Overlord Season 3 begins with an episode set in the familiar surroundings of Nazarick, focusing on the interactions and daily lives of its inhabitants. The episode blends moments of relaxation with hints of intrigue, laying the groundwork for the upcoming season.
The episode starts with Ainz Ooal Gown, the Overlord of Nazarick, rewarding Sebas and Epsilon for their successful information-gathering mission in Re-Estize. Sebas requests everyday items for Tuare, prompting Ainz to give him gold for a shopping spree and a pleasant date in E-Rantel. Epsilon's request is more ominous: he seeks out "not innocent" humans for unspecified but presumably nefarious purposes.
A lighthearted moment follows as Ainz reveals his skeletal form, and the human player within him discovers a novel method for cleaning this unique body. In a humorous twist, Eclair, who dreams of ruling Nazarick himself, is comically treated like a stuffed toy by Shizu Delta.
The episode then shifts to a leisure activity organized by Ainz, where the Guardians are separated by gender. Albedo, accompanied by Shalltear and Aura, summons a massive unicorn. However, she is unable to ride it, leading to a surprising revelation. The unicorn can only be ridden by a "pure virgin," a condition Albedo does not meet, much to the group's astonishment. This detail hints at Albedo's unfulfilled desires and the role intended for her in the Tomb.
In a moment of self-reflection, the human player behind Ainz expresses doubts about whether his mundane background as an office worker qualifies him to portray an Overlord. Despite these doubts, the loyalty and admiration his servants show him suggest that he fulfills his role more than adequately.
