Konosuba Cosplay Explodes With Megumin

By Evan Valentine

Konosuba: God's Blessing on This Wonderful World is considered a fan-favorite in the isekai genre. Focusing on the story of Kazuma Sato as he navigates a magical world with a band of idiosyncratic adventurers, the franchise has recently spawned an explosive new spin-off. Konosuba: An Explosion on This Wonderful World focuses on the explosion sorceress known as Megumin, and new cosplay has brought her to life once again.

Like Kazuma and the other warriors that make up the merry band, Megumin has a personality that makes her the perfect addition to Konosuba's premiere team. Megumin's love of explosion magic permeates almost every episode that she appears in and while she is able to unleash some destructive spells, they come with a major caveat. Normally, the sorceress finds herself completely drained when she unleashes an explosion at a target, which can sometimes be a problem if Megumin's ultimate attacks are unable to take down an opponent in one hit. Luckily, we'll be seeing more of Megumin in her side story as well as the upcoming third season of Konosuba dropping next year. 

Explosion Cosplay

The Isekai genre has gained serious steam in recent years, as the trope of following a mundane protagonist dropped into a magical world allows for some interesting storytelling. While it's debatable as to which Isekai series stands at the top of the ladder, Konosuba's unique sense of humor and endearing characters have helped it immensely. 

If you haven't had the opportunity to dive into the world of Kazuma Sato and his band of adventurers in Konosuba, here's an official description of the isekai series, "After a traffic accident, Kazuma Sato's disappointingly brief life was supposed to be over, but he wakes up to see a beautiful girl before him. She claims to be a goddess, Aqua, and asks if he would like to go to another world and bring only one thing with him. Kazuma decides to bring the goddess herself, and they are transported to a fantasy world filled with adventure, ruled by a demon king. Now Kazuma only wants to live in peace, but Aqua wants to solve many of this world's problems, and the demon king will only turn a blind eye for so long..."
