We're now at Ghost Villainess stories!

There are some things children shouldn't see...like the public execution of a woman. And yet, so does a young Constance Grail (Kana Ichinose!) see the last moments of Scarlet Castiel (Sayumi Suzushiro!) cursing those condemning her while sharing a poignant moment with Constance...before she's beheaded and the blood gets on Constance. Yikes.

Constance's family stands by "Be Yourself, Sincere" and with that in mind she's a naturally kindhearted and compassionate noblewoman, and cute to boot! Sure she's in an arranged marriage to get her family out of debt, rather than a marriage of true love, but her fiance Neil seems like a genuinely good guy so maybe things will turn out okay anyways?

Constance is a good fiance to not immediately believe Neil is cheating on her...right up until she sees him embracing Pamela in the garden. And then Pamela makes sure Constance sees her locking lips with Neil. Jeez, that's rough.

And as if to add massive insult to emotional injury, Constance learns that no good deed goes unpunished...not the one where you tell the super busty noblewoman that she can join the party, but the one where you help a woman with her hair, hold onto her hairpin for safekeeping, and end up getting accused of theft. And no one, even those who saw what really happened, are willing to come forward rather than let Constance be consigned as a thief.

And in her most desperate moment, Constance receives some ghostly aid...and her voice drops an octave, her sass levels go up to 11, and she becomes a sultry, vindictive, and cuthroat girl who turns the tables on her accusers, guilt trips her eye-witness', and turns this verbal game of chess into checkmate for herself!

I love how just the accusation that she was doing the deed in shrubbery was enough to get Pamela to immediately confess to kissing another girls' fiance. And it's all downhill for her from there. Like how the other noblewomen who actually DID congratulate Constance on her engagement use the insult of Pamela engaging in an affair as an excuse to make her dance without shoes until she's bleeding...I can't imagine a pretty end for Pamela, but this is how the game of nobles is played. The same game Scarlet probably played herself.

Scarlet even does Constance another solid and makes the Nouveau Riche Fatso...I mean, Harmsworth (Jun Fukuyama!) annul the engagement! So now Constance is free of her cheating scumbag fiance!

Of course, Scarlet didn't do ANY of this for free. Constance may not measure up much to her, or be to her taste, but she can use Constance to get her revenge. Revenge on the brainless prince Enrique and Crown Princess Cecilia who consigned her to death.

The OP is very on-point, with Constance and Scarlet in parallel as they both play chess with the people around them as part of Scarlet's ultimate revenge plot.

flamethrower22026-01-08 16:07

Is there another one of those I should be aware of?

Z000Burst2026-01-08 16:17

i don't think so

haven't seen another one like these yet, well another JP one specifically

but i think there a few korean one floating around

Boshwa2026-01-08 16:56

I think The One Within the Villainess counts?

Nightwish19762026-01-08 17:22

This sounds interesting..

ori-os2026-01-08 18:57

The One within the Villainess and this story are some of the best among the villainess stories

Warm-Enthusiasm-95342026-01-08 19:44

Soon we'll have seen almost all of the best ones, after that one and Observation Log. The only really good one that I can think of that hasn't gotten an announcement is *Tales of Reincarnation in Maydare*.

Lenna_Sakura2026-01-08 18:12

Not an anime, but there's Haunted Duke's Daughter. I like these stories since they can be relatable as a plural person.

azopeFR2026-01-08 16:26

The first episode of this adaptation look good so far

Hitman71282026-01-08 16:26

Poor Constance, witnessing Scarlett's public execution in the town square at the age of 6.

When Brenda hesitates to say that Constance didn't steal her hairpin and Pamela from the balcony sees what happens and plays opportunist by framing her.

It was satisfying when Scarlett intervened and then returned fire with Constance spilling the beans about secretly witnessing Pamela and Neil kiss. But Constance is now roped in to Scarlett's own personal agenda.

Also, music is spectacular

mekerpan2026-01-08 16:59

I wonder what threat Pamela used to force Brenda to coooperate in the scheme? I wonder if Pamela is now cast out (or did she die dancing)? And how about the fiance who Pamela seduced? Is he gone. Will we have an almost whole new cast of secondary characters now?

feb9142026-01-08 23:24

Eris said that Brenda been around Pamela often, so she's been one of her sidekick, though seems forced to do so.

mekerpan2026-01-08 23:25

Yes. Brenda seems extremely uncomfortable around Pamela -- sort of like she is acting under extreme compulsion (threates to her family, perhaps).

Frontier2462026-01-08 20:50

>It was satisfying when Scarlett intervened and then returned fire with Constance spilling the beans about secretly witnessing Pamela and Neil kiss. But Constance is now roped in to Scarlett's own personal agenda.

Good news! You're free of a cheating scumbag! Bad news, you've been roped into a ghost Villainess' revenge crusade!

NoNameSwitzerland2026-01-08 22:52

So she is in debt to Scarlet and in debt financially without rich Fiancé financer.

Coranis2026-01-09 04:12

> in debt financially without rich Fiancé financer.

Maybe not. The deal was that they'd get engaged and it was annulled because of what he did so his father may still be stuck paying.

HeadBoardcu2026-01-09 04:26

Probably compensation for the 'humiliation' and 'dishonor' he caused to his daughter and their family.

justking14142026-01-09 22:08

Any good contract like that between nobles probably includes a pretty big clause saying cheaters get screwed out of everything.

That’s the entire premise of, “of course I’ll claim palimony”

Careful_Ad_90772026-01-09 02:23

If I know my villainess shows, unless this is Yuri she will get to meet some hot decent guys.

RavenWolf12026-01-09 02:46

Not every villainess shows are romance.

szalhi2026-01-08 16:28

[Well, at least some vaguely remember Scarlett's personality from a decade ago.](https://i.imgur.com/55lEVSU.jpeg)

I've always got to watch the villainess' of the season. This time it's a ghost pact.

Frontier2462026-01-08 20:23

Kind of getting the vibe that Scarlett was an accomplice to the twisted and brutal games of cat-and-mouse the nobility played against each other in her prime but then it was turned against her when she was accused.

thisisdropd2026-01-08 16:32

A villainess series with a ghost spin? This is interesting.

Pamela's a total bitch that it became satisfying to see Scarlet turn things around. It's a treat to see the gradual shift of her look from smug to frightened. To add icing on the cake, some of the adult ladies aren't too fond of her.

Do wonder why Constance's the only one who could see Scarlet. I also expect to see the latter inhabiting the former's body a couple more times if not regularly seeing as they had made a pact.

Spectacular performance from Kana Ichinose. She sounded nothing like Grail when playing the Scarlet-possessed one.

mekerpan2026-01-08 16:44

\>> Do wonder why Constance's the only one who could see Scarlet

Clearly the two bonded right before Scarlet's execution, when she gave Constance a (wistful?) smile -- and then Constance was splattered by Scarlet's blood. Interesting that -- as of yet -- neither seems to remember that brief moment.

KumaKumaGambler2026-01-08 17:00

Yup, I believe it was the contact with Scarlet's blood which allows Constance to see Scarlet's ghost / spirit today.

I am actually curious what will happen when Constance and Scarlet recall that this is not the first time meeting each other.

mekerpan2026-01-08 17:02

I am thinking it was the eye contact PLUS the blood. Certainly the executioners etc also got splattered by blood.....

DaydreamingIns0mniac2026-01-09 07:01

Scarlett also appeared to be saying something to her (that we could not hear) right before she was executed. I’m curious if that has something to do with it as well.

Mana_Croissant2026-01-08 19:14

I think Constance probably remembers, it would be hard to forgot someone getting beheaded in front of you, but might have forgotten what exactly Scarlet said to her. Scarlet on the other hand explicitly confirms she has no recollection of her execution day so she does not remember Constance

Zeikos2026-01-08 21:30

She was six, I wouldn't be surprised if she suppressed the memory. It was incredibly traumatic.

cleaulem2026-01-08 20:38

This episode was worth it just to get this Kana Ichinose performance as the wicked villainess. Usually she mainly voices more mild mannered characters, so this was a nice change.

HolyDragSwd25002026-01-08 23:57

Instead of getting One Punched. She got humiliated in front of everyone and danced till death

BBryant3rd2026-01-09 03:08

I would assume her being able to see her is due to her actions before she was killed. Looked like Scarlett smiled and said something before she died. I was hoping it will mean that the curse she put on everyone wouldn't apply since it seemed like she may have realized that she didn't take joy in what was happening like the others.

lasse14082026-01-08 16:33

Wow that was quite brutal first episode. Dancing till death, public execution.

Just burn all nobles, they are twisted and evil af.

kalirion2026-01-08 20:12

> Dancing till death

That part really made no sense, a bunch of rich nobles lynching a rich noble girl on the spot, alongside the son of the party host no less. They went all evil red glowy eyed, so maybe they're all witches or something.

feb9142026-01-08 23:22

Or the Curse of Scarlett got to them. She may have mind control power

AlphaBreak2026-01-09 00:35

And the guy seemed fine ish. Like obviously the cheating isnt good, but he was completely in the dark on the hair pin thing. I don't know that the punishment for canoodling should be the death sentence.

kalirion2026-01-09 00:36

That's what they're punishing the girl for though, not the frame job but the "stealing" of MC's fiancee.

OldInstruction53682026-01-09 04:39

Which makes you wonder how the crowd was going to punish Constance.

The crime for stealing another woman's fiance was an *immediate* public execution.

Would the crime for stealing an expensive piece of jewelry have also resulted in immediate mob justice? If not an execution, then some sort of public flogging or other humiliation on the spot?

If so, then that makes Pamela all the more awful. This society appears to be obscenely brutal, so framing Constance wasn't just a way to break off her engagement, but could have resulted in severe bodily harm and/or death.

But yeah, the glowing red eyes before the 'death by dancing' was hella sus: what is *wrong* with these people?

I'm beginning to think that young Lord.... Hastings? Wasn't merely a coward, but that he was legitimately terrified the mob would turn on him too if he had unsuccessfully defended Constance. Like if his voice wasn't enough to sway the crowd, he'd hang next to her as an accomplice.

Because these nobles do NOT fuck around.

BosuW2026-01-09 05:03

I don't think they're gonna kill her.

... just, y'know, excruciating torture

Mana_Croissant2026-01-09 00:45

The party host is not the father of the guy.

SoggsTheMage2026-01-08 20:18

> Just burn all nobles, they are twisted and evil af.

I agree. It actually makes me conflicted about continuing to watch the show. As whole it felt unnecessarily cruel. The synopsis otherwise reads interesting.

Zeikos2026-01-08 21:25

Where's Robespierre when you need him.
There's plenty of anime where someone like him is sorely needed.

aquaticshrimp2026-01-08 21:52

i mean, this animu seems to go for the hardcore fairy tales before they got turned into morality tales by the Grimm Brothers. Sometimes these fantasy nobles just need to be taken down a few pegs or with guillotines.

Zeikos2026-01-08 23:19

I find the romanticization of aristocracy in anime very grating, more than most other things people (rightfully, to be fair) complain about.

Yesshua2026-01-08 23:12

The episode could have done a better job with that shot. Were they actually put to death? That feels... extreme. At this point I'm guessing it was more of a public humiliation / push them to the edge punishment. Both because being put to death doesn't match the crime, and also because it would make sense for both of those characters to remain present in the story. Also the shot with all the red eyes made me wonder if the evil villainess's curse was in play?

So yeah, they left that a little more ambiguous than I think they should have. I suspect next week as our heroine deals with the fallout we'll get more specificity.

cleaulem2026-01-08 20:37

That part is actually from Snow White. In the original fairy tale this was the punishment for the evil stepmother in the end.

HolyDragSwd25002026-01-08 23:54

Did the other person also died dancing too?

cleaulem2026-01-09 00:23

Yes, she did

mmcjawa_reborn2026-01-09 05:06

Do we know they are dead? I thought I saw Pamela in the ED still. Her feet might just be mutilated.

AdvielOricon2026-01-08 16:35

How can so much volume posses such a small vessel.

Magnafeana2026-01-08 16:36

Here we goooo!! We got a Scarlet last season, now we get on this season, and they are both baddies, I am pleased.

Scarlett is *so* gorgeous, but I kept waiting for the OnK eye to happen. I can’t explain why.

IDGAF how overthinking I am, that bitch only showed half his face with that haircut, that means he only showing half his personality.

Hearing that わたくし ✋🏾😮‍💨

Drag them down, girl, drag them down! They came for you, so you send for them!

*Eeeeeeeeeee* oooo we didn’t need that blood SFX my ears 😬

Why does the OST sound like I’m about to see an shounen boss fight? But I love it!

***

My favorite reason I like this series is that it’s not an isekai. Not that I don’t love OIs—I do—but fantasy villainess stories that rely on regression or other supernatural elements are my shit. Another!

Kana Ichinose voicing Constance while being possessed just makes me giggle when she was a sapphic bimbo gundam pilot (Suletta, *Gundam: Witch from Mercury*) and Fern (*Frieren*).

Suzushiro, show off the range, girl! I can’t believe she’s even voicing our “jirai” girlie this season.

More than ready for Azakami’s voice in this.

The ED is a vibe!!

thisisdropd2026-01-08 16:59

Sayumin is also the quiet Iko in Tune In to the Midnight Heart. She's got five main roles this season. What an insane schedule.

Magnafeana2026-01-08 17:03

She’s working so hard, oh my goodness!!!

Se7en_Sinner2026-01-08 16:36

Scarlett possessing Constance is like having a high ranking player smurfing on your account. An anime about having an alter ego dominate games of wit basically makes this villainess Yu-Gi-Oh.

TalkLessShillMore2026-01-08 20:07

Holy shit villainess Yu-Gi-Oh is perfect

maddoxprops2026-01-08 22:44

Huh. I never made that connection, but it is 100% spot on. XD

Frontier2462026-01-08 20:49

Also was Kana Ichinose actually playing Scarlett in Constance's body? Because if so...wow.

Obaruler2026-01-09 00:07

> villainess Yu-Gi-Oh

That's .... damn, spot on. xD

This one looks interesting for sure; I was to go "meh, another villainess story" (but still watch it), but this concept seems fresh.

zenithfury2026-01-09 03:58

Oh no, who killed the Mad Dog Princess, Scarlet?? 😭

mmcjawa_reborn2026-01-09 05:01

I'm pretty sure the sword would have bounced off the other Scarlet's neck during that execution, followed shortly by the executioner being punched into space...

BlankHeroineFluff2026-01-09 13:37

Nah, if you remember the first ep of May I Ask for One Final Thing?, *that* Scarlet wouldn't have let it get to this point lol. She'd definitely have pummeled her accusers first ✨*elegantly*✨ the moment she's framed lmao

LeonKevlar2026-01-08 16:39

Considering this opened [with a public beheading](https://i.imgur.com/MxYzMpY.jpeg), I expected this to be a bit more different. Still, then we timeskip to your standard villainess start [where Constance's fiance is having an affair](https://i.imgur.com/d9Z36YS.jpeg) and [she gets pinned for a crime she did not commit.](https://i.imgur.com/cGEbWEM.jpeg)

Thankfully, we didn't have to endure your usual villainess start, where Constance would get humiliated and kicked out. Instead, she [gets possessed by a ghost](https://i.imgur.com/AKMsopT.jpeg) who proceeds to [destroy Pamela with facts and logic](https://i.imgur.com/4DEKgqY.jpeg) after finally [convincing the cowardly eyewitnesses to speak up](https://i.imgur.com/CyTU87g.jpeg)

And Constance didn't just destroy Pamela, [she even ended her engagement!](https://i.imgur.com/fLbFiuG.jpeg) Watching those noble ladies [circle Pamela like they're a pack of wolves ready to hunt](https://i.imgur.com/segNQ2U.jpeg) was actually terrifying. I did not expect them to punish Pamela [by making her dance non-stop until her feet were bleeding.](https://i.imgur.com/VbAxauO.jpeg) O_O

Alright, [I am already sold on these two.](https://i.imgur.com/dmEc1Jb.jpeg) I can't wait to see what kind of things Scarlett will make Constance do so she can get her revenge on the Prince.

Ocixo2026-01-08 18:52

> [by making her dance non-stop until her feet were bleeding.](https://imgur.com/VbAxauO)

It’s a terribly bad idea to anger a room of nobles.

Not only did Pamela steal another person’s fiancé, she indirectly also made a fool out of everyone who’d supported Constance’s engagement to Neil.

oedipusrex3762026-01-09 04:20

>she indirectly also made a fool out of everyone who’d supported Constance’s engagement to Neil.

That's a really good reason to point out. They might punish Pamela on Constance's behalf, but deep down they’re really doing it for their own satisfaction. They hold a grudge.

mmcjawa_reborn2026-01-09 05:11

My sense is that Pamela was punished more for being outplayed and getting caught, then the actual act. Based on their depiction at the end I doubt these folks actually care about cheating or framing someone for a crime

kalirion2026-01-08 20:14

> I did not expect them to punish Pamela by making her dance non-stop until her feet were bleeding. O_O

Sounded like they're going to keep at it until she's dead?

Frontier2462026-01-08 20:23

Or at least until she finally collapsed.

Zeikos2026-01-08 21:33

She's dead even if she survives, that was social suicide.
She won't be able to show her face in "polite" society for the rest of her life. There's no coming back.
She'd be lucky to get a pity stipend from her family and lover, assuming he doesn't bail, which he likely will.

Frontier2462026-01-08 20:26

I felt for Constance that she seems like a genuinely good and sincere girl trying to do her best and make the most out of her situation...even if it involved getting cheated on, framed for a crime by the girl NTR'ing her, and also possessed by a ghost.

But I also utterly adored Scarlett!Constance taking everyone, especially Pamela, to task.

NationalStrategy2026-01-08 16:42

Why didn't anyone take Constance out of the execution zone, did no one see the 6 year old girl?

azopeFR2026-01-08 16:44

why would they ? it a public execution people are allow to seen it

NationalStrategy2026-01-08 16:50

I’m not saying that she shouldn’t be allowed to see the execution, I’m talking about her being in the execution zone

azopeFR2026-01-08 16:51

i think the guard just don't care about a 6 year old

Vier-Kun2026-01-08 17:33

I think that she just wasn't actually in the execution zone, and it's an artistic liberty, for flavor.

kalirion2026-01-08 20:15

It's not like it's an AOE execution, she was in no danger.

NationalStrategy2026-01-08 20:18

She still shouldn’t be that close

Shark032_2026-01-08 17:39

More importantly: why didn’t anyone saved Scarlet? There were only 2 stupid guards, it was pretty easy

Vier-Kun2026-01-08 19:35

Why would anyone save her? First, the whole crowd was quite strongly hating on her. Second, her crime as an attempt to assassinate the prince, and a verdict was already given, that'd kind of confrontation towards the royal family would net you the death penalty as well.

two villainess Scarletts in a row and I honestly don’t know which I was more excited for

Frontier2462026-01-08 20:16

And they both look amazing in red, have sensual voices to die for, and utterly eviscerate their enemies.

This Scarlet just uses her words instead of her fists.

Zeikos2026-01-08 21:26

> This Scarlet just uses her words instead of her fists.

For now, at least, we don't know how it'll pan out. After all, the other Scarlet was scalding with her words as well :,)

HolyDragSwd25002026-01-08 23:51

All happened at a ball too.

NanDemoKnaives2026-01-08 22:12

I can say I was more excited for Scarlet rather than Scarlett.

94Temimi2026-01-09 19:19

A Scarlett in red administering divine punishment upon those who wrong her is my new favourite genre of anime.

diacewrb2026-01-08 16:45

Ruining the MC's engagement publicly in the first episode never ends well in anime.

Thought Pamela would get a punch to the face, but being force to dance until her feet bled was probably worse.

Mana_Croissant2026-01-08 19:16

Well the twist here is that MC (or at least Scarlet in Constance’s stead) ended her own engagement before the male party could even attempt to

ObvsThrowaway51202026-01-08 16:45

Classic MC frame job complete with cheating fiancé and triflin ass side piece. But man, hell hath no fury like a waifu ghost lol. Plain Jane Connie’s way too meek so I guess she needs Scarlett to handle shit. This one doesn’t punch people though lol. Kind of nice to see Pamela get her comeuppance. She’s gonna need to see someone about them feet.

Pretty decent ep. Keen to see how this vengeance goes for Scarlett. I’m guessing she also got betrayed by her betrothed and executed when she tried to fight back against that skank that stole her man.

AceSoldia2026-01-08 16:52

That was fun, glad that girl got utterly obliterated

Admirable_Attorney402026-01-08 16:56

Villainess and her name is Scarlett?

Sign me up for it, here we go again

Minus the punching

She can hurt you in other ways

KumaKumaGambler2026-01-08 16:57

When acting with sincerity does not work, you need someone like Scarlett to back you up.

In addition, acting with sincerity and honesty, I admit I am watching this title for busty Scarlett, and her intense purple eyes.

Frontier2462026-01-08 20:25

Is Scarlett the bustiest Villainess character? I don't think Rishe, Grace, Bakarina, or Punch!Scarlett were pushovers in the chest department, but they also didn't have their massive Villainess boobs popping out of their dresses like this Scarlett does.

oxlemf102026-01-08 16:59

I like surprises in these shows, but I definitely wasn't expecting to see an anime about a ghost villain.

Obviously, Scarlett is using her own interests here, but she prevented Constance from being executed, and I have to say, Constance desperately needs new friends, because Brenda had the most to gain by not being part of that plan.

Anyway, I'm hyped for this show

Vier-Kun2026-01-08 17:08

None of Constance's friends were present; the only friends of hers that we met were Kate and Mylene, who were not present at the party. She could hardly remember what Brenda's name was at first because she only knew her as a girl who's usually around Pamela.

oedipusrex3762026-01-08 18:14

I think Brenda was from Pamela's circle

itsconsolefreaked2026-01-08 17:01

See you next week in what I hope will be as good as the first episode

MayonakaMadaraka2026-01-08 17:03

Sweet sweet revengy incoming 🙌

Local_Pickle_47172026-01-08 17:10

That set up didn't even make sense. People saw Brenda talk to Constance about the hair ornament and watch her hand it to her and hold it for her in her bag. Even if Brenda lies it comes off as very forced on Pamela's part to accuse Constance out of nowhere. Why steal something when you're marrying for money anyway?

If you wanted her fiancée and were already romantically involved with him and didn't wind up with him due to a political marriage what makes you think this sort of thing would work? Clearly Neil's family chose Constance. Pamela is quite the idiot.

ChapinThrowaway2026-01-08 17:42

Pamela's family obviously has some clout. None of the people who saw it wanted to speak out because it'd be their word vs Pamela's and they are likely lower on the totem pole than her.

It wasn't until Scarlett basically told that kid that he'd go to hell for not coming forward that he finally did.

> Pamela is quite the idiot.

And yeah also this. Not every teenage kid is some kind of criminal mastermind. I've met lots of kids who think they are being sneaky shits when they are actually transparent as hell. Especially one as entitled as Pamela.

LiamOmegaHaku2026-01-08 18:31

Yeah. This feels very...realistic to me? How many bitchy noble girls have we seen lord their power over those they see as "lesser" than to fuel their own ego. Hell, it happens in normal school to many of us.

daspaceasians2026-01-09 03:49

I'm a substitute teacher at a high school and believe me, Pamela acting all high and mighty while trying to pull off the dumbest schemes possible in front of many, many witnesses is very realistic for a teenager.

danlong872026-01-08 17:46

For me, the setup phase of these kind of shows are just a formality at this point, since they are all similar and I just almost skip it up to the real story lol

Think of it like those isekai where the protagonist is sent to another world trope

Local_Pickle_47172026-01-08 17:51

That's true, but I think that means they both wind up getting lazy whether it's in writing or in some other way. We now have isekai anime that skip the isekai process or where it's almost never mentioned. Sooner or later, it'll happen with Akuyaku Reijou series as well.

oedipusrex3762026-01-08 19:46

While Connie being wronged is a pretty generic setup, this episode does important groundwork. It establishes that Scarlett can possess Connie’s body and gives a clear read on Scarlett’s overall demeanor. It also covers a lot in one go like the Grail family’s financial situation and Scarlett breaking off Connie’s engagement for her

nsleep2026-01-08 18:06

Works under the same logic of "why would anyone side with or ignore the bully, and let them do their thing when the bullied is obviously in the right?" Because she can, and no one cared about Constance enough to side with her. If anything, it's entertainment for the heartless.

Local_Pickle_47172026-01-08 18:14

Yeah, but it entirely falls apart if Constance doesn't flounder like she did. It's not like a regular bully confrontation because it relies on the bully's supposed good will.

Reemys2026-01-08 18:24

I think this is a social experiment, anyone who doesn't immediate have an aversion to such a blatantly stupid and convenient, self-serving set-up just to make the MC look good and the other girl look bad... is going to fight the space bugs, because they won't ask a single question anyway...

Mana_Croissant2026-01-08 18:28

“people saw” That is LITERALLY the point though. Scarlet literally pointed out to some people who saw it and people later admitted they saw it. The thing is that no one wanted to stick their neck out to try to help the weak, poor and and miserable Constance since it would have no benefit and would potentially put them at odds with Pamela. They were content with watching. Only after Scarlet put up a powerful front that people started to come out with what they saw which is honestly realistic

ParasaurolophusZ2026-01-09 03:37

Not just that. With how quickly they all turned, I feel like the noble society here really is full of people who just enjoy seeing the weak suffer.

Warm-Enthusiasm-95342026-01-08 20:12

I cannot imagine the paradise you live in where you don't think this all makes perfect sense. At the very least, Pamela gets to bully her rival and make her look bad. People love gossip, and they already probably know that Constance is marrying for money. They don't even need to believe it to repeat it.

Pamela doesn't know that there are witnesses (even Constance only noticed one). She probably knows that Constance is easily intimidated. She's a shy 16-year-old girl (we see her drinking alone in the corner) and something completely outside her experience is happening to her. Most people would freeze up in that situation.

The only implausible part is that the plan relies on Constance noticing Brenda's hair clip is loose.

Local_Pickle_47172026-01-08 21:09

They carried out the whole interaction in middle of a crowded party. Why wouldn't there be witnesses? If Constance is marrying for money, she has no need to steal because the creditors know they'll get their money once that goes through. She has shown no personal need for cash publicly and her and her family are in good repute in high society. She's not some beggar who lucked into being invited.

Yes, Pamela gets to bully her, but to what end? She won't get Neal who is in an arranged marriage, and she already one-upped Constance by kissing Neal in front of her. So, she just makes Constance look bad which makes Neal look bad by association and she also pulls this from nowhere because how would she know to get involved and decide to make a big fuss over it?

Constance isn't a social butterfly but she's a noble in noble society who is shown socializing throughout the episode just fine. I can understand her being shocked by the accusation, but if she just calmly went "No, I held it for her while she went to get her bag. I'd be happy to give it back right now" I don't see the situation going anywhere.

I agree about the last bit.

Marth-Koopa2026-01-08 17:12

Pretty generic sequence of events to set things up. Unremarkable first episode but I'm curious to see how it'll turn out (for the busty ghost lady)

DirectionExact312026-01-08 17:24

Alright, solid first episode! Loved the opening. Can’t wait to see Connie and Scarlet’s adventures unfold in animated form.

zool7142026-01-08 17:30

Saw this episode at AFA several weeks back lol. I’m invested in the revenge part but had a hard time getting interested in everything else. Do love the VAs though. And interestingly after the screening, Ichinose Kana said she did the voice when Constance was possessed. I was impressed cos I thought it was Sayumi

SpiritualFold42752026-01-08 17:40

The blonde girls existence is completely pointless. Might as well of made it just a show about the black hair purple eyed girl the possession and 2 main characters is so random and they make it unnecessary by making the blonde girl a gaping fish

oedipusrex3762026-01-08 17:44

We’re off to a strong first episode. The show doesn’t pull any punches, opening with a public execution right in the intro. It sells the premise immediately about “This is the story of Scarlett Castiel’s death.”

I like how the Grail family still wields influence despite being a debt-ridden noble house. Their motto, “Be sincere” is clearly important here since we see how Constance gains support from other nobles and has them punish Pamela themselves. A lot of quiet social power play at work here, with status and influence letting society handle offenders.

I also liked the small details, like Scarlett calling Constance “[omae (girl)](https://imgur.com/a/girl-N4PEDUN)” which subtly tells us that Scarlett is from a way higher position than Constance Grail.

I love how Scarlett goes straight for the kill, attacking Pamela for kissing Constance’s fiancé.

Love the OP.

SYZekrom2026-01-08 17:57

The people in this show's world are very murder-torture happy huh

NoNameSwitzerland2026-01-08 23:04

You have to find other ways to entertain without social media.

Reemys2026-01-08 18:23

You CAN'T BE REAL! Thousands of years of fiction, and THIS is what humanity descended into?

The whole set-up and delivery at 8:30 of the main girl stealing the maid's accessory IS SO DUMB

I have nothing else to say. I know I am not the target audience of such stories, but this is an affront to writing as a concept.

HotBloodedNinja2026-01-08 19:00

Dang, can't remember the last time I had this level of satisfaction from 1st episode.

Nesp22026-01-08 20:15

I was expecting to see our poor MC to be publicly humiliated and forced to live in some barracks. Glad that wasn't the case. Great start!

EnvironmentalBad94792026-01-08 19:12

You would think Constance would have a different reaction to Scarlett given the whole blood splatter and trauma at the beginning.

But nope, just another historical figure, not like she got a front row seat and a souvenir or anything. I'm surprised Constance is not suspicious of getting cursed from skin contact with a witch's blood or something along those lines.

Queue_Jumping_Quack2026-01-08 19:22

A cracking first episode: the greatest villainess of the past comes back as a ghost for her revenge and off handedly obliterates a mediocre villainess of the present. The episode runs through the typical tropes present in every one of these otome series, but it has a surprising darkness in it with the execution scene and Pamela being forced to dance until her feet were bleeding.

I'm onboard for the ride and to see how the partnership of Constance and Scarlett works out. Would be a cool setup for a doomed yuri series, but no matter.

Yesshua2026-01-08 19:22

Hey, where the hell did *this* come from. This was great!

Starting with an execution and actually committing to "Hey, this is kinda fucked up" is a great starting point. Not because I think violence is badass or whatever, but it establishes the stakes of the story. This is a world where the worst can and does happen.

The way the protagonist is dealing with her fiancee cheating on her is good, because she's not in hysterics. She recognizes that this was never a marriage for love, so she's not happy about what's happening but she also recognizes that the dude being into someone else isn't, like, the end of the world either.

Hey, there's some people with different body types! Not a ton, but we always give bonus points for an anime with actual distinct builds. Hope to get lots more from the best friend character.

The classic villainess starting gun "shamed in front of everyone at a ball" gets a fantastic twist here. The scenario gets uno reversed by a... ghost possession? Not only is that new, but it's extremely clear that this is not a nice ghost. In framing our nice girl as a villainess this court has accidentally summoned the real deal lol.

At the end with the bloody dancing, it's impressed on us as viewers that there are real stakes for everyone involved. Even for the nobility, there are consequences that range from bloody to lethal. The execution was not just something from the past, we're in a dangerous society.

So all in all, this rips. This is awesome.

The part about "my family motto is being sincere" is not my favorite. You can have an honest character without making that some weird moral code. In fact it's much more affecting if a character is trying to be honest just because that's how she likes to be as opposed to a character trying to be honest because that's the family motto or whatever.

ThousandYearOldLoli2026-01-09 02:34

One thing I want to note, as you identified this seems to be a pretty brutal society and there's clearly a lot of politicking and bureaucratic mentions, I get the impression the family motto thing is not just a "this character is sincere" but this character has a *reputation* of being sincere. If I know anything about these kinds of societies in stories that translates to "everyone thinks you're an easy mark but they are being polite about it".

Yesshua2026-01-09 02:58

Yeah. The most predictable pattern this could fall into is "Good natured Constance gets in over her head by being guileless and trusting the wrong people, then ghost villainess takes the wheel to bail her out". Kind of recycling this episode 1 climax in different scenarios.

If we're lucky it will be a more equitable relationship where Constance grows a spine and stands up for her way of operating and she's able to get some W's through being a decent person. That way it's a good cop/bad cop dynamic and the characters can both grow, learning from the other. I would love that.

ThousandYearOldLoli2026-01-09 04:21

Let's hope we see that.

ActualRound76992026-01-08 19:24

This first episode was a banger. The party scene was just \*chef’s kiss\*

metaaltheanimefan2026-01-08 19:27

A child witnessing a public execution is actually realistic bc public executuons used to be enteryai ment people brought their childeren to see

nuxxism2026-01-08 19:33

Crunchyroll's description:

>Betrayed by her fiancé’s lover and sentenced to public execution, Constance Grail, a plain viscount’s daughter known for her honesty, faces death—until a mysterious voice offers salvation. Scarlett Castiel, a noblewoman long thought dead, may be her only hope. Together, these unlikely allies uncover a dark conspiracy lurking in the heart of high society, where betrayal, secrets, and power collide.

Was this another AI thing because that is clearly wrong. Constance was never even close to being sentenced to public execution.

Vier-Kun2026-01-08 21:25

Darn, I didn't check Crunchyroll's description because I've known of this series for years- yeah, that description is honestly just plainly wrong.

Zeikos2026-01-08 21:39

It was a kind of execution, a social one at that.
But yeah, I see what you're saying, I don't put it beyond human error but it being AI feels likely.

Ashteron2026-01-08 20:04

I'm somewhat tired of *person gets framed in a banal way* trope and one note villain written only for viewer's pleasure of them getting comeuppance.

rom8462026-01-08 20:08

Scarlett evil spirit can not be that cute.

kalirion2026-01-08 20:10

With the engagement annulled, won't her family be back in bankruptcy?

WTF happened after possessed MC exited the ballroom? They just went all evil glowy eyed and forced that torture punishment on a noble girl (AND on the son of the party host???) because of that villainess stunt she pulled. That just came out of nowhere and made no sense. "The first in ten years." - did the ghost bewitch them too? Or were they already witches? I hope this gets explained soon.

"The brainless prince and the scheming princess framed me and had me executed." "How can you speak of them that way???"

oedipusrex3762026-01-08 20:23

>"The brainless prince and the scheming princess framed me and had me executed." "How can you speak of them that way???"

I think Connie was shocked by Scarlett's unfiltered and rude way of speaking

shad792026-01-08 20:13

[A really fun start to the series](https://imgchest.com/p/md7obnpr94p)! [Scarlett](https://imgchest.com/p/pg73ona6o7r) seems like a great villainess; I love how she completely destroyed [Pamela](https://imgchest.com/p/na7kk6lwq78) and saved Constance from being framed for the crime.

Since [Scarlett](https://imgchest.com/p/pg73ona6o7r) and [Constance](https://imgchest.com/p/bp45olvnv75) are polar opposites in terms of personality, I expect [it'll be really fun](https://cdn.imgchest.com/files/c829ae094297.png) to [watch these two work together](https://cdn.imgchest.com/files/489640d9bb03.png) to avenge Scarlett's death.

Also, I can't wait to see how [Constance](https://imgchest.com/p/bp45olvnv75) will change because of [Scarlett](https://imgchest.com/p/pg73ona6o7r). She definitely has a lot of potential for growth.

Here my screenshot albums from the episode:

* [Scarlett](https://imgchest.com/p/pg73ona6o7r)

oedipusrex3762026-01-08 20:15

I don’t think people talk enough about how intentionally plain Connie is. There’s the scene where she’s genuinely grateful just to be engaged to what’s-his-name, and Pamela being bitter that he chose Connie, a pale, unremarkable girl, over her. Connie is written as modest and unassuming from the ground up.

HugeRichard112026-01-09 09:54

I definitely noticed it as she was going through her thoughts and noticed she kind of seems to be accepting everything without a fight. Had a strong vibe of a normal girl that hoped for love while in a den of wolves. Which I assume is because of her family motto and reputation

cleaulem2026-01-08 20:33

Making someone dance in glowing hot shoes until they die actually comes from Snow White. In the original tale from the Brothers Grimm this is how the evil stepmother is punished in the end.

A villainess ghost revenge story. That sounds like a lot of fun, especially with Scarlett being wicked as hell. How she delivered her unveiling of Pamela's evil scheme was so satisfying to watch. I can't wait for more.

djthomp2026-01-08 20:38

Pretty quick turnabout on Pamela's plot. I find it a little interesting that most or maybe even all of what Scarlet in Connie's body said to fight back Connie could have said herself but just didn't have the gumption to say it. Though maybe Connie hadn't quite noticed all four or five witnesses who could be called on.

Scarlet remembering all their names after a bit makes me assume she was using Connie's memories, I wonder if that will be relevant eventually.

Another though, I wonder where the Eris part of the show name comes from, I don't think anyone we've seen has that in their name. Normally when an anime uses Grail they're just doing a grail legend sort of thing, and while they're doing that too given Holy Grail in the name it's also Connie's last name too.

gnome-cop2026-01-08 20:41

This woman has aura. I’d buy that she can lay a nasty curse.

This whole party thing was seeming a bit suspicious from the start.

Okay, this Pamela woman is legitimately infuriating. That smug face is just begging to be punched.

Lesson one, there is always a bigger fish. She fucked around and found out that there’s a better player at the manipulation and scheming game in the audience.

Fine, I’ll admit I was a little bit vengeful towards Pamela but that’s such an overkill punishment. I don’t like her but that’s unnecessarily harsh. And they would presumably have subjected Constance to that if she lost. I have the feeling those nobles just wish to see bloodshed no matter what. (Maybe someone should direct a little bit of bloodshed their way.)

Lesson two, good deeds pay off but not without a cost. She made it out of the trap thanks to letting her into the party but is now tangled up in assisting a vengeful ghost achieve her probably bloody vengeance.

I love a good royal conspiracy to be dismantled. Let’s get to it!

It has been too long since we last had a noblewoman named Scarlett brutally destroying her enemies after being framed. The time has come and the tax must be paid! THE MAD DOG NOBLEWOMAN SHALL RISE AGAIN!

wloff2026-01-08 21:12

Mmh. The premise is interesting and the episode was quite entertaining, but honestly kinda silly and riddled with plot holes and inconsistencies. Pamela's entire plot didn't really make any sense whatsoever, either in motivation or execution. I thought it was a ploy to get Neil for herself, but apparently she just randomly disliked Constance and wanted to take her down? Because "ugh, it's annoying how she's so sincere"?

[](#etotamadunno)

Why exactly did Brenda play along with the plot? Why would Constance even supposedly still be in such dire need of money, if the whole point of marrying Neil was that his family would pay off their debts?

And was the whole plot really riding on the hope that "maybe no one who actually saw what happens speaks up", and Scarlett's fantastic reversal was essentially saying "no u" loud enough that someone did?

[](#animatedthink)

Pamela's punishment -- were they actually forced to dance to literal *death*, or not? -- seemed a bit over the top, and also made all her decisions until that point kinda unbelievable. If the stakes for getting caught, be it for adultery or lying, were really that high, would she really have flaunted her affair so openly (everyone was gossiping about it, after all) and taken such massive risks for almost no gain? But I'll give it a pass for now, on the notion that maybe it's some kind of evil ghost wizardry from Scarlett infecting the minds of the nobles, or something.

And the bloody feet thing looked *brutal*. It was kinda cool. So I'll allow it.

[](#biiru)

With all that said, it was an entertaining time, and I'll definitely keep watching to see which way this develops!

Zeikos2026-01-08 21:34

Two murders in the first episode, that's impressive.

bensor742026-01-08 21:42

Holy... thought it was kinda meh until Scarlet possessed her, and fatally burnt the two of them in the process. Absolute revenge.

I think Scarlet was like Connie before being betrayed, and that's why Connie could see her, because they're similar.

froggyc192026-01-08 21:47

Did the nobles really publicly execute the son of the host and the girl during the party cause they had an affair? Wtf kind of world is this? I hope this gets explained later cause it honestly seemed excessive.

SopmodTew2026-01-08 21:59

Scarlett is a force to be reckoned with 😂

SoberMindless2026-01-08 22:00

It was a good episode, definitely a surprise. I didn't expect it to be so graphic in terms of violence. Although I felt it was a bit rushed, perhaps a 40-minute runtime would have been better? The execution of the villain and the punishment of the homewrecker were the highlights of the episode. Now we just have to wait for Constance to agree to help Scarlet.

I finally get to hear two of my current favourite seiyuus in the same anime: Sayumi Suzushiro and Kana Ichinose.

It reminds me of the first time I heard Nao Toyama and Kana Hanazawa working together.

Interestingly, I consider Suzushiro and Ichinose to be the successors of both seiyuus, respectively.

I see that Youhei Azakami is also in the cast.

Could it be that Guel Jeturk will now be able to have the love story he always dreamed of with Suletta Mercury?

NanDemoKnaives2026-01-08 22:11

Scarlett's definitely going to carry the show, the way she completely turned things around was satisfying. I hope the story is interesting and I'm sure her forgetting details of her execution day will be important.

Hamsworth blushing after he got talked down to was amusing.

Emergency-Onion45592026-01-08 23:51

I’m so excited for this story I love ghost stories and a beautiful villainess to sign me up. I didn’t think she’d actually be able to possess Constance that is so awesome. That switch up was gold. Also, I’m happy to see those nasty two timers get a taste of their own medicine. It seems like no one’s off the table as long as you have the masses on your side.

YlfaTheForsaken2026-01-09 00:18

A villainess story and a ghost story? Mama is here for this. Honestly this one I hadn't heard of, so I'm hoping it lands the execution well. I like the tone and atmosphere, doesn't feel like it'll do any comedy, and I like that, variety is the spice of life afterall and I've eaten lots of comedies lately. I mean even if it does, it'll still be fine for me.

Question, Miss Ghost is another Scarlet, is Scarlet considered a super sexy name like Julius is in Japan?

Okay so since I enjoy these like candy, I'm okay with it hitting all the tropes that's fine, but what had me clutching my pearls was 'rutting'. You ever read a piece of dialogue that's like 'Rut me proper' and like oh my gosh so rutting in the shrubbery is just so scandalous, something about fucking but described archaically, 💋 even if it is used against the an antagonist,

Ohh Constance, baby girl is so screwed, she got roped up in a messy probably prince killing scheme, always gotta read the fine print man, I don't have an inkling how she can manage that if she's just a viscount's daughter that's like barely above baron, good luck in your future endeavors Connie!

-whiteroom-2026-01-09 02:46

This one seems like a good one. The villainess genre seems to keep delivering quality while others deliver slop.

The ghost revenge twist is nice instead of making it an isekai. They don't have to force some Otome game angle, or "I'm trying to survive the in game death"

daspaceasians2026-01-09 03:29

This was an amazing start! We get another badass protagonist called Scarlett... only this time, she's a cunning noble ghost goth girl hellbent on revenge.

This show didn't fuck around and kicked off at 100km/h right off the bat. I certainly didn't expect seeing a girl get executed within the first few minutes but here we are.

That was the most satisfying way to stop a cheating fiancé and a dumb bitch from slandering someone. Go Scarlett!

I also hope we get to see Constance grow a backbone because of her being with Scarlett.

I'm fucking sold... and I want a full adaptation of this.

NoHead17152026-01-09 04:43

In a society full of backstabbing two-faced sniveling assholes, only a straight-talking merciless villainess can put them in their place. Constance is too pure for this world. She's doomed to lead the villainess life from here on out.

mmcjawa_reborn2026-01-09 05:00

Random Thoughts:

Okay, of the new shows I have watched the last couple of days...This is by far my favorite so far. I feel like a lot of the "Villainess" anime I have watched go for a lighter tone...certainly both last season did. So starting off with our actual villainess getting beheaded in a pretty grisly scene certainly set expectations.

Also the fact that we have two separate Scarlets as our villains in back to back anime is going to make discussing these shows a bit confusing.

Anyway we get the denunciation scene, and last season's Scarlet now has me spoiled to expect to see schemers getting punched in there face.

Nevermind, I think the verbal punching of the possessed MC is more vicious. Although she does share the other Scarlet's love of come downs...good use of rutting there...

The way the older nobles collected around the failed antagonist felt like a school of sharks smelling blood in the water. Didn't expect they would actually go full medieval on the punishment. I'm thinking we are going to need to go full French Revolution by the end of this series...

kryslogan2026-01-09 12:37

Well. I have a thing for redheads apparently! Its too early to decide which Scarlet, or Scarlett, I would prefer but, either is fabulously savage!

The dancing at the end; I read the Snow White comment above. In some versions of the Cinderella story the step mother also dances in hot shoes till death; maybe not in the original Aschenputtel tho.

I was frustrated that Constance is such a push over but, at least the resolution was creative; the set up was weak but, we moved past it fairly well.

The blood falling on Constance is perhaps the link to why she can see Scarlett.

I'm definitely locked in!
