The blonde guy that looks up to Kazuma is named Dust. He is featured more in the early manga chapters than he was in season 1. Specifically, an early chapter showed that Dust and other beginner adventurers were jealous of Kazuma's highly skilled teammates. Kazuma agrees to swap parties with Dust. Kazuma ends up being a huge asset to Dust's party and they want to keep him permanently, but he finds Dust, Aqua, Megumin, and Darkness all beat up and agrees to switch back at Dust's request. It was the chapter following the Winter Shogun chapter and it had the same theme as Kazuma's death and resurrection in that chapter, so I think they just skipped it in the anime. There is now a spinoff series where Dust is the MC.

That wizard scene was surprisingly wholesome. Aqua actually seemed competent for multiple MINUTES in a row too, unbelievable

When Aqua resolves problems on her own there is a 9/10 chance that she caused the problems herself. Most of the time she doesn’t resolve anything though and Kazuma has to clean up after her.

Weirdly enough, Aqua is actually clutch when it comes to moments that are the most important or dire. Also I don't think there is a good moment of humiliation when it comes to Darkness.
