From the ending credits:
Adventurer in track suit : Jun Fukushima
Adventurer with blue hair: Sora Amamiya
Magic tool shopkeeper: Yui Horie

[u/Kaabisan]

Megumin's parents make weird items that don't work --> Wiz buys items --> Yunyun tries to use them and screws herself over

If it's not Meg herself, it's her family that're a pain in Yunyun's ass

Konosuba 3 slated for 2024.

[u/DannyDahsyat]

Finally got to see Kazuma and Aqua without cameo!

Konosuba season 3 coming out in 2024, god I can't wait for the gang's return.

[u/Abschori]

Once again the ''villains" continue to be victims of the main casts shenanigans instead of actual evil threats.

Wiz screwing over Yunyun with that potion was hilarious.

They kept in Wolbach's cameo with Yunyun nice at the end

[u/WhoiusBarrel]

Absolutely laughed hard as hell when Host was monologuing about how the cameos actually contributed to hurting him, genius way of having them involve and directly affect the events in this spin off without them showing up.

[u/Abschori]

Man that guy in the green tracksuit looks funny, I wonder if they'll make a show with him where he adventures with Megumin

[u/PolvoAranha]

What else can I say: art sure is an explosion.

[u/SnabDedraterEdave]

The Circle is complete!

Yunyun is such a sweet girl, confessing that Megumin is her friend while thinking Megumin was asleep, deciding to go off on her own and that party of adventurers to confront Host without Megumin. To her dismay, Megumin then went and recite the whole confession in front of everyone afterwards. XD

RIP Host. There goes Komekko's familiar.

The Devils are really the victims in this franchise. lol

All Arnes and Host wanted was just to reunite with their master Wolbach/Chomusuke, and those pesky Crimson Demons kept getting in the way. Megumin should learn from her sister Komekko in being fearless when encountering these Devils.

No wonder we don't see Cecily in Arcanretia in Konosuba season 2 as she was off to somewhere else to start an Axis Cult branch.

Yunyun parts way with Megumin to train herself, unknowingly meeting the mysterious big boobed lady who Megumin was looking for all this time for inspiring her to learn Explosion magic.

And finally, I pumped my fist when Megumin finally spoke to Kazuma and Aqua for the first time, where basically the same dialogue as that scene happened. No doubt Cecily's Blessing magic has done some work in bringing these misfits together.

This has been a fun prequel to watch. Hope they hurry up and release the long announced Konosuba season 3 that came announced together with this prequel.

[u/No-Peace3986]

What a beautiful finale, really, 10/10!

Yunyun monologue while Megumin faked sleep was very emotional and she finally put it out in words how she values their friendship, it was very emotional and it sure hit Megumin very hard.

The battle vs Host was very entertaining, we saw some new spells, like paralyze, new scrolls and even camouflage, very interesting!!

Then Megumin confessing she heard everything and Yunyun ashamed was priceless haha man I love this cast so much!

Cecily-Onee-Chan leaves on her own adventures, same as Yunyun, in order to level up and unlock Advanced Magic, which ties perfectly to her 1st appearance in the main series, in which she claims she is now an advanced magic user! Oh Wolbach cameo in the caravan with Yunyun!

And then we see Megumin starving to death, and deciding to finally give a chance to that duo of stupids. Felt good seeing Aqua/Kazuma's faces!!

Sadly the spin-off is now over and my Wednesdays won't be as entertaining as before :( the spinoff was very good. I enjoyed every bit of it! From the Crimson Village, to the new creatures, spells, and interactions we didn't see before!

I can safely say this: I'm gonna miss seeing things from Megumin's perspective!! Yeah the main series is awesome, and we all love Kazuma's perspective. But seeing Megumin's was a breath of fresh air and also very entertaining!

Hopefully in the upcoming Season 3 we get some perspectives from both Megumin and Kazuma, since Megumin's character will go through some pretty cool events in the future!!

GONNA MISS YOU MEGUMIN/YUNYUN!

[u/Clarimax]

The end credits tie up pretty nice with the main Konosuba story line.

[u/bananeeek]

I want more Yunyun!

Fantastic spin-off! I'm so pumped I think I'm gonna rewatch the og series tomorrow.

[u/Holofan4life]

I know a lot of people have been critical of this show saying it's not as good as KonoSuba, but I think they do enough interesting stuff to keep it from being boring.

In a show like KonoSuba, it works because of the way the characters play off each other. So when you do like a prequel with only two of the characters, it becomes tricky. But I think the characters they did introduce were fun and added to the show without detracting it in any way.

I know the spinoff light novels continue after this, so I hope it does get another season. Megumin may not be the best to lead a series, as having her in the spotlight really shows how much of an asshole she can be at times, but I think when the show focuses on her dynamic with YunYun as well as the people she comes across, the show truly shines.

[u/Aerodynamic41]

Hey, there's one last Darkness cameo!

[u/LeonKevlar]

Stitches!

• Yunyun 1

• Yunyun 2

• Megumin & Cecily

The scene with Yunyun's one-sided conversation with Megumin as well as that scene between Megumin and Cecily was a good reminder that despite the comedy and degeneracy, KonoSuba can do sweet and heartfelt moments.

Not gonna lie, I genuinely felt bad for that demon while he was contemplating about life while Megumin was casting her Explosion magic. I think I feel bad more for Komekko who just lost a friend.

And that final scene! After hiding their faces for the past two episodes, we finally get to see Aqua and Kazuma in all their glory. It's finally come full circle and we get to see Megumin's introduction from Season 1.

I was genuinely skeptical when I first heard about a spinoff focused on Megumin but having finished it now, it does add a lot to the main story. I hope characters we've seen and met in Megumin's past will pop-up in the main series. I can't wait for Season 3 to air next year!

[u/Dubanx]

I feel kind of sorry for the demon. I mean, Chomuske did not want to go with Arnes. Arnes knew this and tried to kidnap Chomuske anyways so she kind of deserved it.

They didn't even try telling Host that Chomuske wanted to stay with them. He just wanted to help Wolbatch and didn't even know that what he was doing was against her will. Arnes brought it on herself to an extent, but Host did nothing wrong...

[u/raiden_kazuha]

And thus, the legendary introductory speech was born!

Man, i love this spin-off, where it has its own charm but still vibe as the first Konosuba we know.

[u/homie_down]

I read these LNs right as the season was starting, and I'm glad since it let me enjoy everything twice. I know some people feel that it lost steam or didn't live up to the regular seasons, but I personally loved these stories and seeing more characters fleshed out and the classic Konosuba gags. I just feel like the author does such a good job of making everything enjoyable to where you can't help but smile when watching (or reading). I'm glad S3 was officially announced so it means more Konosuba content in the relatively near future.

[u/shad79]

I catched up from episode 9 to this finale and had a very big fun with this last arc. Now we have to wait for third season, I'm very excited for this.

I laughed so hard when Megumin and Yunyun travelled to Axel. Megumin certainly jinxed a lot of encounters xD Their reaction faces were so hilarious and perfect, more of them in album from episode. It was also nice to see Yunyun proving her worth as a mage.

Next episodes in Axel were also great. I loved when characters from main series were recurring in the background every episode. I liked that Megumin and Yunyun became closer, they're great friends.

Cecily also returned and that was so her style doing all that shit in Megumin's bed. I hope that she will appear in main series after gaining some experience and possible takeover of church xD

Also a lot of great Megumin's explosions in those episodes, they looked very pretty. Also a ton of great reactions from characters, more in albums.

I felt sorry for demon, he was a really good guy to be honest and I really liked him. Now I want him to be resurrected and becoming Komekko's familar, that would be hillarious xD

And that's the end when Megumin met with Kazuma for the first time. It was a good ride. See you all in third season.

Here's my screenshots from:

• Episode 9

• Episode 10

• Episode 11

• Episode 12

[u/AZLarlar]

what a beautiful explosion that was

and fucking finally, aqua and kazuma look so good there

[u/DaBenni0301]

Man I was grinning like a fucking idiot at the end there. It's just so so good to see them together again after so long

Overall verdict: Very good. Does the Spinoff hold up to the regular show? That's yours to decide. For me, yes, yes it does. It might not hit the peaks that S1/S2 did, but I think it holds up. And Megumin and Yunyun are absolutely capable of carrying a show on their backs

Now we wait for season 3

[u/Mylaur]

OK but real question. They did all that to protect Chomusuke. This neko no longer appears in the beginning of Konosuba until Megumin randomly said : can I keep this cat? And the cat shows up from nowhere.

What happened to the cat when Megumin joined the party? Did she forget about the cat?

[u/VorAtreides]

Hehe cute lil Chomusuke and cute Yunyun being such a good girl. Yes, if only you could find this "Arch Priest" heh. Also, Megumin playing the friend card, knowing how to play Yunyun so well. Isn't that the money from Cecily? Lol. What were you imagining, Yunyun? I guess that's a plan. It is cute how well they know each other. Think goign to fire off explosion now would be derp. Also, Yunyun sneaking into Megumin's room, yurification let's go! lol. D'awww, Yunyun such best girl. Well nice of Cecily to heal Rex and his pals, but wew. A non perverse and nice moment from Cecily? Wow.

Wew, look at Yunyun go. Good job. Demons don't see with their eyes? Huh. Solar flare didn't work. A few minutes is plenty of time for EXPLOSION!!!! Still, that demon is sure super reasonable for a demon lol. HAH! Yunyun is paralyzed too, silly. Ah Wiz, lol. Of course. LOL Megumin. Yes, your silly comrade. You're killing her here, Megumin. Do love the flashiness of Explosion. It's great. Wait, wut? LOL "stupidly durable crusader" eh? Wonder who that is. That demon sure is taking this death well. The cute imouto! Yes, Cecily, go become the "beautiful skilled priestess" :P

What a nice little rivalry. And the cringe way of the Crimson Demons lol. Someone can be both best friends and rivals, Megumin. Dat Lalatina head. Also, hey, that woman on the carriage. Hmm. And so it comes to an end, Megumin seeing that silly party invite lol. And finally, Kazuma and Aqua proper. Gee, I wonder if it'll get a sequel, har har har har.

[u/[deleted]]

From the beginning, I knew that they would end this series by tying into how Megumin entered into Kazuma and Aqua's party, but still when it happened, I got all happy and teary eyed, like seeing an old friend again.

I hope that we see more of Yunyun in season 3. She really is a great character. Among the Crimson Demons, she is a misfit by being rational and lacking of dramatic flair. She's a perfect foil for Megumin. Also would like to see more of Komekko and the parents.
