The Cinderella play hits a few snags because Ram, Darkness, and Megumin cannot let go of their personality flaws, but the play eventually finishes. Aqua creates a flood that Emilia and Puck freezes to immobilize Destroyer, allowing Albedo, Viktoriya, and Filo to heavily damage it. To Aqua's surprise, Destroyer displays some new techniques like missiles from its legs and laser eye beams. Albedo and Viktoriya try to block the lasers with a barrier, but start to get overwhelmed until Raphtalia steps in to absorb them with her sword. Aqua finishes off Destroyer with her God Blow attack. The next day, Class 2 is irritated that they did not get any reward, but Roswaal tells them they can only change the future if they truly come together. The class asks what he means, but he tells them class is in session.

Reception

Gadget Tsūshin listed "beautiful Megumin"[lower-alpha 2] in their 2019 anime buzzwords list.[26]
