Four new guest voice cast members have been unveiled for the KonoSuba: God’s Blessing on this Wonderful World! 3 -Bonus Stage- OVA. The OVA consisted of two unaired episodes from season three and screened in Japanese theaters for two weeks starting March 14, 2025. The episodes will be released on Blu-ray/DVD in Japan on April 25, 2025.
The four cast members will be featured in one of the OVA episodes “Nisemono Chui!” as knockoff versions of the main characters (from left to right), which include:
- • Tetsu Inada as Ozuma
- • Manaka Iwami as Aqua
- • Rumi Okubo as Megumi
- • Ayako Kawasumi as Luckless
Meanwhile, the anime’s main voice cast stars:

The third season staff are returning to work on the OVAs, which include Takaomi Kanasaki (director of Season 1, 2, Legend of Crimson) as chief director, Yujiro Abe (Konosuba: An Explosion on This Wonderful World!) as director, Makoto Uezu (returning from previous instalments) as series screenwriter, and Koichi Kikuta (returning from previous instalments) as character designer. Drive is handling the animation production, as it did with season three.
Drive also previously produced the adaptation of 2023’s Konosuba: An Explosion on This Wonderful World! Spin-off anime series. Studio Deen produced the first two KonoSuba seasons, which premiered in 2016 and 2017. J.C.STAFF produced 2019’s KonoSuba: God’s Blessing on this Wonderful World Legend of Crimson anime film. An anime sequel was recently announced earlier this month.
The anime adaptations are based on the isekai comedy light novel series, written by Natsume Akatsuki and illustrated by Kurone Mishima. It was published under the Kadokawa Sneaker Bunko label from October 1, 2013 to May 1, 2020, releasing 17 volumes and three short story anthologies in total.
KonoSuba began as a Shosetsuka ni Naro web novel on December 20, 2012 and ended on October 21, 2013. The light novels have inspired a manga adaptation by Masahito Watari and several spin-off titles.
Yen Press licensed the KonoSuba light novels and manga adaptation for release in English, describing the main synopsis as:
Game loving shut-in Kazuma Sato’s life as a young schoolboy in Japan abruptly comes to an early end…or at least it was supposed to. When he opens his eyes, though, he sees a beautiful goddess that offers him a once in an after-lifetime chance to be reborn in a parallel world. The catch is that the world is violent and threatened by a growing evil! Fortunately, he can choose any one thing to bring with him. So he chooses the goddess, Aqua! And so his adventure with his gorgeous companion begins–if he could just get enough money and food to survive, keep his goddess out of trouble, and avoid grabbing the attention of the Demon King’s army!
