Isekai Quartet: A crossover between Overlord, Konosuba, Re:ZERO, and Tanya the Evil.

Episode 10:

they're having a competition with the other class and Subaru's class is screwed. the other class got the Pleiades, Vanir, Chris and Julius.

and they got Reinhard Van Astrea, that's why they're fucked

Episode 11:

as expected, Reinhard dominates every sport he competes in, because he has a blessing that makes him win in a tug-of-war and impossible to steal from

surprise appearance of The Destroyer for the finale

does the class competition count as an Evasive Fight-Thread Episode? discussion on who would win between Ainz and Reinhard has really flared up in these last two episodes

Probably Reinhardt.

Reinhard. As long as it makes logical sense to the world, it will be able tp conjure up more blessings if he needs them.

Ainz uses Wish to copy for himself Reinhardt's blessing to gain more blessings as needed. Now who wins?

Reinhard

is he as boring as he sounds?

No he's actually pretty fun. Fun fact there is actually a world ending monster that shows up in some Re:ZERO bad endings and Word of God is that Reinhard eventually stops it each time.

However he is not invincible. (and more importantly not super fast, he has no ability to get around super quickly.)

Some of his abilities are also kind of funny like the Blessing of Salt Reasoning which prevents him from mixing up salt and sugar.

Though being somewhat serious I do think Ainz could win if he knew of and could use Wish Upon A Star to gain (Re:Zero stuff not yet covered by the anime is under the spoiler) the Greed and Gluttony Authority.

he's also there to contrast against Subaru and being an example of a Stock Light-Novel Hero, which Subaru definitely isn't. and even though he's pretty much unkillable and every unique attempt at beating him will give him a new blessing, he still has his own problems

There's also a what if story where Subaru actually exploits his return by death ability.

No matter how many times he does, he can never gain the strength to defeat Reinhard, but is still stronger then everyone else, akin to becoming an Evil Overlord for Emilia's sake in a fashion similar to Ainz, but because he can't damage Reinhard physically, he instead destroy's Reinhard's Reputation instead. It was wirtten by the author for Subaru's Birthday, and also a Take That! at trying to exploit time travel mechanics to become more powerful via loops, and it ends with everyone except Subaru, Emilia, the disgraced Reinhard, and The Witch of Envy herself dead.

Even if this were only for Isekai Characters, I'd love Willem to be in this somehow. It would be interesting to see, especially since his life sucks in a way that only Subaru could really match. They'd be pretty friendly to each other, I bet.

Defeating Reinhard if your goal is just a psychological victory is possible. But trying to defeat him with force or just cunning battle tactics won't work.

Basically.

If he didn't have infinite revives it would be possible.

i too, think that Reinhard would win in a battle between them

though i find it pretty funny that a match that was largely overlooked when Re Zero was airing flared up again thanks to Isekai Quartet

Though there is one thing that would make for the typical Overlord fight joke between the two that would be hilarious to end up happening. Even though it isn't likely since it was only mentioned in series after Isekai Quartet started airing.

Isekai Quartet Crossover Anime Gets 2nd Season

Guesses for the new characters? I'm not sure which series are Kadokawa though.

The only Kadowka isekais I know about (besides the ones already in this) are Shield Hero and I think No Game No life?

I hope Shield Hero, if only for Hamsuke to pout about having to live in a cage while Filo walks around freely. Also, Naofumi coming in as the outsider after everyone's already formed friendships and having his attitude get him labeled as a delinquent would be perfect.

Out of the four series involved in Isekai Quartet, I've only watched KonoSuba, so I initially thought not having watched Overlord, Youjo Senki and Re: Zero would impede my enjoyment of the show. Far from it. While some non-KonoSuba references did fly over my head, Isekai Quartet still works well as a Gateway Series to the other isekai series I didn't watch. (Heck, the intro itself already provides an alternative Establishing Character Moment for all four shows in the crossover.)

Since then, I've watched all three seasons of Overlord (plus the side content—I see where Isekai Quartet's art style comes from), currently finishing Youjo Senki season 1 and will be starting Re: Zero as soon as I'm done rewatching Shield Hero (which I only started from episode 21). And speaking of which...

Fingers crossed that Naofumi's crew are the new transfer students. Ditto the main characters of Kenja no Mago—complete with Kazuma joking how Kenja no Mago's world looks somewhat similar to his world.

I'm a bit disappointed that there was no scene of Rie Takahashi talking to herself. (Unless you count that scene in episode 8 where Emilia takes additional suggestions for the school trip only for Megumin and Darkness to answer before getting cut off by Ainz.) On a different note, whenever I saw Shalltear in the original Overlord, I can't help but think: "Shalltear pads her chest!" (Thanks, Aqua!) And finally, is it bad that I like Viktoriya/Visha's appearance in Isekai Quartet over her usual appearance in Youjo Senki?

TL;DR: Isekai Quartet - Still an enjoyable watch despite being familiar with only 1/4 of the crossover's source materials. Looking forward to Season 2 (as soon as my isekai backlog is done).

we saw the new character in the credits.

Looking at bookwalker as reference, I'd say, popularity wise, the easiest series to include would being That Time I Got Reincarnated As A Slime and No Game No Life.

There's also SAO, but that technically isn't a "traditional" isekai.

Re:Zero was the only series I wasn't familiar with before Quartet started. I remember thinking "what's this Subaru guy bring to the table? He's just a less compelling version of Kazuma."

Then I watched Re:Zero and understood that's HOW he's supposed to seem to anyone not privy to his perspective. Brilliant presentation on Quartet's part.
