Overlord - Movie Quotes
Memorable Quotes
拍手喝采を、万雷の拍手を。我が至高なる力に喝采を
— Ainz Ooal Gown
Context:
This is said in Season 1, Episode 4, after Ainz effortlessly defeats the Sunlight Scripture using a super-tier magic spell, "Fallen Down." It is a chilling moment that demonstrates the insurmountable gap in power between Nazarick and the New World.
Meaning:
"Applause, a thunderous applause. Applaud my supreme power." This quote perfectly encapsulates Ainz's public persona as the Overlord. It's a declaration of absolute dominance and confidence that he must project to his followers and enemies, even if he internally feels insecure. It marks a moment of him fully embracing the role of the supreme being.
アインズ・ウール・ゴウンに敗北はない。あるいは、あってはならないのだ
— Ainz Ooal Gown
Context:
Ainz says this to himself during his intense battle with the brainwashed Shalltear at the end of Season 1 (Episode 13). He understands that losing, even once, could shatter the faith his guardians have in him as a Supreme Being.
Meaning:
"Ainz Ooal Gown does not know defeat. Or rather, it must not know defeat." This highlights the immense pressure Ainz is under. The name of his guild has become a symbol of absolute power, and he feels he must uphold this image at all costs, not for his own ego, but for the sake of his followers and the memory of his friends.
死は万人に与えられた救済だ。そして、その救済を与えるのが、この私だ
— Ainz Ooal Gown
Context:
This quote is from his confrontation with the worker group Foresight in the Tomb of Nazarick during Season 3, Episode 8 ("A Handful of Hope"). He says this before mercilessly dispatching them for trespassing, framing their deaths as a form of mercy in an unfair world.
Meaning:
"Death is salvation for all. And I am the one who grants that salvation." This quote reveals the darker, more philosophical side of Ainz's undead nature. In a world of inequality and suffering, he posits death as the ultimate equalizer. It reflects his detachment from human morality and his acceptance of his role as a god of death.
