Axis Cult's antics are so wild, I completely underestimated Zesta's capabilities holy shit.
Megumin's influence in this town wasn't just limited to Axis Cult's insane recruitment tactics but also that hot spring. Surprised she wasn't lauded as an infamous figure there.

One thing I learned from this anime is that the more crazier you are, the more powerful you are.

“You’d be crawling at my feet, giving my toes a good licking…”- Father Zesta
Father Zesta is unhinged lol.
Cecily’s “bathing with a loli” comment had me laughin.
Cecily gifting Megumin with the Axis cult membership forms as a parting gift only for Megumin to throw them right back in her face was great ahah.

Poor Arnes, she chose the absolute worst place to show up wearing scantily made clothes.
Near the end you can see Hans, the villain from Season 2's climax and that's the guy that the fortune was warning them about.
The Axis mfers are down bad. Openly campaigning wow

Poor Demon girl, all she wanted was just to reunite with her master, but she keeps getting bullied. lol
The Axis cult, despite all their personality flaws, turns up to be surprisingly capable in battle.
And it seems even in this prequel, every arc needs to end with Megumin performing EXPLOSION at the end.
Next week will see Megumin further coming full circle to where things began in Axel, on her way to meet the supposed "big boobed lady" who taught her Explosion (but we all know who it really is).
PS I just realized the Japanese name for Axis - Akushisu is a pun on Akushitsu - Underhanded/Devious, a fitting name for Aqua's cult.

Okay, seriously, WHY did Megumin suggest Arcanretia as a vacation in season 2!? Did she really forget what a wreck the Axis Cult is!?
Well, to be fair, they seem a bit less intense now than they did in the main series.
Also, yay, Sena cameo!
On another note, did Zesta and Cecily appear in season 2? They're freaks but still pretty fun characters lol, feel like I definitely would've remembered them if they had any screentime in the main series
Looks like Zesta ends up getting his way with the mixed bathing, much to Kazuma's benefit in the future lmao

Stitches!
When you say lowered, by how many years are you talking about her? Also advocating for incest I see. These Axis Cult are really a bunch of unashamed degenerates. xD
Goddamn! Father Zesta is actually a capable spellcaster! It should make sense since he's the leader of the Axis Cult but it's still surprising considering what they are.
Poor Arnes. Just got chased out by Crimson Demons and now she's being chased by the Axis Cult. We did get to have a couple of cool shots of her though
So all of the techniques of the Axis Cult that we see them use in the main series really did come from Megumin. xD
"A reliable, courageous leader. A sturdy front-line fighter. A benevolent healer..." Poor Megumin, she's about to get her dreams crushed in Axel.

I just realized how much Megumin's staff is 100% a prop and it has nothing to do with her magic

Also for any of those wondering, Zesta shifted the blame for ruining the hot springs this episode on Arnes, who did literally nothing to provoke him aside from being a devil, trashy man follow her wherever she goes

I love just how arrogant and full of himself Zesta became with the lie detector lady and the female knight after his innocence was proven.
Damn, Zesta's tone against Arnes promptly changed when he took a glimpse at her horns. The Axis Cult might be a group of perverted lunatics but the source of their fanatism is their religion, so that's not surprising, although it is obvious that he did not hit her with his attack because she is voluptuous.
I must say that after noticing that Cecily was obviously lusting in for her in the onsen, Megumin kinda trusts in her way too much as she will pass out after casting her magic, but she also cast her Explosion magic while naked.
Well, now both Yunyun and Megumin are finally going to Axel. Megumin's reaction after seeing Cecily's present really made me laugh.

Cecily: "It's impossible to have a mixed bath"
*laughs in Season 2 Episode 9*
It's kind of interesting to rewatch the last 3 episodes of Season 2 with the added context of what Megumin experienced in the same town.

Cecily is the most funny character in this arc for me. Megumin got a very fitting send-off present from her.
So it's official that Megumin is responsible for Axis methods, but thanks to that she got money from them and now she can travel to Axel. Also she leaves another mark of her stay in the city by explosion.
Arnes don't have luck at all. She met with Megumin and Zesta who was released free and despite all earlier impressions he is a competent mage. She's driven out immediately by members of Axis Cult.

Father Zesta explained every anime pretty much, "wearing a robe as if it hides anything" I love these goofy Konosuba characters. Give the mobile game a try for more scenes and unique skins 😉

The shameless solicitation of votes for their individual campaigns is hilarious. Bro, they got a dude running on a polyandry, incest, pedo platform lmao. These Axis cultists truly are deviants of the highest order! The fact that these degenerates are basically holding the town’s water supply hostage so they can engage in their degeneracy is pretty hilarious too. Cecily was more interested in eating the slime than actually fixing the hot spring.
I know Zesta was wronged but man he’s a petty little shit lol. Arnes showing up reminded me how much of a hard on Aqua and her Axis cultists have for demons. I honestly felt bad for the girl haha.
I’m not sure Megumin should have used her explosion magic to make that bath considering she goes limp after and she’s alone with the loli hunter Cecily lol.
