'''''Kono Subarashii Sekai ni Shukufuku o!''''' (released in the West as '''''KonoSuba: God's Blessing on this Wonderful World!''''') is a 2013 series of light novels that has been adapted into a manga and an anime.
 
After his accidental death, the main character Kazuma is offered a chance to reincarnate to another world, where a hero is needed to defeat the evil Demon King. Kazuma is allowed to take one special thing with him , and he chooses the person making him the offer - the goddess Aqua.
 
So Kazuma and Aqua find themselves in a world that functions just like a [[RPG Mechanics Verse|roleplaying game]], two among many hopeful low-level adventurers doing quests for money and XP. Soon two new girls join in, making for an adventuring party of four.
 
'''KonoSuba: God’s Blessing on this Wonderful World!''' first began as a web novel by Jitakukeibihei on Sousetsuka ni Narou, started December 20, 2012, and ended October 21, 2013. The light novel was illustrated by Kurone Mishima and published by Kadokawa Shoten on October 1, 2013. The manga was illustrated by Mashito Watari and published by Fujimi Shobo on September 9, 2014. The anime's first 10 episode season was produced by Studio Deen and premiered on January 14, 2016, and ended March 16, 2017. The second season was produced by the same studio and premiered on January 12, 2017, and ended on March 16, 2017. A movie was produced and came out on August 20, 2019.

{{tropelist}}
* [[Affectionate Parody]]: Of roleplaying games.
* [[An Adventurer Is You]]
** Kazuma: The Jack of All Trades.
Line 17 ⟶ 16:
** Megumin: The Nuker.
** Darkness: The Tank.
* [[Alternate Realm Boon]]: Parodied with the goddess Aqua, who gives Kazuma the choice of a "cheat item" when he's brought into the world. In a fit of rage, Kazuma chooses Aqua herself, who has spent the whole time mocking him and his inglorious death, as his bonus. Another goddess recognizes it as official, only for Aqua to be [[The Load]] most of the time when not deliberately antagonizing Kazuma.
* [[Area of Effect]]: Megumin's Explosion spell.
* [[Belligerent Sexual Tension]]: Between Kazuma and Aqua.
Line 24:
* [[Character Level]]
* [[The Comically Serious]]: Megumin. She is very serious about explosions.
* [[Confessional]]: Aqua plays the role of the priest in both instances where this occurs; in one instance, Kazuma is with Aqua on her side of the booth, listening in on the conversation. In another instance, Kazuma is sick of Aqua's pretense and confesses a bunch of wrongs done against her specifically.{{context|Editor who added it doesn't recall if it was the truth - best to confirm one way or the other.}}
* [[Crater Power]]: Megumin's explosions leave [[Area of Effect|big]] craters. Not bad for a level 1 character.
* [[Crippling Overspecialization]]: Affects everyone except Kazuma.
* [[Curse]]: Darkness gets hit by a curse that leaves her only a week to live. {{spoiler|Aqua solves the dramatic situation with a quick and simple Remove Curse spell.}}
* [[Deconstructive Parody]]: Of [[Isekai]] sub-genre where an ordinary human being reincarnated as a hero in another world. The way the protagonist dies seems to parody how a character usually dies from a vehicular accident. Deconstruction comes with how NEET characters are reincarnated while Kazuma can't turn things towards his favor due to his party members.
** Another parody is how the protagonist would be a charismatic being of power in another world. Kazuma is at a nadir due to his companions and their unbalanced specialties that they are more responsibilities than benefits.
** There is also its take on the Harem Genre, where men would notice how Kazuma would be lucky to have beautiful women around him. The truth is they would be wrong, due to how they add stress due to their problematic behavior.
** Those who are familiar with Tabletop RPGs and MMORPGs would notice how Kazuma's party mirrors experience from hardcore players to casual ones, which often cause a chaotic conflict.
** There is a Take That to the Chosen One cliche in the form of Kyouya Mitsurugi. He is everything that Kazuma is not, like how he is a pretty boy who uses an overpowered weapon as his 'cheat item'. There are also two girls accompanying him who argue over Kyouya and his belief of honor. Kazuma loathes his advantages and identifies that without his weapon, he's a total fool.
* [[Ecchi]]
* [[Elemental Powers]]: Fire, water, earth, and air are the basic elements. Holy also seems to exist. Chances are that Megumin's Explosion spell deals non-elemental damage and that's one of the reasons she chose to specialize in it.
Line 50 ⟶ 56:
* [[Stone Wall]]: Darkness puts all her skillpoints each level on improving her armor. This leaves nothing for improving her attack - or anything else for that matter.
* [[Support Party Member]]: Aqua's only real offensive ability is Turn Undead.
* [[Truck-kun]]: [[Parodied]]: Kazuma ''thought'' he died because of truck-kun. In reality, it's "tractor-kun", not "truck-kun", and his cause of death was not getting ran over, but rather ''shock'' from the ''thought'' of getting run over.
* [[Turn Undead]]: Aqua's special ability.
* [[Video Game Stealing]]: The Steal skill steals a random item from the target. Kazuma learned the skill and to date has managed to steal {{spoiler|two pairs of panties, a bra, the magic sword an enemy was fighting with, and the head of a boss monster who was admittedly a dullahan.}} Kazuma's extraordinarily high [[Luck Stat]] helps a lot here.
