Overlord III Episode 3 Review: Enri's Upheaval and Hectic Days

An entire episode focused on Enri. Hmm… Probably there is going to be an intense fight soon in Carne Village. It’s getting way too much attention from the Nazarick people.

Japanese Original Episode Title: エンリの激動かつ慌ただしい日々

Plot

Enri, Nphirea and the goblins have a meeting inside the village along with Brita and Lupusregina in order to hear what Agu has to say. They are informed about the ‘Monument of Destruction’ and decide to gather up their forces. Nphirea gives the new potion he created to Lupus so she can pass it to Ainz. The goblins manage to catch some ogres and with Enri’s help they decide to join them. She then heads over to E-Rantel by herself since Nphirea couldn’t make it so she can sell some medicine herbs and put up a quest in the guild. Unfortunately, she is considered very suspicious by the guards from the items she carries and she is confronted as they think she is a powerful magic caster who is pretending to be a village girl. Momon comes in by chance, vouches for her and she is set free. Nabe comes later on and questions her why she is in the city but leaves swiftly after getting her answers. Enri goes to the guild to put up a quest for the adventurers but it ends up being too pricey. As she returns from the city she meets up with her goblin guards giving them new weapons to thank them for everything they have done so far. Coming into the village the chief wants to have a word with her, he ends up asking her to become the next village chief but she is very hesitant and confused about it, so she talks with Lupusregina who is not much of a help and then to Nphirea who positively reinforces the idea and helps Enri make up her mind.

Episode Highlights

Lupusregina the perv: There is no doubt that every member of Nazarick is a little bit fucked up and Lupusregina is not left out. She likes to do sexual jokes, like the one with Enri and the goblin kid along with Enri harassing her when she is trying to ask for her help. She is also a sadist which, yet again, is not a surprise to us. She is also supposed to be very beautiful and exotic, much like Nabe.

Enri and Ainz: I don’t really understand why she is getting so much attention but I think the next few episodes will solve everything out for me. When she said that she must be the only person dealing with these kind of problems I immediately thought ‘cut to Ainz’ right now. It’s funny to see them having the same self-confidence crisis, I really wonder where exactly all these lead up to.

Themes & Trivia

The names of the goblins: In this episode it’s much easier to notice that their names are actually a reference to a famous Japanese tongue twister and joke. Watch this video and you will understand everything.

The Pleiades: In the ending scene we see Yuri Alpha talking with Lupusregina who is revealed to be a huge sadist. In the light novels, Yuri who is the eldest of the sisters and one of the few good-natured individuals in Nazarick, she is not amused when Lupusregina reveals her true desires. Thinking that Lupus is as bad as Solution, she then wonders why so many of her younger sisters are so nasty, saying that only Shizu and Entoma are probably the only other ones that are slightly well-behaved.

Comments

Okay the ‘Monument of Destruction’ is probably the thing that Aura has been put in charge of constructing in the second season and probably it was discovered by the nearby clans and was considered a threat. Well who wouldn’t consider it a threat… it has undead soldiers guarding it and killing everything that comes near it. If I remember correctly Ainz initially built it as a storehouse or something like that but now he is probably going to use it as a decoy for something else.

I only know 41 supreme beings that can do everything perfectly.

Obviously, the 41 people that Lupus is mentioning are the original members of the original guild of Ainz Ooal Gown. Thankfully, there weren’t that many members left before the servers were about to shut down, can you imagine if there are 41 people trapped inside the game and Ainz needs to find out their identities? Oh boy, that would be an endless quest for sure. I have no idea as to what to expect from now on, even Ainz himself is a little bit lost in his own plans and thoughts. I just hope to see some intense action and badass-ery soon.
