What is the Overlord series all about?
To begin with, the Overlord Anime Series is a very distinct Japanese manga with many twists and turns. The story of Overload’s major character, i.e., Overlord, begins in 2126 (22nd century) when the popular game (MMORPGs) completes its 12 years in the real world. However, one day, the in-game character named “Momonga” comes to find out that his other members in the gaming world are leaving in order to live their life out of the game.
Rumors about the MMORPG’s virtual world vanishing soon spread fast. Thus, Momonga leads the virtual Great Tomb of Nazarick until the time it vanishes. When the time comes, Momonga finds himself alone in the virtual world, but according to his understanding, this virtual world was supposed to vanish or come to an end. Therefore, Momonga concludes that the virtual world must have been transported to another virtual world. Thus, the game is still alive.
Not only this, but he also comes across as acknowledging his new and improvised powers with less guilty consciousness. Now, he is on a journey to find anyone who is with him as a game avatar in this new world. On the side, he also goes on a mystery mission to find out what happened to the game world.
Without a doubt, the storyline of Overlord is thrilling. It gives a new set of images to the audience. As the Overlord season, 3 reached its ending in 2015. It has been seven years, and no sign of Overload Season 4 is there for the audience to look forward to. Or is there? Let’s begin to know:

Overlord Season 3 – ending explained!
To begin with, Overlord season 3rd’s final episode 13 – PVP: Player Vs. The Player was excruciatingly fun for the audience. For the most part, the final episode begins when Gazef insists on a fighting duel with Ainz. Even so, Ainz is assured that he will defeat and kill Gazef in the combat; Gazef does not back down because of his moral duty as a warrior.
Climb and Brain act as the major witnesses of this duel. Out of respect, Ainz spoke of returning Gazef’s defeated body to the warriors for further resurrection. But, Gazef does not want to resurrect if he loses.
Before the duel begins, Ainz asks Gazef to show his magical sword from the kingdom for analysis. The sword seems very powerful. Therefore, Ainz asks if he can keep the sword upon Gazef’s defeat as a threat. But, the latter denies it.
Once the duel begins, Ainz stops the time in order to say Goodbye to Gazef and honor him. However, later on, Climb, and Brain (two witnesses) find out that Ainz has practiced a “True Death” spell on Gazef’s body. Meaning he cannot be resurrected.
Seeing Ainz’s success against Gazef, the warriors surrender E-Rental to Ainz. On the contrary, there-Estize Kingdom and the Baharuth Empire come together in a battleground against each other.
As a result of Ainz’s win in four major events of Overlord Season 3; he took over the e-rental and renamed it as the “Sorcerer Kingdom.”
This was the ending of Overlord season 3 in short. But, in the Overlord Season 4, there are many new enemies about to enter the series. The reason is, Ainz has made many new enemies with the founding of his Sorcerer Kingdom.
Top 5 facts about the Overlord series to keep in mind while watching Overlord Season 4
When it comes to anime series, it is hard to miss any facts. But, if you watch closely, you will notice some facts that remain hidden from your knowledge for a long time. The top facts about Overlord may come as a surprise for you:
#1: Overlord is just not an Anime – it is much more!
In the event that you are a Netflix worm, you may know “Overlord” as just an anime series. However, in Japan, the beginning of the Overlord manga was much smaller. That’s right! To the reader’s surprise, it began on a free-for-all novel publishing platform. Here readers and writers can read or upload fanfiction. Maru Yama Kugali originally wrote this light novel back in 2008. In 2010, a Japanese production acquired the light novel for tv-based production.
Further ahead, in the past 10 years, Overlord has also improvised as a game in Japan that has upto 8 parts. Last but not least, the Overlord film is also very popular with the English audience.
#2: Overlord Web Version versus Overlord Anime version – much different!
Before you go down streaming Overlord Season 4 in July 2022 (as it is yet to release), make sure to go on a Japanese online novel site to read the free version of the Overlord online series. Like in Game of Thrones, when the novel transformed into a TV series, multiple details were changed. Similarly, in Overlord, the writer made a lot of changes during its transformation from online free fiction to premium light Manga.
For example, in the Overlord Episode 5, Momonga finally acquires the Swords of Darkness by defeating and killing Clementine. However, according to online readers, the end of Clementine is much darker. Apart from this, “Albedo” is a popular character in the Overlord anime series. She does not exist in the web version. Who knows, who else have writers added or deleted to/from the original version?
Without a doubt, you can also expect to find some spoilers about Overlord Season 4 while reading the web version. However, it will open your mind to new twists and turns!
What do you think that is all about?
According to the writer of Overlord herself, Ainz is not totally evil because he has a defensive reason for everything evil he does. And so does Albedo.
#2: Only Five Volumes of Overlord are yet to come before we reach the supreme END!
After the release of Overlord Season 4, fans are wondering if there will be a season 5. Well! As per our understanding, there should be, and there will be, an Overlord Season five. The reason is, according to an inside interview, it has concluded that the mainstream Overlord Writer plans to write upto 20 volumes of the entire Manage.
Surprisingly enough, the writer talked about how he has so many new ideas, and the story turns of Overlord. Indeed, he can even write upto 50 volumes. However, that would be outrageous and boring for the readers. So, he plans to only write 20 volumes, and by the end of the 20th volume, the show will come to its Supreme ending.
#4: Ainz > the whole Overlord Series
Who do you think is the most prominent character in the Overlord Series? Well! Without a doubt, you’d think Albedo, thanks to her girly troubles and cuteness with a clever side. However, in 2021, the trending protagonist villain has taken the pathway of success. Thanks to this trend, Ainz Ooal Gown is the most prominent character of the anime series worldwide.
To the reader’s surprise, on an internal poll between characters of Overlord, upto 40, 000 viewers voted for Ainz. Second, in line, there was Albedo with 12 000 votes. (Surprisingly, she didn’t even exist in the real version of Overlord, the first draft).
Not only this but according to an online karma sheet of Overlord Characters, Albedo as well as Ainz/Momonga falls in the “less than neutral or evil” karma category. According to this sheet, both characters have no sense of judgment in the context of justice. Yet, it is very surprising that millions of viewers love them.
#5: There’s more to come!
As mentioned before, the main writer of Overlord is planning to finish this Manga series in 5 more volumes. The 15th volume is about to be released in 2022. With that being said, fans are eager to know if something new will come after Overlord. Well! Congratulations, because Overlord’s ending will not leave you completely high and dry.
Indeed, Overlord’s writer plans on starting a new Japanese manga, most possibly on high-school drama consisting of romance and thrills for teenagers.
