I do think its weird that he keeps on using his swords like that. Is he that strong to defeat her while being nerfed to only use melee?

My guess is that his armor converts magic prowess proportionally into melee prowess. Ains said he can't use his real (magical) power while wielding it. He has a somewhat good grasp of the general levels of power in that world, so his estimation of his chances against the woman is already educated. Whereas Clementine, tragically, hasn't got a clue of what she's facing. She must be thinking he's just another somewhat high level adventurer full of bravado (that she has never heard of and thus can't be too legendary). She has likely beaten many, based on her collection. If she wasn't such a psycho, she might have stopped to think for a moment, but she is what she is.
Safe to say those swords Ains is using must be worth a king's ransom. Who knows what sort of a raid they are from. Unless they were made by a buddy who had levelled all the way up smithing and enchanting. I don't think he would use just any sort of pieces of metal considering he's a mage, not a warrior.
Just looked back on Ep 3 and it seems that the Chief Royal Warrior, Gazef Stronoff. Is one of the handful of people who can fight Clementine on equal grounds. From what we've seen....he wasn't that much. So yeah she is pretty much screwed.
Can we trust that, though? I have feeling she hasn't actually fought the dude. She's probably only estimating him based on his fame, which seems to be overblown. I wouldn't be surprised if she was stronger. Or at least I hope she is. If she has fought and slain dozens of adventures, one would think she would have nice magical items in her possession, as well as varied skills.Originally Posted by NeoCybercoin
But yeah, she's screwed, of course, although I wouldn't be surprised if she managed to escape.
I'm looking forward to an action PvP between him and another max player. Just think of the devastation!
So, Ainz Ooal Gown vs. Shiba Tatsuya... who do you got? Go.
Kinda pissed that it's seeming like a 13 episode series, hope we get more.
But Tatsuya is Jesus. He'll even forgive Ainz for his sins.
Kidding aside, there are many who could stand on equal grounds with Tatsuya (though ultimately lose) in his world. Ainz so far has none. Not even close.
This dumb "I won't take you seriously is my revenge" crap is dumb. Did I say it was dumb?
The best revenge is torture. Her pride would be mutilated just the same, but so will her body and mind. Then have her raped by your summons and then by Hamusuke. Then heal her with a potion and do it over and over again in the middle of town. That'll definitely spread his name like wildfire. I'm not quite sure, but did it have to be fame? Or was infamy just as good?
I actually liked how he bluffed his way with Nabe. It was actually one of the rare funny scenes in this show. It also shows that he isn't as smart as he pretends to be. He is just a pro player in a game he has mastered, but other than that, his intellect is a salaryman's.
Peace.
Well, he IS immature... at the very least has plenty of immaturity in him, that has been his MO since the very beginning.
Also, let's not forget that he has his own goals, some of them he doesn't want his followers to know or even question, so he NEEDS to exert his authority when his plans are questioned since they won't always align with what he's portraying to his followers.
For example, I have no doubt that part of it was he wanted to save the kid. Nabe sees his sole goal as him spreading his reputation, but that's not all Momon is about and he can't let his soft side show, even if he at times is in denial of them.
That said, when he cut up the zombie-companions, that was quite badass. No hesitation in the action and no regret. No single thought wasted on them.
I agree that he's immature (hence his behaviour). What I'm annoyed with is that he doesn't try to address it. Imagine if this was a party and someone on a similar level asked him that - he'd be a lot nicer. His betraying Nabe's trust (in his wisdom) is what pisses me off the most. I could laugh it off in previous situations (and in the Overlord specials) because he sidestepped the issue instead of slamming Nabe with "Think about it yourself".
If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
He is betraying his minions' trust just by existing. He isn't what they think he is.
Peace.
I don't think that's quite right. He stayed back with them. To all intents and purposes his "real" role as a living person is actually irrelevant. They're not believing he's an NPC. They don't even believe they are NPCs. They're all just people in a world, and that's true enough.
If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
They think he's a supreme being, one of the deities that created them all. So, they certainly are regarding him as something few humans could ever act like consistently. It's all the worse all of his minions are monsters or otherwise on the dark side. It doesn't matter so much if it's a game and they are NPCs of limited functionality, but now they are all fully intelligent and independent living creatures. The pressure on Ains is huge. That's why I'm hoping he would find a player buddy in whose company he could relax 100% and fool around, without needing to act like a badass overlord all the time. Not a romantic companion, though, but just a buddy.
What I meant is the very nature of his existence forces him to deceive them all the time. He is basically hiding his identity, intellect, capabilities, everything. Even the goal he explained to them is a lie. That is pretty much betraying their trust.
Peace.
That is true. On reflection, it's not so much his lying that I find offensive, but that he is continuously calling Nabe stupid regardless of what she's saying. When she's wrong, he shouts "Don't be stupid", when she's right he shouts "Think for yourself!" Rudeness aside it makes him a sore loser.
You lose badassery points when you're a sore loser.
If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
I'm not sure if he really is saying "Don't be stupid" in Japanese. Seemed a bit milder when I was watching it.
Peace.

Looking at this, I think Ainz can afford to be a little harsh on the combat maids every now and then. They probably won't be emotionally hurt or disillusioned.
Episode 09 - HS

The battle maids are fricking powerful as well, and there's a whole group of them. Yet one would imagine they are lesser being compared to the officers, or whatever you would call those serving directly under Albedo and the butler.
There's something about those slow, intimate eye-to-eye killing scenes that make them especially brutal and gruesome compared to the regular slaying scenes. The one I can't ever forget is the knifing scene from Private Ryan, and thus when a scene brings that into my mind, like now Ains crushing Clementine slowly did, it's a good sign.
I wonder what the very end was all about. I know I shared Ains's reaction of "Huh?". The vampire loli seems to be as much in love with Ains as Albedo, so it's quite unimaginable it would be exactly as Albedo said with no twists.
Edit: I probably wouldn't be able to serve under Nabe. I couldn't possibly deal with all the insults. She seems to have an unlimited supply of them.

I don't know, they can be such a turn-on.Edit: I probably wouldn't be able to serve under Nabe. I couldn't possibly deal with all the insults. She seems to have an unlimited supply of them.
I have no idea what the loli-vampire is up to, but she guards the lowest floors. I take that to mean she's the weakest of them all. This will be no trouble.
If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
Yeah but this isn't like the game anymore. At least not all parts of it. She is a vampire so she'll probably consume a lot of blood to get a lot stronger. Guessing she wanted to fight Ains at her strongest to show she is better than Albedo? Dunno, just throwing theories against the wall..See what sticks.
