KonoSuba, the light novel about reincarnation in another world, is one of the most popular light novels on the theme of reincarnation in another world. Both the original work and the anime are doing well, and the third season of the anime will be broadcast in April this year for the first time in seven years, so expectations are already high. By the way, do you know which volume of the original work corresponds to the third season? In this article, we will predict which volume is likely to be broadcast in the new series and introduce the synopsis!
Story Synopsis
Kazuma Sato, a high school student, loses his life in an accident. In heaven, the goddess Aqua invites Kazuma to reincarnate in another world, but Kazuma is angry at Aqua's mocking attitude, so he drags Aqua into reincarnation. 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 another world?
Which volume of the original will be the third season?
I expect that the third season of the anime version of KonoSuba will broadcast volumes 6 and 7 of the original. Volumes 1 and 2 were broadcast in the first season, volumes 3 and 4 in the second season, and volume 5 in the movie version. If all goes well, it is safe to assume that volumes 6 and onwards will be animated. By the way, this work also has a comic version, which is likely to cover volumes 9 to 13. From now on, I will introduce the plot of volumes 6 and 7 as a preview. I will try not to give away too many spoilers, so even those who don't like spoilers can rest assured.
Plot of Volume 6: Iris' First Appearance
New character Iris makes her first appearance. Perhaps because Kazuma and his friends' daily efforts were recognized, the princess invited them to dinner. Apart from Darkness, who is of noble birth, Kazuma had never experienced a formal occasion such as dining with royalty. After all that happened, the day of the event arrived. Iris, who had taken a liking to Kazuma during the dinner party, begged him to stay with her. Kazuma didn't seem to mind either, so he decided to stay at the castle to keep Iris company. While he was playing board games with Iris, Darkness and the others came to pick him up, worried about him. Kazuma was satisfied with his luxurious life at the castle, and didn't want to leave Iris. That night, Kazuma caught Chris, a thief who was trying to steal the Sacred Treasures from the castle. Kazuma let her go, but later Chris came back and asked him to retrieve the Sacred Treasures. What decision will Kazuma make in this situation?
Summary of Volume 7: Darkness' condition...?
A banquet is to be held to celebrate the defeat of the monsters, and Kazuma returns to the mansion with high-quality ingredients. However, Darkness never returns. A few days later, he finally receives a letter from Darkness, saying, "I'm leaving the party, so I'd like you to add a new member." Kazuma tries to find a replacement for Darkness, but Megumin behaves strangely by introducing herself loudly. In fact, this was her plan, and she was trying to protect Darkness' seat by playing the role of a crazy person. But why did Darkness disappear? Her purpose will gradually become clear, but from here on, please enjoy the original work!
Summary of the plot of volumes 6 and 7 of the original
Volumes 6 and 7 of the original are mainly about the appearance of new characters and the disappearance of Darkness. The new character Iris is very elegant, but the highlight is seeing how she changes after meeting Kazuma. Darkness seems to have a secret that she is hiding, which may be related to the reason why she disappeared. If you are interested, please check out the original! That's all for now. Thank you for reading.
