Chapter Summaries

Iori overwhelmed Yoruichi, Shiba Kangen, and Zaraki Kenpachi, revealing his superior strength and Hollow abilities. As he prepared for the arrival of several powerful newcomers, he left the three captains defeated and unable to stop him.

• Yoruichi attacked Iori with Shunkō while Shiba Kangen unleashed lightning, but Iori caught Yoruichi and used her to shield himself from Kangen’s strike.
• Iori pinned Kangen and nearly finished him, but Yoruichi dodged his next blow and escaped with Kangen.
• Zaraki Kenpachi arrived and attacked Iori, who wounded and blasted him through a warehouse, but Zaraki rose again with renewed fighting spirit.
• Iori manifested a crimson greatsword and overpowered Zaraki, then countered the three captains’ coordinated attack and sent Yoruichi, Kangen, and Zaraki flying.
• Iori sensed several approaching presences and prepared for the next challengers.

Iori fought his way through a gathering force of Captains, who surrounded him and launched a coordinated assault. Though they restrained him with high-level Kidō and Shunsui’s Zanpakutō game, Iori adapted to the game’s rules and wounded Shunsui as he began breaking free.

• Iori blasted through the Seireitei’s walls and canopy, then clashed with Fujitora Shijuro and evaded Kyōraku Shunsui’s shadow attack as Unohana Retsu and other Captains converged.
• Shunsui, Fujitora, Unohana, Hikifune Kirio, and Iori Aizen surrounded Iori and prepared to attack together.
• Iori struck Hikifune from behind, but she countered with Hadō #63: Raikōhō before Unohana’s Bakudō helped her escape.
• Iori fought the illusion of Iori Aizen, while Fujitora redirected Iori’s black-red blast back at him and Shunsui attacked from the shadows.
• Shunsui explained the rules of his Zanpakutō game as strips and nails bound Iori’s arms, and Unohana and Hikifune joined their power to cast Kidō #99: Ban.
• Iori clamped Shunsui’s blade in his mask, then used his thrown greatsword to stab Shunsui’s shadow and wound him before blasting nails from his restraints.

Iori broke free of the Captains’ binding Kidō and defeated Shunsui, Jushiro, and Hikifune while Unohana questioned him about his origins and his drive to reach Hueco Mundo. Just as Yamamoto arrived, a Garganta opened above the Seireitei, bringing a mass of Hollows and enclosing Iori in Negación.

• Iori shattered the Captains’ binding Kidō and used Greedy Usurper and Resurrección to counter Shunsui, then wounded him with Shadow Oni.
• Iori struck Jushiro and overwhelmed Hikifune, while Unohana observed that he was holding back and questioned him about his name and purpose.
• Iori told Unohana that he was not born in the Seireitei, his memories were confused, and a profound fate called him toward Hueco Mundo.
• Iori sensed the approaching Yamamoto, and Unohana warned that fighting him would cover the Seireitei in corpses and ashes.
• A Garganta opened above the Seireitei, revealing numerous Hollows, and Negación surrounded Iori as the Shinigami recognized the threat.

Yoruichi and the surviving Shinigami assessed the aftermath of Shitan’s defection and pieced together how he had uncovered the Tsunayashiro clan’s hidden Hollow experiment. Shunsui and Jushiro discussed Shitan’s motives and the damaged underground facility, and Shunsui raised a sound-blocking barrier before revealing more.

• Yoruichi angrily blamed Shitan for the slaughter and destruction, while Shiba Kangen lamented the damage to the Tenth Division barracks.
• The Shinigami reconstructed how the Tsunayashiro clan had hidden an underground facility beneath its shrine and how Shitan had discovered it and contacted Hueco Mundo.
• Shunsui argued that Tousen’s situation had not caused Shitan to defect, and Jushiro agreed that Shitan had likely planned it in advance.
• Shunsui and Jushiro speculated that Shitan’s sudden change in character began when he discovered his family’s dark history.
• Shunsui said the Tsunayashiro estate and shrine were secured, but the underground findings were badly damaged and anything valuable might have been taken by Shitan.
• Jushiro asked whether they had found nothing at all, and Shunsui set up a Kido barrier to block sound.

Shunsui explained to Jushiro that an ancient tablet described Arrancar and Visored evolution, while the Tsunayashiro family accepted blame for lost research after Shitan’s scheme weakened them. Later, Yuki and Iori celebrated their success, and Iori tried to teach Yoruichi how to control Kido power through Shunkō.

• Shunsui told Jushiro that the Second Division had found an ancient tablet describing Hollow evolution, Arrancar, and Visored, and that Urahara Kisuke had helped investigate it.
• Shunsui said the Tsunayashiro family had denied knowing the tablet’s contents but accepted blame as evidence implicated them, leaving their standing among the Five Noble Clans in doubt.
• Yuki praised Iori for carrying out their plan, and the siblings celebrated having manipulated Seireitei’s leaders.
• Nemu returned with wildflowers, saw Iori resting on Yuki’s lap while she cleaned his ears, and privately teased them as a sickeningly sweet couple.
• Iori demonstrated an attack that shattered a granite boulder, but Yoruichi struggled to understand how he converted and controlled Kido power while using Shunkō.
• Iori declined to reveal that his Crest let him automate complex techniques, explaining that his unusual body and quantum computer made the method practical for him.

Yoruichi sought Iori’s help mastering the second stage of Shunkō and discussed the Tsunayashiro family’s downfall and Hollowfication secrets. At a Captains’ assembly, Kuchiki Sōjun became Captain of the Tenth Division, and Yamamoto proposed leading an expedition into Hueco Mundo to destroy Tsunayashiro Shitan and his forces.

• Yoruichi told Iori she wanted to become stronger and asked him to teach her the second stage of Shunkō, so he explained its lightning attribute and urged her to train patiently.
• Yoruichi described the Tsunayashiro family’s loss of influence and the proposal to transfer control of the Central Great Spirit Library Corridor, unaware that Yuki had already taken its deepest-level key.
• Yoruichi told Iori that a stone tablet and records found in Tsunayashiro secret rooms referred to Arrancar and Hollowfication experiments.
• Yamamoto appointed Kuchiki Sōjun Captain of the Tenth Division during an assembly attended by the Captains.
• Yamamoto proposed leading an expeditionary army into Hueco Mundo to destroy Tsunayashiro Shitan and his forces, but another Captain cautioned against rushing into the decision.

Iori persuaded the captains to delay an expedition against Tsunayashiro Tokinada and instead use tensions between Hueco Mundo factions to gather intelligence. After Yamamoto placed Iori in charge of the Hueco Mundo Intelligence Squad, Iori told Yuki that his appointment had not been planned.

• Shihoin Hyakuchu volunteered to join the future expedition, and Iori warned the captains that Seireitei needed time to recover before invading Hueco Mundo.
• Ginrei cautioned that the Tsunayashiro family’s missing treasures could give Tokinada dangerous resources, while Iori suspected Yuki had taken them from the ruins.
• Iori proposed using his Hueco Mundo subordinates to reveal Tokinada’s alliance to Barragan, hoping Las Noches would clash with the rival faction and expose Tokinada’s strength.
• Iori recommended Hiyori Esdeath to lead the effort, and Yamamoto assigned the Hueco Mundo Intelligence Squad to the Third Division under Iori’s command.
• Yuki asked whether making Hiyori Esdeath the expedition’s effective leader had been part of Iori’s plan, and Iori said his appointment had resulted from unexpected events.

Yuki’s envy of Iori’s strength pushed her to begin a Hollowfication experiment using Soul King Fragments, which she named the Hogyoku. Meanwhile, Iori fought Zaraki, then received a reprimand from Yamamoto after sending him to the Fourth Division.

• Yuki compared herself unfavorably with Iori and decided to start a Hollowfication experiment based on Soul King Fragments, naming it the Hogyoku.
• A dimensional gate connected Iori to the Overlord world, which he considered as a possible source of Art Style Value.
• Zaraki challenged Iori, who launched him into the outskirts and fought him in a fierce battle.
• Iori and Zaraki continued their spar until Iori’s injuries sent Zaraki to the Fourth Division.
• Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni lectured Iori for taking the fight too far.

Iori completed a continent-spanning Ley Line project, prepared to strengthen his allies with the Third Magic, and oversaw relief after Dangerous Species began awakening across the Empire. He ended by ordering Akame to assemble an elite force to hunt down the Super Dangerous Species that might emerge.

• Yamamoto lectured Iori about setting an example, while Iori and Zaraki escaped serious punishment for disturbing the peace.
• Iori returned to Akame ga Kill! and explained to Akame that the Greater Holy Grail and Divine Vein Spirit Children were being used to build a continent-wide Ley Line network.
• Iori gained 300 Reiatsu Limit and chose Kurome and Flame Dragon for the Third Magic, while Grandmother Aizen declined it.
• Nadjeta reported that local forces had contained widespread Dangerous Species attacks, and Iori arranged rewards and aid for affected civilians.
• Iori warned Nadjeta that Super Dangerous Species might awaken and said he had authorized Akame to form an elite subjugation force.

Iori explained that the Dangerous Species outbreak in the New Empire was a chain reaction caused by his creation of a Ley Line Network, then agreed to hunt Super Dangerous Species alongside Akame. He next arrived in a cyberpunk version of Overlord, where he learned about the world’s corporate rule and secured a high-rise office through his control over a powerful industrial shareholder.

• Iori told Najeta that changes to the climate and ley lines had triggered the Dangerous Species disturbances, and Najeta left to handle logistics for General Akame.
• Iori recognized that his Ley Line Network had stirred the nation’s earthly essence and set a one-month deadline for dealing with thirteen Super Dangerous Species.
• Akame promised to show Iori the results of her training, and Iori took her hand while teasing her as Kurome watched unhappily.
• Iori appeared in a futuristic city, confirmed that the system had sent him to Overlord, and vanished from the street to gather information.
• Iori reviewed the cyberpunk world’s corporate-controlled society from a high-rise office and dismissed a shareholder of Far East Heavy Industries, whom he had brought under his control.

Iori investigated the cyberpunk world and confirmed that it was connected to Overlord, then considered the dangers of entering YGGDRASIL before choosing to try other virtual reality games first. Meanwhile, Suzuki Satoru learned that HeroHero had returned and invited him to meet about a new game project.

• Iori confirmed that Ainz Ooal Gown and YGGDRASIL existed in this world, and weighed the risks of trying to transmigrate when the game shut down.
• Iori entered a virtual reality gaming pod, skipped YGGDRASIL for the moment, and chose to try familiar games instead.
• Suzuki Satoru played YGGDRASIL, lamented a character's fate, and posted a forum thread asking for her revival.
• Suzuki Satoru received a message from HeroHero and eagerly replied after realizing his old guildmate had contacted him.
• HeroHero told Suzuki Satoru that he had returned to the country, joined a newly reorganized company, and been placed in charge of a large-scale game beta-testing project.

Suzuki Satoru helped reunite Ainz Ooal Gown’s former members for a well-paid closed beta project, while Iori used Far East Heavy Industries’ resources to acquire YGGDRASIL accounts and plan his own transportation to another world. Iori identified another likely transmigrator and decided to design powerful items around useful mechanics while avoiding changes that might jeopardize the transportation.

• HeroHero-san told Suzuki Satoru about the closed beta project and its generous compensation, and Suzuki agreed to contact Ainz Ooal Gown’s former members.
• Suzuki Satoru reconnected with former guildmates, including Takemikazuchi and Bubbleshark, and persuaded several to join the project.
• Iori learned that Far East Heavy Industries had acquired YGGDRASIL’s operating company and arranged to buy the accounts and guild structure of Ainz Ooal Gown.
• Iori identified another YGGDRASIL account holder as a likely transmigrator after tracing a World Item that could control a True Ancestor Vampire.
• Iori resolved to design items with useful mechanics such as resurrection and time manipulation, while keeping the game’s data changes limited so he would not disrupt his transportation to another world.

Iori took control of the Great Tomb of Nazarick and began reviewing its NPCs while reshaping the guild base to suit his preferences. After approving most of Sebas’s attendant corps and marking Aura for revision, he carefully adjusted NPC appearances without changing their abilities.

• Iori used AI assistance to plan custom items and remodel parts of Nazarick while keeping the guild base’s scale and treasured banners.
• Iori sat on Nazarick’s throne and summoned the advanced NPCs, whose loyalty followed from his ownership of the guild and its assets.
• Albedo introduced Sebas and the Pleiades combat maids, and Iori approved Sebas, Yuri Alpha, Lupusregina Beta, Entoma Vasilissa Zeta, Narberal Gamma, and Shizu Delta.
• Iori marked Aura Bella Fiora Zetta as pending revision and prepared to review the Floor Guardians.
• Iori retained Nazarick’s wealth and equipment, then used AI-assisted face customization to make NPCs more humanoid without altering their game parameters.

Iori safely transmigrated into the world of Overlord after the game shut down, then confirmed that his carefully prepared Manual of All Jobs worked in reality. He discovered his new character was level one with no skills, but could use the grimoire to pursue YGGDRASIL’s job system.

• Before the game shut down, Iori altered the Great Tomb’s NPC settings and arranged for Suzuki Satoru and the others to be treated well.
• Iori used Spiritualized Sorcery to stay connected to reality while logging into the game, then activated the plot CG that opened a direct gate to another world.
• Iori arrived in the Great Tomb, checked that his body and soul were intact, and asked Albedo to bring him a Manual of All Jobs.
• Iori opened the grimoire and confirmed that it recognized him as a level-one human with no skills and made basic jobs available.

Iori tested the Manual of All Jobs by facing monsters despite the NPCs’ concern, then demonstrated overwhelming power with a precisely controlled lightning attack. Albedo accepted that Iori needed no protection, and he declared that a king’s authority came from the ability to make others obey.

• Iori had Albedo and Sebas bring low-level monsters to the Throne Hall for an experiment with the Manual of All Jobs.
• Albedo subdued a skeleton swordsman, but Iori ordered her to let it approach so he could fight it himself.
• The NPCs pleaded with Iori to reconsider, believing his apparent Level 1 status made the fight dangerous.
• Iori asked Albedo what could harm her, then fired lightning that narrowly seemed to strike her while destroying her and all the other monsters without causing collateral damage.
• Sebas praised Iori’s precision, and Albedo apologized for doubting his strength and asked to be punished.
• Iori refused to punish Albedo and said a king’s authority came from the ability to make others follow and obey him.

Iori Aizen discovered that his overwhelming stats made low-level monsters yield almost no experience, so he ordered Nazarick’s guardians and staff to gather. He told them that the Great Tomb had entered another world and challenged them to prove they were qualified to acknowledge him as their king.

• Iori reassured Albedo that his earlier attack had been a controlled joke and helped her up, telling her to prove her worth through their future actions.
• Iori checked his class panel and found that defeating monsters had granted him only a few experience points because the game system compared stats as well as levels.
• Iori ordered Albedo to assemble the Floor Guardians at the Sixth Floor arena and told Sebas to bring the Pleiades.
• Iori teleported to the arena with the Ring of Ainz Ooal Gown, where the Guardians and Sebas had gathered to await him.
• Iori told the assembled Nazarick residents that they had been transported to an unfamiliar world and introduced himself as Iori Aizen.
• Iori removed his glasses, let his aura turn cold, and demanded that the Guardians prove they were qualified to acknowledge him as their king.

Iori announced that Ainz Ooal Gown would be disbanded and began testing the Guardians to determine who could keep their positions. He fought Demiurge, who transformed and unleashed a powerful racial skill, as a training mission prompted Iori to challenge the Level 100 demon.

• Iori used his overwhelming pressure to force several Guardians to their knees, then announced that Ainz Ooal Gown was disbanded and Nazarick would begin a new journey under a new organization.
• Iori rejected Demiurge’s suggestion that the Guardians compete among themselves and chose to interview them through combat, starting with Demiurge.
• Iori struck Demiurge with White Lightning and Impact, then followed with a close-range punch that blasted him into a crater in the arena.
• Demiurge rose in his demonic true form and summoned a powerful racial skill, alarming Albedo and the Guardians watching from the arena.
• A novice training mission appeared and instructed Iori to challenge a Level 100 Great Demon, and Iori welcomed the challenge.

After defeating Nazarick’s Guardians in a trial, Iori gained levels and considered which class to choose before formally accepting their loyalty and appointing Sebas as a Guardian. He then prepared to explore the new world, first visiting Nazarick’s treasury to inspect the items he had modified.

• Iori defeated Demiurge and the other Guardians in a test, completing several class trial quests and raising his Human level to three.
• Iori weighed his class options and decided to raise his Human Race to level ten before devoting his remaining levels to classes.
• In the Throne Hall, the gathered Guardians pledged loyalty to Iori, and he appointed Sebas to guard the ninth floor alongside Pleiades and serve as his butler.
• Albedo scolded the Guardians for being weaker than Iori, but Iori stopped the dispute and announced that he would survey the new world and take on quests.
• Before heading to the surface, Iori went to Nazarick’s treasury to inspect the valuable items he had modified and ensure they had no flaws.

Iori explored Nazarick’s treasury, collected valuable items, and took the World Item Mountain and River Scroll before discussing how to develop the land around the Great Tomb with Sebas. The chapter ended with a village burning as armed knights attacked its fleeing inhabitants.

• Iori entered the treasury and spoke with its Domain Guardian, who explained the traps protecting it.
• Iori collected one of nearly every kind of treasure and took a Resurrection Staff.
• Iori retrieved the Mountain and River Scroll, whose altered rules allowed escape without changing its owner.
• Iori and Sebas surveyed the Great Tomb and discussed concealing and expanding their settlement in the new world.

• Anri fled Karn Village with her younger sister, Nim, as armed knights slaughtered the villagers and pursued them.
