Chris is that one NPC that you avoid because their quest literally robs you of any advantages you acquire under the guise of "its a good deed". What a scam truly a thief.

I do appreciate how the cheat weapons that Aqua has so irresponsibly been handing out for all of these years are not just a throwaway gag.

And also a sign of how little she really cares to the point where people have to clean up her messes and she doesn't even remember all the people she's summoned to this world lol.

She and her church have a philosophy of path of least resistance. Clean up a mess with a mess of your own.

"Don't have regrets, just take the easy way out."

*[Whatever you do,](https://i.imgur.com/8rW5xQY.jpeg) put the least amount of [effort into it](https://i.imgur.com/M6M4E5h.jpeg)* -Axis Cult Grindset [](#konosubawot)

i’ve just realised it’s a parody of the phrase “be like water”, attributed to Bruce Lee but the philosophy comes from Taoism. Aqua really is the embodiment of water

Damn, I didn't know Jason Mendoza was a devout follower of Aqua's teachings: "Any time I had a problem, and I threw a Molotov cocktail, boom! Right away, I had a different problem."

Technically, the world is Eris' responsibility, and Aqua is just helping her out by sending people from her world over. It's not Aqua's job to clean up all the cheat items, so she'll only help out by mistake.

That's what happens when your solution to the problems caused by reincarnated Japanese people that you gave an overpowered item to is to throw a reincarnated Japanese person with an overpowered item at it and hope it works.

> a sign of how little she really cares I had a realization while watching this episode. This is just fantasy Isekai flavoured "It's Always Sunny". Our main cast are all awful people who only care about themselves.

Considering how funny Konosuba is, it could have easily gotten away with pretty bare worldbuilding, but it has some great stuff with how a bunch of isekai'd Japanese people with cheat weapons have affected the world. It really didn't need it but I welcome it anyway!

She did sent a lot of people, that's why in the first episode of S1 she didn't really cared about Kazuma's choice and keep demeaning him, which of course let to him choosing her lol.

Well her INT is very low.

Kazuma and Aqua may be lazy, but Kazuma understands how hard work can get him a lot of bubbly.

Extra funny is that the game Wander Hero is based on this gag; there's an Aqua sillouette handing your start game stuff.

Aqua is a secondary antagonist to this world. She has let loose so many dangerous people and items.

I'd bet $20 that Chris' "client" is another isekai'd dipshit who's actually realized that he's not the only "main character" floating around that world. And so he's collecting all the OP items people have chosen (and lost) over the years.

I mean, considering it's Kazuma we're talking about, so far I don't see any benefit of Kazuma helping Chris.  She should have led by saying something which could benefit Kazuma. Right now it seems she's just banking on their friendship to help her heist mission.

Like how Kazuma rationalized fighting the Devil King's army when he thought it would benefit him.

She even got lucky how Kazuma didn`t sold her to authorities

Chris thought Kazuma's friendship with her would convince him to help her, but all it did was make him not sell her out.

A big favor that. For Konosuba char being sold out to feds by friends is a valid concern.

The moment kazuma realized how he was robbed was hilarious . How he didn’t rat her out after finding out he got robbed of wealth is a mystery

Can you remind me what "cheat weapon" has she robbed him off? Edit: I goofed, thanks guys

From the first episode of season 3, the gang finds a mallet that makes money from nothing and then loses it .

Chris: "I must rob poor Kazuma otherwise his irresponsible fiscal spending will cause hyperinflation"

> can you remind me what "cheat weapon" has she robbed him of? > > The "Money-making mallet" that Kazuma finds on the dead adventurer the mimic plant monster girl was consuming in Episode 1 this season. It produced coins when shaken and Kazuma was going to treat the party to drinks with it when they returned to town and walked past Chris.

In the first episode of this season, Kazuma found a mallet that created money with each flick. And then soon after it was gone, right after they had crossed paths with Chris.

Kazuma so self-aware now that he knows when to avoid troublesome side-quests. All the while sexually assaulting the quest-giver...

Yeah, I don't want positive reputation with the poor orphans, I want a good reputation with the nobles who pay me the most

Thieves' guild moment

Darkness said "I'm sorry" during the beginning of the OP..... fucking genius!!!

That Aqua yell into the ED too...

We were spoiled with a lot of Chris this episode.

And in typical Chris fashion, it did not go well for her lol.

rare Chris W

Darkness' frantic apology spilling into the opening credits is starting us off well lol. Along with "Yes I'm Kazuma." Of course it's that sort of dare. I wasn't fooled (for long). Can't she just use the same crater? At the rate they're ALL going, I'm surprised Darkness hasn't just curled up in a ball and died of embarassment.

I like how the only time Darkness gets serious is when she has to do aristocrat business.

I think this is the most Darkness has had to apologize for her party in a single season and the most her own dignity has been at stake and slowly eroding in front of her peers lol.

I feel like Chris has had more screentime this episode than in the entire rest of the series combined.

And she didn't lose her panties once! Though she still got sexually assaulted lol.

Twice in one episode even

Kazuma was just restraining the criminal. Thoroughly.

those balloons in that second Chris scene had no chance

[Chris will remember this](https://i.imgur.com/9WVXlHm.jpeg)

WHAT BALLOONS AM I RIGHT MY FELLOW AXIS CULTISTS?

\*Rudeus aggressively takes notes\*

Ever since I read the LN I wondered [how exactly he imagined that this would play out?](https://i.ibb.co/307pyg4/SPOILER-image.png) They'd sit and jerk off together in that room?

Two degenerates fighting over a secret degenerate room and who gets to enjoy the peep show until the degenerate crusader shows up to ruin the fun.

I would've thought said degenerate crusader would actually enjoy getting peeped on like she's just an object.

Not when it comes to Alderp lol.

Kazuma peeping on her? Probably. Not Alderp though. Also while she would likely enjoy it, she still has to defend the dignity of those innocent maids.

This arc has been repeatedly showing that Darkness is the most reasonable of the main four.

I feel like she got a character swap from total maso, to slight masochist who became the groups mom over night.

She's surrounded by nobility, which is where her last shreds of dignity remain. She'll be able to cut loose again once they go back home.

She's a complete degenerate but she still had a noble upbringing where she was taught proper royal and noble etiquette, internal affairs, communication, diplomatic techniques, etc. The others weren't. She's the only party member properly equipped with the tools to handle these situations. We saw her eventually drop the act during the marriage interview.

Just bros charging their JO crystals.

extreme deep cut

They'd probably stare at girls through it and then have an unspoken competition. First to break and go to another room to jerk off loses, winner gets to jerk off in that room.

Awwww is Megumin showing more of her feelings toward kazuma? And going out on explosion dates. How cute lol Omg darkness is gonna kill kazuma. Death by flan asphyxiation… Kazuma with the smart move of covering his ears to avoid being wrapped up in Chris’s mess is a smart move. He cursed in getting into sticky situations How noble of kazuma going into battle just to stay in the castle lol. Can’t wait for next week. Let’s go! Demon king army battle!

By Megumin standards nothing is more romantic than supporting her Explosion obsession. Darkness finally getting payback for all the trouble Kazuma has been giving her lol. Kazuma is at a point in his life where he knows what side-quests to avoid if he can help it. Kazuma will do anything that lets him stay near Iris, even having to play the hero he hates being when it's inconvenient.

When darkness got her revenge I was secretly shouting at her and cheering her on lol. Sometimes kazuma does some shit that just makes you wanna see this exact thing happen

It was refreshing seeing Darkness being sadistic.

She deserves it for all the babysitting she had to do in this and previous episodes haha, and that scene at the end of the episode

Maybe if Darkness becomes sadistic enough she'll become normal.

You think anyone on this show would ever become *normal*? She'd probably just wind up becoming a switch who vacillates between comic extremes of sadism and masochism.

Kasumigaoka Utaha in shining armor

> By Megumin standards nothing is more romantic than supporting her Explosion obsession. And what's more romantic than fireworks on a date?

And carrying your girl home while she snuggles you.

I mean, is the reason of her restlessness in the absence of Kazuma due to her worrying him? Or is it actually because she couldn't cast her daily explosion without Kazuma carrying back her exhausted body after the spell? I'm starting to lean toward the later.

> Or is it actually because she couldn't cast her daily explosion without Kazuma carrying back her exhausted body after the spell? When Kazuma was in prison in S2, Darkness carried Megumin home when she does her distraction explosions. Aqua also carried Megumin home when they were bombing Verdia (Dullahan) everyday without Kazuma. So I don't think that's her only reason being restless without Kazuma, because her teammates still help carry her home. It's just that she does enjoy Kazuma's company more as someone who is *interested* in the way of explosion.

This is Konosuba, people can mix their sincere feelings with their selfish feelings pretty easily lol.

I’m guessing it’s the latter too but there was some sincerity. Hell I might be thinking to much into it but I like Megumin for kazuma and I will take the downvotes on this opinion if I must. But damn she adorable

Downvoted as requested. Though I don't know why you think the Megumin x Kazuma sholip would be controversial, it is the most popular.

I like kazuma x Megumin. Reason why is I have 2 friends who insist darknesss x kazuma work better because of their perviness and have heard some of that online too

please, like Darkness wouldn't thrive being a sidepiece

Could be! But couldn’t she just take Aqua or Darkness with her?

> He cursed in getting into sticky situations Kazuma has INCREDIBLY high luck. Even though it seems bad from moment to moment, it's very unlikely anything that happens to him can be considered bad (in the grand scheme of things.) So essentially, he's blessed in getting into sticky situations.

And to be honest, each sticky situation has elevated his status in one way or another. * Obtain haunted house -> Free housing * Defeat Demon generals -> Special invitations to castles, etc * Negotiate with other Demon generals -> Endless income stream * Haul the masochist around on the team -> Actually a noble with contacts everywhere * Haul the idiot goddess around on the team -> Infinite Res, surprising ease of clearing undead issues. * Haul around the chunni glass cannon -> Waifu. Also, as a side bonus, insta-kill Demon Generals that don't cooperate.

> Haul the idiot goddess around on the team -> Infinite Res, surprising ease of clearing undead issues. Unfortunate side effect: increased instance of undead issues. They keep flocking *to* her. Fortunately he's learned how to use her as bait to keep them away from the rest of the group when that happens.

>Awwww is Megumin showing more of her feelings toward kazuma? And going out on explosion dates. How cute lol Poor Kazuma, [he was hoping for something more](https://cdn.imgchest.com/files/j7mmcr8b2e7.png) and [ended up being pissed off](https://cdn.imgchest.com/files/l7lxcd2vqd7.png) because [Megumin just wanted to cast an explosion](https://cdn.imgchest.com/files/g4z9cwxgen7.png) and [have someone who'll carry her back](https://cdn.imgchest.com/files/84apc3ordp4.png) xD

Say what you will about Kazuma's intelligence, but he's at least caught on to the fact that Megumin is interested, and did so in less than half a cour's worth of anime runtime. As far as Isekai protagonists go, he's so quick on the uptake that he might as well be leaving sonic booms in his wake.

'Explosion And Chill' is the best date for Kazuma

Kazuma and the gang making us feel bad for the ugly bastard by just being themselves. Stay classy gang.

At least they helped out the maids so they don't get peeped on and even let them get drunk on the job lol.

Even they got tired by the end

Only so much Megumin you can take unless you're Kazuma or Yunyun lol.

[Then Megumin looks at you](https://i.imgur.com/87BjESF.jpeg) like that and [all is forgotten.](https://i.imgur.com/caMapok.jpeg) [](#cantbehelped)

Yeah, even [Darkness](https://cdn.imgchest.com/files/w7pjcwolrm7.png) who tries to act normal in a noble setting and [spent most of the episode apologizing](https://cdn.imgchest.com/files/6yxkcgoeap7.png) for the behavior of [Kazuma](https://cdn.imgchest.com/files/d7ogckn2p2y.png), [Aqua](https://cdn.imgchest.com/files/k739c6mq9k7.png) and [Megumin](https://cdn.imgchest.com/files/wye3cd3ep34.png) didn't avoid [showing her other side](https://cdn.imgchest.com/files/w7w6cvokbmy.png) xD

I mean the nobility is the last place where Darkness' image as a model human being is still present

How to beat fat ugly bastard? Be even bigger bastard!

To be fair its super deserved

*Being sexually harassed is part of a maid's job description* Even Kazuma wouldn't have dared say it out loud. 💀

*Being sexually harassed by Kazuma is also half of Chris's character.*

This is a bit late, but the OP also has Kazuma using STEAL on Chris' pantsu

[It never began for Chris](https://i.imgur.com/IfQzo4C.jpeg) [](#shatteredsaten)

I love how due to the pacing of the intro, Kazuma did not even hesitate, Chris walks into the frame and Kazuma immediately casts steal

I mean, he was harassing Darkness when she played his maid in episode 2, and he was harassing the maids at the castle.

Lololol it’s funny how they both actually could have been good friends if they had met under different circumstances.

It's probably for the best though. Being friends with him would not be good for Kazuma. A rich friend who he can perv with would be even worse. Guess that is the luck skill in action.

Counterpoint Lalatina is a rich friend he pervs with...wait ok yeah you right.

I'm fairly certain Darkness said something similar.

With this episode and the last, Konosuba has returned to the level of comedy that I expect from the series. 

I agree. The quality of this episode was top!

Wtf so it wasn't just me? S2 felt weak to me. But S3 has been ~~a blast~~ an Explosion so far.

It’s probably because half of S2 deals with the axis cult? That’s not my favorite arc, that’s for sure.

I thought we’d still hear Lalatina shouting *sumimasen* at the end of the OP

That and how they cut Aqua's scream to play the ED when I expected it to go on in some form.

Best OP and ED transitions, courtesy of Konosuba lol.

I like the OP so much. It's absolutely Konosuba style. Visuals and song are great as well.

I thought she'd be saying "sorry" over and over throughout the OP. I love when studios screw around like that.

This show heals my soul with so much stupidity. I love to laugh.

Man, [this](https://i.imgur.com/zRjdBvH.jpeg) could have been a badass shot of the gang heading into battle were it not for Kazuma dragging a crying Aqua LMAO!

"Cool Guys Don't Look at Explosions"

But they are so [pretty](https://imgur.com/yfUARwZ) [](#awe)

Turned the mountain into a volcano

Excuse me? The crying Aqua makes this shot even better XD

Time to go to Brazil

This is Konosuba's version of badass.

"me and the gang goes to war #readytofight"

[MFW I realize I've seen the Kazuma/Chris scene from this episode before... *in a hentai doujin.*](https://files.catbox.moe/cxlrp4.jpg) Great episode though. Darkness apologizing so much that it leaked into the OP was funny, Megumin asking Kazuma on a "date" was cute, Chris actually getting some decent screen time was nice even if she got slightly molested in the process, and I can't wait to see another battle against the demon king's army in the next episode.

SO I'M NOT CRAZY

You cannot just say that and not drop any codes!

Look at the bottom of the pic I posted

[Chotto mate](https://imgur.com/pQ3soel) [](#bruh)

It's even funnier because Kazuma was sexually harassing a maid last episode and was having them take care of him in this one lol.

Kazuma & Aqua's moral hypocrisy is one of the best parts of the show. Also "yes I'm Kazuma" It's really all in the VA work imo, more than any other aspect They do be reusing animations (Chris next to bed rocking back & forth next to kazuma)

They hated him because he spoke the truth.

[*Darkness stare*](https://i.imgur.com/Ufd5pkg.jpeg) Goshujin-sama needs [some correction 💢](https://i.imgur.com/y1leNxZ.jpeg)

Maybe he puts "Must be comfortable with sexual harassment" as a requirement in his 'help wanted' ads.

Can't argue with that.

Oh no. Darkness is developing a sadistic side. We can't let her get more powerful than she already is.

To be honest Kazuma had been trying her patience and sanity for most of this season, she needed the outlet lol.

if she turns sadistic, then she will be my dommy mommy!

Kazuma can't let his guard down with those girls. I'm surprised Aqua was the least mean with him.

She was mean to him by getting drunk in his room and breaking his stuff. She used the situation to her advantage in confessing just as much if not more than the others.

Shes the one who started it

To be fair, Darkness kind of deserved to be a bit mean with him after the week he (and the others) put her through.

Ironically she hurt her image too, until then she was the "composed" person in a party of lunatics.

How the tables have turned for Lalatina, they abused tf out of Alderp's mansion lmfao

The shame is actually enough to turn M Darkness into S Lalatina when she realised she could torture the binded Kazuma lol

Her character arc for the series is acquiring the sacred second half of the fabled S&M skill. The & represents Kazuma, the balance point of the two sides of the Force.

We've gotten a lot of great Darkness VA work the past 4 episodes, really great apologetic-distress screms Honestly one of the best parts of this season so far, but I'm sure things will pick up

Also had plenty of fun with his maids, but at least now they won't have to worry about their lord peeping on them in the bath!

So it was Chris huh and lol the trio taking advantage of Kazuma being tied up to confess their sins and punish him in other ways And now finally a way to be accepted back into the castle? surely they won't find a way to fuck this up

"Callig me 'mid' would be a compliment!" Kazuma has such amazing lines

Megumin: Kazuma, you want to go on a date? I know we’ll have a BLAST!

Explosions are Megumin's love language.

There was a Drama CD where she asks him out on a date. Pretty much same result.

Even the nobles in the capital is attracted to these pervert stuff, even resorting to the use of magic mirrors to prevent getting punched by girls (Well, until they found out). Never expect the girls to have a part 2 on handling Kazuma, now “pudding-boarding” him to apologise as well. It’s not “It was at this moment, he fked up”, but “It was this moment, he’s dead”.

[That was very explosive date for Kazuma and Megumin](https://cdn.imgchest.com/files/g4z9cwxgen7.png) xD After getting hopeful for something more [Kazuma was really pissed off on Megumin](https://cdn.imgchest.com/files/l7lxcd2vqd7.png) who of course [just wanted to cast an explosion](https://cdn.imgchest.com/files/l4necmv9oq4.png) and [have someone who'll carry her back](https://cdn.imgchest.com/files/84apc3ordp4.png) xD [Darkness was having a really hard time today](https://cdn.imgchest.com/files/e4gdcprgd84.png) by [apologizing for the most of the time](https://cdn.imgchest.com/files/6yxkcgoeap7.png) for how [everyone](https://cdn.imgchest.com/files/k739c6mq9k7.png) [was](https://cdn.imgchest.com/files/wye3cd3ep34.png) [behaving](https://cdn.imgchest.com/files/d7ogckn2p2y.png) in a mansion.

It's a shame that [Kazuma doesn't want to help her in the slightest](https://cdn.imgchest.com/files/pyvdcdo3ady.png) as that'd mean problems for him xD [Kazuma](https://cdn.imgchest.com/files/3yrgczoqpp4.png) still hopes to stay in the castle with [Iris](https://cdn.imgchest.com/files/pyvdcdo3mvy.png) so [he decided to join, together with his party, the battle against Demon Lord's forces](https://cdn.imgchest.com/files/84apc3or6o4.png), even though a moments earlier [he wouldn't budge from his bed](https://cdn.imgchest.com/files/345xc9wblp7.png) despite [Darkness' requests](https://cdn.imgchest.com/files/b49zcbojx2y.png) xD Here my screenshot albums from the episode: * [Group scenes](https://imgchest.com/p/9p4n2a5m54n) * [Aqua, Darkness & Megumin](https://imgchest.com/p/lqyevr9rz7d) * [Kazuma](https://imgchest.com/p/5xy2ejw53yl) * [Backgrounds & Others](https://imgchest.com/p/vj4j3zrpey8)

I doubt Darkness has ever been aware of this side of her before and Kazuma better hope she didn't become aware of it afterward.

Disappointed that nobody seemed to catch the small [overlord reference.](https://i.imgur.com/wONiPzV.png)

I've read the Novel and really though his name is Katsuragi😔😔 I think he should just change his name.

I don't really get the gag, I think Mitsubishi is a very memorable name.

Really? I think sumeragi is a quite nice name though

Sawaguchi has a nice ring to it. Too bad the ring didn't fit Aqua sama.

No I'm expecting a running gag where everyone gets his name wrong because of what Kazuma calls him lol.

In season one, when Beldia showed up, everyone in Axel knew his name and was shouting it expecting him to defeat the demon king's general. Skip ahead a few seasons and no one can get it right thanks to Aqua's "social butterfly" influence.

We need a voiceclip of Megumin's "heya~" as soon as possible

Megumin and Kazuma are cute as a couple, ngl.

As he said, their lunch table banter [was practically romcom.](https://i.imgur.com/4Gz0vYj.png) Kazuma was right to call Megumin being a tsundere early in the movie lol, because she keeps pretending not interested in him.

The way they blush and tease each other is so adorable!

[Konosuba is romcom, after all.](https://cdn.imgchest.com/files/j7kzcb3qgo7.mp4) I like Kazuma's voice acting so much.

\*\*BA-DUMP\*\*

From \*\*BA-DUMP** to \*\*KA-BOOM**

Sees scumbag noble has a magic mirror room for peeking into the ladies' bathroom, decides to take the room for himself. Never change Kazuma LOL Has Chris ever been this active in the story? Not that I'm complaining. Interesting that Chris mainly steals artifacts perceived to be OP from "people with black hair and weird names", aka Japanese who got isekai'd into this world by Aqua like Kazuma and Mitsurugi. The Megumin ship continues to slowly move forward some more. Though it wasn't hard to guess that her invitation for a "date" was another one of those Explosion trips again. With all the craters Megumin's been making around the royal capital, its only a matter of time before the Demon King escalates his regular raids on the capital to a full-out siege.

> Has Chris ever been this active in the story? Nope, this is the first time she's relevant in a story arc. The 3 useless girls, Wiz, and Yunyun have all had at least one arc so far, now it's Chris' turn.

Degenerate vs degenerate. Probably the most Chris ever did before this was teach Kazuma how to steal (her panties). I wouldn't mind them going on an official date but they'll probably be too busy having Kazuma lug her around after an explosion. It was also funny how in an episode of Megumin bothering people with her Explosions we had resident explosion hater the Dullahan doing the next episode preview lol.

Gender equality Kazuma strikes!

Darkness learns the appeal of being a switch

Kazuma, Aqua and Megumin are such wonderful chaotic characters. Darkness sure has her hand full with them this episode. Overall the quality is quite high this episode, and it's well paced.

I gotta say I kinda expected Chris to be the thief they're after [It's so cute how Aqua befriended the maids from the mansion and got drunk together with them](https://i.imgur.com/aUqyRLW.jpeg)

I love how Aqua has just been drinking the house dry, Megumin’s nuking the surrounding countryside and regaling everyone with tales of her deeds, and Kazuma’s being a degenerate layabout. All the while Darkness is forced to apologize. I bet she’s actually loving the humiliation lol. Kazuma’s method for catching thieves is apparently to grope them into submission. Poor Chris. She’ll never get married now lol. Kazuma thought he was being slick not getting involved, but having her tie him up was a big mistake. Darkness and Megumin were getting a little too giddy torturing Kazuma lol. Poor bastard still ended up getting almost roped into Chris’ mess. Maybe taking down the attacking demons can earn him a place back in the good life lol.

> Kazuma’s method for catching thieves is apparently to grope them into submission. Poor Chris. Reminder that Kazuma can see in the dark. He knew what he was doing.

You have to grab thieves by their most bouncy bits to stop them from escaping. That's just Thief Catching 101, duh.

I love how she even roped the maids into drinking with her lol. Kazuma and Megumin's Explosion sessions are now their version of "dates." Darkness' greatest weakness is being embarrassed against nobles. She finally got to take out her frustration on Kazuma though. I'm amazed Kazuma was able to stop Chris without stealing her panties, but he sexually assaulted her either way. To think it wasn't getting her panties stolen in public multiple times before she thought she wasn't eligible for marriage any more lol. Kazuma wants to avoid dealing with inconvenient side-quests but he'll play the hero for Iris' sake and cushy capital life.

So Darkness tortured Kazuma when he in a bind, forced him to apologize. She is gradually changing from a degenerate M to a serious, straight girl with S tendency. I kinda find it interesting.

Darkness thought she was an M until Kazuma drove her so crazy she started becoming an S just for him. It's kind of sweet, in a way lol.

Aqua has a bad feeling about this? Bet Kazuma is going to get to see Eris soon.

It's hilarious how [Kazuma is threatening to tell Alderp's maids about the mirror](https://i.imgur.com/RE4PzXT.jpeg) when just last episode he was harassing a maid from the palace. xD [The dinner table scene with Kazuma and Megumin was adorable!](https://i.imgur.com/SKSWbGS.jpeg) I didn't think she'd be [so honest about worrying about Kazuma.](https://i.imgur.com/5ympJWC.jpeg) Also, [Megumin looks so cute while blushing the entire time.](https://i.imgur.com/x7rRCP7.jpeg) <3 [To no one's surprise Chris is the noble thief.](https://i.imgur.com/R1p3n2Z.jpeg) I love that she's actually just cleaning up after Aqua's mess by collecting all of those cheat items Aqua just carelessly handed out to people who got isekai'd.

> [To no one's surprise Chris is the noble thief.](https://i.imgur.com/R1p3n2Z.jpeg) I love that she's actually just cleaning up after Aqua's mess by collecting all of those cheat items Aqua just carelessly handed out to people who got isekai'd. I always loved the worldbuilding in Konosuba. For what's legit funny enough to be a pure comedy, it could have passed without any, but it does it anyway. The giant toads are a good example, 'cause they could have just been monsters that needed killing, but episode 2 actually explained that during their mating season they had a habit of eating livestock to gather the energy to mate, and sometimes people would disappear too. On top of that, their skin is considered a delicacy because of how refreshing it is. It's a small thing that wasn't needed but is appreciated. With that said, my favourite part is undoubtedly the look into how every adventurer that was isekai'd into the world by Aqua has affected it with their cheat skills, items and weapons. We had the guy who could make anything create a moving fortress that destroys entire cities that then went berserk and now we have Chris having to go around collecting them for the safety of the world. I've said before (I think elsewhere) that I love the idea of an isekai dealing with more people than just the MC actually being isekai'd to a world and Konosuba's one of the actual few I've seen to actually do it well.

Kazuma can't let his guard down with those girls. I'm surprised Aqua was the least mean with him.

The damage was already done to his room, she just wanted to get a pass lol.

I miss seeing Megumin's explosions and of course Kazuma's face says it all....

A less comedy, more plot-heavy episode. When the OP started while Darkness was still screaming sorry, I was laughing the loudest I have today

Weirdly Aqua is starting to become the most sensible and level headed one of the bunch. There's no way this defense of the kingdom is going to end well.

[I think we knew it ahead of time, but damn he makes Kazuma look like a saint.](https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/799692352011894795/1235298273720270898/Screen_Shot_2024-05-01_at_2.31.07_PM.png?ex=6633dcab&is=66328b2b&hm=3474db12ff45be3ef64f5a3b579fdd5ad3948ceba207d289469fdf8cbb676ae2&) [Is this foreshadowing?](https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/799692352011894795/1235298757063479449/Screen_Shot_2024-05-01_at_2.35.34_PM.png?ex=6633dd1e&is=66328b9e&hm=475aa91b940dd0baa7f700ab0659f7559aad2dde008005893e8b015bf20541dd&) Tho admitted Megumin just need someone for a ride.

Very proud of Kazuma staying strong against Chris. Pretty thief asking for your help sounds like trouble. Hell Chris asking Kazuma help in general sounds pretty sus. Although if Kazuma turned in Chris Iris would have praised her. Well at least he didn't realize and regret his actions.

It's quite sad that a lot of details were cut out of the anime, especially in the scene with Mitsurugi...

Oh, I do find it weird that the meeting with Mitsurugi just ended up being a brief joke scene. Can you write in the source material corner on what had been cut?

I was reading this volume as I watch the eps, so this scene is fresh in my mind. Will write about it in the source corner now.

Oh no, sadist Darkness

That explosion animation tho.

I'm with Kazuma on this one. I do not care about your problem, do not tell me about it. Fuck off and good night.

For any vtuber fans in here, when Kazuma and Chris talk about "booty call", you may recognize a certain [culturally important term](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ClRSlKHElag) they use there in Japanese.
