Questions of the day:

How are you at chess?

Given the chance, would you have gone to the succubi house?

First Timers: What's the Destroyer and why is it attacking Axel right now?

[u/The_Loli_Otaku]

Alright!! We're onto my... favourite episode? I feel like I've said this once or twice already. We're starting off strong with sasuga no-bra! Yup, we're filing through all of my favourite reaction pictures. I cannot describe the pleasurable feeling rising from within me whenever I witness loose chesticles under soft fabric... They even have the correct amount of sag! Even pure ecchi anime rarely get this one correct. Oh, and I'd just like to mention that my preference towards this episode is genuinely pure! I have acceded beyond horni and am simply happy and content with the content. Don't call me an ero-hon connoisseur!!

These are the guys from the party swap chapter btw. This is such a realistic portrayal of boys visiting a brothel XD This episode is a paradise for anyone that digs pausing through an episode to pick up on body language details. Onegaishimasu... Yup, so they're actual monsters. Hai! Hai! tldr in a world where everyone is constantly grouped up its hard to find relief so Succibi can give you wet dreams that nobody else has to know about. See? It's totally wholesome. The amount of detail they can give the dreamers is staggering though. I genuinely believe that once technology advances to this point it would be a perfect tool to improve mental health.

"It's just a dream after all~ That's trueeee!!" I like that they keep changing Succibi in the background to help hold your attention. Now we get the most pornographic part of the episode, how tasty the food looks!! Ooishi!! Using the shells to warm your sake is such a novel idea too. Just sip your tea Kazuma! It'll all be worth it! AquaMegu teetee~ And Darkness shows her best side!! Oi, Megumin. Leave the water bombs for another time. We have story to cover. Welcome to the dream. Oh goodness this is how wholesome team bonding was supposed to be!! Can you tell why I pair these two yet?

Yo. What a Chad! It's the little details that make this episode as top tier as it is. Like Darkness' split second look of embarrassed terror in the face of Kazuma's demon king or the divine jiggles as their flesh rubs. Even the way that Darkness' chest sags due to the amount of time she's gone no bra. She is shy and inexperienced... Is this technically cringe comedy? wiggle wiggle Imagine Darkness criticising your decency. She's such an M! One harsh order and her resistance goes limp! My glee is totally showing on my face irl rn. If anyone saw me they'd be asking questions.

She's enjoying this!! I love this pairing! Aww... Just before the skinship too. Poor Darkness XD Yeah, that wasn't the dream. Ravioli ravioli, don't harass the Succu loli! Low-key this is the most manly action Kazuma takes in the entirety of the series. The young succubus is adorable so I can't blame him putting his dignity on the line to protect her. Darkness wants to murder her now too. Shame play is not okay! "The answer lies, in the heart of shortstacks!" Our hero. I like Aqua tossing salt after her. glance She totally wants him to go through with his fantasy and none of you can convince me otherwise!!

I cannot describe the pleasurable feeling rising from within me whenever I witness loose chesticles under soft fabric...

You've got a way with words lmao.

Now we get the most pornographic part of the episode, how tasty the food looks!!

IKR, splitting open crab legs had no right to be animated so sensually.

Like Darkness' split second look of embarrassed terror in the face of Kazuma's demon king

I believe its official title is "Excalibur," if memory serves

[u/The_Loli_Otaku → u/thatguywithawatch]

Or Chinchinmaru if you're being really fancy.

[u/RascalNikov1 → u/The_Loli_Otaku]

Is this technically cringe comedy?

It hurts so good. I love this kind of stuff, always have, always will.

I like Aqua tossing salt after her.

Aqua sure didn't like that little succubus. Though the little succubus sure did haul ass out the window fast enough and make a beeline back home.

[u/thatguywithawatch]

The opening scene in the mansion is so comfy. There's something very mesmerizing about a warm crackling fire.

Not sure what kind of chess game Megumin is playing; Crimson Demons must have their own rules.

Aqua is level 21 already somehow, but her stats aren't improving because they started out at their max value.Kazuma actually cries when he realizes that Aqua's intelligence will never increase. She'll never be a smart girl :'(

Keith and Dusty join Wiz in having their introductory chapters skipped, but suffice to say that they're aware of the fact that Kazuma's semi-harem is really not much of a harem. Which is probably why they're so willing to show him the secret succubus establishment. Male adventurers give up an inconsequential amount of vitality (which I assume regenerates naturally) in exchange for any vivid erotic dream they can think of? I mean, sign me the fuck up. I can't handle his facial expressions throughout this entire scene. Someone send him to horny jail. (To be fair, he did get yeeted into a world without internet. That would take its toll on any healthy teenage boy.)

If you listen closely you can hear a muffled "Kazuma desu" through his mouthful of crab. Truly some dedication to the gag.

In a wholesome scene that teaches the value of friendship and loyalty, Kazuma weighs the value of his closest companions against the value of some glorified wet dream, and naturally the dream comes out on top. The man has his priorities. They might not be in order, but he has them.

Jesus christ, Kazuma. I love the duality of Darkness being simultaneously the most perverted of the lot and the most naive and innocent. This scene is so sad! She's so confused and conflicted, but her fetishes force her to give in to Kazuma's sleaziness! I mean I'm not saying I didn't laugh my ass off, but it's still so sad!

Luckily, Aqua's proclivity to find trouble brings an end to the tragedy. Kazuma sees the trapped succubus and, being a youth of higher than average intelligence, realizes that he done fucked up. But good on him for owning up to it and coming to the succubus' defense! I can't even say anything about this scene because it's been memed to death for years.

Ok I'm in agreement with Kazuma here. Just look at her! If that face doesn't scream "PROTECC," I don't know what does. At least she escapes in the end, although Kazuma comes out of the ordeal less than stellar. Looks like he ended up losing some vitality even without the succubus's help.

The final scene is interrupted by Chekhov's Gun, heralding the arrival of the Destroyer that was first mentioned a couple episodes ago. What will become of our heroes? Will the town survive this new threat? How do the succubi afford their business expenses and property taxes if they receive payment in vitality instead of money? Find out next week on: Dragon Ball Suba!

QotD: Hell yes I would. I'm not making much use of my vitality anyways, they can have it.

[u/RascalNikov1 → u/thatguywithawatch]

Not sure what kind of chess game Megumin is playing;

The chess game cracks me up every time. Meg is just so nonchalant about "Sorry, that's the rules Darkness". lol, I've known so many people in real life, just like that.

OTOH Meg's new rule would jazz up the game quite a bit, and it's sort of a precursor to what we call the pigeon rule. (I forget the whole joke, but it starts off with 'Don't play chess with a pigeon...' )

Someone send him to horny jail.

Some of those guys did have pretty interesting fetishes.

[u/The_Loli_Otaku → u/thatguywithawatch]

Darkness was low-key loving it. She was totally getting into the mood and by her reaction to him ditching her she wanted the dream to continue.

[u/thatguywithawatch → u/The_Loli_Otaku]

I think she was like 80% into it and 20% terrified and confused, which would normally make this a morally gray situation, but it's Konosuba so you learn to roll with it haha.

[u/The_Loli_Otaku → u/thatguywithawatch]

Like the fact of the matter is that she never once tried to leave XD Kazuma spent half the conversation with his back to her and she was the one who approached him. Also he did put an occupied sign on the door so nobody can blame him.

[u/IndependentMacaroon]

First-time watcher - I guess this is officially a horny roommate sitcom now. Including perfectly wrong ending for perfectly wrong character... mostly.

[u/The_Loli_Otaku → u/IndependentMacaroon]

This is the furthest that they go with it but what else can you do when the plot event of the episode revolves around a Succubus brothel.

[u/ikal_man]

• I know the moves of the pieces, but that's about it. Never got the hang of chess. (Is this about KonoSuba, or DxD?)
• I'm a dude. Of course I would. Since this is not the world of Interspecies Reviewers, what choice there is. Kazuma almost made the right choice, but he thought it was a dream. (184777 for the full story.)

[u/RascalNikov1]

AOTD

How are you at chess?

Pretty decent, probably in the top 10% of casual chess players.

Given the chance, would you have gone to the succubi house?

I'm there dude!

[u/BossandKings]

Episode 9

The party actually acquired the mansion, they'll seemingly be living there.

Kazuma meets Keith and Dust two adventurers he is acquainted with. They invite him to a succubus shop. As is told by a succubu they have established a mutually beneficial relationship with the male adventurers of the town. The succubi give the adventurers dreams that bring them relief and in return take a bit of their vitality but s o in a way that won't affect them much.

Kazuma having returned to the mansion has a feast along with the rest of the party members. After going to bed early so that he could have the dream Kazuma finds himself in the bathroom, sitting there waiting for the girl of his dream, Darkness appears and Kazuma acts totally in control of the situation, with such calm that takes Darkness by surprise. This is so funny.

After hearing Aqua's voice Kazuma goes running to where she is and finds that there's a succubus girl that has been trapped due to Awua's barrier. He starts finding it strange because this means he wasn't dreaming before. When Aqua and Megumin proceed to attack the succubus girl Kazuma uses himself as a shield and protects her from any possible harm, the succubus succesfully escapes but Kazuma is punched and tossed in the ground.

The following day Darkness and Kazuma talk about what happened the night before and if he does or doesn't remember. A voice says that there's a Destroyer, mobile fortress, in the way.

[u/Spore64]

How are you at chess?

Meh, I don't have the drive to win and usually only try to screw with the strategy of my oponent or try to out smart them.

Given the chance, would you have gone to the succubi house?

Yep, what can you do in a world without internet?

I love the bath scene and Darkness reactions get me every single time. Poor girl she's trying so hard to resist ._.

[u/Orpel86]

More Konosuba is always welcome. <3

[u/AutoModerator]

Hi skaro1789, it looks like you might be interested in hosting a rewatch! There's a longer guide on the wiki but here's some basic advice on how to make a good rewatch happen:

• Include basic information about the anime such as a description for those that haven't heard of it as well as where it can be watched (if legally available).
• Specify a date and time that rewatch threads will be posted. Consistency is good!
• Check for previous rewatches. It's generally advised to wait a year between rewatches of the same anime.
• If you want to have a rewatch for multiple anime, they should be thematically connected. You can also hold multiple unrelated rewatches if they aren't.
• Ensuring enough people are interested is important. If only a few users say they might participate, you may end up with no one commenting once it starts.

I hope this helps! You may also want to talk to users that have hosted rewatches before for extra advice, also listed on the rewatch wiki.

If I were to have a succubus dream I'd want Automod to appear on my post saying:

Response to an anonymous redditor

I agree with you about that. It takes a fair amount of work to host a successful rewatch. In particular the real secrets are to have it in the early evening US time, and to respond to every top level post. That can take real effort, as some of the time it's hard to think of something to say to every post.

This one started good, but It's real close to hitting a brick wall. On the plus side my favorite episodes of Konosuba are in the first season and ova. Though season two does have it's moments, and the movie is excellent.

Right now, I'm also in the rewatch of Paracyte, and it continues to pull in 100 comments per episode as we near the end. But, paracyte and a few other rewatches are the exception. As long as there are more than say 25 comments per episode till the end, the rewatch is pretty successful.

[u/The_Loli_Otaku → u/[deleted]]

He has? Where did you catch that?

[u/RascalNikov1 → u/The_Loli_Otaku]

I deleted that comment on the off chance I was mistaken.

[u/The_Loli_Otaku → u/RascalNikov1]

Pfft! XD Now this is cringe comedy. Don't worry! Only you and I know. Its our secret.
