a hard ground and organs and blood should be scattered.
The reason Marquis Raeven was standing still in that shot was becouse his horse was so afraid it couldn't even move. The priest from the former adventurers team had to cast anti-fear spell on it.
The Dark Young (the tentacle thing Ainz summoned) are level 95 monsters that due to the sound of goats they are making, were called "Goats" by the people of the New World. No need to say that when you hear that army of 240,000 was defeated by "Goats" no one would believe it. Also, in the book, there is a whole page dedicated to single word after these Goats were summoned, that word is Splat.
About Ainz's mother... That hurts man. When Ainz was still a child in our world, his mother worked herself to death. After work she came home to make him a birthday cake and died while doing it. Ainz literarlly found his mother dead on his birthday.
just a slight correction, we know that the goats are over level 90, although we don't know how much, they could be level 91 or level 99, or level 95, but we just don't know
Did not know about her dying on his birthday, but given how bleak the world he comes from is, it does not surprise me. So many isekai protags must have come from that world...
And it was because it was a highly trained horse - so in the face of fear it did what it was trained to do - stand its ground while the horses of other soldiers just ran
Even Marquis thought to himself how ironic the situation is
If they are level 95, and there are 5 of them, do you think they could defeat Platinum Dragon Lord on their own, who Pandora's Actor said is around level 95?
@@tkhotatia1163 Pandora said that about the armor, and was probably a little wrong in that aspect, as albedo and shalltear gave other level estimates, but I guess the pdl armor could be around the same level as the dark young, although in a 1v1 pdl armor would win, mostly because the only notable thing about the dark young was their defense stars, mostly because they don't have any skills whatsoever, while pdls armor can use wild magic, but a 5v1, I have to give it to the dark young
Now if we are talking about pdl real body, then pdl would win, I say this mostly because in the volume extra, cure elim los malvar, was able to defeat them with the use high level wild magic, and pdl is said to be the strongest dragon lord, implying that he's stronger than cure elim, so I'm guessing pdl would win that one
when the goatlings collide with the kingdoms army, the author decided to describe that scene with just "splat" over and over for several sentences. hence....
Yep that's why this battle is referred to as "Splat!"
For several pages.
The anime criminally underplays just how strong Gazef is. In his equipment, he gets dexterity buffs, +5 levels, unlimited stamina, health regen, increased focus (meaning he can use additional martial arts), increased speed, and not to mention Razor's Edge. Now, is he a match for Ainz? I guess you'll have to wait and see...
Edited to add: The novels make a point of stating that if Gazef had this equipment, he would have won the battle at Carne village
he wouldnt been able to defeat the dominion authority. that thing would have been too high for him. the slane Theocracy used those to defeat 'demon lords' in the past with those.
its just a guess on my end, but the DA should range somehwere around lv60, and would probably be able to defeat most of the pleiades too.
Gazef could have won against all the casters. He probably would have been able to beat Nigun before he summoned DA.
The Pleiades range from 51-68, I think. But they have gear to make them stronger. Entoma or Cz would probably lose, but the others have a decent chance.
@@snowman9631 of all the Pleiades, CZ specifically would be one of the few to win, actually....
she has fairly high magical def and the highest physical attack power, cuz long range sniper, that also should make her fairly strong in melee too.... she seems to be a bit of a glass cannon tho
ranks in assassin, stalker, sniper and gunner
the scarf is apparently a legendary item, with stealth and ambush related spells.
@GunRunner106 it's been to long since I ever looked at their stats. I just remember some being decently strong
@@GunRunner106 Even with all of the Kingdom's treasures, Gazef's level only hits like 40+ at most. The Pleiades clears Gazef pretty easily.

Jircniv:-Eh Ainz will probably kill 3-4k in one spell
Ainz:-Thats disrespectful.
Proceeds to takedown 70k
With the spells activation
now that you say that, i wonder what Tier of magic would be needed to take out 3k people...
@@Jr837_ Fireball is a 3rd tier spell and it can probably kill maybe 10-20 closely packed soldiers. 6th tier magic would be control weather, which I would speculate a spell of that scale could possibly do enough damage if it caused hail or stormy weather (including lightning). Twin Maximise Magic Chain Dragon Lightning is 7th tier magic that Narberal Gamma used against Khajit and his two Skeletal Dragons. If you pack people in a row, I think it should be able to kill 3-4K people.
All in all, there is a huge disparity in destructive power of spells. Ainz' spell Black Hole from the first season is speculated to be anywhere from 8th tier to 10th tier, but it hasn't been confirmed. Since Ainz specialises in instant death magic, I wouldn't be surprised for it to be a single target attack. Though for a black hole, it would do a lot more damage if he casts it in the middle of an army and it annihilated the entire thing.
As the his knight said not even the 13 hero's could do that meaning the strongest anyone in there world has seen can only kill less then 3k people
@@stefanootes9526 The ice spell he used to freeze the lizardman's lake was 8th tier I believe and that could have deep chilled an army most likely.
Shub-niggurath is a lovecraftian goat-related fertility goddess
She is described as having lots of tentacles and mouths (apparently that is how eldritch goats are) and spawning and reabsorbing hundreds of babies all the time
These are supposed to be some of her babies
The context of Nimble's question at 20:55 is this:
"Are you a demon?!" = "Are you one of these beings who enjoy killing and tormenting others for pleasure?"
"Do not be mistaken. I am an undead!" = "No, I am one of these who despise the living for no reason in particular." (Undead are thought to be like that, though Ainz is different. Still, that's how the guy interpreted it.)
Also, your comment in 26:40 is very accurate: he literally sees everyone as ants (and they indeed are like that to him), and he does need a mom to tell him to not do that. Unfortunately, his "mom" (comrades) aren't around, and everyone around him praises him for every single thing he does, including frying ants with a magnifier, and even incentives that behavior, so... not happening, I guess.
"Are you a demon!?" = "Is your race 'demon'?"
"Do not be mistaken, I am an undead!" = "Bro, have you seen a demon and a undead before? theres a big difference there."
and thats how Ainz interpreted it! lmao
13:24 "I thought you guys were retreating."
They're in shock. That's how hard the reality of a super-tier spell is to people who thought that seventh-tier was already a dissuasive force against several countries.
Remember how Jircniv was concerned that Fluder betrayed them because dismissing him outright would let other countries think they would suddenly have a chance at invading his empire?
Fluder was the equivalent of nuclear dissuasion. And now they see something that surpasses him by several orders of magnitude.
Then again, it has only begun.
In the emperor's defence, Momonga and the Nazarick NPCs are so far off the known scale of power in the new world that he couldn't possibly fathom their power at this point when they've barely shown anything.
Like, imagine you're a warrior in ancient mediterranean history sometime around like republic of Rome or the greek city states fighting against the persians: the biggest, most scary thing you've ever seen on the battlefield are chariots or war elephants. So you prepare countertactics, you think you got an idea of what's coming and how you can deal with it ... until suddenly an armoured division of modern main battle tanks (M1 Abrams, Leclerc, Challenger 2, Leopard 2, K2, Type 10, Merkava, T-90, take your pick) roll over the hills. That's Ainz Ool Gown!
Excellent analogy. Ignorance ≠ stupidity
Yeah, one the most powerful magic casters in the new world was Fluder and even he was an extraordinary Mage. So of course, every Ruler is comparing the best magic to him or maybe Rigrit. But the magic of Yggdrasil players is on such an overpowered level, that they even can take on Dragon Lords.
Then after parading the tanks the modern army drops a nuke.
And the tanks don't even engage, instead their commander fires a bloody tactical nuclear warhead as an opener, then rolls in the kind of thing that only exists as an idea in todays military world.
@@carljohan9265 Then after the explosion the commander laughs and says that's not even the worst part, let the radiation poisoning begin.
Nimble: What fantastic magic this was!
Ainz: That was just the casting animation
The one thing this episode doesn't show because of the use of CG for the Army is that most of the 240k soldiers are a conscription army made out of farmers, labourers and townsfolk armed with hoes, pitchforks or hand me down weapons and armour. It's not a standing Army like the Empire has. So this battle is stripping away the ordinary working folk of the kingdom.
When theyre actually gathered theyre given spears and cheap armor, they dont just go with farm equipment
@-Apoptos- it's been a while since I read this chapter, so you may be right. I thought because the Army was larger than usual they didn't have enough to go around.
yeah the numbers are pretty different, but in terms of power they are a bit matched (the Empire with mages and actual armor still have a big advantage tho...)
@@Jr837_ Not just mages, but a very large core of professional soldiers, rather than draftees.
@-Apoptos- historically and logisticly that's an insane amount of armor to just have for a kingdom there size
but I don't remember if the LN was accurate or not
There is one big problem with the kingdom. They are generally very uneducated and behind in terms of magic. They do not have any institutes or schools where they study/teach it. Therefore, no one in the kingdom’s army really understood WHAT Ainz was casting. However...the magic that Ainz used was unlike anything they had ever seen...magic from legends. Marquis Raven is smart and educated enough to realize this and order a retreat. However, communication in such a large army is slow, so one of the flanks went on the attack and Ainz chose them as a target. And of course... Ainz's magic left everyone in shock... so the retreat was, to put it mildly... belated.
As for the spell itself. This is literally a chant used by cultists from Lovecraft's to summon outer gods. Shub-Niggurath the black goat of the forests, with a thousand young. What Ainz summoned are literally the “children” of this ancient god, real Eldritch abominations. 3D graphics do not fully convey the horror that these creatures must inspire, just looking at them should drive mere mortals insane. In the gaming sense, these level 90 monsters, without special abilities, but with high health and defense, were usually summoned to be used as a meat shield. In the New World however... they are walking disasters. Again, the carnage they caused...this episode doesn't do it justice. I recommend looking for fan art of these creatures, they are much more terrifying when not in the form of 3D models.
in the light novels 2 entire pages were filled with the word SPLAT, that's all we needed to understand what happened on the field of ba\ massacre
"Someone need to tell Ainz what 'cute' means"
Luke, he is one of the creators of The Great Tomb of Nazarick, y'know, the most terrifying place ever? the same guys who put maid outfit on deranged monsters? of course my bro Ainz has a... interesting idea of what "cute" is 😭
He should count himself lucky that Ulbert wasn't the one who got Isekai-d instead of Momonga.
@@animeworld5847 GASP if Ainz considers the Dark Young cute, i wonder what he thinks about Ulbert's avatar... :0
@@Jr837_ considering his sense of taste (Pandora's actor), he would find him badass I guess?
The uniform thing and all
When I watched this episode for the first time I thought when Ainz lifted his arms and said applaud it was a power flex like that was part of the plan but no it was because he was genuinely happy with the result and thought the others would be happy too not knowing they were actually terrified 😅
In the novel, Ainz showed up with an army of the undead, the adventurers recognized some of his undead (specifically Soul Eaters, undead horses that eat souls and grow stronger) as ones that are likely to take on the entire army with just 2 or 3, Ainz had hundreds, and that's why they were about to flee in defeat. The super-tier spell was just icing on top.
The amount of people who Ainz killed at the Katze Plains was 183,198... Over 70k were killed by his spell and the remaining 113 thousand were stomped to death by the Dark Young. Their army was 260k and by the end was reduced to leas than 80k... Ah if only they had surrendered E-Ranel willingly two episodes ago this all could've been avoided 😅😅 then again a lot of those people in the throne room that day died here so they reapt what they sowed.
13:30 I allways see people saying "why are they still standing there?" but have you ever heard the term frozen with fear?
Just imagine seeing 70000 people die and get swallowed up by some dark goo turning into Goat Abominations lol
The age old dilemma between getting a head start running as fast as you can and pausing a minute to see exactly what your doom looks like.
Seeing 70000 die instantly..... must be similar to public speaking. 😂
@@jenjenhocho3188 i feel that 😂
It's important to point out, those baby goats aren't even using attacks or skills or anything, they are simply walking
normally the kingdom, when it goes to war, puts up a simple fence wall around the army, to make clear where the boarder of the army is, protect from flanking/cavalary etc (the whole empire army is usually full on only cavalry soldiers 30~60k, depending how many they fielded any given year) the army this time was several times bigger then what they ever fielded before, which made it impracticable for them to do the fence perimeter, so they just simply used thin lines of spearman for that to make boarders around their camps, with tighly packed infantry troops in the center. very tightly packed formations.
only a few elite troops were cavalry.
the empire has a heavily fortified castrum in the katzer plaines from which they operated from - a roman style fort - a very big one (able to house all those 60k soldiers with still way room to spare for more), for which the kingdom had no idea how to deal with with their peasant army.
the kingdoms army's formation was so tightly packed that they were completely unable to move at all and were 100% setup for a defensive war, because thats how it always turned out in the previous "wars".
they set up camp, defensively. the empire would parade their troops around in front of em and then fuck off and waste a lot of time for the kingdom. there would be a few flanking battles happen - small shit, and then everyone would just leave, hardly anyone ever died in those fights.
was just all about wasting time for the kingdom, to make em loos out on their harvest time and such - the empire was slowly starving the kingdom to death.
the goat babies are straight 1:1 from lovecraft, if it wasnt obvious.
they are based on the "thousand Young Ones" of the Shub-Niggurath.
Shub-Niggurath is often associated with the epithet "The Black Goat of the Woods with a Thousand Young", hence why they make goat noises and ainz refs to them as such, game devs decided they would behave like goatlings. mhm. probably...
in yggdrasile they are lv90 monsters. and while they dun rly have any unique specialities to them - except for the fact that they have super high resistances to basically everything. they are massive tanks for a spell caster, essentially.
(also its not ainz's most powerful spell)
also only temporary summons.
The reason why ainz really want gazeff so bad is not because of his loyalty or power, it because ainz already have so many loyal and powerful subordinate,, what ainz want is his personality which is genuinely kind and brave, ainz get amazed by how this person sacrificing himself to protect the people on that village even if its cost his life.
He see gazef like a real hero, who put his life on the line to protect the weak,, he has so much respect for that kind of act.. after all, ainz is also a human inside, which most human naturaly get touching with kind of that bravery act.
(disclaimer: this is just my interpretation)
just a tiny clarification: Ainz didnt really want Gazef to work for him per say, the offer to change sides was more of to protect Gazef from all dangers that Nazarick or other nations (as seen previously) could delt to him. Ainz likes Gazef, and he didnt want to see him die to petty Noble quarrels. the main reason Gazef almost died in S1 is because he did not have any of the Kingdom's national treasures aka enchanted armor and sword, and the reason he didnt have them on was because the nobles didnt like him (a commoner) using it or something along those lines
Ohhh ok that makes sense.
Yeah, Shub-Nuggurath is one of Lovecraft's nightmare children and one of the Great Old Ones. Also known as "The Black Goat of the Woods with a Thousand Young."
Her Young are basically just extensions of herself that she reabsorbs when they return.
To add to the creepy factor Overlord make the Young bleat like goats!
In the LN, the pages of their rampage just *SPLAT*. Over and over, again.
BTW, The War Between the Baharuth Empire and Re-Estize Kingdom is a war of attrition. Mostly Baharuth wants to economically ruin Re-Estize by killing their farmer population, which most of their conscripted forces were.
iirc its 3 pages of just Splat xD
Not Great Old Ones but Outer Gods, and higher ranked one at that. Outer Gods are infinitely more powerful than Great Old Ones just like how Great Old Ones are infinitely more powerful than normal mortals.
time for answering questions as the overlord shows the world what he can do.
4:28 The Kindom’s Army of 240,000 is made mostly of peasant Levies with minimal training, while the Empire of Baharuth’s smaller army of 60,000 is made of trained knights whose only job is to fight. This is why the Empire’s strategy up till now has been to simply threaten invasion and engage in some skirmishes every year. Forcing the kingdom to come to defend themselves with a large force of peasant soldiers, means fewer workers in the farms and villages and that will weaken the Kingdom over time without the empire having to do much, but Ainz has changed that calculation.
6:45 yes both the king and his faction thought they were protecting the life of the prince by sending him on the errand to Carne village… but it didn’t exactly turn out that way did it.
8:10 yeah the CGI here may be a bit clunky, but it is just genuinely very hard to animate thousands upon thousands of characters at once in any scene. Its one of the things that is just very hard to do in animated form and Overlord does it about as well as any show out there.
10:12 The adventurers seemed to be able to sense something, but the preparation of super-tier magic seemed to have been enough to alert Gazef and Raven that they were facing something beyond their worst expectations. (even if they didn’t fully understand it)
11:00 The expression of the empire guy looks fairly neutral to me here, though he definitely freaks out later, and could have simply been bracing himself for witnessing a large loss of life
11:12 orders take some time to get around an army that big and the commander on the left was particularly aggressive
13:30 They are definitely in shock right now
14:40 well they do go “bahh” like goats/ sheep that’s kind of cute right? As long you ignore that they are monstrosities…
25:40 yes he is
35:00 Gazef actually has a surprisingly good read on Ainz’s psychology to challenge him to a duel like this
During Ainz's entrance there was suppose to be soul eaters alongside the death knights which are those flaming skeleton horses. Raeven and the adventures commented how just one of them was enough to slaughter an entire village. Given that it was one look at their armor that queued them to signal the retreat. So them feeling enough despair to run away happened before Ainz even started casting the spell
You know that guy at the front left of the army; he was 2 days away from retirement. And the guy next to him asked his girlfriend to marry him, and said they'll marry when he came back. And the guy next to him is about to have a baby. I'm running out of deathflag tropes, but the guy next to that guy had one of those too.
XD
Luke: Ainz it's like a kid in a sandbox with a magnifying glass killing ants
I got bad news for you Luke, if he had a magnifying glass he would be killing one by one, He has a Flamethrower
The mere presence of Ainz causes fear same with the death knights you can image with Ainz there and the death knights you can literally taste the fear in the air.
not really. unlike the DKs, Ainz uses his ring(s?) to conceal his power, be it from magic or anything else (as seen with Arche and Flooder). People fear Ainz, but mostly because of what know and dont know about him. Death Knights tho? yeah if someone manages to resist running away from them then my guy, they are super brave! if the aura of undeath around them wasnt enough, they even have a super deadly murderous intent around them (as described by Neia)
@@Jr837_ He also toggled off his Despair Aura which supposed to be continuously active and give people dread.
9:54 Because they seeing something ridiculous and out of their comprehension, the visual of how super tier magic casted. And that's what they (Marquees Reaven and Gazef) terrified about. Usually the more you know the more cautious you are.
25:59 it surprises me you figure it out quickly 👏
Gazef was pretty much well known in this world, and Ainz will be very happy to have him as one of the talented Warrior by his side, so maybe he can train those lizardman, or Hamusuke or even Death Knight. You know that Ainz already had talented local wizard by his side (Pluder Paradyne). Ainz personality was "Collector" that's also a good reason why he's so disappointed when Gazef refuse his offer.
A little note to Luke about how the word duel works in real life (medieval time) and here - 1 vs 1 combat with set of rules and conditions set and agreed to by both sides. So basically each side can set the conditions and "prizes" and if both sides agree upon those, duel starts.
For example: fight to the death or non-lethal duel, reward for the winner, some conditions for 2nd party do to in order for 1st party to agree to a duel, etc.
Long story short, duel is a more aggressive but civilized type of negotiations, where you can negotiate the conditions in your favor...
"Thousands? That's impossible..."
Us Watching: Bruh, those are rookie numbers.
Ainz has offered Gazef the biggest reward possible - a chance to join Nazarik. Turning down such an offer is a major affront that can only be paid in life.
Also this is gigantic Lovecraft reference and I love it.
Of course Gazeff knows he has no way to win against Ainz, he knows he owes his life to both the King and to Ainz, he can't accept for that would betray the debt he has with the king, his only option is to throw his life away at the second person who he's indebted to, the only way to not betray neither of his benefactors
Gazeff is a moron who gives empty ideals higher importance than reality. He would've served his King and his Kingdom best by accepting Ainz's offer. Throwing away his life her accomplishes nothing except giving himself momentary satisfaction, while accepting Ainz's offer saves everyone, not just now but also in the future.
@@thewhyzer There is absolutely no guarantee that him joining Nazarick saves ANYONE, do you really think Gazeff's opinion would EVER trump over demi's, albedo's or any of the guardians?
All Gazeff accomplish by accepting is making the war even more painful for the Kingdom, they lost over 200K people, the first prince is dead/MIA and now the chief warrior who was a commoner "betrayed" their nation, the already weak royal faction would have suffered heavily against the noble faction who could easily blame the king for the war and their hatred towards commoners would be given a justifiable reason. Gazeff switch sides would only spark to a civil war from within the kingdom.
Him dying at Ainz hands is the only way he can be respectful to Ainz for the debt he has to him while also mantaining the Royal faction's pride and honoring king Ramposa.
"Earthquake farm?" Now I'm just imagining a farmer planting earthquakes in his field. XD
There was a full page and all it said was Splat. Splat. Splat. Splat. Splat
Bruh, those 70,000 deaths were just the material component cost for the summoning. The TRUE massacre doesn't start until they're summoned. 😈
Jircniv: He could probably kill 3-4 thousand in one spell
Ainz: Hold my beer
Idk about you but all my favorite characters are safe cause they're the ones doing the killing 😂
THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKIN' ABOUT! THAT'S WHY HE'S THE GOAT! THE GOAT!!!!
The dark young arent actually that large. Theyre only 10 meters tall (not counting the tentacles) and I highly suggest looking at the dark youngs ovelord wiki page to see the light novel illustration of them
“SPLAT SPLAT SPLAT”
The light novel is infamous For an entire page with this. It’s just crazy
Splat Splat......................................................... Splat
Baby goats are totes adorbs
The light novel had an entire page consisting of the word SPLAT repeated hundreds of times to cover the period where the baby goats where playing with the kingdom's soldiers.
3:35 "Wow, that's a huge field of dead people."
Not yet. Right now, they're just pre-dead.
Now, you've seen the power of the *_SPLAT_* spell. It makes armies go splat. For context, in the light novel, when Ains let the baby goats loose on the army, there were entire pages of nothing but *_SPLAT_* written on them. Also, those goats were the children of Shub-Niggurath, an Other God from the Cthulhu mythos, which is why he prefaced her name with "Ia!" during the casting.
I recently found your channel and I can say that you are one of the people who adds more enjoyment to the content you watch.
I found you by re-checking Overlord and seeing your reaction videos.
Overlord holds a special meaning for me. Especially this episode. Because it greatly altered the course of my life.
Funny how a seemingly random novel series can do for someone. When I first watched Overlord If was just airing and there was no season 2 or 3 chance to air at all since it was made by an infamous studio called Madhoue who knows with not making sequels. This series being my first series with a non-bullshit character who is also self-oriented was very refreshing among many shounen series I really started to hate.
And I heard a spoiler about this episode (from novel readers) where Ainz killed close to 200k people. It made my fears go away about Ainz becoming a generic character later on. I also really wanted to read and see it for myself. But there was a problem of me not knowing anywhere near enough English to read it. But my passion for seeing the content led me to force myself - a person who doesn't read books at all - to read a novel series in a language that I can't read.
Although It was very hard at the beginning and took me a few months, later when I reached the 9th book which includes this episode I read the whole book in a day, which I needed to read 20+ hours to finish at my pace at the time.
By the end of the series, I was good enough to look and search for even more novels and web novels since I could read and the content was so much better in the web novels no censor, no skips, and no budget for animation hence cutting even more content.
Instead of studying medicine or law like my parents wanted to force me (Classic Asian parent logic I guess), I read more and more books and got into self-improvement. Developed many skills thanks to learning English and all the content on the internet. Got into college in a field I wanted. It was the beginning step of a great journey for me.
When you said that you wanted to maybe read the novel later on a few episodes ago, I thought about my journey with the novels. I believe If you were to give it a chance even if you normally don't like to read books, odds are you are going to like it. Compared to novel anime quality is way lover. Anime is more like the speedrun of the novel. Just skips many things and details and gives a watered-down experience. Especially seasons 3 and 4 are like that. Season 4 is even cut in the middle. They cut the longest 2 books to make a movie. These are the books I liked the most after book along with books 9 and 10.
You might even make a UA-cam series after you read the books to share your experience like reviews which I would like to see your take on it. I wish you a great day :)
The skill 'Sarcasm' has leveled up. +1
He's request a duel to buy time. Sacrifice himself knowing that Ain will stop everythings else while doing it.. so everyone else can escape.
And yes at this point with every emotion of him being push away by that green light he's not his old self anymore in a sense.
every empire knight is atleast lvl 16, that makes them way way stronger than average soldiers. But in the end.... we all know with ainz they dont need an army on their side😂
Fun fact: Some of the knights running when the goats started coming at them died because they got trampled to death. So even though those soldiers didn't do jack shit other than getting scared they still had casualties😅
Shub-Niggurath is a goddess in Lovecraft novels. The goat of the dark forest, mother of a thousand young. And her "children" is what Ains summoned there.
Nimble needs a fking medal for bravery !
About the difference in number. The Empire uses a professional army. They may be only 60k, but all of them are professional soldiers, trained and well equipped. The Kingdom uses levies. The 240k are mostly farmers with little to no training. Many of them would only have farming tools as weapons, the Kingdom can't even equip them all.
So even without Ainz, the Kingdom wouldn't really hold much of an advantage.
The true GOAT of the show is finally revealed 🤣
God the way the ending scene merges into the ending song, after all this time, still goes hard af
its like how when the workers fought Ainz, only arche knew how strong he really was but the others had a feeling, now amplify that with Ainz actually casting big magic and even the normal people drafted for the army likely had their hair standing on end lol
09:58 "I'm guessing they can sense the magic."
They can't really, but the casting of the spell itself already makes such a grand display that they know something is off.
You can vaguely estimate the strength of a spell by the size of the magic circle created during the casting.
And this surpasses everything they've seen before by a lot.
For reference, they directly know of magic up to seventh tier (Fluder Paradine), and know that in theory it can go to tenth-tier.
Ainz is going to use super-tier here, which a huge step above tenth-tier.
This is like people who know explosives like TNT watching a nuke go off for the first time.
21:05 - It was stated before, that Undead are driver by the hatred towards everything that is alive, and since they're undead, they won't be tired of exhausted. So an undead in the world of Overlord is a "machine" hating everything that is alive, is driver by pure hatred and desire to kill with no need to rest. Now imagine all of that with the power that Momonga has. LOL. Regular people are DOOMED.
The goat concept comes from Lovecraftian mythos
"The Black Goat of the Woods with a Thousand Young" is Shub-Niggurath and the monsters Ainz summons are 5 of her thousand young. "Her Baby goats"
You made a good point that some of us thought of. If someone abandons their old master for the new one even for a good reason, their loyalty might be worth questioning. However, i personally think that Ainz does not need to worry about Gazef's loyalty. He is confident that Gazef cannot do shit to him and Nazarick. Ainz wants Gazef simply because he likes and respects Gazef. He is a collector, after all. Like how he was a little disappointed when he could not bring back the item that was used to control Nphirea, his collector self disliked that.
20:04 in light novel it is mentioned that big amount of people from the army of empire died being stomped to death when they started to run there.
"They are barring like a Goat" is a bar!!
06:40 "To safety."
Exactly. Few places are as safe as Carne village.
Defended by an army of thousands of highly trained goblins. And a sadistic maid.
Unless you make the mistake of attacking it. Prince whatshisface surely wouldn't be rash enough to do just that. Totally safe.
Hey, nice reaction once again. I'll keep this comment rather short. I've got an headache and I don't feel like writing too much, so I'll only adress the important questions/part.
1- When they started talking about fleeing, they weren't only acting on feelings. They were able to see the magic circles, and all of them knew those weren't your basic rank 5 spell, the magic circles were way too big and way too complicated. Most people can't see mana with their eyes, but the magic circles are visible themselves.
2- The reason so many people weren't retreating is extremely simple : insubordination. That noble wanted to make a name for himself so, without listening to anything, he gave the signal to charge and f the general's orders. Oh, and by the way, he never really received orders, he didn't wait for them, which is even worse than going against them. He got what he deserved.
3- I'm sorry to contradict you, but those baby goats are actually little. They are baby after all. The adults are at least 5 time that size. Well, according to the lore, they weren't seen in the game after all. But they are baby nonetheless, and baby are small.
4- I think that scene was way more powerful in the light novel. If I remember correctly, that massacre was written on 6 pages. I would love to look it up to make sure, but my light novels are at my family's house since I'm kind of short on space, so I'll have to explain it from memory. The funny thing is, in 6 pages, there weren't a lot of words written. Well, that's not true... There weren't a big amount of different words written. There was only one. One words written again and again and again and again. "Splat". It sound stupid, but that simple word written hundreds of times on 6 pages was extremely powerful. It illustrated perfectly how ridiculusly overwhelming that spell was. And if it was written normaly, it would have become rather boring, but no, the author had fun with it. It made illustrations in a way. A square of "splat" was a squadron of soldiers trampled like ants, a line on the side was a baby goat running on fleeing soldiers, things like that over and over again. You could feel the despair and the hopelessness of the situation. There is only one other medium that made me feel something as strongly as the Light Novel here, it was one scene in the manwa Solo Leveling. A scene the anime adapted well, but couldn't give it justice at all because the medium couldn't permit it.
5- Well... Ainz's mother died when he was pretty young. She worked herself to death to feed them. Sp no, there is no mother to stop him.
Short? Did you learn sarcasm from Luke? 😂
@@jenjenhocho3188 You can find my comments in the last videos on this series and you'll understand what I meant. This comment is really on the short side compared to what I usualy wrote.
Each of those adorable lambs are around level 90, which is apocalyptic in the new world (...for reference, Gazef is around level 30).
Despite appearances they're not actually evil (having a karma value of zero).
4:30
To add some context. The Empire is 60,000 of trained profesional military. The kingdom is 240,000 of a mix of knigths, nobles and levied peasants.
8:33
Ah, then I petition for Mob Psycho 100. The animation is based ln the subpar drawings on the manga, but the animators decided to go wacky with it. Also, while the manga had subpar drawings, the story is a gem.
31:20
The duel request is explained in the part of the book that happens in the final episode. Lets just say, Gazef could not betray the king and expected to die after rejecting the offer. So he cane up with a plan.
Luke predicting already the outcome of next episode 😂
Wait you don't believe on an upset ?? XDD
For normal humans a death knight is like a calamity that can wipe out a city singlehandedly .
12:45 in the dub, he says they’re adorable KIDS-a pun on the fact that he is summoning goats (young goats being called kids).
To me, the best scene in this episode is when those foolish noble that said 'A mere magic caster who do magic trick will not give any changes in the war' died with fears that with that.
Poor to those villages who are conscripted to the army and become dark young feed.
11:59 The reason why Ainz seems so sad is not because people are about to die. Ainz said before that he purposely set himself as a 'bait'. He purposely use a flashy spell with long chant time to see if there's other "Player" just like him on Kingdom side, since if there is one, then they definitely know what Magic Ainz will do and will move and attack to interrupt the spell. But since nobody coming, he can ascertain that there is no player there. He just feel disappointed (or lonely) after that realization.
In some Japanese animations, light novels and games, we can often see things related to the myth of Cthulhu Mythos.However, as far as I know, there are only two works that directly use the names of Outer Gods, Overload and Haiyore Nyaruko-san.
Slime tensei also gets references later on

hahaha this video just deserves all the upvotes man. love the reaction.
How can anyone be afraid of someone who keeps such cute baby goats and lets them play and romp around?
Shub Niggurath. "The Black Goat in the Woods With a Thousand Young." Courtesy of the Cthulhu Mythos. [Remember that Call of Cthulhu is the most popular Tabletalk RPG in Japan, so many people did know what was coming with that announcement. These are straight out of the standard portrayal of them in that game.] Quite adorable little puppies indeed.
In the light novel the excitement that Momonga takes in being able to summon five of them is a definite reversion to the gamer in him (the previous record in Yggsdrasil being three) that isn't as apparent in the anime (again because of the medium we are not as privy to his internal thoughts - we just see what everyone else sees). The actual horror of the summoning being entirely lost on him in the moment (aided by his emotion suppression field). They are just computer sprites to him at this point. One of the problems is he often reverts to reflexively solving problems as if he was still in the game. Also note the point that he made that no player from Yggsdrasil was on the other side since they would never have allowed the construction of the magic circle for the ritual without attempting to interfere. Pure gamer at this point.
11:15 "Why do some people not retreat?"
The kingdom army is not a unified body. There multiple corps each led by a different noble, with various degrees of strategic wisdom.
The one advancing there is led by an overconfident noble who wouldn't believe that there is a reason to fear a single spell caster.
Raeven is way more savvy, but he's an exception here.
I can see the logic in your thinking of not wanting somebody who would be a turncoat.
Here is the one thing you're kind of overlooking.
Even if you chose to betray him there is nothing you could do.
There is no threat you can pose to Ainz.
There is no chance of rebellion.
No one is going to rise up and usurp his throne.
His Dominion is as certain and as cold as death.
He is the ruler of death, he is the absolute Overlord. Gazef was an interesting individual that he would like to have work for him.
Nothing more, nothing less.
There is a small reason and big reason why Ains wants Gazef as a subordinate.
Small reason: Gazef is top when considering the "Martial Skills" which didint exist in the game. They can research it more with his help.
Big reason: He likes Gaszef personality remind him of Touch me. Ains is feeling a lot more lonely that's why his monologue feel so heavy.
Something notable is that the Dark Young in the novel are much smaller but simultaneously much much faster than the show made them appear. Their tentacles are described as whipping around faster than sight turning the soldiers they hit into blood mist. the ground was so muddied with blood that no dry dirt was visible.
This is one of the reasons people aren't a fan of the animation this season. Scenes like this which are decribed in great detail are adapted to be a barren hilly plain with giant creatures that move 'slowly.'
Who the "four that cannot be killed" are hasn't been stated for certain in the novels. The only ones that have been confirmed out of the four are Climb and Gazef, but that still leaves two others.
Based on who is in that army at that time, my personal best guess is that the two others are the King(Ramposa III) and Marquis Raeven.
The king makes sense because of the plans Nazarick has for the kingdom.
As for Raeven, I believe it is because Ainz was informed about some of Demiurge and Albedo's plans regarding him in relation to the kingdom.
Similarly, even though Ainz doesn't know a lot of the plans of Demiurge and Albedo, he was still informed about Renner and some other things.
The reason for that is that even though Demiurge and Albedo believe that Ainz has incredible plans, they are don't assume him to know about specific people and things above which Ainz would have had no information on. They instead expect Ainz to have planned ahead with many variations of plans and expect Ainz to have planned for the possibility of the presence of skilled individuals that can be useful either as allies or pawns in his plans for the kingdom. As such, they report about the people they find that they feel would be what Ainz would be looking for in his great wisdom.
They are convinced that Ainz is a genius, but they don't think that Ainz is omniscient. They think he plans for all eventualities and for the unknown, but they understand that for such plans to go beyond the planning phases, they need information and intelligence reports. They thus give those reposts and information to Ainz.
That is why I believe that the other two beside Climb and Gazef to be the king Ramposa III and marquis Raeven.
i agree with you except for just one thing i dont get. Who is his "target?" i thought it was Gazef
or the king
@@theculturedgentleman3699 What do you mean by "target"?
11:21 "Tribute to Dark Fertility, Ia! Shub-Niggurath!"
I love the Lovecraftian inspiration here.
When you know even the little bit about Lovecraft and derivative works, you know this isn't going to be good for the physical *and* mental health of the people around.
Baby goats are adorable...
9:50 Because it is the anime they don't elaborate much. But basically, both Gazef and Raeven are pretty well-learned/experienced/knowledgeable people. Especially Raeven as he went out of his way to learn magic unlike most nobles who look down on magic in the Kingdom due to various that the LN explains. But because of this very knowledge, he knows that no magic ever produces magical runes in the air like super-tier magic. On top of trust Gazef's judgement and being pretty wise, he knows the unknown is the most terrifying thing.
I love how sometimes he predict things that will happen.. and is so funny ..
9:50 its a biological reaction telling them theyre screwed. Its like suddenly coming across an enemy and seeing its a much higher level than you but its their bodies telling them
"Did you see him? Did you feel it?"
10:55 "Why'd this person seem so sad" Nimble is an Imperial knight. He has some of the honorable and noble qualities one might expect of a knight. He was sad because he was one of a select few on the battlefield somewhat aware of Emperor Jircniv's plans. Like they said at the beginning of the episode, the Empire deliberately asked Ainz to use his "most powerful" magic. This was tactically done to show to the rest of the world the danger he posed. Because there was no way Emperor Jircniv was going to convince the rest of the world that Ainz is dangerous and should form an alliance with him without providing suitable evidence. Ainz attacking at the get-go was that evidence. And then Jircniv hoped a multi-nation allied resistance would naturally rise up and form to fight back without having to directly get his hands dirty and angering Nazarick if they found out. This was the desired outcome.
Normally, before Ainz and Nazarick appeared, these frequent war conflicts between the Empire and the Re-Estize kingdom were very minor. They'd have some fights, waste time (part of Jircniv's strategical slow war of attrition against the kingdom), and the casualties weren't very high on either side. However, for this battle, Jircniv believed that Ainz would manage to kill somewhere around three thousand soldiers. So Nimble was aware that Ainz's opening spell was going to kill lots of people. They wouldn't have a chance. So he was sorry for what are mostly conscripted Re-Estize citizens (regular people who were just farmers or laborers and forced to fight) being sacrificed like lambs to Ainz to hopefully warn the world of how dangerous Ainz is. So there is some regret and pity there.
Of course, Jircniv was very wrong in his estimate and Nimble watched what he also assumed would only be a few thousand dead soldiers become 70k dead in an instant, with thousands more crushed under the feet of some adorable baby goats.
Also, Gazef and Raeven's forces were in the beginning stages of retreat (the limitations of the animation failed to depict this much). Word of the retreat was only just beginning to spread within their particular forces (the soldiers directly under each of them). The other noble factions in the Re-Estize kingdom were not retreating yet because 1) they were too ignorant or proud to see the danger of Ainz's magic to make that call independently on their own. And 2) the message from Raeven (who was in charge of the entire army) to retreat can only move so fast when it must be delivered by mouth by a messenger. Even as Gazef and Raeven were declaring a retreat, everything was happening pretty fast around them. Ainz basically gave them a minute, acting as a decoy, just to see if any Yggdrasil Players like him were among the armies. Since he believes any game Player would have the proper game knowledge to know they had to attack anyone casting high tier magic first as a must for survival. So just as Gazef and Raeven were declaring a retreat, that thick noble on horseback was already charging. Then Ainz released his magic. Everyone died in an instant on that side of the army. Then the Dark Young summoning started. This all happening in about a minute, no more than two minutes.
Gazef, Raeven, and the ex-adventurers had the proper context to know that Ainz's spell was insanely powerful and dangerous. They might not know the true power of the spell, but had the proper worldly and battle experience to gauge what they had previously known as "a strong spell" was a molehill in comparison to the mountainous magic Ainz was casting. They knew anything of that size and complexity was something they could never hope to match. Everyone else on the Re-Estize side just perceived it as "a really strong spell" and somewhat unnerving, but lacked the context of what a strong spell in their world was before Ainz rolled up.
As for the lack of running away in the face of the Dark Young/baby goats formation and then march... To be honest, if you were seeing something so horrible and surreal as a giant black orb growing in the sky, then collapsing to the ground before it absorbs your fallen comrades. Only to then see tentacles and mountain-sized horrors that are beyond your worst nightmares grow from it all, I could understand if a human stops dead in his tracks like a deer in headlights. You are seeing something never seen before, that defies all reason, all while overwhelmed by terror. Lots of soldiers tend to seize up and become paralyzed despite being in the middle of a dangerous battlefield. Thoughts simply refuse to process what is being witnessed and some people are too scared and confused to move. It's kind of like when people stop to stare up at a volcano erupting, or if something crazy like giant alien spacecraft appeared in the sky, or some other grand event never witnessed before, whether personally or in all of history. Even if you have never seen a volcano erupt before, or don't even know what a volcano can do, you still have the instincts to know its bad. You have the impression you are in mortal danger, but you can't help but stop to stare at something incomprehensible and outside the norm. So yeah, it's stupid and everyone should be running, but, in the moment, people are overwhelmed when faced with the unknown and fear.
Funny of you to mention Ainz`s mom, because one of the reasons Ainz is a psychopath is because She literally died in front of him(elementary school age) from overwork while making a birthday cake for him, she just wanted to do something for him since she was always working to get enough money for survival, And after that he had to work like a slave for Omega corporations.
The entire battle seems simplistic but it’s two fold, one is to show the kingdom (and the wider world) what comes from refusing to come to the negotiating table in good faith and to re enforce to the empire this could have been your fate if you hadn’t immediately sought out ainz to beg for mercy.
The empire still didn’t grasp just how universally misunderstood the power gap between the various factions are. Ainz was fully aware of the empires plot to “unify” the benign states against him. So as a show he did exactly what the emperor asked for, ainz released an unforgettable spell that devastated the morale of everyone, whilst acting as a signal to any potential players out in the world.
The funny (or actually f'ed) thing is that those who survived the massacre, whether they are from the Kingdom or Empire, had PTSD and cannot stand the sound of goats anymore as they collapse crying or running away
If I was Gazef, I would agree under one condition. Ainz must no longer harm the kingdom, now that 75% of It's forces are gone.
14:27 that's the moment were he should say "oh my goat"
