A New Side Of Dust... Konosuba Season 3 Episode 9 Reaction | AVR2

[@cranesilentlyplays8084]

Supplementary info/LN changes (Long comment warning, as they adapted around twice the amount of content they usually do per episode and there’s a cut chapter for S1, connected to this episode.) Fun fact: the noble is voiced by Dio’s VA from JoJo. Unlike the anime, Darkness went to report the Hydra’s subjugation last episode and didn’t return for days (they didn’t eat the crab because they waited for her and Kazuma learned the Cooking skill offscreen.) Kazuma was crafting prototype Dynamite, but Megumin didn’t like something recreating Explosion and threw it out. During the recruitment scene, Megumin tries to make the guy go on a test to hunt a difficult monster by himself and there’s a reference/joke to KonoBakuen where Kazuma grabs her by the cloak and she says to not do that, because the cloak is a gift from a friend (Yun Yun.) In the LN, Dust decided to join their Party temporarily and went on a quest with other parties to drive away a giant Adaman Snail infestation at a farm (Kazuma used Snipe and Freeze to defeat monsters, while Dust struggled and had steel armor, showing Kazuma’s strengths, despite not being a Warrior like Dust.) Then, the next day had him ask Kazuma for help at the mansion and Aqua was there, too and Kazuma helps because in S1, there was meant to be a chapter (wasn’t moved to this Season, either, so it was cut completely) where he swapped parties with Dust (Dust failed the quest with the girls) and carried the entire cocky, Intermediate Class party, because unexpectedly the easy Goblin quest had a Rookie Killer (shown in KonoBakuen) watching over a Goblin army that was bigger than what was expected (30) and used his Basic Magic and Lurk to keep them all safe, which earned Rin’s trust and they formed a friendship, which is why she views him highly and didn’t get mad at Kazuma (Kazuma also projects Darkness onto Rin and yes, the Kobolds moment this Season is the opposite version of the Goblin army fight, because he chose to protect Aqua with good intentions.) For worldbuilding, that camera is a magic item as expensive as a house. 12:10 - Yes, it’s S2 again, but Alderp’s son was in S2, while this is Alderp now. Megumin brings up Soketto in the LN, referencing KonoBakuen again, while Kazuma worked on making stuff because of Vanir’s prophecy. The LN showed how he snuck in, by using his bow to form a tightrope and broke into the mansion with thermal shock on a locked window (using Tinder to heat up glass, then using Freeze) which he learned when he had Chuunibyou and looked up dangerous stuff as a kid. Fun fact: in the LN, the chef called Norris by his first name, Chuck (yes, the author made a character named Chuck Norris.) Darkness tricked Kazuma by having him sit next to her, before screaming, in the LN (also describing what would happen after Alderp’s marriage was a bit more graphic and he started cooling off with thoughts like grandmas and Dust in lingerie, because of the situation.) Since Darkness has no experience, she held his hand in the air and Kazuma moved his hand to her abs, after 2 seconds (LN, he’s currently not in love with Darkness and didn’t want to take advantage of her vulnerable situation.) They cut a short fight between Darkness and Kazuma, where he used Drain Touch and used momentum to his advantage (and Freeze), then used his famous Create Earth and Windbreath combo (first time in the anime, but was used in Wiz’s first meeting, the Party Swap, and in the castle raid a few episodes ago.) Ignis Dustiness’ scene here is similar to the one from JoJo Part 1, with a sick dad trying to do the right thing for his child (Kazuma used Ignis’ advice, but Darkness still refused, even when Megumin and Aqua were mentioned.) Like Megumin, Dust has a spin-off series focused on him (Vanir’s the only other character with a Spin-off and since this is their first true appearance in the anime: Dust the Warrior is 18 and Rin the Wizard is 15.)

[@cringemeat9430]

If you read the novels. It’s actually super sweet knowing that kazuma purposely made that abs comment when darkness offered herself to him bc he didn’t want to take advantage of her. I get why they’d cut out the internal dialogue to keep the moment cute and funny but it’s just extra context that would’ve been nice

[@TheGenreVerse]

I even said I wouldn't make a move because she's not right emotionally for that... Kazuma is trashy, but he's not complete garbage 😆

[@astro_morph]

Give it up for Dust for being one hell of a good model, and another round for kazuma for getting the most out of his model

[@mrbloodmuffins]

Noble to Dust: "jokes on you, in into that stuff"

[@TheGenreVerse]

I read that in the Skeletor meme voice and wish I had used that meme in the video... 🤣

[@danielkiran8174]

Well, actually Dust and that girl Rin do have a romantic connection (its explored in their own spinoff, not the main story of the anime, so its not a serious spoiler). Its just that he's such a prick and she's SUCH a huge tsundere, that it takes ages for her to show any affection to him.

[@1950RetroMan]

Dust wasn't giving Kazuma money, those are succubus vouchers XD

[@TheGenreVerse]

Gotcha, thanks!

[@fc3sturbogtr]

12:27 What about him? In the words of the great adventurer Kazuma, "NOTHING happened today." 😂

[@BekindBekbek]

That Artist buff is OP

[@meliotablet]

Kyle almost died this episode, wow. You should use the reaction of him looking horrified at dust as a thumbnail image :D

[@TheGenreVerse]

I would but the mic is in the way and so is the watch window. I record the reactions completely in OBS as you see on screen except the "Please Stand By" overlay, so I couldn't snap just me in any way... Editing is all about cutting/speeding up dead space without eliminating important story/context. This is like being asked to recut an entire episode of a show without losing the story. It actually requires a lot of thought and attention. There's also cutting any personal stuff/interruptions, adjusting anime audio levels, leveling mic audio, and adding background music, clips, text, and images. TL:DR- The way I record with OBS is why thumbnails are the way they are. 😆

[@moalboris239]

You have no idea how much I was waiting for this reaction. Because I knew the two of you would make me laugh just as hard as the actual impersonation scene did the first time. That was amazing.

[@TheGenreVerse]

Glad to entertain! Thanks for watching!

[@gracjanlekston134]

Implications of only one scream is wild. There's many ways to interpret that and each interpretation is more wild than the other.

[@123goofyking]

You guys are the only ones I've ever seen in my dozen+ years of watching KZbin that speed up the video being reacted to at random. Where did that even come from?

[@seasunt]

I guess it's to avoid copyright strikes. Personally, I'd rather this than what some others do like covering the show with text and such.

[@Vizefon]

Copyright reasons. Also they sped up during the unimportant parts that we don't really care about so not really an issue tbh.

[@TheGenreVerse]

Long uncut segments of video can get copyright claimed, so speeding it up helps reduce the automatic checks getting something to claim. It also allows you to see more reaction, especially moments without us making comments, and more context. I know it's weird, but I do think it offers the viewer more than they may realize at first. Please, continue to check out some other content and see if you adjust to it and see the benefits. Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@Animewatcher352]

My man was busting a gut laughing so much we had to put it at 2x speed to get back to the reaction

[@TheGenreVerse]

Seemed funnier this time than a "Please Stand By" cut. 😆

[@GuillermoSmyser]

I never made the connection to Pocket Sand. That was great!

[@GuillermoSmyser]

Of course Dust is packin’. Good catch btw. He’s developed giant balls of steel over the course of his backstory.

[@jasonfurumetarualkemisto5917]

Dust is Gone.... Reduced to Dust

[@GuillermoSmyser]

Didn't notice the white ranger jacket til this time around. very nice.

[@TheGenreVerse]

😁

[@thorstenkurafeiski1845]

I heard that in the manga Kazuma temporary switched his party with someone. Wasn't it Dust by any chance? All I remember is that Kazuma was happy to finally have a useful party and the other guy (Dust?) found out how useless Aqua, Darkness and Megumin are.

[@BekindBekbek]

It happened in both manga and light novel. And yes, it was Dust and his party. Btw, Dust has his own spin-off

[@TheGenreVerse]

🤷

[@pbgamer25]

I think something just awoken inside of Dust😂 Also, i'm loving this whole Darkness/Lalatina arc....seeing this side of Darkness and how the whole wedding / sick father stuff is actually something serious kinda balance the comedy a little bit...but that first half tho😂 Kazuma and Dust SHOULD NOT be adventure partners, just saying

[@NiersFloater]

Darkness is too stubborn and lordly to ask for help when she is in need, she rather sacrifices herself. As for Kazumas personality: Nice guy yes - true gentleman no. He would most likely not take advantage of a girl in an emotional state of emergency just like Darkness is now, but a real gentleman would not use every opportunity to grope a girl the way he does it with Chris (nor steal her panties multiple times).

[@Coballes19]

I guess you can say Dust has.... "bitten the dust"... But anyways, Dust is an adventurer. He can defend himself from some scrawny noble.

[@TheGenreVerse]

Lol

[@cranesilentlyplays8084]

Specifically, he’s a Warrior class, though Nobles are naturally strong, too.

[@maverickckj]

Dust gets to experience Kazuma’s PTSD from the movie

[@arnabghosh4355]

Funniest episode so far😂😂

[@caseymurray1994]

Somehow, I know that particular guard that was all smiley is probably going to go to the succubus cafe and request a Lalatina forbidden romance dream.😂💂‍♂️👸 Edit: Dust is going to get tore up int' he?😳😲

Dont worry, Dust is strong he can defend himself, well he got trauma but at least his virginity is intact

[@goncaloandrade5866]

If I remember correctly he is some kind of dragon hunter right?

@@goncaloandrade5866 dragon rider. And his weapon of choice is actually a spear, but this is secret too. So naturally he has Lancer's luck)

Vinland Saga? 👀

[@TheGenreVerse]

All back catalog shows are delayed. A lot of stuff going on in the house... It's hard for me to work on reaction edits as they require much more work and focus than a podcast. It took me probably 5 hours of actual work time spread over 12hrs of the day to complete this. I'm usually able to edit and publish a video within 3hrs... We'll be back with them. We're actually recording 2 more Vinland reactions today to stay ahead of that part of the process. Thanks for your patience.
