Behind every undead Sorcerer King is an Albedo.
Overlord followers just don’t want to see the iconic undead Sorcerer King, Ainz Ooal Gown, in action. They also want the machinations of his minion, Albedo, the Overseer of the Guardians of Nazareth. It’s a running gag throughout the series just how Albedo adores Ainz Ooal Gown, Sorcerer King, and would go to R-rated lewd lengths to snag his attention and affection–and hopefully, marriage. The scent of her skeletal master is perfume to her nostrils. The joke too is that Ainz (actually an ordinary human salaryman trapped in his avatar’s body of the fantasy game world) jokingly programmed her this way, completely underestimating her obsession–not that she isn’t a hypercompetent assistant to Ainz’s world domination.
At the New York Comic Con 2024, the Overlord: The Sacred Kingdom trailer did tease an appearance by Albedo, being the force of nature she is. But those Albedo shots ended up not being the money shot of the panel. It’s when the panel screen advertised Albedo merch from Otaku. Nothing much, the usual: an acrylic standee, backlit poster of Albedo before her King, keystrap and keystrap bundle, and a… 5ft BODY PILLOW of Albedo! This callbacks to an inappropriate incident in the anime when Albedo crept onto Ainz Ooal Gown’s bedchamber to embrace a body pillow of her Sorcerer King–completely without her clothes.
It seemed that fans, who were about to exit the room upon the panel’s end, had to process what they witnessed because it required a few seconds for the laughter to ripple across the room. Most of the panel was all serious discussion about the hellfire opening of the upcoming Overlord: The Sacred Kingdom movie, so it capped off the morning with humor. One of the guy fans could not resist blowing an audible wolf-whistle at the Albedo pillow. Uh-oh. For viewers who know Albedo best, she would flash a death glare, murder him, and redeclare her fealty to her lord. If only her lord would return this affection.
