>anime tells you she's useless and dumb>she is actually the most useful character in the entire party, basically the reason why they can get away with risking their lives, and all the villains fear herAqua is the quintessential example.
>>287088076Examples of this? Pretty sure the party can get away without her
She's not even powerfulLiterally megumin is more powerful than herWhat are even aqua's attacks?
>>287088076Aqua isn't misunderstood by non-retards.What you described is the obvious gimmick to her character that's a uniform theme with all the main party.They have detrimental character flaws that offset their potential usefulness that offset their character flawsAqua is a lazy and retarded wine-o, but she has healing, purification, anti-undead, and God BlowDarkness is a degenerate masochist who can't hit anything, but she can aggro and tank all dayMegumin is incredibly powerful, but she's a retarded chuuni with 1 cast/dayKazuma is seemingly lacking as a traditional hero, but he knows how to coordinate the retards to get things done and can occasionally be useful.
>>287088081If it weren't for Aqua, Kazuma would've died 3 times in season 1 and 2 times in season 2.Aqua can turn undead.Aqua can destroy one undead with one God Punch. She destroyed the skeletal guy in Isekai Quartet and she could do the same if she wanted to in the KonoSuba world.Aqua can exorcise demons, strong enough to beat Vanir too.Aqua can cure poison.Aqua can cast various buffs.Aqua can reflect spells at her opponents.Aqua can create water.Aqua purifies any liquid that comes in contact with her body automatically.Aqua's bodily liquid alone damages undead.Aqua is a muse of the arts who could earn a living just by being an artist. That is on top of her mesmerizing Nature's Beauty.Aqua is a skilled laborer, she can repair damage caused by Explosion magic.Aqua's location or thoughts cannot be divined, and she cannot be mind manipulated.Touching her alone causes pain to the undead and her MP/HP cannot be drained.Aqua speaks Japanese, Konosuba language, the language of spirits and the language of elmentals.How you like them apples?>>287088134She doesn't need anything other than God Blow.
