Plot: After her fiancé, Prince Kyle, besmirches her repute with lies in entrance of a ballroom of nobles, Girl Scarlet unleashes her pent-up aggression with a flurry of fists. Her excellent act of violence then triggers a want to rid the dominion of high-ranking males, slave merchants, and anybody who stands in the best way of Girl Scarlet’s freedom of selection.
Evaluate: Whereas I by no means encourage violence of any form, watching Girl Scarlet feed a nobleman a knuckle sandwich with loads of mustard is without doubt one of the most satisfying facets of this tough and tumble regency anime. Let’s not dance across the reality. Proper now, we’re residing in a time when high-ranking people are decided to run and break the world. So, when an anime comes alongside that places those that look down upon the 99% of their place, I can’t assist however cheer.
Could I Ask for One Ultimate Factor? is off to an entertaining begin. The story revolves round Girl Scarlet, the daughter of Duke Vandimion, a robust, discovered, and unconventional younger lady of huge intelligence and savvy, possessing magical powers, a silver tongue, and fists of fury. Engaged to the insupportable Prince Kyle von Paristan, Scarlet entertains her fiancé’s abuse till sooner or later, she snaps. The second when Scarlet loses her cool, we’re off to the races. As she lays waste to a whole ballroom of nobles, the present’s “Eat the rich” theme begins exhibiting its true colours. I’m all in.
The present additionally boasts some wildly entertaining characters. Girl Scarlet is hypnotizing. She strikes in regards to the world as if on air, her each transfer deliberate and swish. She’s 5 steps forward of everybody within the room. Oh, until you’re Prince Kyle’s extra reserved, form, and intelligent brother, Prince Julius von Paristan. This man’s identify would possibly as effectively be Slick Dickly. He’s dripping with confidence, crafty, and precision. He’s obtained a hardcore crush on Scarlet, as he makes no effort to cover his affection. To this point, he’s a great dude. I get the impression that Scarlet’s obtained eyes for another person, however give Julius sufficient time, and I may see his efforts getting returned.
Lastly, there’s Nanaka, a male beastkin typically confused as a lady as a result of his androgynous determine and gender-neutral identify. Nanaka is quiet, respectful, and desperate to please Scarlet, realizing they share comparable wishes in terms of bringing the the Aristocracy down a number of pegs. Beastkins, whereas in a position to remodel right into a human, typically revert to their animalistic aspect. As a result of they’re uncommon and majestic, Beastkins are worthwhile victims of the slave commerce. Whereas slavery is prohibited all through most (if not all) of the dominion, that hasn’t stopped varied slave merchants from enlisting people and Beastkin into servitude.
Unsurprisingly, Girl Scarlet, Prince Julius, and Nanaka gained’t stand for this indignation. If Prince Julius is to be king sooner or later, he would see slavery weeded out, one slaver at a time. In the meantime, Girl Scarlet needs to crack skulls. She will get a thrill out of it, however provided that they’re of the the Aristocracy. Between the three of them, the dominion is in for a critical angle adjustment.
As a result of it’s early within the season, it’s difficult to know the place the collection will go and what sort of surprises await us. I’ve solely watched 4 episodes as of this writing, and am doing my greatest to abide by Crunchyroll’s strict record of spoiler pointers. Please belief me after I say there are some enjoyable twists, fights that left me grinning ear-to-ear, and the teasing of romance components is scrumptious. Each time Girl Scarlet raises her fists, I do know I’m in for a great time. I audibly (and excitedly) yelled at my display screen twice whereas watching the present, hollaring at any time when Scarlet cracked a wealthy asshole in his sq. jaw.
In my estimation, Could I Ask for One Ultimate Factor? reveals loads of promise. The comedy is dry but strong, the motion is transient however impactful, romance is wafting by the air, and story components that would increase the scope and scale of the collection are starting to emerge. I’m intrigued and sit up for watching extra.
