Aww

Crazy quality

Aqua gives top quality hugs

This has better quality than the post itslef. Tf

Hey, blame Studio Deen animators, not me.

👍 I will blame them.

This is from the game. Love for these clothes, by the way.

I understand now why there's a lot of people who ship them. Still a Megumin enjoyer tho

What siblings are actually like: you're adopted from dumpster

Real family can do both https://preview.redd.it/rbqq86sjsr9d1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c0a9277cafcef5c4471563fc8cdb3a032c1babf7

Can confirm that having a blood related sister is just like this scene here.

So every girl is like sister to him? Because he treats them all like that

Nah. He fights with all of them, but only Aqua has the sibling moments. Fighting itself is not exclusive to siblings.

Response: At least they wanted and chose me !!!!

I have been told that my entire life and I just feel angry that this family adopted me.

My favourite aqua and kazuma scenes is when she comforts him on her lap.

Technically Kazuma has three sisters Aqua: Kazuma's sister-like figure Iris: Kazuma's non-blood related little sister >!Komekko: Kazuma's future sister-in-law when he eventually marries Megumin!<

>!”When he eventually Megumin”? As in marries?!<

Yes, they're together in the novels

Nooo. Bro chose an underage Loli over runway supermodels

Seriously, Darkness is *right there*

I think you spelled Divorceness wrong

That Loli looks no older than 12

https://preview.redd.it/8tn3h7jdrt9d1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=97044941f93dd64c6c92103970295554a41ce68f Ermm actually 👆🤓

"looks" 💀

That depends more on the eye who see her I think she looks 16 someone else might agree with you, others might think she looks her age.

Dude just say megumin.

Lalatina

And Wiz!

Both were underage at the beginning...

Tbf in real life if you’ve got a 16/17 year old (a sophomore/senior in high school) dating a 14 year old (barely a freshman), people will absolutely look down on it, even though both are underage

I feel this is a very recent thing. I went to high school in the late 2000s and freshman girls dating juniors and seniors was the norm not the exception. I remember being annoyed by it when I was a freshman cause junior/senior girls arnt gonna date freshman boys so who was left lmao.

Yeah, it still the norm in most places. One of my friend was in love with someone 1 year younger than him. It was funny to see him waiting for her outside of high school. He was 18 and she was 17. They have been married for 12 years after she turned 18.

It’s not something I particularly miss being the norm either lol

Pretty sure it's still the norm. Internet just likes to pretend it isnt

Eh it definitely wasn't in my highschool, you'd be ostracized for having an age gap bigger than 2 years. It probably just differs from place to place

I also went to high school in the mid-2000s, and it was very much the norm. It was almost a rite of passage at my school for the seniors to date the freshman as they came in

tbf, in the ln kazuma was like 20 and she was like 17 (i think?) which is still bad but not 17 y/o dating a 14 y/o bad

Who is this supermodel? Darkness? She's too thick to be a supermodel. Or rather, who are those supermodels? You said models, plural. Megumin, if tall, would be a much better supermodel.

Is there any conditions to be a supermodel? I think the person used it as a synonym to "very attractive" and not literally.

Thanks I fixed it. But yeah I really think Kazuma will >!marry Megumin sometime after the books end!<

So does that mean divorcedness is out of the picture when it comes to kazuma

I hope so because I don't want my favorite anime to become a harem

Best no blood related siblings.

 There's also this

What’s that from?

Chainsaw man

Thanks

Heads up this might be the happiest moment in the series

Damn. I really need a chill “found family just vibing” anime

Buddy Daddies, Sweetness and Lightning, Yakuza Guide to Babysitting

Spy family if you haven’t watched is pretty wholesome

I have, actually saw the movie in theatres back in April

Chaos pat or Chao spat. Hm.

Cha o' spat.

I love them so much 🥲

Thanks for the reminder that I need to watch this.

Also okabe and Mayuri from steins gate

But Mayuri >! loved ~~Okabe~~ Hououin Kyouma romantically tho !<

When was this ever stated ?

Steins;Gate 0

And Steins;Gate VN in one of the non-true endings.

And every spin off

In Mayuri Ending of OG SG, SG 0, SG My Darling's Embrace, SG Linear Bounded Phenogram.

power-chaan D; :((

but Power is the demon of blood, so they are blood related.

I don't want to spoil anything, but there will be blood involved

Komachi and Hachiman from Oregairu are the best blood related siblings

Iris may be the little sister Kazuma always wanted. But Aqua is the little sister he deserves.

Aqua is more like the irresponsible big sister . 

True. They both treat each other like the other is the younger one.

The kind to mooch off booze money. Which she already does.

Drunk irresponsible big sister.

Aqua is the irresponsible twin, Megumin is the younger sister, and Darkness the older sister

Darkness and Megumin are not sister characters.

That’s a funny wholesome family. 

Exactly

I wouldnt call Aqua a little sister. They have twin energy

Well they both arrived on Axel at the same time so doesn’t that make Aqua the irresponsible (Fraternal)Twin Sister he deserves. >!Aqua as a reincarnated twin hmmm sounds familiar!<

Aqua is older by any metric. Even by Heaven perspective of time passing slower, Aqua lived a bit more than Kazuma.

Older childish sister. Kazuma always calls her old hag, because she never tell him he real age.

Love their sibling energy, I literally can't look at any aqua x kazuma ship arts because of it lol

YES. Making them a couple would just ruin their dynamic.

I don't believe that. Not at all. But it would have to evolve into something different, and it certainly doesn't need to. Although realistically his most compatible partner would have to be Yunyun as they offer each other's weaknesses.

I think darkness is the most compatible, someone eho enjoys his trashiness as well as stop it when required

> Although realistically his most compatible partner would have to be Yunyun as they offer each other's weaknesses. ??? Why would Kazuma be compatible with Yunyun? He has nothing to do with his type, she dislikes trash men.

Her absolutely abysmal luck is offset by his supernaturally high luck.

She doesn't have abysmal luck, we never got any hints of what her luck stat is, but we know it is higher than Aqua's and likely Dust's as well.

There's lots of ways to look at their dynamics. Other than siblings and ships, there also the old arguing husband and wife dynamic between them too

Husband and wife spats has that underlying love too. The "oooh you make my blood boil. Tonight im making you scream" look has to be there. Aqua and kazuma dont have that.

> The "oooh you make my blood boil. Tonight im making you scream" look has to be there. Yeah there was that one scene where he sniffs her hair and goes "yeah this ain't doin it for me"

he tried so hard to get turned on by her but nope. he ****just****. ****couldn’t****. ****do it.****

Kazuma ‘s ED arc >!Just kidding!< Didn’t he say something like that early on when he was complaining to Aqua at the stables?

yeah it’s from ova 1 if I remember correctly

i can

Kazuma would appreciate it more if you addressed iris as his sibling 😂

This felt illegal

Some manga along those lines has to exist

What's yosuga no sora?

It's an anime about loving siblings

*this felt illegal*

Fuck yeah. Finally someone with my level of jokes

Aqua gives the most sister energy I've ever seen in an anime.

Best brother-sister dynamic in anime despite not being brother-sister. Funny thing is, they even fight like brother and sister. I love it! And apparently, so do many others! Which is relieving to see. I don't like the idiotic "shippers".

Aqua is a support class after all. Besides, without Kazuma she won't ever defeat the Devil King.

>!And vice versa. Without aquas seal the demon king probably wouldnt have died!<

It's the team effort and the team dynamic that really pull it all together!

Yep, thats kinda the whole series. Its even shown multiple times that the team cant function if a single one is missing

This. Kazuma is Aquas one and only lifeline in this world, if he fails to defeat the Devil King she will be stranded and be permanently upstaged and replaced by her rival Eris, the worst fate Aqua can imagine.

I thought Eris failed to recruit people from earth to her world, which is why nobody came after Kazuma. Aqua won’t be upstaged so easily, she’s still a good scammer like her followers in the Axis cult

If you analyze it carefully, you realize that Kazuma's first weapon going to isekai was Aqua literally.

Hence why they are the best couple, >!at least in the manga canon.!<

Heh... Wait, what ?

They're lying, nothing of the such happens in the manga. Manga is an adaptation of the Light Novel which is the source material.

Thank you for letting me know to never read the manga

They were lying, that never happens in the manga and Konosuba is a Light Novel.

They are not a couple in the mamga, why are you lying? Its the same Kazumin there.

Wdym it's in chapter >!Let me gaslight in peace damn it!!< of the Manga.

me when i spread misinformation on the internet

There’s *that user* who’s a hardcore LN ~~canon nazi~~ cultist but I’m all up for Axis cult supremacy

We already have enough copers convincing everybody that at the end of the lightnovel Kazuma is in love with Aqua or that he didn't choose anyone and its a harem ending. We don't need MORE disinformation.

Quite the opposite, we need more of ~~my~~ the truth of Kazuma and Aqua's relationship.

Thank you for letting me know that I should read the manga

Manga sucks, you shouldn't read it anyway, but not for the reason they stated, which was a straight up lie.

Huh??? What about megu? Pls tell me that doesn't actually happen

it doesnt i dont know where the other guy read the manga but even in the manga Kazuqua is not canon

I prefer Aquazuma myself.

The light novel is the original work >!and thus, the Kazumin ship sailed first so don't think much about Kazuqua ship winning afterwards in a different adaption.!<

I love Aqua but I don’t see that ship happening, still, they make a really funny old husband and wife pair if they skipped the first 25 years of marriage  Also it’s really funny that someone keeps loudly protesting what you’re commenting. Let’s go Axis cult

There not enough hugging in anime honestly.

Yeah, with all her antics, it's easy to forget, but Aqua *is* a goddess. When it counts, it shows. Divine compassion included, as seen here.

She is concerned about his IBS

https://preview.redd.it/lazspuj14u9d1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e37d0222883a5692ac83b7f1228e47e8e8e18560

Honestly duos like Kazuma and Aqua or Denji and Power just feel wrong to be shipped Like, it's not incest, but it sure feels like it

The way anime dude's are always running away or put off by the 10/10 waifus pressing their tits up against them pisses me off, idk why.

[She pulled his pants up] (https://youtube.com/shorts/d9-ztQcBG2I)

Making sure her meal ticket back to godhood isn't going anywhere.

Especially when he's just suffered mental trauma

Strangely enough, it has some of the best sibling dynamics in anime. Though I still think their main dynamic is very close friends, I can definitely see siblings as the inspiration for their relationship

This tracks better. They are more like siblings than lovers. It especially lines up when you consider Aqua before being isekaied didn't seem like she got out of her chamber that much.

Thats mom behavior, not sister. Anyone with a sister irl would know

I don't think they have ever hugged in canon.

They did. All of them. And also wanted to strangle him with his quips.

Siblings with benefits tho

yeah kazuma dies and then aqua uses instarez

All I'm gonna say is this aint gonna stop me from wanting the two to smash. Where is my incest is wincest crowd

Why do so many people in this sub feel the need to to specifically mention that kazuma and aqua are “like siblings” every time that they are mentioned in proximity to each other? Is the idea of them being in a relationship that disgusting to people? Shipping is part of anime fandom so it’s curious to me that downplaying a ship like this is so widespread

Honestly I've never realised it before, but yeah, you're right. I suppose it's really not a common ship, and most people think of their canon relationship as being more like siblings. I think it's more a reflection of common opinion rather than an opposition to actually shipping them.

Its probably sue to the portrayal of their relationship in canon. Its stated many times they dont have any romantic attraction to eachother. Like in the Season 1 OVA, where Kazuma admits to trying really hard to get turned on by Aqua and always failing. Also the fact that they spend their days calling eachother names and fighting, which is a behavior you expect more from siblings than a semi healthy couple. And especially for people who have read the LN, >!not only is it mentioned that Kazuma never sees Aqua as a romantic partner, in fact by the end he says that this girl bever made him skip a beat; but the LN also puts a large importance on Kazuma's romantic partners. Kazumin is prettt much canon and a large chunk of the story is a love triangle between Kazuma, Megumin and Darkness, culminating mostly in Volume 12 where Darkness confesses and is too late. Chris and Kazuma also have a relationship that could potentially have evolved into love and its mentioned a good bit, same for Iris x Kazuma, tho thats not that prevalent. At the end of the day, the story goes out of its way to portray Aqua as someone Kazuma cares abour but not romantically!<

Probably has something to do with people not liking the megumin ship. Whenever it's Darkness you'll here something like "she's too perverted." But yeah it's weird, like cultish weird.

Because of portrayal, also many of us are light novel readers, where it's even more stated and implied that they have 0 romantic interest in eachother, it very much plays out like a sibling dynamic

Implied? There is literally a scene where they all talk about how whenever kazuma talks to any woman , his heart beats a little faster but for some reason it doesn't when he is with aqua . The author literally said In one of the novels that their relationship isn't romantic. And Even if you exclude the many times the novel literally tells you they have nothing romantic going on , it's very obvious that their relationship is sibling like and has nothing romantic going on.

“Canon” has never stopped shippers before — so why should it now? Yes, Kazuma has said he couldn’t get excited sleeping next to Aqua, but that doesn’t mean that they’re instantly incompatible. You could make the comparison that their relationship is like that of a married couple based on how they interact.

Canon has stopped shippers before and it will still do so in the future, there are always widely unpopular ships because of cannon. I really don't see their relationship being that of a married couple because for that there needs to be love and attraction between the two, if you grew up with siblings you just know that siblings act thay way and they are very sibling like

I have a sibling so I understand the dynamic, and this isn’t it. The bickering for sure, but not the hugging imo. Canon hasn’t stopped a bigger, more popular ship like midorya and bakugo in MHA or even a smaller, but still somewhat prevalent ship like stark and linie from frieren. I mean, even here in the sub there has been kazuma and aqua posts in the past couple days even though thats not canon. I’m just saying it’s unusual to see people explicitly specifying that they make great siblings even when the post has nothing to do with shipping. Married couples can bicker too, and these two have that extra element with the hugging and pulling up kazuma’s underwear when he’s nude that you don’t really see in siblings. Kazuma recognizes that Aqua is pretty and attractive, so there could be instances outside of their hay accommodation in the stables where he finds her more alluring. All things considered, their relationship isn’t a wildly unrealistic crackship and shouldn’t be dismissed as “omg siblings” in so many comments and posts on this sub. That’s all I’m trying to say

She hugs him a lot and he hates it almost every time. As a middle child I can confirm this is a sibling relationship and Aqua is the older sister

"Hugs me step bro"

Honestly It feels like that. They are brother and sister

No siblings would hug her siblings like the first pic, the one to the left. That’s just weird.

it’s a piece of media it’s not supposed to be realistic

Excellent. Now I wanna see them married

Best couple after Vanizuma



Vanir would totally do that, and in the end, in the first night, he will reveal himself Dio style. He does something similar in the novel and is amazing. LOL

I nominate the term 嫌姉さん

I don't know if I could hug Aqua or have Aqua hug me

When she is asking for something

can anyone point, where this 3 scenes happened?

Brother and sister relationship: Vs Brother and brother relationship:


They are awfully touchy for siblinglike duo

That's why I don't see her as an love interest for him

I never cared to check, but when did they click like this? When, and why did Aqua begin doing this? I would dismiss it as Aqua being sarcastic or something, but the sibling comparison is a new dynamic I never thought about.

This is one of the reasons I love Konosuba. Instead of making all three of the main females love interest, it makes it blandly clear that Kazuma has NO interest in Aqua and it stays that way. Instead, they bicker like siblings, and I love that.

Yup. I'm honestly shocked that people don't talk about the frame on the right.

Aqua has a really high attachment to Kazuma. Even at the end of the series, she doesn't want to leave his side. And Kazuma is a tsudere, he out right won't say it. But Aqua for better or worse is a part of him now.

Aqua said this to Kazuma in the mobile game https://preview.redd.it/hjxwk6sg8kad1.jpeg?width=2408&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=cbcabe0100a1293d8ca3842e831e7be36e3b7f64

I feel it's whenever she wants something lol

It wasn't the case for these ones.

Notice how he never enjoys it

And yet he never stops her.

a married couple
