Ainz corners Sebas with logic: he remarks at how meticulous and detailed his reports had been up to that point, as Sebas had been ordered to do, but then notes the conspicuous absence of any mention of Tsuare.
Ainz tells him to approach, but before he can get too close, Demiurge demands that he halt at a generously safe distance, establishing just how seriously they're taking things. I want to point out that this doesn't qualify as a spoiler as it's literally never relevant ever again, it's just the author loves to put subtext and clues like that into the source material.Īinz' interrogation of Sebas was shortened rather considerably. The anime makes the contrast quite clear by really playing up the theatrics. As the theory goes, the first conversation is actually Pandora's Actor, while the second is real Overlord. More tellingly, during the second conversation after he returns Victim to Nazarick, he switches back to normal again and the contrast is clear it is only at this point that he notices that Tsuare looks similar to Ninya and asks to see her again, despite already having plenty of time to observe her previously. It's founded on a variety of subtle clues suggesting that Ainz is acting in an unusual manner during his initial conversation with Sebas, such as his dramatized and exaggerated mannerisms - including one specific instance where his actions are characterized as "like an actor" - but also in the dismissive and contemptuous manner in which he addresses Tsuare. One very popular theory about the source material is that Demiurge had temporarily replaced Ainz with Pandora's Actor as a body double in case Sebas had truly betrayed Nazarick. That said, I welcome anything I've missed.Īs you may recall from season 1, Pandora's Actor is a shapeshifter who guards the treasury and took the form of one of Ainz' guildmates during the Shalltear betrayal arc he can mimic the appearance and capabilities of any of the 41 supreme beings at 70% capacity and effectiveness. There won't be any spoilers for future events here - and I ask that you refrain from posting them as replies without properly marking them as such this is especially true if I've omited some information or facts that don't appear until later in the source, chances are I did that deliberately. If something has confused you, you need only ask and I'll happily explain. Welcome to episode 10's source material discussion post, where I mention all the interesting little tidbits of source material that were cut, skimmed over, or changed, as well as providing more context to the various scenes.
