Original subtitles

Are you okay? Did you get hurt?

How can I become like you?

Little girl, what is your name?

I am Megumin!

The red blazing flames illuminated the girl.

The intense heat and brightness of the flames

left a lasting impression on her heart.

This is the story of a girl

who later became known as a rare Arch Wizard and as a psychotic girl

with explosion magic.

(Konosuba: An Explosion on This Wonderful World!) This is the story that happened before she met her true companions

(Konosuba: An Explosion on This Wonderful World!) after leaving her hometown and embarking on a journey.

(Episode 1: The Red-Eyed Wizards)

Megumin?

Is this your nickname?

This is my real name.

I see.

Who exactly broke the seal for me?

Little girl, well...

Because of your magic,

the puzzle that I had worked so hard to complete disappeared.

Can you find it with me?

Puzzle?

Little girl,

didn't the adults in your village tell you not to come here?

My mother told me that

places where others say you cannot enter

usually have treasures,

so I come here every day.

It's you.

It seems that I am the one

who needs to thank you.

Little girl, do you have any wishes?

Wishes?

You don't have to be polite. Just tell me.

Don't be fooled by my appearance now.

I am a mysterious Arch Wizard with super strong powers.

I want to conquer the world!

I'm sorry, but I can't help you with that.

What's going on?

Could this child be an unexpected big shot?

Do you have any other wishes?

Then let me have huge breasts.

I cannot fulfill this wish, either.

By the way, how old are you?

You're too young to worry about this.

Then...

Let me become the Demon King.

I'm sorry. I take back what I just said.

Compared with you, who may be a big shot,

I am just a wizard with small powers.

Therefore, I can only fulfill your small wishes.

Then you can accompany me

to find the three missing pieces of this puzzle.

Wait a moment. That's not what I meant.

I can help you achieve a wish that is slightly bigger than this.

Except this, think about whether you have any other wishes.

Bigger wish.

Bigger wish?

Yes.

Please teach me the magic you just casted.

Well...

Please teach me that.

I really don't recommend you

learn that magic spell.

Then help me catch the crayfish.

Please don't look at me

with that cold stare that says you think I'm useless.

The magic has many flaws. That's why I can't teach you.

What kind of magic is that?

That is called explosion magic.

It is the strongest magic.

Strongest?

Strongest!

You're so amazing!

-Let's go back and grill some crayfish. -We ate crayfish yesterday.

-By the way, pick some edible leaves. -We'll also eat crayfish today.

Okay!

We'll also eat crayfish tomorrow.

-We'll also eat crayfish and cicada the day after tomorrow. -Is that so?

We'll also eat crayfish tomorrow.

We'll also eat crayfish and cicada the day after tomorrow.

We'll also eat crayfish tomorrow.

We'll also eat crayfish and cicada...

This is very delicious.

I don't mean that I want to eat it.

Bye.

You gave it to her?

Because she looked like she was hungry.

As expected of my sister, you have a big heart.

-Huh? -It's strange.

Seems like someone is at home.

Megumin.

You weren't at home, and it made me really worried.

You're back.

Dad!

Ko...

That's a lot!

Mom.

However, tonight we are having...

Sukiyaki.

I haven't had real meat for several months.

Today is an exception. Everyone can have two slices of meat.

Wow, two slices?!

Can I eat three slices of meat?

Nope.

Sis, what's Sukiyaki?

It is a very luxurious dish

that can only be eaten on special occasions.

Remember to beat the egg before eating it.

Is the egg you're talking about the same one that I have in my mind?

I never thought that one day I would be able to sit around a hotpot

with my lovely daughters like this and enjoy Sukiyaki together.

My diligent work as a craftsman is worthwhile.

Dad, is your work going smoothly?

Yeah.

There is a great person who knows how good the things I make are.

I am also working very hard.

Yeah.

Thanks to your mom's good explanation.

Oh, that guy's lucky to have me helping him with things.

It's a bit difficult for me to believe this.

What did you say?

What kind of person is it?

Honey, I want tea.

Honey, I want tea.

No way, honey.

It's impossible to have tea to drink

when none of the products have been sold yet.

If you want to splurge, wait until business is good.

Hi.

I can't believe there's something like this here.

Are you a traveler?

Please take your time to look.

Hmm, I didn't expect humans could also make this kind of product.

Let me take a closer look.

Oh, that's great!

You are the first customer today.

Please go back.

Why?

This product is of top-notch quality and required a lot of hard work to create.

I only sell to people who recognize the true value of it.

Good grief. You're saying that again.

Wouldn't you be embarrassed to tell

the hungry children that nothing was sold today?

No. This is not something that can be bought at a roadside stall like this.

I can tell at a glance that this was made by a skilled craftsman of magic items.

You're indeed a professional, Madam.

I came all the way here to do business, and finally I have some gains.

That's right. This thing has been infused with very strong magic,

unlike the magical toys sold by other vendors.

This is a special product.

I-I see.

This thing can summon the person you want to see.

I have actually been searching for an important person.

This thing is really perfect for my journey.

That's great.

The magic item craftsman from the Crimson Demon Clan

promised you that your journey will be successful.

That'll be 100 000 Eris.

Promise?

Something like a contract?

Yes.

Interesting.

I'll take this.

Thank you for your purchase.

It is rare for me to come across someone who knows the worth of my product.

She must be a famous adventurer.

That's really a good thing.

That person should also be very happy, right?

Thanks to her, we can eat meat.

I can finally buy my daughters new uniforms.

I am proud of myself as a father.

Oh, Megumin. You can buy new uniforms now.

Really?

Mom, you clearly said before that I can only wear your old clothes.

I feel like you don't want to wear those old clothes.

That's because the clothes were tailored to

your preferences from that particular era.

Hey, I must say your mom has

an impressive and capable sense of style.

Her dress is just like a big demon king.

Why bring that up? It's all in the past now.

I just hate that feeling of being too capable,

so I don't want to wear those old clothes.

(Konosuba: An Explosion on This Wonderful World!) Capable!

When it comes to the uniforms of the magic school,

the best choice is still to choose the clothes that suit my own style.

You're so amazing!

Adorable!

My little girl is fully capable of taking care of herself.

She has just started school.

Honey, make me a cup of tea to drink.

Boiling water is the only drink at home.

Dad and Mom.

I will study in the school

to become a great wizard...

Uh-huh.

that can use explosion magic.

Uh-huh.

Huh?

Congratulations to all the students for being admitted.

Welcome to the Crimson Demon's School. This is the world's best magic school,

Crimson Prison!

I hope that everyone here can find the crimson light

while exploring the magic and sorcery.

Okay,

next, we will enter the inspiring second chapter.

-Oh no, if the principal starts a long speech, -For the new students,

-the ceremony might last until the next morning. -I will be brief

-The annual enrollment ceremony is over. -and sincere in reminding everyone...

Wait, the highlight has just begun.

At least let me speak until the third chapter.

Didn't you let me finish my speech last year?

Starting from tomorrow,

please work hard and attend classes seriously.

Crimson Prison.

I'll start a new chapter from here.

In the near future, these classmates will all become my stepping stones.

The ceremony has finally ended.

The principal talks too much nonsense.

There are only 11 people here.

Because this is a small village.

We are the chosen 11.

11 is the number of demon.

Cool, it looks pretty good.

Megumin, are you coming with us?

We're going to Nerimaki's pub to have an enrollment party.

I have no intention of joining any of you.

What?

Impressive.

You displayed an unsociable attitude right after entering school.

It seems like you understand it well.

Well...

What's wrong?

Who are you?

We live in the same village, but you don't remember my name.

I really don't have any impression of you.

Do you really not know me?

I really don't know you.

I remember she is...

The chief's family...

I-I am Yunyun.

Oh yes, that's the name.

I don't even know you're in the same grade as us.

Your presence is too weak.

So how can I help you, Yunyun?

I am very busy.

Well...

I have been looking forward to seeing you.

But we're not familiar with each other.

Are you a stalker?

That's not what I meant.

I feel nauseous. Can you please stop bothering me?

Wait, I...

I enrolled to defeat you.

What did you say?

Huh?

You declared war on your opponent from the beginning.

What an exciting character setting.

Huh?

N-No.

My school life began like this.

Life in the Crimson Prison is very difficult.

The Crimson Demon Clan can only achieve recognition as independent wizards

after mastering advanced magic.

But the magic I want to learn is not this.

I want to learn the magic I saw that day.

You have been in school for about a month.

Today, I will explain the special magic.

In addition to advanced magic,

there are also explosion magic, scattered magic,

and striking magic in this world.

Sir, there is an important matter that is not written in the book.

What is it?

That is the usage method for explosion magic.

Explosion...

No way.

I advise you not to learn explosion magic.

Why?

Explosion magic is something that

even if you spend your whole life learning,

you may never have the opportunity to use it.

It's just a magic used for fun and jokes.

Come on, Megumin. Don't be funny.

I didn't expect you to have such a talent for humor.

Impressive.

Hey, you are laughing excessively.

It's time for PE class. Let's begin our combat training.

Great! I have been looking forward to this class.

For us, the Crimson Demon Clan, what is the most important thing during battle?

So...

Yunyun, the second-ranked one in the exam,

answer me.

Me?

Let me think. The most important thing during a battle is...

It's to remain calm.

I believe that the most important thing is

to remain calm and composed in the face of changes.

Five points.

Only five points?

Next is Megumin, the first-ranked one.

It's the destructive power!

It means the power to trample everything.

I believe that strength is the most important.

50 points.

Strength is indeed important,

but it's not the most important thing. Therefore, you can only score 50 points.

I only got 50 points?

It's okay. I only have five points anyway.

Arue, you're supposed to know the answer, aren't you?

It's to be cool!

100 points.

Yeah, it's all about being cool.

If the battles of the Crimson Demon Clan

are not magnificent, then they are meaningless.

So now I will demonstrate it once,

so that you can understand exactly what I mean.

Cursed Lighting!

My name is Pucchin.

I am an arch wizard who controls advanced magic.

I am also a top-class homeroom teacher of the Crimson Demon Clan,

and soon to be the one sitting on the principal's throne.

I-It's so cool.

The dark clouds were summoned

for the purpose of using this magic.

I see.

It's embarrassing.

What's there to be ashamed of?

That's...

The Crimson Demon Clan.

It's hot.

Alright.

Next, team up with your favorite person

and help each other come up with cool names.

Take the time to research the best posture.

Yes.

Team up?

Okay, the remaining one will team up with me.

Huh?

(Konosuba: An Explosion on This Wonderful World!) Huh?!

This guy is my enemy!

According to the statistical data I found,

you are very likely to become a powerful wizard in the future.

Since that's the case, let's compete here and determine who is superior.

Although I don't know what you're talking about,

I feel very eager to try it.

(Konosuba: An Explosion on This Wonderful World!) Inferno!

I am Funifura.

I recently started school and I'm currently learning magic.

Watch out of me.

My name is Dodonko.

And then... what should I say?

I am Nerimaki.

I'm the daughter of a very successful liquor merchant.

I always smile when paying with cash.

Huh? It sounds a bit strange.

It's really difficult to come up with a name in such a short period of time.

(Konosuba: An Explosion on This Wonderful World!) Inferno!

I am Arue.

I am currently learning advanced magic.

I will become a writer soon.

I am the fastest growing one among the new students.

You actually brought it up about growing?

(Konosuba: An Explosion on This Wonderful World!) Huge breasts!

Arue is the only one doing well.

Alright, Yunyun, give it a try.

Yes.

Well...

I-I am the daughter of the chief and...

What's wrong? How are you going to handle it if being so shy?

Only those who can drive their own names can drive the Crimson Demon's battles.

Sir, I feel very embarrassed.

What? You are clearly a member of the Crimson Demon Clan.

How could you say such rare words?

You actually said such rare words.

What's wrong?

Nothing.

Huh?

Huh?

Sir, I don't feel well.

Can I rest for this class?

Again?

The content of today's physical education class is very important.

I won't allow you to pretend to be sick like usual.

Huh?

I am about to be awakened.

If this goes on like this,

someone inside me will take over this body.

Megumin, you...

Is the one sealed inside of you about to be awakened?

Alright.

I allow you to rest over there.

You must not break that seal.

Understood. Then I'll take my leave.

Yunyun, since Megumin went to rest,

I don't have a partner now.

Can you team up with me?

Thank you.

I will soon become the chief of this village.

No, I don't have this confidence.

At this point, all you need to do is to bluff.

Bluff?

Stare.

-Like this and like this. -This...

Sir, it's raining.

So to speak, today

is the day when the magic's source, the moon, reaches its highest position.

Has my suppressed magic overflowed?

Just be honest and admit that you never thought of a way to stop this rain.

The principal's tulips in the flower bed will be washed away.

I see.

No way!

Oh no, everyone, please help catch the tulip.

Otherwise, I will be fired.

You accidentally spoke the truth.

Sir, I have a stomachache and want to go to the health center.

What are you talking about? Come over and help quickly.

Yunyun, it ran over to your side.

Darn, has the seal been broken?

This rain is the power of an evil god.

He attributed the cause of this rain to an evil god.

Charge!

(Konosuba: An Explosion on This Wonderful World!) Charge!

What's all this about?

What kind of class is this?

If only we could use magic.

Yeah.

I really want to learn magic quickly.

Yeah.

This situation

can be immediately resolved with a powerful burst of explosion magic.

Huh?

Nothing.

Megumin,

although everyone is mocking you,

it all depends on how the user uses the explosion magic.

That's too intimate.

Aren't you my opponent?

Y-Yeah.

We are rivals.

Although I got second place in the last exam,

next time...

Alright.

What do you mean by "alright"?

Explosion magic is a magic for fun?

No, the light

I saw that day...

Little girl, it's very dangerous here. You should leave quickly.

Go back to sleep for a while, my half body.

This world is peaceful now,

so you don't need to wake up yet.

Return to the original flame, the ultimate explosion.

Fall into a deep sleep.

Explosion magic!

Whether it's funny or not doesn't matter.

I

must learn how to use explosion magic

and become a wizard like that person.

(Konosuba: An Explosion on This Wonderful World!)

NEXT EPISODE PREVIEW Megumin, it's bad!

(Episode 2: Taboos of the Magic School) We haven't even learned magic yet,

(Episode 2: Taboos of the Magic School) but we have to practice it in class.

Use physical attacks to bury them.

Physical attacks?

There are a group of Gargoyles in the sky.

Could it be that the seal of an evil god has been broken?

Next episode, we'll send your heart into

an explosion!
