Megumin is a real friend. Very sweet episode. And TIL, their red eyes actually light up. I thought that's just for visual effects.

I like the ED song. It's my favorite along with Tengoku Daimaikyou's ED for this season.

I think i remember on Season 2 or in the movie there is a flashback scene where Yunyun used her skill point to save Komekko, is this the monster? i wonder...

Not quite bad and I enjoyed this episode more than previous episode. I just realize that the character feels so solid and it's good for next development for another seaosen.

Yes, Yunyun, you might perhaps be the only one here with common sense. Megumin's such a real friend, yes, even the part where she abuses the treat, that's exactly what a friend would do.

Golly, if Megumin was in my neighbourhood (where there are a lot of duckies), I'd be seeing a lot of dead bodies 😅

In some ways, I think Megumin is kind of a friend to Yunyun, and kind of isn't a friend to Yunyun. With Megumin having to create a medicine herself along with Arue and hand it over to Funifura so Yunyun can have her money back. And also believes that she (Megumin) is better than Yunyun.

It's great to listen and hear about both Megumin and Yunyun's interests on what they plan to do in the future.

Okay I think this is coming up to the end of the first volume of this side series unless my memory is fucked. Should be a pretty good one. This has been a pretty solid adaptation. I think the anime has cut some instances where Megumin and Yunyun would get into physical scraps like at the end of this episode and also just challenges in general because I recall it feeling like a bigger moment that Yunyun had finally won some kind of challenge .

humor was a bit better with the ducks but this show is still really bad and let's not pretend that it isn't. If you told 5 years ago that a Konosuba show will fall below an 8 rating and cannot even hit top 3 on polls on a light week, no one would believe you but here we are. This show has been watching a train wreck so far and a disaster. Overlord IV started way better than this but the reception crashed towards the end. This show already started off terribly and the movements to improve are not bringing eyes back in

Honestly, I don't think there is anyone more despicable than taking advantage of someone who has goodwill knowing that person is too noble to say no, and trying to help without expecting anything in return. Although some people might also call that person naive for being fooled, it doesn't take away from the fact that I dislike people who abuse it :P

This episode was fun, I like the dynamics between Yunyun and Megumin, overall I'm not really into this series but it can be decent. Not nearly as fun as KonoSuba tho. Well, without Kazuma and Darkness, and maybe Aqua, the show isn't the same.

I liked Megumin getting Yunyuns fund back. Pretty solid lesson this episode of scammers. Kind of surprised Yunyun is the real #1 in her class if she exerts herself.

I hope this show is going somewhere. From the movie we already know yunyun is going to not get advanced magic because she spends her points to save megumin so she dosent have too and can still reach explosion magic. It feels like im watching the movie, and the flash back scene to Yunyun spending her points has now become an entire series flashback scene.

I would like something at the very least a bit interesting to happen.

I'm amused at the 'premonition' of Megumin's party, I guess that was a humanized version of Aqua (it wasn't her normal outfit)
Kazuma being in the front while Darkness in the back was an amusing trait

I see, so they actually nabbed a demon something from another region and sealed it beneath them... such an intriguing mind... lmao 🤣🤣🤣

So that's why Yunyun is so fixated on Megumin's company. Then Megumin is damn cute blushing earlier as she showed her wonderful shining red eyes.
It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines
and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it,
is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service.

I love how Megumin's fantasy description for a future party is both 100% correct yet also wildly inaccurate at the same time.

They really wanted to afford the absolute minimum exposition they could to the skill point thing huh, I guess I should just be glad they finally explained it, even if it was 3 episodes later than it should have been and still skipped some things.

This episode had a little more of a serious vibe in comparison to the previous three episodes, but still had its comedy.

So a Crimson Demon’s eyes glow when they have strong emotion about something. Through that, we learn that Megumin has intense feelings for Yunyun and not just because they’re rivals. It was also shocking to learn that Yunyun has intentionally held back how she performs in class so that she could graduate with Megumin at the same time. That resulted in a squabble between the two that resulted in a heartfelt and serious moment where the two talk about their futures and what they want. I think that Megumin wants to be close to Yunyun and vice versa, but the two don’t know how to properly express themselves.

Bukkarori is still going after Suketo despite not having the basic communication skills to explain how he feels about her. I wonder how that will progress.

So it seems that Komekko is in trouble. Will this next episode be a serious one, or will we get back to the comedic vibes we’re used to…? There’s only one way to find out! See you next time!

Yunyun and Megumin have great chemistry with each other. Even though they're rivals, they seem like best friends.
Megumin is one stand up gal. Facing Funifura and her friend to get Yunyun's money back. Way to go Megumin.

Yunyun's so innocent wanting to be actual friends with Megu.

(and it was nice for Megu to help Yunyun, but we all know how that friendship actually ended up... RIP in main series)

.

huh... so you can rip the "pants" off of the Plants, lol.

And Megu killed the duck x2... RIP Farfetch, this is the actual unseen fate in Pokemon, read Farfetch's description. (a lot of pokemon are actually killed, eaten, abused and raped if you read the original descriptions done by the original author, but Nintendo didn't like it and forced the author to make more friendly descriptions)

.

Also... I guess Megu's antic "The Dark God in Me will awaken" turns out to be an actual thing where there was a real Dark God in their village...

It's only ever been slightly hinted until now, but Yunyun is actually very dear to Megumin. Imagine that.

Not even in KonoSuba's main story it was shown so explicitly as now.
