@@BasudebJena003 In that moment, Brain surpassed Gazef Stronoff in strength and entered the realm of heroes, basically saying that he went far beyond what his normal species was able to do. Cocytus was able to acknowledge Brain's strength and instead of treading over his body, he instead went around becuase Cocytus had that much respect for Brain and his courage. The light novel specifically says: Just as Cocytus was about to step over Brain, he stopped himself again. He looked towards the castle behind Brain. “…” Cocytus turned his head around while deep in thought. He turned right and walked into a path that was narrower than the one before. He walked down the path until he emerged onto the main street again, after which he took another right turn. He walked along while confirming the castle’s position, taking every right turn detour that he saw which brought him back to the main street. Cocytus looked towards his right. Brain’s remains were now quite a distance away. Cocytus then silently walked towards his left - towards the castle.

@@BasudebJena003 You just had a "true warrior" stand his ground with resolve in the face of death, to not allow the intruders past him. Being effortlessly defeated doesn't matter, because when it comes to warriors, respect and honour is seperate from strength. This is how Cocytus can respect those so much weaker than him. Having just impressed Cocytus with his resolve and will, as well as showcasing the greatest warrior traits (surpassing ones own innate limits through this), Cocytus has nothing but respect for Brain. To simply continue walking past his slain body, when such a respectable warrior had lain down his life to prevent that, would be the hight of disrespect towards him. So he doesn't want to continue forward out of respect, but he has his own conflicting orders. So after giving it some thought, he finds a way to carry out his orders without disrespecting the warrior he had just recognised. The fact that this was done in such an outwardly obvious manor in front of so many of his subordinates is what makes his "walk" so much more meaningful than it already is, because it is expressing his level of respect for all to see, towards one nominally an enemy.

Cocytus was created as a soldier. Ains wanted him to grow as a general. A soldier accepts orders without thinking, but an officer thinks about the meaning and reasoning of the order.

What is Command Intent? Told that regularly as an officer, key thing, you are right on the money for officers. However, modern western soldiers are expected to think, adapt and question unlawful orders, but yes orders are orders if not illegal. That said their officers will be held accountable for this misinterpretations of orders since they gave them unclear direction.

That's very much a command and control kind of attitude. How do you expect the brass to know what's going on exactly on the ground? This is why the Western soldier is expected to think for themselves. It is far more effective

I think takemikazuchi was plenty creative, he just made so many swords over the years of playing yggdrasil that he got tired of naming all of them, so instead he'd name a series of them and each iteration would be an improvement or variation of a common theme.

Indeed to assume the guy wasn’t creative because of one example shows that our host has only ever made one or two things in general. It’s very easy to come up with 5 or six badass names, but if I asked for 300 of them and expected you to never reuse any or call it a different color then you’d be stumped. However, you could probably come up with thousands of different blades with different variations and uses and of improving usefulness

I think it would be the pinnacle of his craft that's why it's added the mk mark.. maybe he wanted to keep the takemikazuchi name as his best blade.. Similar how to some machines/system are named.. Example gundam.. gundam mk2 gundam mk3 and so on.. Android os 1.0 and so on..

@upperdecker9992

Жыл бұрын

Agreed. I do this.

Takemikazuchi wasn't bad at naming weapons. He grew attached to some weapons, and improved on them over time little by little. One weapon he could have used since he began playing Yggdrasil and named it MK I, and over the course of playing he would add parts, or aspects to that weapon, and every addition would be another version. He respected everything he owned, and that sense of respect carried over to Cocytus. I personally would know, because I do it myself. If it were me, if I had something I treasured and improved on that something, I wouldn't just give it a new name. I'd want it to retain its original name, and then give it a sense of progression as I build on it.

Good timing on this supercut considering how important Cocytus was to season 4 episode 12 that was released a few hours ago. They did justice to his badassery. Thanks again for your efforts!

I like to believe that Ainz had let Cocytus take the Lizardmen under his command simply because he knew Cocytus’s creator loved a challenge. Ainz misses his friends, and could be intentionally bringing out the personalities of his friends within the npcs that they created.

A truly respectable warrior.

Given the chance, I bet Brain would've loved to know more about Cocytus' sword.

Bro was waiting for this moment Mad respect for cocytous in the recent ep

Wow, just in time after the latest episode showed his duel with Brain

DnD has a devil that closely resembles Cocytus physical appearance and shares the theme of ice powered skills. its called "Ice Devil" and Cocytus is most likely drafted after it just with extra arms and a more heavy set style to represent the warrior/fighter in him. Its possible that Cocytus' unknown racial lvls are in "Devil" (5) and "Greater Devil" (5) as Ice devils are always specialized devils that "evolve" from Lemures, a base devil form.

I love your way of explaining complex topics in very simple terms and in very limited words. Some of stuff you gloss over could be 1 hour topics on their own but you have a way of really compacting that information and delivering it very distinctly and moving on

"Is designed for both bursts and sustain" wait, that's illegal. Uncle Cocytus is still my favorite Floor Guardian such a cool character.

Damn best bug

I just have to say that the amount of work and information you give with this videos is insane. I really appreciate your work and have mainly started watching you a few years ago because of overlord. Im glad i did cuz your videos really increased in quality and even tho these new ones are relatively long to watch i still find joy in them cuz of amount of lore you give and your calimg voice. Keep up the good work and i hope to see more Overlord videos in the future. 😁

About Cocytus's arms and tail, in DnD, there is build archetype focusing on using many weapons with many arms, it is a glass cannon like build, so i woudnt be surprised if his build has many bonuses that apply to all his attacks, instead of specialized and stronger buffs. I would also not be surprised if he can both Bite and attack with his tail in his general damage rotation with his four arms.

Fun fact Cocytus is also one of the 5 rivers found in Hades. It’s the River of Wailing & Lamentation, it’s usually depicted as grey. Also love imagines & clips from the Dante’s Inferno game & animated movie.

I strongly believe their loyalty is primarily motivated by their fear of abandonment. Given NPC retain some of their memories from Yggdrasil; they _must_ remember the loneliness of having been on standby after their own creators left. On many occasions it was directly stated they feared deviating from Ainz's plan or disappointing him would cause him to leave like the rest of the 41; and not that they don't have a will of their own. Being the one that causes Momonga; who stayed behind; to leave is as a sin far too great for any of them to bear. The fear of abandonment is so great; to the point Albedo created a hit squad for the purpose of _Killing_ the 40 who left; So Ainz wouldn't leave them.

Cocytus is my favourite guardian, the fact that he is always calm and he has never fought seriosuly let me think he can be really powerful once he decide to fight at full force

I like how the armor system makes players use different sets in different situations because of the item drop when killed. It is similar to Albion Online where you won't always wear your strongest set in open world but use different quality sets in different situations like GvG, HCE, Farming etc.

One of the purpose why he(Ainz) wants them to think outside of their roles is that It’s really a tedious job for one person to think all of the decisions for them although that’s the prime purpose of supreme being. And also testing the probability that one day his vassals will betray him.

honestly, with all the DnD inspirations: I'm stunned no one has compared him to the DnD's Ice devil

I recall reading something about Sebas in particular that makes the rock paper scissors between him and the other floor guardians make a touch more sense: one of his key advantages in a fight against other close quarters fighters is a skill that allows him to sunder weapons. Albedo's signature weapon is a world item (given to her on the sly by Tabula Smaragdina) whose most remarkable quality is that it's nightmarishly effective against wide areas and the terrain itself, and completely unbreakable, if a touch mediocre against actual targets. Cocytus's signature weapons are all extremely well specialized killing tools whose durability is completely unremarkable.

Really great video on Cocytus! I’m really liking this recap/conclusion style of presentation allot. As viewers we’ve got the direct look into their different aspects like their power, or abilities as NPC’s with the previous videos and these longer wrap-ups are really fun to watch. I’m really enjoying the content thank you and keep up the great works.

Cocytus sees a guy standing in front of him by himself. " Yeah this is a real one"

Such perfect timing, also the research and effort put into these videos...Awesome work honestly

25:41 I actually thought that the part of the point of the lizard-men was to show the story from the perspective of what could've easily been different protagonists. I feel like every group and party introduced offer this opportunity. There are so many interesting and well developed side characters in this story it's amazing.

Man i'm missing these Overlord videos man... i binged them all through in one day and they were THE best content I've ever watched on youtube these days next to your Explanations about the Slime anime. That's why i love Isekai's so much. If the story and world-building is SO detailed as these 2 stories, there is endless amounts of information missing. Is there even information in overlord left that is unexplained from your side? I'd LOVE to see more from overlord. Your voice is so chill and it's really easy to listen to you while multi-tasking in work etc.

finally I have been waiting forever for this

I actually love these man thank you for the content.

Can we acknowledge how skilled he is to know that Brain is better then the rest. Like imagine playing Pokémon with a level 100 team and take away the HUD just about everything will die in one hit and you would be none the wiser if it was LV 10 or LV 30

Tha k you so much for another amazing explanation video!! I always look forward to these when I go to work. Helps time pass

If I didn't watch this last night.... I probably won't understand what cocytus was doing with Brain. Best episode by far against all other episodes.... except for next week ... I might be wrong again

Maybe the ??? Insect class let's you select new physical traits as you level amd customize your character. Like for each 1-2 levels you get to pick a part of your character and mutate it, gaining skills and abilities.

Good timing on this video release for Cocytus

loved the video. took some time to get to the end since i had no internet but i reached it today

i appreciate these videos 1 hour feels like 10 mins

Thanks for your wisdom, I really enjoyed your video

Love the video!

To me the collections is not like a boring way of just collecting objects. I think it more of like they collect a unique object possessed by a person they find interesting and respect. To trophy hunt is to respect the prey. Hes not like a hoarder he could not save, spare or convice Brain to change or defect. No reason to bring it up to the Lord. So his way of dealing with it and still following orders was to kill and collect a personal momento from an opponent they found interesting and in way he gets to preserve his personality without being unloyal to the lord. My 2 cents.

love your videos!

Enjoy your vacation. I can't wait to see your videos on the episodes you haven't covered yet.

Naming something you've improved from the original as Mk 2 or Mk 3 does not mean he isn't creative good lord. Creativity is need for innovation which you absolutely need if you are in the top melee players in the top guild.

I'll be honest, Cocytus is my favourite character from Overlord. He's just awesome, and has the heart, soul and will of a warrior.

cocytus changing his path to show respect to brain was probably one of the best scenes this season

I like that you used music from the Overlord (2007) video game during this video.

in 23:00 that lich was the advanturer who was killed by Mare while Ainz was trying to clear all future witnesses of his fight with Shalter (im talking about the advanturer who was tied to a tree and struck by Mare's staff in the anime)

My wife overheard this video and said you sound like you overannounce the word kitten. Much love though. I love how detailed you are and you enunciate your voice so clearly I can ever listen to you quietly in public!

These have been the first book I've ever bought (or really anything I've bought related to an anime). The last episode was extremely close to the book.

Damn even though I knew it was coming seeing brain go out is still painful. It's interesting to see cocytus preserve his body in the middle of the road instead of of taking it back to nazarick like in the LN but maybe that happens off screen.
