Megumin! She's a young Arch wizard and
one of your favorite protagonist from
KonoSuba. Megumin is 13 at the start of
KonoSuba and currently she's 14 years
old. So pretty young! She also is a small
little thing. Megumin is four feet ten
inches or 148 centimeters. Like I said
small but Megumi has some time to grow.
One of Megumin's notable traits is
her being from the infamous Crimson
Magic Clans. This is a top clan
known for producing very talented Arch
Wizards. Crimson Wizards are regarded as
being very smart and powerful magic
users. Megumin in fact was the top
student while she was at the academy
there. Her clan is also known for having
really weird names, they all have notable
crimson eyes, and they have huge reserves
of mana. So they're perfectly prepared to
become Arch Wizards. They also do act very
crazy and weird like like Megumin so
it's not just her. You may have thought
it was a stylistic choice for the anime
but Megumin's eyes do glow red when she
gets excited. This is a very specific
trait for everyone from the Crimson
Magic Clan, although it seems like they played
down in the anime.
When Megumin small she was once
asked what you wish for the most. Megumin's
means top three wishes included: One
Conquering the world. Two getting huge
boobs. And three to become the demon
king. So Ms. Michael Bay was already
super ambitious at just five years old.
Our lovable Arch Wizard Megumin is
voiced by Rie Takahashi. She's a pretty
young voice actress. You may have
recognized her from another popular
series from last year. Megumin's voice
actors also voiced Emilia from Re Zero!
Yeah that's two magic users and two mega
hits from 2016. Definitely pretty lucky
for her! Let's hope that it isn't too
long until we can to see her again in
sequels for these series. Did you know she
even did a Megumin like introduction for
a Emilia in the preview for Re Zero
episode 18.
Explosio-!
So about Megumin's black kitty Chomusuke.
You see this furball introduced in
season two. Megumin brings it home,
unfortunately after they lost everything.
The reality here is that Megumin and
her kitty actually have a long history
together. Megumin originally meets
Chomusuke back when they were in the
Crimson Magic Clan village. One day after
getting back from school Megumin sees her
sister Komekko with it. There were bite
marks all over it too! Komekko had been
trying to eat it. Eventually Megumi and
her sister decided to keep it although
in the back of Megumin's mind she always
saw this cat as emergency food. Anyway
originally Yunyun temporarily named it
Kuro. Kuro meaning Japanese for black! Yeah
very creative Yunyun. Eventually Chomusuke
officially named it Chomusuke.
Even that poor little kitty cringed when
it heard the name!
Do you want to take a guess at just how
popular our little Arch Wizard is? In a
popularity poll done for the KonoSuba
series Megumin came out on top, first
place. Megumin even one by such a huge
landslide compared to the second place
spot. Second place by the way went to the
Goddess Eris. I could just hear Aqua
screaming in the background! Megumin
getting top place here isn't the end of
it. Megumin actually has her own KonoSuba
spinoff series. Here you can see
her adventure with a lovable Yunyun. The
name of Megumin's series? Gifting this
Wonderful World with Explosions!!
You get a glimpse of Megumin's early
childhood in season two during her
battle with Yunyun. Poor Megumin was
stealing bread crusts just to get a meal.
In reality it was that bad. Megumin
and her family were freaking dirt poor.
Let me give you an idea of just how bad
it was for Megumin. At the academy they
had daily PE classes but for Megumin
she always made up some excuse about
being sick to avoid them. Her reason? Just
so she could conserve calories! Megumin
also never brought breakfast or lunch of
her own. There was no food back home to
bring. To solve this Megumin would depend
on Yunyun for breakfast and sometimes for
lunch too. Yunyun would always challenge
Megumin, offering her per meal if she
lost. Megumin never lost. Even when she was
close to losing she would quickly remind
Yunyun that if she lost she would go
hungry and starve. By the way the Megumin
was very miserable on the weekend since she
couldn't take Yunyun's lunch. Poor poor
Megumin. At one point she even considered
selling her body just to get some money.
Anyway even after Megumin graduated from
the Academy she was still wearing her
school uniform. I'm sure you know why. On
the day that Megumin was set to leave
her village Yunyun and her friends came
to wish her off and give her some gifts.
Her friends were the ones that gave
Megumin her wizard robe, her staff and
even that eye patch that she playfully
wears.
You may recall this infamous scene of Megumin
from KonoSuba season one. Kazuma
stole Megumin's pantsu. After this the
entire world knew that Megumin wears
black undies. It turns out that this is
actually not the case in the light novel
or the manga. Because I just know you're
dying to know Megumin actually wears
white pantsu in the light novel and the
manga. So why exactly does Megumi in love
explosions so much? Is she really that
crazy village girl that everyone claims
she is? The actual reason goes far back.
When Megumin was very young she got
attacked by this huge black monster. An
Arch Wizard that was passing by
defeated this beast using explosion
magic. This was when Megumin witnessed
firsthand just how powerful explosion
magic could be. So after this event right
here Megumin was inspired to learn
explosion magic. Nothing else would do.
Not even advanced magic. One of Megumin's
life goals is to actually find
this mystery Arch Wizard from long ago
and show her her explosion magic. The
young Megumin also thought for
whatever reason that becoming an Arch
wizard and learning explosion magic
would help her get bigger boobage. Yeah
Megumin must be disappointed!
I'm sure you got in a taste of Aqua's Axel
cult and her crazy followers. It turns out
that Megumin mean has a very interesting
connection to them. As we see at the
end of season two there's three key
techniques that these loony followers
use to try to get Kazuma's group to join.
There is dropping apples in front of
someone. There's faking getting attacked
by someone then busting out the
recruitment form. And the best one of
them all. Using a little girl who fell
and then busting out the recruitment
form. For this you could thank or
actually blame this all on Megumin. It's
all thanks to her that they're using
these recruitment tactics. This city was
actually the first place where Megumin
arrived after leave her village. Of
course that being Megumin she was
completely broken had no money to leave.
So Megumi ended up helping them as
thanks for the food and shelter they
provided. Part of this included Megumin
showing them some interesting
recruitment strategies eventually this
was how Megumin ended up getting money
for the carriage ride to get to Axel
City. The city were Kazuma and Aqua
arrived at.
So about Megumin's explosions. Why exactly
is explosion magic so bad? The obvious
answer you might be thinking of is what
we see from Megumin. Megumin is
completely drained after using her
explosion once. The reality for her is
much much worse. Explosion magic is like
a curse for Megumin. In the world of the
Crimson magic clan every student attends
Academy until they get enough skill
points to learn advanced magic. Everyone
is taught that explosion magic exists
and how there's two types of people that
learn it. Either immortal demons who just
have way too many skill points to waste
just because they've been living so long
or complete dumbasses since explosion
magic is seen as useless magic. So here's
how useless explosion magic really is
especially in the case for Megumin. First
off its useless in close and mid-range
fights for obvious reason. It's also
useless in forests, dungeons, cities, and
any place that's densely populated. So in
other words most places. Certain cities
also forbid the use of advanced magic
and above anyway! Explosion magic is
definitely included. Not that you want to
use explosions there anyway otherwise
the caster might be labeled a terrorist.
If you do use explosion magic you're
very likely to attract more enemies. This
was something we saw when Kazuma and his
team were trying to kill the frogs at
the very beginning. And lastly most of
the beginner quests don't even pay that
much at all. Beginners make most of their
money from selling the remains of
whatever monster they're hunting. You
could say where I'm going with this.
Unlike other magic explosion magic
completely obliterates the target so
good freakin luck making money from that!
Explosion magic really is a curse for
Megumin. You can see now how fortunate she
is to have found Aqua's party. Megumin
had been rejected from so many already.
The unfortunate reality for her is that
if Megumin had learn advanced magic
or even intermediate magic Megumin would
have been very very overpowered. Even
Yunyun that only knew intermediate magic
was
quite powerful. Could you imagine Megumin
with advanced magic! She would be able
to one hit most enemies pretty easily
but I guess that would mean no
explosions and that wouldn't be fun! Wow
already done unfortunately only got that
are a fraction of other things on Megumin.
