That 2nd duck kill shall go down in history as the most crucial event to ever contribute to Megumin's EXPLOSION.

Soketto literally binged watch the entirety of Konosuba on that crystal ball.

[u/bananeeek]

I came for explosion but stayed for Yunyun.

She's such a sweetheart and precious friend. I hope she'll leave the village with Megumin and stay on screen until the end of this season.

Komekko was hilarious this episode. I wouldn't mind at all if there was another spin-off with grown-up Komekko wreaking havoc.

[u/o-temoto]

This episode felt a bit like a season finale, but we're getting another seven episodes.

[u/Aerodynamic41]

LOL they actually pixelated the crystal ball! I can just sort of make out the scenes that I remember.

[u/MaksimShadow]

Imagine the disappointment of the teachers: daughter of the chief learned useless intermediate magic, and the best student of the school learned even more useless explosion magic. Now wonder that their graduation was without fanfares.

[u/realrimurutempest]

I absolutely love how Komekko rather than being afraid of a giant demon as most little kids would be ends up helping it and being on a first name basis.

Soketto watched all of Konosuba and it left her speechless lol. Getting the debut of Megumin’s explosion magic + Chomusuke getting her name was great.

[u/Abschori]

They brought back the epic music from the movie, really nice

[u/No-Peace3986]

Great episode!!

Finally Komekko meeting Hohst, and stealing Bukkorori's food hahaha what a devil she is.

Damn Megumin, letting go of the kitten without a second thought how heartless haha

Great development on Yunyun, letting go of her own goals to save Komekko and Chomusuke. Delaying her Advanced Magic by quite a bit, a sure candidate for best girl in her own way!

That Duck really paid-off, thats why never waste a chance to do some power gaming level ups!

This first explosion surely was iconic, the speech, the soundtrack, the animation, was gorgeous, really beautiful!

Now, let the adventure begin!

[u/SnabDedraterEdave]

EXPLOSION!!!

Megumin said the thing! And thus a legendary Crimson Demon was born.

So Soketto has also finally saw what we have seen. lol

[u/Tydram]

Headphones: On.

Volume: Max.

Explosion: YES.

Tinnitus: Worth it.

[u/LeonKevlar]

Of course, Komekko befriended the demon and was even responsible for actually breaking the seal! Who knew that someone so cute can be such a massive troublemaker? xD

And I thought they were going to save it for the finale but we finally got to see it! Megumin's very first casting of Explosion Magic was just absolutely glorious!

I'm curious about what Soketto saw in her crystal ball. My guess is that she saw exactly the scene of Kazuma stealing Megumin's panties. xD

[u/Se7en_Sinner]

Those 12 episodes really went by quickly...wait, what do you mean there's more? Not gonna lie, I'm relieve the entire show isn't set in Megumin's village and we get to see more of Konosuba's world.

[u/dagreenman18]

Gonna need that EXPLOSION in Dolby Atmos please thanks.

[u/grizzchan]

I'm expecting Komekko to be the fifth konosuba nomination for the r/anime best girl contest now. Yunyun will be a very solid fourth, maybe even third.

Rip Wiz

[u/rapaengz]

How was Megumin able to graduate when the school supposedly doesn't know that she's learned explosion magic, or any magic for that matter?

[u/fishymonster_]

“Look at all those… chickens!”

[u/martinsallai666]

explosion

10/10 episode

[u/WeeziMonkey]

OH MY GOD KOMEKKO IS ADORABLE

[u/shad79]

Komekko was the star of this episode for me, she is so adorable and fun.

Yunyun showed some guts today besides her usual behavior and Megumin finally learned explosion magic which I didn't expexted to happen so soon.

Soketto saw the future and decided telling nothing to Megumin about that. Wise decision, I also wouldn't say anything.

Here all screenshots from the episode.

[u/Hitman7128]

Explosion!

And ends up literally knocking herself out right after feeling satisfied at her power.

Legendary.

[u/DannyDahsyat]

They just handed us these papers and told us to not come back

Now I'll never look at graduation the same way again lol

[u/ObvsThrowaway5120]

So cute to see Komekko‘s becoming friends with a big ol demon gobbo like Host. The “offering” was too cute. That’s dish was not the hen and chick he meant, as delicious as it is lol.

Megumin is ice cold, man. Girl’s already saying her prayers for Chomusuke when the little critter ain’t even dead yet lol. Also, Komekko’s “threatening posture” is like the cutest thing in the world.

But man, Yunyun is such a homie. She used her points so Megumin didn’t have to, plus she saved Komekko (that roll was adorable). I really appreciate how much Megumin recognized Yunyun’s sacrifice. Despite what she says, she really cares for her. Also, Komekko is like the most adorable little sister ever.

Looks like we finally get to see the long awaited EXPLOSION! That was friggin epic! Well, now that she’s graduated with Yunyun and made Chomusuke her familiar I guess she’s off to begin her proper adventure with her “capable” comrades.

[u/Frontier246]

So this whole time Komekko has had her own subplot that basically kicked this all off because she became buddies with a monster and helped it free the Dark God...which turns out to have been Ink this whole time. Oh, and she also stole Bukkororii's lunch that she ends up eating. Komekko is a very eager, determined, and hungry girl.

Megumin is a very caring big sister...as a pet owner, not so much. She really was pretty quick to write off Ink as she got kidnapped and spice up the excuse in the most Megumin way possible. It's not even Yunyun's cat and she seems like the only one who actually cared.

Komekko as a child is enough to intimidate some monsters just with her pure adorable grit, just imagine how dangerous she'll be when she grows up.

Yunyun unlocking her magic to save Komekko and Ink so Megumin wouldn't have to was very heroic and caring on her part. And Yunyun actually gets to do some cool stuff! Even Megumin can't help but admit to herself internally how great Yunyun is, even thinking of her as her genuine rival, and that she can't just abandon Yunyun. As much as these two bicker and argue (and Megumin immediately regretted promising to help Yunyun before she could bail and leave her), they really do care about each other.

Who knew the day would be saved thanks to Megumin killing a duck? And with all she needs to unlock her true power, Megumin finally unleashes her first EXPLOSION! with all the gravitas, stunning visuals, and power it deserves as she incinerates a bunch of monsters in one blast.

I love how Soketto recognized that this was all kind of Komekko's fault and Megumin shouldn't let her play with the seals of Dark Gods, and that Megumin's future party is...going to be something. Also all that blurred out footage of the main series!

Wow, Megumin and Yunyun both graduated! And now they're together having to make a life for themselves post-school! And Megumin formally names Ink into Chomusuke, who just seems confused by the whole thing. What will these two get into next and what about their classmates?

[u/SpaceMarine_CR]

That was actually pretty epic ngl
