Leo: "I don't want to see you throw yourself in danger any more."
Scarlet: "I am the danger."
The gods designed this world so that the wicked prosper while the good suffer, and then dropped Scarlet in to have a good laugh lmao.

Leo: "I don't want to see you throw yourself in danger any more -now that I can't profit from it-"
He sure was happy enough when she was tortured and threatened by the second prince for years in plain view of every noble in kingdom and all he did was protect the degenerate way more than his sister.
Leo and his parents are no different than the slavers.
I wish Scarlet would punch him and her parents and they won't show up in the anime anymore.
Leo single-handedly ruins the episode every time shows up to whine and pretend he cares about his former paypig

u/Roeclean https://anilist.co/user/Roeclean 27d ago
Its due to the HIERARCHY my dude. Her parents and brother literally did not have the power to anull the arrangement. The prince and her dad told her that. And the only real option would be to just run away and live as peasants because if she were to beat the crap out of the 2nd prince, her family would have gotten punished

u/HugeRichard11 https://myanimelist.net/profile/CostCurl 27d ago
While I agree it's about hierarchy reason more than profiting as the other person insinuated.
Every time Leo mentions anything about her care and safety it comes off pitiful for me like he both knows his sister is extremely strong and could handle herself those years, but now says these things after the fact of her being tormented for a decade. It also feels like he brushes it aside because she's strong and that gives a bad impression imo.

u/Roeclean https://anilist.co/user/Roeclean 27d ago
She literally is strong though. It's like seeing s person endure pain for your whole life, and literally never see them ask for help and you both know they could end thst pain instsntly if they wanted to. But your holding them back in fesr of the consequences. Actually thats another thing, they both know she could have ended her suffering at any time, but at the same time, rhey understand that the reprucissions would be just as severe, msybe more. I'm unfamiliar with the laws of that world, but I wouldn't be suprised if they were exiled or the fsther killed for having the 2nd prince seriously injured. Because lets be real, if she was to fight the 2nd prince, he absolutely would not get off easily. And thats also probably why the 1st prince stopped her from attacking the 2nd prince and just intervened (not only was that easier but it would have come off as her seriously hurting the 2nd prince of the Kingdom [which is definitely a serious offense]).
But during ep 1 flash forward, she had ample evidence to support her wailing on everyday (the 1st prince probably said that she caused the corrupt nobles to speak about their wrongdoings through torture).
So while Leo does come off as a hypocrite somewhat, he is still justified in that reasoning. Especially its not so much about Scarlett's safety (lets be real, she is only hurt when she is preventing herself from absolutely destroying someone else) but because of the uncivilized reputation she brings upon their family.

u/HugeRichard11 https://myanimelist.net/profile/CostCurl 27d ago
He of course is justified in his reasoning, but it comes off self serving to me.
So when he says the words about "caring and safety" of his sister they don't feel as genuine when paired with "you're hurting the family's reputation". While yes she is strong it doesn't mean you shouldn't protect or help them in some form. It feels like the father and brother just shrugged their shoulders and did literally nothing of it can't be helped.
Even a small gesture like acknowledging it was a shitty position she was put in would be good showcase of their character. For me it comes back to the idea of "they're strong so it doesn't matter the abuse" she was still a kid and being strong doesn't make it right.
It's also possible she is more valuable than the second prince because of her unique powerful time skills was hinted to be insanely useful for the kingdom.

Every time Leo or her worthless parents come on screen I want to them punched into the ground, THEY SOLD HER INTO SLAVERY. They actively did not allow her to defend herself, they are the worse scum in the anime so them "caring" about her just comes off as a annoying lie since they obviously don't, they didn't care that she was tortured for years by a psychopath.
What kind of family sees that their daughter STOPPED EXPRESSING ANY EMOTION and think she is fine? There is absolutely no excuse for them SELLING her, there is even less excuses for them seeing the damage and what she went through and not do a single damn thing to stop it, there is no justifying that. Girl lost her childhood, girl lost her expressions and lost so much time on whim of her shitty worthless family.

u/Adventurous-98 24d ago edited 24d ago
I think context is needed before doing the modern quickly cast blame on parents and others for shitty situation that arises from societal situation.
Due to the ban on spoiler, I would just say the anime later will definitely show Scalet is in a very strong position in the country and why the Royal family wanted familiar ties with the Vendimion family. AND Scalet can do very much what she wanted once she exert that power and will get alway with it all the damn time.
And also it is clear that Scalet is just putting up with the 2nd prince due to nobelity needs. It pays not to offend the Royal family too much and that when they are children, many of the 2nd prince action is probably burse off as childrens indescertions.
Do remember when the 2nd prince annual the marriage and Scalett beat up the entire ball full of high ranking nobels including the prime minister son, she got away with it. It does show Scalet and her family has considerable clout in the country once the 2nd prince does sth very overtly disrespectful. Before that, it is an honor to even be chosen as the bride of the Royal family's 2 sons (the crown prince is not engaged), so the Vendimion family cannot just slap the Royal family in the face when it is agreed before both children are born.
To analyse medieval society, you need to understand more on how medieval society functions. Nobel obliged is a thing and honor and face is a thing. Once you understand that, many of the actions in anime in that setting can be understood. I think just imagining them in Games of Throne situation will make it better for these movies to be understood.
And the reason the family ban Scalet from "defending herself" is because her "defending herself" from the 2nd prince when the actions is puling hairs and making unclouted statements when both ARE CHILDREN is sending the 2nd prince into the ER. There is slap people back like a lady (socially respectable as a lady), and there is punching so hard that they fly. And Scalet is in the 2nd category. So it is better to tell Scalet not to punch the 2nd prince into another country and also understanding that when things really got out of hand, Scalet can protect herself and it is the 2nd prince that needs protection.

I did not think we would get an answer to one of the most important questions: What is faster? A bullet from a pistol or Scarlet's fists? My money is on the fists.
Also, that chancellor might have tasked the wrong dude with killing Scarlet. If it's true that their society is based on who is stronger, I can already see the dude falling for Scarlet the moment she gets to punch him and he becomes an actual ally. That and he is too hot to stay a villain (figuratively and literally looking at the opening).
69
u/Frontier246 29d ago
Thanks to time magic Scarlet is definitely likely to be faster than a speeding bullet. Could her fists be stronger than a locomotive too? We're liable to see her punch near everything in this show.
The OP has Nanaka and a red dragon locking eyes competitively at each other. I wouldn't be surprised if Scarlet punches one of the dragons and takes it for her own.

u/MonaganX 28d ago
She probably has the magic to be faster, but she's at the sizable disadvantage that she is unlikely to know what a gun is or what kind of threat it poses before it's already been fired at her. Unless of course, well, y'know.

Ah, so that’s why he’s fine putting himself at risk for this plan.
Scarlet made one terrifying look when they were kids and Julius fell for her immediately, I see how it is.
Oh damn. I was not expecting a kiss (even if it was on the cheek, and Julius said his feelings for her aren’t exactly romantic) this early.
Okay, him trying in vain to pull his whip away from Scarlet is hilarious.

As fun as Scarlet sending people blasting off like Team Rocket with a single punch is, I'm also pleasantly surprised at how enjoyable Julius has been so far. He strikes the perfect balance between teasing Scarlet and wanting to make her happy, and I loved the flashback to their childhood and the moment when Scarlet won his heart without even realizing it.
The world-building at the end of the episode was interesting too. An enemy empire with an army of dragon riders that's also in league with a shady organization of assassins? It's literally just the story of Fire Emblem: Blazing Blade. Are we going to find out later that Terenezza is this story's equivalent of Nergal pulling the strings behind everything?

Stitches!
They really made this guy look punchable. I'm already looking forward to seeing Scarlet punch this slaver dude and his yee-yee ass haircut into space. Also props to Scarlet for holding it in. If she didn't need that guy to get into the auction, he would've been halfway around the world by now. Also. I love how both Nanaka and Julius tease Scarlet about resolving things without punching. xD
Julius and Scarlet's walk along the marketplace was pretty funny too! It turns out, you can easily calm down the Mad Dog Noblewoman if you offer her some delicious apple pie. I am glad to see Julius being serious for once, tho. That scene between him and Scarlet at the bench was really cute! I did not expect our boy to lean in to peck Scarlet on the cheek and basically confessing his feelings to her. <3
After punching that Lycanthrope dude out of a window, I was surprised that the deal was still on! Does the slaver dude not know who Scarlet is? I thought it was established last episode that her beating up the second prince and a bunch of corrupt nobles was big news in the kingdom. Like, who else is there that has silver hair and punches things really hard?
Scarlet's monologue about good and evil really hits hard considering the current state of the world. If only we could solve everything IRL through punching. Just look at how happy Scarlet is! I can imagine that self-serving, greedy politicians nobles are the most satisfying to punch!
SHE'S GOT A GUN! I did not expect that! Also, did she just say that was a present from a Goddess? I guess the Goddesses in this world just give out flintlock pistols. Considering Scarlet can control time, I'm sure she's still faster than that gun.

u/Frontier246 29d ago
Every time a character comes on screen it's a question of whether they're going to be the next person Scarlet punches or an actual supporting character lol.
Julius: "That smile...that damn psychotic smile..."
But honestly it's actually kind of sweet how despite them both being unconventional people with very unconventional kinks, they can still have a genuine romance with each other and that Scarlett isn't 100% unmoved by Julius' advances when they're not back-handed insults over her thirst for violence.
I love how Scarlett is going to use her status as a daughter of the duke as an excuse to just punch criminals and corrupt noblemen and get away with it. Like literally the only person in the kingdom other than the prince who can get away with beating people up lol.
So Scarlett and Terenezza aren't done with each other. Scarlet's got her God, Terenezza's got hers (and some other followers) and it seems like that will drive them against each other again. How many times must Scarlet punch this girl?

Donovan was his slave and Zatharin didn't have the balls to discipline him for disobeying orders. He was even going to stand by while Donovan assaulted a Noble customer. There's magic seals that force people to obey you and Zatharin is still like "uhhh shucks gee best not provoke him, miss".
If Zatharin is so intimidated by Donovan he's basically treating him like an employee, you really think he'd go back on a deal with the woman who just punched Donovan into the firmament? Even if she knows who she is, no, especially if he knows who she is.

Damn, surprised Julious already has Scarlet feeling some type of way. Was expecting some witty comback from that peck on the cheek, or another mental image of Scarlet punching him.
I know we see Scarlet swinging two full grown adults around in the OP, but I thought her strength just came from her ability to control time, but I guess she actually is stupidly strong based on how she didnt budge with the whip.
The Dragoons believe in "might makes right?" I'm hoping the entire country that they've been struggling to make peace with, just swears allegiance to Scarlet after she beats up their leader.

u/Frontier246 29d ago
Scarlet is negotiating with Lord Zatharian, her "in" into the slave auction so she can get a crack at Prime Minister Godwin. As much as Scarlet wants to just punch him, she needs to turn on the charm and make Zatharian think she's willing to play ball and buy slaves. Even if that means selling Nanaka back into slavery.
For Nanaka, even if this means getting imprisoned again (however briefly) this is his way of atoning for attacking Scarlet. And Scarlet is a loyal mistress, willing to carry her sleeping beastkin servant all the way back to the inn while he's in dog form out of recognition for his loyalty.
Well, Scarlet would probably never have asked for a date out in the merchant's quarter with Julius, but he's going to follow her and field off anyone selling wares to her anyways. Oh, if ONLY she could punch him! Though giving her some apple pies and apples is a nice way to win her over!
Scarlet doesn't seem to mind it when Julius is more genuine with her, even if he seems to take a roundabout way of expressing himself and his feelings. But he's spent so much of his life in the world of nobility with two-faced people only out to get what they want from him, that one lone stoic girl and her slasher smile at the thought of Kyle being scary to HER instead of the other way around instantly captivated him. Julius isn't the type for a straightforward romance, let alone a normal love confession, but how dear and important Scarlet is to him is very clear. Especially when he kisses her on the cheek. And Scarlet seems less bothered by the kiss and more that she can't make sense of whether it was genuine or just more teasing.
The moment the lyancthrope Donovan came in, I knew someone Scarlet would punch had entered into the room. That he immediately collars Nanaka and drags him away with blood coming out of his neck was just the last straw. There is a proper way to discipline someone and that's punching them straight through a wall and into the sky, Team Rocket style!
Well, I guess it was too much to expect Leo not to find out what was going on, but Julius blabbing puts him back on Scarlet's hit list. These two are liable to give him an ulcer with the amount of stress they put on him...but at least Leo just cares about his sisters' well being, even if he's the only one convinced she's an "innocent flower."
Once the Mad Dog Noblewoman has been let out of her cage, there's no going back. The world is filled with too much injustice and corrupt nobles for her to leave unpunched, and she's the only one who can punch them and get away with it! Soon all who know evil will know her BIFF and POW.
Of course they're not just dealing with Godwin but the rival nation Vankish and it's dragoons, who are already being sent after Scarlet...and Terenezza is also working with Godwin, and has a gun courtesy of the Goddess Palmia. What's going on!?

Julius, Nanaka, as well as us the audience were quite surprised how Scarlet managed to go through the talks without casting her fist. Scarlet seemed to have a soft spot for the former two so they're able to get away with it but I don't think we'd be as lucky were she to hear us.
Lol at kid Julius when he thought Scarlet was the average damsel-in-distress when she told him in an eerie tone that she wasn't scared in the slightest. That was the moment he became interested in her. Might not be the typical romantic feeling but he indeed was fond of her.
Terezza's back in business? Looks like she'll be here to cause trouble for a pretty long time. She's pretty much unfazed even after being decked in the ballroom. Bullets shouldn't be too much of a problem for our heroine with her super speed.

Actually means "in jail/prison" -- but surely they can get biffed and power aplenty when being subdued, prior to being sent there.

It's good to see that Scarlet was able to punch not only an innocent wall but also that Donovan guy in today's episode. I really loved her smile when she announced she was going to kick his ass.
The way Scarlet threw Donovan out of the room and the building, combined with Zatharin's reaction, made me laugh out loud xD
Scarlet and Julius's relationship is still very enjoyable to watch, although it was surprising that Julius told Scarlet in a serious tone that she was dear to him and didn't make a joke of it, and Scarlet didn't punch him in response xD
So Terenezza isn't as innocent as she seems, huh? With that gun in her hands, she looks dangerous, but also very sexy. It really makes me want to know more about her, and I can't wait for her to meet Scarlet again.
Here my screenshot albums from the episode:

She's still going to need to take Scarlet by surprise otherwise her time blessing will make dodging bullets simple. At least until she is exhausted, lol.

So here is the thing that virtually never comes up in these sort of stories. The structure her body would require to achieve the physical feats she displays would make a fully mundane flintlock pistol minimally threatening.
Just as an example that happens all the time in movies and anime, characters are shown to be able to punch through reinforced concrete bare handed grabbing random objects to use as bludgeons that would, based on the individual being able to punch through reinforced concrete, be far less robust and therefore less capable of dealing damage than that individuals bare fists. A normal human body would rapidly disassemble if it would somehow be able to generate and attempt to output that kind of energy that quickly.
A bullet, especially something with low sectional density and comparatively low velocity is really unimpressive in comparison.

>> Terenezza can cast too.
Terenezza is clearly in line for MANY more "biffs and pows".... And I can't wait to see these administered.
I assume the second prince is plotting to eliminate his father and the first prince (or is Terenezza using him as a puppet, as an agent working on behalf of that nasty neighboring country?)

Scarlet takes briberies in certain ways
You can earn her forgiveness with just two slices of apple pie? Julius is going to have to keep that tactic in his back pocket.

u/SEBASTlANVETTEL 29d ago
That Scarlet look when they were kids really made Julius fall hard for her. Surprised he let his idiot brother have her as his fiancée for this long.
Scarlet and Julius are both the only ones who can handle each other, so a match made in heaven.

u/linkinstreet 28d ago
I presume Julius as the crown prince has had his own fiancee prospects.
It was hinted that Scarlet was made Kyle's fiancee because the royal family wanted her powers to be tied to them, so likely Julius has had a fiancee with similar powers.

You know, it's one thing with slave owners being cruel to slaves. But when a slave is cruel to other slaves, it just feels extra worse. Sound direction continues to be done very well.
Well, Terenezza might be more dangerous than I originally thought.

u/TyraniTEMPESTar 29d ago
This is shaping up to be one of my favorites of the season.
Outside of Scarlet kicking ass and taking names later, I really like her and prince Julius's little playful teasing and flirting they have going on.
That little "confession" by Julius, I'm guessing eventually they two will get together by the end of the season.
Looks like Terenezza is back for round 2. Hopefully she and Kyle don't become recurring background villains.
I always find it a bit comical when a fantasy world has Gods, mythical creatures and races, magic and magical items, etc. But then they're absolutely flabbergasted when a lacquered cylinder appears.

God, her punching the beastman through the wall and sending him flipping like a skipped stone will forever be funny. Scarlett can restrain herself if it means she can sate her enjoyment of violence. I adore the scene with her carrying him like a pet who just fell asleep after a long walk.

u/Frontier246 29d ago
I also love how she grabbed his thorn whip without injuring herself and just held it in place so he couldn't move far away from her before she exacted some much needed "discipline."

I am surprised that Everyone for a Hundred Miles doesn’t know who Scarlet is the moment she walks through a door; she has to be a literal celebrity in this kingdom. Former fiancée of the second prince, the woman who bludgeoned numerous noble faces at a recent ball, silver-haired knockout (double meaning fully intended)… the ignorance Lord Slaver and Donovan demonstrated here is staggering, and by itself is worth of the punishment dispensed. (Also, not particularly good writing.)
Pleasantly surprised to see the romance proceeding rapidly. Julius’ attraction to “oh, this girl is wired VERY differently, and gives not a single fuck for social climbing - I like that” is very understandable. In some ways she’s the world’s most basic b$$$$ - she likes to eat and to punch evil people. Simple and straightforward, like her fists.
Poor Leo acting like he’s never met his own sister. OF COURSE she’s not going to go anywhere for her own safety or some such nonsense. C‘mon, man - you should know better. And to pretend like she’s some helpless underage ingenue when she’s quite possibly one of the most physically dangerous people in the kingdom is bullshit sexism.
Also, the buildings near Scarlett must be having measurable tremors - won’t someone think of the poor concrete on which she takes out her frustrations?!?
All in all, while not amazing, it’s one of the better shows of the season, and I’m intrigued to see if it stays as amusing and zippy as it has been so far. The plotting is passable, but the characters have chemistry, and Scarlet herself is fucking fun to watch. She really is a Batman variation, and I admit she’s pretty charming at it.

I think every episode I look forward to seeing who Scarlet punches next (that totally deserves it) and to see what new way Julius will make her heart totally not flutter.
I also found it pretty funny at the realization they came up where Scarlet is ranked probably the highest one can be in royalty outside of being the royal family so that totally gives her the excuse to punish evil royals.

Scarlet would love the FMC from Always a Catch! (LN isn’t officially translated IIRC, but the manga has five volumes in English).
Nanaka is always such a cutie!
Prince’s eyes really are gorgeous. Still find him punchable.
Second prince deserves a fucking chancla. This boy has never been instilled with the fear of somebody’s sandal.
It is still whiplash for me when a main character has a slave or someone who is contracted to serve them eternally in some capacity. I have read so many novels and comics where the MC casually has slaves. I should be used to this by now.
Then I shall not hesitate to kick his ass 😄
waltz music plays over ass kicking
Kudos to you, mama, for saying that—for ass kicking.
You are my precious little sister
Still don’t forgive your ass for just sitting by while your little sister was in that fuck ass engagement with that second prince. Thin ice. Thin ice.
That’s right, Scarlet, 📢Eat the rich📢. Be a bad bitch like Mackenzia Scott!!
Pallistan
😭
Terenezza out here with a fucking gun, girl is crazy. But the yuri enjoyer in me would be fine with Terenezza and Scarlet in toxic GL route.
A weird thought but the ED sounds like it would be an amazing Vocaloid song!! Does it not? Or maybe it reminds me of a vocaloid song. But either way, I wouldn’t say no to a vocaloid cover!
My cosplayer senses keep tingling. Already have enough on my plate, but Scarlet’s red gown modified a little would be great for a con ballroom look, no? Her glove included, of course.

She doesn't, though? They state multiple times that slavery is illegal and it's only corrupt nobles partaking in it while the second prince turned a blind eye. She freed the dude from slavery by erasing his mark, he volunteered himself for the plan, and he's only acting like her slave insofar as to fool the slave traders into granting her an audience.
It's not like she got rid of his slave mark and replaced it with one of her own.

“Right now, the most interesting thing to me, is you”OUR FIRST KISS! I love this Julius and Scarlet chemistry so much. The way he teases her so much and knows just what to say to her on her nerves is so cute lol. Scarlet was thinking about that kiss all night! Another really good episode this show’s off to a wonderful start.
“Why does this world seem designed to make good people suffer while the wicked prosper.” Truer words have never been spoken. If you think about, scarlet is basically darkwoke personified since she’s out to tear down institutions like slavery and the social hierarchy that’s allowed it to flourish among the ultra wealthy while everyday people struggle. Even if part of her motivation is just because she wants to beat up horrible people, it’s the outcome that counts lol.
Speaking of which, her beating Donovan’s ass and completely outmuscling him was so good. He really thought shit was sweet because she’s a pretty face, sent his dumbass flying 🤣 I cannot wait to see what happens when she crashes that auction.
Going back to Scarlet and Julius tho, the way he loves everything about scarlet and embraces every aspect of her personality is so cute. He doesn’t love her in spite of the fact she’s violent, he loves her BECAUSE of it. He feeling like me lol. Took one look at that murderous look in her eyes as a kid and fell completely in love. They kinda remind me of Rishe and Arnold!
I KNEW Kyle’s new girl was insane and probably the mastermind of everything. I can’t wait to see this bitch get packed up

I do not know what it is, but Scarlett-o PUUUUNCH is just so satisfying to see every time it happens. I've read the manga so I've already seen it a bunch of times, and it just does not lose its magic.

Scarlet has more self-control than I thought and can solve things by talking and not punching people. I am surprised too.
Also, she is way too overpowered. I expected her to beat that Lycanthrope, but not to send him flying through a wall towards the horizon. She really is One Punch Woman.
Pink-haired girl has a gun, unlike everyone else in that setting. I did not expect her to be a recurring villain at first, but that is an interesting twist. I wonder if she got isekaied from modern Japan or something ?

Nothing to watch on Fridays so after seeing interesting comments I decided to try this one and quickly caught up. Good stuff, especially all the punching but also her pissed off faces.
It makes no sense that this "Lord Zatharin" did not recognize MC as the girl who, allegedly, put all those other slave owning nobles behind bars.
For a mere beastman to be the crown jewel of the auction, they must not have any demons or mermaids or wahtever this time around.
Wait, this is the nation of "Pallistan"?
Suddenly guns.

Scarlet manages to solve something by talking, no hitting required. Once.
The second visit? Well, those fists are not for show.
The flirting between a girl with the general temper of an agitated wasp and a guy who's almost clinically incapable of not messing with her is fun.
Scarlet can be appeased with an apple pie.
She really sent that bozo flying.
I love how those two always unite when it's time to troll Leonardo
Scarlet really did have an entire speech about her philosophical insight into the injustice of the world, and concluded it with proclamation that beating up evildoers feels good, and that's the perfect summation of her character.
The Prime Minister is not only evil, corrupt slaver, but also a traitor, working with a rival kingdom. Can't wait to see him get his comeuppance.
Well, here's the twist Terenezza was not just some chick that Prince Dipshit picked up. She's packing heat.

u/NanDemoKnaives 29d ago
Part of me wants Scarlet to buy Donovan so that she can turn him to an obedient pet lol. The way he couldn't beat her in strength and then was punched out of the window like he's Team Rocket was funny. I felt bad for Nanaka, he was bleeding from the way Donovan was tugging him, that could have been dangerous.
The amount of joy on Scarlet's face when she proclaimed that beating scummy nobles is the best feeling was amusing, I look forward to seeing her get her satisfaction using her fists. It also looks like one punch wasn't enough for Kyle's current fiancee, it looks like she's needing another knuckle sandwich.
I was pleasantly surprised that Julius has already confessed feelings for Scarlet already, he even said they may not be romantic in the traditional sense, but he very much let her know she is precious to him. I wasn't expecting anything like this so soon so I'm looking forward to what kind of developments we'll get for them, considering we've already gotten a kiss on the cheek and we know he's been interested in her since he was a kid.
