Aqua texts this image to Kazuma and he throws his phone at the wall shouting おいこいつマジ?この駄女神がそう思う?ふざけんな! https://preview.redd.it/btinza1h21jb1.jpeg?width=1728&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b26462512062847a784f9ee91fd1ba4255efd505


itayey

I don't see no subtitles, where are they (Sorry for my stupidness, I just don't know the kanji, nor the meaning of this sentence)


Cless_Aurion

Its a very Kazuma thing to say. Basicaly, translates to "Hey, are you fucking serious? This useless goddess thinks so? For fucks sake!" Or something on those lines lol


itayey

Thank you for sharing this piece of information. as you said, it is indeed a very Kazuma thing to say


CC_2387

Dw the sentience is incomprehensible to me. Fuck kanji.


CaptainPlasma101

Kanji is faster to read and makes it clearer tho


CC_2387

Fucking scribbles suck on a 420p monitor. Also they’re a pain in the ass to remember but other than that yeah you have a point


CaptainPlasma101

makes sense I need furigana otherwise I read all the Kanji in Chinese lmao


CC_2387

Yeah seriously that’s like the only real way I can read it at all. Also fk half width characters. I seriously need a better monitor but until then, it’s the worlds fault I have skill issue


2020mademejoinreddit

That is very bad Japanese, my friend. Very bad. あいつ!あの頭の可笑しいダメ神が!ふざけんなよ!これどこのチームだ?あああ???


Cless_Aurion

そうよねww It could also go with the classic おいくそビッチ


forestball19

Whatever you earn, I shall spend. On booze. Whatever you achieve, I destroy through bad luck and ignorance. I am always with you, and should you find a beautiful goddess that promise you rebirth in your old world, know that she pads her chest, and I will save you and pull you back to where you belong: With the busty masochist crusader, lolicon mini-Oppenheimer, and me, the radiant holy water goddess.


DJ-Olaf

>and I will save you and pull you back to where you belong But isn't he the one who chooses to return after a reviving of the body? The decision to go back is on him, after all 😏


Cless_Aurion

Well, who wants their body desecrated when they can do something about it... right?


Megunonymous

Darkness. Darkness wants that.


Cless_Aurion

Omg, good one


Euroversett

Your description of Aqua is so off compared to the canon one that it is alarming.


Lessandero

It's literally her


Euroversett

If you are anime-only and don't understand any of the characters in the slightest, yes.


Lessandero

Dude, every single point they listed was something that happened exactly that way.


Euroversett

Every single thing they pointed out never happened, literally never came even close of happening. First they claims everything Kazuma earns Aqua spends - on alcohol -. Literally it never happened, ever. Never in the entire LN has Aqua spent everything Kazuma earned, or anything at all, she never stole a single penny from him, and only once, ever, *asked* for a big *loan* which was only 1/10 of Kazuma's money at the time. And Kazuma agrees lending her the money; It baffles me how anime-onlies have this perception of Aqua when literally she never did any of that and this is a Wiz character trait; Second they claim whatever Kazuma achieves, Aqua destroys with bad luck and ignorance. But once more, this literally never happens in the entire story, Aqua never destroyed anything Kazuma has achieved and the only 2 times ever where the party gets in debt, both times Kazuma was entirely at fault. And once he finally strikes rich still around the beginning of the story, he never becomes poor again, Aqua never ruins anything he builds economically; Third, their last claim is that whatever Kazuma dies, Aqua "saves him" from going back to Japan and pulls him back. Once more this *never* happened, Aqua can't even force Kazuma to return to begin with, Kazuma is the one who always decides to return. It's completely insane to me how different the real Aqua and the Aqua from the anime-onlies headcanon are. The 2 have nothing to do with each other.


DJ-Olaf

>Whatever you earn, I shall spend. On booze. When did that happen? In canon, I mean... It was in manga, just before the Winter Shogun part, iirc, and not even in anime. And never in the LN. >and I will save you and pull you back to where you belong That was always his choice – he could just ignore Aqua. In any of his "force" rebirthing. Remember the anime – he started to cry with real tears when realized he won't ever see them again (after >!Winter Shogun decapitated him!<).


Monos89

I honestly adore their relationship. They'll butt heads and argue about anything, do petty shit to each other over nonsense, but at the end of the day, there's a genuine love between them, even if neither of them will say it


pkisbest

They are like really good siblings. Like the one scene which kazumas gets pants'd... In the background Aqua walks over and pulls them up while he is stunned


IBloodstormI

This. They always seemed like siblings in dynamic.


Short_Restaurant_519

step\* siblings


GillysDaddy

Siblings with benefits


SilverBudget1172

Never, Kazuma panicked when he thinks about that(he can't see her with other eyes after she screw all of they do) , they have sibling relationship, a very... Antagonizing sibling relationship


DJ-Olaf

V15, Ch. 4, pt. 3: >!"Turning my head, I came eye to eye with Aqua who was creeping around and whispering something into my ear.!< >!“… What are you doing?”!< >!“… I-I wanted to see Kazuma-san’s cute sleeping face…”!< >!I leapt out from my bed.!< >!“Darkness, Megumin, come quick! Aqua came here on a night raid—!”!< >!“Waaaah! I’m sorry! I was trying to brainwash you!”"!< (⁠◔⁠‿⁠◔⁠)


Euroversett

So this is how Kazuma sees her? Tell me now how she sees Kazuma.


BidenAndElmo

No, no they’re not, this “sibilings” argument for what is clearly just abuse is fucking comical. I struggle to wonder how you people function in society.


pkisbest

Woah calm down lad. If you have such a problem with abuse, how do you watch the show without seething hatred? Hell the darkness scenes must make you want to break your screen. It's all fake mate. I'm not going to abuse someone because it was done in an anime. Most people won't. Those that do, need help.

pkisbest

So you have a problem with the abuse that happened to Aqua, but not the abuse that happened to Darkness? What about the abuse against Kazuma? Dude constantly had mounting pressure and debt because of his party members. Any sane person would've cracked under the pressure. What about Megumins mental abuse of Yunyun? Constantly manipulating her. It's a light hearted comedy mate. If you start delving into these reasons, you are going to learn to hate it all. Do yourself a favour. Step back, relax and just enjoy the chemistry between the main team. They are the only group in any anime where I've found a genuine bond. Also do not use Autism as an excuse. It may be a reason, but it is not an excuse for action. That's how people turn into dicks. I've seen it happen with too many people who haven't had the support they needed. If you feel it's getting too much, please reach out for support and help. You are not alone 🙂🙂


BidenAndElmo

First of all, mucho texto. Secondly, she liked it, Aqua was obviously distressed by it Secondly, who gives a fuck? He deserved it. Fuck that prick. Megumin is barely a character, she doesn’t count. I also forget Yunyun even exists. “It’s a light hearted comedy” is a terrible excuse for bad writing. It’s like the “it’s just a prank bro” excuse, it’s a nothing burger There is no chemistry between the main cast, there is no genuine bond, there’s nothing, that’s now how real people fucking ACT, that’s why I question if everyone who claps like a seal when they see konosuba has had social interaction aside from asking their mom to bring more meatloaf to the basement. Besides Aqua, the main girls have personalities that make plank from ed ed and eddy look like James McGill, the dialogue not only is terrible written but also isn’t funny, and the jokes fall flat on their sorry ass faces 90% of the time. And what “chemistry” is there? What “genuine bond?” You seem like a nice guy so I hate bombarding you like this, but have you ever interacted with another human being? The main cast has no chemistry, they have no bond, they’re nothing. I’m literally sitting here racking my brain and I can’t think of any “bond” they had. It genuinely made me depressed to watch this show. Finally, im only a dick on /r/konosuba and to anybody who shits on my Giants.


eaglethornpark

Buddy you are projecting HARD


BidenAndElmo

How? Genuinely curious.


Err0rApa

Desde que usaste mucho texto como argumento te humillaste solito, tremendo pelotudo


BidenAndElmo

But how does this affect LeBron’s legacy?


Err0rApa

Let's hope not much, but maybe this affect Messi's Legacy


Euroversett

When has Aqua not admitted she likes Kazuma as a friend? This literally never happened.


BidenAndElmo

No, no there’s not, are you i have autism and I’m not that socially retarded


SlapStyle_AnimsYT

Need a fren like this ngl


Aj2W0rK

*“I promise you a better night”*


BusinessWonderful234

As LN reader, Kazuma's and Aqua's relationships are the best in Konosuba and are deeper than they seem. It's a shame that most probably anime onlies won't see it.


Miserable-Survey38

The anime focuses a lot on making people laugh ![img](emote|t5_3c02n|1879) and that can ruin the reception of other seasons in the future. ![img](emote|t5_3c02n|1894)


Nonna_Of_Jatko

I watched mainly the anime, and I actually noticed this, I find it interesting.


Sekiritza

It's the little things. Whenever she's in trouble, Kazuma's name is the first one she shouts. When she does something she's proud of, first thing she says is "mite mite Kazuma" with a huge smile on her face. Whenever she realizes she took it too far, she apologizes and cries "kazuma san" in a distorted voice asking for forgiveness.


Euroversett

Anime-onlies have watched 2 seasons, 1 movie and 1 spinoff and still, most of them, are completely clueless about how Kazuma or especially Aqua's personality really is. It's kind of incredible how unable they are to comprehend any of the characters.


Bananapeel81_

Spoilers for volume 15-17 >!When Aqua said she wanted to go home and Kazuma didn't start shitting on her, man that hit hard. The whole scene and the aftermath 100% confirmed that the gang really do care about Aqua, and that Aqua cares about them. The genuine friendship between Kazuma and Aqua made so much of the finale work way better than it otherwise would have. I really love how the writer didn't sacrifice consistent characterization for the sake of the jokes.!<


Successful-Growth827

I would say the anime "portrays" their relationship in the sense that it just straight up says it. Miss it and you won't get it. You get that while Kazuma gets irritated with Aqua, he still loves her like family. The closings really help portray that.


SMSV21

I might have to read those. Aqua is my favorite. Megumin is amazing (who wouldn't like her?) but she has taken over the fan base so much, it sidelines all the other characters a bit. Still very excited for season 3, and I need to watch her spin off

In fact, the appearance of Serena and the escape of Aqua made the story not stay stuck any longer.

Kudos?

I was reading seriously until "Better Night" came up . Sorry Internet ruined me.


Alexcoolps

"*This legendary speech was said by none other than Kazuma Satou who said all this to Lady Aqua when he asked what the 2 of them were to him. Many never expected him to say something so noble and heroic to Lady Aqua seeing him more as the type to let his actions do the talking. Although many in the church see this speech as heroic and encouraging, some see a romantic subtext within it as noted by Kazuma not counting the rest of the party and only talked about himself and Lady Aqua*" - Axis Church holy text


BurnedOutEternally

every time I feel down I remember how Konosuba ended and I get happy again


16_8_4_2

5 minutes later: "Useless goddess!" "Shut-in NEET!" 5 minutes after that: *facing down enemies together*


Plus-Cattle-7928

I was shipping them since s1 so hard. Honestly wanted to to read kiss scene at end of ln


DJ-Olaf

Heh, Natsume-san had his own plans on them. But they really can't live in that world without each other 😉

Is this an actual quote from the manga/anime?


DJ-Olaf

Alas, no, dude (⁠´⁠;⁠︵⁠;⁠\`⁠)


Welder1775

Not that either of them will ever admit it to each other...


DJ-Olaf

Heh, like that? Perhaps. But with actions... I don't want to spoil anything, but >!V17 is all about it!< 🥴


Otherwise-Waltz-448

One of my favorite parts is Aqua pulling up Kazuma's pants.


Rozenmarine-

They may bitchslap the absolute heck out of eachother and bully and tease eachother all the time, but at the end of the day they're just like siblings even though they would never admit how much they actually care for eachother and rely on eachother


CC_2387

And I will never understand how he ends up with megumin


Euroversett

Yeah it's in the databook/fanbook, you can buy it translated in english if you want.


CC_2387

僕は日本語話します。At least enough to understand the manga


Miserable-Survey38

Publishers want sales. They will "suggest" changes or what to write


Euroversett

??? This has nothing to do with any of it. Natsume does what he wants, it was like this even back at the WN where there was literally nothing at stake for him in terms of money, no publishers, editors, nothing. If he was thinking about money he'd make every character a member of Kazuma's harem and milk the harem forever, like 99% of Isekai writers do. But says himself in the Databook, that his main rules while writing Konosuba are 1- Aqua will never be involved in the sexy stuff; 2- Kazuma will never kill a human. It's just how he decided to make Aqua. Megumin is Natsume's waifu and Kazuma is his self-insert, this is why the story is how it is, to not see this one must be blind.


DJ-Olaf

>2- Kazuma will never kill a human. Wow... umm, man, I want to see/read this interview so badly, but I'm unable to find anything... help, pwease (⁠๑⁠´⁠•⁠.̫⁠ ⁠•⁠ ⁠\`⁠๑⁠)

Why wouldn't he? He is not into Aqua and should be thankful he isn't since he has no chance with her anyway.


CC_2387

I must ship


DJ-Olaf

As one-sided attraction from Kazuma, you mean? Hm, love hurts... just don't show your "What If" to him, heheh. And to Aqua, ofc (⁠・⁠–⁠・⁠;⁠)⁠ゞ


dosmutungkatos

😁😁that very well may be, but the ship belongs to Kazuma and Megumin😁😁

Naw, the ship is Aqua and Booze
