Chomusuke is still alive only thanks to that cinnamon roll which is Yunyun, she saves that demon lord cat all the time despite Megumin's careless behaviour... XD

The descent of Aqua and Kazuma was quite spectacular, now we know Megumin and Yunyun witnessed it.

this spin off has someone made me like Meg even less, funny episode but Arnes ya know wasn't really that bad?  they didn't show it but imma be sad if shes gone  ,came to realization shes just trying to get her "cat" back meanwhile meg has shown almost no regard for the lil thing    YunYun  and Arnes deserve better lol

Wait, was Megumin really going to blow up Chomusuke along with Arnes? Good thing Yunyun was there.

Though this spin-off is not yet at the level of the main series (except for the animation which already surpassed it), I really like that Yunyun is finally getting the love she deserves. We had a taste of what a good (and cute <3) character Yunyun can be in the movie, but, within this show, I can even say she's the highlight. Best girl.

I am pretty sure she has more than enough to learn other spells by the end of main series' 2nd season...

Problem is... Megu only want's EXPLOSION and nothing else...

The other thing is... The way they gain Points to learn spells is still a bit confusing, since they pretty much skipped the school arc... (and I kinda forgot if they explained how they get skills in Main series)

We only know that apparently as students, they don't actually "learn spells" they learn how to pretend to cast spells and do poses... cause they said once they learned spells, they "graduates" from the school... Thus the reason why Megu and Yunyun had to leave the school.

We also know that they get points when they level up, but how many points, no one knows... maybe 1 per level? I do know that I remember the Explosion costs 50 points to learn when Megu showed the skill list.

And we saw how Yunyun hesitates when she was spending her points into medium spells,


Which means we don't actually know how they get points for skills or if they can actually still get any more points to learn skills...

Poor Arnes! Got humiliated, had her money taken away by a crazy crimson demon girl, and blown up in the end. And all she wanted was just to reunite with her master. I hope she’s not dead.

Both Megumin and Yunyun heading for Axel, but they're both spellcasters and would not work together, they're just stuck together lols. And for everything that Megumin proclaims out from her mouth, the flags are set, and when trouble occurs, they're called in...to kill a weak horde of giant earthworms lols, the predicament of how Aqua would be like, and Yunyun being the more capable of the 2 at hindsight. Chomusuke getting easily caught by the giant bats, and once again, Yunyun steals the show, with the adventurers doubting Megumin being goofing around. Hah, karma strikes for a third time, and by now, Yunyun would've had her magic powers completely exhausted, but what's up with the many monster attacks?

The truth can't be farther: Arnes coming back for Chomusuke a.k.a Lady Wolbach, paying back in due for the humiliation in the last episode. And Megumin hurling Chomusuke away is exactly her plan: to blast Arns away with her explosion, which Yunyun stops her from doing so. And more humiliation only reckons Arnes's hatred even further, with Megumin's explosion magic blasting her away. Yunyun hardens her heart to be stronger than Megumin, and soon, they reach Axel.

Volume 2 of the LN is completed, how would the final Volume 3 be adapted to completion?

Eww a giant earthworm >_<

Nice to have Yun Yun tag along with Megumin; them traveling together is more fun.

Wow, this place is rife with monsters. Didn't expect Arnes to reappear so early. RIP Arnes. 

Read on wiki that the bracelet attracts the scum of society. RIP indeed.

Chapter Summary:
Megumin: "I don't think we're going to be attacked by monsters on the way to Axel"
Arnes: "Are you sure about that?"
*They fight over Chomusuke, though Megumin couldn't care less what happens to him, and Arnes gets distracted because she spawns a wild Aqua from a distance*

The classic jinx effect… It’s a staple in fiction. When a character claims nothing bad will happen or that it can’t get any worse, IT DOES.

To be fair though, all of this was caused by Arnes. This emphasizes how overall Megumin is useless. She can only deliver one shot within a certain area and she’s done after that and Yunyun is able to shoot magic at a variety of targets without the risk of collateral damage. This is probably why Kazuma didn’t want Megumin in his party.

The actions that Arnes took weren’t morally wrong. Megumin took her money without handing over Chomusuke (or Wolback) as promised, so she acted accordingly. It’s funny that the DEMON is teaching humans about ethics. That says a lot about the society in this world and it can speak to our current world as well. How deep.

When Megumin said to the little girl that she is the last resort, I knew she was foreshadowing this grand show that she did when she blew Arnes up. I didn’t know that Arnes was behind the other monster attacks and I forgot that she was in the preview.

Now they’re in Axel and it’s time to get to adventuring!

Yunyun was constantly being awesome in this episode. But Megumin stole the show in the end against Arnes. Felt bad for her in the end. She was just trying to help Chomusuke.

Another eventful episode. On their way to the town of Axel, Megumin and Yunyun face several battles against monsters. Unbeknownst to them, this was the doing of the demon girl who was after Chomusuke. In an epic face-off against Megumin and the demon, the power of explosion magic shows itself, and the demon is defeated. Now we enter into the town!

The more episodes I watch, the more I hate Megumin. I was actually so sad when Arnes died as I wished that Megumin would be the dead one. Unfortunately, it is a prequel so Megumin won’t left the stage yet. So my hate for Megumin will just grow in season 3 while trying to enjoy the other cast members, praying that Megumin will just die off somewhere

If the light is aqua and kazuma coming down then this prequel is really gonna be all the way up till they meet.
