Yunyun (ゆんゆん) is a character of the KonoSuba series. She is a member and future chief of the Crimson Demons, as well as a friend and self-proclaimed rival to Megumin.

Appearance[]

Yunyun is a young girl with crimson-colored eyes, a determined and quiet look, and longish black hair (dark brown in anime) tied in two twin-tails with ribbons that lie on her shoulders. She is a little taller than Megumin, with more balanced proportions.[2]

Yunyun usually wears a black robe and mantle, similar in design to Megumin’s. She wields a silver wand and wears a dagger in her hip. Underneath the mantle, she wears a low-cut blouse, and an ultra-short, pink miniskirt as well as a pair of dark toned pink stockings and brown boots. She wears the revealing outfit, however, not because of personal preference, but because Dust tricked her into thinking it is a good way to make friends.

Also never shown visually, she is known to have a barcode on her inner thigh.

Personality[]

Unlike other Crimson Demons, Yunyun is a very sensitive and timid, who gets embarrassed and upset easily. Because of her shyness and common sense, she was ostracized by her clan, who see her as a weirdo, never developing any social skills, and becaming a loner who usually spends the whole day in the Guild playing games, even two-player ones, all by herself.

For such reason, Yunyun is desperately looking for friends, often stalking those she wants to befriend and making up excuses to hang out with them, as she lacks confidence to directly ask them to hang out or any sort of favor. Yunyun is also very unlucky, as she is nowhere to be found when someone is either looking for her or just menaging to befriend with suspicious people like Dust. In the anime, Yunyun also compulsively lies in order to hide the fact she is a loner.

Futhermore, due to her poor communication skills, Yunyun is often misinterpreted by those around her. She became famous in Axel for rescuing beginner adventurers in trouble, but since she always runs off apologizing for "doing something unnecessary" instead of stick around and being thanked, people started to leave her alone on purpose to show gratitude, believing Yunyun dislikes to associate with others.[3]

Although she is very smart, even by the Crimson Demons' standard, because of her lack of social skills and interpersonal relationships, Yunyun is very naive, being easily manipulated by those who declare themselves her friends.[4] She is also too gentle to refuse anything to those who ask her.[5]

Yunyun also has low self-esteem, often seeing herself as boring and a nuisance to others, with low standards for a possible partner and friends, trying to not just be friends with animals or plants, but even trying to summon a demon to be her friend.[6] She is also a crybaby, always falling into tears when upset, like when Yunyun is defeated or humiliated by her rival, or if someone denies her friendship request.[3]

However, Yunyun is a obliging, as she always helps those around her, in addition to support and try to straighten Megumin out. Yunyun is also very devoted, striving to become a suitable Village Chief and keeping her clan's traditions, like the chuuni self-presentation, although such traditions make her die of embarrassment.

Abilities[]

Because she is a prodigy in the Crimson Demon tribe, Yunyun is a very talented spellcaster, just losing for Megumin in magical talent.

Trivia[]

  • Yunyun is considered one of the very few genuinely kind characters within the Konosuba franchise. She has no ulterior motives, is completely selfless and has gained a lot of sympathy from the fandom due to her loneliness and ill treatment by the main cast.
  • As was shown through the memory orb in Volume 3, Yunyun celebrates her birthday by herself, including buying and giving herself presents, alongside setting up a whole party, despite the fact that she was the only person there.
    • Yunyun's birthday is on 29th February.[8]
  • Yunyun often plays two player games by herself, such as chess or checkers, and switches seats to act as the second player.
  • Although she is an extremely talented adventurer, Yunyun has never been able to join any party due to her extreme social anxiety and inability to ask people if she can join. She will often run away when a party she saves tries to thank her or ask her to join their group. It is implied that Kazuma and Dust would happily accept Yunyun into their own respective parties, if she would only ask them.
  • Like all members of the Crimson Magic Clan, Yunyun has a birthmark in the shape of a barcode located somewhere on her body. Megumin eventually reveals that Yunyun's birthmark is on her inner thigh very close to her crotch, much to the latter girl's embarrassment.
  • Yunyun is extremely ticklish.
  • Although it later turned out to be due to a complete misunderstanding, Yunyun was the first female character in the franchise to express an interest in having Kazuma's child.
  • According to Megumin, Soketto, the Crimson Magic Village's fortune teller, foretold that Yunyun's future husband/lover would be an extremely lazy man when rich and proactive when poor. As such, fans tend to believe that Yunyun will eventually become the wife/lover of either Kazuma or Dust.
  • Kazuma had once commented that the name "Yunyun" sounds like one given to a Panda.[9]
  • In the initial web novel, Yunyun not only had no friends in her village, but got ostracised by the villagers.

Quotes[]

  • [After Kazuma invites her to dinner at the mansion] “C-Can I?! But having dinner together feels like a family affair, so I feel like I shouldn’t be here, actually in the first place visiting this late is my fault, so, sorry, Kazuma-san, but showing up at a friend’s house uninvited and joining them for dinner is, ah, no, it’s not like I dislike it, actually I’m really happy that you invited me and-”
  • "I want to have Kazuma-san’s children"
