| Iris is just a magnet for being targeted because of her royal status. Not surprising really. Kazuma had his hands full this episode lmao, and Megumi had too much fun. Not going to lie, this arc really made Iris into a more likable character. As silly as it seems, her character personality got a lot of spotlght and it did involve a lot around her. |
 |
| And so begins the castle raid. A victory celebration is underway at the royal castle. Amidst the festivities, Kazuma finds himself overwhelmed by the impending departure from the capital and the sadness of bidding farewell to Iris. Chris approaches Kazuma and reveals a shocking truth: the necklace they used to swap bodies with Iris is a sacred treasure, capable of great danger depending on its use. Princess Iris is now in jeopardy. Under the cover of darkness, two black-clad thieves infiltrate the royal castle. After the party ends and the guests retire for the night, Chris and Kazuma don disguises. Chris wears a simple balaclava covering her mouth, while Kazuma opts for darker-toned clothes similar to his usual attire, along with the mask provided by Vanir. Choosing to carry his bow instead of his katana to avoid causing harm, Kazuma feels nervous. While he's had his share of misdemeanors, this marks his first felony. I never thought I'd see the day when Kazutrash would become the OP MC. We've come a long way. |
 |
| Very good episode again from this franchise. Kazuma and Chris is a insane duo. Goodbye to Iris, she was adorable. Hope Kazuma cherishes the ring. ^_^ Aqua, Darkness and Megumin are funny enough too. |

| I know people make promises all the time Then they turn right around and break them When someone cuts your heart open with a knife, now you're bleeding But I could be that guy to heal it over time And I won't stop until you believe it 'Cause baby you're worth it |
| It's a shame that we couldn't see more of that bath scene from the last episode... |
 |
| Megumins mind will probably just explode when she finds out who the thief was. |
| If anything that necklace would be perfect for villains that want to live forever. To think they only expected guards on the perimeters and the lower levels though. Still kinda surprised how powerful Kazuma was when he fought seriously. If he fought like that all the time then people's opinion of him will be far better. Off all things he stole it had to be that though lol. Iris and Megumin battling over the right to call Kazuma elder bro was hillarious. Looks like its back to reality for Kazuma though. |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| Well the infiltration was a success even with everything that happened. Kazuma has some explaining to do tho. I knew Darkness would appear at some point in the castle the other two however was a bit of a surprise. But as usual the characters where all over the place. |
| Huh? Are we on Iris route now? I didn't expect Kazuma to be so badass in direct fight. I wish I could see their reactions if they knew it was him. And I totally forgot about Darkness' problem with hitting things lol |
| Another fantastic episode Kazuma and Chris are so hilarious together as a duo. Am going to miss Iris she is such a cutie. |
| I ship Kazuma and Chris |
 |
| I like the way Kazuma acted like Vanir. He was so badass. Good thing we got more of Chris this season. Just when you thought the original practice of waterboarding was bad, Kazuma proceeds to drown Katsuragi lol. |
| Loli fight! Another stellar episode. We got Chris rolling up for another night of yobai, and by yobai, I mean an invitation to a heist. (Yeah, Kazuma would definitely never misuse a magic item.) The whole heist sequence itself was amazing with Kazuma kicking ass while looking and acting like Vanir and getting yet another one over on Matsumoto, and the party being themselves. And now my boy Kazuma is technically married to the princess. She knows !! |

| Damn, they skipped the OP. Usually, they skip the ED for this type of anime. But skipping the OP made for a more exciting intro to the episode ngl. The whole infiltration scene was so cool. Kazuma was badass even tho he was a thief and pulled many dirty tricks. Darkness being the only one who recognized Kazuma and Chris was hilarious af. Only thing keeping her from being a normal person is her masochism lol. Man, I was internally screaming when Kazuma was thinking of exposing himself. That would've been so cringe. Thanks Darkness for stopping that moron. Looks like the palace arc is over. I had a ton of fun with it but all good things must come to an end. I liked how Iris knew Kazuma had the ring all along. I'm not quite sure what the post-credits scene implied. Anyways, waiting for the next adventure. |

| Some episode full of action. Megumin was ready to throw hands with Iris. I like how just Darkness and Iris were smart enough to realize that was Kazuma raiding the castle. |
 |
| THEY AINT LETTING MY BOY KAZUMA EVER HAVE A GOOD DAY EVER One thing leads to another last ep and Kazuma managed to switch bodies with Iris momentarily. But reincarnated asked for that cheat item and should've mentioned exactly how long the effects lasted in order to avoid the situations that Kazuma got himself into right now, bro got caught red handed, in 4K ultra HD, got blamed for his lecherous action, labelled as a dumbass by his team, gained greater ire from Iris' bodyguards and even made Iris herself mad. Fucking hell, Kazuma quite literally got ousted from the celebratory party whilst the rest of his team enjoys the night in the castle. That's a PERSONAL FUCK YOU! However... WE'RE MAKING SURE KAZUMA IS THE GOAT!!! Chris finally convinced Kazuma to assist her in their infiltration and retrieval mission. I was only expecting the mundane commonality from this night mission of theirs, but hooo boy.... Fanir personally made mask came in clutch and gave Kazuma the GOAT such splendid presentation and fluidity to his movement, he's at his absolute peak at that moment right there. A true 1 man army, none could stand in his way and none could hope to best him with his FREEEEEEEEEEEZE spam attack. Alas yet again, his moment of greatness is essentially ruined by Darkness. Despite her not being able to do much in their confrontation, she's the one that got the credit whereas Kazuma, the very same person ousted from the castle, is blamed for his lack of action. Pshhh this season is really making Darkness seems like all that when she's just been all fucked in the head. At the very least... Iris knew that Kazuma was one of the thieves, that final last line alone is hinting something here. Maybe, juuuust maybe, Kazuma could come home to his rightful HOME in the capital castle as the slayer of the Demon king, lol. |

| Kazuma showing what’s he’s capable of doing |
 |
| This was a really good episode. It was nice to see Kazuma pop off like that XD. He also killed it in that thief outfit too. |
| Yup, Kazuma still sucks even after that "top condition" performance regarding the stealing of the necklace. Outside of the comedic value (which I sometimes don't really find funny) he's just a prick while whining and making everything worse. In any case, he somehow got out free of punishment and back to the adventure in search for the Divine Treasures. |

| That Mitsurugi dude is the biggest clown of this series lol. I mean Kazuma doesn't even need a sword in hand to make a fool out of that guy. At one point, I actually thought Vanir pocessed Kazuma there, but no, that just him being on roll. Iris knowing it's Kazuma by the way who actually stole the ring kind of gives a perfect end to this arc, plus her argument with Megumin over Kazuma too lol. |

| Very fun episode. Didn't know Kazuma actually had it in him, everything's always been a joke. Surprisingly wholesome ending. |
| Yep knew that's what was gonna happen but I was hoping for a bit more of the bathing scene atleast, anyway. Kazuma snapped, he can do it if he tries. That was pretty cool and satisfying. Glad Iris realised it was him and Darkness knew after one look too, best girls. Princess arc over but the adventure continues. Defeat the demon lord and princess will be yours Kazuma. |

| As usual, excellent directing and top-notch voice acting by Kazuma's seiyuu, lol. |
| Another goofy adventure for Kazuma |
How can you keep moving forward if you keep regretting the past? |
| Kazuma was actually pretty badass in this one, I really enjoyed him working together with Chris to steal that body swapping item, and learning that the swap can be permanent if one of the two is killed makes the situation a lot more serious, even with the goofiness that was had regarding it. It was also hilarious witnessing Mitsurugi get clowned on by Kazuma again, I love how Kazuma says “freeze” lol. And it seemed like the jig was up when the opponent ended up becoming Kazuma’s own party members, but with Darkness recognizing them, Aqua drunk and Megumin too awestruck to do anything, they weren’t that hard to deal with, it’s just unfortunate that Darkness punished them later after their flawless performance, and I’m honestly not sure how Megumin could do anything there anyway without blowing the castle up lol. And even if Kazuma thinks his chances with Iris were squandered, it appears she knows Kazuma has her ring and wants him to defeat the Devil King in the future, so really he’s in without even knowing it. And that was it for this Iris arc I think, I really enjoyed it and it was a great way to start this season, I look forward to what silliness comes next! |
| Looks like Rudeus already surpassed Kazuma in terms of being a good person. |
 |
| Worst adaptation by far. Really disappointed. This was supposed to be the best moment of Konosuba but the studio ruined it. |
 |
| This episode was really over-the-top and yeah, the Chris-Kazuma thief mission was a lot of fun to watch in how chaotic and dumb everything was. Kazuma is still quite the prick but admittedly, he and Chris had really good chemistry in these scenes as thieves of justice and it showcased itself well here. Ending was fine too as we head to the next arc with the next episode onwards. The start of the season was really rough and there are real times where Konosuba's too loud and obnoxious to handle but with an episode like this, it's a lot better than the stuff I got in the majority of season 2 besides the first couple episodes maybe. |

The worst Konosuba season made.
Now 6 episodes in. Haven't laughed once, it's just badly written and with stupid scenarios that do nothing but focus on what a scumbag Kazuma is.
Have watched the first two seasons and the movie about 4 times, they're so well-done and so funny, but I'm now watching this on double speed. Boring AF.

| @WienGirl Its not badly written rather badly adapted. This was by far the best Konosuba arc. They skipped and overwrote too much. |

| How did Iris know it was Kazuma? lol |

| @Pinoffin It was honestly really funny with the reveal at the end that yeah, Iris knew the whole thing and she was totally fine with Kazuma stealing the ring so he could propose later :D |

| @JustAnotherShiro Not surprised at all. Kazuma is the only competent member of the gang. He's the only one who actually bothered to game it and go, "so, what would actually be a useful skill for me?" He's got the emotional maturity of a ten-year-old but when it counts, he's far more clever than the others. |

| @WienGirl I actually agree that it's the worst season made. That's because there have only been two before it and both were 9-10/10. This one is at least a 7, with flashes of 8+. I'm hoping it will kick up a notch down the line? Be happy. At least it's not Jobless Reincarnation 2 part 2. |
| PEAKKKK EP!!! so iris is aware, damn. did darkness just become a wingwoman?!?! who knows really. just hope that he takes care of the ring. kazuma, for being women's no1 enemy, is quite op. infiltration and battle scene with chris was so cool! need more of them together.  |
eri-chris really likes him to an extent fr
lucky 
| Kazuma is probably the main hope of the classic harem of our time. Only he can assemble such a harem of different girls purely due to random coincidences and misunderstandings lmao. |
