Like any good story, KONOSUBA -God’s blessing on this wonderful world! starts out totally low-key and gradually intensifies from there. Alright, I can’t even pretend that’s remotely true, but if there’s one thing we’ve scientifically determined, it’s that Aqua’s already pretty crazy facial expressions get even crazier over time. 

 

If you haven’t watched this delightfully ridiculous anime in a while, or at all — seriously, now’s a great time to start! — we’ve got the overview you’ve been dying to see: Every crazy Aqua face in KONOSUBA! These are in chronological order, starting with KONOSUBA Season 1, Episode 1, and moving all the way through the finale of Season 2 and including both OVAs. Truly, this gallery is a blessing on OUR wonderful world. 

 

WARNING: There WILL be KONOSUBA spoilers, in that we WILL spoil all of Aqua's absurd reactions. 

 

Aqua Ramps Up in KONOSUBA Season 1

 

How else should a goddess — useless or not — react after finding out the ridiculously embarrassing way our lead protagonist Kazuma died? Getting isekai’d may sound like fun, but not when it comes at the cost of your dignity. Aqua eventually composes herself, but it isn’t long until we’re treated to a season full of absurd reactions and unforgettable faces.

… but you’re all about a good ol’ prison break:

 

 

When the court seizes your most prized possessions (seriously, I was gonna drink that well-aged booze!):

 

 

When Kazuma’s new snipe skill is all that stands between you and another toad’s belly:

No, seriously, Kazuma’s a shameless cheater! 

 

 

It’s gotta be some kind of special cheating ability! Quit pulling my cheeks!

Especially when they accuse you of working for the Devil King and kick off a literal witch hunt: 

 

 

ABORT! ABORT!!

 

 

When you finally find the source of all your haters:
