      To reafirm this statement about Aqua:
      - Since she IS the goddess of water, all her offensive abilities have the attribute of water-element. Since the Frogs are completely immune to water, it does not show how strong Aqua is, cause:
      - Aqua has max stats from the beginning (except Luck and Int). She has crazy good stats and could best people in strength, speed, dexterity etc. but since she does not want that, she usually never uses her insanely good stats to any advantage (except maybe Holyness).
      - When Aqua casts a spell with the label "sacred" she is boosting her spells with holyness property, which boosts the damage drastically cause of her status as a goddess.

    Funnily enough, Kazuma’s party is actually perfectly balanced from an MMO perspective. They have Darkness, an Unbreakable Tank that would never allow anyone else to be harmed or shirk her damage soaking responsibilities. You have Aqua, someone fully willing to stay in the back and heal everyone (and even has the ability to draw aggro of low level mobs to farm XP by using her AOE Super Effective holy attacks). Finally you have Megumin, someone who can do massive damage attacks from a distance. You have Kazuma, the tactician and Damage dealer who can utilize hide skills like Lurk, debilitating skills like Steal, and deal constant damage using things like the bow or his sword. He can also utilize Wiz’ Mana Drain ability to siphon Mana from Aqua and give it to Megumin to fuel the next attack or just get her back on her feet enough to run away. They genuinely have a perfect theoretical Party balance. It just falls apart in practice.

      The problem is that Darkness can do No harm to the enemies, she's great at soaking attacks but has zero offense. Aqua meanwhile has plenty of power... but requires handholding and firm micro-managing by someone with actual brains to know what to do in a battle and her offense is frankly not her strong suit unless you are facing undead. Megumi then does provide a mighty spell blast... once per day... but has zero damage output outside of that one spell and becomes a limp noodle person requiring someone else to carry her around afterwards. Kazuma is thus left to shoulder the roles of both strategic and tactical leadership as well as often being the only damage dealer in the party while, build-wise, having to spec to lean into his exceptional luck attribute (cause all his other attributes, other than intelligence which is so-so, are meh). And luck-rogues are not exactly consistent in their performance so anytime he slips up.... Well not much to fall back on.
      There's a reason why both Darkness and Megumi could not find a party willing to take them other than Kaz and Aqua. It's possible a different party would be willing to put up with Aqua since if you can just have someone tell her what to do (and get her to listen which would be the tricky part) she's perfectly useful. But putting all of them together you have a party that has a remarkably unbalanced setup. Their mage is a one shot burst damage, literally. Their tank is a meatshield and that's pretty much it. Their cleric is overpowered but has horrible luck (Karma possibly?) and a crippling lack of common sense.
      In fact, there's a bit in the manga/novels where Kaz and the leader of a different party swap for a quest, so their leader has to handle Darkness, Megumi and Aqua... not realizing that their high tier classes dont tell the whole story.... While Kaz takes charge of the other party's who while lacking the superior classes and lop-sided trait/builds of the girls... are only held back by their leader being a little too hung up on stats and thinking inside the box. Kazuma winds up impressing the other party with his leadership and making the most out of their various skills and abilities for the quest they ask him to stay as the leader permanently. The other leader meanwhile... Lets just say he found out why you should be careful what you wish for ^^;
      So nah, their party is balanced only in theory when looking at what their classes and talents Should let them do. In practice they are unbalanced in ways only the best tabletop rpg parties can get.

      @@jackofclubs6229 Totally correct. In terms of raw power none of the other partymembers, even megumi, come out ahead of Aqua's literally divine power base. But her utter and crippling lack of common sense has her picking feats/perks like "party trick" and other stuff that just isnt useful... In short buildwise she's got monstrous stats but a crap build which leaves her with an arch-priest's nuke like power against undead and the like, strong healing and purification abilities and as long as its vulnerable to water magic she can pack a serious punch.... But unfortunately her ability to leverage that power in anything but ideal circumstances (and even then she sometimes needs Kaz to point out the obvious to her) leaves her yet another member of the team that has ISSUES that prevent them from being a powerhouse.

    The two characters named Kieth and dust are from a story that the anime skipped. One of my favorites too. That really makes me sad because It's the one that basically showed just how competent Kazuma is.
    The blond guy, Dust, kept pestering Kazuma because he thought that Kazuma had it great a harem with a bunch a beautiful girls. (Like Mitsurugi with an actual harem)
    Dust is basically seen as a delinquent in the city. He constantly gets into trouble, is often arrested, and likes to pick fights.
    Kazuma, upset about just how wrong Dust is about his situation, proposed that Dust and him switch parties for a day. Dust quickly accepted.
    Soon after, Kazuma goes to Dust's party to join them on a quest. It's a goblin hunting quest, if I remember correctly. At first, they see him as a very useless person since he's only an adventurer (the weakest combat class). They even make him carry the equipment and tell him to try not to die once they get into combat.
    On the way, they notice how creatively Kazuma uses his elementary level magic. Elementary magic is magic that other casting classes often just skip because it's so weak. You've seen some of his elementary level magic like Create Water, Freeze, Tinder, but I think that the anime didn't show "Create" Earth and "Create Wind".
    Kazuma uses them in ways that make them more effective than the sum of their parts. Like using tinder to start a campfire instead of using a magic tool, for example.
    Soon after, they get close to the goblins, but Kazuma warns them that there's more of them than they thought there were going to be, but one of the members is rushes in and starts fighting. Soon they're in a fight with a bunch of goblins. During combat, Kazuma uses create water and freeze to stop the movements of the goblins and ends up saving their lives a few times during the fight and they end up winning.
    As they return back to town they compliment Kazuma on his quick thinking, but then they start talking about why there were more goblins than expected. Turns out, there's a really dangerous monster that tends to use goblins as tools for hunting adventurers. It's called the "Rookie Killer", and if regular adventurers come across it, it usually means death for them.
    Almost immediately after.. the Rookie Killer shows up. They pretty much lose hope when they see that. However, Kazuma once again pulls through with a combination of "Create Earth" and "Create Wind" to blind the Rookie Killer and they manage to escape. Thanks to Kazuma, they all survived and completely change their impressions of him. They apologize for treating him like he wouldn't be of any help, and Kazuma teases them about that. They pretty much tell him that he's welcome back in their party any time.
    When they get back, Kazuma's party has returned. Darkness is full of wounds, Megumin is being carried, and Aqua is crying. Dust sees him, and practically begs on his hands and knees to switch back with him. After they switch back, Dust is probably one of the only people that know what Kazuma goes through on a daily basis.
    Now, whenever someone says that Kazuma has it good, Dust the first one to defend him due to his newfound respect. He can't fathom how he's able to handle people like that in a party.

      @yummychips_ Рік тому +21

      That's partially true.
      The cast was encouraged to adlib a lot to find the right tone, but most of the script is 1 for 1 the same as the novel. The events, personalities, and jokes in general are nearly identical. A lot of the ad-libbing was more like re-worded or re-stylized dialogue instead of unscripted dialogue. I would say you that the studio and editors who converted the novel to anime, should be praised more for the amazing adaptation. There are some tidbits here and there that was genuinely ad-libbed, but most was not.
      Now I understand a lot of westerners believe the EN novel trans were "adatping the anime script" instead of the JP novel, but that isn't true. The JP novel just has differnt wording, but the writing carried the same meaning.
      The biggest thing missed is that the author Natsume Akatsuki gave them the freedom to adapt how the energy, attitude, and vibe of the characters were goint to be. The VAs loved the concept and script of konosuba, and when told they got to create the tone for the character they went all out. That is how we got the performance we have now. The author was so impressed that he adopted some of the energy and vibe back into the novel for later volumes.
      TL;DR The VAs are amazing, but the script was not as ad-libbed as some may believe.

    18:03: Good catch. Konosuba accurately displays what it would be like for the average person in a fantasy world to just decide that they want to become an adventurer.
    In a video game, even in the starting area, you would usually at least be able to find some minor, useful items or small bits of money hidden in treasure chests out in the world. But realistically speaking, that would never happen, or other people would have already pilfered them. Which is why Kazuma and Aqua have to start from nothing, doing actual manual labor to build up enough savings to even buy equipment before they get started with adventuring.

    The reason they get to live for free in the mansion is actually because of the little girl ghost that lives there. The owners are her familiars, and they are good people. She liked hearing about adventurers, so the deal is that they need to talk about their adventures on their mealtime, the little girl hears about their adventures and is happy, she also likes to play pranks on them, and likes "naughty things" which is also why she removed the sign when Kazuma was washing and Darkness ended going into the bathroom. Aqua can actually see the little girl ghost and could exorcise her if she wanted, but since she is a good spirit that simply wants to hear stories, she lets her alone, even when she plays pranks on her, or drinks her alcohol.

    Fun fact: Megumin speaks a kind of older Japanese called keigo. It's not used as much now in modern times, but it is used when you're talking to someone older, more important, or of higher social status than you. That's why Kazuma asks "are you poking fun at us?" when they first meet. The way she talks would be akin to someone talking to you with a lot of Shakespearean influence, so he thinks she's mocking him. Same thing with the Devil King's dullahan in ep.4. It's revealed later in the show why this is, but only if you know about keigo. (Kazuma and everyone else speak non-keigo, or "tame-go".)

    • @0ptriX
      @0ptriX 6 місяців тому +5

      You're nearly right - keigo isn't "older Japanese", it's simply polite language and it's used everywhere in modern Japan. You would be expected to use keigo with strangers older than you or the same age, and with people in authority positions like your boss, teacher, or students in grades above you. You would use non-keigo, casual language with relatives, classmates, close friends, partners, and children.
      It is true that Megumin always uses keigo, which is a quirk of hers, but additionally she (and her entire tribe) is "chuunibyou", sometimes translated as "eighth-grader syndrome". It's essentially a trait where people speak in overly grandiose and edgy terms, as if they are eighth-grade children who have delusions that they are the main character, that they have access to hidden knowledge, they try to do things all cool-like for the sake of looking cool.

      As for her incantations, other than the first one (which was a tribute to the incantation for Dragon Slave), Rie Takahashi apparently made up most of them on the spot, occasionally with some input from Jun Fukushima (who also improvised the now legendary 'hai, kazuma-desu')

    I think they say Megumin is a weird name, because it doesn't suit her appearance and demeanor. The normal name is Megumi and the n added makes it a cute variation of the name. Given how she presents herself, you would expect a name like "Naomi of the Dying Star" or something like that.

    So Megumin's family story is rather insane but hilarious in tone with this world. See Aqua's been sending the souls of the young form Japan to this world for CENTURIES and more then a few of them were going through the Chuunibyou phase of life. Meaning Megumin's ancestor was so into his own made up back story that when they began having kids they told their back story as legend or fact... so Megumin's attitude is literally shared by the village of "Red Demon's" she's from. Meaning there all insanely powerful mages with this idea their descended from Red Demons when in fact their descended from one person who loved manga and comics so much they just called themselves a red demon and that attitude became the norm for their village... so yeah Megumin literally comes from an insane Dynasty.

    Aqua lists their roster as an amazing party, because everyone but Kazuma (hai, hai, Kazuma desu) belongs to an advanced class when Darkness joins. Well, she is not the only one who thinks that way. There's a story the anime did not adapt where a guy from a different party starts taunting Kazuma about how amazing and easy his life must be, hanging around with 3 cute and overpowered girls all the time. Kazuma tries to explain to him that they are all useless but he doesn't believe him, so they end up swapping parties for a day. Kazuma goes on a quest with the other party and they do perfectly fine, they compliment him, and he is happy, probably the best day of his life in this world. When they get back they find that the other guy, Aqua, Megumin and Darkness didn't even manage to leave the town, much less finish a quest, and he is already begging for his life.

The show does a great job in how the main characters interact with each other as friends in their teenage years. It's actually the primary driver of the series for me, the jokes land harder bc the interactions, while extreme, are believable. This world brought me back to when I played EQ back in 2000, the game was very harsh from the get go, newbie zones were almost aways connected to zones that would bring you death, quickly. There were clearly defined rolls; tanks were very much like Darkness in that they didn't do much damage, but soaked a ton of it from the mobs.

    By the way, the monetary calculation would be something along the lines of each "eris" being a penny. That's how yen work. So 300,000 for the lake purification would be about 3,000 dollars. Not all that much for risking your life. That's why the 5,000 for fighting a Manticore and Griffin really isn't worth it. These adventurers basically have to live off the meager rewards they get between quests, which is why all they can afford is sleeping in a barn.

    Spoiler Warning.
    Eris is actually Chris, the thief that taught Kazuma how to use thief skills and subsequently got her panties stolen. Darkness prayed so hard to Eris for a friend that she became Chris just to give Darkness company and help her make friends. That is why she helped Darkness get into Kazuma's party and also checks in on them from time to time.

      Yeah the anime itself hasn't even gotten to that point yet so that's a pretty late spoiler lol

      @@kurocomics Though ironically, Isekai Quartet all but explicitly said it. Imagine being spoiled by a chibi spinoff (please pay no attention to what book Beatrice is reading....)
