「迫りくる危機」 (Semarikuru Kiki)
“The Impending Crisis”
Ok, now that’s the Overlord I was missing. Light on action? Sure. Ainz doing what he does without much hassle? Certainly. Getting it all in a way which demands more because the first round wasn’t enough? Oh you best believe it. When this series clicks for me it really clicks – and I love every second of it.
While undeniable Overlord is power (isekai) fantasy wrought anew, I maintain that it’s power fantasy done right. The thing with these series is always one upping what came before without causing too much disbelief to be thrown out the window, something this episode and the whole dwarven adventure help keep in check. Ainz after all was always going to win over his new best friends: he’s got the power, he’s got the army, and he has Shalltear ready to play the penultimate cockblock (Albedo arguably has that crown locked up). What’s not so clear is how Ainz’s latest gambit will fully play out. He may wind up annihilating the jumped up prairie dogs with nary a peep – or stumble across a sign of the secondary reason bony boy has ventured out so far. It’s that measure of uncertainty which keeps things interesting, because for all Ainz’s talents it’s anyone’s guess just what happens if he does finally meet another player in this world. Nothing like the promise of the unknown to whet the appetite.
Speaking of appetite, going to be seeing plenty of that in the near future as the gears shift into full-on LOTR mode with dragons blocking the way to the spoils of dwarven greed. Hell I cannot even be mad at what’s effectively Percy Jackson’s the Hobbit being all anime’d up: Ainz will do what Ainz does best, Shalltear and Aura will have their chance to shine, and there’s no risk of Gondo pulling a Thorin Oakenshield and losing it over a pretty rock. Well, one hopes – this is a dwarf we’re talking about. For good (or bad) all is set for some fun times in Overlord, we’ll just have to see how the skeleton man tackles the next step in his grand strategy.
Or, you know, have Floor Guardian to figure out what that step is.
Still no Beta me sad
Shalltear show how to get Dwarf attention.
Who doesn’t like a good drink after a hard day’s labour? 😛
who’s the person telling Momon about the frost dragons in the end credits scene? looks familiar but can’t recall who it is

It was an adventurer from the adventure group called “The swords of Darkness”. Her named was Ninya from season 1, the girl who disguised herself as a boy. She is also the sister younger of Tuare, the girl that Sebas saves from slavery in season 2.
Thanks for that. I completely forgot about all that. Curious, do you know what Aura wanted to tell Ains before he shushed them?
They wanted to tell Ainz that the death knights weren’t killed by force but by cutting the bridge. They thought Ainz already knew though and was using this as a teaching lesson for Shalltear so decided not to say anything in the end
As minarge said, Aura is fully aware about what happened to the death knights, but Ainz is still in teacher mode and wants Shalltear to start coming into her own. The hilarity of the moment is that Ainz isn’t fully convinced his death knights simply fell to their deaths.
