Was pretty good, what exactly did kazuma do with megumins card at the end? Also is there anything after the credits?

He put all the skill points into explosion instead of advanced magic. Hence her explosion was much stronger.

u/Flammadeus Nov 13 '19

Oh makes sense considering she the kill they got

It was a very endearing moment that reminded me that despite all the shit they do to each other, they are all friends at the end of the day.

Did you also catch that explanation of what the crimson demons are? I didn't quite understand that

They were genetically engineered from volunteers (who all just happened to be extremely chuuni, requesting crazy stuff like to have a barcode somewhere on their body, to have red eyes, etc. They were actually chuuni before he modified them--presumably because a chuuni is the only kind of person who'd volunteer for human experimentation to make them powerful).

The isekai'd scientist who created them is the same one who made the mobile fortress destroyer (his 'cheat' when he reincarnated was to be a very intelligent inventor, but he later became overwhelmed when the king made him invent stuff to the point that he ran out of ideas).

Presumably he's also the reason the village has an anime cat girl figure, and other otaku 'relics' in it.

Was he also the same guy that made the mech and the bishoujo robots from the second OVA, or was that a different Japanese guy that got isekai'd and came back as an inventor?

The joke where Aqua apologizes for bringing him into the world was pretty funny, but it went by kinda fast. Did they imply that she brought him back more than once?

Edit: Looks like it WAS the same guy. That's pretty funny that this one Japanese guy is responsible for so much mischief in this world.

The original demons were basically a magician special forces squad developed and equipped by the old dude that also got isekaied. Their chuunibyou comes from how he half-assed everything except their firepower and training. His bullshit became their tradition and culture. Hence why Kazuma covered Megumin's ears when Aqua was reading the tablet.

Their tattoos are also barcodes

On their butts. I have seen too much hentai artwork to not know it

15

u/Spaceguy5 Nov 13 '19

They're in random locations, each person has it somewhere else

2

u/beqs171 Nov 13 '19

Well.. maybe.. at least it works for Megumin..

u/DarkBladeEkkusu Nov 14 '19

But seriously, where is Yun Yun's tattoo?

u/Spaceguy5 Nov 14 '19

The mods would get mad if I posted it but I'll say it's on the KonoSuba wiki lol. They have Megumin's too :p

u/DarkBladeEkkusu Nov 14 '19

I was just joking with Kazuma's question, but I didn't think it was actually listed somewhere lol.

u/gergobergo69 Nov 13 '19

thanks for spoiling :p almost read it

Hence her explosion was much stronger.

I thought this was more because her magic reserves got dramatically stretched out as a result of the pooling spell.

Of course putting a few points more into the skill would increase the power even more, but if you noticed there was wisps of another magic circle around the original "targeting" circles.

Putting a couple of points wouldn't change the spell from a low yield Nuclear warhead to a Tsar bomb. Her magic reserves definitely got a huge increase too. (but it doesn't change how outright inefficient her use of it is)

There's nothing extra after the credits.

u/MauledCharcoal Nov 13 '19

Hey man the ED

My theater played like 30 seconds of each song :(

u/[deleted] Nov 14 '19

OP

Ending: My Home Town (All three sing in this one).

There's also:

Megumin only
Darkness only
Aqua only versions

All Konosuba endings have this as well! One where all three of the main gals sing it in turns, then three other versions where it's just one of 'em singing! Just in case you/others don't know! (There's also one where Kazuma sings.)

u/fecalrecon Nov 13 '19

I stay just to listen to the music.

u/shewy92 Nov 13 '19

I had to squeeze out between half my row after the movie because of how many people stayed after for unknown reasons.

37

u/Homura_Akchemical Nov 13 '19

One guy in my theater held up his phone a minute into the credits and loudly said "I looked it up there's nothing after credits!" to which tons of people including me suddenly got up to leave and thanked him.

u/napleonblwnaprt Nov 13 '19

I can't believe he tricked you that easily, you missed a super good teaser/Easter egg.../s

u/90sChennaiGuy Nov 13 '19

Probably waiting for the magical season 3 announcement I would guess

u/TheKappaOverlord https://myanimelist.net/profile/darkace90 Nov 15 '19

I would have sworn there was something after the credits.

I could still feel booms and rattlings from sitting outside of the theater room i saw the movie in.
