| The show premieres with two episodes today. Episode 1 And Scarlet goes full-blown villainess as she's out to get revenge on Kyle after he dumps her. It was a bad romance to begin with, but she comes in with a final request to deliver a punch to the face. There's a succession battle going on between the first prince Julius and the second prince Kyle, and it's clear that Kyle is not fit for the throne with his bratty attitude and abusive tendencies. As for Julius, he's been snooping around Scarlet as while she kept her secret personality well-hidden, Julius is onto her. Scarlet was preparing for her rebellion, and with Kyle dumping her in favor of Terenezza, that gave Scarlet the spark to act. And thus, Scarlet punches Kyle and Terenezza and has declared war on the kingdom by kicking everybody's ass. That was a nice way to start things here seeing Scarlet becoming so crude the way she did. |
| Oh... Oh I love her Added to my watch list with 1 episode |
| Episode 2 And with that, the arranged marriage has been annulled, and Kyle has been disowned thanks to Scarlet unleashing her anger, but in doing so she has to watch out for herself as a maid tried to assassinate her. It turns out that the maid is actually a boy beastkin who transformed into a human and is some evil-doer's slave. Scarlet released Nanaka from the slave crest and in return, spills the beans about who enslaved him, which is Godwin. So to deliver payback for that slave trader who blackmailed Nanaka into becoming a slave, Scarlet goes after the one known as Junk, and it's a good thing Julius knew exactly what to say seeing that Scarlet's violent personality would have gotten her in a lot of trouble. Scarlet's comedically crude ways continues to be amusing as it's always great to see those who deserved those beatdowns get what's coming to them. |
| I was worried that this would be a show without much in the way of magic. It's nice to see Scarlet dishing out justice with the aid of spells. The animation, art, sound, story and characters are all good, so I'm adding this to my list. Well, okay, Kyle is an absurd glaring stereotype, but I'll overlook that. |
| I can't not hear Sakurajima Mai-san when she says "buta". This feels like if "The Way Too Perfect Saint" had a backbone....it's also more interesting already. |

Her brother had a bottle of 'stomach medicine.' Usually it means antacid.
| @marklebid I had to go to Google translate to figure out the characters |
| I was worried at first with the way it started off with a very typical 'villainess' genre opening scene. It threw a curveball after that though, so I was pleasantly surprised. She reminds me a bit Yumiella Dolkness, though not quite as fun. |

| This is a pretty good "Villainess" setup. It's natural to Scarlet since she's been quite boyish and... joyfully barbaric since childhood anyways xD And with her being forced to consciously hold back for years, her crash-out is definitely justified. I do hope that the show doesn't forget that she's not just about brutality, but also competitive, as seen from her reaction towards the prince beating her in the school rankings. I also like that they gave her OP capabilities a limitation: Using her powers shortens her lifespan. My only nitpick so far is with the prince overreacting/glazing on her every little 'barbaric' statements/actions. I don't mind the brother doing that since he does take the fall for his sister's actions, which provides some comical moments. Even the other characters since it makes sense for them to be shocked with her not-so-princess-like attitude. But with the prince, it feels like teasing a crush with a redundant joke-- it could run the gag to the ground.

| I mean, it's not an Isekai so it has that going for it already. |

I haven't experienced it myself, nor met anyone that has that kind of condition. Be glad. I had a micromanaging boss who demanded endless changes, usually with a deadline of next morning. I was working eight days a week; I'd work seven days and then on Monday morning I would start at 4AM to get an extra day's work in before he arrived. So stressed I had acid reflux and was pre-ulcerous and one time I thought I was having a heart attack (bad acid reflux.) I finished the job, though. When my contract came up for renewal I refused, even when offered a raise. The guy who replaced me lasted three months before he had a heart attack. So yeah, gulping antacids was definitely a thing for me back then. |

Digestive problems go hand in hand with anxiety disorders. |
Jozuwa-_- said: I wonder if it's a common condition for Japanese people, or anyone in general, to have a stomach ache when stressed. I get heavy migraines when I get stressed. And when I get extremely stressed I start puking. I also have a weak stomach so I get stomach aches simply by eating unbalances meals. |

No wonder it's being referenced in Anime a lot-- their work culture is apparently extremely stressful. i appreciate being informed about this.I get heavy migraines when I get stressed. And when I get extremely stressed I start puking. I also have a weak stomach so I get stomach aches simply by eating unbalances meals. The worst work experience I had was working a physical job for 12 or 16hrs each day in a week with no days off for about a month, as a production operator-- lost 40 pounds in less than 30 days. I guess I was still lucky enough to not have any deadlines or meetings to be pressured about or the added mental stress could've made me experience that condition as well. |

| Episode 3 After kicking ass and taking names the first two episodes, this episode is all about setting the stage to kick Godwin's ass during the upcoming slave auction. There's a screening process that makes it impossible for Scarlet to enter through conventional means seeing that only experienced slave traders are allowed in, but she offers up Nanaka to gain entry seeing that beastkin like him are a rare find. Zatharian's bodyguard Donovan was being quite rough with him, but Scarlet shows that it's nothing she can't handle. So now that she gains entry to the event, they are strategizing about what to do. But little does she know that she's about to cross paths with Kyle and Terenezza again. Let's see how this goes as there's going to be a lot of action going on at the auction. |
| I get the feeling that Terenezza is shaping up to be the main villain, especially since she's featured in the ED. |
| Terenezza is a Moriarty looking for a Holmes, but she found Doc Savage. |
| Just getting around to this one. Damn, she laid out the entire room. I was expecting some sort of elaborate cunning scheme to get back at them but she just beat the piss out of all of them outright. |
| I wonder if, at some point in the series, she is gonna say: "IT'S CLOBBERIN' TIME!" |
| I was worried this would be a plot-setup episode with no chance for fisticuffs. Fortunately Scarlett found a mutt in need a discipline. |
| The tomatoes are coming! Arm the dicer! Prepare the olive oil! |
| Quite bummed with the banter getting repetitive, especially since there's no reason for Scarlet to be pissed when teased about her brutality, since she's clearly very vocally proud of it. Love seeing her decimate people though xD Your Terenezza is not waifu-ing. xD A barbaric princess on one side, and a sociopathic princess on the other. |

MenchiK1 said: Please explain the "biff pow" My guess is since she uses a very proper form of Japanese they're leaning into Ye Olde English. Semi-relatedly "Biff" and "Pow" were used in the old Batman TV series as pop-up cards when Batman or Robin would hit someone. |
| The tomatoes are coming! Arm the dicer! Prepare the olive oil! |
| I stand educated! |
| The tomatoes are coming! Arm the dicer! Prepare the olive oil! |
| The other day I was wondering how an anime would be structured if the isekai character was not the protagonist. Guess I'm about to find out! |
| The tomatoes are coming! Arm the dicer! Prepare the olive oil! |
| Oh that is a good twist. Can't wait to see what's next |
| Episode 4 Pretty hilarious to see how Scarlet is kicking ass here, especially with that ballroom dance whirlwind. But it turns out that she's not the only one who was after Godwin's head as Alflame is a vigilante who was ready to kill Godwin on sight before Scarlet stopped him. Alflame was so impressed by Scarlet that he decided that he wants to marry her, but she's not going to marry just anybody after what happened between her and Kyle. As it turns out, Terenezza was isekaied from Japan, which is unusual seeing that the MC is the one who's isekaied, but not here from the look of things. Not unless Scarlet was an MMA fighter in her past life or something that's being saved for the end. |
| I kind of hope the isekai thing is just a joke or something |
| The gun she had last episode certainly adds weight to the idea. So what's her Cheat Power, and is it enough to avoid another punch to the face |
| I was just contemplating whether to drop this or not but, looks like there's something interesting now. I already sensed the dragon dude was just gonna be a husbando candidate, but I surely did not expect the Isekai twist. It might be interesting to see a situation where it's not the MC that's Isekai'd, but the villain they're dealing with (Yumiella doesn't count cuz she's the MC, and we see through her POV). Hopefully, they do much with that. |
|
| So we were the isekai all along. |
| Cursive is the future. - Nate Bargatze |
| There was one I read a year or so back, Both the Hero and Villain were Isekais. The Villainesse just noped the heck out right away and went off to do her own thing, and the Heroine found their whole story line derailed with out her and was trying to force things back on track, leading of course to the two reversing roles as hero and villain. |
| Episode 5 Scarlet delivers a beatdown to Godwin seeing that she doesn't believe that Terenezza was isekaied, but even with all that damage, Godwin manages to put a bullet through Julius as that pendant Terenezza gave him kept him alive. But Julius survived that bullet, and with that Godwin and his cronies are behind bars. As it turns out, there's a war between religions as Dianism and Palmiaism are at odds with each other, and Terenezza gives Godwin a poison to kill himself. Palmiaism is the official religion of the land, but one that's more about the corrupt elites than the citizens. And then Scarlet meets up with Rosa and Envi, two friends from Scarlet's days at the academy. And once more, Scarlet says the show's title as there's another guy whose ass she wants to kick, so I look forward to seeing that go down. So there's a battle of religion here as bad things usually happen when religions clash the way it's happening in this show. And from the look of things, Scarlet is also reincarnated with Diana being the one granting her a new life in this work the same way Palmia did for Terenezza. Whether or not that's the case remains to be seen. |
| HA "Terenezza comes from another world?..... What a nonsensical story I'm going to punch you now" |
| I had a thought during the prison scene it would be amusing if Terenezza isn't actually an isekai but just a chunibyo with a blessing. |
| The tomatoes are coming! Arm the dicer! Prepare the olive oil! |
marklebid said: Sandbag means punching bag. do they have a term for "sandbagging" i.e. intentionally doing poorly to deceive your opponent |
| If Terrenezza was just after the whole happily ever after you would think she would have aimed for blondie price instead of the dumbass guy. |
| Episode 6 Scarlet is summoned by the saint Diana as she's about to embark on a pilgrimage and wants Scarlet to accompany her. Given the religious tensions going on between Dianism and Palmianism that naturally there's going to be a lot of thugs after her life. So Scarlet travels to the kingdom, but the pope Sargon blocks the way, while his servant Jarmov attacks only to get her ass kicked by Scarlet. Then Scarlet meets up with Diana, who also goes by the name Sanya. And then comes the ritual, and right on cue the Palmianism punks attack and Scarlet is out to take down the foes standing in her way. Once again, Scarlet shows why it's always a bad idea to get on her bad side as things don't end well for those who do. |
| That end pose was pretty BA. |
