May I ask for One Final Thing Ep 4 Review
Welcome back to another episode in the life of the Queen of crashouts, Scarlet El Vandimmion! In the last episode, Scarlet and Julius put their plans to shut down the slave trafficking ring run by Minister Godwin into action. But the plan gets complicated when Godwin tries to flee with his ally, Prince Alflame of the Vankish Empire. In a surprising turn of events, Scarlet saves Godwin from Alflame while also rejecting the Prince’s marriage proposal. But the biggest surprise is that Terenezza, the girl who seduced Scarlet’s horrible fiance, is from another world. So, what’s next? Find out!
ZA WARUDO!!!
So, the slave ring has been wiped out by Scarlet and the CIO, with all its members being arrested. However, not before Scarlet decides to repay Godwin for being the man pulling Kyle’s strings and inflicting years of pain and suffering on her and the kingdom. She uses her time magic to a “Za Warudo” and proceeds to give the corrupt ministry that would make DIO or the Joestar family proud. And she finishes it by dropping the line “thank you for the feast,” like a badass.
As the others come to the now-exhausted Scarlet’s side, though, Godwin pulls out the gun Terenezza gave him and makes one last attempt to kill her. But then Julius jumps in and takes the shot for her! Out of pure rage, Scarlet finds enough energy to move again and beats him down even more. Thankfully, Julius survived and his wound is healed. Hopefully, the story wont have the foresight to make things worse by having the bullet remain lodged in his body. That could cause infections down the line.
At any rate, everyone is fine, Scarlet is now a hero, and she gained a pet in the form of Alflame’s former dragon mount, Rex, much to Nanaka’s dismay. Not even a dragon is willing to go up against the likes of Scarlet! All is right with the world!
Except for one small problem: Terenezza is still out there.
Terenezza Could Be a Problem
I already mentioned it in my review of the last episode, but ‘May I Ask for One Final Thing’ is, in fact, a role-reversal isekai. Instead of being the typical isekai heroine, our otherworlder Terenezza is firmly the villain serving her master, the Goddess Palmia. Whether it’s due to her own desires or Palmia is manipulating her, though, Terenezza still sees herself as the hero. Yet her actions contradict this as she sneaks into where Godwin is being held and uses hypnosis to make him commit suicide.
There is also the matter of Terre’s master, Palmia. She’s the goddess of love in Scarlet’s world and has been the focal point of a growing religion in Pallistan that many of the corrupt nobles have been gathering around. Despite being called the goddess of love, though, the general impression is that Palmia is an unpleasant entity. And fewer things are more annoying than that of an unpleasant god.
More Shipping Fuel
Despite the danger that they may be facing in the near future, for now, Scarlet and Julius have the chance to rest and recuperate from the raid. While Julius quickly recovers, Scarlet spends the latter half of the episode taking it easy. By overusing her blessing, she’s caused her hair to partially turn black, something that does go away before the episode ends. It does, however, give us another opportunity to see the pair have another moment of “flirting.” By which I mean Julius teases Scarlet to get her riled up, which will no doubt earn him a beating. He probably thinks that it’s worth it, though.
And with that, we have another episode in the books. And if the manga is anything to go by, things are only going to get more interesting from here on out.
