This last episode provides a conclusion to story threads that have been built up since the first season, as well as some surprising reveals along the way.
The final episode of KonoSuba's third season concludes a triumphant return for this landmark isekai comedy, with what might be the show's best collection of story arcs. The humor has been incredibly on point, but there are plenty of exciting action scenes and heartfelt emotional beats too. This season was an absolute return to form for the series, and a fourth season is hopefully not too far away.
KonoSuba: 7 Characters With The Best Designs, Ranked
Be it from an aesthetic or personality standpoint, these characters in KonoSuba stand out for their unique and memorable designs.
Running Away With The Bride
Kazuma Crashes The Wedding
A teary-eyed Darkness tries to warn Kazuma that interrupting the wedding would make him an enemy of Lord Alderp, and that he's a fool for doing such a risky thing. Kazuma cuts her off and calls her an idiot for trying to shoulder his debt without telling him. Alderp reminds Kazuma that Darkness is two billion eris in debt to him, and that he'd better be ready to pay that sum if he wants to take her away. Kazuma calls his bluff and unveils a massive sum of eris, hidden within a nearby vase.
The guests all rush to the giant pile of gold to grab as much of it as they can, prompting a panicked Alderp to join the mob. Darkness wants to know where all the money came from, and Kazuma admits that he could only get all this money thanks to pooling all of his assets with the money he earned by selling his intellectual properties to Vanir. He then insists that he is certain to make sure Darkness pays him back, so he doesn't want to hear any more arguments. Despite this, Alderp still doesn't want to let Darkness go, and demands his guards capture them. Kazuma and Aqua use his impression of Alderp to get past the first wave of guards, while Megumin and Yunyun arrive to save them from one of the more monstrous guards.
Megumin is happy to see that Kazuma managed to stop the wedding, and threatens Alderp and his guards with a charged-up Explosion ready to go. Alderp attempts to bribe the nearby adventurers, but they refuse to help, since they are friends with Darkness. As more guards arrive, Megumin starts to lose control of her Explosion. She ultimately lets it loose over the town, managing to suppress it just enough to avoid destroying it. With everyone else cowering from the possible fallout, Kazuma and the party make their getaway.

A Happy Ending, And Comeuppance
The Opposite Fates Of The Bride And Groom
Darkness and her party head to the Dustiness mansion, where they meet with her ailing father. Darkness's father is happy to see that the wedding was called off, and asks Kazuma to take care of his daughter. As Darkness and her father say their final farewells, Aqua uses Sacred Break Spell to dispel the curse cat on Darkness's father, which was what was causing his illness in the first place. With Darkness's father no longer in danger of dying, the two cower in embarrassment over the things they said to each other.
Meanwhile, Alderp is back in his mansion, furiously beating the servant from before, revealed to be a demon named Maxwell. Alderp summoned him with a Divine Treasure and wanted to use his ability to take Darkness for himself. He demands that he get Darkness back, and when he hears Darkness's voice from behind the door, he believes that she has actually returned. However, he is tricked by Vanir, who reveals that he orchestrated this entire situation to save Maxwell from his contract. Maxwell, now free to take his payment from Alderp, plans on pulling out as much negative energy as he can as part of his payment.

Life Goes On
Everyday Life Adventuring In Axel Returns
Darkness informs Kazuma and the others, who were preparing to run away, that Alderp has mysteriously disappeared. At the same time, evidence of his various misdeeds and crimes has cropped up, and it has been discovered that he was the one who gave Iris the Body-Swapping Necklace. With Alderp gone, Kazuma and the others are safe to stay in Axel, and Kazuma will even get the money he used to buy Darkness back. Darkness, however, still feels bad about having left the party beforehand, but Kazuma, Megumin, and Aqua all tell Darkness not to worry, and happily invite her back into the party.
As peace returns to the town, Kazuma and his party return to daily life as adventurers in Axel. As they hang out in the guild, Megumin and Aqua discover that Darkness tried to make a move on Kazuma when he snuck into her mansion earlier. As Darkness tries to explain the situation, Kazuma realizes that technically, Darkness's marriage to Alderp actually went through, though with his disappearance, she was essentially abandoned. Realizing that in the eyes of the law she is essentially a divorcee, Kazuma jokingly calls Darkness "Divorcedness."
