Oh Wiz, that lovable poor shop owner in Axel city. She's so poor that she
often survives on sugar and water alone for weeks. You first met Wiz near the end
of KonoSuba season 1 through flashback. She used to be this powerful Arch Wizard
in the past specializing in ice magic, but now she lives peacefully as an
undead lich. Height-wise no official measurements have been given out but she
looks to be an inch taller than Darkness by comparison. Physically Wiz is twenty
years old although her actual age is unknown. Wiz will remain twenty years
old forever and this is due to her becoming a lich when she was twenty. Poor
Wiz doesn't seem to have too many fans. She came in number seven for the
KonoSuba character popularity contest. She may not be too popular just due to
her lack of screen time. What do you think about Wiz? Does she make it into
your top three KonoSuba characters?
For fans of this lich, you first get to meet her in episode 8 of season 1.
Unfortunately they abridged the whole introduction for Wiz. Kazuma and his party
originally met up with Wiz in the cemetery. By the way Aqua almost
immediately killed her. In case you were curious about this the KonSuba manga
does show with adventure that takes place after the cabbage quest. What's
more interesting is that the entire quest was actually released later as a CD
drama for KonoSuba. The whole thing is almost 15 minutes long. Perhaps they
originally intended to include this in the anime but for whatever reason they
cut it out at the last moment. The voice actors behind Wiz is Yui Horie. Here's
a couple of roles that you may know including one from Re:Zero.
Tsubasa from the Monogatari series. Kisara from Black Bullet. Salamandinay
from Cross Ange. The white pussy from Fairy Tale. Tooru from Fruitbasket.
Anna from K. Yuu from Is this a zombie? of the dead. Naru from Love Hina,
surprise surprise. Makie from Negima, both of the series. Chie from the
Persona 4 anime. Felix the cat from Re Zero. Minori from Toradora.
Yuuki from Vampire Knight, and here's one final one from a game. Hitomi from Dead or
Alive. KonoSuba season two unfortunately ended up cutting another scene about
Wiz. Someone over there at the studio must not like her very much! This one
took place after Wiz met up with Kazuma and Megumin. Megumin as always wanted to
set of an explosion for the day so both of them went with her outside of town.
After Miss Explosion let one rip the blast attracted a rookie killer. This
thing is basically a giant black saber-toothed tiger. The giant cat
quickly pounced on to Wiz but she didn't even flinch. It's huge cost had absolutely
no effect on her since liches are immune to physical attacks. The party saw
a black cat foaming at the mouth and collapsing. Kazuma only looked at Wiz in
astonishment.
So about Aqua interesting relationship with Wiz. They've always had this
interesting dynamic ever since Aqua first try to one punch her. Despite hating the
undead Aqua like hanging out at Wiz's shop whenever she's not vegging
out at the mansion. She actually used to come daily just to purify things in her
shop, which basically made everything into time bombs. Eventually Aqua settled
for coming over only demanding Wiz to make her some tea.
It actually doesn't matter whether Wiz is at her shop or not. Aqua finds her
way inside and makes her own to tea if Wiz happens to be gone.
Unfortunately Wiz puts up with all her crap including taking care of her dragon.
Yeah dragon. Before meeting with Kazuma's party
Wiz actually had a connection to Megumin from long ago. She often used to take
trips to the Crimson Magic Clan to restock her shop.
Strangely enough she was always interested in magic items sold by
Megumin's father. Of course since it's Wiz, she made the
mistake of buying defective magic items from them. Part of the reason that Megumin
and her family had trouble putting food on the table was because her father only
produced these flawed items that no one would buy. So thankfully because of Wiz
in a strange way Megumin and her family were able to get some funds for food.
Let's go ahead and turn back the clock and look at Wiz back when she was still
alive. Check Wiz out! Doesn't she look so lively? Back then
Wiz used to be this Arch Wizard class with an outgoing personality. She was
known as a very powerful militant known as the ice witch. She was so well known that
the demon king himself even knew her name personally and even put out a
bounty for her head. Which by the way Aqua wanted to know if this bounty was
still valid. Together Wiz was in a party with a sword master named Brad and
an Arch Priest named Rosary. It's fair to say that Wiz was a completely different
person in the past. This all changed not too long after meeting Vanir.
As for how Wiz first met Vanir, it all began when her party decided to take
this super difficult quest. It took them seven days just to reach the boss room.
Wiz and her party were surprised by the troll king Vanir after he popped out of
this treasure chest in this master dungeon. Vanir was too great of a troll
and he could afford to be with the world of difference between their power levels.
It's funny because Vanir managed to piss off Wiz so much. Her party kept
coming back week after week after week. At one point Wiz brought this powerful
barrier item that she spent half her savings on. It was this ultra item from
the Crimson magic clan. The barrier worked so well that Vanir was unable to
escape or attack anyone. The only problem was that the people outside couldn't
attack him either! Worst of all for Wiz the barrier was supposed to last one
whole month. A super pissed off Wiz had no choice but to wait it out. In the
meantime her party went on to challenge a different demon general while they
waited. In the background Vanir smiled as he saw Wiz walk away.
Poor Wiz! You might be wondering how did Wiz become a lich in the first place?
You'd be right in thinking it involves Vanir! After one month of peace and
quiet, Wiz returned. This time she was solo. Wiz immediately took out this
forbidden crystal item and went on a rampage against Vanir. A huge battle
took place. It was the first time that Vanir was pushed to such an extent in
hundreds of years. Unfortunately in the end, Wiz only almost killed him. She was lying
there on the ground after the battle. She then pulled out this contract in front
of Vanir and made a request. During that one month period her party had fought
against a certain headless Demon General. The General was almost defeated
but in his final moments he decided to curse everyone around him. The entire
raid party would die after one month including Wiz's party members. Wiz had
come to fight against Vanir in hopes of demonstrating her power, and then she
hoped to offer her own soul in exchange for the curse to be nullified. After all,
this was something within Vanir's power to do. Unfortunately Wiz had barely any
life left. That forbidden crystal had given her a huge boost in magic but it
was an exchange for most of her remaining lifespan. Her soul was no
longer enough to pay the cost of what she was asking for.
However, Vanir informed her of a different option. In exchange for helping
him realize his greatest dream, Vanir would teach her of forbidden technique. A
lifelong promise was made on that day between Wiz and Vanir. So how powerful
is Wiz really? That is after becoming a lich. While she was still alive and using
that forbidden crystal Wiz was almost able to destroy one of Vanir's life.
Wiz's display of her full power came soon after separating from Vanir. On one
cold morning the demon castle got a rude awakening. Wiz had arrived and was
forcefully cutting down the barriers around the castle. This was something
that should have been impossible to do. Of course two demon generals quickly
responded. The undead witch immediately froze the slime general and she also
knocked out the serpent demon general. This was made more amazing by the fact
that the serpent general was resistant to magic.
Wiz then stormed into the castle, found the headless Demon general, and pretty
much made him cry. He quickly offered to remove that previous curse if everything
ended in a draw. Soon after that Wiz became a demon general. She was put in
charge of maintaining the castle barrier as requested by the demon king. So
fortunately for Wiz there was a happy ending for her party members. Her old
friends ended up getting married and they occasionally visit her shop in Axel Town
Wiz is all too happy to play with their kid. Hey guys thanks for watching! Really
