💔⚔️ May I Ask for One Final Thing? – The Villainess Strikes Back in 2025’s Boldest Fantasy Revenge Anime

This Fall, a new kind of villainess story takes the stage. May I Ask for One Final Thing? (Japanese: 最後にひとつだけお願いしてもよろしいでしょうか) is set to premiere on October 4, 2025, bringing audiences a thrilling mix of elegance, rage, and rebellion. Produced by Liden Films Kyoto Studio and streaming on Crunchyroll, this anime flips the “broken engagement” trope on its head with raw fists and fiery vengeance.

As Scarlet El Vandimion herself declares: “If I must be the villainess in your story, then let me play the part—with my own fists.”

👑 The Premise – From Heartbreak to Revolution

At the center of the story is Scarlet El Vandimion, a duke’s daughter betrothed to the arrogant Prince Kyle von Paristan. For years, Scarlet endured his cruelty, slander, and manipulation, all for the sake of political survival. But when he breaks off their engagement during a ball—framing her as a bully and villainess—Scarlet doesn’t cry.

Instead, she asks for one final thing: permission to punch him. And that single blow sets her on a path of righteous fury, revenge, and self-liberation.

✨ Expect fiery ballroom confrontations, court intrigue, and a heroine who refuses to bow to a corrupt system.
