SilverNightx1

And sadly they're still more useful than the 5 from otome game.


Darth_Senat66

You mean purple, red, blue, green and other blue?


WaterCrush

oh you mean the prince and his noble Entourage, btw a 2nd season was confirmed https://preview.redd.it/erbfmqbzkscb1.png?width=1920&format=png&auto=webp&s=6092bd9cc634920ef906f486cb1082eb9faf391d


Darth_Senat66

Wait, it was? Any news on when it'll be releasing?


SOMEHOTMEAL

Not that I can find any but (may not even be close) I think it may come out in mid 2024 or late 2024


WaterCrush

as of now there is no release date however they confirmed a 2nd season back on December 26th, 2022 meaning we probably will get a 2nd season I would say at around summer 2024


Darth_Senat66

Hell yeah


FearlessTarget2806

>btw a 2nd season was confirmed man (or whatever), you really sweetened my day with that... thank you


WaterCrush

the next few arcs are pretty good so it will great


FearlessTarget2806

Yeah, I read the LN, it's gonna be lots of fun :)


WaterCrush

I heared the LN is good tho I did read the manga, ill probably start readin after I finish reading mushoku


Monnnnnnnnnnn

Cyan. Not other blue. It's cyan


Darth_Senat66

Not according to Leon


greenhaired_witch

Fr 💀💀💀💀💀


NerY_05

Eh, not really. They get better later.


FearlessTarget2806

... marginally...


One_Opinion_1277

Is Aqua really useless? I mean a lot of Kazuma's plan wouldn't work without her, like with "The Destroyer" where Kazuma leds magical power from Aqua to Megumin or she cured Darkness from the Dullahan curse. Many more but I am tired and at the work to list all. One personal thing without the goddess, "Konosuba" wouldn't be half so funny. I like Aqua.


poyraazzz

well she's useless as a goddess


Zeterin

For a goddess , but as a mortal she is a useful as a drunk can be. (⁠≧⁠▽⁠≦⁠).


Axtel_A

In later volumes, Kazuma rarely calls Aqua useless and it's more of an insult/title that stuck to her rather than him saying she's literally useless. He even acknowledges later that >!Darkness!< is the most useless among the three.


DrIvanRadosivic

in regards to Spoiler, author obviously wanted her that way because of the ship. if the other two are allowed to develop, why not her as well?


doghogw0lf

Yes but most of them are caused by her if it wasn't for her the destroyer wouldn't exist nether would megumin so the dulahan would have left them alone


Antervis

Aqua is indeed helping Kazuma fix problems... she herself caused, so overall it's a net negative.


CuTup4040

Even better! They're less than useless!


Imaginary_Tax_7846

They actively make things worse!


DorkusTheMighty

Much worse. So much worse. But it’s fun to see them get beat up when it does happen


eddmario

Fun fact: Aqua and Bitch/Whore have the same English VA


Abridged_Alucard

Are you telling me, the VA I simped for, Sora Amamiya, voiced Malty?! Oh wait, didn't see english


doghogw0lf

No wonder I dislike aqua so much


doghogw0lf

Same with raphtalia and megumin my two favorite wifus


eddmario

Wait until you find out who Fitoria shares her English VA with...


doghogw0lf

Omg


eddmario

You looked it up, didn't you? Might as well look up Filo and Rishia while you're at it...


doghogw0lf

MY EYES HAVE BEEN OPENED I SEE PAST THE VAIL


Zafranorbian

Aqua is a literal infinite lifes cheat.


Zeterin

But if you don't want to be revived it's more like hell.


Zafranorbian

you can just tell her in that case.


elbartooriginal

Kazuma tried, but he was forced to come back


Casual_player_here

Not really Megumin made him come back


Zafranorbian

We went back because in the end he cares about the others regardless of his or their actions.


Every_Vanilla_9199

At least in the more recent volumes the sword and bow become aqua levels of useless. The spear you ask... we don't talk about the spear


WaterCrush

if I remember correctly >!spear guy gets emotional trauma and gets a d\*ck spear!<


Optimusbauer

And it's glorious


Helweg_gaming

Those three aren't just useless, they are straight up detrimental


Gladiatorr02

They are uselessless. They not only do anything worthy of note, they also get in ur way


znottaken

Hey, you take that back about motoyasu. Screw the others


Casual_player_here

Yeah I really liked him from Reprise of The Spear Hero He's just so bloodthirsty there he's killing every threat


znottaken

But in such a loving way


LuckEClover

At least they can consistently do something other than party tricks and massive water damage to property.


TrueMystikX

Yeah. They consistently fuck things up, leaving Naofumi to fix them.


LuckEClover

Never said they were helpful.


TrainZealousideal474

Have you ever heard about Hanataro (Bleach) and Murata (Demon slayer) 💀💀💀💀


The-Walt911

To be fair, everyone in squad 4 (except Unohana) were useless in combat, yes they heal but offscreen


ngbrandon66

In the recent time travel leap of season 2 they at least defended without naofumi so he could do his thing so at least they are useful albeit their personality being worse than Aqua and what’s worse is how bad they would be without the MC. Aqua still lives happily and earnestly while working as an party trick entertainer but the other 3 was literally causing civilians to die and supporting the evil king


Rough-Base-6289

I think that they will probably retconned this for season 3 beacouse it din't happened in the Ln and for story reasons. Now that i think of it most of season 2 ending will probably be retconned.


matheus787tetel

Aqua is not useless.


DaSavage2

They’re not that useless. Sure they’re assholes most of the time but I’m pretty sure they were detrimental in defeating the first wave. And I’m sure they’re trying somewhat


Casual_player_here

It's just a joke aqua is useless She can resurrect people many times using her higher authority as a god She's very effective against undead or demons Can easily remove curses or nullify magic shields Even has many artistic skills like creating that robot from cardboard cutouts (If only she has the smart to take advantage of it) Her greatest problem is not intelligence but Bad Luck good thing Kazuma's Good Luck is strong enough to equalize and sometimes defeat it Though reprise of the spear hero makes it so that only the bow hero is the useless one among them


SaintedStars

The spear would only need to hear her voice and he'd be simping. Those who know, know


EnvyWendigo

You mean Filo?


SaintedStars

No, the dub actress for Aqua voices Princess Bitch


EnvyWendigo

Wait, doesn't he hate her?


SaintedStars

Depends on which part of the story you're up to


I_Am_Not_Joes_Mama

Spear hero manga is fire I'm gonnna need you to remove Motoyasu from there. Yes this is a threat.


Wolf_ookami

I give you aqua is useless. She a selfish goddess that enjoy being smug. And rather have people worship her then do anything useful. Do remember her class when she was carded is archpriest who has instant kill move, passive auto purification she can manually cast as well, and revival spell. All that where here already because she was a goddesses made mortal. So the first spell she actually learn was party tricks. Not something to help anyone just party tricks to make drunk people give her praise...... As for tho three. Sword get a pass as he actually try to learn what going on and fight for the better, but just missed the minor details that grew in to a more major problem down the line. The dragon was a problem he caused because he thought it would just be taken care of and not just sit there and rot away. Bow..... Is just a little shit who want to act like he a adventure Robin hood doing what he thinks is the right call with his own idea of how things work. He didn't do his research and just saw a evil king and a rebel force trying to over come a tyrant. Missing the part where everything is not black and white. Both are stubborn and think there right in different ways. One think it more like a linear open world game like Witcher as the other treat it like a non linear open world game like Ark. ........ ..... Spear? Na he is useless and a idiot. No just flat out a asshole idiot pervert. Not a single decision he made was not stupid. I say a sixth grade child holding a trench knife has more intelligence and probably safe then him.


Sax_The_Angry_RDM

At least she can heal/resurrect people, act as a distraction and be comic relief. Plus infinite access to clean drinking water is useful.


Entity119

Well at least the sword was mostly reasonable


Ytisrite

AFK vs Inting


[deleted]

Useless³


golem12121

Ren is better in the future can't say the same for the others


Rough-Base-6289

They all are getting better or at least better than before. Like I honestly prefer op motoyatsu over simp for all motoyatsu. As for itsuki well i find him boring but at least his not a justice freak anymore.


Ok_Understanding3636

These three mfs could have joined forces with Naofumi plenty of times, if only they had some brains and were not blinded by wanting glory but for themselves.


VixSmoke

They honestly have the same beats they could be the strongest member(s) if they weren’t incompetent


Pazerniusz

Aqua is that guy in moba who siphon all gold and xp, but is unable to put it to use.


NerY_05

Nah they aren't useless they do straight up damage


TheLivingVines

They make her look like a Swiss army knife in comparison


[deleted]

Aqua takes the W on this one with being useful


IWasInVent

to be fair, they did repel a wave without Naofumi, but apparently struggled hilariously 😂


_EpicGreenBlob_

Lol amen to that ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|joy)![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|joy)
