That was great, but for me, the best moment was the flashback to Komekko immediately befriending the monster commander Hoost. That was just brilliant, and it makes me think Komekko might become a very powerful summoner when she's older.

I thought they were gonna ruin the moment by putting some kind of Konosuba-like twist in it like it just being a tiny little flare instead of an explosion or sth, but they actually went ahead and absolutely delivered pure satisfaction here. I forgot how epic this story can get when it actually tries
That's the flaw of Konosuba, sometimes they go the marvel route of ruining an epic moment with a quip or an anticlimactic sequence, just let the epic moment be epic.
You know what I love about this? We saw in the scene right before this one the price of Megumin's Explosion magic on her card, it was 50 points; that puts into perspective just how ridiculously expensive Aqua's Nature Beauty was at the beginning of the series. xD
@@matthewmuir8884 Yeah, but my point was that Explosion keeps getting brought up as "that kind of magic you'll spend all your points on for decades before acquiring", yet Aqua spent a tenth of that on something useless. If 50 is basically a lifetime's worth of points for a normal adventurer, then the idea of spending 5 on Nature's Beauty is utterly insane; what I tried to say was that this puts into perspective just how valuable one of those skill point actually is, and how difficult they'd be to acquire barring crimson demon XP potion shenanigans or Goddess hacks. 🙂
Watching this in the full episode, I knew Crunchy Roll would title this clip “Megumin’s First Explosion”. And man it sounded so epic and wholesome hearing my voice say that title….
That's more cus the explosion occurs in the air instead of the target being on the ground, it does change the scope and damage range of explosions, so that's also a neat attention to detail
It's said later that ( somewhere along the way) she learn to control the output of the explosion to some degree... So considering it's her first one most likely she couldn't control it's output and it was full blast...
This show gets everything right. I really hope the main story gets completed to its written end, otherwise I'm going to be forced to read a light novel. At first I wasn't sure about them working on a prequel series rather than continuing on, but so far I'm thrilled, and the references to the original series make for hilarious moments. Megumin and her explosion magic are definitely worth every penny of production value.
Oh you should still read the LNs. Theyre very well written, and some of the best reading Ive ever done. Specially for LNs. This and JObless. Almost perfect stuff.
@@PiracyMan You're wrong in my opinion. I didn't think the outros were anything special when I first watched konosuba, but then I went and finished the light novels. The outros are really good at evoking the feeling of nostalgia, like a "Our adventure is now over, but remember when this happened?" kind of feeling, and after you've flipped the last page of the book, you realize that the adventure is truly over.
And this is why Kazuma didn't take Explosion magic from her in the end: Because despite the fact that it makes her a fairly useless mage, its her dream and one that she's worked her entire existence towards.
@@shawermus in the light novel she explains she puts her points on boosting the explosion power, as she level ups her mana grows but upgrading her explosion spell demands more mana so that is why she still faceplant

I wish to see her showdown with her rolemodel animated. Kinda sad moment but very impactful. “The explosion magic that you taught me has already reached the stage where I can control it without chanting aloud. My explosion magic is stronger than anyone else’s.” “‘Explosion’---!!”

After all these years, she's yet to put any of those extra skill points she's been saving into increasing her mana pool or decreasing the spell cost so she doesn't pass out afterward. She just wants to save up until she can get the Amplify Explosion Magic skill.
This is the beginning, the beginning of a new journey, the journey of the foremost prodigy amongst the crimson demons, and her name is, WAGANAWA MEGUMIN.

This scene brought back the konosuba battle energy that we got in all of the seasons and the movies, it was perfect.
Megumin having the Explogasm at 2:00 is the icing on top
Someone just had to make it weird huh
What an epic scene that totally delivered. Made me shed a tear!

the explosion theme playing is so chef's kiss

@@doublehit9165 i need to start reading the novels :ss
Michael Bay wishes he could make an explosion look this good.
It’s a miracle that Megumin didn’t go deaf when the explosion went off, same goes for komikko and yunyun 😅
Considering that Crimson Demons using high-tier magic on daily basis I think they got used to this kind of noises
Yunyun and Megumin's power-up rival most shonen anime. Explosion spell animation looks really amazing!
So beautiful! So epic! Dang it! Now i want another season of Konosuba!
This gives me chills
Every time she uses explosions
I was honestly expecting her first Explosion to happened at the season end
sound guy went hard
I legit just finished watching the main series, and seeing Megumin’s first explosion was just AMAZING!!
Love it when Megumin said "It's Xplodin Time!" And Exploded all iver the monsters!
Pause 👀
By far the best scene in Oppenheimer
The moment we have all been waiting for!
The sound design is just 👌
I like how her theme music slowly starts up to what it becomes later on!
You never forget your First Explosion
Someone give the sound guy a raise. Also, I think it would have been cool to have the sound people from Fireforce try this scene for themselves, lol.
Oppenheimer would be proud of his lost daughter.
This had about as much emotional and psychological effect on me as the lovey dovey one and the light of explosion one from the konosuba movie
You know you're fast when mustache man isn't here
This implies that Megumin repeat that incantation to herself countless times when she things nobody is around.
...
Well I do that too XD
Beautiful....simple...yet so beautiful
Its looks like meteor falling down at 1:53
