Worldbuilding is one of Konosuba’s best aspects; in fact, you can almost consider the strong worldbuilding as a parody aspect considering that most fantasy isekai build their world like a 4-year-old builds with Legos. Most things are unexplained and the viewer is supposed to just accept current aspects of the series without any explanation. The Megumin spin-off explains aspects of the original series that were considered commonplace. Some examples include: Crimson Demons perform introductions because they are taught in school that being cool is half the battle of casting magic. Chomusuke is half of a devil king’s general and was brought in by Komekko for lunch. The Axis cult learned its tactics from Megumin and Yunyun. Aside from this, the Megumin spin-off also provides a lot of easter eggs for those that astutely watched the main series. The series understands well that it is a prequel, so it makes no mistake in adding things that the viewer will recognize and enjoy as a fan of the series.
