"KonoSuba: God's Blessing on this Wonderful World!" is a Japanese light novel, abbreviated as "KonoSuba." The series is so popular that it has sold over 10 million copies in total, and the third season is scheduled to air in April this year, which has already become a hot topic. Various characters have appeared so far, including the main character Kazuma and the heroine Aqua, but new characters will also appear in the third season. This time, I would like to introduce the new characters that will appear in the new series! Please read it as background knowledge before the broadcast!
Synopsis of the story
Kazuma Sato, a high school student, loses his life in an accident. In heaven, the goddess Aqua encourages Kazuma to reincarnate in another world, but Kazuma becomes angry at Aqua's condescending attitude, so he drags Aqua with him into the reincarnation. In the reincarnated world, Kazuma becomes an adventurer, while Aqua works as an archpriest. He then befriends Megumin and Darkness, and spends his days being bossed around by their problematic behavior, including Aqua. These problematic behaviors end up causing great turmoil. What will happen to Kazuma's life in the other world?
Berserg Stylish Sword Iris
She is the first princess of the Kingdom of Berserk and is usually called "Iris". While she exudes a royal aura, she also exudes a somewhat ephemeral atmosphere. Kazuma treats her rudely when they first meet, but she likes this and invites him into the royal palace. Her real brother is a member of the royal family and they are estranged, so she adores Kazuma as her older brother. She also has a very pure side, believing the false stories about Japan that Kazuma tells her and being moved by fried rice, a common dish. She's even been made to taste Aqua's tuna mayonnaise rice and Megumin's lobster-like crayfish dish.
Actually Quite Strong
The Berserk royal family is famous for their valor, and Iris is actually quite a capable character. With her holy sword and a special move called Extellion, she has the strength to defeat any monster, making her a cheat. Kazuma and the others accompanied Iris as a guard, but to be honest, she doesn't need a guard and can fight just fine on her own. She's one of the most active new characters in season 3.
Claire
A female knight who guards Iris. She comes from an aristocratic family, has short hair, and wears a white suit for men. Kazuma calls her "White Suit" because of the way she looks. She is a little overprotective of her master, Iris, and has feelings that go beyond loyalty. She tries not to let others know about her overflowing emotions, but it seems that they are aware of them. Since she is close to Iris, she does not have a good impression of Kazuma. When she sees Iris being influenced by Kazuma, she says, "You're starting to resemble me in your bad ways." She is on bad terms with Kazuma, but sometimes they seem to work together.
Rain
Like Claire, she is a female wizard who serves as Iris's attendant. She doesn't stand out much in appearance and gives off a plain impression. Rain herself seems to care about plain things. Compared to Iris and Claire, she has more common sense, and seems to be having a hard time being toyed with by the two naive people. Although he is from an aristocratic family, he was poor, so he has a deep understanding of the common people.
Summary of new characters for the third season
We have introduced the three new characters that have been revealed so far. Iris is the one who plays the most active role among the new characters, and I think she will become a central character. As the broadcast date approaches, there may be more new characters announced. I can't wait for the broadcast! That's all for now. Thank you for reading.
