English Dub Review: KONOSUBA -God’s blessing on this wonderful world! “A Talking-To for This Runaway!”
Overview
Darkness departs the mansion leaving behind a note. Not satisfied by a single note, Kazuma, Aqua, and Megumin protest in front of the Dustiness manor but are rudely turned away. Kazuma, frustrated with everything, is approached by Dust who needs his help…
Our Take
Kazuma, Aqua, and Megumin visit Darkness’s home to confront her about her sudden departure from their party. The absence of their tank member leaves the group vulnerable, and their attempts to recruit a replacement are thwarted by Megumin’s incessant chatter. Meanwhile, Kazuma gets roped into helping Dust win back Rin, which only leads to more comedic chaos and is easily one of the highlights in terms of wacky humor.
Later on, Kazuma learns from Rin that Darkness is being politically forced into a marriage with the Alderp family, which he sees as a serious issue. Determined to intervene, Kazuma rushes to see Darkness, who has resigned herself to the arrangement. His bluffing and confrontation with her result in a humorous and awkward scene. This leads to a moment where Darkness offers Kazuma something intimate, only to ruin the moment and escape. He then encounters her bedridden father, who encourages Kazuma to make an unthinkable choice…
Overall, the episode perfectly blends humor and plot, showcasing Kazuma’s desperation and the hilarious mishaps that ensue. From Dust’s ludicrous photoshoot to Kazuma’s failed rescue attempts, the episode delivers non-stop laughs. The chemistry between Kazuma and Darkness stands out, adding depth to their characters while maintaining the show’s comedic essence. But with 3 episodes left, how will Kazuma ultimately resolve Darkness’s predicament?
Do we know if Hulu will be the only entity to have the dub, or if it will be on other platforms, too? The show in general is definitely going to be on multiple platforms.
