Ainz Ooal Gown vs Gazef Stronoff

The killerAinz Ooal GownOverlord · rank 1
16 places
The victimGazef StronoffOverlord · rank 17

The one death on this row that the victim chose. Sixteen places is a margin the duel never got to show: time stopped before the Warrior-Captain could take a step, so the record confirms the order without containing a single exchange. Set beside the night at Carne Village, when the Sunlight Scripture's casters wore him down, the outcome surprises nobody. What earns the pairing a page is the request made beforehand. Shalltear and Climb were both brought back after Ainz killed them; Gazef refused that in advance, which makes his the death on this row that holds because the dead man insisted on it.

Momonga — the Sorcerer King

Light novelsnovelanimation

Killed Shalltear Bloodfallen, a level-100 built as a counter to everything he does, by planning the fight before it began: a super-tier opener, a bluff about mines laid in the air, and a guildmate's white armour worn through [Perfect Warrior] once her mana ran low — dropped at the end for the super-tier spell that killed her. Nothing else he fights is numbered near him. A Frost Dragon Lord dies to a single [Grasp Heart]; the Elf King, his mana gone against walls of skeletons, runs once Ainz has destroyed his Behemot; and at Katze Plains one super-tier spell kills seventy thousand men in seconds before the five Dark Young it calls up start on the rest.

Warrior-Captain of the Re-Estize Kingdom

Light novelsnovelanimation

On the night the Sunlight Scripture came for Carne Village he kept their angels off with martial arts until their magic wore him down. When he next met Ainz it was on the Katze Plains with an army dying behind him; he refused to serve, asked for a duel instead, and asked not to be revived from it. Ainz stopped time before he could move.

Gazef Stronoff on the Overlord ladder

What this does not settle

One death in one work. It is the only place the record puts these two in the same room, and it is evidence about that meeting and nothing wider — not a general matchup, not a rematch, and not a ranking of its own.

The ladder above it is argued from everything either of them has been shown doing; this page is argued from one citation.

Where the two disagree, the disagreement is the point, and it stays visible rather than being resolved by whichever of them happens to be on this page.
