What a beautiful way to end the season, Kazuma buys saves Princess Lalatina by paying off the huge debt her family accumulated with the adventure money they accumulated and the rights to his inventions, before making kinda heroic exit with the bride and rest of the crew with the local adventures covering for them which was sweet. Also kinda nice Kazuma got to keep his 2 billion funds, if i didn't consider this a mainly character focused season, i'd consider it economic / cash money boom season for the gang.

Yeah i'll give it to them, off course in the most tear jerking moment off Darkness's final words to her father, combined with the myriad of previous emotional moments, Aqua comes in to sprinkle her magic and saves the day while also ruining the moment. I'm happy Darkness's father gets to live, but holy shit did Aqua's God healing taser make me scream with laughter while holding back a few tears lmao, I also think that scene had the best scream from Darkness's VA yet.

Props to Kazuma for princess carrying Darkness, from all the comments of how jacked she was i have nothing but respect for my man. I also like how they just decided to disclose what happened between the two of them when Kazuma first broke into Darkness's room, thought they'd keep that one a personal memory, and holy SHIT was Megumin not happy Darkness's was gonna steal her mans.

Also gigachad Vanir, i honestly don't remember his presences in previous seasons being so apparent, but this season it feels like he's shown up when it's mattered most and basically handed out the solution.
It's hard to see with his very jokey/untrustworthy personality and being an ex-demon lord, but dude is straight up a solid businessman and helping guy. Whether his intentions are truly all good, we'd have to see in future season, but even watching the ending it looked to me like less of him helping a comrade out to amass more power, but more like helping a rescuing a friend.

Overall i thought s3 was an 8/10, felt like there was a lot more shift to characters and although it didn't have the usual omega death threat or a Demon Lord focus, it was honestly fine for me. The focus on Darkness this season i thought was paced well and gave her much needed development since for two season it was kinda getting tiring seeing her only as a masochist with her bits and not much else.
I also thought they showed off a lot more of Kazuma's character as well behind the funny jokey personality, the length's he'd go for his friends and a little more of his vulnerable "human" side at times.
They still cooked really well with the humour and dialogue, the funny moments felt like they hit just as much as they did those many years ago and made me remember what i loved so much from this series and main cast.
