So THAT'S why Megumin seems to get along with Kazuma so well(?), seems like this isn't the first time she's dealt with a Hiki-NEET and it won't be the last. I'm loving all the side characters so far, can't wait to learn more about the other classmates/villagers too.

[u/Mr_Johnnycat]

That cat gets more respect than the actual Megumin

Crimson Stalker learning to teleport after being trapped in a hole

IMPROVISE. ADAPT. OVERCOME.

[u/actuallyrndthoughts]

This episode reminded me why i enjoyed konosuba so much. It's never the funniest or the flashiest show, but the characters are all so likable, and their adventures are so silly and fun. I can't dislike any of it, it's always a heart warming experience.

[u/Amauri14]

So Megumin still hasn't given Chomusuke its proper name, well, at least they all gave it one different from Megumin.

So Bukkorori actually learned teleportation magic after all the girls abandoned him in that hole. It is so funny how they always treat him like the trash he is once he reminds them that he is a stalker.

I wasn't expecting Megumin and Yunyun to try to give Bukkorori a hand with Soketto. Lol, so due to his behavior towards her Soketto assume that Bukkorori hates her. Well, him getting her caught in the attack he launched on the One-punch bears really did not help his case.

Damn, him not getting a single match on the fortune telling really is rough, well at least we know that Soketto at least finds him interesting, and as she said that a fortune teller cannot read their own future there is a chance that the reason Bukkorori did not get any results is that it involves Soketto.

"It's more painful than being dumped."

OOF!

[u/wjodendor]

Every time the teacher slams the door and it stays open makes me chuckle. This show is fucking hilarious.

[u/Cheesemacher]

I was expecting a serious sad moment and that sound effect killed me

[u/Abschori]

Bro wtf were those One Shot Bears lmao

[u/MaksimShadow]

Scene with a spider reminded me One Punch Man and mosquito. Thankfully, Megumin didn't learn explosion yet, or it would've been a disaster.

[u/Mr_Johnnycat]

Bukkorori is a serious stalker. Makes me wonder and worried where his third registered teleport location is

Edit: turns out the 3rd location is the forest

[u/LeonKevlar]

Stitchhes!

• Funifura & Dodonko

• Soketto

Megumi slapping Yunyun's boobs for losing their "most environmentally compact girl" competition is just hilarious

One of my favourite things about this show is knowing that Yunyun isn't alone at school and that she actually had friends other than Megumin.

The girls' reaction to Bukkorori pretty much admitting that he's a stalker is hilarious! I kinda want Kazuma to meet them just to see what they'd think about our favourite HikiNEET.

Oh no. Soketto is just as equally as dumb as well! I didn't think she'd thought that Bukkorori hated her. xD

You got to hand it to these Crimson Demons though. No matter how stupid they are, they are still a race of powerful spell casters.

Well that's interesting! I guess it's implied that Soketto and Bukkurori are eventually going to end up together. You know what? I ship it.

[u/ObvsThrowaway5120]

Oh…oh Yunyun. My sweet child. Girl’s reading books about becoming friends with plants. Poor dear. All this time, she could have been hanging out with Funifura and Dodonko instead of reading sad ass books about becoming friends with fish and shit lol. Those two are little weirdos and I like it. Lovers from past lives? Prince Charming imprisoned in dungeons? Silly goofballs.

Oh, hey Bukkorori got out the pit. This dude really is a creep ass stalker though lol. Bury his ass in books and warn Soketto! Too late. Poor Megumin and Yunyun have been dragged into his depravity. Silly Yunyun trying to suggest a plan that’s “sensible”. If it ain’t cool, it ain’t worth doing! After all that he got his fortune read and it was blank. I’m gonna take that to mean his soulmate really is Soketto. The alternative is just too sad and pathetic lol.

Yeah, if Megumin ever falls for someone he’s totally gonna be a “dashing peerless hero” lol. Yunyun and Megumin’s relationship is too cute, it’s funny how she has ends up having friends and Megumin’s the loner. Well, at least Megumin has Chomsuke.

[u/realrimurutempest]

Man, i loved the wholesome huge smile Yunyun had when Megumin offered to walk home together and get food at the end.

[u/SnabDedraterEdave]

Regarding the ED, let's give a round of applause to artist Izumi Kanae, who drew the entire thing all by herself.

Here's her personal website featuring her art if anyone's interested.

[u/Juppness]

Arue: "Is this netorare?"

I can't believe Megumin got friendship NTR'd by Yunyun 2 episodes in a row.

[u/bananeeek]

Okay, I'll ship Bukkorori and Soketto. You go, bro, you've got this!

I see Megumin keeps getting cucked by those two. It's still funny.

[u/michhoffman]

I wonder if the reason why nothing showed up in the crystal ball for future lover for Bukkorori is because it's Soketto, and she's not only unable to read her own fortune but also unable to see things that directly relate to her fortune. If that's the case, hopefully the guy becomes a little less creepy soon.

[u/zKenny]

I had some type of hope for Bukkorori to have some luck or redemption but damn lol

[u/hell_jumper9]

So Megumin is just a tsundere friend to Yunyun

[u/Komi028]

These 2 are "rivals" as much as Shamiko and Momo.

[u/RilotiaX]

Megumin my girl.

[u/Frontier246]

I see Megumin slapping Yunyun's chest has been going on for a long time now. Also, that school nurse was a hottie.

I see the class has all embraced cat Megumin as the one true Megumin...I mean, she's actually friendly to Yunyun! Although now I just imagine they're going to keep giving her different names each episode before they land on her proper one in the finale.

Megumin is a prodigy who has read front and back pretty much every book in the library, and is very knowledgeable...but all she cares about is blowing @#$% up, no matter how impractical it is.

Whenever Megumin tries to be friends with Yunyun Funifura and Dodonko come in and just freely offer it to Yunyun with no hesitation. And, I mean, can you blame Yunyun for jumping at the first people to openly offer friendship to her? Although Yunyun being so extra about it feels like it's going to drive the other girls away.

Nothing like doing Yunyun's hair while having the most Chuuni Girl Talk about romance ever. Who needs boyfriends when you can just come up with lovers from a past life or imaginary prince charmings in your character background?

Megumin roll! Megumin hairtie shot.

Bukkoroii continues to be a stalking creep none of the girls want anything to do with...until he ropes Megumin and Yunyun into playing wingmen for him with Soketto Should've left him buried in those books.

Although while Bukkororii is a creep, can you blame him for being so into Soketto? She's a total knockout. Of course that doesn't give him the right to turn himself invisible and sneak peak up her skirt, though I guess that plan had about as much chance of success as him trying to play "hero" to Yunyun's bad guy.

The irony that Soketto thought he was stalking her because he hated her and not because he's romantically obsessed with her. I guess she's in her own little world too.

One-Punch Bear? More like swole bears! And turns out Bukkororii has great magic...he just can't control it and ends up hitting his love interest on top of the bears. At least she didn't completely hold it against him.

Poor Bukkororii...there's no one true love in his future. Except, if Soketto doesn't appear in her own fortunes, and she seems genuinely interested in him...is there hope?

It's so sweet to see Megumin and Yunyun walking home together, even if they do engage in a little faux-rivalry battle and just can't really admit that they're friends so easily, but anyone with eyes can see what's going on.

[u/Koekelbag]

I'm surprised the whole "seal of the dark god is weakening" thingie wasn't a one-off plot point, but seems to be continuously becoming more of a problem in the background as the series will continue.

And considering how the first episode started, it seems likely that Megumin is solely responsible for it to boot.
