May I Ask for One Final Thing? Episode 9 Release Date Nears—Exact Time, Countdown, Where to Watch, and More
May I Ask for One Final Thing? returns with Episode 9 on November 21, 2025—arriving in some countries on November 22—as the fantasy saga accelerates in the wake of Episode 8’s shock twist in Scarlet’s arc.
Quick heads-up if you are following May I Ask for One Final Thing?: Episode 9 is right around the corner, and Episode 8 just dropped a pile of wild reveals that actually move the story instead of padding it. If you like a lead who can punch through problems (sometimes literally) without the show turning into either a mushy romance or nonstop gore, Scarlet continues to be the draw.
Episode 9 release: dates, times, and how this rollout works
The show sticks to a simple pattern in Japan: new episodes air Saturdays at 12:00 am JST. That means Episode 9 first hits Japanese TV on Saturday, November 22, 2025, at 12:00 am JST.
Streaming outside Japan lands a little earlier thanks to time zones. Crunchyroll has Episode 9 on Friday, November 21, 2025, and their live listing puts it at 8:30 am PT / 11:30 am ET. If you are syncing with Japan time, Crunchyroll shows it at 1:30 am JST, shortly after the local TV broadcast.

Previously on Episode 8 (spoilers below)
Episode 8, titled 'May I Offer You a Fist in Place of a Handkerchief?', digs into the church politics and then lights a match. Sigurd levels with Scarlet: Pope Sargon has a spy shadowing Diana, and here is the kicker — there are actually two Saints. One of them is Scarlet.
Because Diana is currently powerless, the barrier tied to the Gem cannot be restored the normal way. Scarlet tries to brute-force a fix by rewinding the Gem itself, and that is when the floor drops out again. The Palmist Church steps in with a Saint of its own: Terenezza — yes, the same Terenezza who pushed Scarlet's ex-fiancé Kyle into framing her and then ran off with him. She immediately orders her guards to kill Scarlet.
The chain of reveals keeps going. Dios is unmasked as the spy planted on Diana. We also learn that Diana's magic was stolen by Palmia and handed over to Terenezza. And Scarlet's supposed rival? She is actually Scarlet's avatar — the reincarnated soul of a Japanese teen named Teresa Himemiya. That is a lot to process, even by fantasy-anime standards.
To cap it, Chronoa gives Scarlet a pocket watch that is supposed to help reclaim Diana's powers.
Episode 9 is titled 'May I Explain That This is Not Something That Just Anyone Can Do?'
What Episode 9 is likely setting up
Expect Scarlet to wrestle with that pocket watch — it is clearly not plug-and-play — and for the show to keep poking at the two-Saint setup while Palmia/Palmist Church holds onto Diana's stolen magic. In other words, getting Diana back to full power is not going to be a straight line.
If you are catching up, May I Ask for One Final Thing? is streaming now on Crunchyroll. And for the trivia-inclined: Terenezza's full name is Terenezza Hopkins.
