* It's noted that Momonga is actually not that strong for a level 100 player character, since he had a build more suited towards roleplaying. He's still powerful enough to steamroll entire armies in the New World. One wonders just how powerful a min-maxed level 100 character like Ulbert or Touch Me would be in the New World, who unlike Shaltear would also be skilled in dueling strategy like Momonga.

* For [[spoiler: Platinum Dragon Lord]], Ainz represents his worst case scenario. There is no "divide and conquer" possible here, what he has on his hands is effectively a magical von Neumann machine who has the complete loyalty and control of all the resources of a top tier guild. Everyday Ainz can create cannon fodder from corpses that are stronger than the vast majority of New World residents without any true cost to himself. Past a certain point, Nazarick becomes self-sustaining as they have so many troops that Ainz can effortlessly replace any losses. Unlike the [[spoiler: Eight Greed Kings]], there is no one to betray Ainz. Unlike the [[spoiler: Six Gods]] his forces are almost entirely derived from Yggdrasil and thus are generally much stronger than anyone else can field. You can almost see him going [[DespairEventHorizon "now what?"]] when trying to find a chink in Ainz's armour.

* 1.) The person blowing the horn must be a goblin. Even though Enri is not a goblin by blood, she '''is''' a goblin, by adoption, under goblin law. All her previously summoned troops call her "Anue," or "big sister." We have precedent from Volume 8 in the form of Agu, a hobgoblin who is the chief of his ''goblin'' tribe because he was adopted by the previous goblin chief, as a baby, and is officially recognized as a goblin by them.
* 2.) The person blowing the horn must be a ''general.'' Enri had at least 3 levels in "general" before she blew the second horn.
* The third condition is still vague, but it's either commanding different species together, or blowing the horn in battle, or having a sufficiently large base of operations, and being [[spoiler: the chief of Carne Village]] certainly qualifies.

* During Volume 7, [[spoiler: Albedo makes an off hand comment about how the guild "Ainz Ooal Gown" means nothing to her and she has even made a new flag in honor of Ainz. Naturally, this shocked alot of readers into thinking why one of (if not ''the'') most loyal follower of Nazarick would say and do such things but when you think back to what Ainz originally did to her settings, it all makes sense. Ainz programmed her to be in love with Momonga. Let me repeat that, Ainz programmed her to be in love with '''Momonga''', not Ainz Ooal Gown. She's only doing what she was programmed to do. ]]
* Albedo's decision to [[spoiler:kill the 41 Supreme Beings (except for Momonga of course). Now of course if your just reading it for the first time, its natural to think that this is absolutely ridiculous and that Albedo is truly a [[BitchInSheepsClothing ungrateful cunt]] but if you really think about it, can you really blame her? Imagine you were created to be an NPC by a bunch of players and they can customize you to be whatever they want. And there's nothing you can do about it. They can change and alter your personality, powers, and mannerisms to whatever degree they choose, making you nothing but a obedient slave. ]]
** Not only that, but also [[spoiler: the people you were created to protect and swore your loyalty too eventually forget about you completely and abandon you (in truth, just not playing the game anymore). It was even stated that 37 of the original 41 members of the guild quit and the last four remaining (save for Momonga) were barely active. Hell, if it wasn't for Momonga contacting his last remaining friends in the guild to show up for the final day before the game closes, they wouldn't have even bothered to show up. Though the Guardians apparently show no resentment towards the Supreme Beings, one can only wonder how they ''truly'' feel on the inside. ]]
** Though it is true Albdeo's reasons for [[spoiler: killing the other members might be what was posted above, her reaction in Volume 3 when watching Ainz become depressed when he sees his old guild mates equipment and realizes how much pain they're causing him could also be a major factor. ]]

* Why was Naberal of all the Pleiades chosen as Momon's partner? Simple, the need to keep party balance and several disqualifying factors. Yuri is the best fit for the sake of personality but she is also a melee combatant. People might accept that a "man" with Momon's stature could be extremely strong but Yuri? Not so much. Besides she needs to be present to coordinate and control her sisters. Lupusregina blends in the best with humans but as a faith-based caster that does not follow any of the existing religions, her magic will mark her as an outsider. In the unlikely event that Momon is injured, she can't heal him either as [[ReviveKillsZombie healing magic hurts undead]]. So a cleric that is never seen healing her partner is somewhat suspicious. Shizu and her guns are right out, they don't even exist in the New World. Solution too can have a hard time keeping up the masquerade in a setting where she is likely to be attacked. It is unknown how well she can simulate the injuries that a human body should suffer when attacked but it takes just one slip up to reveal that she is not human. Entoma is a cheerful man-eating abomination whose powers will definitely invoke horror in everyone who witness it. Therefore Naberal, despite her quirks, was the only viable option.

* The third condition is still vague, but it's either commanding different species together, or blowing the horn in battle, or having a sufficiently large base of opperations, and being [[spoiler: the chief of Carne Village]] certainly qualifies.

* Princess Renner getting the idea that "love" means chaining Climb up in a dungeon and using him as a sex toy comes completely out of nowhere. True, she's a {{Yandere}}, but where did she learn that? Someone somewhere had to show her. Was she taken to an Eight Fingers brothel and ForcedToWatch? With threats that that would be her fate if she didn't stop being too smart [[ForYourOwnGood For Her Own Good?]] Was she made to go through it, first hand? [[MadLove While someone was telling her that's what "love" means?]] The more we learn about Renner, the more horrific her childhood appears. This girl needs therapy badly, but ThereAreNoTherapists.

*** According to Japanese reading viewers of the anime, the reason that Albedo had questionable loyalties is that her setting has her as a fallen angle, corrupted by the guild, Ainz Ooal Gown, and that she has a personality like... well, several famous Asian empresses who ensured their power through bloody, horrific methods, but comparing her to Bloody Mary wouldn't be harsh enough so there's no real western counterpart. Being in love with "Momonga" just means that instead of setting herself or her child in a position of absolute authority, she wants Momonga to have that position... the fact that he's calling himself something else is no doubt a thorn in her side, though.

* During Operation Gehenna in Volume 6 of the Light Novels, Evileye and Nabel had to hold the line against the minions of the evil archdevil Jalboath. Nabel fights three of them while Evileye takes on Alpha and Delta The matchups make a lot of sense since [[spoiler:Yuri and Shizu are the two Good aligned Pleides and are unlikely to lose their temper and accidentally kill Evileye.]]
