#The Most Heretical Last Boss Queen: From Villainess to Savior spoilers

[moontheoretist]

I started watching this anime last season, but didn't have time to finish it, so I decided to catch up now, and damn Pride is so badass. She reminds me now a lot about Erza from Fairy Tail. The very fact that she is a last Boss of this otome game makes her so awesome.

I love OP characters. I adore them. Give me more.

The Summer 2023 anime season is starting y’all–and a must-see I’ll be recommending is The Most Heretical Last Boss Queen: From Villainess to Savior.

The premise of this type of story is pretty well established now, a girl finds herself reborn or transmigrated into the world of a game as the villainess character and must fight against their deathflags if they hope to make it to the end. However, this story comes with a twist.

Our main character, Pride, is the crown princess of a matriarchal society. Until recently, she’s been living a lavish life of near-exile by her mother in the countryside. The isolation and want for attention have made her a rather troublesome brat until a sudden headache brings back memories of her past life, more specifically, a game she played that is overlapping with her new life. After which, she gains what some believe is the power of precognition, or foresight, which is a royal-specific magical skill that only true heirs to the throne can gain. Thus begins her new life wherein she is constantly fighting against the perception of her bad behavior and villainess qualities of her childish past.

I’ll border the line of spoilers here and say that I rather dislike Pride’s family. Her mother perceived a vision in which Pride would be a terrible queen and sent her off to the countryside without further direct contact to be raised by servants who don’t know whether or not they can punish or control the princess. (In fact, they outright fear her tantrums.) Her father visits her infrequently and is the only parental provider of love throughout her life thus far, and he has either spoiled her near rotten because of that inconsistent visitation or out of quilt for keeping her so far away. From this, one can gather that Pride’s name and, by extension her sister’s name (Tiara), is meant to have a Puritan-like origin, in which the names remind the child of the future they’re parents see for them. “Pride” is a name meant to remind our leading lady of the sin she’ll likely fall to with Tiara being a sign that she has a gilded future ahead of her. Talk about harsh.

However, family issues aside–and in spite of her name–Pride becomes a relatively humble and good-natured leading character. She’s more than likable as a child prodigy and crown princess, with aims to truly guide the people under her down a much better path than her game counterpart.

It is an engaging and well-written story, with art and story that reminds me a lot of I’m the Villainess, So I’m Taming the Final Boss while still remaining unique.

So, definitely add this one to your watch list if you like the isekai, female power-fantasy genre!
