Saigo ni Hitotsu dake Onegai shitemo Yoroshii deshou ka [Season1 Episode9]

If you’ve ever sat through a villainess anime and thought, “Why doesn’t she just punch those arrogant jerks?” then “May I Ask for One Final Thing?” (Saigo ni Hitotsu dake Onegai shitemo Yoroshii deshou ka) is the answer to your unspoken plea—even if details about Season 1 Episode 9 are still hard to come by right now.

Let’s start with the basics: Produced by LIDENFILMS and premiering in October 2025, this series centers on Scarlet El Vandimion, a princess who’s spent years putting up with her fiancé Prince Kyle’s condescending behavior. When he publicly breaks their engagement at a ball to pursue another woman and falsely accuses Scarlet of a crime, she finally snaps—and what follows is a beatdown that’s been described by fans as “the most satisfying moment in recent anime history.”

From the fan discussions we’ve seen (mostly focused on the explosive first episode), Scarlet is already stealing the show. Viewers can’t get enough of her unapologetic, fists-first attitude. One fan raved, “She has more attitude than Revy from Black Lagoon—and she’s a noble lady! How refreshing.” Another added, “This was the most satisfying pummeling I’ve ever seen; she didn’t just hit one douchebag, she took down the entire room and saved the best for last.” It’s clear that her refusal to play the victim is resonating with audiences tired of the usual villainess tropes where the lead spends episodes avoiding her fate.

The animation quality is another big win. LIDENFILMS has delivered fluid, dynamic fight scenes that make every punch feel visceral and satisfying. “The bloodbath by Scarlet was everything I hoped for,” a fan exclaimed. “I wasn’t disappointed at all—every movement was smooth, and the visuals were top-notch.” Even the character design gets love: “Scarlet is so pretty, but when she’s angry, she’s a force to be reckoned with,” one commenter noted. Another called her “a quality villainess SSR—you won’t see many like her even among the Akuyaku Reijou.”

The series also subverts expectations in fun ways. Unlike most villainess stories that lean into time travel or reincarnation to change the plot, Scarlet’s solution is simple: fight back. “It abandons every other villainess anime’s concept of running from the prince and just tackles it head on,” a fan pointed out. This fresh take has made the show a standout in a season with several other villainess titles.

The music hasn’t gone unnoticed either. The ending theme, in particular, has caught viewers’ attention, with several fans calling it “really good” and a highlight of the episode. The opening theme, while more rock-heavy than some expected, still gets props for its energy.

Of course, no anime is perfect. A few viewers have mixed feelings: some found the series “dull so far,” while others criticized CrunchyRoll’s subtitles for taking up too much screen space. But these are minor gripes in an otherwise beloved series. Most fans are already hooked, with many saying they’ve been waiting for the anime since it was announced and are “looking forward to watching it weekly.”

As for Episode 9? Since the series just premiered in October 2025, details are still scarce. But if the first episode is any indication, Episode 9 is likely to continue Scarlet’s journey of standing up for herself and punching anyone who gets in her way. Fans are already speculating about what’s next—will she team up with other characters? Will Prince Kyle get his comeuppance? Only time will tell.

In conclusion, “May I Ask for One Final Thing?” is a must-watch for anyone who loves strong female leads, satisfying revenge stories, or just wants to see arrogant nobles get what they deserve. It’s a fresh take on the villainess genre that’s sure to keep you entertained. As one fan put it: “Scarlet is the best FMC this season easily—go punch those people, girl!” So grab your popcorn, sit back, and enjoy the ride—you won’t regret it.
