The "KonoSuba: God's Blessing on this Wonderful World!" anime series is currently gaining momentum, with the spin-off "KonoSuba: Explosion on this Wonderful World!" also set to be made into an anime. What do you think is the appeal of this series? While there are many different ways to enjoy this series, when asked what the appeal of this series is, many fans would answer, "The many fascinating female characters that appear." This series is particularly popular for its female characters compared to other animated works, and it could be said that the many fascinating female characters that appear in this series are the source of its popularity! So, in this article, we'd like to give a brief summary of the various fascinating female characters that appear in this series! By watching this, you'll be able to fully enjoy this spin-off even if you're watching it for the first time! Be sure to check it out!
Aqua, the Goddess of Reincarnation
The first female character to appear in this series is Aqua, the goddess of water. When Kazuma dies in an accident, Aqua appears as the goddess who explains the nature of reincarnation and the cause of his death. For this reason, many fans may have thought she wasn't a regular character. Unfortunately, Kazuma, angry at being mocked, drags her down with him and they end up reincarnating together. Despite being a goddess, she ends up becoming a part of Kazuma's useless party.
A mysterious character who seems like she'd be popular, but isn't
Strangely enough, this female character has appeared in the KonoSuba series since its very beginning, so it seems like she'd be popular, but in reality, she doesn't seem to be that popular.
Maybe the other characters are just too strong...
If we consider her purely from a looks perspective, she doesn't seem all that bad, but her teasing nature, established from the beginning, and the fact that the other female characters are so popular with men in the first place, seem to be the reasons for Aqua's low popularity.
Megumin, the Magician Obsessed with Explosive Magic
Megumin, a magician from the Crimson Demon Clan, is the magician in charge of magic in Kazuma's party. Her name is a bit odd, but that's because she comes from the Crimson Demon Clan, a strange clan riddled with chuunibyou. Although all members of the Crimson Demon Clan are chuunibyou, they are a race capable of extremely advanced magic and are actually a very reliable fighting force. However, she still has a strong presence.
Overwhelmingly popular! A spin-off series is also being developed!
However, perhaps due to her well-received character, Megumin has garnered immense popularity in the series. Her popularity has even led to the development of a spin-off work starring her. There aren't many characters who weren't originally the main characters but have since gained their own work due to their popularity, so this also shows that Megumin has an exceptional character.
Dating Kazuma!?
Megumin, one of the most popular characters in this series, is actually dating Kazuma, the series' main protagonist. The story details the events that lead up to their relationship, from when she becomes close to Kazuma to when they start dating, so be sure to pay attention to this as you enjoy the series.
Her family is also extremely popular
In addition to Megumin, her sister and mother also appear in this work, and they are also extremely popular. Megumin's family will likely also appear in the spin-off work, "KonoSuba: Explosions in this Wonderful World!", so be sure to keep an eye out for that.
Darkness: The Super Masochistic Swordsman
Darkness is a swordsman active on the front lines and a member of Kazuma's party. Despite being a swordsman, she possesses the contradictory personality of a masochist. The contrast between her dignified appearance and her inner self is what makes her so appealing.
Shares popularity with Megumin!?
With her mature appearance and radical personality, she is a character who stands in stark contrast to Megumin, splitting her fanbase with Megumin. The debate over whether to support Megumin or Darkness is unavoidable in this work, and this makes her an important character who connects the series to a fanbase that Megumin cannot capture.
Characterized by a wide range of aggressive material
Darkness, in particular, is known for her masochistic nature, and is characterized by her many aggressive material. She often plays the role of a sexy character, a characteristic of isekai reincarnation works, making her a very welcome character for viewers.
Wiz: The Archwizard with No Business Acumen
Wiz, the archwizard and store manager, supports Kazuma's adventures materially. As an archwizard, she was originally positioned as an enemy of Kazuma, but as the story progressed, she became Kazuma's ally. Although originally a character on the Demon King's side, her human appearance made her a character that was easily accepted.
A Stable Choice
Wiz is a popular character thanks to her mature appearance and gentle demeanor. In stark contrast to Darkness, she's not a very assertive character, so few viewers dislike her, and she enjoys a certain level of support from all audiences.
Her airheadedness is adorable
She also appears a little too laid-back in the story, making small mistakes. Many fans seem to find her airheadedness endearing.
Luna, the Receptionist, Was Actually an Original Character in the Anime
Luna is the quest receptionist who provides Kazuma and his friends with requests. Originally an original character in the anime, Luna's adorable appearance made her popular and led to her being reintroduced into the original work.
Reimported into the Original Work
The fact that she was reimported into the original work reflects her popularity. When she actually appeared in the original work, it caused quite a stir in some circles.
Concerned about her marriage date
Luna is often depicted throughout the story as being concerned about her marriage date, suggesting she is a slightly older character. While the series features many characters with mature appearances, Luna possesses a slightly more mature aura compared to them. Fans who enjoy slightly older female characters will likely find her irresistible.
Yunyun: The Magician with the Most Unlucky Constitution
Yunyun is Megumin's rival and childhood friend. As her unique name suggests, she is also a member of the Crimson Demon Clan and is skilled in magic. While the Crimson Demon Clan is generally characterized by chuunibyou, Yunyun is a rare example, not exhibiting any chuunibyou-like personality traits, making her a very approachable Crimson Demon.
I have no friends...
However, among the Crimson Demons, who are full of chuunibyou, not being chuunibyou means being an oddball, so she has few friends among them, and in the past, only Megumin paid any attention to her. As a result, her recollections often depict her having no friends and living a lonely life playing alone, which can be a little sad.
Megumin is too strong...
Also, in terms of character popularity, Megumin's popularity is so overwhelming that she is a character who receives little attention and is treated extremely unfairly. She is a character who has few friends in the story and few fans in real life, and she bears a very lonely fate.
Maybe she'll be featured in this work? ?
This series focuses on the Crimson Demons, including Megumin, so perhaps Yunyun will also feature in some capacity. While I'm concerned about whether she'll be able to promote herself without being overwhelmed by the strength of the other Crimson Demons, there's no doubt she has hidden potential, so I'd love to support her.
