May I Ask for One Final Thing? (Fall 2025) Power Scaling: Where Does Scarlet Rank Now?

“May I Ask for One Final Thing?” might’ve started like every other villainess isekai — cue the royal betrayal, the gaslighting fiancé, and the noble court ready to ruin our girl’s life. But then… BAM! Scarlet El Vandimion drops a right hook that sends that man’s career — and his face — into another dimension. From that single punch, the entire otaku world knew: this wasn’t your average revenge fantasy. This was Shonen Jump levels of heat inside a noble lady’s glove. 💥

And now, in Fall 2025, the streets are asking the real question:
“Where does Scarlet rank in the power scaling charts?”
Because lemme tell you — this ain't just about etiquette and backhanded tea party insults. Scarlet’s out here breaking faces, burning reputations, and maybe even breaking the anime power meta. So yeah, it’s time to put respect on her name. 💅

Every anime season has that one character.

• Spring had Ayanokoji pulling IQ stunts from his private 2000IQ cave.

• Summer had Yuta Itadori solo’ing curses like it was grocery shopping.

• Now Fall gives us Scarlet, the “Mad Dog Princess,” who says,

  “May I ask for one final thing?”
  And the final thing is always: a full-blown curb stomp.

So why power scale a series like this?

Because it’s not just palace drama anymore.
Behind the blush and ballroom… we’ve got legit shonen-tier battle feats, courtroom duels, magical assassination attempts, and hand-to-hand throwdowns that would make even Baki Hanma sweat. And yet, there’s no comprehensive breakdown online — no ranking, no tier list, no matchups. That’s a crime, fam. So we’re fixing it.

How We’re Power Scaling This Villainess

Okay, real talk — Scarlet El Vandimion isn't just a pretty face in a poofy dress. She’s a walking contradiction: elegance with the hands of a street brawler, a noblewoman with the fury of a final boss. But before we throw characters into the S-tier like candy in a festival parade, let’s talk how we’re doing the scaling.

THE CRITERIA: 6 Dimensions of Anime Smackdown Power™

We’re breaking every character down by the following:

1. Strength (Physical Might):
Scarlet’s punch alone could register on the Richter scale. We’re looking at raw combat force — punches, kicks, swordplay.

2. Magic Power:
Magic isn’t just fireworks — it’s utility, range, complexity. Think Fireball vs Counterspell vs Elemental Combos. Some characters (like Kyle) might lack the hands but bring arcane artillery.

3. Speed (Reaction + Movement):
Can they dodge a noble’s sneak attack? Blitz through a ballroom before you can say “etiquette”? Scarlet has that teleport-punch energy. Speed matters.

4. Durability (Can They Take Hits?):
Does the character crumble after one attack or tank through damage like a JoJo protag? Durability includes defense magic and raw toughness.

5. Stamina (Sustained Fighting Capacity):
Power means nothing if you gas out after one dramatic monologue. We’re watching who can throw hands for hours and who faints like a Victorian flower.

6. Versatility (Combat Flexibility):
Sword + magic + fists + political clout? That’s the 4-piece combo. Can they adapt or are they one-trick nobles?

TIER RANKING SYSTEM

We’re assigning characters to these tiers:

• S-Tier: God-mode. Walks into fights and ends them. Scarlet might be here 👀

• A-Tier: Top-tier nobles. Skilled, dangerous, and can challenge Scarlet in specific conditions.

• B-Tier: Respectable fighters. They pose a threat… but only if Scarlet’s distracted or injured.

• C-Tier: Mid. Talk a lot, lose even more.

• D-Tier: Background character energy. May get one good hit in. Maybe.

What Counts as a “Feat”?

For this breakdown, we’re pulling from:

• Direct combat scenes — anime episodes, manga battles

• Narrative consequences — Did they beat someone high-ranked? Survive a magical trap?

• Dialogue / reputation — If nobles are afraid to even duel them, that’s telling.

• Fatigue moments — Even gods can faint. Scarlet’s collapse scenes matter too.

So when Scarlet KO’s 5 nobles in a hallway, then faints from magic exhaustion 3 minutes later?
That’s an A+ in Strength, but maybe a B in Stamina.
When Julius holds back in a duel because he knows she’s cracked? That’s a meta-feat

Scarlet El Vandimion – The Mad Dog of the Royal Court

Let’s get this out the way: Scarlet El Vandimion isn’t just “strong for a noblewoman.” Nah, fam — she’s strong for ANY anime protagonist. She isn’t playing tea party politics. She’s playing “who’s catching these hands next?” She got nicknamed the “Mad Dog Princess” for a reason — and spoiler: it’s not because she barks. It’s because she bites.

Profile Snapshot:

• Magic Proficiency: Advanced

• Swordsmanship: Highly trained, rarely uses it

• Hand-to-Hand Combat: OP-tier

• Archery: Skill confirmed in LN, rarely used

• Known Feats:

  • One-punching her cheating fiancé in public (Episode 1)

  • Fighting multiple nobles bare-handed

  • Surviving poison, traps, magical ambushes

  • Voluntarily faints from over-exertion like a drama queen

Physical Strength – “Did She Just Falcon Punch a Royal?!”

Scarlet doesn’t just punch — she atomizes egos. Her first feat, punching her fiancé so hard his life spiraled out of noble society, is legendary. But that’s not just drama — it’s scaling. That punch wasn’t just powerful; it sent a trained knight into submission in front of witnesses. 👊

In later episodes and manga chapters, she handles multi-opponent scenarios, where she fights without a weapon and still outmaneuvers everyone. She drags full-grown men across marble floors and knocks out palace guards with decorative vases. VASES, Senpai.

Let’s call it:

• Strength: S-tier (especially in hand-to-hand).

Magical Talent – Underused but Dangerous

Scarlet’s magic isn’t her go-to — but when she uses it, it’s precise and tactical. She prefers physical confrontations, but when she casts, it’s often to:

• Defuse enemy spells

• Create barriers

• Disrupt magical illusions or cloaking

From light novel sources, we know she aced magical combat tests in her academy days — and even outperformed Julius in magical theory.

So why doesn't she use it more? Because she’s a savage.
Why cast a fireball when your fist is faster?

• Magic Power: A-tier

Speed – The Ballroom Blitz

Scarlet’s blitz speed is no joke. She rushes attackers before they even draw weapons. She evades ranged magic in tight palace corridors. Think Levi Ackerman in a dress.

She’s described as a blur by guards. Nobles blink, and suddenly they’re on the floor. Her speed isn’t about flashy animation — it’s about how she closes distance and disarms with terrifying efficiency.

• Speed: A-tier

Durability – “I’ll Faint After I Win”

She’s not unkillable — but she’s tough. She eats damage and keeps going. Multiple scenes show her taking magical attacks or blunt force trauma, shaking it off to finish a duel… THEN collapsing later like a Victorian lady. 😂

That said, her tendency to faint after fights is canon. It’s not weakness — it’s strategic exertion. She burns it all to win.

• Durability: A-tier

• Stamina: B+ (due to post-fight collapses)

Versatility – “Princess of All Trades”

She’s not locked into one style. Magic? Check. Sword? Yes, but prefers fists. Politics? She plays 4D chess. Scarlet is as dangerous in court as in combat. Even her emotional manipulation is a weapon.

That’s peak versatility. She doesn’t rely on one move — she adapts. And in a world of magic, politics, and family betrayals, that’s deadly.

• Versatility: S-tier

TL;DR

Scarlet El Vandimion = S-tier brawler with A-tier magical talent, assassin-level speed, and anime protag energy that makes her the most dangerous noble in the kingdom.

She doesn’t fight like a lady.
She fights like the final stage of a fighting game boss.

How Other Characters Stack Up (vs Scarlet)

Now that we’ve maxed out Scarlet’s stat sheet, it’s only fair we compare her to the rest of the cast. Because as much as we stan the “Mad Dog Princess,” a good power scale needs context, rivals, and — let’s be real — some humble pie for the side characters.

Let’s look at the ones who might stand a chance… or get folded like laundry.

Julius von Paristan – The Prettyboy Power Check

The heir to House Paristan, Julius is supposed to be the perfect noble: poised, powerful, and politically connected. He’s got elite swordsmanship, formal magic training, and enough ego to fill an entire palace wing.

But guess what? None of that saved him when Scarlet went full “Onee-san with a grudge” and clocked him like a shonen MC in a training arc.

Still, he ain’t weak. Julius has:

• Sword skills rivaling knights

• Elemental magic (mostly offense and barriers)

• Tactical awareness in formal duels

Where he falls short? Mental fragility and overconfidence. His weakness isn’t stats — it’s that he underestimated Scarlet, and probably still does.

• Strength: A

• Magic: A

• Speed: B+

• Durability: B (because bro gets rocked)

• Stamina: A

• Versatility: B

Verdict: High A-Tier. Could push Scarlet to mid-diff under the right setup… but she’d still win with a smirk.

Kyle von Paristan – The Caster Who Doesn’t Throw Hands

Julius’ younger brother, Kyle, is the strategic one. He doesn’t like fighting dirty — or at all — but when it comes to pure magical talent, Kyle is a monster.

He’s shown to:

• Cast wide-range crowd control spells

• Use anti-magic zones for traps

• Overpower other nobles without moving a muscle

His downside? He’s glass cannon AF. No fists, no close-quarters ability, and zero stamina under pressure. Scarlet could probably knock him out before he finishes chanting a high-tier spell.

• Strength: D

• Magic: S

• Speed: C

• Durability: C+

• Stamina: B

• Versatility: A (in magic)

Verdict: A-Tier… as long as Scarlet doesn’t close the gap. In a magic-only duel, he could potentially win. But in a real fight? She’d ragdoll him.

Terenezza Hopkins – Schemer with Mid Energy

A noblewoman with poison, mind games, and social warfare on lock. Terenezza is dangerous in court — not combat. She’s had zero direct feats, but the fandom lowkey respects her for surviving Scarlet’s wrath (so far).

She might score some off-screen dubs in manipulation and backstabbing, but when it comes to hands?

• Strength: D

• Magic: C+

• Speed: C

• Durability: D

• Stamina: Unknown

• Versatility: A (schemes, maybe illusions)

Verdict: B-/C-Tier. She’s not a fighter — she’s a plot device in a villainess soap opera.

Sigurd Forgrave & Other Nobles – Background Characters, Assemble!

These guys exist to get bodied. Whether it’s to show off Scarlet’s strength or give the Paristans something to bully, most of them are anime cannon fodder.

They may get one cool line or a single cool spell, but they’re donezo.

• Strength: C

• Magic: B-

• Speed: C

• Durability: B (because they’re punching bags)

• Stamina: C

• Versatility: B

Verdict: B-Tier on paper… but in reality? Low A at best, and that’s being generous.

Character	Tier	Notes
Scarlet El Vandimion	S	Final boss vibes
Julius von Paristan	A	Good all-rounder, pride holds him back
Kyle von Paristan	A	Magic king, glass cannon
Terenezza Hopkins	B-/C	Politics MVP, combat zero
Other Nobles	B/C	Exist to be yeeted

Conclusion – So, Where Does Scarlet Rank Now?

After all the breakdowns, stat sheets, and matchup fantasizing, there’s only one real answer:

Scarlet El Vandimion is S-Tier. Full stop.

She’s not a background noble. She’s not just a revenge-fueled waifu. She’s the anime equivalent of "try me and get sent flying." Her power scaling isn’t just about strength — it’s about dominance in every category that matters: adaptability, speed, and narrative control. If the story wants drama, Scarlet brings the violence. If it wants politics, she still wins. And if anyone dares to throw hands?

Well… they get one-punched. Ask Julius. Ask the royal court. Ask the floorboards still recovering from that Episode 1 KO.
