When Kazuma realized Megumin's family was so poor they didn't often get a lot of good food, he just gave over all their food supplies in addition to his gift. Good man.
Not only Kazuma was scarred, Darkness was scarred too - the fact that there are no male orcs left made her realize that one of her life dreams (to be ravished by vicious orcs) now never will come true.
Glad you liked the movie! It is great. It is actually canon to the main series, being that it's Volume 5 of the Light Novel, while seasons one and two are Volumes 1-4. A few events were taken out, probably to save time. But Season 3 will be wild for sure.
The last third was pretty non-canon. The anime RUINED the entire point of this arc. Komekko kill stealing and Yunyun's spotlight was a pivotal character moment for Megumin. She was supposed to feel like her dedication to explosion magic was hindering Kazuma and the team. That's WHY at the end, she decided to give it up. Kazuma making her explosions stronger instead of giving her regular magic showed her that Kazuma treasured her dream. That's the moment she fell completely in love with him. This makes NO sense if she was able to cast her most powerful explosion so far in the Sylvia fight. But the movie went that way anyway.
@@LARVideos Final attack of the Movie. The final attack went right through and killed him. It was half Megumin Explosion. So yes, it did. At least in the anime canon.
So, something cut from the Light Novel for just after the section while Megumin was showing them around. If I recall right, there is a hill that is near the village, with a telescope on it. This telescope is pointed DIRECTLY at the bedroom of the Devil King's daughter, and is probably the reason he has his forces attack the Crimson Demons. They had a small picnic on it.
the moment at the end is part of why Konosuba is so good. It's a comedy and parodies classic isekai tropes but it also knows when to give a moment of sincerity without undercutting it with a joke. Kazuma powering up Megumin's explosion is one of them
Though it's heavily undermined by the non-canon stuff that happens in the last third of the fight. The anime doing that RUINED the entire point of this arc. Komekko kill stealing and Yunyun's spotlight was a pivotal character moment for Megumin. She was supposed to feel like her dedication to explosion magic was hindering Kazuma and the team. That's WHY at the end, she decided to give it up. Kazuma making her explosions stronger instead of giving her regular magic showed her that Kazuma treasured her dream. That's the moment she fell completely in love with him. This makes NO sense if she was able to cast her most powerful explosion so far in the Sylvia fight. But the movie went that way anyway.
As usual, when you get down to it it's Aqua's fault. We almost got you to the oxygen tank stage, now you need the Megumin prequel series to discover Megumin's dark secret.
So, you have seen the power of more traditional Crimson Demons. What do you think? (Talking about their 'Light Show' when the group was talking with Yunyun's dad.)
lol it was epic. Though they maked Vanir so weak, by power level he is stronger then Demon king, and can easyly destroy Sylivia with his death ray from eyes, though it wouldnt be so fun if he did.
Because he's not even supposed to be in this fight. They just pointlessly added him in the movie when he wasn't there in the novel. Wiz too. And the entire last part of the fight. It's just animated fanfiction.
Rodriguez...You realize about Kazuma want to see Yunyun's tattoo mark,right?.....I don't know where Yunyun marking at...but As for Megumin,Darkness already saw it way back during hot spring.
Also, as a light novel snob I got to point out that the final battle after Komekko steal-kills Sylvia is anime original, not to hate on it, but I'd say the original flows a bit better.
Not only flows a bit better, but the anime doing that RUINED the entire point of this arc. Komekko kill stealing and Yunyun's spotlight was a pivotal character moment for Megumin. She was supposed to feel like her dedication to explosion magic was hindering Kazuma and the team. That's WHY at the end, she decided to give it up.

This makes NO sense if she was able to cast her most powerful explosion so far in the Sylvia fight. But the movie went that way anyway. Man... it gets me so mad.
List of biggest annoyances/differences compared to the novel in the Konosuba movie. 1. Kazuma wouldn't rate Megumin's explosions so low like he did multiple times in the film. Kazuma if you recall, learned to appreciate them in season 1 and Megumin highly values Kazuma's ratings. If he gives her a high score, it makes her really happy. 2. The conversation that they have with Yunyun is supposed to happen right when they come back from the hot springs, and that's where season 2 should have ended. With Yunyun asking Kazuma to have her baby and the Axis cult realizing who Aqua is. So the conversation starts and ends in the mansion. 3. The movie skipped most of the adventure to the crimson demon village including meeting a sentient plant that kills adventurers similar in concept to a Venus fly trap. It kills them by making them feel sorry for it and staying with it forever till they die at her side. She looks like a cute girl. The party comes across it and are initially tricked by its charms. The plant manages to convince them that it's an innocent existence, so they decide to not kill it. They manage to tear themselves away, but Kazuma goes back because he gets worried about Yunyun coming across it due to her personality being more unacceptable to something saying it feels lonely. Upon coming across it, still hidden, he listens to the plant curse and complain that it wasn't able to trap Kazuma's party, very different from the persona that it showed to them. Proving that it's just a monster that wants to eat people. He confronts it and it tries to convince him with more material things now that the cat is out of the bag. Kazuma returns to the his party with a level up. 4. The movie skips the set up of the confrontation with the orcs. Initially Kazuma saw them from a distance and thought they were male. Judging by his knowledge of typical orc lore, he tells the girls he'll protect them no matter what happens knowing the kinds of things they're known to do in fiction. When he gets close, that's when the confrontation goes south. It goes similar to the movie after that. 5. When they get close to the crimson demon village, Megumin doesn't use explosion on the demons, and Kazuma isn't dumb enough to give their location away like that. Everyone is quite a bit dumber in the movie for some reason. The crimson demons show up and save them, and that goes similarly. Also, do note that nobody but Yunyun knows that Megumin does explosion. That's important for what comes later. 6. I only really realized on this second viewing, but I'm surprised that the crimson demon village has an alert that sounds exactly like the one in Axel. lol 7. Kazuma saying that those are "real" crimson demons is a bit strange considering that Megumin is was considered one of the top geniuses of the village, and her personality is pretty in line with a typical crimson demon. Yunyun is the one that has always been odd compared to everyone else, so she's the one that didn't quite fit in. But I guess he could have been talking about the variety of magic. 8. Movie skipped quite a bit of Kazumin scenes in this, so that's extremely disappointing since this is pretty much the starting off point for some wonderful things. 9. The movie skipped a lot of the introduction to characters and town during some outings, so Kazuma's impression at how impressive the crimson demon's application of OP magic to improve daily life was left out. 10. The designs of most of the crimson demons that didn't already have a design in the novels are pretty awful. It's like they missed the point of the crimson demons. They are all about being cool. But all of the anime original crimson demons just look... like that wasn't what they were going for. 11. The meeting with her old classmates went quite differently. Also, the design of the classmates is atrocious compared to the novels. Like.. god damn, I don't know what's wrong with the the designs in this movie. They all have bodies that belong to menopausal overweight women. They are the same age as Megumin and Yunyun. 12. Sylvia looks manlier in the anime, but in this case, I actually think that's a good thing. It fits her character much more. lol 13. Vanir and Wiz are in the town for no reason at all. I have no idea why they decided to add them to this. It makes no sense at all. 14. The reveal that the destroyer guy was a reincarnated person was supposed to be here, but the OVA spoils it. Not to mention, this is when aqua was supposed to reveal that the diary in the destroyer's main chamber was written in Japanese as well. Also, his OP ability is to make magic tools or something. Actually, if I remember correctly, the tool you see right in the beginning of the first season that scans Kazuma's stats and creates the adventurer's card was made by him too. 15. Despite how amazing it showed the crimson demons in the beginning when it comes to combat, when the fight with Sylvia starts it turns them utterly useless by making it so they can't use spells. In the novel, it was the opposite. They distracted Sylvia most of the time while the party was searching for the magic rail gun. The crimson demons actually have some really clever and effective ways to fight and even with Sylvia being as powerful as she is, she has an extremely difficult time dealing with the crimson demons as they attack her with magic, and teleport away. Alternating so there's always someone, somewhere attacking her while the others recharge. I HATE that they made the crimson demons useless during the fight. 16. This is one of the things that bugs me the most. Literally everything after the railgun is fired is basically non-canon and anime original. And the worst part is that undermines and changes the meaning of many important things that will come later, and are shown later. After Kommeko fires the gun, that's where the fight was supposed to end. Everything else is nonsensical and additional. It actually makes so little sense, it hurts. Especially since Konosuba is so good at having events make sense. There's no reason for Verdia, Hans, Vanir, or Wiz to be there. God, extending that fight is so dumb. Where the heck did they even come from? How? If Wiz decided to come, why did Vanir? And vice versa. Why would they even leave the shop? Not to mention, The thing with Kazuma enchanting Sylvia is also so freaking dumb. Why would Sylvia fall in love because of the things Kazuma says? It makes Sylvia seem incredibly dumb, and easily swayed. She's a demon king general for Christ's sake. How is Kazuma even able say the things he says? He's not even a smooth guy whatsoever. None of this makes sense at all. It also ruins the running gag in the series where Darkness is the most useless in the group with the pointless Vanir taking control of her body. Darkness isn't really supposed to do anything. Like usual. Also, like usual, the series adds yet another non-canon death. Since the fight originally ends with Komekko killing Sylvia, he doesn't die in this battle. 17. Having Megumin actually set off an explosion is one of the dumbest additions to the movie possible because it undermines the character growth and the advancement of the relationship between Kazuma and Megumin. After Komekko kills Sylvia with Megumin's explosion being useless, she starts to question whether it's even worth to have explosion Magic. Especially when the other crimson demons find out that she knows explosion. She goes from being the prided genius of the crimson demons to a disappointment. What makes it worse for her is that While that happened to her, the opposite happens to Yunyun. She gets famous among the other crimson demons for being able to make such a great entrance during the battle. Megumin's self esteem is at an all time low, and she resolves herself to give up her way of life because of it. In the movie, her setting off the biggest explosion in the series so far completely invalidates that decision and makes it seem like it's almost like a whim. Why would she feel useless when her explosion ended up being the thing that saved the day? It doesn't make any sense. It's the reason that her decision to give Kazuma the card so he could make the option for her is such an important and meaningful thing in the novels. Her feeling of uselessness and her increasing desire to help Kazuma influences this extremely. She's literally entrusting the rest of her life to him. When he decides to make her explosion stronger, and she unleashes it, he gives it a high score. Which like I mentioned in the beginning of this list, Megumin values incredibly highly. He makes her so incredibly happy right there, that Megumin is pretty much officially smitten. The movie subtly hints it with the explosion being in a heart shape, but it chooses all the wrong times to be subtle, and doing the opposite when it shouldn't. Ruins one of the best and most emotional moments in the series.
Spoilers kazuma and Megumine in the later novels are a couple there was actually a a scene in the novel that was cut from the movie where Megumine outright told Kazuma that she was in love with him I don’t remember what Kazuma was thinking but I think he didn’t take the confession seriously
When Kazuma realized Megumin's family was so poor they didn't often get a lot of good food, he just gave over all their food supplies in addition to his gift. Good man.
How peculiar, suddently Kazuma has no problem remembering Mitsurugi's name when he's metaphorically throwing him under the bus.
Not only Kazuma was scarred, Darkness was scarred too - the fact that there are no male orcs left made her realize that one of her life dreams (to be ravished by vicious orcs) now never will come true.
Also, that 'Final' Explosion was nuts, as most explosions are, when it comes to animation.

@LARVideos While that's all true, i don't think she has ever killed Kazuma with Explosion before this point.
@@HexanTronic She's never done that, period. I'm sure that would devastate her.

This detail is crazy 😂
@@gatokawaii3996 Oh I know it is.
You might have missed them, but at the end of some of season 2's episodes, you'll sometimes see the letters Megumin sends her parents.
I'd like to remind you that Megumin and Kazuma are 2 years apart, 3 at most. So a relationship between them would probably be feaseable.
the moment at the end is part of why Konosuba is so good. It's a comedy and parodies classic isekai tropes but it also knows when to give a moment of sincerity without undercutting it with a joke. Kazuma powering up Megumin's explosion is one of them

Kazuma was so shocked at the idea that his possible son would be the one to defeat the Devil King. Even if it wasn't true.
Low-key I kind of feel bad for Sylvia she just wanted love 😂
True 😭🤣🤣
The movie made Sylvia incredibly stupid by the end.. It really annoys me. Wish they'd stuck to how the novels did it.
@@LARVideos,
How did the novels do it?
An upload on your off schedule day is crazy!
So, you have seen the power of more traditional Crimson Demons. What do you think? (Talking about their 'Light Show' when the group was talking with Yunyun's dad.)
God's I love this series so hope to see more in the future.

her potential is high as fukkk 😭🙏

I love this movie plus this is cannon.. after this i think it is the princess arc and darkness arc ❤
Well.. a lot of it is canon. But the last part of the fight and a lot of the details in the fight are really, really non canon.

Or maybe he will go the harem route

This movie was supposed to solidify that much more clearly, but all the changes to the source material made it way worse at telling this story.
Should have watched the dub.
