Plot Overview: A Deepening Conspiracy and Unlikely Allies
Episode 10, titled “May I Explain That This is Not Something That Just Anyone Can Do?”, delves deeper into the unfolding narrative surrounding Scarlet El Vandimion and the political machinations of her world.
Scarlet’s Continued Pursuit of Justice
The episode begins with Scarlet reflecting on recent events, including her deep sleep and the appearance of Prince Julius, who turns out to be Nanaka in disguise, sent by Terenezza. Scarlet quickly sees through the deception and incapacitates Nanaka, who had been brainwashed by Terenezza. This sequence highlights Scarlet’s acute observational skills and unwavering resolve, even amidst emotional turmoil.
Revelation and Betrayal
A key element explored in earlier episodes, leading into Episode 10, is the truth about Diana’s connection to Scarlet and the Dianist Church. Episode 9 revealed that Diana received her powers after the previous Saint’s death and had met Scarlet in the past, developing a sense of envy. In the present, Terenezza is actively wreaking havoc, destroying the Snowind Holy Gem and kidnapping Nanaka. Dios, Diana’s half-brother and a spy for the Palmira Church, attempts to expose Diana’s supposed betrayal, further complicating loyalties. However, Diana ultimately decides to stop being a spy and no longer wishes to betray those she loves.
Forming New Alliances
As the threat of Terenezza and her goddess’s followers looms, the military situation becomes dire. Prince Julius reveals that nearly 50,000 monsters are preparing to attack, overwhelming their current forces, and two kingdoms have declared war. In a desperate move, Julius forms an alliance with Prince Alflame of the Vankish Empire. Despite their previous antagonistic encounters, Alflame agrees to help in exchange for future assistance in his own kingdom’s succession battle. Scarlet, ever the fierce combatant, also prepares to join the fight against the monsters, even riding a dragon she previously defeated.
Themes and Character Development
Episode 10 continues to emphasize Scarlet’s role as a formidable and independent protagonist. Her “ultraviolent whims” and no-nonsense attitude are showcased as she easily dispatches foes and even playfully engages with a monster during battle. The episode also highlights the growing complexities of the relationships between the characters, particularly Diana’s struggle with her identity and past actions, and the unexpected alliance forged for survival.
