The Japanese light novel "KonoSuba: God's Blessing on this Wonderful World!" (commonly known as KonoSuba), which is popular overseas, has become a huge hit with a total of over 10 million copies of the original work. The anime version has also been well received, and the third season was broadcast in April this year, making it a hot topic as the first new series in seven years. There were many famous scenes in the first and second seasons, but what is your favorite scene? This time, I would like to introduce a ranking of famous scenes, although it is also my own subjective opinion! Please read it while making your predictions!
Introduction: 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 is angry at Aqua's mocking attitude, so he drags Aqua into reincarnation as well. In the reincarnated world, Kazuma becomes an adventurer and Aqua becomes an archpriest. After that, he makes friends with Megumin and Darkness, and spends his days being manipulated by their problematic behavior, including Aqua. And these problematic behaviors cause great turmoil. What will happen to Kazuma's life in the other world?
5th place Even my sword...!
A scene from episode 5 of season 2. Monsters suddenly appear in town, and it is suspected that the cause may be a problem with the dungeon Kazuma and his friends are investigating. Kazuma is confused that everyone is blaming them for everything, but it turns out that Aqua is actually the cause. Aqua set up a magic circle to keep monsters away, which caused the monsters to appear in town as they had nowhere to go. They head to the dungeon to remove the magic circle, but there they find monsters clinging to people and self-destructing one after another. Since they approach on their own, they are naturally easy enemies to defeat. While fighting these enemies, Darkness is impressed and says, "I can hit them with my sword!" It is a happy and sad scene in which Darkness, who cannot even hit enemies that are stationary, feels happy that she can defeat them herself.
4th place: Rock-paper-scissors showdown
This is a scene from episode 7 of season 2. They decide to get on a carriage to travel, but one of the seats is taken up by a basket containing a baby red dragon, so someone has to sit on the carriage. They decide who will sit on the carriage by rock-paper-scissors, and Aqua loses. However, Aqua says at the moment of her loss that it's not a matter of winning or losing, showing her refusal to give up. Kazuma suggests that she can win at least once out of the three matches, and Aqua readily agrees, but the result is a crushing defeat. Despite this, Aqua begged for another match, and Kazuma finally gave in and decided to challenge her again. Aqua cast a spell on herself to increase her luck, and didn't seem to mind Kazuma's criticism. In the end, Aqua lost and had to ride in the back of the cart.
Third Place: Kazuma Takes Aqua Down with Him
This is a scene from episode 1 of the first season. I'm sure many people remember this scene. Having died in the real world, Kazuma is forced to make a choice by the goddess Aqua in the afterlife. In addition to "going to heaven" and "being reborn," Kazuma chose a third option: "reincarnating as a hero." Kazuma can only choose one thing to take to the other world, but Aqua starts yelling at him while urging him to go. Kazuma is angry and declares that he will take Aqua with him. Aqua says, "There's no way I can do that," but when a successor goddess appears, she is sent to the other world. Kazuma, who has been told whatever he wants, takes this opportunity to fight back, and you can see how interesting the character Kazuma is from the beginning.
Second place: Conviction as a knight
This is a scene from episode 10 of the first season. It turns out that the ancient weapon's activation fortress, the Destroyer, has gone out of control and is approaching the town where Kazuma and his friends live. The Destroyer is a powerful enemy that has enough firepower to destroy an entire town, and has a magic resistance barrier that is immune to magic attacks. Kazuma and his friends band together to protect the town against the Destroyer. Kazuma's plan was to use Aqua's magic to remove the magic resistance barrier, and then use Megumin and Wiz to launch an explosive magic attack. While they were steadily preparing to fight the Destroyer, Darkness was on guard outside the town's walls. After the enemy attacked, Kazuma told them to retreat because it was dangerous, but Darkness revealed that she was the lord's daughter and said the following lines.
I am a knight. It is my duty and pride to protect the lives of the people of the territory.
Usually, Darkness is not good at fighting and stands out, but at this moment, you can feel her resolve as a knight, which is very cool.
No. 1 Change of Feelings
The honorable No. 1 is a scene from episode 7 of season 1. The town walls are destroyed due to Aqua's reckless attack, and Kazuma and his friends challenge a quest with a good return to repay their debt. They were careless because the enemies were not as strong as they thought, but halfway through, a special monster called Winter General appears. Kazuma is slashed by Winter General during the battle and wanders the afterlife. Eris promises him a happy afterlife, but Kazuma, waiting for reincarnation, can't help but mutter the following lines.
It seems that he actually liked that no-good world that he thought he hated. I wish I could have gone on more adventures with those guys.
Until now, Kazuma had thought of Aqua and the others as a nuisance and had spoken nasty things to them, but now he realizes his true feelings, which he himself had not realized. It's an impressive scene that changes your image of Kazuma.
