Meh...I can see a place for bonus episodes going back and detailing everything that's in the LN's and even filling out more things.

But since they've committed to a pacing that is about three LN Volumes a season, I'd have to say that drawing it out and not getting to the duel between Gazef and Ainz would be a pretty major mistake, especially given the way they've gone with it as the central theme of the PV's and such.

I mean, if they don't show the outcome of the duel, then everyone's just going to search for that online so it won't exactly be a cliffhanger. Right now, this season, they have a chance to show the duel and have at least some viewers breathless to find out what happens. End the season without showing the duel, and that's gone.

And the duel is a major transition in whether people remain engaged with the series. Showing the duel gives them a chance to get people invested in what Ainz actually does, rather than just saying "I read online that he kills Gazef and makes sure he can't be rezzed, what kinda BS is that?"
