Konosuba’s Chaotic Crew Returns in New OVA “Bonus Stage” Now Streaming on Crunchyroll

Fans of the uproarious isekai comedy KonoSuba: God’s Blessing on This Wonderful World! can rejoice—the series’ latest OVA, titled Bonus Stage, is now streaming exclusively on Crunchyroll. Packed with the franchise’s signature blend of absurd humor and lovable chaos, this new installment follows Kazuma, Aqua, Megumin, and Darkness as they stumble into yet another misadventure, this time involving a mysterious dungeon rumored to grant “a wish to those brave (or foolish) enough to conquer it.”

The OVA’s arrival comes just weeks after Crunchyroll unveiled its official trailer, which teased everything from explosive magical mishaps to Aqua’s trademark theatrics. Fans were quick to dissect the preview, speculating about the dungeon’s ties to the Crimson Demon Clan and whether Kazuma’s “wish” might finally free him from his party’s endless shenanigans.

But the surprises don’t stop there. Bonus Stage introduces four new guest characters, including a flamboyant bard with a knack for trouble and a stoic warrior who immediately clashes with Darkness. Crunchyroll’s recent breakdown of these additions hints at their roles in derailing Kazuma’s plans, with voice actors reportedly “having a blast” recording their over-the-top interactions.

The OVA’s release also arrives on the heels of an even bigger announcement: Konosuba Season 3 is officially in production. Confirmed by Crunchyroll in a March 14 update, the upcoming season promises to adapt fan-favorite arcs from the light novels, including the much-anticipated “Royal Capital arc.” Studio Drive, returning from Season 2, teased “bigger explosions, pettier squabbles, and a certain useless goddess’s finest hour.”

For now, Bonus Stage serves as a hilarious bridge between seasons. Early viewers have praised its self-aware humor, including a meta-joke about OVA budgets and a scene where Megumin tries to teach the new characters the “art of controlled chaos.” As one fan tweeted, “It’s Konosuba at its best—no plot, all vibes, and 100% chance of Aqua crying by the end.”

Whether you’re here for the new faces, the dungeon-crawling antics, or just Kazuma’s eternal suffering, Bonus Stage is streaming now on Crunchyroll. And with Season 3 looming, it’s clear this wonderfully dysfunctional world isn’t done with us yet.
