      @@redankennethuy1148 Did you know that the video is about Cocytus? What does volume 9 have to do with it? I commented on the character and how he is not such an honorable warrior if he calmly accepts to exterminate a hungry population. Imagine that a soldier went with a tank to a starving village and started shooting because he was ordered to. It's the same thing.

    I think a reason why Ainz is becoming so reactive is because of habits as a guild leader. Rather than being a central source of power and authority, he's more like a chairman that just hosts meetings where votes are taken. Now that he's grown equally more comfortable and paranoid by securing a place in the new world, he doesn't have to be the initiative taker, he doesn't have to use his best hand (himself) to do much in the world, now he seems to be scheming. He's arguably being the best type of leader, one that fosters growth of his underlings so they aren't dependent on him for decisions, but that goes against the logic of a dictator where he is the one with the power. Maybe his passiveness is an aspect of being Undead, who often hide away from the world and absorb themselves in their pursuits; it could be a result of his own RP biography from Yggdrasil, or maybe neglect/fatigue is a result of his mentions of wanting to let the mask of supreme being slip and just admit he's not as great as the guardians think he is.
    Either way, I'd still like to see more Ainz focused story in the future, and elaboration of whats been established and left hanging rather than adding new characters and plot.

      Don't forget that Ainz was also the only one who wanted to try Nazarik as a dungeon, he even convinced the other guild members to try to beat the dungeon in one go, which was almost unheard of then, and was the one who actually beat the dungeon, making Nazarik a Guild base with a World Item reward. He does have good leadership abilities, but his weakness is lack of confidence.

    Even the Theocracy isn't inclined to help Re-Estize. Back in volume 10's intermission the leadership had nothing but contempt for it seeing it as a failed experiment dragging down the rest of humanity. It's no wonder the Theocracy isn't lifting a finger to try to help -- they aren't complete idiots. Why risk antagonizing a being you know is on par with your GODS just to save a kingdom you already wish you didn't help create? The Theocracy's only actions in this volume are to try to salvage the few good things the Kingdom created -- namely, the talented Adventurers that call it home. While they failed to get the big prizes -- the Adamantite team Blue Roses and Azuth of Red Drop -- they did apparently get a bunch of other Adventurers.

      However, the Theocracy is now bordering the SK. They said before, that the reason they left the Kingdom was because they didn't want to border the Council State, which is led by non-humans. And they were afraid that the people from the Theocracy would be inclined to demand war against the Council State.

    You know Shalltear isn't near as wise as some of the other members of Nazarick, but her idea for soul eater paratroopers or soul eater bombers was a brilliant plan on her part. Now I never took Shalltear as an idiot, but I did not think she would be able to come up with such a good plan.

  • @brianj1371

    The problem is not that Ainz does not stand up to his children, it's he views the NPC's as the children of his guildmates and to a certain extent the NPC's have replaced his guildmates in his heart. Therefore Ainz is always worried they will revolt against him or worse they will leave him. Ainz already went through the loss of his guildmates already and does not wish to repeat that feeling again. I keep thinking about the answer Ainz gave to the prince before he officially started attacking the capitol, he is doing this because he wants to be happy. Demolishing the capitol will serve in making his NPC's happy and at the same time ensure no one will think of attacking his children in the future.
    Btw, I disagree....I think if the King after the massacre with the goats not only gave the city to Ainz but requested to be one of his vassal states, it would have saved his entire country and still allowed them in some way to lead it (probably would have required that the prince and king be killed still but the country would have been saved). It's one reason why I think the Empire was brilliant bending the knee immediately without giving his demented NPCs the chance to torture them into it. When the other side has nuclear bombs in the age of swords lol, yeah you basically ask where to kneel.

    They didn't start the war right away, they gave them 1 month and they did waited the one month. And at noon on the day, they sent smaller troops and attack. So the kingdom didn't see a whole army Marshall like a traditional war. They invaded with 2-3 soul eater, or 2-3 death knights each city/town and have monsters kill anyone that escape to prevent any info leaks. But the kingdom after 1 month still no news of a huge army Marshalling.

    Finally Maruyama added in some other high level players to challenge Ainz. I feel like this was long needed considering we’re already 14 volumes in and it was just announced that the LN would end and vol 17. While Maruyama definitely was handling the direction of the story pretty well, making one sided takeovers and massacres actually matter and have stakes, was starting to get a little old. Ready to see Nazarick test their metal against other high level players.

    I think the reason the Kingdom need to perish is simple. he have to show them that while having their own plan of what to do is good, they are too cocky and it will eventually lead to mistake. he left Albedo and Demiurge to deal with the Kingdom all by themselves, and they mess up (because of a Phillip). now if Aizn is to re-employed the same plan, it would look bad not only for him, but for the Sorcery Kingdom. it would make other nation think that Nazarick are push over and that as long as they can satisfy them diplomatically, they will be ok. Aizn want to show the NPC that they are flawed as well as showing the people of the New World that he is not a push over, and their political bull shit will not save them

      I believe it was stated that none of Ainz’s friends will come to the new world. Thematically speaking, ending with the theme of letting go would be fitting where Ainz, after conquering everything, realizes he’s alone but let’s the past go as he realizes he still has the NPCs and the memories of his friends.

    (c) Thief
    (d) Poison Maker
    (e) Fighter
    (f) Weapons Master
    (g) Sword-Master
    (h) Merchant
    (i) Armoured Mage
    (j) Commander
    (k) Illusionist
    (l) Ability to use "Martial Arts"
    (m) Talent of "Increase in Focus Capacity"
    (2) An "Archangel" which is equivalent to Demigure in Intelligence & Power but with a Sense of Justice= +200 & Job-Classes of:-
    (a) Holy Banisher
    (b) High Priest
    (c) War Priest
    (d) High Druid
    (e) Armoured Mage
    (f) Spirit Guardian
    (g) Sword-Master
    (h) War Wizard
    (i) Shapeshifter
    (j) Commander
    (k) Shaman
    (l) Ability to use Martial-Arts
    (m) Talents :- All-Seeing Eye, Magic Talent, Magic Item Affinity & Enhanced Summon Monsters"
    She must look like "Ninya" but with Long hairs & Angelic Wings, due to her Shape-shifting ability she musst have 3-forms of:-
    (1) Ordinary Human
    (2) Angel with Wings
    (3) Armoured Battle Angle
    (3) A "Holy Paladin Knight" that look like Suzuki-Satoru & is a Immortal Human with a Sense of Justice of +200 & Job Classes of:-
    (a) Warrior
    (b) Fighter
    (c) Sword-Saint
    (d) Weapons Master
    (e) Beast Tamer
    (f) Paladin
    (g) Craftsman
    (h) Blacksmith
    (i) Sacred Archer
    (j) Commander
    (k) Armoured-Mage
    (i) Ability to use Martial Arts
    (j) Talent of "Increase in Focus Capability"
    This must be a homage by Ainz to both Touch-Me & his past self as this NPC can eventually become "Dark Warrior-Momon" for the World.
    This will create diversity in Ainz Ooal Gown & more Humanoid-form members to infiltrate the society if required.
    All these 3-new NPCs must recognize:-
    (1) AINZ as their Creator, God & Father+ hold absolute Loyalty to him.
    (2) Pandora's Actor as their Elder-Brother

    I think SK commited an error letting Red Drop leader run away to ACS with his special armor and machine gun. While he cant face enemies like Shalltear or Albedo with that, he can still obliterate dozens (or maybe hundreds of Death knights) and become a really pain in the ass. I think Albedo should have taken all of his items first and then letting him escape (because he actually is pretty weak without it). At this way, not only SK would eliminate an annoying enemy that would be usefull for PDL side in the future war but also they would get his hands in two items that while not been as strong as WCI, it can be usefull to study their effects in the new world and maybe they could give them to a few Nazarick loyalists natives in order to increase their millitary power.
