Canvas Ended. Who is this? - Lemmy.World

Canvas.Fediverse.Events ended, and this caught my eye. She looks familiar. Who is this character from?

She’s Pico, from the “Boku no Pico Academia” native isekai cartoon. :^)

[I’m joking. As others answered, the character is Megumin, from KonoSuba. A chuuni who knows only a single magic, Explosion, that often hits her own allies. I recommend the show, by the way, even for people who aren’t into isekai.]

There are so many words that I don’t understand
  • Megumin = the character
  • KonoSuba = the anime series (the actual title is rather long)
  • chuuni = basically a delusional teen who sees the world through rather coloured glasses. (I’m being simplistic)
  • isekai = stories where the main protagonist (not Megumin in this case, but her friend Kazuma) is sent to another world, often a fantasy one (that’s the case here).
Kono Subarashii Sekai ni Shukufuku wo!

After dying a laughable and pathetic death on his way back from buying a game, high school student and recluse Kazuma Satou finds himself sitting before a beautiful but obnoxious goddess named Aqua. She provides the NEET with two options: continue on to heaven or reincarnate in every gamer's dream—a real fantasy world! Choosing to start a new life, Kazuma is quickly tasked with defeating a Demon King who is terrorizing villages. But before he goes, he can choose one item of any kind to aid him in his quest, and the future hero selects Aqua. But Kazuma has made a grave mistake—Aqua is completely useless! Unfortunately, their troubles don't end here; it turns out that living in such a world is far different from how it plays out in a game. Instead of going on a thrilling adventure, the duo must first work to pay for their living expenses. Indeed, their misfortunes have only just begun! [Written by MAL Rewrite]

TIL chuuni!

[chuuni mode] WAHAHA! By being open to the depths of weaboo culture, you unlocked your evil eye and you’re now able to appraise its arcane terminology! [/chuuni mode]

Serious now. As I was looking for a good/succinct definition of chuuni, I found this Wikipedia article, with a great example of a Western chuuni: Don Quixote. Like, he’s considerably older than you’d expect from a chuuni, but it’s the same sort of delusion as them!

Chūnibyō - Wikipedia

That’s the same link as you posted earlier, but I already know who you’re talking about and totally get it!
That’s what happens when you post sleep-deprived… thanks for pointing out.
