A Deeper Dive into Episode 10’s Plot
Episode 10, titled “分厚いお肉の芯までボディブローで火を通してもよろしいでしょうか” (May I Ask to Cook Even the Thickest Meat to the Core with a Body Blow?), plunges deeper into the overarching conflict and character dynamics established in previous episodes.
The episode opens with Scarlet reflecting on recent events, particularly those that transpired while she was unconscious. A surprising appearance comes from Nanaka, who attempts to impersonate Prince Julius, only for Scarlet to quickly discern the deception and shut down his Terenezza-induced brainwashing. This seemingly lighthearted moment sets the tone for an episode that balances serious threats with Scarlet’s characteristic, almost playful, dominance over her adversaries.
As the narrative progresses, Scarlet and Nanaka attend a meeting with Prince Julius and the knights. The meeting brings grim news: an army of nearly 50,000 monsters is poised to attack, vastly outnumbering their own forces and seemingly drawn towards the capital. Compounding this threat are two kingdoms waging war against them.
Despite the escalating tension, Scarlet maintains her “badass apex predator” persona. The episode showcases her effortlessly overwhelming hordes of monsters with fire attacks and even engaging trolls in hand-to-hand combat, playfully dancing with one during the fight. Her strength and confidence are further highlighted when she faces a powerful, giant humanoid pig monster that had kidnapped a soldier and defeated a dragon. Scarlet engages this formidable foe, using accelerated punches and then revealing she had accumulated the force of countless hits to bring it down.
A particularly humorous moment arises during negotiations with the Vankish Empire for aid. Crown Prince Alflame, who previously experienced Scarlet’s wrath for his inappropriate behavior, once again gets “whooped” by Scarlet when he becomes “uppity”. The nonchalant reaction of his attendant, Jinn, who simply states, “If I may: Prince Alflame is an asshole,” perfectly encapsulates the episode’s blend of action and comedic relief surrounding Scarlet’s overwhelming power.
The episode concludes with Scarlet receiving a message from Dios via a wind spirit, informing her that he and Nanaka will be unable to negotiate with Falconia, signaling further complications and challenges ahead.
Scarlet’s Unyielding Force
Episode 10 reinforces Scarlet’s role as an unstoppable force within her world. Her ability to effortlessly dispatch powerful foes, coupled with her blunt and often brutal honesty, continues to make her a compelling protagonist. Despite the grave threats posed by Terenezza and her allies, Scarlet’s confidence and power prevent the narrative from becoming overly dark, instead maintaining an enjoyable, action-packed pace. The focus remains on Scarlet indulging her “ultraviolent whims” with remarkable dedication, cementing her image as “Our Lady of Pain”.
What Lies Ahead
With the revelation of a massive monster army and stalled negotiations, the upcoming episodes are expected to delve deeper into the overarching conflict with Terenezza and the true extent of her plans. The anime is confirmed for a 13-episode run, suggesting that the remaining episodes will be crucial in advancing the plot towards its season finale. Viewers can anticipate more thrilling fights, strategic developments, and further exploration of the complex relationships between the characters as Scarlet confronts the escalating threats.
