Megumin

Personality:   Megumin is a young girl with shoulder-length dark brown hair (smooth black in light novel) and oddly languid crimson-colored eyes. She has fair skin, doll-like features[1] and a light complexion. Megumin wears a classical witch attire such as a black cloak, a red robe, orange boots and a black wizard's hat, all with gold border and trimmings, alongside black choker, belt and fingerless gloves. Megumin's right leg is wrapped in white bandages and a black stocking on the left one. She carries a brown staff with a floating blue gem throughout her spinoff and until the 4th episode of the first season, where it turns red.

Personality Megumin's most notorious trait is her obsession for Explosion Magic. After being saved by a mysterious stranger using that spell, Megumin instantly fell in love with the Explosion Magic's unparalleled destructive power,[2] dedicating years studying and saving points in order to master the spell, while ignoring its many demerits. After learning it, Megumin started to come up with excuses to use Explosion Magic every day, recklessly using the spell even when she knows it will cause problems for her and her party. Megumin also doesn't accept any other type of explosion, like Kazuma's tinymites.[3] Like almost all Crimson Demons, Megumin has a chuunibyou personality, often making speeches using old Japanese dialect and striking cringe-worthy poses. However, her act can drop easily. She is also an attention seeker and has delusions of grandeur (calling herself "the foremost arch wizard and wielder of Explosion Magic" and boasting about her genius and talent, as well as fantasizing about becoming the next Devil King), alongside a taste for strange names, "cool" stuff and destructive hobbies. Although Megumin also enjoys cute stuff, she doesn't admit it in order to keep her "cool" poise. While Megumin is, according to Kazuma, weirdly smart[4] and has the most common sense of her party members,[5] she is quite childish and immature too. Megumin is short-tempered, often reacting aggressively to any provocation, and is even willing to use her Explosion Magic on those who provoke her. She is also competitive, having a notebook to count her wins.[6] She often tries to assert dominance over her friends and rivals. Megumin is also a cheater, doing whatever it takes to win. Due to those traits, Megumin was "a ruffian" in her school.[7] Although Megumin isn't a child in the Parallel World standards, she is still treated like a kid due to her appearance, which Megumin dislikes, as well as being called "child", "loli" or "jailbait". She often tries to act as a mature woman, sending mixed signals she is interested in Kazuma, believing this is the adult way of flirting. She also uses her relationship with Kazuma to look more mature to her friends. Megumin is very self-conscious about her preadolescent body as well. She often has the excuse that her body will develop later, although her bad nutrition and genetics say otherwise.[8] Megumin is also very jealous of her friends' more developed bodies, even slapping their breasts in a fit of rage.[2] She is obsessed about having a stunning body too, getting interested in becoming a great spellcaster because she believes that if she becomes a great wizard, she would have "a huge rack".[8] Due to her family being very poor, Megumin learned to get by herself early. She used to hunt or steal her own food, and was willing to eat food remains, such as crusts of bread, and even cute monsters or insects.[9] Megumin is also willing to use any underhanded method to survive, as stealing Yunyun's lunches at their duels in order to feed[2] and seize the moment to blackmail Kazuma so she could join his party.[1] At the start of the series, Megumin was very self-centered, as she only cared about herself and her sister Komekko. Because of that, Magumin also used to act like a tsundere, not admitting her feelings for those she also cares about, like Yunyun and Kazuma, and being harsh with them. However, through the series, Megumin learned to care about those around her and started to openly express her feelings for her loved ones. KONO SUBARASHII SEKAI NI SHUKUFUKU WO!

WIKI Megumin/History EDIT FanPulse: Star Wars Day 03:01 Information History Relationships Image Gallery ADVERTISEMENT Early Life Megumin was born as the daughter of the impoverished Hyoizaburoo and Yuiyui, and spent much of her infant years playing outside alone while her parents were out trying to sell their wares, though the lack of proper toys prompted her into foraging around the Crimson Demon Village for anything fun-looking that she could tinker with. Already possessing a high intelligence at the age of five even by the standards of the Crimson Demons, Megumin against the adults' advice ventured into the Tomb of the Dark God, where she played with a puzzle game which was actually the Dark God's seal, and ended up releasing both halves of the imprisoned deity. The rampaging aspect of Violence in the form of a huge black beast immediately attacked Megumin, though the little girl was accordingly saved by Wolbach, who cast an Explosion to defeat and seal her other half, the display of which deeply impressed Megumin. Because Wolbach who wanted to reward Megumin wasn't able to grant her wishes of conquering the world, getting big breasts, or becoming the Devil King, Megumin instead asked Wolbach to teach her how to cast Explosion.[1] Despite Wolbach listing the disadvantages of her learning that overpowered plus impractical spell, Megumin insisted on learning Explosion, the incantations for which Wolbach agreed to teach her over the span of several days. Megumin however kept inserting cool-sounding phrases into the incantations as well as make cool poses while chanting, and to Wolbach's surprise they actually made the Explosions more powerful. Some days later, Megumin expressed her doggedness in only learning Explosion, even after she became capable of learning the other advanced magic spells Wolbach suggested and demonstrated the usefulness of. Finally the day came when Wolbach had to leave, so Megumin asked to see her cast Explosion again, while promising to show Wolbach her own Explosion once she learned it.[2] At some other point during her childhood, during which she became the older sister of Komekko, Megumin engaged in a friendly rivalry with her neighbour Bukkororii,[3] and had once drove him to tears by shoving him into the pond.[4] ADVERTISEMENT School Days Arc By the time Megumin turned twelve, she had already become an expert at scraping the nearby countryside for anything edible while Komekko looked on, with cicadas from the forest and small crayfishes from the river being common game,[5][6] since the sisters didn't have anything to eat while their parents spent long days abroad.[7] (In the anime, on the way back from one such trip to the river, the sisters ran into Yunyun as she played by herself, so thinking that she was hungry, Megumin gifted her with one of their crayfishes. Afterwards, they returned to find their parents back at their home and much richer from making a successful sale, allowing them to afford a sukiyaki feast as well as a new school uniform for Megumin's upcoming enrollment at school, where she hoped to learn Explosion Magic)[6] Subsequent to the commencement ceremony at Red Prison, Megumin held herself in an aloof manner among her new classmates, before Yunyun approached claiming to be her rival aimed at defeating her.[6] As Megumin began her school days learning all sorts of magical knowledge, she consistently maintained the best grades in the class (though during pop-up quizzes regarding the traditions of the Crimson Demons, her action-oriented answers always lost to Arue's ones centering on coolness), and was rewarded with many vials of skill-up potions that quickly brought her closer to learning Explosion Magic. Daily contests with Yunyun also became an imperative part of Megumin's life, since her inability to afford breakfast and lunch meant that she could only get to eat by beating Yunyun and taking her lunch box as a prize. Her body which was underdeveloped due to malnourishment from her impoverished life, however, always brought her embarrassment whenever the school nurse using magic measured her underwhelming physical statistics alongside the well-developed girls in the class, prompting Megumin to repeatedly take it out on Yunyun's breasts. Megumin's habit of shirking from physical education, usually by making all sorts of chuunibyou excuses to her teacher Pucchin before sleeping the lesson out in the sick bay, didn't help her bodily growth either.[7] At school after classes ended on a hot summer day, Megumin and her classmates were discussing topics like wishing upon a star and curses, when Pucchin came telling that classes would be postponed for an hour tomorrow because the villagers planned to make it snow overnight for lowering the temperature, following which Megumin quarreled with Yunyun and Funifura due to them commenting about snowdrifts impeding her short body. She later returned home to catch crayfish and eat frogs with Komekko, then on the next morning the sisters played in the new snow around the house until Yunyun came to remind them of school. Upon arriving at the schoolyard, Megumin found herself targeted by snowballs from Funifura and Dodonko followed by Arue and Yunyun, so she chased them off with an icicle, and subsequently enjoyed the shaved ice sold to them by Nerimaki, which indeed made her late for classes as a result.[8] When summer vacation came early, Megumin brought Komekko to Demon's Hill for harvesting wild Tomatoes, then pitted the vegetables they captured against the Onions that Nerimaki had been harvesting in the area, though the weeping magic cast upon them by the Onions made their eyes sore. Leaving the Yunyun they ran into the next day behind, the sisters loitered around Nerimaki's family pub for people who would treat them to a meal, until Arue came up to tempt Komekko through food into selling Megumin out to become her spelling-checker for her novel manuscripts. Trapped indoors for the next two days because of thick snow, two more days later the sisters went out to gather fish blown ashore by the Great Spirit of the Storm. As snow began accumulating again, the sisters went to Arue's home to review her completed manuscript, where Megumin had a quarrel with the aspiring writer after making frank criticisms. Spending the following weeks heading to Demon's Hill for harvesting wild vegetables whenever food ran out and helping Arue review her revised manuscripts, one day Megumin upon seeing snowmen masterfully crafted by Yunyun couldn't resist kicking them, and had to spend the next day with her making snowmen repeatedly.[9] Megumin finally remembered that she still needed to do her summer homework when on the last day of summer vacation, Dodonko and Funifura showed up at her home asking to copy them. Discovering Arue and Nerimaki also in the same situation, the five girls proceeded to the chief's home, where it turned out Yunyun had finished her homework at the start of the vacation. Guiltily accepting Yunyun's offer of letting them copy her homework, Megumin quarrelled with the passive Yunyun in a fashion that looked like a couple to the bystanders, then upon completing the copying by nightfall, took everyone to fulfill Yunyun's wish of watching stars on Demon's Hill, though they ended up only looking at the fireworks under a cloudy sky courtesy of the villagers battling against the Great Spirit of the Summer. The girls soon witnessed somebody summoning a shooting star, so in accordance with Dodonko's belief, Megumin made a wish for herself to rattle the world one day alongside wonderful adventurer companions.[10] After school restarted, during one class regarding special magic of the Detonation Series, Megumin inquired about Explosion Magic which got left out of the lecture, only to be told that it was a useless and impractical spell because it took too much time and effort to learn but couldn't be effectively wielded on adventures and battles. She later participated in a physical education lesson, where Pucchin as he cast a spell at the rainclouds above demonstrated how to coolly enact magic, followed by the students pairing up for devising cool introduction phrases and poses. Coming up with an excuse to head for the sick bay so the partnerless Yunyun could team up with Arue instead, Megumin slept out the ensuing downpour claimed by Pucchin to be the Dark God's doing[7] (while in the anime, Megumin was merely told to sit at the sidelines, before having to go help the class catch the Headmaster's tulips when they ran off once it started raining)[6]. Spending her time doing self-study at the school library after Pucchin and other adults dealt with the rain's aftermath, Megumin studied books regarding Explosion Magic before entertaining herself with The Unfettered Lord and speaking out for Yunyun when Funifura teased her. Later dismissed early to return home in groups because the faculty discovered the seal at the Tomb of the Dark God tampered with, she was treated to a meal by Yunyun at the village cafe, during which they discussed topics of romance.[7] Megumin eventually returned to her home at dusk, where Komekko proudly showed her the little black cat with wings who would later become Chomusuke. Uneasy with Komekko's idea of cooking the "black beast" that she had captured while playing outside, Megumin took it to school the following day, claiming the cat to be her "familiar" formed from half of her soul, something Pucchin allowed Megumin to do after hearing her chuunibyou excuse. The other students starting to call the cat "Megumin", however, soon drove her crazy, so subsequent to many naming suggestions, they temporarily settled with "Kuro" that Yunyun had proposed. Following a trip to the village blacksmith, whose preference of having young girls wield giant weapons was commented on by Megumin, she returned home to hear Komekko talk about playing with a toy she found outside everyday, a scenario Megumin found similar to the period when Wolbach appeared.[7] The following day, Megumin won lunch by challenging Yunyun to stab between the fingers of her splayed palm using her new short sword, which forced her conscientious classmate into conceding. Later hearing Yunyun reveal that she still needed 3 more skill points to learn Advanced Magic and graduate, Megumin who was saving up her skill points for the more costly Explosion Magic talked of needing 4 more points before she could graduate. Doing self-study again because Pucchin was out leading the village NEETs with hunting the aggravated monsters around the village, she had a discussion with Yunyun after discovering the loner reading books on making friends with inhuman creatures, and was about to volunteer for being Yunyun's friend when Funifura and Dodonko beat her to it. Receiving a share of lunch from Yunyun anyways, Megumin joined the other girls discussing romance topics while eating, before heading back home alongside Yunyun and running into Bukkororii on the way. Upon returning home, however, Megumin inadvertently mistook the purchase order that Wiz handed to Komekko as a prank, before discovering a terrified Kuro placed in the pot courtesy of her starving sister, which prompted Megumin into bringing the cat to school ever since.[3] Unable to extort food from Yunyun on a weekend, Megumin led Komekko to swindle some from Bukkororii, though her ploy was rejected by the jobless NEET, so she again used dirty tricks to beat Yunyun at their daily contest in school the next day. When Pucchin later declared field training against monsters in the forest, Megumin tried to invite Yunyun into her team, only to watch her taken away by Funifura and Dodonko, leaving her to pair up with Arue instead. Armed with oversized mock weapons, she and the other students started earning experience points by dealing the fatal blow to weak monsters frozen in place by Pucchin. Megumin soon caught sight of a tearful Yunyun being pressured by Funifura and Dodonko to stab a frozen Lovely Rabbit, and so stepped in to force Dodonko into doing the deed instead.[3] The girls all paused when Arue alerted them to the presence of a Servant of the Dark God nearby, then as they panickedly scattered in different directions, Megumin ran alongside Arue and Yunyun while the monster headed straight for her. When the flying Demon cut off their escape, the helpless Megumin offered up Kuro as a sacrifice, which peculiarly stopped the Demon in its tracks, before Yunyun stepped between them in an attempt to drive the monster off. Eventually rescued by Pucchin who let them off early, Megumin's effort to have Yunyun accompany her home was thwarted by Funifura and Dodonko, who continued sticking by her side the next day, prompting an irked Megumin to fight and deviously defeat Yunyun in combat exercises by using Kuro to stop attacks. Later followed by Yunyun as she went home, they found Bukkororii lurking around as he tried asking them for help, before discovering to her surprise that somebody had been gifting Komekko with lots of food.[3] (In the anime, the girls were instead attacked by a Gargoyle, prompting a panicked Megumin to flee alongside Arue, Yunyun's team as well as Nerimaki. They were subsequently rescued by Bukkororii after jumping over the pit he had gotten himself trapped in, though his ensuing stalker antics disgusted Megumin so much she joined the other girls into abandoning him. Megumin and the other girls later reached a hill overlooking the village, before witnessing it being destroyed along with the Gargoyles swarming it by the overzealous school faculty and some other villagers, who then had to rebuild it overnight)[11] Megumin and Yunyun played a boardgame similar to chess the following morning while waiting to meet Bukkororii, yet after Megumin flipped the board pursuant to the convoluted rules when she was about to lose, they discovered the NEET still asleep at his home, so Megumin got him violently woken up by citing his words to his father in a misleading fashion. The girls were later taken to the village's cafe, where Bukkororii asked for advice to hit on Soketto. The three of them next observed Soketto sweeping at her shop front, making Megumin come up with the idea of asking Soketto to divine if she is Bukkororii's fated lover, though Bukkororii's lack of money to pay for the divination saw them going on a One-Punch Bear hunt in hopes of harvesting its valuable liver. The girls though got a fright when Bukkororii cast Light of Reflection to render himself invisible while the One-Punch Bear caught sight of and went after them, before he cut it open from behind with Light of Saber, yet the unexpected appearance of a whole sloth forced them to leave the liver behind as they fled.[12] (In the anime, Bukkororii surprised Megumin when he Teleported into the school library she and her class were self-studying at, then subsequent to her and Yunyun digging him out from the pile of books their classmates had buried him under, agreed to help him hit on Soketto)[13] Returning to Soketto's shop only to find her having gone out, the girls were sickened by Bukkororii giving a precise account of Soketto's habits discovered through stalking, but still agreed to strike a conversation with a shopping Soketto for asking her interests. Distracted by Yunyun as Soketto purchased a wooden sword, Megumin and the others tailed the fortune teller as she trained with her new weapon on falling leaves, and thus suggested Bukkororii to help her by blowing more leaves down, only to have the NEET overdo it with Tornado and blow Soketto into the air as well. After escaping the baffled Soketto's pursuit, the girls were treated to lunch by Bukkororii, so Megumin proposed for a masked Yunyun to attack Soketto in order for Bukkororii to heroically come to the rescue, only to have Yunyun reject the idea.[12] Next hearing from the cafe's owner about Soketto heading for the dangerous forest to train, the girls joined an excited Bukkororii in following the trail of monster corpses to locate her, only to look in horror when Bukkororii's Inferno spell aimed at the attacking One-Punch Bears also caught Soketto in the blaze, before directing the enraged Soketto into beating Bukkororii up. Later expressing pity at the NEET when Soketto couldn't see anyone becoming Bukkororii's lover, Megumin on the way back discussed with Yunyun the topic of their future lovers, though upon returning home, she set out again to beat Bukkororii up when Komekko talked of him sending her food so in return the little girl will marry him when she grew up.[12] At some point during the period, Megumin followed the tiring ritual for obtaining great magical powers as noted in the book A Certain Necro's Note that she found in her home's storeroom, only to be enraged when Komekko told her how it was just a collection of nonsense penned by Bukkororii.[14] She also confronted the NEET for seducing her sister with food, before they both boasted themselves as being the stronger upon Komekko asking.[4] And on one school holiday, she and Arue trailed Yunyun to observe what she did on breaks, which turned out to be heartbreakingly lonely scenes, prompting them to eventually show themselves for inviting Yunyun to games along with Funifura and Dodonko.[15] Megumin several days afterwards became amazed when Yunyun not only handed her lunch to keep her from disturbing, but her test results didn't make it into the top 3 and disqualified her from receiving skill-up potions. Later hearing Dodonko talk of witnessing Mitsurugi's party, Megumin began daydreaming of joining the party of an upright hero to defeat the Devil King before taking his place. Yunyun next came asking for advice on whether she should oblige with Funifura and Dodonko's request to help pay for medicine needed by Funifura's ailing brother, so Megumin gave her some precautions about the matter, before hearing Bukkororii come talking about the new band of vigilantes he had set up as well as the tourist attractions where dangerous things were sealed.[16] Witnessing Yunyun giving in and handing money to Funifura and Dodonko on the way to school the following day, Megumin confronted the pair about the matter while shaking her bag, before offering to produce the medicine without the need to buy it. With the first lesson being the creation of magic items, she used the opportunity to ask Pucchin for ways to make a medicine capable of healing any sickness. Megumin accordingly followed the formula he provided and cut up some resisting Mandrakes, yet when reaching out for the Duxion, Yunyun adamantly stopped her from laying hands on the cute monster. Arue managed to diffuse the situation by cutting up the Duxion's onion which was needed for the medicine, though upon hearing the relieved Yunyun talk of the Duxion's high experience points as well as culinary value, Megumin abruptly killed it to level herself up. Now known as the "Duxion Slayer", Megumin called Funifura and Dodonko out after school to hand them the medicine, then demanded Yunyun's money back and warned them not to take advantage of her loneliness again, though she still beat the pair up when they teased her over her loving relationship with Yunyun.[16] Joining Yunyun who was waiting for her at the school gate along with Kuro, Megumin returned the money while vaguely explaining what happened, before taking advantage of the grateful Yunyun's offer to treat her for a meal by eating all that money away[16] (at Torosuke's cafe in the anime)[17]. Taking a rest at a lakeside park before heading home, she boasted of how killing the Duxion at class brought her to only 1 more skill point left for graduation, then expressed disbelief when Yunyun revealed that she had purposefully refrained from raising her skill points so they could graduate together. Megumin proceeded to tell Yunyun how she avoided learning Advanced Magic despite having all the needed skill points already, so she could achieve her goal of learning Explosion Magic, before getting beaten up by a shocked Yunyun. Muttering excuses to explain her loss, Megumin went on to explain her reasons for learning Explosion Magic as well as her plans after doing so. She accordingly noticed a wild Duxion coming along, and so killed it for dinner, then managed to overpower the distraught Yunyun when she attacked her.[16] As the girls headed to Megumin's home while dusk fell, they were alerted to the Servants of the Dark God overrunning the village, so Megumin invited Yunyun to her home for sheltering while the villagers fought the Demons, only to discover one of the monsters rummaging inside and no trace of Komekko.[16] Using Yunyun to surprise the Demon, Megumin managed to stab it to death with Yunyun's short sword, before coming to the conclusion that Komekko had gone out. As Megumin resisted Yunyun's efforts to stop her from searching outside, they found another Demon taking off with Kuro, whom Megumin prepared to abandon after her sword-throwing missed the monster. Deciding to search for Komekko first, Megumin following a series of reasoning realised that her sister had been playing with the seal at the Tomb of the Dark God just like she herself had done many years ago. She immediately took Yunyun with her towards the Tomb, where from the cover of bushes they indeed spied Komekko squaring off against the Demons who had captured Kuro. Unable to count on other villagers who were busy fighting Demons elsewhere, Megumin had no choice but to abandon Explosion Magic for learning Advanced Magic so she can defeat the monsters surrounding Komekko, only to have Yunyun beat her to it through learning Intermediate Magic.[18] Megumin soon took Komekko in escape as Yunyun fought the Demons, though ridden with guilt over making her classmate get stigmatised as well as lose access to the school's skill-up potions because of having learned Intermediate Magic, after a discussion with Komekko she decided to turn back and fight. Laying in wait among the bushes for the coolest opportunity to show herself, Megumin got her moment stolen when Komekko jumped out upon the Demons' reinforcements arriving. With Yunyun collapsing from fatigue after blasting the latest bunch of Demons, only to have the whole horde herded to their position by the villagers who planned to take them all out in one powerful barrage, Megumin as she unsuccessfully tried to evacuate everybody without the monsters noticing, finally grasped that Kuro was the Dark God, whom Komekko had freed when playing with the seal at the Tomb, and was now attracting the Demons.[18] Making up her mind to learn magic and notify their presence to the villagers, Megumin discovered to her elation that according to her Adventurer Card, she had accumulated enough skill points to learn Explosion Magic after killing the wild Duxion. Jubilantly learning her dream magic, she cast her first Explosion at the Demons all bunched together in the sky, wiping out the whole horde in a spectacular display and becoming addicted to the spell's sheer power. Megumin accordingly collapsed from spending all of her magical powers, which spurred her on to look for companions upon becoming an adventurer, and subsequently the limp girls were rescued by the villagers.[18] Keeping what happened a secret to all villagers except for Pucchin, Megumin was told by Yunyun of the goddess without a name released by her Explosion, while also covering up the truth of the Dark God's unsealing by Komekko. As the two of them graduated from school because of having learned magic, she decided to make Kuro her familiar, whom she renamed to "Chomusuke".[18] Some time afterwards, Soketto offered to divine Megumin's fortune for free, though after hearing that she would head for Axel and meet many adventuring companions including a peculiar young man, the fortune teller only gave her vague answers on a calamity befalling the village as well as the grand fate she was destined for.[19] ADVERTISEMENT Journey to Axel Arc Spending rare moments on some nights telling Komekko bedtime stories about the fairy tale of a lone adventurer who defeated the Devil King solo,[20] Megumin who needed to earn the 300 thousand eris Teleportation fare to Arcanletia tried for the six months following her graduation to seek work around the village at magic item workshops, since she couldn't fight monsters without vulnerably collapsing after each Explosion, yet failed in all of her attempts. Releasing her stress through Explosions at the village outskirts during nighttime and having Komekko drag her limp form home before the villagers catch her red-handed, she became anxious when labelled a NEET by her sister and invited by Bukkororii to join his "Red-Eye Dead Slayers" as another NEET member. Megumin thus tried to get a job dying cloth through magic at Chekera's shop, but was fired because she poured too much magic into the cloth and brought it to the verge of exploding[21] (which ended up occurring in the anime)[22]. Next seeking work at the potions shop despite the pay being less promising, and with the ingredient gathering task that involves fighting One-Punch Bears proving too much for her, Megumin had to really consider one of the owner's alternative offers, where she has to test-drink new potions. Following another nighttime Explosion and Komekko dragging her on a bumpy sleigh ride back home, Megumin's daily transgressions finally caught up with her when Yunyun banged on her home's door early in the morning and demanded answers. Unable to deflect the deed onto the Devil King's Army, she eventually confessed to be the culprit as well as her woes of being unemployed, but when describing what she will need to do if she accepted the job for test-drinking potions, Megumin became puzzled by Yunyun turning aghast before trying to burn down the potions shop in fury. She afterwards clarified what the job actually entails to Yunyun, who had misunderstood Megumin's earlier descriptions of the offer to mean prostituting her body out.[21] Later that day, Megumin brought Chomusuke along as she accompanied Yunyun into the village to find other lower-paying mundane jobs, but when working at a restaurant, she lost her temper upon Funifura and Dodonko sitting down as customers before throwing taunts, which got both her and Yunyun fired. They next worked as harvesters for crops raised by farmers through magic, yet Megumin kept getting a beating from the long onions (or potatoes in the anime)[22] for meagre pay. Full of stress by the end of the day, Megumin tricked Yunyun into accompanying on her trip to relieve it by an Explosion deep within the forest, which ended up waking some napping Fire Drakes. After being carried to safety by Yunyun, the pair was discovered by the patrolling Bukkororii, at whom Megumin told a blatant lie about them fighting against a voluptuous female Demon who was the Explosion culprit. She was later dropped off back at her home by Yunyun who promised to return in the morning for more work, but just as Megumin told Komekko to prepare the bath as she patted Chomusuke at the front door, a red-haired woman walked in looking for her master.[21] Initially mistaking the "master" to be herself, Megumin was soon corrected by Arnes as she identified Chomusuke to be her master "Wolbach" whom she had been seeking. Although expressing unwillingness to part with her pet, upon Arnes leaving behind 300 thousand eris, Megumin quickly agreed to sell off the reluctant Chomusuke, with whom Arnes gave her one night to convey goodbyes. Accordingly explaining her intent to Komekko during dinner while convincing herself of making the right choice, Megumin on the following morning presented Chomusuke to the first visitor of the day, who turned out to be Yunyun instead of Arnes. Managing to assure Yunyun how she didn't have to find work now that she had earned the Teleportation fee through legitimate means, her misgivings over selling Chomusuke resurfaced when Arnes who came to collect the cat was unmasked to be a Demon. Pressured into handing over her familiar, Megumin was saved when Yunyun cast a Fireball at Arnes and attracted the attention of Bukkororii and his vigilantes, who thinking Arnes as the Explosion culprit chased her off with a magical barrage.[23] (In the anime, Megumin and Yunyun out of pity served Arnes tea after she was unmasked as a Demon and fainted from recalling the trauma of all the betrayals by the scummy men attracted by a magic bracelet on her arm, right before Bukkororii and other scummy village men attracted by the bracelet discovered and chased the Demon off)[22] Megumin anyhow decided to keep Arnes' money for the Teleportation fee, and declared setting out on her journey the following day, at which she got invited by Yunyun to her home for a farewell party that Arue, Funifura, and Dodonko also attended. She proceeded to receive a magic rod from Funifura and Dodonko, where were grateful over the medicine she had brewed for Funifura's brother. Next gifted by Yunyun a set of red wizard robes to replace the worn school uniform she had been wearing since graduation, Megumin was subsequently given an eyepatch by Arue that she fictitiously claimed to be a sealing item for her, which Megumin took a brand new specimen of. Accompanied by Yunyun on her way home following the party, she spoke about her goal of eventually defeating the Devil King and replacing him, as well as letting the neighbours take care of Komekko and taking Chomusuke on her journey[23] (though in the anime she decided to go alone)[22]. After giving all sorts of advice to Komekko during their last night together, Megumin on her way out the following morning threw Bukkororii under the bus by telling his father of how he taught her sister bad words, before she headed to the Teleportation station, where she was seen off by her classmates who attended the farewell party sans Yunyun, and subsequently used up all her wealth for getting Teleported to Arcanletia.[23] The confidence of Megumin quickly died down soon after arriving at Arcanletia, when she discovered that the local Adventurer Guild didn't allow her to take quests because she was too low-levelled, leaving her unable to earn money for the carriage fare towards Axel. Sitting around a week later looking at followers of the Axis Order trying unsuccessfully to convert passersby to their faith, Megumin found herself mistaking someone else as Yunyun, thus got her act together for finding a job. Her losing control at being called a little girl by customers, however, got her fired from all the restaurants. Left to starve on the streets, Megumin upon hearing a woman scream rushed to an alleyway, where she found Cecily being grabbed by two priests of the Eris Order, prompting the Crimson Demon to step out making an introduction. Grilling the priests who denied Cecily's accusations about them assaulting her, the truth that Cecily, who had fled during the distraction, was being sought for stealing bread and defacing holy portraits at the church of Eris surfaced, much to Megumin's embarrassment. Subsequently bewildered when Cecily returned with a policewoman while accusing the Eris priests of harassing a little girl, the confused Megumin was grabbed by the Axis priest into fleeing the scene at the first chance. Despite refusing Cecily's attempts to coerce her into signing a form for joining the Axis Order, an empty stomach made Megumin powerless to resist the offer of food at the order's main cathedral.[24] Brought to the dining hall of the main cathedral, where many followers were excited at the presence of a loli girl much to her vexation, Megumin thwarted an attempt to label her a member of the order as soon as she eats their food. She was next introduced to Zesta who offered her a room until she managed to find work, though Megumin was subsequently put off when in response to her offer of doing anything as gratitude, Zesta pondered having her perform various perverted deeds for him. Accordingly witnessing Zesta and other followers at a loss on how to improve their low conversion rates, Megumin proposed teaching them a few tricks. That night, however, she was harassed by Cecily when they were bathing and going to bed.[24] Megumin on the following day brought Zesta into the city, and planned to purposefully drop a bag of apples in front of helpful passersby, so that Zesta can timely emerge while they are helping her pick up the apples to strike a conversation for conversion, yet this plan failed on a pretty female passerby because Zesta lecherously rushed out to drop the apples before sexually harassing the woman and scaring her off. Megumin next suggested for her to feign being assaulted by Zesta, which is actually a ploy to attract passersby coming to her rescue for conversion, but Zesta remained hidden when Megumin tried to pull this trick on a tough man who turned out to be a policeman, resulting in her getting lectured. Angry and wanting to head back, Megumin was persuaded into going on by the pontiff through food, so during the snack break she talked to Zesta about Chomusuke. Proceeding to reveal her goal of seeking a busty woman who could cast Explosion Magic, she became surprised when Zesta recalled one such person running a magic item shop in Axel.[24] Continuing after they finished eating, Megumin was shocked when Zesta replaced the toilet paper in public toilets with Axis conversion forms without considering the possibility that people will use them for wiping instead of signing. After the pair got chased down by police, a Megumin at her patience' end demonstrated a trick where she feigned tripping over in front of a kind-looking girl Zesta had spotted, only to discover her to be an unamused Yunyun[24] (who in the anime brought Chomusuke along with her and lividly rolled Megumin down the road)[25]. Later having the Yunyun interrogating them introduced to Zesta, Megumin prodded her for the reason she also came to Arcanletia, which forced Yunyun into making up more excuses. They all accordingly followed the pontiff back to the main cathedral, where Megumin initially defended Zesta from the female knight waiting to arrest him, until she changed her mind when Cecily and other followers listed some of Zesta's perverted antics. Following Zesta's arrest for conspiring treason based on Soketto's prophecy about the Devil King's Army bringing catastrophe once anomalies occurred in the city's hot springs, Megumin noticed Yunyun's guilty reaction, and forced her to confess on being the one who delivered the prophecy, before hearing from the Axis followers how they could manage without Zesta.[24] Telling Yunyun on the next morning not to fret over having delivered Soketto's letter, down at the cathedral's dining hall Megumin was surprised to find only Cecily eating breakfast, since the other followers had gone out vying for votes to become the next pontiff, something the Priest hired the Crimson Demons to help her with later on. After the initially unwilling Yunyun agreed to assist, Megumin suggested they investigate the inns that complained about anomalies with their hot springs, but became disgusted by Cecily betting on Zesta being guilty, in addition to witnessing another follower bribing for votes using Cecily's panties, the owner of which got upset because the votes weren't for her. Megumin continued to help obstruct additional crazy campaign activities by Tristan and other followers that were causing widespread disturbances, before taking a break with Yunyun, during which Cecily treated them to Gelatinous Slime.[26] Finally going to investigate the inns, the trio were astonished to learn that the hot springs water from the taps had turned into Gelatinous Slime, something Megumin and Yunyun had to stop Cecily from drinking. Next heading to the distribution systems which channeled the hot springs water from its source in the mountains all over the city, they discovered the same thing happening with the water there too. As some policemen presented them with a sack of Gelatinous Slime powder that were poured into the system by Zesta the previous night, Megumin expressed skepticism over him doing it for sabotage, only to have the policemen dismiss her queries by citing the Axis Order's idiocy. While the three girls made their way back in the afternoon, during which Megumin tried to cheer up the downhearted Cecily about the pontiff's eventual return only to be reminded by Yunyun of his possible execution, they became surprised to see a cocky Zesta being released from the police station because he was proven during interrogation to be innocent of conspiring treason, so Megumin was accordingly handed an unwanted bribe of Gelatinous Slime powder by Cecily for keeping her earlier attitude a secret.[26] Walking back at dusk as they wondered who was behind the hot springs' anomalies, Megumin was stunned to see Arnes threateningly approach the group demanding Chomusuke, and gave Zesta, who became excited at Arnes' scandalous attire, a brief overview of the Demon. She was next dumbfounded by the normally-shoddy Zesta easily Reflecting Arnes' Fireball before casting Exorcism Magic powerful enough to purify her,[26] and could only watch while he alongside Cecily led other Axis followers into fanatically hunting after the fleeing Arnes.[27] As they waited for things to die down, Megumin made fun of Yunyun by repeatedly changing her mind on when to head for Axel, so that Yunyun who wanted to join her had to keep changing her plans too. Megumin was subsequently gifted the money for the carriage to Axel by the returning Zesta as gratitude for her ideas for conversion that he planned to improve on, before they both ganged up on Yunyun by repeatedly alternating Megumin's departure plans. She alongside Cecily later bathed in the tiny hot springs Blasted out behind the main cathedral, and accordingly cast an Explosion in order to release her pent up energy, which created a huge hot springs bath that Zesta later made into the order's secret spring. Then on the following morning, Megumin took Yunyun and Chomusuke to the carriage terminal, where Zesta who welcomed her to visit the city again gave her a Blessing, and Cecily handed over a packet of Axis conversion forms that Megumin immediately threw at her face, before the caravan they boarded set out.[26] While Megumin hogged the windowside seat and bragged to a little girl travelling with her mother in the same carriage, she noticed a shadow trailing the caravan for a while before it disappeared. Later as the caravan stopped for a break on a grassland along the highway between Arcanletia and Axel, Megumin against Yunyun's advice uttered some flag lines, before the two Crimson Demons were asked by adventures guarding the caravan to help against an attack by a clew of Giant Earthworms, prompting Megumin to begin chanting for Explosion in panic until Yunyun began taking the disgusting monsters out by herself. Subsequently asked to compare herself to Yunyun by the little girl as the caravan continued on its way, she could only awkwardly boast of being stronger than her kin who was now the centre of attraction.[28] That night when the caravan made camp, Megumin became frustrated at Yunyun being treated not only like a star but also mistaken to be her older sister, but just as the Crimson Demons were left alone by the campfire, Chomusuke was suddenly abducted by Giant Bats, which Megumin again left for Yunyun to defeat so that the cat could be rescued, though other adventurers unimpressed by her inaction began questioning her competence. During the caravan trip on the next day, once again Megumin tried to tout her abilities to the little girl while Yunyun and other adventurers battled attacking Goblins, only to find Arnes herself assaulting the caravan.[28] Displaying unwillingness to hand over Chomusuke but also unable to return Arnes' money, Megumin tried citing the edicts of the Axis Order to worm her way out of the contract, which earned her a lecture from the Demon over humans always breaking their promises. With Arnes, who mistook her for unable to cast any magic due to her inactions throughout the attacks by monsters that the Demon had driven their way, easily beating up the other adventurers and using the whole caravan as hostage, Megumin tried using Chomusuke as hostage in return, only to have her ploy seen through as mere bluster. When she was once again called a fake Crimson Demon while Yunyun tried to defend her, Megumin who had enough threw Chomusuke into the air, and made to hit Arnes with Explosion, only to be obstructed by Yunyun because of Chomusuke also being within the attack radius, rendering her unable to do anything as Arnes prepared to finish them off with a powerful Cursed Lightning.[28] (In the anime, Megumin noticed Arnes wearing one of Hyoizaburoo's bracelets and thanked her for the business, yet Arnes who had suffered all sorts of misfortunes because of the flawed magic item was instead further enraged, thus she readied an even larger Cursed Lightning for obliterating Megumin in body and soul)[29] Just as Arnes was about to launch her magic while Yunyun prayed for divine intervention, something godly from the direction of Axel distracted the Demon, allowing Chomusuke to break free from Arnes before being caught by Yunyun, so Megumin immediately launched her Explosion a split second quicker than Arnes' reaction to obliterate her,[28] (while in the anime Megumin's Explosion first overpowered Arnes' Cursed Lightning and then vanquished the Demon)[29]. Now treated as the star of the caravan during the remainder of the trip, Megumin heard Yunyun declare the goal of defeating her once she learned Advanced Magic. When the caravan eventually rolled into the streets of Axel soon after the Crimson Demons wondered what had distracted Arnes, the sight of Kazuma and Aqua following their arrival to her world caught Megumin's attention, though it made her want to avoid the pair.[28] Eventually taking a rest at her inn room that the grateful caravan leader rented for the Crimson Demons, the exhausted Megumin reread the fairy tail about the lone adventurer who defeated the Devil King only to replace him as the new Devil King, which reinvigorated her resolve to seek adventuring companions.[30] ADVERTISEMENT Irregular of Axel Arc Megumin before taking a rest heard Kazuma and Aqua arguing downstairs about them regretting their choice of coming to this world, as well as glimpsed Dust preparing to throw a feast with his party.[31] She was then waken when Kazuma and Aqua had another argument over them having to sleep in the stables, thus went to eat with Yunyun as they discussed plans for becoming adventurers, during which Megumin heard some other adventurers refer to Wiz as the busty Archwizard who can cast Explosion Magic, though she held back from visiting her and instead chose to become a seasoned adventurer first.[32] Early the following morning, Megumin took Yunyun to the local Guild in hopes of impressing other adventurers with a pompous introduction, only to turn embarrassed upon discovering the building to be empty of patrons. She thus decided to let Yunyun register for being an adventurer first, and waited until more adventurers arrived before she asked Luna to verify her Adventurer Card for registration. As anticipated, Luna blurted out for a crowd to hear about the Crimson Demon's high Intelligence and Magical Power stats, though Megumin was put off from hearing the receptionist comment about her Magical Power being lower than Aqua,[32] whom the Ruffian and some other adventurers advised her to avoid since she's an Axis follower claiming to be a goddess.[33] With her initial introduction attracting a proliferation of parties trying to recruit her, Megumin hoping to get bigger shares of quest rewards sought out those with few members, while leaving Yunyun to her own devices in hopes that she could overcome her communication handicap. When performing a test quest alongside Ryze and Laina against Chestnut Rats preying on a chestnut orchid, however, the overpowered Explosion Megumin unleashed not only obliterated the monsters but also the chestnut trees they were supposed to protect as well, resulting in the party of siblings ditching her once hearing of the Crimson Demon being capable of nothing but casting one Explosion each day, as well as Megumin having to spend all her money to pay for the chestnut trees she had blown away. Back at the Guild, Megumin noticed the lonesome Yunyun's party recruitment advertisement, which was written like one asking for friends, before hearing Kazuma and Aqua getting fired from their job at the Guild's dining hall. Cheering up upon realising herself in a better situation and decided to call it a day, she heard the horrifying story from Yunyun about how only a weirdo man responded to her recruitment advertisement, prompting Megumin to advise her into writing a better one.[32] Hearing a Guild announcement the following day about a powerful Demon being sighted in the nearby forest, Megumin noticed Yunyun who was playing boardgames by herself removing some requirements from her advertisement. Next looking at other recruitment advertisements, she skipped the conceited one from Mitsurugi as well as the one where Chris overrode Darkness' requirements, before settling on the advertisement from Ein's party.[32] Yet when accompanying their party into the forest (where in the anime they glimpsed Chris chasing after a slime-covered Darkness)[33], Megumin was unable to help against a swarm of Slimes in fear of her Explosion hitting them too, and only embarrassed herself when trying to smack down using her magic rod a flock of Bloody Squirrels that pissed on her. Just as Lott began questioning her competence, their party was shocked to see a Mega Slime approaching to eat the dead Bloody Squirrels and prepared to retreat, at which Megumin proudly impressed them by vanquishing the Mega Slime with one Explosion. She was subsequently taken back to the Guild where Ein's party congratulated her, but as soon as she confessed about being only able to use Explosion and having no intention of learning other spells, they too decided against letting her join them.[32] Seeking the company of Yunyun for solace, Megumin over a boardgame match recounted her failure to secure a party while hearing of another weirdo responding to Yunyun's advertisement, before she flipped the board upon her imminent loss. Once again contemplating on her worthlessness during her way back to the inn, the sight of Kazuma and Aqua getting fired from their job at a banana stall managed to encourage Megumin into going on.[32] A week though passed without any party willing to let Megumin join them, so she began casting Explosions outside the city gate before collapsing, much to the vexation of the city guard who had to carry her back into the city[34] (something which was performed by the construction foreman in the anime while he told her about Wiz being a busty Archwizard who could cast Explosion Magic)[35]. Slumping over back at the Guild where only Yunyun's advertisement for recruiting remained, Megumin had Chomusuke topple a house of cards meticulously stacked up by the lonesome Yunyun, who proceeded to tell her about the Demon in the forest driving monsters closer to the city. They were interrupted when a drunken Dust picked a fight with Mitsurugi, something Megumin advised Yunyun to ignore lest they too get embroiled, and was accordingly stopped by Yunyun when she wanted to go watch Dust getting beaten up by Mitsurugi.[34] Spending the next several days casting Explosions at Giant Toads in the vicinity of the city gate, Megumin got lectured by the city guard over her creating craters that Kazuma and a complaining Aqua had to fill. She returned to the Guild where adventurers scrambled to tear down recruitment advertisements upon seeing her, and the interrogation of one adventurer revealed that rumours about her being a crazy Crimson Demon who recklessly casts Explosions had circulated around the city to frighten parties from letting her join. The piqued Megumin promptly chanted for an Explosion, and only through the obstructions by other adventurers as well as Luna's warning about her getting arrested for casting powerful magic within city limits were a catastrophe averted.[34] Megumin next found Yunyun being pressured into a date by the lies of a weirdo, and after scaring him off, learned to her horror about other weirdoes having approached the vulnerable loner, who had already accepted an Axis conversion form that Megumin quickly threw away on sight. She accordingly suggested to have the both of them team up for the time being, yet Yunyun unexpectedly got mad before tussling with her, resulting in both of them being kicked out of the Guild by Luna. On their way back to the inn, they were approached by Hagen who asked for help to locate the runaway heiress of the Dustiness noble household, whom Megumin visualised as a dainty damsel, though the only woman they could find with noble features was Darkness who didn't fit her mental picture.[34] Leaving Chomusuke in her inn room on the following day, Megumin accompanied Yunyun as she hunted Giant Toads on the grasslands outside the city, before proceeding with her real goal of going after the Demon in the forest by persuading Yunyun to venture inside through allures of being recruited into parties. They eventually encountered some cute Lovely Rabbits, which Megumin remembered to be dangerous monsters, as proven when they were discovered to have killed and devoured a wolf before leaping at the Crimson Demons in hopes of impaling them. Managing to escape the onslaught, Megumin as they made their way back noticed the Lovely Rabbits being driven towards them in numbers that Yunyun couldn't handle, so she cast an Explosion upon the colony at close range, which took out all the monsters but also blew them unconscious.[34] Megumin woke up to find Host asking if they had seen a big black beast, at which she disregarded the Crimson Demon style introduction he made, and instead fled in terror alongside Yunyun. Returning to the Guild at dusk all traumatised, they collected the rewards for the Giant Toads as well as reported about the Demon, then headed to the inn subsequent to Luna declaring the forest off-limits. Noticing on the way back Kazuma and an energetic Aqua finishing their work shift for the day, Megumin as she remembered Host finding her similar to somebody, discovered Chomusuke starved unto unconsciousness inside her inn room.[34] At some point during the period, she and Yunyun were exploring around the city when they heard some passersby whisper glorious praises about their tribe, and delightedly bought some magic items from a nearby stall owner who heaped more flattery upon them, only to turn aggressively violent after overhearing the stall owner and the passersby gloat over how they conspired to con the Crimson Demons into buying fake junk at high prices.[36] Megumin also wrote a letter to Komekko summarising her journey to Axel in addition to giving her sister a lot of advice.[37] When the Guild assembled a hunting squadron against Host after a week had passed, Megumin joined in because rewards can be obtained simply by participating, and successfully talked the uneasy Yunyun into tagging along. Next managing to keep her rage in check when Rex mocked the Crimson Demons as "little girls", she was grabbed from behind by Yunyun anyways, and accordingly took it out at the big breasts pressing on her back.[38] Megumin later joined Yunyun and Rex's party in the sternguard when the squadron ventured through the forest, and subsequent to exchanging barbs with Rex, ordered Yunyun to eliminate a swarm of Slimes fleeing from Host towards them, though this only made Rex respect Yunyun and not her. She and the other adventurers accordingly withdrew in a panicked retreat when the vanguard came running back bawling about Host defeating them and Mitsurugi with powers akin to the Devil King's Generals, then following Luna's report about no reinforcements arriving and the existence of a blue-haired Archpriest in the city during the after-action assembly at the Guild, Megumin decided to head back to the inn. Passing by scores of excited male adventurers running around in search of the blue-haired Archpriest said to possess the beauty of a goddess, she witnessed Aqua swindling an adventurer who made her drop her wages of more money, and judged that she couldn't possibly be that Archpriest.[38] Returning to her inn room only to find it already occupied by Cecily, Megumin after an unsuccessful attempt to leave heard how she was sent to Axel for investigations because Zesta detected their goddess begging for money from the city, before turning disgusted at Cecily crawling into her bed to sniff her sheets, but immediately changed her tune once the Priest offered to pay her with the order's money amounting to millions in exchange for finding that blue-haired Archpriest and defeating Host. With a mental image of that Archpriest being devout and saintly in mind, during their evening search Megumin dismissed Cecily's suggestions of where the clergy of the Axis Order can be found, and instead took her to a church of the Eris Order, where they didn't find the Archpriest but ended up chased off because the antagonistic Cecily kicked at the door and broke a window. Stopping Cecily from entering a bar where performers frequent despite her insisting the Archpriest to be inside, Megumin dragged her to search at an orphanage, and again crossed out Aqua who frequently ate the free meals served there. Lastly venturing into the pitch dark public cemetery in hopes that the Archpriest was placating lost souls there, she got mad at Cecily who screamed to scare her, before they were both scared off by the appearance of Wiz.[38] Megumin following a bad night's sleep woke up to have Chomusuke cozying up on her, and accordingly left the cat behind to go rendezvous with Yunyun at the Guild, then exchanged barbs with Rex who came asking for Yunyun's help to capture a Beginner's Bane that was seen in the nearby mountains for serving as a bargaining chip with Host. Tagging along while the others eliminated a tribe of Goblins to draw out the Beginner's Bane lurking about before Yunyun put it to Sleep, just as Megumin doubted if the big black beast sought by Host really was the monster they loaded into a cage, the said Demon suddenly appeared and instantly defeated Rex's party. After an unsuccessful attempt to slip away with Yunyun while Host discovered that it wasn't Wolbach in the cage, Megumin whom Host smelled the scent of his master from realised how he too was after Chomusuke. Offering to give Host another black cat only to be ignored, she was next demanded to hand over Chomusuke on the next day in exchange for the safety of the city's people. Later as she and Yunyun brought the unconscious forms of Rex and his party back, Megumin upon grasping that nobody will come to their rescue this time became determined to settle the matter herself.[38] Dropping off Rex's party at the Eris church, she bickered with Yunyun over Host's deal and her lonerness, before informing the Guild of the bleak news which sent them into despair. Unable to depend on the Guild, Megumin cited their friendship to get the agitated Yunyun into helping her defeat Host. She next headed to their inn to ask Cecily for an advance on the rewards for Host's defeat, and was promptly handed a bag that turned out to be filled with stones, driving Megumin to throw them at Cecily until she was handed 10 million eris, which was accordingly given to Yunyun for purchasing magic items useful for their upcoming battle in addition to a black stuffed toy cat.[39] After asking around the Guild for other adventurers to assist them only to be refused, Megumin warned those who regularly harassed Yunyun not to approach her again, and also heard about Darkness and Chris rushing out to fight Host. As Megumin rendezvoused with Yunyun later on, she became delighted to find a Scroll of Concealment, then tied Chomusuke onto the black stuffed toy cat to leave her scent on it, since the plan was to lure Host out with the stuffed toy while Megumin laid in ambush closeby using the Scroll of Concealment so she could destroy him through an Explosion.[39] Megumin afterwards handed Chomusuke to Cecily for safekeeping before going to bed, but soon found herself unable to sleep from the excitement while reminiscing upon all she had went through in the prior year. Suddenly detecting somebody Unlocking her room door just as she remembered missing out on her daily Explosion, Megumin feigned sleep in preparation to retaliate, only to discover that the intruder was Yunyun, who began recounting how amazing she found her courage against Host was, in addition to what she thought of her other stupid antics and incredible feats. It was however followed by an explanation of Megumin's plan being doomed to fail because the preparation of Explosion would reveal her location, subsequent to which Yunyun, having secured the assistance of Rex's party against Host, put Megumin to Sleep.[39] Jolting awake late in the following morning, Megumin hurriedly dressed and rushed out where she ran into Cecily, to whom she briefly explained the situation, and received a Blessing from her before heading to the battle location. There she approached under the cloaking from the Scroll of Concealment the spot where Yunyun was holding out against Host thanks to the support from Rex's party and the magic items, which prompted Megumin to stay hidden until the time is right for her show up.[39] Accordingly blinded by the Flash cast by Yunyun, by the time her eyesight returned, Megumin found Rex's party defeated while Yunyun Paralysed both Host and herself in a stalemate, courtesy of Yunyun drinking a potion created by Hyoizaburoo that had a weird side effect. Megumin consequently showed herself in a pompous display, and mockingly reiterated the embarrassing things Yunyun said in her room the previous night. Proceeding to vent her frustration of not having released an Explosion yesterday, Megumin in a display that stunned Rex's party obliterated the still-immobilised Host with a powerful Explosion.[39] Collapsing from exhaustion afterwards, she alongside the others were taken back to the city by Guild employees. Knowing how it was her responsibility that Host came to Axel in the first place, on the following day Megumin let Rex's party keep all the rewards from defeating Host, then alongside Yunyun bid farewell to Cecily who went adventuring to level up. She was next led outside the city gate by Yunyun, before hearing her declaration of travelling to learn Advanced Magic, so Megumin gifted Yunyun all of her money, and promised to compete with her again when she returns.[39] ADVERTISEMENT Beginner Adventurer Arc Kono Subarashii Sekai ni Shukufuku Wo - 02 - Large 10 Sitting around at the Guild with an empty stomach some days later, Megumin who still couldn't find party members began regretting giving away all of her money. Yet despite subsequently given an invitation to join in Rex's party, their intent to head for the Royal Capital prompted the low-levelled Megumin into declining. Next regretting not asking for a meal from them as they left, Megumin noticed a new recruitment advertisement from the party of Kazuma and Aqua, so without any other choice, she headed over and gave them a Crimson Demon style introduction.[40] As Aqua told the unamused Kazuma about the Crimson Demons, the starving Megumin began begging for food, before Kazuma grabbed and snapped her eyepatch onto her eye for kidding him about its sealing function. Eventually treated to a meal by Kazuma, Megumin accompanied them on continuing their quest against Giant Toads out on the grasslands. She however was perplexed when hearing about Aqua claiming to be a goddess, before casting an Explosion to obliterate a distant Giant Toad, yet could do nothing to prevent her accordingly immobilised body from being gobbled up by another Giant Toad that newly emerged.[41] Konosuba - Megumin Casting Konosuba - Megumin Collapsed While having her limp and slimy form piggybacked by Kazuma as he and Aqua took her back, Megumin explained to Kazuma how she was only capable of casting one Explosion per day. She proceeded to vehemently grab onto Kazuma once he too tried to ditch her, then upon some passersby misunderstanding him to have sexually tormented the girls with slime, loudly talked about sexual play until Kazuma hurriedly agreed to let her join his party, following which she went with Aqua to wash off at the public baths.[41] On the following day at the Guild, Megumin taught Kazuma how to learn Skills using his Adventurer Card, but became depressed when he refused to join her on the Explosive Path and called her a "loli girl". After Kazuma returned from learning Thief skills taught by Chris, like other females within earshot she became stunned when Darkness blurted out how he had stripped Chris of her panties before taking all of her money, before describing Kazuma as class changing into a pervert when he demonstrated Steal, which stripped her of her panties. She next itched for a fight against the Devil King when Kazuma described to Darkness, who wanted to join their party, his goal of defeating the strongest opponent in the world. And during the subsequent Cabbage harvest, she cast an Explosion into the middle of the swarm,[42] which Darkness managed to withstand despite being at its epicentre.[43] Some days later at Darkness' suggestion, the party took a quest for hunting a Zombie Maker at the public cemetery, but instead encountered Wiz during her ritual of sending the Ghosts of the buried dead who couldn't afford a proper burial to the afterlife, following which she reminded Kazuma who struck a deal with the Lich how powerful those "Kings of Undead" actually are.[42] Following the replacement of a high quality manatite onto her magic rod thanks to the rewards from the Cabbage harvest, Megumin had Kazuma accompany her on daily Explosion exercises well away from the city. She decided to cast her Explosions on an abandoned castle because of it being big and hard enough, thus once each day during the ensuing week, Megumin would send an Explosion at the castle before being carried back by Kazuma.[44] Episode 4 This however led to Beldia, the Devil King's General who resided in that castle, showing up at Axel's gates to rage about some idiot casting irritating Explosions every single day, at which Megumin tried deflecting the blame onto another female mage. She eventually stepped forward to own up, but refused the Dullahan's demands for her to stop the Explosions. Yet just as Megumin was about to let Aqua deal with the rest, the piqued Beldia cast a curse at her that heralds death after a week, though Darkness jumped between them to take the curse instead. Tormented by guilt following the Dullahan's departure, Megumin with Kazuma made up their mind to accept Beldia's invitation of raiding the castle and making him remove the curse, only to be dumbfounded when it was easily broken by Aqua.[44] The experience though didn't make Megumin learn her lesson, and on the contrary she asked Aqua to accompany her as she continued casting daily Explosions at the castle.[45] At some point during the period, Megumin took a job for demolishing a boulder at a nearby quarry, during which she mercilessly blew up a baby Wyvern nesting on it in hopes of earning the title "Dragon Slayer",[46] though in the end this kill didn't qualify.[47] Megumin also blew up a Roper she chanced upon on the way to her daily Explosions,[48] and tried vying for leadership of the party only to back out once she realised the liabilities which party leaders are responsible for.[49] And during the party's hunt for a golden bamboo, she found herself attacked from below by bamboo shoots.[50] (In the audio drama, it was also during this period when Megumin asked Kazuma to pretend dating her in an attempt to make a stalker thought to be fancying her give up)[51] Accompanying her party in distantly observing Aqua while she purified the riverhead lake near Axel from within a cage, during the wait before the Brutal Alligators began attacking, Megumin claimed that Crimson Demons don't need to use the toilet. As they later carted Aqua back to Axel in the cage, Megumin refused the offer from Kyouya Mitsurugi of joining his party, then despite not buying Aqua's claims of being a goddess, later informed Mitsurugi who came asking Kazuma for Gram back about how he had already let go of the cursed sword.[44] Clemea 7 Megumin's secret continuation of Explosions at the abandoned castle finally cumulated with Beldia, whose reappearance at Axel invited a response from the city's adventurers, raging all about it in front of Kazuma, who then angrily pulled at Megumin's cheeks. She was then instructed by Kazuma to cast Explosion at Beldia's army of Undead Knights once he and Aqua lured them far outside the city gates, which blew up all of the horde[45] (with Beldia also caught inside the attack in the anime, though he managed to survive)[52]. Yorimichi 1 3 Dubbed the "crazy explosion girl" by the other adventurers because of this,[45] Megumin afterwards discovered a piece of coolly-named Devil's King's Blood at some shop one day, which she wanted to get her hands on despite it already being ordered by some noble. Later witnessing Chris swiping away the cursed gem, she used the excuse of going after the Thief for shoplifting as an opportunity to covet the Devil's King's Blood, and successfully kept it despite Kazuma arriving to help Chris by making a scene about her being robbed, attracting policemen who chased the pair away.[53] ADVERTISEMENT Deep Winter Arc As the cold hard winter approached, Megumin became excited when Kazuma agreed to take a quest for hunting Snow Sprites, and later at the snowfield forest took out many of them with an Explosion. Upon the appearance of the Winter Shogun keen on avenging the Snow Sprites, she used her post-Explosion immobility to her advantage by playing dead. After the party returned to Axel following Kazuma's decapitation and Resurrection, Megumin explained to him the fearsome might of the Winter Shogun as well as the standards for which reward amounts are determined.[54] In the one-day party swap between Kazuma and Dust, Megumin first surprised their temporary member by agreeing that they go fight Dragons, then made him speechless by demonstrating her Explosion at an empty field, which ended up attracting a Beginner's Bane. Originally picked up by Dust who had prepared to flee, the immobile Megumin next found herself placed onto the ground in an angle from which she couldn't see what he was doing. After the delinquent managed to drive off the Beginner's Bane, Megumin got carried by him back to the Guild, where they waited for Kazuma's return so they could revert to their original parties.[55] After Kazuma's decision to venture into Keele's Dungeon alone, Megumin who expressed reluctance at heading inside dungeons because her Explosions would cause a cave-in simply escorted him to its entrance, where she and Darkness waited until his and Aqua's return.[56] When Kazuma and Aqua took up a request to take care of a Ghost problem at an empty mansion in place of Wiz, Megumin accompanied the party as they moved into the property. Waking up that night with a need for the toilet, possessed dolls roaming around the mansion drove her to take refuge in Aqua's empty bedroom, where she was soon joined by Kazuma. They next had to flee when the dolls crowded in from outside the window, before the pair managed to make it to the toilet, only to be forced into barricading themselves once the dolls caught up and tried breaking in the door. Although the terrified Megumin began chanting for Explosion, the ordeal was accordingly brought to an end when Aqua and Darkness took care of the Ghosts possessing the dolls.[57] KonoSuba Vol2-16 At some point during the period, Megumin at the Guild's behest tested out the sword of Shack the Ripper on the chain holding a captured Neroid and other objects with alarming adeptness, yet just as she began considering leaving the Explosive Path, her attempt at a revenge match against Giant Toads using the magical sword that cannot harm living creatures resulted in her being gobbled up and requiring Kazuma to rescue.[58] Megumin also taught Kazuma how to play the boardgame looking like chess, which she taunted him over after repeatedly flattening him at it.[59] On a rainy day when Kazuma was reluctant to bring her out for Explosions, however, Megumin hoping to force him out through winning at boardgames instead suffered repeated defeats at shogi matches, before losing her gambit on guessing the gender of their mansion's next visitor who turned out to be Chris.[60] (In the audio drama, Megumin joined her party on a simple delivery quest into the mountains, where she failed to save Kazuma from falling to his death due to a landslide, and had to apologise to the homeowner whose roof was damaged by when his body fell into it)[61] Accepting a job for polishing a crystal ball, which she upon finishing smashed into pieces in order to relieve stress before asking Kazuma to pay for the reparations, Megumin followed Aqua after she was hired by Abram to solve a Ghost problem at his mansion only to discover its identity to be his recently deceased father Pickles. In order to fulfill the wishes of Pickles so he could pass onto the afterlife, Megumin hugged a stuffed toy possessed by the Ghost who then irritated her into contemplating Explosions upon him[62] (while she dressed up as a maid in the audio drama)[63]. Following her party to a patch of forest when Darkness accepted a scouting quest on the Powerful Messenger, Megumin upon witnessing the nightmarishly disgusting visage of the earth spirit panicked, before casting an Explosion that wounded it. Later discovering Darkness being cursed into weakness by the monster, she took advantage of the situation to beat the Crusader at arm-wrestling, though the Archwizard a few days later missed the strong meatshield which usually protected her from harm as reports of the Powerful Messenger approaching the city filed in, up until the curse was eventually lifted.[64] Megumin also joined the party in accompanying Wiz on a request to eliminate Ghouls and her subsequent contest against Wolfgang over who is the "King of Undead", where the Crimson Demon jumped at Aqua's suggestion of testing whether the Lich or the Vampire could endure her Explosion, though she nevertheless relented to Kazuma's proposal of subtler competing methods, before jumping in to save Wiz from being opportunistically purified by Aqua.[65] When a quest against a White Tiger was posted, Megumin excitedly pushed her party into going, though the nimble sacred beast managed to dodge the Explosion she had panickedly cast in response to its appearance. Megumin later vied for keeping the tiger's cub, taking care of and letting it play with Chomusuke, then accompanied the party in sending it back to its mother.[66] On the night after she and Darkness spent their time on another boardgame match, Megumin enjoyed a crab pot but was forbade from drinking wine like Aqua. Later that night, she was alerted to the Loli Succubus being caught upon the magic barrier erected by Aqua around the mansion, before beating up Kazuma who had covered for the low-ranking Demon's escape.[59] When the Mobile Fortress Destroyer advanced onto Axel, Megumin initially packed up to evacuate the city and storm the Devil King's Castle, before Kazuma dragged her to the Guild meeting, where the strategy to have her and Wiz cast Explosions to immobilise the rampaging ancient weapon after Aqua breaks its magic barrier was formulated. Panicking anyways when faced with the charging Destroyer, she at Kazuma's spurring managed to blow off the legs on one side of the fortress with her Explosion, though it still proved weaker than the one cast by Wiz. Her limp form left outside while Kazuma and other adventurers stormed the Destroyer, Megumin was later recharged with Aqua's magical power through Kazuma's Drain Touch as the fortress was about to explode, before casting her second Explosion for the day to destroy the Destroyer.[67] ADVERTISEMENT Late Winter Arc With Sena coming to arrest Kazuma for treason because the Destroyer's coronatite core that Kazuma teleported away obliterated Alderp's mansion, Megumin initially defended Kazuma, only to back out after Sena threatened to charge and arrest anyone vying for Kazuma for treason. Fearing Kazuma's reprisal once he gets out, however, she agreed to Aqua's plan of distracting the guards with an Explosion outside the city walls late at night so that the Archpriest can help him escape from jail. Yet despite immediately evacuated from the scene by Darkness, Megumin was still identified to be the one responsible, with the same story repeating on the following night even though she and Darkness put on masks to hide their faces.[68] Then during the trial where Kazuma's party members acted as his defence attorneys, despite their practise mock trials gearing them up for nothing but how to shout "Objection",[69] Megumin vehemently protested the flimsy basis of Sena's claims, only to have her own past actions used by the prosecutor for proving her case against Kazuma, before the Crimson Demon proceeded to show the court what a terrorist really does upon the judge peculiarly declaring Kazuma guilty. Then after the trial was postponed thanks to Darkness,[68] she had her valued possessions at the mansion confiscated by knights as debt collateral for damages to Alderp's mansion.[70] Megumin holding Chomusuke Megumin formally introduced Chomusuke to Kazuma and Aqua the day afterwards, before panicking when contemplating about the absent Darkness enduring unspeakable ordeals. Her Explosions were subsequently accused by Sena as the reason that Giant Toads hibernating underground just outside the city began surfacing prematurely, so she along with Aqua were forced by Kazuma to go take care of them. Taking out many of the amphibians with an Explosion only to be gobbled up by a newly emerging one, the limp Megumin managed to stop herself from being swallowed through standing on her magic rod, and refused Kazuma's offers to help because it was warmer inside the Giant Toad's mouth, until her body began getting gradually swallowed anyways.[71] Saved by the returned Yunyun's Light of Saber, the Megumin whom Kazuma recharged pretended not to know her until she made a Crimson Demon style introduction. Proceeding to scare Yunyun with misleading accounts of how she vanquished Beldia and the Destroyer while also refusing a magic contest due to her magical power all spent up, Megumin suggested for them to have a combat contest, which Yunyun soon admitted defeat on once Megumin came at her all stinky and slimy, though no mercy was given as Megumin grabbed onto Yunyun to spread the slime upon her.[71] S2E02 Winning from the teary Yunyun a piece of high-quality manatite, which was then gifted to Kazuma for paying off his debts, Megumin also hugged onto Kazuma to get him all slimy once she realised that he was internally ranking Yunyun to be much better than her. Making it back to their mansion while Aqua was still out, she and Kazuma quarrelled over who gets to bathe first, before she was surprised by Kazuma nonchalantly undressing in front of her, though provocations by his taunts spurred her into bathing with him. The two of them accordingly discussed Yunyun while in the bathtub, before Kazuma panicked at Aqua's return and expended all his magical power to Freeze the bathroom door shut. Next realising how Kazuma was afraid of being called a lolicon if somebody saw him bathing with her, the piqued Megumin began attacking Kazuma, who lay helplessly limp on the floor, until Aqua stepped in to save him.[71] When wandering around the city on the following day, Megumin noticed a stall where the owner offered a monetary prize for anybody who can break a lump of adamantite, so she confidently strode in to challenge, only for the nearby Kazuma and other adventurers to prevent her from casting Explosion until the stall owner fled. With Yunyun trailing behind the two of them as they strolled around, she accepted another contest that Yunyun proposed to be about adult development. Megumin next bragged over how much more adult she had become ever since bathing with Kazuma, and after driving the shocked Yunyun away in tears again, went on to triumphantly note down another victory in her notebook.[71] Episode OVA (In the anime, Megumin accompanied Kazuma to Wiz's Shop after Yunyun's return, where she discovered the loner constantly laying in wait in hopes of running into her "by coincidence". Accepting Yunyun's proposal of using a Friendship Crystal to make them friendlier, she discovered to her horror that the magic item actually showed images of all their past embarrassing moments, prompting her to frantically break the crystal, which she then had Wiz charge Yunyun for, before beating the loner in adultness)[5] Following a few days of worrying about Darkness who had not come back (a period in the anime when Megumin escorted Kazuma and Aqua to Keele's Dungeon, before she stayed outside the entrance practising her Explosion poses with Chomusuke)[72], Megumin became speechless upon Aqua tearfully accusing Kazuma of Stealing her clothes for debt repayment. Then as Darkness returned to explain how she was the heiress of the Dustiness household and wanted them to help her ruin an arranged marriage, Megumin went out for a meeting with Yunyun in hopes of helping Kazuma prove his innocence[73] (while in the anime she was instructed to accompany Sena for investigating some peculiar self-destructing monsters)[74]. Megumin later returned as Sena came to outright accuse Kazuma for the Vanir Dolls emerging from Keele's Dungeon, and consequently accompanied Kazuma to the dungeon's entrance where she stayed outside with Aqua in addition to Sena and her hired adventurers. She soon became dazzled by the cool-looking mask of Vanir stuck onto the face of Darkness whom he possessed, before casting an Explosion at her under the Crusader's own suggestion to vanquish the Duke of Hell.[75] A week following Aqua fully healing Darkness when the party found her still alive, (a possible time interval for Kazuma to have put on a wish-granting choker from Wiz's Shop that slowly chokes him to death unless his wish is granted, and forced Megumin to compete in strip rock-paper-scissors against Yunyun as well as other debasing things he requested, only to kill him after being enraged by his confession)[76], Megumin pacified Chomusuke whom Kazuma and Aqua had a quarrel over, before the party was declared by Sena to be free of treason charges and debt as well as receive a huge reward for their exploits.[77] KonoSuba Vol3-9 At some point during the period, Megumin was visited by the famous artist Gilbert, who commissioned her to let him witness an Explosion for inspiring his creativity, so subsequent to touring a number of locations around town that Kazuma deemed as untargetable, she ended up obliterating a mansion ordered to be demolished by its noble owner.[78] And when Kazuma reported experiencing serious stomach pains after Megumin returned from a girls meeting, she spooked his fears of being infested by a parasitic monster as payback for eating all by himself some delicious vegetables he had won, then later restrained a panicked Kazuma as he tried to flee from the hospital.[79] (In the audio drama, it was also during this period when Megumin went to help Wiz with the quest against Ghouls)[80] One day while Megumin was staying in the warm mansion with her party, a policeman came with a warrant for her arrest on suspicion that she was involved with repeated explosions around Axel, so she promptly threw the warrant into the fireplace. Next infuriated when even her party members believed in her guilt, Megumin agreed on heading to the police station for interrogation, where as she expected the magic bell there capable of detecting lies proved her claims of innocence. Returning to the mansion alongside the apologetic Lolierina, she next became cross at the way her party members changed their tune, and got further riled up when Lolierina couldn't come up with other suspects. Finally deciding to solve the case herself upon hearing Aqua suggest the culprit to be a stronger wielder of Explosion, Megumin took Kazuma and Lolierina to the Guild for clues, but instead became enraged because Luna immediately pointed fingers at her once hearing about the case. At Kazuma wondering if the culprit's goal was to frame Megumin, she began accusing random adventurers and pointing out anybody having a grudge against her because of her own misdeeds as possible suspects, though this instead led to Kazuma suggesting for her arrest.[81] Yorimichi 1 7 Megumin thus took them to the library for accusing the solitary Yunyun, and managed to convince Lolierina into taking Yunyun back for questioning, yet the ensuing proving of Yunyun's innocence prompted the deputy police chief into slapping an Explosion ban on Megumin just in case. An emergency quest against a sloth of One-Punch Bears appearing near the city, however, gave Megumin the chance to blackmail Lolierina, since the other adventurers were depending on her Explosion. With the ban lifted, she proceeded to take out all of the monsters in one blow, before indicating the resulting crater to be much larger than the other explosions. Yet just as Kazuma and Lolierina became certain of her innocence, Darkness with her house guards (or Chris in the audio drama)[82] came to explain how the other explosions were caused when Mine Mushrooms growing around the countryside detonated in reaction to Megumin's Explosions, so Megumin ended up throwing a tantrum while Kazuma admonished and Lolierina arrested her.[81] ADVERTISEMENT Early Spring Arc As spring approached, Megumin with Darkness tried to drag Kazuma out of the warm kotatsu he shut himself into and set Aqua a bad example, before Kazuma agreed to take a quest against Lizard Runners. Megumin later followed him to a blacksmith for picking up his custom-made sword, which she without Kazuma's permission branded the name "Chunchunmaru" on, claiming that it sounded cool. Then when the quest began to go wrong because the Lizard Runners prematurely charged towards the party, Megumin tried casting Explosion at them, only to discover that she was unable to since she had been Drain Touched earlier on. Following Kazuma's death from falling and his refusal to come back to life even with Aqua Resurrecting him, the impatient Megumin managed to force him into returning by graffiting onto his crotch the words "Holy Sword Excalibur" with an arrow pointing downwards, much to the shock of the other girls. With him initially none the wiser to what she specifically did, she decided to go report the success of their quest before staying at the inn Yunyun was residing at for a couple of days instead of returning to the mansion, where Kazuma would inevitably come after her in fury once he discovered what she had done.[83] Megumin returned to the mansion when she reckoned that Kazuma should have calmed down, only to see him acting all weird by behaving and speaking like an affluent entrepreneur, something which freaked Megumin out despite him having forgiven her. Accordingly told by Darkness how Vanir had offered to pay Kazuma 30 million eris in exchange for the ideas of all the products he had designed, Megumin became further aghast when Kazuma and Aqua refused to take quests and suggested hiring adventurers to assassinate the Devil King instead. Unable to depend on Aqua or Darkness to save Kazuma from trashiness, at him citing his neck injury as an excuse to rest, Megumin suggested him to go on a healing vacation to the hot springs at Arcanletia,[84] hoping to cure him of laziness by making him fight some Undead attracted by Aqua.[85] With Kazuma and Aqua unexpectedly concurring in excitement, Megumin, having already experienced the perils along the way over there, also suggested that they take the fanaticizing Darkness along.[84] When the party set out the next day on their vacation to Arcanletia along with Wiz whom Kazuma had brought along, the Crimson Demon was enamoured to discover a pet baby Red Dragon also being transported in the carriage they traveled in. During the attack by Running Hawkites, which chased after the party's carriage that Kazuma directed towards a nearby cave, Megumin waited until all of the charging monsters jumped over the Darkness dumped at the cave mouth and disappeared inside, before wiping out the whole flock with an Explosion.[84] After the caravan set out the following morning, with the permission of its master who was impressed by the party's exploits, Megumin named the baby Dragon Jarippa,[85] and during the rest of the trip questioned Kazuma's staring at Wiz as well as came up with games to pass the time with.[86] Finally setting foot at Arcanletia again, Megumin forlornly bid farewell to Jarippa, before finding crowds of Axis followers trying to convert their party. When Aqua next proclaimed heading for the Axis Order's main cathedral, the concerned Megumin volunteered to accompany her, only to be hounded all the way by Axis followers enacting crazily enhanced versions of the conversion tactics she had previously taught Zesta, so by the time the pair reached their destination to discover the pontiff absent, Megumin was left a traumatised wreck who shivered and babbled by the corner, until Kazuma and Darkness later collected her back to their inn.[85]
