3:14:49 So to understand why he cant normally be his full potential is two reasons first he only has limited Mana unless he uses Drain Touch and he cant use that skill publicly (Lich skill), the other reason is his build is fuelled by high luck stat.......which his other party members drags down
Ah so this went over my head at first too because it's been a while but the bubbly going missing in Ep1 makes sense and you are right that there is another person living with them in that mansion. A certain young girl who likes mature things. Remember Aqua's speech in front of the mansion when they first entered back in S1? Remember Kazuma commenting that he did put the in-use sign up on the bath before Darkness entered and that someone pranked them?
@@newyorkcityp7570 It's the ghost in the mansion, Aqua never succeeded in purifying her I guess lmao, so she sometimes steals her drinks and enjoys it cause Aqua buys em expensive stuff
The young girl is named Anna Filante Esteroid/Asteroid and Aqua explicitly didn’t purify her because she’s an innocent girl and there was a short story referencing her in this LN (LN 7.)
I think many people missed the fact that the skeleton under the plant girl is actually an reincarnated sent by aqua that's why aqua recognized the mallet
Most reincarnations would be super-vulnerable to the Tranquility Plant's attacks: They're all fueled by heroism, romanticized adventuring, and simping. Add on the location being a rarely-used highway leading to a monk hermitage, and few people (and no reincarnations) would be going there just to be caustic, selfish, and apathetic. Kazuma's Detect Threats skill-sets are also Thief-only (and his class can grab any skill, albeit at a premium in skill point cost), which isn't going to be a population reincarnation class, so most wouldn't even get the warning. And even he fell enough to spare the monster once. Probably one of the scariest monsters in the setting, really.
Kazuma was always a good rogue and tactician. It was just never displayed fully in the anime, especially during Season 1,where he developed his spell combos. His tactical mind was also in display when he temporarily joined Dust's party, and turned a surprisingly hard mission into a manageable one (also in Season 1). Also, Aldarp's plan was far more sinister than we've seen. I believe he was planning, at first, to switch bodies with his son once Darkness marries him, but we know what happened. So he gave the Body Switching relic to the First Prince, and began promoting having the Prince marry Darkness, and switch with him, making him the future king as well. I wouldn't be too surprised if he switched with Iris either and use her body as well. Kazuma, Eris (using Cris), and Aqua, directed by Vanir, sunk that plan completely.
Yeah, I can definitely see the dude "cutting his loses" and swapping with Iris if his plan for Darkness to marry the First Prince didn't work out. Thankfully it didn't come to that.
adding to Aldarps sinister plan, in the light novel, he is also more or less an evil version of kazuma. it was hinted when Aldarp was with Kazuma in the hidden room with the magic mirror. so yes they are both perverts but there is more. in the novel, it is also said that Aldarp has a very high luck strat and above average intelligence, just like Kazuma. the summoning item also summons random monsters, as stated in the anime. but aldarp happened to be so lucky that he got Maxwell, who turned out the source of his wealth and power. and ofc dispite them being rather similar, they end up realy different. even Darkness can't stand Aldarp even tho he would fullfill her desires she regulary mentions. but she loves her time with Kazuma
Vanir doesn't like killing people as he gets nourishment from people suffering emotionally (he loves embarrassment and shame), and dead people are not capable of doing that He mentions in Season 2, that his main goal behind helping in Wiz's shop is to gain enough money for Wiz to create an elaborate and powerful Dungeon for him to reside over, and then sit on a huge treasure box while being challenged, and then after a powerful group of Adventurers finally beat him, and open the Treasure Chest, for it to only say "You lose", and he wants to pass on with that feeling of shame, embarrassment being his "last meal" before dying
Actually Vanir doesn't have a deathwish anymore....He wanted to die in Season 2 because he had gotten tired of just existing for the sake of maintaining the Devil King's Barrier.......dying was his escape, because he has multiple lives....
she can't really 'drink' anyway, that's mostly just her suggestion. All water she touched get purified into just water thanks to her holy-ness, and she has no control over it.
I liked how since the Moment we knew about Darkness Situation, Megumin was often shown running through town and talking about beeing the crazy explosion girl, i felt like she tried to make herself scarier, since she planned to that from the start. She wanted to blow up the church or at least be convincing in her act. She literally made herself look crazier than she actually is. I love Megumins character very much :)
Btw fyi, Vanir mask didn't do anything. It's just buff Kazuma Confident. So yes. Kazuma is THAT good. And he's so considerate, in the LN there's explanation that if He beat Mitsurugi, the whole kingdom guards mental gonna go down and treat him immedeatly. And also if you wondering "is general king is like vanir all of them" the answer is..... No. Vanir is duke of Hell while Demon King is just on earth. Demon got into earth with summon and contract, you should watch and comprehend Megumin spin off to get that.
Kazuma trashing the guards which the majority of them are also reincarnated was so badass. And Mitsurugi was let off easily in the amine. The LN was way more brutal
In the light novel and manga Vanir explains the effects of the mask aren't that big of a deal. The anime tried to make it look like Kazuma got better because of the mask simply because they've cut most of the content that shows Kazuma being competent (since they were trying to keep the goofball image). But in the LN and manga he occasionally uses his skills to confuse or disable enemies (specially using smart combos of basic magic), it's just that magic and strength are too low to kill big monsters by himself. At the time he gets into the castle he also has the flee skill that allows him to run away from enemies easier.
Yeah, Kazuma is not Rudeus Greyrat, haha... Well, I guess they are similar in a way at first, since Kazuma is the kind of person who has never experienced love and doesn't understand it. When he said marrying Darkness was a punishment, he really meant it, haha (especially since he is obsessed with having a harem). It really takes a whole lot of time and effort for him to fall in love with a girl and admit it. Anyway, the anime has only covered 7 volumes of the light novel. There's 10 more to go...
@@eizy1010What are you talking about? There is no condition and this video is all of the episodes. There’s also nothing with the mask, so I don’t know what you mean.
the body guard Claire has an affinity for, well let's just say when it comes to Iris she's what Child Rudeus was like. As for Kazuma's boost in strength, well in the books he's actually really skillful, he's a jack-of-all-trades master of none type fighter. i think at one point (it was skipped) he traded parties with Dust (the guy who he took pics of in the girls' underwear) and he was seen as a massive help with his plans and skills meanwhile Dust did not have a great time. though it's been a while since I've read that part so i might be misremembering details. the fight in the castle is actually way more epic, him using things earth and wind skills to create dust storms, he actually dealt with the mage girl by sniping the stone on her staff and he froze the water he put in Mitsarugis mouth causing them to help him immediately, all the while they are running through the halls of the castle instead of standing in a big room. it's probably his party that holds him back because while they are a big help in specific situations, their well let's call it defects, cause a big disturbance in any plan he can create. Hes defintily no god killer don't get it twisted but he's competent when he doesn't have to play babysitter.
**Spoiler** I guess?... and Cut content: Anyway, you got one thing right, in the light novel Darkness for a long time seems to represent sexual attraction, while Megumin represents a more innocent love (specially as time passes. The anime hasn't even reached the middle of the story. And even then, it already has cut a bit of Kazuma and Megumin's interactions, which makes the whole thing feel even a lot more sudden...).
When someone is very happy in an anime like this, we can expect something very hilarious or tragic to happen next. In the case of this group, both at the same time.
Man you guys are putting out one after another with long vids. Looking forward to next reaction while I finish this one on my second monitor while working. Edit: You guys has the same reaction as me of thinking the video freeze when Kazuma was dead and got sent to Eris and in restaurant scene with Aqua.
In the source material after the Crimson Demon Village arc Megumin begins to refer to Kazuma as "her man" and decided herself that they were now in the beginning of dating.
Supplementary info and LN changes (Very long comment warning, since it’s an entire Season/2 LNs of lore and changes.) The first episode is anime original for the most part and the rest was cut from the movie (the Tranquility Girl, the campfire scene was on the way to the village, and the letter from Iris, with everything else, including the mallet and Sylvia, being anime original.) 3:05 - Megumin is 14, but in this world, she can already get married (a plot point from the movie) and she can drink alcohol (Kazuma’s just being overprotective and she got alcohol at the end of LN 6/S3E6.) It still wasn’t adapted, but Kazuma’s backstory was revealed when Megumin held his hand, as he had nostalgia and implied that she was like his childhood friend that promised to marry him, but he got NTR’d by a senpai and she rode on his bike, which he got PTSD and became a HikiNEET, eventually being forgotten irl, but popular online in games.) 11:05 - Cut from the movie was the third night and extra day, where Megumin claimed Kazuma as her man in front of Dodonko, Funifura, and Yun Yun, promised to get him chocolates on Valentine’s Day, and confessed for the first time saying that she likes him (it was built up since LN 1, but the anime cut all the bonding/romance and Kazuma doesn’t like Darkness romantically, it’s just a physical attraction, as he said early on in the LN that he’s grossed out by her masochism, which is her defining trait.) In Episode 2, Claire wore a white suit the entire LN/Season and her nickname is ‘White Suit,’ the counterpart of Darkness and her Symphonia Family is the Sword of the Kingdom of Belzerg, while Dustiness Family is the Shield (Iris had Darkness as a childhood friend, due to politics, which is why they’re close.) 34:00 - Iris did this because she didn’t want to speak to commoners, as she’s a Royal (she actually did say exactly what Claire and Rain told them, as Iris is the Gaki/Brat archetype, at that time.) 36:45 - Claire meant it, as she genuinely wanted to use his knowledge/tactics to improve the knights and acknowledged him as a hero at the time, since he took down multiple Generals, something not even cheat users have done yet (only later she becomes more sadistic and mean, as she kept getting let down by Kazuma, despite giving him tons of chances.) She actually made Darkness bleed more, yet she aimed to cut through the wrist (Claire Field Symphonia is based on Snow, from Combatants Will be Dispatched! and Iris is based on Alice from Combatants, too.) Episode 3 has a reference to KonoBakuen (I’ll mention it when you react to KonoBakuen) and Rain Sky Coleslaw wanted Kazuma to treat her normally, because she’s a lesser noble, but Kazuma was too weary and used honorifics (also a Black Butler reference when Sebastian is mentioned.) Episode 4 has another KonoBakuen and a short story reference, where Megumin goes on Explosion dates. In the LN, it’s ambiguous where he touched Chris, but the illustration showed him tickling her on the bed. The ring from Mitsurugi had a joke, where Aqua made it vanish, despite it being able to adjust (later Aqua tried to do the same to Iris’s ring that Kazuma stole, but he protected it.) 1:24:15 - They said ‘yobai,’ which is basically a night raid/night crawling, an ancient Japanese ritual where guys could court single women (or sometimes married women) with knowledge from the family or village. In episode 5, the fight is an inversion of the cut Party Swap chapter from S1, where he carried Dust’s Party against 30-ish Goblins and a Rookie Killer and he’s revealed to be less than Lvl. 20, while everyone else are Lvl. 30-ish and after they returned to their bodies, Megumin helped Kazuma by beating up the thugs by herself, after he gave her mana (she let Iris fight because her stats are insanely high and would win, even in his body.) 1:40:36 - She already recovered and was stalling to spend more time with him. 1:42:25 - They tried in the LN, but all it did was glow, so they had to wait for it to end. 1:46:58 - Claire is a lolicon, so she’s bi (Kazuma’s also a lolicon, but they cut his statement from Episode 2, where he wanted a little sister so much, that he tried to split his parents apart and for them to remarry, so he could have a non-blood related little sister, which was the first time they beat him up and no, none of the nobles nor the princess are related.) Episode 6 had Claire be a lot meaner and sadistic than the anime (the nobles also said that Kazuma should be split from his Party and Claire gave solutions to how his Party can be useful without him), putting Kazuma in his lowest point in life, Kazuma got caught by stealing a dirty magazine from the treasury, he didn’t fight Claire, but he spammed Create Earth and Windbreath, Bind, Steal, and Drain, making the knights think that he was comparable to Crimson Demons and no one could catch them due to having the Escape skill active, Kazuma grabbed Mitsurugi’s face and used Create Water down his throat, then froze it with Freeze to suffocate him, and Kazuma used Snipe to break Rain’s staff, as she was instructed by Claire to kill them (Aqua could revive them.) 1:56:44 - Only in the anime, since a lot of his perverted thoughts are internal and they made him more perverted and obnoxious in the anime, as he’s the Tsukkomi (Straight man, usually) in the LN and is a bit more focused/serious, except when he gets carried away and gets karma. 2:00:04 - Nope, it’s all Kazuma, as Kazuma stated in the LN that it just gave him clearer thinking and he did similar stuff in the Party Swap chapter, with less Skills and lower stats (the Vanir impersonation is anime original and there was never a hint in the LN that Vanir could possess the mass produced masks and regular people have them in town, which Vanir would never hurt regular humans/civilians and Vanir and Wiz appearing in the village in the movie are anime original, including the second phase of Sylvia’s fight.) There was also a scene of Claire crushing on the masked thief and wanted him to be on the side of good, so Claire is the second bi character in this series and Iris references ‘Exterion,’ which is one of her skills. 2:13:52 - Iris knew, but she wanted to prank Kazuma, because she’s the brat archetype. Fun fact: the WN released (Dec. 2012 - Oct. 2013) before Persona 5 was announced (Nov. 24, 2013) and LN 6 (March 1, 2014) was released before Persona 5 released (September 15, 2016.) The title of LN 6 is a parody of Rokka no Yuusha/Rokka: Heroes of the Six Flowers (Rokka no Oujo/Princess of the Six Flowers) and the first LN without a new Demon General/fight against one. Episode 7 had Vanir reference LN 3’s epilogue/S2, where he told Kazuma about Darkness’ fate here, all the way back then and Darkness left because of Alderp’s butler and where she accepted Alderp’s subjugation of the Hydra, which is why Darkness wanted to kill the hydra (also had a rant about Chomusuke, wanting her to become a cat girl, like his manga.) 2:25:27 - KonoBakuen reference. 2:37:27 - The 8th episode had Eris reference the death screen for Dragon Quest and explained how powerful the Hydra was, that it’s a tradition for the kingdom knights to put it to sleep every time it wakes up and that no one could kill it, and that it tanked Explosion, which is mansion sized now (Darkness was also bloody because she cut into it to free Kazuma and Kazuma lost his tool, so Aqua said he became Mrs Kazuma/Kazuma-chan), Rin had her first lines, since the Party Swap was cut from S1, and Darkness left to Alderp and didn’t return for days, instead of the note, and the Party didn’t eat because they waited with the crab from S1 to celebrate and Kazuma learned the Cooking Skill offscreen. 2:43:52 - No, Megumin honestly meant that because she already told him (in LN 5/the movie) that she likes him. 2:58:04 - They’re staying because of the Succubi Cafe and why all the guys fought Destroyer in S1. For context of Episode 9, Dust joined Kazuma’s Party temporarily and they went on a quest with other parties to protect a farm, Kazuma projected Darkness on Rin and why he chose to help Dust because of this and his PTSD as a child, Norris’ first name is Chuck, so Darkness has a guard named Chuck Norris, Kazuma knew that Darkness was vulnerable and why he distracted her with the abs comment and Kazuma moved his hand to her abs because she lacks experience, Kazuma fought Darkness with Drain Touch and other skills and won, and Ignis (Darkness’s dad told Kazuma that he looked into Alderp and everything else, so he knew he wasn’t poisoned or anything by him.) 3:02:07 - She’s not wearing a tanuki tail, it’s real and she’s self-conscious about it.
3:18:58 - It’s a cautionary tale that an ideal fantasy, doesn’t always fit with reality, especially regarding fetishes like masochism (she was ok with marrying him when she was younger, but Kazuma changed her outlook on life/her dream as a knight and friendships.) In S1, there was supposed to be the Party Swap chapter where Kazuma swapped with Dust because he was being a drunk jerk after the Dullahan fight (Kazuma carried the entire party, despite them being Intermediate level, by using Lurk and his non-damaging Basic Magic to avoid/blind the Rookie Killer and helped easily defeat the 30-ish Goblin army and gained a relationship with Rin and the others, which is why she’s nicer to Kazuma and didn’t get mad at him and why Keith helped him learn his Archer skills, showing his cool side without his Party and Dust failed a similar quest with the girls.) 3:23:54 - When Megumin confesses in Episode 10, this is actually the second time, as she said it first in LN 5 (cut from the movie) and Kazuma was flustered here and Megumin wasn’t manipulating him and meant it, because she did it again in the LN, before Kazuma has his outburst about caring about Darkness (Kazuma distracted her from him being flustered, by showing her a boxing bag prototype and she used his knife to cut into it.) Unlike the anime, Kazuma was making all this stuff in prep for Vanir and knew Vanir wanted the info, even giving Japanese farming info/everything he knew (Kazuma and Ignis did everything to investigate Alderp but found no evidence and his abused ex-wives wouldn’t say anything, so even the kingdom couldn’t help and Iris couldn’t intervene between 2 consenting adults, so it was all fated for Vanir to be the only option.) 3:32:41 - He’s just a butler and won’t go against his dying master, so he couldn’t do anything, on top of Maxwell interfering effectively against fate/reality itself. 3:36:07 - The guard for Darkness had a backstory and became Darkness’s childhood playmate, because her mom died and her previous playmate went away, so he planned on retiring after Darkness married. 3:38:34 - It’s just a gag you’re not meant to think hard about, since he’s an anime only character/glorified extra (the VA is well-known, same as Luna, but she eventually was added to the LNs much later.) We get Alderp’s PoV in the LN for episode 11, which he was creeped out by Maxwell and found that odd, since he gets along with people the more time he spends around them. He also explains how Maxwell’s power is to manipulate events/memories, but the power is weaker in a church (due to what he did and said to Darkness, despite being a lesser noble than her, he wanted Maxwell to change everyone’s memories and was going to execute Kazuma, but was stopped from leaving when Maxwell said that he couldn’t and that was the first time.) Alderp had payed the price many times before, but Maxwell’s bad memories (he had a hole in his head in the LN, but that’s unrelated to his normal bad memory) let Alderp continue to do this (unlike the anime, this was foreshadowed in LN 3, where Aqua could sense Maxwell’s power when Alderp used it on Sena and the judge to get Kazuma executed and called it out and people believed her, until she mentioned that she was a Goddess/follower number and the lie detector item rang and the people threw her out of the court.) Alderp has been doing this since before the series started and is also responsible for other things (he was going to use the body swap treasure on his son, when the marriage succeeded in S2/LN 3 and would kill his own son, but it failed and then prepared his plan for S3/LN 6 to swap with the prince and kill him and marry Darkness that way.) Not so fun fact: in the Web Novel (not the LN) Alderp’s exes all looked exactly like Darkness, so he partially succeeded and he was going after Darkness since she was a child, despite failing each time. Alderp ordered Maxwell to kill Vanir, but Maxwell was confused since Vanir is his kin (Vanir adds that Maxwell came from another world without his memories and that he is his kin and says that Alderp only got this far in life due to his only strong point: Luck, since Alderp is meant to be Kazuma if he was a terrible noble and that’s why the Demon Summoning treasure picked Maxwell.) Alderp cowardly says that he wouldn’t have done any of this if Vanir just wanted Maxwell back, but Vanir did this because this gave more negative emotions to Vanir and would die for this many (he also didn’t have a wig to take off.) In the LN, Maxwell broke both of Alderp’s arms and held them in front of him and Vanir told him to take him back to hell to pay off the debt slowly, which Alderp tries to bargain with his wealth, but Vanir says that it would be confiscated to House Dustiness and Kazuma would get all his money back, as well as the town and the kingdom (he tried to use his staff, instead of family, in the LN.) Lastly, Alderp tries to bargain with Maxwell that he apologizes and that he doesn’t hate him… which Vanir was waiting for, as Maxwell likes him and wants him to stay by his side forever in hell and enjoy his despair day and night and this was why Alderp couldn’t like the Devil as he was so terrified that he prayed to god for the first time (‘I will cherish you, Alderp! Unlike the girls you abandoned after abducting them, I will take care not to break you!’ were the last words from Maxwell, before Alderp was dragged to hell forever as Maxwell laughed the whole time, a fate worse than death.) Also, Maxwell’s power also affected Darkness and why she agreed to the debt in the first place (as well as every action she made and not telling anyone.) There’s another epilogue that was cut, which is likely moved to S4, so watch out for people trying to spoil it. 4:06:54 - Dukes of Hell are just powerful demons that aren’t a part of the Demon King’s army, but Vanir was also a General keeping the barrier up. Extra info from the author and Kazuma: both hate Harem, with Kazuma’s reasoning being that it’s too much trouble (also his PTSD, which is why he’s a coward, as he doesn’t want to get hurt again.) Each LN focuses on a main character and it rotates, with Iris’ debut breaking the rotation (S1/LN 1: Aqua, LN 2: Megumin, S2/LN 3: Darkness, LN 4: Aqua, movie/LN 5: Megumin, S3/LN 6: Iris, and LN 7: Darkness.) Tranquility Girl is a monster that old people go to eat it’s fruit to pass away in peace and are harmless because it has the strength of a little girl (the stump is also the body, so it can’t move.) Recap: no Demon Generals were fought/this was the first Season without a Demon General encountered/fought and we dealt with 2 Divine Treasures after starting this side plotline, with 5/8 Generals defeated/encountered and 2 Treasures that aren’t Gram, this Season. No announcement for S4, Continued! KonoBakuen series, Dust’s Spin-off series, or Vanir Spin-off yet and this is the end of LN 7: Okusenman no Hanayome/110 Million Bride (parody of Seto no Hanayome/My Bride is A Mermaid.) The VAs for Iris, Claire, and Rain were first used for the gacha and reprised their roles, just like the characters from KonoBakuen (they were both made at around the same time and announced at the same stream.) Fun fact: the author was told to give up as an author by a teacher, but they didn’t give up and now they have a multimedia franchise and an ‘Akatsuki-verse’ of stories in a shared universe/multiverse (?) with Konosuba, Combatants Will be Dispatched!, and Kemono Michi. Maxwell is apparently a reference to the Maxwell Demon, which is very on the nose for the Duke of Hell and was in the WN and LN before Mahito from JJK was a thing. Sylvia was given extra scenes with the movie and S3 E1, when she died in the LN permanently and was turned into Magic Resistance gear, when Komekko shot her with the Rail gun in the movie. Just to inform the popularity of characters: Megumin, Eris, and Iris are the 3 most popular characters in the entire series and KazuMegu and everything related is the most popular things that the entire worldwide fanbase likes (Iris wasn’t even in the anime yet and barely had screentime.) Current ages for Konosuba characters (it has not been a year since Kazuma arrived, yet): Aqua (???/physically 16), Chris (15), Claire (older than Darkness), Darkness (18), Dust (18), Iris (12), Kazuma (16), Megumin (14), Rain (around Darkness’s age), and Rin (15.) We are at LN 7 out of 17 LNs and the spin-offs. Sorry for the long comment, but it is 11 episodes of missing lore/changes (also, a lot of the changes for having less cool/serious Kazuma moments and the Party Swap, is because the director doesn’t want Kazuma to have them/wants Kazuma to be humiliated/treated as a joke.)
@@cranesilentlyplays8084 One question you can probably answer. When Kazuma rewrote Megumins adventurer card so she kept her explosion, did he optimize it? As in, different skills that benefit the spell more than just throwing all points into the spell itself?
@@DomSithe I'm not him, but the novel says he "put all her skill points into increasing the power of her explosion" which implies the points go directly into the spell, it's also elaborated in a later volume that you can use skill points to increase the casting speed of spells, so it seems like there's an upgrade tree sort of thing built into different skills.
@@Tubular_dude_20y_ago yeah, i assumed the skill tree kind of idea because there is a visible increase in her power post kazuma update. Always kind of chalked it up to him being a gamer and just knowing how to optimize things like that.
@@tana1464 Not picking up on it in S1, sure. Not picking up on it in S2, maybe. STILL not picking up on it in S3 despite the anime making it EXTREMELY obvious, not so much, IMO.
So, fun fact - the 'items' that the reincarnated receive can only be used by them. So, because Kazuma chose Aqua as his 'item', she actually becomes MORE useless when he's not around. It also explains why she only really gets along with Kazuma despite being basically worshipped by Mitsurugi.
1:34:07 I just realized something! The similarities... And Kazuma has a very high luck stat. I'd says it'd take the power of the goddess of luck to beat him in rock-paper-scissors!
The 'Shire' analogy is pretty much correct. The town where Kazuma resides was a beginner level one, it was supposed to be a very safe town, though for a certain reason there are still high ranked adventurers longing around there.
A bit random perhaps, but for the vitamin discussion at 3:28:45 shouldn't the first step be working out if you are actually deficient in any vitamins? If you aren't then with your body being unable to do anything with it you would just be making expensive pee.
Hi, there is a megumin Spin-off series talking about her backround which gives a lot of info to other characters like yunyun and chomusuke. I highly advise you to watch it, since you enjoy the series that much :)
**Spoiler** Cut content: In the Light novel and manga Kazuma doesn't just pour water down Mitsurugi's throat, he covers his nose and mouth with ice. So Rain and Claire have to rush to save him giving Kazuma and Chris time to escape. Mind you, the whole castle raid is a much longer event in the LN and manga.
1:59:57 "He talks like Vanir talks!" - You're the first reactors I've seen who picked up on that... - Not only that, but in Japanese, Kazuma usually uses the first person pronoun "ore" ( "I"/"me", masculine, informal) but after he started drain-touching castle guards, he referred to himself as "wagahai"... which is a much more uncommon, formal, archaic, gender neutral (possibly pompous? ) first person pronoun.... kind of like the first person equivalent of saying "thy" or "thou"..... > The only person that I know of who uses the word "wagahai" in this anime is Vanir...
How is it possible that even after this season, some people still don't realize that Chris IS Eris?!?!? Eris and Chris are the same person! C'mon, take the hint!
Megumin and Kazuma's new tension feels a bit jarring because they cut some content from the movie (aka: volume 5 of the light novel). I think it was a big mistake, because what happens in the cut content often influences Kazuma's behavior and decisions from that point on. I think the cut content make Kazuma's reactions make more sense.
This is something from old school animes, but there's the trope of the "onii chan". Here just represented as "older brother". usually people like kazuma love that trope and wished to have a "younger sister" so she would call him that. The first time he's resurrected he ask for a family with money and a cute sister for that reason. That's why he's so excited to be called onii chan and dissapointed when called onii sama
It's kind of funny with how you were noticing Megumin's confusing actions towards Kazuma throughout the season. Also how fast Kazuma clarified to her specifically that he bought Darkness not for that reason. Kinda sus
3:38:35 I’m glad I’m not the only who’s confused why he’s there, might be stretch considering it’s Konosuba, maybe he’ll be reintroduced as a noble status 🤔
In LN the noble guy set up marriage for his adopted son so he can switch places with him and kill his old body with the son but Kazuma ruined his plan by stealing scared treasure.noble guy always was a scumbag
To be fair the monster plant girl does help people who are already dying like old people or people with illness The plant girl makes the person more or less sedated and happy until they die
Hi! I started watching your Mushoku Tensei video like a week ago, and i was wondering will you guys watch Season 2 too? Tomorrow it will end, but since you guys got alot to catch up on you can start whenever, watching the first video made me really surprised on either how stupid i was for not noticing stuff, or how smart you guys are for realizing so many things! Still, Mushoku Tensei holds a special place in my heart, so will you guys watch S2 Soon?
Can you react to saiki k ? It's comedy and wholesome anime, it's very good .. I think it also a very good anime for reaction , each episode will not bore you I promise
I love how they both thought that Iris might just be some sadistic and super bitchy girl, but then you just see that she's arguably the most adorable girl in the series xD PS: Megumin *did* get a lot stronger. You guys seem to have missed it at the time, but at the end of the movie, when Megumin was asking Kazuma to use her remaining skill points to learn advanced magic, he instead put all of the skill points into her Explosion magic to boost her even more instead. Which is why these pink circles are now also a part of her magic
Its fun argument about kazuma is boosted by the mask or not. . . But for me boosted or not. kazuma done it twice....day and night... with fullmoon and high noon... with vanir mask and with out. . .
Really liked this season. It highlighted all the characters, but really Lalatina, she needed this as she felt to one note, but here you see she, in her surroundings of nobles, is very capable. But likely also why she tries to desperately stay away from it bc she has to hide her true nature
Darkness wanted to beat th Hydra as a last hurra. She knows she has to leave soon, so she wanted one last adventure. Also Darkness was dangerously close to discovering the other side of domination. And Megumin was ready just destroy a town full of civilians. Also Vanir chad.
I got a theory about Kazuma's Steal, he has high Luck so I think it works 100% of the time for him stealing whatever he wants, it's almost worked about 90% of the time for him in combat, he takes what he wants the most in the moment, when it steals panties is because he wants the most to see their panties, since he's a pervert.
Kazuma steal always get the most precious thing in the target. Spoiler : He steal an important thing that's not his aware of his value in the end of the series.
The way Steal works, is that it targets what the target views as most important. Most girls value their chastity, which translates to their pantsu. Kazuma explicitly tried to target Aqua’s pantsu in the LNs to humiliate her, but he got her party tricks and a sock, because she values them more (Kazuma even spams it, but it’s random.)
![FILMMAKER REACTS: METAL GEAR RISING: REVENGEANCE | [ALL CUTSCENES!!]](/img/n.gif)
3:14:49 So to understand why he cant normally be his full potential is two reasons first he only has limited Mana unless he uses Drain Touch and he cant use that skill publicly (Lich skill), the other reason is his build is fuelled by high luck stat.......which his other party members drags down
Ah so this went over my head at first too because it's been a while but the bubbly going missing in Ep1 makes sense and you are right that there is another person living with them in that mansion. A certain young girl who likes mature things. Remember Aqua's speech in front of the mansion when they first entered back in S1? Remember Kazuma commenting that he did put the in-use sign up on the bath before Darkness entered and that someone pranked them?
Holy shit
wait, who???
@@newyorkcityp7570 It's the ghost in the mansion, Aqua never succeeded in purifying her I guess lmao, so she sometimes steals her drinks and enjoys it cause Aqua buys em expensive stuff
@@leverite6127its not that she failed. she purposefully didn’t purify her
The young girl is named Anna Filante Esteroid/Asteroid and Aqua explicitly didn’t purify her because she’s an innocent girl and there was a short story referencing her in this LN (LN 7.)
god bless this wonderful format
I think many people missed the fact that the skeleton under the plant girl is actually an reincarnated sent by aqua that's why aqua recognized the mallet
Most reincarnations would be super-vulnerable to the Tranquility Plant's attacks: They're all fueled by heroism, romanticized adventuring, and simping. Add on the location being a rarely-used highway leading to a monk hermitage, and few people (and no reincarnations) would be going there just to be caustic, selfish, and apathetic.
Kazuma's Detect Threats skill-sets are also Thief-only (and his class can grab any skill, albeit at a premium in skill point cost), which isn't going to be a population reincarnation class, so most wouldn't even get the warning. And even he fell enough to spare the monster once.
Probably one of the scariest monsters in the setting, really.
Dumb aqua often forget😅
Kazuma was always a good rogue and tactician. It was just never displayed fully in the anime, especially during Season 1,where he developed his spell combos. His tactical mind was also in display when he temporarily joined Dust's party, and turned a surprisingly hard mission into a manageable one (also in Season 1).
Also, Aldarp's plan was far more sinister than we've seen. I believe he was planning, at first, to switch bodies with his son once Darkness marries him, but we know what happened. So he gave the Body Switching relic to the First Prince, and began promoting having the Prince marry Darkness, and switch with him, making him the future king as well. I wouldn't be too surprised if he switched with Iris either and use her body as well.
Kazuma, Eris (using Cris), and Aqua, directed by Vanir, sunk that plan completely.
Spoiler warning, please.
Yeah, I can definitely see the dude "cutting his loses" and swapping with Iris if his plan for Darkness to marry the First Prince didn't work out. Thankfully it didn't come to that.
adding to Aldarps sinister plan, in the light novel, he is also more or less an evil version of kazuma. it was hinted when Aldarp was with Kazuma in the hidden room with the magic mirror. so yes they are both perverts but there is more. in the novel, it is also said that Aldarp has a very high luck strat and above average intelligence, just like Kazuma. the summoning item also summons random monsters, as stated in the anime. but aldarp happened to be so lucky that he got Maxwell, who turned out the source of his wealth and power.
and ofc dispite them being rather similar, they end up realy different. even Darkness can't stand Aldarp even tho he would fullfill her desires she regulary mentions. but she loves her time with Kazuma
**Maxwell is revealed to be a DEMON from hell**
Wes: “Yes! I knew it! So he is a GENIE! I was totally right!” 🤣
Kinda was like one if that's how the pig scum was able to have all that power.
Vanir doesn't like killing people as he gets nourishment from people suffering emotionally (he loves embarrassment and shame), and dead people are not capable of doing that
He mentions in Season 2, that his main goal behind helping in Wiz's shop is to gain enough money for Wiz to create an elaborate and powerful Dungeon for him to reside over, and then sit on a huge treasure box while being challenged, and then after a powerful group of Adventurers finally beat him, and open the Treasure Chest, for it to only say "You lose", and he wants to pass on with that feeling of shame, embarrassment being his "last meal" before dying
Actually Vanir doesn't have a deathwish anymore....He wanted to die in Season 2 because he had gotten tired of just existing for the sake of maintaining the Devil King's Barrier.......dying was his escape, because he has multiple lives....
aqua isn't drinking more because she gating worse she drinking more because they have money finally 😂
😂😂😂😂😂
she can't really 'drink' anyway, that's mostly just her suggestion. All water she touched get purified into just water thanks to her holy-ness, and she has no control over it.
@@aidanjanemcintosh6919 her power only works on water and not alcohol
I liked how since the Moment we knew about Darkness Situation, Megumin was often shown running through town and talking about beeing the crazy explosion girl, i felt like she tried to make herself scarier, since she planned to that from the start. She wanted to blow up the church or at least be convincing in her act. She literally made herself look crazier than she actually is. I love Megumins character very much :)
Btw fyi, Vanir mask didn't do anything. It's just buff Kazuma Confident.
So yes. Kazuma is THAT good. And he's so considerate, in the LN there's explanation that if He beat Mitsurugi, the whole kingdom guards mental gonna go down and treat him immedeatly.
And also if you wondering "is general king is like vanir all of them"
the answer is..... No.
Vanir is duke of Hell while Demon King is just on earth. Demon got into earth with summon and contract, you should watch and comprehend Megumin spin off to get that.
Kazuma trashing the guards which the majority of them are also reincarnated was so badass. And Mitsurugi was let off easily in the amine. The LN was way more brutal
I always figured Kazuma's improved performance is because of his proximity to Chris, the Goddess of Luck.
@@ozwell1088 More importantly he wasnt with Aqua tanking his luck
@@suya3818 I thought so, I imagined something like that would just burst your internal organs
Vanir literally said the mask improves your skills under a full moon, he is not bad but the mask buffed him
FINALLY YOU REACT THISSS! I'M SUPER EXCITED!!!! 🎉🎉
In the light novel and manga Vanir explains the effects of the mask aren't that big of a deal. The anime tried to make it look like Kazuma got better because of the mask simply because they've cut most of the content that shows Kazuma being competent (since they were trying to keep the goofball image). But in the LN and manga he occasionally uses his skills to confuse or disable enemies (specially using smart combos of basic magic), it's just that magic and strength are too low to kill big monsters by himself. At the time he gets into the castle he also has the flee skill that allows him to run away from enemies easier.
Yeah, Kazuma is not Rudeus Greyrat, haha... Well, I guess they are similar in a way at first, since Kazuma is the kind of person who has never experienced love and doesn't understand it. When he said marrying Darkness was a punishment, he really meant it, haha (especially since he is obsessed with having a harem). It really takes a whole lot of time and effort for him to fall in love with a girl and admit it. Anyway, the anime has only covered 7 volumes of the light novel. There's 10 more to go...
Really loving the Konosuba reactions!
Thank you for another great reaction
In the Light Novel, not only did Kazuma force feed Mitzuguri water but he also froze the water in his throat
It's fun to see that all the questions they asked will eventually have an answer in the series, and they make so much sense.
The bit at the end though!
I knew all along that Wes was the big tiddy guild girl we all needed!
First, and I’d like to say that this is peak.
I hope they realize about Kazuma's condition in a certain episode....you know what I meant..."mask"
@@eizy1010What are you talking about? There is no condition and this video is all of the episodes. There’s also nothing with the mask, so I don’t know what you mean.
@@cranesilentlyplays8084 He's referencing Kazuma's "top" condition
the body guard Claire has an affinity for, well let's just say when it comes to Iris she's what Child Rudeus was like.
As for Kazuma's boost in strength, well in the books he's actually really skillful, he's a jack-of-all-trades master of none type fighter. i think at one point (it was skipped) he traded parties with Dust (the guy who he took pics of in the girls' underwear) and he was seen as a massive help with his plans and skills meanwhile Dust did not have a great time. though it's been a while since I've read that part so i might be misremembering details.
the fight in the castle is actually way more epic, him using things earth and wind skills to create dust storms, he actually dealt with the mage girl by sniping the stone on her staff and he froze the water he put in Mitsarugis mouth causing them to help him immediately, all the while they are running through the halls of the castle instead of standing in a big room.
it's probably his party that holds him back because while they are a big help in specific situations, their well let's call it defects, cause a big disturbance in any plan he can create. Hes defintily no god killer don't get it twisted but he's competent when he doesn't have to play babysitter.
**Spoiler** I guess?... and Cut content:
Anyway, you got one thing right, in the light novel Darkness for a long time seems to represent sexual attraction, while Megumin represents a more innocent love (specially as time passes. The anime hasn't even reached the middle of the story. And even then, it already has cut a bit of Kazuma and Megumin's interactions, which makes the whole thing feel even a lot more sudden...).
When someone is very happy in an anime like this, we can expect something very hilarious or tragic to happen next. In the case of this group, both at the same time.
Man you guys are putting out one after another with long vids. Looking forward to next reaction while I finish this one on my second monitor while working.
Edit: You guys has the same reaction as me of thinking the video freeze when Kazuma was dead and got sent to Eris and in restaurant scene with Aqua.
That insurance bit made me laugh way more than it should have!
In the source material after the Crimson Demon Village arc Megumin begins to refer to Kazuma as "her man" and decided herself that they were now in the beginning of dating.
Now we gotta wait another 4 or 5 years for s4
I NEEED IT ASAP!!!!
ROMCOM SEASON FR
Yeeeeeeeeeeeeees, been waiting for this.
Supplementary info and LN changes (Very long comment warning, since it’s an entire Season/2 LNs of lore and changes.)
The first episode is anime original for the most part and the rest was cut from the movie (the Tranquility Girl, the campfire scene was on the way to the village, and the letter from Iris, with everything else, including the mallet and Sylvia, being anime original.) 3:05 - Megumin is 14, but in this world, she can already get married (a plot point from the movie) and she can drink alcohol (Kazuma’s just being overprotective and she got alcohol at the end of LN 6/S3E6.) It still wasn’t adapted, but Kazuma’s backstory was revealed when Megumin held his hand, as he had nostalgia and implied that she was like his childhood friend that promised to marry him, but he got NTR’d by a senpai and she rode on his bike, which he got PTSD and became a HikiNEET, eventually being forgotten irl, but popular online in games.) 11:05 - Cut from the movie was the third night and extra day, where Megumin claimed Kazuma as her man in front of Dodonko, Funifura, and Yun Yun, promised to get him chocolates on Valentine’s Day, and confessed for the first time saying that she likes him (it was built up since LN 1, but the anime cut all the bonding/romance and Kazuma doesn’t like Darkness romantically, it’s just a physical attraction, as he said early on in the LN that he’s grossed out by her masochism, which is her defining trait.) In Episode 2, Claire wore a white suit the entire LN/Season and her nickname is ‘White Suit,’ the counterpart of Darkness and her Symphonia Family is the Sword of the Kingdom of Belzerg, while Dustiness Family is the Shield (Iris had Darkness as a childhood friend, due to politics, which is why they’re close.) 34:00 - Iris did this because she didn’t want to speak to commoners, as she’s a Royal (she actually did say exactly what Claire and Rain told them, as Iris is the Gaki/Brat archetype, at that time.) 36:45 - Claire meant it, as she genuinely wanted to use his knowledge/tactics to improve the knights and acknowledged him as a hero at the time, since he took down multiple Generals, something not even cheat users have done yet (only later she becomes more sadistic and mean, as she kept getting let down by Kazuma, despite giving him tons of chances.) She actually made Darkness bleed more, yet she aimed to cut through the wrist (Claire Field Symphonia is based on Snow, from Combatants Will be Dispatched! and Iris is based on Alice from Combatants, too.)
Episode 3 has a reference to KonoBakuen (I’ll mention it when you react to KonoBakuen) and Rain Sky Coleslaw wanted Kazuma to treat her normally, because she’s a lesser noble, but Kazuma was too weary and used honorifics (also a Black Butler reference when Sebastian is mentioned.) Episode 4 has another KonoBakuen and a short story reference, where Megumin goes on Explosion dates. In the LN, it’s ambiguous where he touched Chris, but the illustration showed him tickling her on the bed. The ring from Mitsurugi had a joke, where Aqua made it vanish, despite it being able to adjust (later Aqua tried to do the same to Iris’s ring that Kazuma stole, but he protected it.) 1:24:15 - They said ‘yobai,’ which is basically a night raid/night crawling, an ancient Japanese ritual where guys could court single women (or sometimes married women) with knowledge from the family or village. In episode 5, the fight is an inversion of the cut Party Swap chapter from S1, where he carried Dust’s Party against 30-ish Goblins and a Rookie Killer and he’s revealed to be less than Lvl. 20, while everyone else are Lvl. 30-ish and after they returned to their bodies, Megumin helped Kazuma by beating up the thugs by herself, after he gave her mana (she let Iris fight because her stats are insanely high and would win, even in his body.) 1:40:36 - She already recovered and was stalling to spend more time with him. 1:42:25 - They tried in the LN, but all it did was glow, so they had to wait for it to end.
1:46:58 - Claire is a lolicon, so she’s bi (Kazuma’s also a lolicon, but they cut his statement from Episode 2, where he wanted a little sister so much, that he tried to split his parents apart and for them to remarry, so he could have a non-blood related little sister, which was the first time they beat him up and no, none of the nobles nor the princess are related.) Episode 6 had Claire be a lot meaner and sadistic than the anime (the nobles also said that Kazuma should be split from his Party and Claire gave solutions to how his Party can be useful without him), putting Kazuma in his lowest point in life, Kazuma got caught by stealing a dirty magazine from the treasury, he didn’t fight Claire, but he spammed Create Earth and Windbreath, Bind, Steal, and Drain, making the knights think that he was comparable to Crimson Demons and no one could catch them due to having the Escape skill active, Kazuma grabbed Mitsurugi’s face and used Create Water down his throat, then froze it with Freeze to suffocate him, and Kazuma used Snipe to break Rain’s staff, as she was instructed by Claire to kill them (Aqua could revive them.) 1:56:44 - Only in the anime, since a lot of his perverted thoughts are internal and they made him more perverted and obnoxious in the anime, as he’s the Tsukkomi (Straight man, usually) in the LN and is a bit more focused/serious, except when he gets carried away and gets karma. 2:00:04 - Nope, it’s all Kazuma, as Kazuma stated in the LN that it just gave him clearer thinking and he did similar stuff in the Party Swap chapter, with less Skills and lower stats (the Vanir impersonation is anime original and there was never a hint in the LN that Vanir could possess the mass produced masks and regular people have them in town, which Vanir would never hurt regular humans/civilians and Vanir and Wiz appearing in the village in the movie are anime original, including the second phase of Sylvia’s fight.) There was also a scene of Claire crushing on the masked thief and wanted him to be on the side of good, so Claire is the second bi character in this series and Iris references ‘Exterion,’ which is one of her skills. 2:13:52 - Iris knew, but she wanted to prank Kazuma, because she’s the brat archetype. Fun fact: the WN released (Dec. 2012 - Oct. 2013) before Persona 5 was announced (Nov. 24, 2013) and LN 6 (March 1, 2014) was released before Persona 5 released (September 15, 2016.) The title of LN 6 is a parody of Rokka no Yuusha/Rokka: Heroes of the Six Flowers (Rokka no Oujo/Princess of the Six Flowers) and the first LN without a new Demon General/fight against one.
Episode 7 had Vanir reference LN 3’s epilogue/S2, where he told Kazuma about Darkness’ fate here, all the way back then and Darkness left because of Alderp’s butler and where she accepted Alderp’s subjugation of the Hydra, which is why Darkness wanted to kill the hydra (also had a rant about Chomusuke, wanting her to become a cat girl, like his manga.) 2:25:27 - KonoBakuen reference. 2:37:27 - The 8th episode had Eris reference the death screen for Dragon Quest and explained how powerful the Hydra was, that it’s a tradition for the kingdom knights to put it to sleep every time it wakes up and that no one could kill it, and that it tanked Explosion, which is mansion sized now (Darkness was also bloody because she cut into it to free Kazuma and Kazuma lost his tool, so Aqua said he became Mrs Kazuma/Kazuma-chan), Rin had her first lines, since the Party Swap was cut from S1, and Darkness left to Alderp and didn’t return for days, instead of the note, and the Party didn’t eat because they waited with the crab from S1 to celebrate and Kazuma learned the Cooking Skill offscreen. 2:43:52 - No, Megumin honestly meant that because she already told him (in LN 5/the movie) that she likes him. 2:58:04 - They’re staying because of the Succubi Cafe and why all the guys fought Destroyer in S1. For context of Episode 9, Dust joined Kazuma’s Party temporarily and they went on a quest with other parties to protect a farm, Kazuma projected Darkness on Rin and why he chose to help Dust because of this and his PTSD as a child, Norris’ first name is Chuck, so Darkness has a guard named Chuck Norris, Kazuma knew that Darkness was vulnerable and why he distracted her with the abs comment and Kazuma moved his hand to her abs because she lacks experience, Kazuma fought Darkness with Drain Touch and other skills and won, and Ignis (Darkness’s dad told Kazuma that he looked into Alderp and everything else, so he knew he wasn’t poisoned or anything by him.) 3:02:07 - She’s not wearing a tanuki tail, it’s real and she’s self-conscious about it.
3:18:58 - It’s a cautionary tale that an ideal fantasy, doesn’t always fit with reality, especially regarding fetishes like masochism (she was ok with marrying him when she was younger, but Kazuma changed her outlook on life/her dream as a knight and friendships.) In S1, there was supposed to be the Party Swap chapter where Kazuma swapped with Dust because he was being a drunk jerk after the Dullahan fight (Kazuma carried the entire party, despite them being Intermediate level, by using Lurk and his non-damaging Basic Magic to avoid/blind the Rookie Killer and helped easily defeat the 30-ish Goblin army and gained a relationship with Rin and the others, which is why she’s nicer to Kazuma and didn’t get mad at him and why Keith helped him learn his Archer skills, showing his cool side without his Party and Dust failed a similar quest with the girls.) 3:23:54 - When Megumin confesses in Episode 10, this is actually the second time, as she said it first in LN 5 (cut from the movie) and Kazuma was flustered here and Megumin wasn’t manipulating him and meant it, because she did it again in the LN, before Kazuma has his outburst about caring about Darkness (Kazuma distracted her from him being flustered, by showing her a boxing bag prototype and she used his knife to cut into it.) Unlike the anime, Kazuma was making all this stuff in prep for Vanir and knew Vanir wanted the info, even giving Japanese farming info/everything he knew (Kazuma and Ignis did everything to investigate Alderp but found no evidence and his abused ex-wives wouldn’t say anything, so even the kingdom couldn’t help and Iris couldn’t intervene between 2 consenting adults, so it was all fated for Vanir to be the only option.) 3:32:41 - He’s just a butler and won’t go against his dying master, so he couldn’t do anything, on top of Maxwell interfering effectively against fate/reality itself. 3:36:07 - The guard for Darkness had a backstory and became Darkness’s childhood playmate, because her mom died and her previous playmate went away, so he planned on retiring after Darkness married. 3:38:34 - It’s just a gag you’re not meant to think hard about, since he’s an anime only character/glorified extra (the VA is well-known, same as Luna, but she eventually was added to the LNs much later.) We get Alderp’s PoV in the LN for episode 11, which he was creeped out by Maxwell and found that odd, since he gets along with people the more time he spends around them.
He also explains how Maxwell’s power is to manipulate events/memories, but the power is weaker in a church (due to what he did and said to Darkness, despite being a lesser noble than her, he wanted Maxwell to change everyone’s memories and was going to execute Kazuma, but was stopped from leaving when Maxwell said that he couldn’t and that was the first time.) Alderp had payed the price many times before, but Maxwell’s bad memories (he had a hole in his head in the LN, but that’s unrelated to his normal bad memory) let Alderp continue to do this (unlike the anime, this was foreshadowed in LN 3, where Aqua could sense Maxwell’s power when Alderp used it on Sena and the judge to get Kazuma executed and called it out and people believed her, until she mentioned that she was a Goddess/follower number and the lie detector item rang and the people threw her out of the court.) Alderp has been doing this since before the series started and is also responsible for other things (he was going to use the body swap treasure on his son, when the marriage succeeded in S2/LN 3 and would kill his own son, but it failed and then prepared his plan for S3/LN 6 to swap with the prince and kill him and marry Darkness that way.) Not so fun fact: in the Web Novel (not the LN) Alderp’s exes all looked exactly like Darkness, so he partially succeeded and he was going after Darkness since she was a child, despite failing each time. Alderp ordered Maxwell to kill Vanir, but Maxwell was confused since Vanir is his kin (Vanir adds that Maxwell came from another world without his memories and that he is his kin and says that Alderp only got this far in life due to his only strong point: Luck, since Alderp is meant to be Kazuma if he was a terrible noble and that’s why the Demon Summoning treasure picked Maxwell.) Alderp cowardly says that he wouldn’t have done any of this if Vanir just wanted Maxwell back, but Vanir did this because this gave more negative emotions to Vanir and would die for this many (he also didn’t have a wig to take off.) In the LN, Maxwell broke both of Alderp’s arms and held them in front of him and Vanir told him to take him back to hell to pay off the debt slowly, which Alderp tries to bargain with his wealth, but Vanir says that it would be confiscated to House Dustiness and Kazuma would get all his money back, as well as the town and the kingdom (he tried to use his staff, instead of family, in the LN.) Lastly, Alderp tries to bargain with Maxwell that he apologizes and that he doesn’t hate him… which Vanir was waiting for, as Maxwell likes him and wants him to stay by his side forever in hell and enjoy his despair day and night and this was why Alderp couldn’t like the Devil as he was so terrified that he prayed to god for the first time (‘I will cherish you, Alderp! Unlike the girls you abandoned after abducting them, I will take care not to break you!’ were the last words from Maxwell, before Alderp was dragged to hell forever as Maxwell laughed the whole time, a fate worse than death.) Also, Maxwell’s power also affected Darkness and why she agreed to the debt in the first place (as well as every action she made and not telling anyone.)
There’s another epilogue that was cut, which is likely moved to S4, so watch out for people trying to spoil it. 4:06:54 - Dukes of Hell are just powerful demons that aren’t a part of the Demon King’s army, but Vanir was also a General keeping the barrier up. Extra info from the author and Kazuma: both hate Harem, with Kazuma’s reasoning being that it’s too much trouble (also his PTSD, which is why he’s a coward, as he doesn’t want to get hurt again.) Each LN focuses on a main character and it rotates, with Iris’ debut breaking the rotation (S1/LN 1: Aqua, LN 2: Megumin, S2/LN 3: Darkness, LN 4: Aqua, movie/LN 5: Megumin, S3/LN 6: Iris, and LN 7: Darkness.) Tranquility Girl is a monster that old people go to eat it’s fruit to pass away in peace and are harmless because it has the strength of a little girl (the stump is also the body, so it can’t move.) Recap: no Demon Generals were fought/this was the first Season without a Demon General encountered/fought and we dealt with 2 Divine Treasures after starting this side plotline, with 5/8 Generals defeated/encountered and 2 Treasures that aren’t Gram, this Season. No announcement for S4, Continued! KonoBakuen series, Dust’s Spin-off series, or Vanir Spin-off yet and this is the end of LN 7: Okusenman no Hanayome/110 Million Bride (parody of Seto no Hanayome/My Bride is A Mermaid.) The VAs for Iris, Claire, and Rain were first used for the gacha and reprised their roles, just like the characters from KonoBakuen (they were both made at around the same time and announced at the same stream.)
Fun fact: the author was told to give up as an author by a teacher, but they didn’t give up and now they have a multimedia franchise and an ‘Akatsuki-verse’ of stories in a shared universe/multiverse (?) with Konosuba, Combatants Will be Dispatched!, and Kemono Michi. Maxwell is apparently a reference to the Maxwell Demon, which is very on the nose for the Duke of Hell and was in the WN and LN before Mahito from JJK was a thing. Sylvia was given extra scenes with the movie and S3 E1, when she died in the LN permanently and was turned into Magic Resistance gear, when Komekko shot her with the Rail gun in the movie. Just to inform the popularity of characters: Megumin, Eris, and Iris are the 3 most popular characters in the entire series and KazuMegu and everything related is the most popular things that the entire worldwide fanbase likes (Iris wasn’t even in the anime yet and barely had screentime.) Current ages for Konosuba characters (it has not been a year since Kazuma arrived, yet): Aqua (???/physically 16), Chris (15), Claire (older than Darkness), Darkness (18), Dust (18), Iris (12), Kazuma (16), Megumin (14), Rain (around Darkness’s age), and Rin (15.) We are at LN 7 out of 17 LNs and the spin-offs. Sorry for the long comment, but it is 11 episodes of missing lore/changes (also, a lot of the changes for having less cool/serious Kazuma moments and the Party Swap, is because the director doesn’t want Kazuma to have them/wants Kazuma to be humiliated/treated as a joke.)
@@cranesilentlyplays8084 One question you can probably answer. When Kazuma rewrote Megumins adventurer card so she kept her explosion, did he optimize it? As in, different skills that benefit the spell more than just throwing all points into the spell itself?
@@DomSithe I'm not him, but the novel says he "put all her skill points into increasing the power of her explosion" which implies the points go directly into the spell, it's also elaborated in a later volume that you can use skill points to increase the casting speed of spells, so it seems like there's an upgrade tree sort of thing built into different skills.
@@Tubular_dude_20y_ago yeah, i assumed the skill tree kind of idea because there is a visible increase in her power post kazuma update. Always kind of chalked it up to him being a gamer and just knowing how to optimize things like that.
YOU IS KONOSUBA BIGGEST FAN LOVE YOU MAN
Omg so soon! Love these reactions!
1:33:42 I was hoping this scene was obvious enough that it’d finally dawn on them that Eris is Chris… but nope.
In a way, It’s nice this way
@@tana1464 Not picking up on it in S1, sure. Not picking up on it in S2, maybe. STILL not picking up on it in S3 despite the anime making it EXTREMELY obvious, not so much, IMO.
So, fun fact - the 'items' that the reincarnated receive can only be used by them. So, because Kazuma chose Aqua as his 'item', she actually becomes MORE useless when he's not around. It also explains why she only really gets along with Kazuma despite being basically worshipped by Mitsurugi.
I can't wait for the Mushoku Tensei reaction!!
I don't know what was better in this season, Megumin's explorgasm or the fact that still no one knows that obvious Eris' secret
Yooo i was waiting for this thanks for the reaction
1:34:07 I just realized something! The similarities... And Kazuma has a very high luck stat. I'd says it'd take the power of the goddess of luck to beat him in rock-paper-scissors!
How did you not notice till this point?
Spoiler warning, please.
Their names are another clue. In the book Kazuma figures it out in the epilogue of the chapter this season is based on.
@@cranesilentlyplays8084 sorry. It was just a theory but from the comments here... Still! mind blown!
Wooo finally you guys reacted to it. Kazuma really showed his popular phase here.
And that Vanir bit, bro came in clutch
The 'Shire' analogy is pretty much correct. The town where Kazuma resides was a beginner level one, it was supposed to be a very safe town, though for a certain reason there are still high ranked adventurers longing around there.
Just recently watched your reaction to the movie so seeing this come up made my day
A bit random perhaps, but for the vitamin discussion at 3:28:45 shouldn't the first step be working out if you are actually deficient in any vitamins? If you aren't then with your body being unable to do anything with it you would just be making expensive pee.
Traditional Japanese Baths would/will often use fruits to help scent the bath water, such as Oranges, lemons and even flower petals.
Hi, there is a megumin Spin-off series talking about her backround which gives a lot of info to other characters like yunyun and chomusuke. I highly advise you to watch it, since you enjoy the series that much :)
We are right now!!
crazy how i just finished watching this season yesterday
You guys so active, like it
right when i was about to sleep 😭
welpt time to watch this when i wake up tomorrow LMAAO
So true
**Spoiler** Cut content:
In the Light novel and manga Kazuma doesn't just pour water down Mitsurugi's throat, he covers his nose and mouth with ice. So Rain and Claire have to rush to save him giving Kazuma and Chris time to escape. Mind you, the whole castle raid is a much longer event in the LN and manga.
2:13:53 ah yes, the true and tested tactic of lying
Can see you guys having the most fun with FOOD WARS
I would also recommend you watch re:zero they have the same concept as konosuba and i am certain you'll enjoy the series as well
1:59:57 "He talks like Vanir talks!"
- You're the first reactors I've seen who picked up on that...
- Not only that, but in Japanese, Kazuma usually uses the first person pronoun "ore" ( "I"/"me", masculine, informal) but after he started drain-touching castle guards, he referred to himself as "wagahai"... which is a much more uncommon, formal, archaic, gender neutral (possibly pompous? ) first person pronoun.... kind of like the first person equivalent of saying "thy" or "thou".....
> The only person that I know of who uses the word "wagahai" in this anime is Vanir...
How is it possible that even after this season, some people still don't realize that Chris IS Eris?!?!? Eris and Chris are the same person! C'mon, take the hint!
i just about to eat and thank you for this video i dont have to search on netflix to watch😂
Megumin and Kazuma's new tension feels a bit jarring because they cut some content from the movie (aka: volume 5 of the light novel). I think it was a big mistake, because what happens in the cut content often influences Kazuma's behavior and decisions from that point on. I think the cut content make Kazuma's reactions make more sense.
Hey, you missed the WHOLE SEASON about Megumin - KonoSuba Bakuen An Explosion on This Wonderful World! Should have watched it before Season 3
They said will react to that next don't worry. Also the megumin spinoff is only really important for a certain character that will appear in season 4.
@@YuiYuuVTTechnically 3 people, since the anime cut the epilogue from S2.
That Prequel is why I'm very sure we are getting a season 4, otherwise there is no reason to animate it in the first place!
aqua always laughs like a hamster from hamtaro
just incase yall havnt realized cris is eris
Can we expect a season 2 mushoku tensei soon? Since the last episode dropping this week?
ngl but 3:44:11 so beautiful in LN but anime make it funny
i like both
Lol when Wes's genie theory kinda got confirmed at the end
I love that Konosuba has made you guys paranoid of any character that seems sweet and normal now 😂
This is something from old school animes, but there's the trope of the "onii chan". Here just represented as "older brother". usually people like kazuma love that trope and wished to have a "younger sister" so she would call him that. The first time he's resurrected he ask for a family with money and a cute sister for that reason. That's why he's so excited to be called onii chan and dissapointed when called onii sama
It's kind of funny with how you were noticing Megumin's confusing actions towards Kazuma throughout the season. Also how fast Kazuma clarified to her specifically that he bought Darkness not for that reason. Kinda sus
3:38:35 I’m glad I’m not the only who’s confused why he’s there, might be stretch considering it’s Konosuba, maybe he’ll be reintroduced as a noble status 🤔
I will wait for mushoku tensei
Yoo I just finished the Delicious in Dungeon series (season 2 confirmed!) and was wondering when Konosuba 3 will show up. The timing is impeccable.
finally less go
Sad part is there's a lot of idiots out there that would pay to get drooled on by Darkness.
Edit: Wait just a damn minute...
In LN the noble guy set up marriage for his adopted son so he can switch places with him and kill his old body with the son but Kazuma ruined his plan by stealing scared treasure.noble guy always was a scumbag
EARLY GAMG🎉
Sebastian butler is the overlord reference ... maybe only Overlord Fans would know. (me) :D 52:31
I'm waiting for mushoku tensei ss2 guys
You two should watch Re Zero
Its one of my favourite anime of all time
I just watch one season it's too hard to watch
Josie the tiger and the fish
Next Try Anime 86,its Goat Anime
Yes bro I hate military anime but this anime is whole some
see you all agian in like 5-7 year for season 4
Have you reacted to "Boku no Kokoro no Yabai Yastsu" (or "Dangers in My Heart")?
To be fair the monster plant girl does help people who are already dying like old people or people with illness
The plant girl makes the person more or less sedated and happy until they die
What if you use the body swapping artifact and then kill one body before it automatically swap back. Would you stay for ever in the body?
Hi! I started watching your Mushoku Tensei video like a week ago, and i was wondering will you guys watch Season 2 too? Tomorrow it will end, but since you guys got alot to catch up on you can start whenever, watching the first video made me really surprised on either how stupid i was for not noticing stuff, or how smart you guys are for realizing so many things! Still, Mushoku Tensei holds a special place in my heart, so will you guys watch S2 Soon?
We have been on Patreon!!! We’re 99% caught up there. When wesley gets it edited we’ll get it here too :)
@@wesandsteph2822 Ok Thanks!
Can you react to saiki k ? It's comedy and wholesome anime, it's very good .. I think it also a very good anime for reaction , each episode will not bore you I promise
I love how they both thought that Iris might just be some sadistic and super bitchy girl, but then you just see that she's arguably the most adorable girl in the series xD
PS: Megumin *did* get a lot stronger. You guys seem to have missed it at the time, but at the end of the movie, when Megumin was asking Kazuma to use her remaining skill points to learn advanced magic, he instead put all of the skill points into her Explosion magic to boost her even more instead. Which is why these pink circles are now also a part of her magic
Its fun argument about kazuma is boosted by the mask or not. . . But for me boosted or not. kazuma done it twice....day and night... with fullmoon and high noon... with vanir mask and with out. . .
they dropped it 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 was waiting for this
Really liked this season. It highlighted all the characters, but really Lalatina, she needed this as she felt to one note, but here you see she, in her surroundings of nobles, is very capable.
But likely also why she tries to desperately stay away from it bc she has to hide her true nature
She wasn’t one note in the LNs and it was all foreshadowed, but the anime cut a bunch of the serious stuff.
Early watch nice
That flan sushi thing I believe is a joke about a nonsense food hack that by pouring soy sauce on flan it will taste like uni (sea urchin).
LEZGOOOo!!!
Darkness wanted to beat th Hydra as a last hurra.
She knows she has to leave soon, so she wanted one last adventure.
Also Darkness was dangerously close to discovering the other side of domination.
And Megumin was ready just destroy a town full of civilians.
Also Vanir chad.
waiting for haikyu S2.... pls upload soon.
also if liked the way story plays out , i suggest watching 'Diamond no Ace'
Guys the demon slayer s4 is finished i recommend you guys watch it, its really good
I got a theory about Kazuma's Steal, he has high Luck so I think it works 100% of the time for him stealing whatever he wants, it's almost worked about 90% of the time for him in combat, he takes what he wants the most in the moment, when it steals panties is because he wants the most to see their panties, since he's a pervert.
Kazuma steal always get the most precious thing in the target.
Spoiler :
He steal an important thing that's not his aware of his value in the end of the series.
Due to his high luck he always gets the most valuable thing for him, and that is usually panties
The way Steal works, is that it targets what the target views as most important. Most girls value their chastity, which translates to their pantsu. Kazuma explicitly tried to target Aqua’s pantsu in the LNs to humiliate her, but he got her party tricks and a sock, because she values them more (Kazuma even spams it, but it’s random.)
Can you, please, react to Yakusoku no Neverland (The Promised Neverland)? You're both amazing!
Yesss!
Ohh wow, they upload our Damegami now, i thought they wanna do it in 1/2 month later after finish
I recommend reacting to an anime called to your eternity, I swear you won't regret it xD.
11:50 funny you should say that because per Flamme definition of what a demon is she clearly is one
Watch out in the comments section as many people are spoiling something for S4, without a spoiler warning.
Please react to saiki k❤, that's anime are really good. I think you guys will love it
Ep. 9 really funny..
Really love your reactions! Literally so awesome.
Will you guys do a Re:zero reaction?
Hell no bro the first season is too hard to watch
Let’s goooo
Eris is Cris
