EP. REVIEW: Overlord III

bay like goats

Ains also leaves us with a semi-mystery about who the “three, no four” which couldn't be targeted were and why; past precedent strongly suggests that Climb is one, and Ains' offer to Gazeff seems to indicate that he's another, but is Brain also one? If we presume Renner is the third then who's the fourth?

Thanks, I did not know the reference and it is used in another manga (the one has has doujinshi running in parallel made by the same author).

Renner is not at the battle, she's back at the castle. We do see a bit more about her next season if that gets made.

I was wondering who they were too and hopefully we'll find out. I'd presume Gazeff (since we see Ains interested in him) and Brain & Climb due to their past interactions with Sebas.
Was Renner at the battle? I would think she would still be in the city... or did I just forget that she was going too from last week?

I would guess the King would be the 4th, since Ains would probably want someone who has the authority to surrender to him to be left alive. The battle would end pretty quickly if he appeared in front of the King and told him to have the troops throw down their arms (though it's not like he needs that...)

I think the invasion of the Tomb could have been stretched out across a few episodes. But it looks as if they're setting up for something big next season like Eins defeat. Too much of the series so far has felt like setup.

I never felt this season had enough bite as the previous two. The first season had some interesting villians (I did like Clementine), while the second has some good secondary characters and world building. Season three dropped hints at some things and enhanced the world building but it seemed to 'tell rather than show' more on this occasion.

Still, I recently purchased the Saga of Tanya the Evil light novels and Overlord was next to them. I may have to buy them next as I do want to know how everything pans out, tis an interesting story.

Ainz' defeat??

The sword being able to bypass Ainz's defenses,now in the hands of Brain and Climb(Mr Mary Sue) is one of several,very much undeveloped,sub plots found throughout Overlord.

Volume 13 just concluded the latest arc,with volume 14 set to begin the next arc(due out "sometime" in 2019).Overlord's story is a long ways away from wrapping up,it's still creating sub plots lol, You'll have to wait till Overlord's volume count is in the 20's before the story begins to wind down.

I think that speaks to writerpatrick's other point. While I do love the story, way too much feels like set-up that won't have payoff for a long time.
----The story right now seems to much be more about them steamrolling the current continent/surrounding nations, and then having those people rise up against them (and probably fail).
