Wow she actually left the village and it's just been only 6 episodes. I totally thought she'd be in the village for most of the season.

what a nice episode xd

Very random about the demon that wanted to take Chomosuke, although he served the money to Megumin, that's fine xd

What a beautiful moment with Komekko, I almost shed a tear xdd

Seeing Megumin and Yunyun with their classical outfits and the humour the episode had gave me so many nostalgic memories from when I first watched Konosuba years ago, I had just started to watch anime and I got recommended Konosuba, I'll never forget those cozy nights just watching the entirety of the show and I'm finally getting the same feeling with Bakuen.

It feels like a time machine, back to simpler times

Armed with explosion magic, Megumin can finally start her self-expedition...though at this stage, she's hardly recognized for it.

Out of jobs, she and Bukkorori being NEETs, it's a damning inditement on her life as a job hunter lols. And within a night of explosion magic within the village, Yunyun immediately accusing Megumin for her magic to defeat the Demon Lord's Army, this isn't working out. Though Yunyun provided her rival for a fair few jobs...that have their own intricacies, they're torn and battered. To release all that stress, a daily release of explosion magic that has Bukkorori coming to see the commotion, and Megunmin just casually releasing information on the Mad Explorer, it may be a lie, but it's not a lie either as a similar demon woman that Megumin described, drops by her house, and Arnes pledges her allegiance...to Chomusuke. Though she has the money, Megumin delays a day.

The next day, Yunyun got a shock that Megumin is selling Chomusuke to Arnes for 300,000 eris, though the demon cat is unwilling to give itself to her, which he exposes that Arnes indeed is the Mad Exploder that both Megumin and Yunyun are sure for now that they will never hand Chomusuke to her. Though Arnes subconsciously collapsed to Chomusuke about promises, Bukkorori has to drop around to attract all worthless men to her compound...and I feel so bad about her being a magnet of men with a vast amount of mana that sucks to her.

Megumin, tired of all the hoop-la back at home, still wants to venture out on her own, and leaves Chomusuke with her as both girls part ways. A promise made to Komekko that she'll be alright, and as Megumin leaves the Crimson Demon village onwards to Alcanretia, the farewell with Funifura's iconic staff and Arue's iconic eyepatch that has long restricted her power that she wants to be a writer to write of Megumin's adventures, it's time to go.

Onwards to more Megumin-centric adventures!

Man, this episode really got me emotional. And we're just halfway through the series?!

Normally this kind of feels are reserved for the last episodes. I hope the series won't go downhill from here. Cause I've had a blast. The show just got better and better in the last few episodes.

I never thought I'd be SO invested in Megumin and Yunyun's relationship. Their parting felt so sad even if I knew they'd meet a lot of times in the future.

And thankfully, in the preview, it seems they're going to reunite very soon. :)

I honestly didn't expect Megumin to leave the village until maybe the end of the season. Definitely not at only the halfway point. It was funny seeing Megumin and Yunyun job hunting. I know all too well how difficult it can be finding a good job that doesn't suck. They tried many different jobs and none stuck obviously. The potatoes flying around hitting them made me laugh. The weird demon lady Arnes coming to get Komsuke ended up helping Megumin so she could get that cash she needed to teleport. A nice sum of cash just falling into Megumin lap. Only to be chased off by the worthless me of the Crimson demon village. Arnes bring able to sense worthless men because she's been fooled those types so much was hilarious. Sensing the men summoned to fight her after Megumin pinned all the explosions on her. I almost got teary eyed hearing Megumin praise Kommeko on what will be their last night for a while. Megumin getting all her gifts like the iconic staff and eye patch was great. A wonderful send off from the village as Megumin departs.

That's how Megumin got her iconic eyepatch and now she's off on her great journey. Back to back profound episodes and no shortage of fun either. Lying and selling Chomosuke? Megumin at her worst. Harvesting potatoes was also hilariously traumatizing lmao

Though the comedy from this spin-off still doesn't match how good it was on the original series and the movie, the show is undoubtedly getting better.

We got emotional moments, but also fun and crazy stuff as usual.

I can't believe Megumin would will to sell Chomusuke that easily xD... well, I actually CAN believe it.

Now that mal is back after being down for a few days I can finally post my chonky reviews lol

I guess not being able to find a job is a good reason to want to leave on a journey lol, but man it was a really heartfelt goodbye, especially from Komekko and Yunyun. I also like that we now know most of Megumin’s defining features of her look came from her friends, including Arue’s totally normal eyepatch lol. I’m sad to see Megumin leaving the funny little village already but I’m looking forward to her coming journey!

And not only that, we also finally met Arnes after her having one scene earlier in the show, and if I’m not mistaken that thing she has on her that’s attracting “worthless men” came from Megumin’s dad lol. She’s fun tho, she seemed really serious at first but once she went crazy about promises she kinda mellowed out, and she also has a nice character design, hope to see more of her if she didn’t suffer certain death by the crimson demons lol.

Megumin and Yunyun as well as Komekko's interactions were unusually wholesome to see, more so than usual. Even though I already know these two will meet up again, I kinda felt something when they parted.

How nice to see the background of all the accessories and the cane that Megumin always carries with her, and which were actually memories of her friends who together formed her characteristic outfit.
PS: Yunyun and Komekko still made me feel a bit sad when they said "come back soon" even though she wasn't ready to leave yet, but Arnes made me feel even more sad because in addition to being rejected about 3 times by Wolbach, the they ended up scamming and being persecuted by half the village XD

I feel bad for Arnes. She has the worst luck with men. Not only did she pay 300k eris for Chomusuke but couldn't get her. She was interrupted by the blood lust of men in Megumin's village.
It's kinda funny how Megumin struggled to find a job after graduating but was able to barter for 300k from a demon lol.

And we're slowly heading toward the point where Megu starts to travel toward the direction of the impending doom... I mean... the group of disaster, LOL

And this is where Megu and Yunyun went separate days... and Megu gets her current equips

Arue best onee-chan, she has a lot of potential and magic power, but decide to go the writer route huh...

.

BTW,

"I am sad to leave her too, BUT I WANT THAT 300,000 dollar"

LOOOOOL, Corpa Megu huh...

.

And poor Arnes... her misfortune seems to be coming from the bracelet that Megu's parents made...

Now it makes sense how Megu's family has such bad luck and is poor.. It's all from the the stupid magic accessories Megu's dad is making... OOF.

.

I'll be missing the Academy girls as Megu goes to the next zone.

Must be hard for Megumin finding roles that require spells other than explosion. Letting off the explosion to show her frustration really is like Megumin. Quite the variety of jobs they ended up trying though. But can't be fun being clubbed by sentient potatoes. So Lady Wolbach's lakey finally arrives. Such a poor side effect though being a magnet for men. The farewell scenes was pretty cute and heartwarming. So that was where Megumin got the eyepatch from.

Just a small nitpick, the cat is a god like Aqua and Eris, not a demon like Vanir or Arnes herself.
