* CatchPhrase: Tanya's "Curse you, Being X!"

* OhNoNotAgain: Tanya's first thought after dying and being reborn (followed by her CatchPhrase).

[[LoveableRogue Kazuma]] of ''Literature/KonoSuba'' finds himself reborn in the world of ''Literature/MistbornTheOriginalTrilogy'' as [[DoNotCallMePaul Reen]], older brother to the series protagonist Vin, and he quickly becomes a [[InsistentTerminology Masked Chivalrous Thief]] to support his sister and get some payback on the corrupt nobility. Meanwhile, the protagonist of ''Literature/TheSagaOfTanyaTheEvil'' finds herself sent to another world again by Truck-kun, reborn as Taniar [[NamesTheSame "Tanya"]] Tekiel, a low-ranking child in a noble house. Her status quickly rises after she is discovered to be a [[FunctionalMagic Mistborn]], and with her adult mind Tanya quickly begins leveraging her status and abilities into getting as many meat-shields as possible between her and the other Mistborn who will want to kill her for their Noble Houses.

** After burning gold and getting [[UpToEleven THREE Gold-shadows]], Tanya doesn't even mentally protest being sent to bed like a child, and breaks curfew in the night to procure some alcohol when she can't sleep.

* KilledMidsentence: The Big-Mouth girl, [[BullyingADragon who thought it would be a good idea to ambush Kazuma after he had already handed her and her group their ass on multiple occasions]], didn't even get the chance to finish threatening to harm Vin before the Adventurer vaporized her head with Lightning.

-->"[[KilledMidsentence Lightning]]." Cries rang out as Kazuma sent the spell through the girl's head, making it explode as the electricity went out the other side of her skull. In this world, no one had magic resistance of any sort, no equipment that was strong against elemental spells. Here, his spells were actually badass. "[[PreMortemOneLiner You're all dying now]]."

One thing's for sure…with these two interfering with the trilogy, there's bound to be a magnificent GambitPileup at some point!

-->Hey… I'm your onii-chan. Mom calls me Reen, but the truth is my name is really Kazuma, and [[ReincarnateInAnotherWorld I'm a hero from another world]]. I promise you I'm going to be the best onii-chan ever. [[BigBrotherInstinct No one is ever going to hurt you or make you cry or make you hungry]], and no one, is ever, ever going to treat you like a [[FantasticCasteSystem skaa]]. I promise…

* HelmetsAreHardlyHeroic: Tanya wears a wooden helmet, while Kazuma does not, and between them Kazuma is the one fighting against the fascist Final Empire…but Tanya is far more heroic than other Mistborn and Steel Ministry members who also go without helmets.

One thing’s for sure…with these two interfering with the trilogy, there’s bound to be a magnificent GambitPileup at some point!

! Examples:
* AnachronicOrder: The chapters alternate between Tanya's and Kazuma's POV, beginning with Tanya’s birth and childhood, with the next chapter showing Kazuma’s birth and childhood, and so on, even though Kazuma is the physically older of the two.

* CatchPhrase: Tanya’s “Curse you, Being X!”

* DiscardAndDraw: Tanya loses her last life’s magic, but is reborn a full Mistborn.

* EntertaininglyWrong: Tanya’s schtick, as she repeatedly misunderstands the Final Empire and its norms.

** Kazuma evades a Mistborn despite his sack of loot, [[PlayingWithFire blows her up]] mid-air, returns to his lair, and starts pouting when his sister isn’t around to hug him hello before he switches to discussing arson of the nobility.
** Tanya single-mindedly chases an infamous thief, walks into a trap, and wakes up in a foul mood, but she doesn’t take her temper out on any of her subordinates despite their similar failures to track the thief’s escape even as she worries about losing status and needing human shields against other Allomancers.

* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Tohmes may be a LazyBum, but he still handles Tanya gently in recognition of her age despite his griping, and he’s too lazy to be deliberately tyrannical to those below him.

* LazyBum: Tanya’s Mistborn teacher, Tohmes, has a particularly unacceptable vice for a Mistborn: laziness. He likes to do as little as possible, but is still industrious enough to put in a little work in the short term if it means less trouble for him in the future.

** A lot of Kazuma’s Adventurer Skills simply help him check for enemies or start campfires, but he uses them to great effect when fighting.
** Tanya receives an allowance because she’s expected to use coins for fighting. Instead of using them for their ''expected'' purpose, however, she uses them for their original purpose and purchases a large quantity of metal nails to fight with.

* NoodleIncident: One of House Tekiel’s Mistborn “died in a bizarre ball accident four years ago that they were still not quite sure hadn't been an assassination.”

* OhNoNotAgain: Tanya’s first thought after dying and being reborn (followed by her CatchPhrase).

** After burning gold and getting [[UpToEleven THREE Gold-shadows]], Tanya doesn’t even mentally protest being sent to bed like a child, and breaks curfew in the night to procure some alcohol when she can’t sleep.

* ReallyGetsAround: Tanya’s birth father sired more than half-a-dozen known half-siblings, and at least a couple unknown in the form of [[spoiler:Vin and Iris]], before he became an Obligator.

* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Kazuma loves meat. Tanya loves coffee, except the Final Empire doesn’t have any.

* {{Unishment}}: As punishment for breaking her incompetent and boring tutor’s arm, Tanya is charged with self-studying all the topics he was to have taught her, which she wanted to do anyway.
* WrongContextMagic: Kazuma’s abilities are like nothing the Final Empire has ever seen. The reason he keeps his Adventurer abilities is because he wasn't reincarnated by a JerkassGod like Being X and because [[ThrowTheDogABone he actually managed to defeat the Devil King in his second life]].
--> Well, why wouldn’t he have his handy Adventurer Skills? He learned them fair and square after all.

* AdaptationalNiceGuy: In the original timeline, Reen was an a BigBrotherBully who abused his little sister to the point of turning her into a BrokenBird. Here, he's Kazuma, who is a doting and loving CoolBigBro.

* BigBrotherInstinct: Kazuma to Vin. Try to hurt Kazuma and he'll beat both you and the entire criminal organization you work for into the ground but will still be willing to buy everyone a beer later if they agree to let bygones be bygones. Threaten ''Vin'', however, and he'll vaporize you skull before you can even finish your sentence before massacring the rest of your associates with lightning and [[EdibleBludgeon a loaf of bread]].

* CreateYourOwnHero: While Kazuma was always unsatisfied with his new life in Scadrial, he didn't have any intention of opposing the nobility until a Tekiel noble heard him complain and sent his guards to kill him. Kazuma was able to easily give them the slip and escape to a rooftop...[[MisplacedRetribution only to watch the guards grab another child that looked only vaguely like Kazuma and slit their throat]]. After paying his DueToTheDead, he hunts down the noble's house to pilfer as much as he can before setting the whole thing ablaze. He's continued his vendetta against House Tekiel for years.

* AnachronicOrder: The ColdOpening sees Kazuma and Tanya fighting, only for the next chapter to show Tanya’s birth and childhood, with the chapter after that showing Kazuma’s birth and childhood, even though Kazuma is older.
* CompositeCharacter: Kazuma takes the place of Reen, Vin's canonical older brother.
* BigBrotherInstinct: Kazuma to Vin.

* DueToTheDead: Kazuma is poor, but he still takes off his shirt to cover a dead kid’s body and carries her to the river.

* WrongContextMagic: Kazuma’s abilities are like nothing the Final Empire has ever seen. The reason he keeps his Adventurer abilities is because he wasn't reincarnated by a JerkassGod like Being X and because [[ThrowTheDogABone actually managed to defeat the Devil King in his second life]].

* LawfulEvil: Most of the Final Empire’s nobility and government; Tanya is actually more LawfulNeutral for treating her subordinates well and genuinely not realizing how common things like summary executions and homicide rape are.
* LazyBum: Tanya’s Mistborn teacher, Tohmes, who likes to do as little as possible.

* MundaneUtility: A lot of Kazuma’s Adventurer Skills simply help him check for enemies or start campfires, but he uses them to great effect when fighting.
** Tanya receives an allowance because she’s expected to use coins for fighting. Instead, she uses a few coins to buy a much larger number of metal nails for fighting with.

* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: When river-burying a dead girl killed because she was mistaken for Kazuma, he prays to [[GodIsGood Eris]] ''and'' '''[[GodIsInept Aqua]]''' seriously for the girl to be reborn lucky with a loving family.

* PlayingWithFire: Kazuma uses his Fireball and Tinder skills to great effect in arson and combat.
* ReallyGetsAround: Tanya’s birth father, who sired more than half-a-dozen half-siblings that they know of before becoming an Obligator.

* WrongContextMagic: Kazuma’s abilities, which are like nothing the Final Empire has ever seen.

* DarkerAndEdgier: Kazuma learns that his new life is this when his loud complaining prompts a passing noble to kill him; Kazuma successfully escapes, but then sees another kid get killed instead, with no one trying to stop it.

{{Foil}}: Kazuma and Tanya naturally, especially given the fact that they are born on opposite sides of this world's social class.

* StepfordSmiler: Before she Snapped, Tanya hid her constant rage and frustration by smiling at everyone.
