Fun fact: Aqua has Water Affinity while Giant Toads have Water Immunity Fun fact: you cannot falsify an adventurer's card and Aqua's race listed on her adventurer's card is "GODDESS." No one bothers to check this.

[@DerGeileGangster]

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.

[@Mkronox]

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.

[@SnowyWolborg]

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.

Kazuma is the kinda guy who could storm heaven and hell, wiping every God and Demon out in the process. He just won't because he's too lazy. Also fun fact: a massive chunk of the dialogue in this series is just the VA's ad-libbing and the directors finding it too good to leave out. The Konosuba cast are some of the best in the business.

[@Hkung-mu6cd]

Spoilers In the next arc(that’s not yet animated), he literally stormed the most well fortified place in the country while drunk lol

[@yummychips_]

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.

[@kelvinw.1384]

Yes I'm kazama

[@reinsaxony4623]

Why these "fun facts" are never facts? A massive chunk of the dialogue are the VA making stuff up? Stop lying. 99% of the dialogue are straight up from the LN, no dialogue is made up, literally the only thing made up by them was Kazuma saying his name when people calls him. Also Kazuma is so weak he can't even solo some goblins never mind Gods and Devils.

[@S.A.F.T.I]

@@reinsaxony4623 I suppose yes, ad-lib is a poor choice of words. It would be more accurate to say its a lot of improv. And Kazuma can barely fight Goblins? Didn't he win against his own teammates and solo the Devil King? Kazuma's weakness is laziness, that doesn't mean he couldn't obliterate anyone that pissed him off.

[@jackofclubs6229]

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.

[@Axius27]

Megumin is literally a one-shot build that needs support from allies to be useful outside of boss fights :P

[@guardiansoulblade2673]

They would be the perfect party if their own special brands of "stupid" didn't get in the way, and we love them for it.

[@accywacky2699]

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]

@@accywacky2699 Aqua’s offense should be fine, I think. The only reason she kept failing is because the Frog she used God Blow on had immunity/resistance to blunt attacks.

[@accywacky2699]

@@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.

[@LARVideos]

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.

[@jasonmiller6181]

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]

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.

Love you guys. Never change the format of the videos.

[@DragonxFlutter]

Ah yes. Konosuba. The show with the harem-style protagonist group (one average man surrounded by beautiful women) where there's _zero_ romantic tension, and everyone's a misfit and/or jerk. It _shouldn't_ work, but it does and it's _hilarious._ Kazuma: Tactician who hates everyone and somehow gets labeled as a pervert even when he's not intending to. Aqua: Healer who's useless because she's got blonde roots cranked to eleven. Megumin: A literal one-shot mage who's too tiny and frail to handle the one spell she's capable of. Darkness: A masochist that became a tanky class solely to get her jollies. Aside from Darkness, they're all some level of jerk.

[@reinsaxony4623]

Since level 1 Aqua already had enough skill points to learn every single skill from her Archpriest class, reason why she left points left to learn party tricks. She's at full power since day 1.

[@idnyftw]

Steph saying "Aquaaaa..." like calling someone's little sister making a mess of someone's house...

[@envyforme6094]

PLEASE need season 2 reactions😂

[@rasugil5832]

Watching your reaction was super funny!! We need more comedy shows 🤣

[@Lordzoabar]

“I like this show! It’s weirdly wholesome!” AH HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[@munico6055]

This reaction alone made me wanna sub, it was so fun seeing your first watch, it was like watching anime with the anime interested friends I never had

[@krekkaking]

Debt goddess, the explosion maniac, and the masocrusader are kazutrash's main party, with yunyun and wiz being Temps that are really helpful

[@wdkaye]

Hearing Aqua’s tantrums high-pitched like this is funnier than I expected

[@xzczcwc]

Steph is so based for the "Well, maybe they're rich" justification for why it's OK to blow them up lmao

[@RogerDeelaw]

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. I read a good example people made and it's the Mage from "Monty Python and the Holy Grail". He makes this whole show, with explosions when they encounter him, and when they ask him what his name is, he says "Some call me... Tim."

[@Alexanderthegreat159]

44:32 I don't know if you ever were able to notice but darkness is insanely masochistic. Ergo she likes getting hurt which fits well with her being able to take a hell of a lot of damage and not being able to deal any. Lol

[@chaosmastermind]

I believe the reasoning behind it is that if she hit her opponents then they would stop fighting and she would win.. ergo she would no longer be getting hit or captured. Since this is the opposite of her intentions, it makes sense that she wouldn't be able to do it... if only mentally.

[@en4833]

"I don't know if you were able to notice" Bro, Kazuma comments on it the first time they meet. I'd be worried if they didn't notice it.

[@leviathan1082]

I am pretty positive the reason the coronite got teleported to that mansion was because aqua (who has a luck stat of Zero) was also present in the room.

[@BlackDerek]

From what someone told me, Crimson Demons names are pretty much like online names or gamertags.

[@tric5122]

Steph in under 5min's proves she is prophetic, he definitely brings something stupid 8p. 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.

[@decusq]

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.

[@l30nard03]

This is going to be hilarious.

[@mr.m9489]

i was actually hoping they would react to konosuba 😂 ...lets go one of the funniest shows

[@KravenVanDrakken]

Episode 6: The Dullahan is facing the worst nightmare of any D&D DM where they planned an entire 10 hours sidequest to save a party member from impending doom and somehow the party managed to roll 5 perfect natural 20's with advantage in a row!!! 😂🤣😂🤣😂 All that careful planning gone to waste❣️

[@envyforme6094]

OMG YES THIS IS MY FAV ISEKAI ANIME ITS JUST OUT OF THE NORM AND SO FUNNY

[@quigonkenny]

"This should be funny" Understatement of the century. Literally the funniest anime of all time.

[@giacomomeluzzi280]

Pleaseeee do season 2 and the movies, this was so much fun! I watched all three hours I need more

[@al_alemania]

I'm so happy y'all reacted to this lmao

[@jinxie712]

The funny thing about Darkness being turned on about getting hit is how I think all tanks are. Not in the comedy way, but it takes a special type of person to want to get hit by all the monsters protecting others.

[@WeiChengFang-b6n]

Steph: I want to shoot fireballs. Megumin: Camarade!!!!

[@eizy1010]

Can't wait to see you guys reacts to Megumin's side story

[@North29TH]

The voice change for copyright reasons somehow made Aqua better. XD

[@ohheylads]

This was a blast 😂

[@드래곤원-h4j]

The way 'Steal' works is that based on your luck stat the chances of getting something good/something you want increases. In Kazuma's case, due to his incredibly high luck stat + his perverted nature, against women he gets their underwear.

[@verified_tinker1818]

Ah, that was great! Can't wait for Season 2.

[@ZeroHourRebornV505Resurrection]

Hi, just wanna say thanks for reacting to Konosuba. Also you are a cute couple I hope you don't mind me saying that xD

[@YuyuHakurei]

You are misunderstanding the title the guy who died at the end had. Overlord. He was one of the Demon King's army and one of the leaders. He was also a noble which is why they went to arrest him. xD

[@Rivian_Jedi]

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. It's also impressive how quickly Aqua accumulated a bar debt of 1,000 dollars.

[@드래곤원-h4j]

I'm not 100% sure about this since I haven't looked it up, but I think the pause/start screens in the episodes are a creative way to put in an ad-break during tv runs. Pause before the ad-break and resume after the ad-break. Otherwise I can't really think of another reason for having it there other than comedic value.

[@Ernohauki]

Waiting for Season 2 and the movie 😂

[@Kazumatempest]

you mean season 3 since season 2 its out already.

[@Ernohauki]

@@Kazumatempest I can't wait for season 3, but i meant reaction 🙂

[@YoshiroPoh]

for your info, thief is actually a more gamey term over than the actual meaning. It usually means a series of stereotype-like class that either uses dagger/dual daggers/bow and are usually light armor and quick. and the word thief is sort of usually used as the starting classes before someone upgrades to thinks like sharpshooter/assassin and what not.

[@whensomethingcriesagain]

Rogue has overtaken it in common parlance for specifically this reason

[@lucasferes3519]

"Why there is only girls around" exactly... I love girls reacting to these harem stuff 😊

[@mau48310]

Omgoddess this mash up was legitimate fulfillment ty guys for making this , this show is my happy place 😂

[@arkboi2145]

Aqua - The “Baby” Younger Sister. Megumin - The Middle Sister who is Kazuma’s age. Darkness - The Older more Mature Sister.

[@quigonkenny]

Drinking milk after visiting the bathhouse is a Japanese trope. You'll see it a lot in other anime. Fun fact: When Megumin does her dramatic monologues, she speaks Japanese in an old, formal dialect that no one would use in normal conversation. It's basically the Japanese equivalent of Shakespeare.

[@justincrowley8787]

I forgot how much I love Kazuma's maniacal laughing when they gets sent.

[@jebes909090]

i think kazuma and aqua are probably the best written pair of siblings in all of anime. oh an 5000 eris is basically 5000 yen, which is about 50 us dollars. so ya, pretty crappy pay . also apparently megumin is the pet name version of megumi so like jennypoo or something like that. and that goes for all the crimson demons.

[@Misaki_Mei504]

‼️the protagonist is not trapped in a game‼️ I say this because many people to this day who have only seen the anime think that 😐 and as an extra fact, Aqua does wear underwear, the fact that she "doesn't wear panties" was a thing nothing more from the anime, that is, it is not Canon, since in the Light Novels that is never said, on the contrary, in a conversation of theirs it is mentioned that she does use it (not to mention that in the illustrations of the Light Novel and other official sources It shows that if it has) if you wonder what color they are white with blue 🗿

[@NewTypeDilemma01]

Darkness invested so much into her defense that her accuracy became a dump stat. Incidentally, she's voiced in the English dub by Cristina Vee (who's voiced Shantae and Velvet Crowe, among many other characters), and it's absolutely hilarious! I'd argue that some scenes in the dub are even _funnier_ than the Sub.

[@AnyMEmdq]

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.

[@NarutoD.Cruise]

Here before popular

[@losing_streak_games]

When you realise that aqua party skills are actually buff skills but she don't know that and never use them during battle but only during parties and drinking session💀💀😭

[@Aquilenne]

and to keep lettuce/cabbage fresh

[@reinsaxony4623]

They are not.

[@Axius27]

I suspect that the Devil King selects his officers based on their patience. They're probably some of the most tolerant and reasonable people in the series
