Episode 6 of "Overlord" continues to develop the story at a steady pace, focusing on the experiences of Ainz Ooal Gown (under his adventurer pseudonym Momon) as he takes on his first assignment while also exploring the dynamics between other key characters in the series.
The episode begins with a humorous scene where Demiurge visits Albedo, who is lying in Ainz's bed and cuddling with a body pillow made in Ainz's likeness. This scene not only provides amusement but also highlights the consequences of Ainz altering Albedo's character settings to make her obsessively in love with him. While the scene is laugh-out-loud funny, it also raises questions about how Albedo's obsession might develop in the future.
On-site, Momon accompanies the adventurer group Swords of Darkness on their mission to protect Nphirea. In this setting, Momon observes the group's dynamics and also showcases his own impressive abilities. Momon impresses the group by effortlessly taking down a massive ogre with a single strike, while Narbarel (Nabe) eliminates two ogres with a powerful lightning spell. The Swords of Darkness also demonstrate their competence as a team, working together effectively and compensating for each other's weaknesses.
During the nighttime feast, Momon faces a practical dilemma, as he can neither eat nor drink without revealing his true skeletal form. This moment leads to introspection, as Momon nostalgically reflects on his past experiences with his comrades and the possibility that he might be the only one from his group who ended up in this new world.
The episode also examines the interactions between characters, emphasizing the importance of considering one's words and actions. An awkward moment arises when a member of Swords of Darkness mistakenly assumes Narbarel is Momon's lover, leading to an unintended mention of Albedo. Additionally, Nphirea's innocent remark about Momon reuniting with his friends underscores Momon's isolation in this world.
At the heart of the narrative is Clementine, who is involved in violent and sadistic activities in E-Rantel. Her interactions with Khajit, who plans to turn E-Rantel into a city of the undead, take center stage.
