Overlord Episode 4: Ruler of Death - Bobble Reviews

Lord Momonga is so great. Lord Momonga none can hate. Lord Momonga join our crew. Lord Momonga we love you.

You and the rest of us, bub. To the back of the line with you.

In this totally rock-and-roll main-character-is-a-spooky-skeleton metal metal blood rain episode, Momonga decides to put his wonderful name to the ultimate test. He'll wear it proudly on his sleeve as he defends a village from —

nnnnNNNOOOOOOOUUUUGH...

When it comes to names you don't mess with perfection, Momo-sama. Can't just change your name to your magical staff's name. That's just impolite.

O-oh, whatever. Do what you want with yourself and your village, Sir Gown.

O-oh, like you mean, like how people who play MMOs, like the person you used to be,
were, uh, undermined by, umm, society? Not gonna remember that far back, huh?
Well, I guess it makes sense. Skulls don't got brains.

Actually, before Momongown enters the ring against the XxXSLANE THEOCRACYxXx, a horde of crappy knights do, which, of course, as we all know, is futile, because Professor Ainstein here is the only warrior worth mentioning for more than half a second. Nonetheless, this episode acts like Sir Stroganoff and his merry men are actually a big deal. Like they have a touching story and crap.

Still, the battle ends up mostly one-on-several, and Stroheim takes down the identical robo-angel lackeys with moves that don't even sometimes really make sense, like the Instant Counter (hit an Angel with a sword before it can do anything, yeah, that's a REALLY instant counter) and Flow Acceleration (Crash Bandicoot spin).

His sword can be six swords but not literally because it's...cool...?

But he fails. GET OUT, Strom! Because when someone horns in Lord Ooal's territory?

Oh yeah! There was a character next to you all along.

So get this, everyone. King of Skull Servants in the Halloween mask uses his super spells to defend against the paltry low-level angels that all look the same, because he's a master MMO-ist. Everyone brags subtly about how astounding this, and therefore he, is.

Then Albedo steps into the ring to defend him from some really strong attacks that would've just knocked his block off!

Oops, guess they wouldn't!

Oh, but Our Bones and Savior isn't totally impenetrable. Dig this next scene, wherein he has to stare down the highest-level, most prog-rokkin' angel in the history of the Yu-Gi-Oh card game.

Trusty servant Albedo, enraged that the angel has dealt to her boyfriend approximately one damage, screeeeeeeems to the heavens! ...and that's it.

Then Momomomomo uses his secret black hole spell on that angel and it's like

*bip!*

Then the soldiers cry for mercy, which they get...mercifully killed (please imagine blood leaking down from the word, and that it is in Chiller™ font).

And then, to further rub salt into the not-named-Momonga-anymore wound, Lord I-will-call-you-Momonga-anytime-I-want makes the name change his almost-literal first announcement back at the barnyard to all his loyal servants who love him.

Sir, you are about to get some very angry fan letters!
