[00:43] Megumin     How can I become like you? [00:47] Wolbach     What's your name, young lady? [00:52] Megumin     It's Megumin! [00:54] Narrator     The girl was lit by the red     light of the explosion's flames. [00:59] Narrator     The heat and light it gave off     burnt an impression into her soul. [01:04] Narrator     This is the story of the girl known to     some as a mage of exceptional quality, SIGN    KONOSUBA - An Explosion on This Wonderful World! [01:09] Narrator     but more commonly known as a     deranged user of explosion magic. [01:14] Narrator     It's the tale of her departure     from her hometown, [01:16] Narrator     and her journey to meet her true companions. SIGN    Episode 1: The Crimson-Eyed Wizards [01:35] Wolbach     Megumin? Is that a nickname? [01:38] Megumin     It's my real name. [01:40] Wolbach     Oh... okay. [01:42] Wolbach     Who freed me from that seal, I wonder? [01:48] Wolbach     Wait, is that— [01:50] Megumin     Your magic blew away a few pieces     of this puzzle I had finally finished. [01:55] Megumin     Would you help me find them? [01:57] Wolbach     Your... puzzle? [01:59] Wolbach     Tell me, young lady, [02:00] Wolbach     didn't the grown-ups from your village     warn you about coming near here? [02:04] Megumin     My mom always says any     place that's off-limits [02:08] Megumin     is usually being used to hide treasure. [02:11] Megumin     So I come here every day. [02:12] Wolbach     Do you, now? [02:15] Wolbach     It seems I owe you my thanks, young lady. [02:20] Wolbach     Tell me, do you have a wish? [02:23] Megumin     A wish? [02:25] Wolbach     Don't be shy. Anything you want. [02:26] Wolbach     I might not seem like much, but I'm     a great mage of incredible power. [02:31] Megumin     World domination! [02:34] Wolbach     S-Sorry, that's a bit much. [02:37] Wolbach     What have I gotten myself into?     Is this girl a bigger deal than I thought? [02:40] Wolbach     Um, is there anything else you want? [02:43] Megumin     In that case, please give me massive boobs. [02:46] Wolbach     That's also a no-go, I think. [02:48] Wolbach     Besides, how old are you now? [02:51] Wolbach     You don't look old enough to     worry about that sort of thing. [02:54] Megumin     Then... I wanna be the Devil King! [02:57] Wolbach     I-I am so sorry! Let me rephrase what I said! [03:00] Wolbach     Compared to a big shot like you, I'm a     mage with only semi-moderate power! [03:05] Wolbach     I think I could only grant     a moderate wish of yours! [03:09] Megumin     Well, I'm missing three pieces of this thing,     so could you just help me find those? [03:14] Wolbach     Okay, hang on. [03:15] Wolbach     I can manage something     slightly bigger than that! [03:21] Wolbach     Besides, there has to be something else,     a bigger dream of yours. [03:26] Megumin     A big dream? [03:28] Wolbach     Yeah. [03:31] Megumin     I want you to teach me     the magic you just used! [03:34] Wolbach     That's... [03:36] Megumin     You have to! Please! [03:39] Wolbach     I... can't really recommend     learning that magic. [03:45] Megumin     Fine, then. Just help me catch some crawfish. [03:48] Wolbach     You've got it wrong! [03:48] Wolbach     Please don't give me that pitying     look for pitiful people! [03:51] Wolbach     I'm just trying to say, that spell     has a lot of negatives to it! [03:54] Megumin     What kind of magic is it? [03:56] Wolbach     Well... [03:58] Wolbach     It's called explosion magic, and it's     the most powerful kind there is. [04:03] Megumin     The most powerful?! [04:17] Megumin     Most powerful! [04:18] Komekko     You rock, Sis! [04:20] Megumin     Look at all these! I think we     should have grilled crawfish. [04:23] Megumin     Let's pick some edible     plants while we're at it. [04:25] Komekko     Yeah! [04:27] Megumin/Komekko     Crawfish for dinner tomorrow! [04:29] Yunyun     I see, I see. [04:29] Megumin/Komekko     Crawfish for the day after! And cicadas! [04:32] Megumin/Komekko     Crawfish for dinner tomorrow!     Crawfish for the day after! And cicadas! [04:38] Megumin/Komekko     Crawfish for dinner tomorrow!     Crawfish for the day after! [04:50] Megumin     They're quite good. [04:52] Yunyun     U-Um... I wasn't really... [04:56] Megumin     Bye. [05:00] Komekko     Was that charity? [05:01] Megumin     She had a hungry look in her eyes. [05:03] Komekko     That's my sister! So generous! [05:11] Megumin     Huh? [05:13] Komekko     There's someone there! [05:16] Hyoizaburo     Hey, Megumin! I was worried     since no one was home! [05:20] Megumin     You're back! [05:22] Komekko     Yay! It's Dad! [05:23] Hyoizaburo     Hey, it's Kome— [05:25] Yuiyui     Oh, that's quite a catch! [05:26] Hyoizaburo     I gotcha! I gotcha! [05:27] Komekko     Oh, no! Not tickles! Make it stop! [05:27] Megumin     Mom. [05:29] Yuiyui     But tonight... [05:33] Yuiyui     We're having sukiyaki! [05:36] Megumin     Real meat! How many months has it been?! [05:39] Yuiyui     And today is special,     because everyone gets two pieces! [05:42] Megumin     Did you say two?! [05:43] Hyoizaburo     Your dad gets three! Doesn't he? [05:45] Yuiyui     He does not! [05:46] Komekko     Sis, what's sukiyaki? [05:49] Megumin     It's fancy food that you only get     to eat on special occasions. [05:53] Megumin     You eat them with raw egg. [05:55] Komekko     Egg? Like from a chicken!? [05:58] Hyoizaburo     To think a day would come     when I'd get to have my [06:00] Hyoizaburo     darling daughters around the     table for a hot sukiyaki meal. [06:03] Hyoizaburo     I made the right choice in dedicating     myself to my craftsmanship. [06:05] Megumin     Has work been going that well lately? [06:08] Hyoizaburo     Sure has! [06:09] Hyoizaburo     I met this wonderful person who actually     understands the quality of my goods. [06:13] Yuiyui     Hey, I worked hard, as well. [06:15] Hyoizaburo     You sure did! Your sales pitch worked wonders. [06:19] Hyoizaburo     I've gotta say, our customer     got herself quite a deal. [06:22] Megumin     This is a little hard to swallow... [06:24] Hyoizaburo     What?! [06:25] Megumin     Who, exactly, was this customer? [06:36] (Flashback) Hyoizaburo     Honey. Could you get some tea? [06:40] (Flashback) Hyoizaburo     Honey... some tea? [06:42] (Flashback) Yuiyui     Oh, dear, of course not! [06:44] (Flashback) Yuiyui     How could we possibly have any tea     when we haven't sold a damn thing? [06:48] (Flashback) Yuiyui     You can worry about luxuries     after business picks up. [06:54] (Flashback) Yuiyui     Oh! [06:54] (Flashback) Arnes     Well, I'm surprised to see     these sorts of things here. [06:58] (Flashback) Yuiyui     Are you a traveler? Please, take your time. [07:01] (Flashback) Arnes     Mm, to think that humans were     capable of this sort of craft! [07:06] (Flashback) Arnes     Here, let me see that one. [07:08] (Flashback) Yuiyui     Oh, this is wonderful!     Our first customer of the day. [07:12] (Flashback) Hyoizaburo     Get out of here. [07:15] (Flashback) Hyoizaburo     That's one of my finest pieces,     one I put a lot of work into. [07:18] (Flashback) Hyoizaburo     I won't sell it to anyone who doesn't     really appreciate its value. [07:21] (Flashback) Yuiyui     Oh, there you go, saying that kind of     thing for literally no reason again. [07:24] (Flashback) Yuiyui     You really want to tell our hungry children     that you didn't sell anything? Again? [07:29] (Flashback) Arnes     No, it's clear this wouldn't usually     be sold in a market like this. [07:33] (Flashback) Arnes     I can tell that you're a magic     tool craftsman of fine skill. [07:37] (Flashback) Hyoizaburo     You know what you're talking about, miss! [07:40] (Flashback) Hyoizaburo     This makes the trip all     the way out here worth it! [07:43] (Flashback) Hyoizaburo     Indeed, the magic power contained     in this piece is massive! [07:46] (Flashback) Hyoizaburo     A real masterpiece, not like the trash     that amounts to being a good luck charm! [07:49] (Flashback) Arnes     I-Is that right? [07:51] (Flashback) Yuiyui     It has the ability to attract     the person you're seeking! [07:56] (Flashback) Arnes     I've actually been searching for     someone dear to me for a long time. [07:59] (Flashback) Arnes     It sounds like a perfect     match for my journey. [08:01] (Flashback) Yuiyui     Well, with this, we Crimson Demon craftsmen [08:04] (Flashback) Yuiyui     guarantee that your journey     will be a successful one! [08:07] (Flashback) Yuiyui     It'll be ten thousand eris! [08:08] (Flashback) Arnes     A guarantee? A pact, in other words? [08:12] (Flashback) Yuiyui     Huh? Sure, of course! [08:15] (Flashback) Arnes     Interesting. I'll take it! [08:18] (Flashback) Parents     Thanks for your purchase! [08:22] Hyoizaburo     She was a real sweetheart with     an uncommon eye for quality! [08:26] Hyoizaburo     Probably a famous adventurer! [08:28] Megumin     Well, it sounds like you did a good deed. [08:31] Yuiyui     I bet she's pleased with her purchase. [08:33] Yuiyui     And thanks to her, we get to eat real meat. [08:36] Hyoizaburo     And now I can afford a new     uniform for my daughter. [08:40] Hyoizaburo     I feel genuine paternal pride! [08:43] Yuiyui     That's right, Megumin. [08:44] Megumin     Really and truly? After you said I'd     be stuck with your hand-me-downs? [08:48] Yuiyui     Well, you didn't seem happy about that. [08:50] Megumin     I mean, considering you customized it     to match the trends of your era... [08:54] Hyoizaburo     Hey, now! Your mother made that look work! [08:56] Hyoizaburo     It was totally tubular! [08:59] Hyoizaburo     People were wondering,     "Is this chick the last boss?" [09:01] Yuiyui     Come on, that was a long time ago. [09:03] Megumin     This "tubular" talk is exactly     why I was against the idea. SIGN    KONOSUBA - An Explosion on This Wonderful World! [09:07] Hyoizaburo     Totally tubular! [09:11] Megumin     Truly, when wearing the     uniform of our magic academy, [09:13] Megumin     it's only fitting that you wear     your own set, in your own style! [09:18] Komekko     You're awesome, Sis! [09:20] Yuiyui     How adorable! [09:21] Hyoizaburo     My little girl has grown up so much! [09:24] Yuiyui     She's only just enrolled, dear. [09:25] Hyoizaburio     Honey, put on the fancy tea! [09:27] Yuiyui     We have boiled water. How about that? [09:30] Megumin     Mom, Dad, I intend to learn at     the academy in order to become... [09:35] Megumin     a great master of explosion magic! [09:47] Headmaster     Congratulations on your enrollment, everyone. [09:50] Headmaster     And welcome to the temple     of Crimson Demon learning, [09:53] Headmaster     and the greatest magic academy in the world! [09:56] Headmaster     The Red Prison! [10:04] Headmaster     May your journey down the paths of sorcery     and magic be bathed in the crimson light! [10:10] Headmaster     I will now recite from the pulse-pounding     scripture of the second book, [10:12] Pucchin     Not good. If the headmaster starts in on     the sagas, we're gonna be here all night. [10:14] Headmaster     so that our new students [10:16] Headmaster     may have the opportunity to thoroughly     absorb, in great detail, the— [10:17] Pucchin     Uh, this hereby concludes this     year's matriculation ceremony! [10:20] Headmaster     Hey! It was just about to get good! [10:23] Headmaster     At least let me get to the     third book of the saga! [10:26] Headmaster     You didn't mind last year! [10:28] Pucchin     Well, everyone, good luck with     your lessons starting tomorrow. [10:35] Megumin     The Red Prison. This is where the     first page of my story is written. [10:40] Megumin     And here are my contemporaries, who will     soon be reduced to mere stepping stones. [10:44] Funifura     It's finally over. The headmaster     never knows when to stop. [10:49] Dodonko     A class of eleven, huh? [10:51] Funifura     Well, it's not a big village. [10:54] Arue     The chosen eleven. Eleven is a sorcerous number. [10:58] Dodonko     Oh, nice! Sounds cool. [11:01] Funifura     You coming, Megumin? [11:02] Funifura     There's a party at Nerimaki's house.     Her family runs the pub. [11:06] Megumin     I'm not here to make friends. [11:08] Arue     Impressive. Putting on the lone wolf act     already at the enrollment ceremony. [11:12] Arue     She gets it. [11:16] Yunyun     E-Excuse me... [11:18] Megumin     Can I help you? [11:19] Megumin     Uh... who were you again? [11:21] Yunyun     We live in the same village!     You don't know my name? [11:24] Megumin     You just... don't make much of an impression. [11:26] Yunyun     Really? Nothing at all? [11:27] Megumin     Honestly, no. [11:29] Funifura     Let's see, if I remember right... [11:31] Dodonko     Isn't she the chief's daughter? [11:33] Yunyun     M-My name is Yunyun! [11:35] FuniDonko     Oh, right, right! [11:36] Arue     I had no idea you were     in the same year as us. [11:39] Arue     You kind of blend into the background. [11:41] Megumin     So, what do you want, Yunyun? [11:43] Megumin     I'm in a bit of a hurry. [11:45] Yunyun     Oh, well... [11:47] Yunyun     I've been looking forward     to meeting you, is all! [11:51] Megumin     Really? When we barely know each other? [11:53] Megumin     Are you stalking me? [11:54] Yunyun     Wait, no... I didn't mean it like that! [11:56] Megumin     Well, it's a creepy notion,     so please don't follow me around. [11:59] Yunyun     Wait... I... [12:03] Yunyun     I enrolled here to defeat you! [12:10] Arue     Declaring yourself her rival so early on.     An exciting turn of events, for sure. [12:16] Yunyun     W-Wait, no, I mean... [12:19] Megumin     And thus, my school days began. [12:26] Megumin     Life in the Red Prison was beyond harsh. [12:31] Megumin     Crimson Demons are only considered     adults after learning advanced magic, [12:35] Megumin     but that's not the kind of     magic I'm interested in. [12:38] Megumin     I want what I saw on that day. That... [12:42] Pucchin     Well, it's been a month since     you all started attending class. [12:47] Pucchin     Today I'm going to lecture you     on special classes of magic. [12:50] Pucchin     In addition to advanced magic, [12:52] Pucchin     there's also blasting magic,     bursting magic, and bombing magic. [12:56] Megumin     Teacher! Something crucial isn't in the text. [12:59] Pucchin     Say what? [12:59] Megumin     There's nothing about explosion magic. [13:02] Funifura     Explosion? [13:03] Arue     Is she serious? [13:06] Pucchin     Whatever you do,     don't pursue explosion magic. [13:09] Megumin     Why not? [13:10] Pucchin     Explosion magic is... [13:12] Pucchin     something that repays     an entire life's pursuit of it [13:16] Pucchin     with no practical applications. [13:19] Pucchin     It's basically joke magic! [13:23] Funifura     Come on, Megumin, quit trying to crack us up! [13:26] Arue     You have comedic talent,     as well. Very impressive. [13:30] Pucchin     Come on, it's not that funny, people! [13:38] Pucchin     Okay, it's time for combat training,     formerly known as gym class! [13:43] Funifura     Yes! I've been looking forward to this! [13:46] Pucchin     Now, what is the most important thing [13:48] Pucchin     when a Crimson Demon engages in combat? [13:50] Pucchin     Let's hear from our     second-ranked tester, Yunyun! [13:54] Yunyun     Uh, m-me? [13:56] Yunyun     U-Um, in combat, it's important to... [14:00] Yunyun     r-remain calm! [14:02] Yunyun     You have to remain calm     and never lose your composure! [14:05] Pucchin     Five points. [14:06] Yunyun     Only five?! [14:07] Pucchin     Next up, number one, Megumin! [14:09] Megumin     Destructive power! [14:11] Megumin     The strength to obliterate everything! [14:13] Megumin     I believe that power is     the most important of all! [14:16] Pucchin     Eh, fifty points for that. [14:18] Pucchin     True, power is valuable. [14:20] Pucchin     But you're wrong! It's only worth fifty points! [14:23] Megumin     I-I only scored fifty points? [14:26] Yunyun     That's still ten times what I got. [14:29] Pucchin     Arue! I'm sure you know the answer. [14:33] Arue     Looking cool, sir. [14:35] Pucchin     Oh, yeah! The full hundred points!     Yes, it's looking cool! [14:38] Pucchin     Crimson Demon combat doesn't     begin unless it begins in style! [14:41] Pucchin     Allow me to demonstrate     exactly what that means. [14:45] Pucchin     Call of Thunderstorm! [14:54] Pucchin     My name is Pucchin! [14:55] Pucchin     Arch wizard and master of advanced magic! [14:59] Pucchin     The foremost homeroom teacher     among the Crimson Demons, [15:01] Pucchin     and he who shall usurp     the headmaster's throne! [15:06] Students     S-So cool! [15:09] Funifura     So that's what he summoned those clouds for. [15:13] Dodonko     Makes sense. [15:14] Yunyun     I-It's so embarrassing! [15:16] Funifura     What are you talking about?     That's our whole deal! [15:18] Arue     We are Crimson Demons. [15:20] Pucchin     Ow, hot! [15:22] Pucchin     Okay, I want you to split up into pairs. [15:26] Pucchin     Focus on coming up with a     cool way to declare yourself, [15:28] Pucchin     and experiment with great posing! [15:30] Students     Okay. [15:32] Yunyun     P-Pairs? [15:36] Pucchin     Okay, whoever's left will     be paired up with me. SIGN    KONOSUBA - An Explosion on This Wonderful World! [15:45] Megumin     Enemy sighted! [15:47] Megumin     Based on my personnel statistics study, [15:50] Megumin     there's a high likelihood of you becoming     a very powerful mage in the future. [15:54] Megumin     Which is why I should assert my     dominance over you right now! [15:58] Arue     I have no idea what you're on about,     but I can tell you're motivated! SIGN    KONOSUBA - An Explosion on This Wonderful World! [16:02] Arue     Explosion! [16:03] Funifura     My name is Funifura!     I just enrolled and am studying magic! [16:08] Funifura     A-And y'know... [16:09] Dodonko     My name is Dodonko! [16:11] Dodonko     Uh... and then... what comes next? [16:14] Nerimaki     My name is Nerimaki! [16:16] Nerimaki     The daughter of a thriving local pub owner! [16:18] Nerimaki     Service with a smile,     but we only accept cash! [16:20] Nerimaki     Wait. That doesn't sound right. [16:22] Poritan     It's hard to come up with     something on the spot, yeah. [16:24] Poritan     Explosion! SIGN    KONOSUBA - An Explosion on This Wonderful World! [16:26] Arue     My name is Arue. [16:27] Arue     She who will master advanced magic     and wield an authorial pen! [16:31] Arue     The foremost in personal development     in the new class of students! [16:34] Megumin     Damn your developments! [16:35] Megumin     They're massive! SIGN    KONOSUBA - An Explosion on This Wonderful World! [16:38] Pucchin     Seems only Arue knows what she's doing. [16:40] Pucchin     Go on, give it a try, Yunyun. [16:42] Yunyun     O-Okay. [16:44] Yunyun     Um... [16:45] Yunyun     I... I'm the chief's daughter, and, um... [16:50] Pucchin     Come now! How are you going to     do this if you're embarrassed? [16:52] Pucchin     Mastery of declaring yourself is     mastery of Crimson Demon combat! [16:56] Yunyun     But, sir, it's so embarrassing. [16:58] Pucchin     Well, that is an odd thing     for a Crimson Demon to say! [17:03] Pucchin     An odd thing indeed! [17:07] Arue     What's wrong? [17:08] Megumin     Nothing. [17:16] Megumin     Teacher. I'm not feeling well, so is it     all right if I sit out PE again today? [17:21] Pucchin     Again with this? You know today's     lesson is important, right? [17:24] Pucchin     You can't fake being sick to get out it. [17:27] Megumin     Th-The awakening! [17:29] Megumin     If nothing is done, the other entity     inside me will seize control! [17:33] Pucchin     Megumin! No! It can't be... [17:35] Pucchin     Is the thing sealed within     you trying to awaken?! [17:41] Pucchin     So be it. [17:42] Pucchin     You can rest over there. [17:44] Pucchin     You must ensure the seal remains intact! [17:47] Megumin     Understood. If you'll excuse me. [17:52] Arue     Yunyun, it appears I'm down a partner. [17:56] Arue     Would you join me? [17:58] Yunyun     Oh, okay! Thanks. [18:02] Yunyun     Um... I'm going to be chief     of the village someday... [18:07] Yunyun     Well, honestly, I'm not sure about that... [18:09] Arue     Then just bluff about it. [18:12] Yunyun     Bluff? [18:14] Megumin     Stare. [18:18] Arue     Like this. And then like that! [18:18] Yunyun     This? [18:25] Yunyun     Teacher, it's raining! [18:27] Pucchin     Come to think of it, the source of magic     power, the moon, is at its apex today. [18:32] Pucchin     It seems my strength is     overflowing as a result. [18:36] Funifura     You could just admit you didn't     think of a way to stop it!
