They may have been “rivals” in the KonoSuba anime, but in the KonoSuba Explosion spin-off, Megumin and Yunyun are basically a couple, as explained by their respective voice actresses.
In the latest entry in Animate Times’ interview series for the show, Megumin and Yunyun VAs Rie Takahashi and Aki Toyosaki shared their thoughts on the anime’s later episodes.
There, they shared some of their favorite scenes, as well as their feelings on Megumin and Yunyun’s couple-like relationship.
KonoSuba Explosion: Are Megumin and Yunyun a Couple?
While the KonoSuba Explosion spin-off is far from a yuri anime, some fans are feeling a strong couple vibe from Megumin and Yunyun.
This is quite a departure from their interactions in the main KonoSuba anime. After all, they’re constantly seen bickering when Megumin finally joined Kazuma’s party, at least that’s when Megumin doesn’t ignore her.
But in this spin-off, it’s shown that Megumin and Yunyun were quite close during their younger days, with the two being supportive of each other despite their status as rivals.
In a way, there is an undeniable couple vibe between the two, but not in a romantic sense. Instead, there is a strong feeling of closeness between the two, at least in certain scenes.
During most of the show’s episodes though, the two typically bicker like an old married couple. Though it’s more accurate to say that the bickering is more on Megumin’s side while Yunyun tries her best to adapt to her friend’s schemes.

Megumin and Yunyun VAs Share Their Thoughts on the Adorable Duo
This dynamic between the two Crimson Demon Clan members is one of the main appeals of the show according to their respective VAs.
In their latest Animate Times interview, Rie Takahashi and Aki Toyasaki specifically mentioned that the ending of Episode 6 when Megumin said goodbye to Yunyun solidified their relationship.
Toyosaki said that scene stood out for her as Megumin and Yunyun seemed like a couple there. Takahashi agreed, saying that there was some feeling swirling between them that she can’t put into words.
Given these developments, it’ll be interesting to see how else the spin-off will explore their relationship, especially considering their current dynamic in the main KonoSuba anime.
New episodes of KonoSuba: An Explosion on This Wonderful World are released every week on Crunchyroll.
