Since having begun to date Tatsumi, she has shown a jealous side, such as over Leone's usual flirty advances into Tatsumi, as well as lecturing him how he has to refuse such advances firmly as he now has a girlfriend. The villains specifically (Syura, Budou, Demons) have little to no character development, making their deaths feel empty.Over time, she develops romantic feelings for Tatsumi who returns the same feelings and the two having officially entered an intimate relationship. But now, characters are dying nearly every episode, not giving us, or the characters, much time to mourn their deaths. The pacing earlier on, we had several episodes to get to know characters before they were killed off. I won’t go too into detail regarding my thoughts on the adaptation, but I do think they are rushing it rather quickly. I don’t think (nor do I hope) that a conclusive ending is possible, given that there are only three episodes remaining. It diverged from the source material awhile back, but they did keep certain facts the same (Susanoo, Syura, Lubbock deaths). The series is at an interesting spot now. Either way, what’s done is done, so who’s next on the chopping block for Akame ga Kill? I have to say, Mine’s death probably would have been more impactful, had they shown more of their relationship. It’s a shame that their romance comes to an end so quickly after they’re finally able to admit it. Mine and Tatsumi had been growing closer in recent episodes, so their blossoming romance was no surprise. They managed to save Tatsumi, but in return, they lost two members of Night Raid (or 1 human life). I’d say that the mission overall was a failure. I guess it’s only fair that she sustained critical injuries from the highest ranking general of the capital. He was like a well respected older brother to Tatsumi, and is entrusting the future to him.Īfter they escape, it’s Mine’s turn to bite the dust. I have to say, he died a noble death and reminded me of Bulat. He’s well aware that there he has no chance of defeating Esdeath, but the least he can do is allow his friends to escape. If her offensive power wasn’t scary enough, she can stop time to turn things in her favor.Įven if he is just a Teigu, Susanoo decides to sacrifice himself for his comrades. Esdeath reveals her hidden ability, the power to literally freeze time. It’s unfortunate that they were stalling for time, since it clearly wasn’t on their side. The best they can do is stall for time while they rescue Tatsumi, and deal with Budou.ĭespite Najenda’s superior tactical skills, Esdeath’s sheer strength is enough to overwhelm them. Even with Susanoo, the two don’t stand a chance against the frost queen. Najenda had lost in the past, and she’s currently a shell of her former self. On the other side of the field, Esdeath and Najenda face off head to head. By using his strongest ability, he allowed Mine’s Pumpkin to increase its output, thus putting an end to their battle. Leone didn’t put up much of a fight, but Pumpkin was able to match him blow for blow. He definitely held up well against Mine and Leone, but I guess her Pumpkin’s special ability was made for this sole purpose. I was surprised at how well Esdeath took it, instead of breaking down, she accepted his decision, and will be the one to end his life.įor being the highest ranking general, you’d expect more from Budou. He straight up told her off, without any fear. He’s standing his ground now and refusing to sacrifice his values. When he was first kidnapped by her, she pushed him around as if he were a toy. He could have taken Esdeath’s offer, and been taken care of. I was glad to see Tatsumi stick with Night Raid to the very end. But Tatsumi has made such a big impact on their lives, and there is no way they can leave him behind. They could easily leave him, and continue pursuing their goal by recruiting new members. Yet, everyone is willing to take the risk to save Tatsumi. They have lost several longstanding members and knew exactly what they were signing up for. It’s the big day, Tatsumi’s execution, and the point where even the manga readers have no idea what’s next! I’m curious whether the manga will take inspiration from the anime, or choose a different route entirely.ĭeath is something that Night Raid members should be used to by now.
