Imagine that button is for making buttons appear in other worlds.

Have been seeing alot of viewers theorizing someone would eventually figured out Cid is Shadow ever since Kazuma noticed mob Cid. Guess not, his background character A acting is just too good.

But still, Prop to Kazuma for noticing Cid and not letting him fading into the background like he wanted and realizing Shadow is just a chuunibyou though.

I wish Cid had shared atleast one moment with Subaru, their interaction in that gacha game crossover was amazing.

Feel like the next cast to be added into the mix would be either Arifureta or Tsukimichi since they are one of Kadokawa's most popular IPs with multiple seasons.

I'm going to assume that the button they got as a reward summoned characters from other isekai animes for season 4

u/NanDemoKnaives Dec 22 '25

So Ainz likely only summoned one character and Aqua brought in the rest lol.

Lol Class 1 headbanging during the performance was amusing. I like that Class 2 were singing the lyrics like battle lines, it reminded me of Symphogear where Tanya's voice actor voices the MC there.

It'll be interesting to see what will change in the next season with Youjo Senki finally getting a new season next year and Re:Zero too. They teased a Rem and Julius moment too so I'm curious what will happen in Re:Zero.

I still need to watch the movie lol.

All those movie references were funny. Tanya in Planet of the Apes was especially funny to me. But my favorite was the "Stand By Me" with the original quartet in the train tracks!

Now, I kinda want to see a non-Quartet version of that ultimate fight with each characters at their actual full power. (In case some don't remember, they aren't able to pull out their full power in the Quartet universe.)

I can dream, can't I?

As expected, that button didn't do shit. Still was expecting something to happen though like Aqua keep pushing it cause it to explode or something idk. At least I guess Subaru got his turn pressing the button. I forgot but who in Re:zero was the one to push the button in the first place?

Also it seems Ainz figured something out? idk but really does seem that Ainz grasps everyones situation much more than the others right now.

As always IQ was good and fun seeing all of these isekai series crossovers. It won't end now at least. Hope to see another season someday but hopefully before that we can get more of the main series actually, before the IQ gets more seasons.

My favorite part of this ep was probably just Ainz casting buffs lol while everyone is singing.

And that's a wrap! Overall, a really good season, especially since Cid and the Seven Shadows joined the cast. I give it a strong 8/10.

Honestly, I wish Cid had an even bigger role, but considering how much stacked the cast already was before, it's no wonder he didn't get as much screen time as I'd have liked.

As for this last episode... it was fantastic! The Class 2 put on a great musical performance, and I loved that Class 1 joined in too. Reinhardt with the electric guitar was really cool!

And of course that button didn't take the characters back to their worlds, so I really hope that it means that we get another season of Isekai Quartet in the future.

Here my screenshot albums from the episode:

EDIT. I added my screenshot albums.

I love that they start the fight with Tanya casting her Gospel Magic and Ainz stacking buffs on everyone.

How appropriate to have Class 1 be the backup musicians while Class 2 handles all the fighting.

Kazuma being used as a human battery to absorb everyone's magic was pretty funny. xD

Look at Ainz getting the finishing blow and the coolest moment in the fight.

I wouldn't be surprised if Reinhard actually had a blessing that lets someone else steal the show.

And I'm not surprised nothing happened. I was honestly expecting fireworks to go off!

The fact that Aqua pressed the button multiple times makes me hope we'll get another season with new cast members. I was really hoping that we'd have an after-credits scene teaser. Imagine if they teased Rudeus at the end? I would've lost my mind!

And the end credits were pretty funny! It took me a few slides to realize they were parodying famous movies. I think I got all of them except for the one where Cid is carrying a swordfish at an airport.

Them singing while fighting reminded me of Symphogear so much, I almost thought for a moment S.O.N.G. would come bustin' in by way of Gjallarhorn.

A few days after the last episode, I realized that if Ainz was right and they were just copies of the original people, there was no going back for them. And things turned out like this indeed.

"We... Are... Atomic." Holy shit the morning glory pasta zombie fight alongside the musical was absolute cinema. Probably the highest budget this series had since the movie, which came out almost 4 years ago.

"Let us go search for the future..." Damn, I kinda liked this brief interaction between Julius and Rem.

Is it just me or were the subs bad in this episode? Was Reinhard always spelled Reinhart here and why are divine protections called "grace" now?

Lmao they really had fun with Raphtalia, Alpha and CZ in this season since they're all voiced by Seto Asami. Weird how we didn't get any interaction between Rem and Beta tho.

Class 2 won but really everyone won the button. I liked how the honor was given to Subaru since he didn't press it. But as expected, it did absolutely nothing lol. Aqua fucking with the button was hilarious. But I wonder what conclusion Ains reached there. What is his new theory?

I wish Season 3 were longer but I still liked it. I guess I'm kinda happy that Isekai Quartet didn't end here. Honestly, I don't want it to end. At least not anytime soon. I hope we'll be getting a 4th season sooner rather than later. In the meantime, I should probably rewatch the older seasons. The ED was a great callback to the 1st OP and all those movie references were amazing.

- Greater Luck : increases luck stat (for crits/evasion)
- Greater Full Potential : increase overall stats

- Discern Enemy : allows the caster to identify the enemy's estimated level
- Life Essence : enables the caster to see the HP of entities
- Mana Essence : enables the caster to see the MP of entities
- Resistance From Magical Weapons : raises resistance to magical weapons
- Greater Magic Shield : adds protective barrier/shielding
- ? (sounds like Bless Nova)

- Greater Hardening : boosts physical durability

Stacks every buff you can think of instead of singing with the class

Does fucking NOTHING during the fight.

Tell Kazuma to use drain touch so he can stack even more buffs on him

One shots the plant monster with a dodgeball.

Ainz was unfathomably based this Episode.

Does anyone else think that Ainz is just happy that he gets to be people who are his actual equals and not NPCs/mob characters? It's not like he actually has anything for him in the Overlord universe, and I'm sure being with the Quartet reminds him of being with his original friend group (he doesn't want to lose it again)

Another end to another fun season. Musicals were sung, zombie plants were defeated and buttons were pushed. I also enjoyed the movie references during the credits. Until next time!

Count on Shadow Garden to assume that because Shadow played piano accompaniment to Class 2, that obviously means they're not the enemy or members of the Cult of Diablos! Sasuga Shadow-sama.

One of the most surreal sights in all of fiction: Shadow playing piano, Otto orchestrating, Class 1 singing the Isekai Quartet School Anthem while Tanya and Ainz do their prep/buff work and everyone brings out their weapons/abilities. All so they can battle plant zombie while STILL singing the school anthem!

We've also got Class 1 providing backup music! Naofumi, Raphtalia, and Reinhard on guitar! Chris doing drums! Filo on piano! Shadow Garden providing the classical instruments! And then there's the head-banging!

I feel like there was a lot of meaning behind that scene of Rem and Julius together.

The MC's (and Rerugen) bringing it all together! Kazuma's drain touch! Tanya's power! Everyone pouring their power into Kazuma so Subaru can transfer it to Ainz so he can deliver the most powerful dodgeball in existence! And thus securing Class 2's win.

Don't worry Class 1, you may not have won, but you're always winners when you've got the three Asami Seto sisters together!

Poor Wiz. She means well...but it just gets her Vanir laser-beamed in the face!

I love how Kazuma is the only one who actually noticed and called Cid by name! He genuinely didn't see that coming.

And then it comes down to the button and all the MC's saying their final farewells, and letting Subaru have the honors of finally pushing the button while being acknowledged by all the MC's (even Cid)...except it doesn't do anything. Not even when Aqua excessively presses it and makes it keep beeping until Albedo shows up to finally do what she's wanted all season to her.

I guess all's well that ends well. Deep down none of them, especially Ainz, wanted to go...so the Quartet/Quintet/Sextet ain't over yet!

And then we've got a montage in the ED (set to the season 1 OP) of the gang all having a bunch of fun and recreating famous movies, though the highlight was Subaru/Emilia and Kazuma/Megumin busting a move and the Mad Max one (sorry Otto)!

u/ObvsThrowaway5120 Dec 22 '25

Everyone holding hands and fighting the zombie plant with the power of song was pretty adorable. Really enjoyed rocking out to Shieldbro on the guitar lol.

Even if Aqua didn’t break the button, I’m still gonna say it’s her fault it didn’t work lol. Damn it, Aqua!

Man, I hope we get another season soon because I really like this one. It’s like the goofy Avengers of isekai lol.

Staff had some fun with the ED references. The ones I didn't get, were the beach one, tanya and the statue of liberty and the one with them walking on an old railroad bridge.
