God’s Blessings for These Unchanging Days!
Episode 11 of Konosuba: God’s Blessing On This Wonderful World Season 3 begins with Kazuma and Darkness arguing at the wedding. Lord Alderp interrupts their argument and tells Kazuma he must pay him two billion eris if he wants Darkness. Kazuma pushes a vase containing all the money necessary to pay off the Dustiness Family’s debt with Alderp.
How did Kazuma earn that debt money and what does he expect from Darkness?
Kazuma tells Darkness how he earned all that money. He says he sold all his ideas’ rights to Vanir and used every ounce of money he earned while adventuring with Darkness and the others. Kazuma tells Darkness that he doesn’t want to hear anything from her. Instead, Kazuma wants Darkness to prepare herself as he wants her to use her “looks” to earn his money back. Darkness complies.
What else happens during our heroes’ wedding ceremony escape attempts?
Next, Darkness, Kazuma, and Aqua attempt to flee. Then, Alderp’s guards intervene. While Darkness engages in a grappling battle with the guards, Aqua uses her entertainment spell on Kazuma. She and Kazuma hide behind one of the wedding chairs. Kazuma uses the entertainment spell to mimic Alderp’s voice. Kazuma (as Alderp) tells the guards to help him collect the money since many wedding guests are trying to steal it.
The guards comply, allowing our heroes to continue fleeing. Then, a large guard stands in our heroes’ way. Fortunately, Yunyun uses her “Light of Saber” spell to defeat that guard. Megumin is standing next to her, too. Kazuma notices Megumin’s charging up an explosion spell and shows concern. Alderp mocks Megumin and argues she wouldn’t set off her spell. Megumin teases Alderp by setting the spell up.
Kazuma and Darkness confront Megumin. Darkness wants to thank Megumin and Yunyun when they return home. Then, Alderp tries bribing the adventurers outside to capture Darkness. The adventurers ignore Alderp, much to Alderp’s disappointment. Then, several more men from Alderp’s party arrive. Simultaneously, Megumin’s explosion spell becomes difficult for her to hold.
Megumin tells Kazuma that she may have to perform it. Kazuma tells Megumin to hold it. Unfortunately, Megumin releases the spell and destroys some windows and structures in her wake. After that, our heroes flee the scene. Alderp tells his men to chase them. Then, Dust and several other adventurers cause a scene to stall the guards, allowing our heroes to escape.
What happens when our heroes revisit Ignis and does Ignis die?
Eventually, our heroes arrive at Ignis’s home and realize Ignis is in terrible shape. Megumin leaves Darkness and Kazuma alone with Ignis. Ignis asks Kazuma to take Darkness with him. Before Ignis passes on, he asks Darkness if she cherishes life now. Darkness says she does and plans to enjoy every minute with her friends. She tells her father she loves him and hopes they can speak more when he feels better. Ignis seemingly passes away.
Then, Aqua uses her Sacred Break Spell on Ignis and cures him. Aqua confirms Ignis suffered from a nasty curse, much to everyone’s shock.
What happens during Vanir and Maxwell’s discussion with Alderp?
Next, Alderp punishes Maxwell. Alderp confirms he had Maxwell put the curse on Ignis. Maxwell tells Alderp that someone has cured Ignis. Alderp orders Maxwell to warp the narrative to suit Alderp’s needs. Maxwell refuses because a powerful light is preventing him from doing so. Alderp says he’s willing to pay him greatly if he obeys.
Then, Darkness seemingly arrives at Alderp’s place, enticing Alderp to greet her. However, this version of Darkness turns out to be Vanir in disguise. Vanir reveals himself to Maxwell and Alderp. Maxwell says he’s never met Vanir before, but Vanir tells Maxwell he knows of him. Vanir introduces himself and Maxwell tells Vanir that he sounds familiar.
Vanir plans to flee with Maxwell. He reveals that he told Kazuma many things about Alderp’s plans and laughs. Vanir says he plans to return Maxwell to Hell and continue to work under Wiz. Before they go, Maxwell makes Alderp suffer and says this is how he wants Alderp to pay him for his services.
Does Darkness rejoin Kazuma’s party?
Later, Darkness tells Kazuma and the others that Alderp went missing. She confirms that Alderp sent the body-swapping Divine Treasure to Princess Iris’s castle. Therefore, Darkness says they no longer need to flee Axel. Darkness refuses to accompany her friends inside because of the trouble she caused them. Kazuma and his friends tell Darkness everything is okay.
Darkness confirms Kazuma will retain all the eris he gave to Alderp. This results in Megumin and Aqua trying to persuade Kazuma to buy them expensive merchandise. Darkness isn’t sure if she should rejoin the group. After hearing Megumin and Aqua out, Darkness asks Kazuma if she can rejoin the party. Kazuma says Darkness can rejoin the party, leading to a wholesome moment between him, her, and the others.
How does Konosuba: God’s Blessing On This Wonderful World Season 3 end?
Kazuma monologues about his crazy adventure while several scenes depicting the series’s cast play in the background. Then, Kazuma and his friends arrive at the Adventurer’s Guild. Kazuma explains what erotic thing happened between Darkness and himself in Darkness’s room with Aqua and Megumin. Then, Kazuma asks Aqua questions about Axel’s marriage policies.
Kazuma realizes Darkness got divorced and mocks her for it. The season ends with Darkness yelling at Kazuma for calling her Divorcedness.
The Episode Review
The third season of Konosuba: God’s Blessing On This Wonderful World (Konosuba) is complete. Although the previous episode showed Kazuma saving Darkness, our hero had to go through several loops to escape Alderp and his men’s clutches. Fortunately, everything turned out well for our group, and Alderp got the punishment he deserved. This was a decent way to end this series’s third season.
It had touches of comedy and heartfelt scenarios that audiences will find appealing. From Megumin’s explosion spell struggles to Darkness’s scenario with Ignis, several story segments will make audiences laugh and smile. At the same time, this episode gives fans a minor payoff regarding the Divine Treasures. It wasn’t much, but fans will appreciate the tale for bringing those up meaningfully.
At the same time, there were moments in this episode that may leave audiences feeling mixed. For example, Aqua’s Sacred Break Spell action ruined the scene between Darkness and Ignis (her father). Aqua’s actions made that family moment feel weightless. It’d been better if Ignis remained dead as his demise could’ve propelled Darkness’s character forward.
On top of having some confusing and questionable moments near the episode’s midway point, this wasn’t a marvelous way to end this series’s third season. Nevertheless, we’re optimistic that some matters touched upon in Season 3 will be addressed in a future sequel.
