You know how Kazuma ended up in the wonderful world of KonoSuba but how
about before that? What exactly was Kazuma up to? As you
might have guessed Kazuma used to be a hardcore gamer. He would stay up and raid
all night long. Kazuma was a total shut-in that would never dare go outside.
What's interesting is that his parents were actually paying for him to go to a
private school. Instead of actually going Kazuma will pretend to go then sneak
back into his house and continue gaming all day. So why was Kazuma like this?
According to what he's revealed one specific thing traumatized him long ago.
His first crush from my elementary school promised to marry him. During one
summer in middle school Kazuma saw this girl together with
another older student. He was completely devastated by this. To try to forget
about this he started spending all his time online. Eventually this unhealthy
lifestyle was ultimately what led him to meet Aqua on that fateful day. What do
you think? Would you call that a blessing or a horrible curse?
Fast forward to the start of KonoSuba, a young Kazuma at 16 years old was beginning
his adventure. Currently he's almost 18 in the light novels and much older at 20
years old in the original web novel. At that starting point Kozma was 5 feet 4
inches and weighed 55 kilograms or about 121 pounds. Of course you saw Kazuma get
that Adventurer class in Episode one. About that, an adventurer is considered the
weakest class in KonoSuba. They play it down in the anime but everyone thinks
that class is completely useless. Most people that begin with in either
change into a more specialized class as soon as possible, or they simply give up
and become a merchant or cook instead. mm-hmm take the hint Kazuma! Funny since
almost on level 40 Kazuma is breaking some world records. He might be
the highest level adventurer ever!
Could Kazuma actually be a legendary hero? One of the demon king generals that he
encounters later brings us up how there's this fairy tale with the
legendary hero that has the same exact family name.
Apparently this demon general was completely convinced that this Kazuma
was the one from the legend. Mostly due to that name being a very rare one in
their world. Kazuma was even asked to join the demon king army because of this,
second time in fact. Who knows? Perhaps Kazuma in reality is a destined hero.
Although Kazuma didn't buy it. He claimed that his family name Satou is pretty
common in Japan.
The voice behind your favorite hero is Jun Fukushima, currently 40 years old.
Arguably Kazuma has been his biggest role yet. His only other bigger role has been
shokichi from Yowamushi Pedal. Here's two other minor but notable roles: the former
king from no game no life and a random young Ishbalan from the original Fullmetal
Alchemist. So let's hope that he continues to bless us with this amazing
Kazuma voice in more KonoSuba seasons. You do actually have to give a lot of
things to him for giving more life into Kazuma. It has been mentioned in
interviews how a lot of the jokes in the anime were improvised by the actors.
Remember that "Yes I'm Kazuma" running joke? You could thank him for that. That was
not in the script or the original novels.
The infamous Kazuma you know from KonoSuba has a dark secret habit. A lot
of his perverted habits are their played down or simply cut from the anime. Kazuma
seems to have this obsession with female clothing or more specifically their
underwear. It really shouldn't be a surprise not from the man famous for
stealing girls pantsu. Unfortunately most of this sexual harassment has been
aimed at Megumin. Kazuma often tries to look under her skirt when she's asleep
and he's even trying to train Chomusuke to steal her underwear. According to Aqua
she's even caught him sniffing their dirty laundry and worst of all, taking
all their underwear, filling a bathtub with it and jumping inside. Yeah there's
a lot you could get from Kazuma's character from this habit. It is funny
how Darkness is left out of most of this. Perhaps Kazuma is just too freaked out
by her. Also no mention of Aqua but that shouldn't surprise. You and you should
know why!
Despite his perverted nature Kazuma has managed to keep a close relationship
with his party. Kazuma has openly admitted to finding Megumi, Darkness, and
even Aqua beautiful. Their personalities on the other hand, he describes him as
being very rotten. Kazuma does realize that he's not some dense main character. He's
fully aware about the feelings from the other girls towards him. He even has
openly admitted having feelings towards Darkness and Megumin. Things have
escalated since then. Kazuma has even gotten a chance to sleep with both of
them, under consent by the way. Unfortunately he always chickens out
when it counts. Of course Kazuma has no feelings for Aqua.
They're more like brother and sister anyway. What's kind of funny is that he
has admitted to using everyone to "take care of him" in that specific shop, except
for one. Never Aqua. Even so Aqua has told him that she's willing to do it even
with someone like him. All that Kazuma has to do is buy her some expensive alcohol.
Later on in KonoSuba, Kazuma finds himself becoming an infamous wanted
criminal. He becomes a secret thief alongside
Chris. They end up becoming almost as warranted as a Demon King himself. S,o
what exactly did they end up doing? How did Kazuma screw up? Kazuma and the
Boss Lady came up with his plan to break into the kingdom's castle. They ended up
making their way inside the castle to steal some jewelry from the kingdom's
princess. What made it more of a spectacle was that their group was able to take
out all the Royal Guards in the castle. This included some very powerful revived
players and even Kazuma's party members. After that event the infamous duo got
a very high bounty of 200 million gold. Keep in mind that's only second to the
Demon King.
When Kazuma first started off in KonoSuba, there really wasn't anything special
about him, except for one key state: his god level Luck. It was almost like
the world was telling him to become a merchant. Later on Kazuma actually leans
more towards this and found major success. It all began with this
partnership with Vanir. Eventually Kazuma ends up making a deal and sells him the
rights of every single item that he made from Japan. Kazuma ends up so rich from
this deal that people refer to him as a "Billionaire Adventurer". He has so much
money in that he ends up giving Aqua an allowance. That might have been just to
shut her up. He even tried to make condoms at one point, too bad he made
them too thick. And yes! What you're seeing is exactly what you think in that
picture. Darkness has an excuse but Aqua really should know what those balloons
are . . .
So far Kazuma has died a total of four times in a series. That's pretty
interesting since Kazuma has also died four times in
the anime. Two of those times didn't really ever happen. I'll let you take a
guess at which to death are not canon. Anyway besides those times you could
expect Kazuma to have two more funny deaths. One of those times involves Kazuma
out on the frontlines. Kazuma was all super pumped up to show off in the front
lines. Unfortunately he charged out in front of
everyone. In the middle of the battle he got trampled by some low-level demon
goblin. Yeah that was pretty embarrassing. It was a complete failure on his part.
The second time, Kazuma became a delicious lunch or I guess appetizer in
this case. Kazuma got eaten by this god level Hydra monster.
According to Aqua that was putting his body back together, Kazuma got melted so
bad that at one point Kazuma became Misses Kazuma. As Megumin would put it, Kazuma's
excalibur got melted clean off.
Overall Kazuma is a super flawed character. He constantly sexually
harasses his party and other girls. He's extremely lazy. He even admits to having
something he calls a "pissing jar" in his room. I'll let you go ahead and use your
imagination. Kazuma has the weakest job and is physically very weak. Kazuma also
seems to have the subconscious self-hatred and feel super insecure
about the way he looks. Megumin thinks this is due to some type of trauma.
Despite Kazuma's weak points there is a flip side. Kazuma has found a way to turn
a weakness into an advantage. I mentioned that Kazuma is super lazy but
he uses that as a strength to figure out shortcuts to get stuff done. Kazuma is
physically very weak but this does force him to come up with sneaky ways to fight.
He also doesn't mind using force on a girl especially when it comes to using
Drain touch anywhere on a girl's body, in a self defense of course. Perhaps Kazuma's
greatest weakness at the beginning has been his job class. Eventually this
has become a strength for Kazuma too. He's taken advantage of being able to learn
skills from other specialized classes. You've seen that he learned drain touch,
a demon level skill that would otherwise be impossible for him to learn. Kazuma
even wanted to learn the death curse but he couldn't find a Dullahan. Ee's even
found a way to abuse his god-level luck. You better not let him anywhere near a
casino! In all Kazuma is arguably the key to their party success. The only
issue with this is that since Kazuma comes up with a plan, he's never
actually a landing of finishing blow on a boss. This is a huge reason for why
Kazuma is much much lower level than his party members. Most of the time it's Megumin
in taking the kill.
