[00:03] Smith
    Hey, hey!
[00:05] Smith
    You gals on your way back from
    school? I've got great low prices.
[00:08] Smith
    Take a look! These deals are today only.
[00:13] Megumin
    I was wondering what you wanted...
[00:15] Megumin
    But "I've always dreamed of shopping for
    cute trinkets with a friend after school"?
[00:21] Yunyun
    So mean! Why would you say that?
[00:23] Megumin
    For one thing, we're not friends.
[00:30] Megumin
    What? The daggers?
[00:32] Yunyun
    Yeah. They're so pretty.
[00:34] Megumin
    You want one?
[00:35] Yunyun
    Yeah.
[00:39] Nerimaki
    And Megumin picked it out for you? Wow.
[00:43] Yunyun
    Yeah! She said this one was better!
[00:46] Megumin
    Don't get the wrong idea!
[00:48] Megumin
    You were taking way too long
    to make up your mind,
[00:50] Megumin
    so I simply pointed at the
    one I thought was the best!
[00:56] Megumin
    What is with you today? Honestly!
[00:59] Megumin
    Now, Yunyun...
[01:00] Megumin
    I bet you're going to say,
    "Time for another duel!" again today.
[01:03] Megumin
    Well, I've thought up a delightful game!
[01:12] Megumin
    Take your precious dagger,
[01:14] Megumin
    and stab between my fingers as many
    times and as quickly as possible!
[01:18] Yunyun
    What?!
[01:19] Megumin
    Go on! Get to it!
[01:21] Megumin
    Ready, go!
[01:22] Megumin
    One... two...
[01:25] Yunyun
    Whoa! H-Hang on! Just hold on a sec!
[01:27] Yunyun
    I can't do this! No way!
[01:29] Megumin
    What's the matter?
[01:30] Megumin
    If you can't stab between every
    finger before I count to ten,
[01:33] Megumin
    you'll have lost, Yunyun!
[01:36] Megumin
    Five... six... seven...
[01:40] Yunyun
    I don't care, then!
    Let's just say I lost today! Again!
[01:44] Yunyun
    I'll give you my lunch, too!

[03:22] Megumin
    I'm home!
[03:25] Komekko
    Welcome home, Sis!
[03:28] Megumin
    Oh, my! You're covered in dirt.
[03:32] Megumin
    I thought you were supposed
    to watch the house.
[03:35] Megumin
    Were you playing outside again?
[03:37] Komekko
    Yep! I beat up the newspaper guy,
    and then I went and played.
[03:43] Megumin
    Another victory? As befits my little sister.
[03:46] Komekko
    I found a toy, too,
    so I've been playing with it!
[03:50] Komekko
    You wanna try?
[03:51] Megumin
    A toy?
[03:54] Komekko
    Something on you smells good, Sis!
[03:56] Megumin
    Ah, as perceptive as ever, little sister.
[04:00] Megumin
    I brought you something.
[04:02] Megumin
    An offering to the magical deity:
    a lamb sandwich!
[04:06] Megumin
    Now, feast until your stomach bursts!
[04:12] Komekko
    Wow! I feel like the Devil King himself!
[04:15] Komekko
    Let's save the dinner I
    caught for tomorrow, then.
[04:20] Megumin
    You caught something?
[04:22] Komekko
    Yep! A big one.
[04:23] Megumin
    Such familial piety!
[04:26] Megumin
    Well done, Komekko.
[04:30] Komekko
    Hang on a sec!
[04:33] Megumin
    I wonder what she caught.
[04:36] Megumin
    Cicadas? Or crickets, perhaps?
[04:39] Megumin
    Beetles are a little earthy for my liking,
[04:42] Megumin
    but that can be fixed with deep-frying.
[04:47] Megumin
    That's...
[04:48] Komekko
    Look! A fierce ebon beast that I
    felled after a battle to the death!
[04:56] Megumin
    Well, you certainly did catch a big one.
[05:00] Komekko
    Yep! I worked hard!
[05:01] Komekko
    It fought back at first,
    but it settled down after I bit it!
[05:07] Megumin
    I'm glad you won the battle, but you really
    shouldn't go around biting things randomly.
[05:13] Komekko
    I shouldn't?
[05:22] Komekko
    Want some?
[05:23] Megumin
    I'm full, so you can have it all.
[05:28] Megumin
    More importantly, will you
    relinquish this furball to me?
[05:31] Komekko
    Okay!
[05:33] Megumin
    Well, now, what am I going to do with you?
[05:47] Yunyun
    Megumin...
[05:49] Yunyun
    M-Megumin!
[05:51] Megumin
    Good morning. What's that
    concerned look for?
[05:55] Yunyun
    Where'd she come from?
[05:57] Megumin
    She's my familiar.
[05:58] Dodonko
    A familiar?!
[05:59] Dodonko
    I thought wizards with familiars
    were strictly a fairy tale thing!
[06:06] Funifura
    Look! It's making such an
    adorable, but impudent face!
[06:09] Funifura
    It's terrifying! A perfect innocent-kitty act
[06:12] Funifura
    to hide her intention to steal
    our lunches for her mistress!
[06:16] Dodonko
    I hate to do it! But here's my lunch...
[06:20] Megumin
    That should make feeding
    her a lot more affordable.
[06:23] Megumin
    This level of popularity, though...
    Maybe she has some kind of charm magic?
[06:30] Yunyun
    She's so fluffy...
[06:35] Nerimaki
    So, did you name her yet?
[06:38] Megumin
    Not yet, no.
[06:39] Arue
    Familiar or not, are you sure it was
    a good idea to bring her to school?
[06:43] Megumin
    My home environment poses some threats
[06:45] Megumin
    that make me uncomfortable
    leaving her there alone.
[06:48] Dodonko
    Wait, what threats?
[06:49] Yunyun
    She's so cute... but will
    our teacher say it's okay?
[06:56] Pucchin
    Denied.
[06:57] Megumin
    Sir, this cat is my familiar,
    who feeds off of my magical power!
[07:02] Megumin
    If we're separated,
    she'll die in short order.
[07:04] Pucchin
    Denied. You can't even use magic,
    and you're claiming to have a familiar?
[07:08] Pucchin
    The school's rules say no
    familiars and no snacks.
[07:11] Pucchin
    Go on, take it back to where you found it.
[07:14] Megumin
    Sir! You are looking at a
    fragmented aspect of my soul,
[07:17] Megumin
    the incarnation of my dark side!
[07:18] Megumin
    We cannot be separated!
[07:21] Pucchin
    What? A fragmented aspect of your soul?
[07:24] Megumin
    Not only that, but if we're separated,
    she'll go berserk, grow gigantic, and—
[07:29] Pucchin
    All right, I'll allow it!
[07:30] Megumin
    Yes, she'll unleash a mysterious
    dark matter on the—
[07:33] Megumin
    Wait, really?
[07:35] Pucchin
    That one sounded pretty good, after all.
[07:38] Pucchin
    Megumin, you get ten points!
[07:40] Pucchin
    Besides, I've got a feeling this
    will be good, so I'll allow it.
[07:45] Megumin
    Well, thank you very much.
[07:48] Pucchin
    Now that we've settled this familiar
    matter, let's begin class...
[07:53] Pucchin
    is what I'd normally say, but today's
    lesson will be a little special.
[07:57] Megumin
    A special lesson?
[07:59] Pucchin
    The seal on one of our
    village's tourist attractions,
[08:02] Pucchin
    the tomb of the Dark God, is weakening.
[08:04] Pucchin
    This has caused the monsters in
    the area to become more active.
[08:08] Pucchin
    Simmer down, now!
[08:10] Pucchin
    The village's unemployed...
[08:12] Pucchin
    I mean, our brave and otherwise
    unoccupied residents
[08:15] Pucchin
    have dealt with the dangerous monsters.
[08:16] Pucchin
    Any that are left will be on the weak side.
[08:19] Pucchin
    Which is why...
[08:22] Pucchin
    You will all take part in the traditional
[08:24] Pucchin
    Crimson Demon augmentation surge,
    in order to raise your levels quickly!
[08:28] Pucchin
    I expect to see you all in
    the courtyard in 30 minutes!
[08:32] Pucchin
    Figure out your groups
    beforehand, also! That is all!
[08:38] Unmarked ad-lib
    I guess we've gotta make groups...
[08:40] Unmarked ad-lib
    With only 30 minutes to figure
    it out? Better be quick.
[08:43] Megumin
    What is it?
[08:44] Yunyun
    W-Well.... it's a group
    activity, apparently...
[08:48] Megumin
    And what of it?
[08:50] Yunyun
    Well... you see...
[08:53] Arue
    Megumin, if you don't have a partner,
    would you care to join me?
[08:57] Megumin
    That's fine.
[09:02] Megumin
    Good grief... Yunyun, this time—
[09:05] Funifura
    Hey, Yunyun! Wanna be in our group?
[09:08] Dodonko
    You're usually left out. You should join us.
[09:11] Yunyun
    A-Are you sure?
[09:13] Funifura
    Of course. You're our classmate, right?
[09:14] Dodonko
    So we're basically friends.
[09:16] Yunyun
    F-Friends?!
[09:17] Funifura
    Come on, let's go.
[09:19] Yunyun
    Sure!
[09:25] Arue
    So this...
[09:27] Arue
    is cuckolding.
[09:28] Megumin
    That's not what it is!
[09:32] Pucchin
    All right, time for the
    special lesson to begin.
[09:35] Pucchin
    If you don't have your own
    weapon, use one of these.
[09:46] Pucchin
    We Crimson Demons can use our magical power
    to temporarily amplify our body's strength!
[09:52] Pucchin
    As long as you focus your mind,
    this ability should come naturally.
[09:56] Pucchin
    You go first, Arue.
[10:00] Arue
    Magical power within...
    travel the paths of my blood,
[10:04] Arue
    and grant my limbs great strength!
[10:10] Class
    Wow!
[10:14] Yunyun
    S-Sir! These are all hollow,
    and really light.
[10:20] Pucchin
    Minus five points, Yunyun.
[10:27] Pucchin
    We will now perform the
    Crimson Demon secret rite,
[10:31] Pucchin
    the augmentation surge.
[10:32] Pucchin
    Freeze Bind!
[10:40] Pucchin
    All right, now slay this thing.
[10:43] Yunyun
    Augmentation surge?
[10:44] Yunyun
    And it's just... beating a
    monster that's held in place?
[10:48] Pucchin
    It's on the verge of dying thanks
    to my magic anyway. Relax!
[10:52] Pucchin
    Now, who will be the champion to claim
    victory over this abominable monster?!
[11:03] Megumin
    The first blow should be struck
    by the most prodigious.
[11:06] Megumin
    Consider it done!
[11:08] Yunyun
    Megumin!
[11:09] Pucchin
    That's the spirit. No wonder
    you're top of the class.
[11:13] Pucchin
    All right, I need to prepare
    the rest of the ritual,
[11:16] Pucchin
    so make sure to boost those levels.
[11:20] Yunyun
    H-Hey... Are you really going to do this?
[11:23] Megumin
    As sad as it makes me,
[11:24] Megumin
    this is our fate as Crimson Demons,
    whose lives are a battlefield.
[11:27] Megumin
    Being able to level up just by
    finishing off a near-dead monster...
[11:31] Megumin
    Easy!
[11:34] Megumin
    Now, servant of great evil.
    Open your ears to my requiem,
[11:38] Megumin
    and fall into eternal slumber!
[11:46] Megumin
    W-Wait! It's not weakened at all!
[11:50] Megumin
    Damn you! Insolent cold-blooded fiend!
[11:52] Megumin
    Hear the primal cry of my physical verbiage!
[12:00] Megumin
    I-I win!
SIGN    KONOSUBA - An Explosion on This Wonderful World!
[12:10] Funifura
    Y-Yunyun, hurry up and do it!
[12:13] Funifura
    We need to finish here and
    move on to the next one!
[12:15] Yunyun
    B-But... it looked me right in the eye...
[12:18] Dodonko
    You're the second-ranked honor
    student! Show us how it's done!
[12:29] Yunyun
    S-Sorry, I just can't!
[12:31] Funifura
    What?!
[12:32] Funifura
    We're Crimson Demons!
    We're way more fierce than that!
[12:35] Dodonko
    It should be easy to finish
    off an immobilized monster!
[12:39] Megumin
    Are you really having so much
    trouble with that small fry?
[12:44] Megumin
    Go on! Claim the doe-eyed
    sacrifice before you!
[12:49] Dodonko
    Why are you so strong?!
[12:50] Dodonko
    Q-Quit it! No! No!
[12:55] Megumin
    We are the ruthless Crimson Demons.
[12:57] Megumin
    Felling a monster that can't
    flee should be child's play!
[13:00] Dodonko
    I'm sorry! I'm really sorry, so please stop!
[13:03] Dodonko
    It keeps going, "Kew!"
[13:04] Megumin
    Better to end it quickly, then!
[13:07] Dodonko
    I'm sorry!
[13:07] Yunyun
    Megumin! You're making Dodonko cry!
[13:28] Dodonko
    What was that?! What was that?!
[13:31] Arue
    So a gargoyle is free...
[13:33] Arue
    Another sign of the Dark God's
    impending release?
[13:35] Megumin
    What is a dangerous monster
    like that doing here?!
[13:38] Arue
    Most likely, one of the
    petrified ornaments got loose.
[13:42] Yunyun
    What exactly is a petrified ornament?!
[13:44] Arue
    The hot new hobby among some
    of the adults, apparently.
[13:47] Nerimaki
    Now that you mention it...
[13:56] Megumin
    Why can't those people ever
    do anything helpful?!
[14:03] Bukkorori
    Burning Flash!
[14:14] Megmin
    Wh-What was that?
[14:19] Bukkorori
    Hey! I thought I finally heard
    a familiar voice. It's Megumin!
[14:23] Megumin
    B-Bukkorori?!
[14:24] Dodonko
    Wait, who is this?
[14:26] Yunyun
    I think he's...
[14:28] Bukkorori
    Are you girls friends with Megumin?
[14:32] Bukkorori
    I am called Bukkorori!
[14:34] Bukkorori
    Arch wizard, and wielder of advanced magic!
[14:37] Bukkorori
    The son of the foremost cobbler
    among the Crimson Demons,
[14:40] Bukkorori
    and he who shall inherit the shoe shop!
[14:43] Bukkorori
    So, would you girls mind
    hauling me out of here?
[14:47] Megumin
    I'm more curious about what you're doing in
    the middle of the woods, and also, in a hole.
[14:52] Bukkorori
    It's all for Soketto.
[14:54] Arue
    Soketto, as in the foremost
    Crimson Demon beauty?
[14:59] Yunyun
    Right. And Bukkorori here is,
    er... Soketto's stalker.
[15:03] Bukkorori
    I'm not a stalker!
    I'm just honest about my love.
[15:08] Bukkorori
    Yes, it was for that very love
    that I dug this pitfall.
[15:12] Bukkorori
    Soketto comes to this forest
    every day, by herself, to train.
[15:15] Bukkorori
    She's beautiful, cute, and strong, too?!
    You're cheating, Soketto, my dear!
[15:20] Bukkorori
    Now, she prefers to use
    lightning attack magic,
[15:23] Bukkorori
    which tends to leave you blinded
    right after the flash, right?
[15:27] Bukkorori
    Which means it'd be perfectly natural
    for her to fall into a hole that I dug
[15:31] Bukkorori
    without even realizing it!
[15:33] Bukkorori
    She can't use Teleport yet, after all.
[15:36] Bukkorori
    I'm sure she'll be stuck, with no way out.
[15:38] Bukkorori
    Which is when I arrive to save her!
[15:41] Bukkorori
    It was a lot of work to get it
    to just the right depth, y'know.
[15:45] Bukkorori
    See?
[15:47] Bukkorori
    Just within arm's reach, right?
[15:51] Girls
    Ew!
[15:53] Girls
    Anyway, I forgot that I can't use
    Teleport yet either, and so here I am.
[16:01] Girls
    Now, girls, please pull me to freedom!
[16:06] Dodonko
    That's just plain creepy.
[16:07] Funifura
    Unbelievable...
[16:08] Yunyun
    Gross.
[16:09] Bukkorori
    B-But why?!
[16:11] Bukkorori
    I just wanted a legitimate
    way to hold Soketto's hand!
[16:15] Arue
    If only you could redo your
    life from the fetal stage.
[16:18] Bukkorori
    From a fetus?!
[16:19] Megumin
    This is a fine place for a landfill.
[16:21] Bukkorori
    Whoa, hang on! Don't leave me!
[16:23] Bukkorori
    Help me out of here, at least!
[16:25] Bukkorori
    Aw, come on! Please! Hey!
[16:37] Yunyun
    O-Oh, no! The village!
    What's everyone doing?!
[16:41] Dodonko
    No way!
[16:45] Pucchin
    Light of Saber!
[16:52] Headmaster
    Prized students of our academy...
[16:55] Dodonko
    Teacher!
[16:56] Pucchin
    You girls all right?
[16:57] Yunyun
    W-We are!
[16:59] Yunyun
    But the village... There's a horde
    of gargoyles attacking the village!
[17:02] Nerimaki
    If this keeps up...
[17:04] Pucchin
    Right...
[17:06] Headmaster
    Who could have predicted my ornamental
    gargoyles causing this disaster?
[17:11] Arue
    Is this the curse of the crimson eyes?
[17:13] Arue
    Or perhaps judgment
    delivered to man in his arrogance?
[17:18] Headmaster
    My dear students, worry not.
[17:20] Headmaster
    Before you stands the battle-hardened
    Lord of the Red Prison!
[17:27] Pucchin
    And it is not only us who head
    into this dance of death!
[17:31] Chekera
    I am called Chekera!
[17:33] Chekera
    Arch wizard and owner of the foremost
    clothing store among the Crimson Demons!
[17:37] Shikobei
    I am called Shikobei!
[17:38] Shikobei
    Arch wizard and the foremost fisherman
    among the Crimson Demons!
[17:41] Chakamiya
    I am called Chakamiya!
[17:43] Chakamiya
    Arch wizard and owner of the foremost
    bakery among the Crimson Demons!
[17:46] Torosuke
    I am called Torosuke!
[17:47] Torosuke
    Arch wizard and owner of the foremost
    café among Crimson Demons!
[17:52] Adults
    The time has come to pool
    our collective power!
[17:55] Adults
    Light of Saber!
[17:58] Headmaster
    King of the storm! The time has come
    to display your despotic grandeur!
[18:02] Headmaster
    Inferno!
[18:04] Pucchin
    Infernal flames that consume creation!
    Scorch the foes before me into oblivion!
[18:09] Pucchin
    Energy Ignition!
[18:17] Funifura
    W-Wow!
[18:19] Dodonko
    They're blowing those gargoyles
    away as if they were ants!
[18:21] Arue
    All who stand in defiance of the
    crimson eyes are reduced to cinders!
[18:27] Megumin
    That's advanced magic...
[18:29] Nerimaki
    We'll be learning amazing magic like
    that before we graduate, won't we?
[18:34] Megumin
    It's true that these spells
    are all impressive.
[18:37] Megumin
    Devastatingly so. And yet...
[18:40] Megumin
    This isn't it. It's not what I want!
[18:45] Megumin
    Heat that burns your skin,
[18:48] Megumin
    a shock wave that leaves you trembling,
[18:50] Megumin
    the scent of blasted earth...
[18:52] Megumin
    Glaring light that stabs the eyes,
    and the painful smoke!
[18:56] Megumin
    Compared to the magic she used...
[18:58] Megumin
    This is completely different,
    compared to explosion magic!
[19:02] Torosuke
    Tornado!
[19:04] Shikobei
    Earth Shaker!
[19:05] Chakamiya
    Call of Thunderstorm!
[19:11] Nerimaki
    H-Huh?
[19:14] Nerimaki
    My family's pub... is on fire?
[19:17] Headmaster
    Crimson Laser!
[19:22] Headmaster
    Laser! Laser! Laser! Laser!
[19:23] Nerimaki
    Whoa, hold up!
[19:25] Funifura
    Uh, teachers? Stop!
[19:27] Yunyun
    You've done enough!
[19:29] Pucchin
    Dimension Hell Break!
[19:36] Pucchin
    Burn, burn! The bonfire of
    celebration is at hand!
[19:50] Pucchin
    Our beautiful village...
[19:53] Headmaster
    After surviving for countless
    eons, the final paradise...
[19:57] Headmaster
    our utopia, once called the
    treasure of Dragon's Peak...
[20:02] Headmaster
    has been reduced to this!
[20:04] Nerimaki
    This... was our storefront decoration...
[20:11] Pucchin
    A pox upon the Dark God!
[20:13] Pucchin
    It's trampled our peaceful, modest lives!
[20:18] Yunyun
    Uh, I'm pretty sure you all were
    the ones mostly responsible...
[20:22] Headmaster
    At the hands of wicked creatures,
[20:25] Headmaster
    the sky has been dyed red,
[20:27] Headmaster
    the earth has been rent asunder,
    and the water has turned foul.
[20:31] Headmaster
    But our Crimson Demon blood cannot
    be allowed to die out here!
[20:35] Headmaster
    This is a trial we must overcome!
[20:39] Pucchin
    Headmaster...
[20:59] Funifura
    It's pretty impressive that they were able
[21:01] Funifura
    to rebuild the village after
    a single day, huh, Megumin?
[21:05] Nerimaki
    But the headmaster and the others
[21:07] Nerimaki
    got chewed out by the parental association
    after what happened, Megumin!
[21:11] Dodonko
    Of course they did! My mom was complaining
    about having to do overnight repairs.
[21:16] Yunyun
    Is that really the problem?
[21:18] Dodonko
    Lack of sleep is worse for your
    skin than gargoyles, huh, Megumin?
[21:23] Megumin
    Hold on one minute here.
[21:26] Megumin
    Why is this black furball
    being called Megumin?
[21:29] Arue
    Well, she's your familiar,
    and a fragment of your soul, right?
[21:33] Nerimaki
    And since she doesn't have a name,
    it makes sense to call her Megumin.
[21:37] Nerimaki
    Right, Megumin?
[21:38] Megumin
    Please cut that out! Seriously, stop!
[21:41] Funifura
    What's with you?
[21:42] Funifura
    Did your alter ego end up taking your
    intellect and reason along with your charm?
[21:47] Dodonko
    Isn't she awful, Megumin?

[23:25] Yunyun
    Big trouble, Megumin!
[23:26] Yunyun
    That alum, Bukkorori, is being weird
    and asking for romantic advice!
[23:30] Megumin
    Wow, a completely worthless NEET putting
    his creepiness on full display!
[23:33] Yunyun
    That's harsh! Isn't he
    like your big brother?
[23:34] Megumin
    I've never once considered
    that thing to be my brother.
[23:36] Yunyun
    So mean! N-Next time,
    we'll be at your school with an...
[23:39] Megumin
    Explosion!
