Akami Ga Kill
アカメが斬る! (Akame ga Kiru!)
GenreAction Dark fantasy
Tatsumi is a fighter who, accompanied by his two childhood friends, sets off to the Capital in search of a way to make money to assist his poverty-stricken village. After being separated from his friends in a bandit attack, Tatsumi unsuccessfully attempts to enlist in the army and is swindled out of his money in the Capital. He is taken in by a noble family, but when an assassin group called Night Raid attacks, he learns that his noble hosts actually intended to torture and kill him as they had done with his friends.
As a result, he joins Night Raid, which consists of the swordswoman Akame, the beastly fighter Leone, the sniper girl Mine, the scissor-wielding Sheele, the string manipulator Lubbock, the armored warrior Bulat, and their leader Najenda, a former general of the imperial army. Night Raid is also part of the revolutionary forces assembled to overthrow the prime minister Honest who manipulates the young emperor for his personal gain despite the rest of the nation falling to poverty and strife.
The members of Night Raid carry Teigu (帝具?, anime: Imperial Arms), unique weaponry created 900 years ago out of extremely rare materials as well as legendary animals called Danger Beasts (危険種 kikenshu?). The power of the Teigu is so overwhelming that it is said that when two Teigu users fight each other, one of them is bound to die.
Although Night Raid successfully assassinate some of Honest's cohorts, they lose Sheele and Bulat in fights against capital garrison member Seryu and a group called the Three Beasts. After this Tatsumi is given Bulat's Teigu, Incursio. Honest and the emperor recruit Esdeath, a sadistic and powerful fighter from the North, to lead a group of Teigu-using warriors called the Jaegers. Night Raid, along with new recruits Susanoo (a humanoid Teigu owned by Najenda) and Chelsea, fight the Jaegers.
When the revolution gains momentum, Honest forms a new secret police force, the Wild Hunt, led by his own son, Syura. However, the Wild Hunt heavily abuses its authority by killing innocent civilians for their own plans, antagonizing both the Jaegars and Night Raid. After a battle between Wild Hunt and the Jaegers, with casualties from both sides, Esdeath blackmails Honest into dissolving the rest of Wild Hunt. Syura is killed by Lubbock after he captures both him and Tatsumi. Lubbock is killed while attempting to escape, and Tatsumi is sentenced to death despite Esdeath's attempts to convince him to join her. The remaining members of Night Raid attack the execution site to rescue Tatsumi while being pursued by the imperial general Budo, before Mine kills him at the cost of her Teigu, causing her to fall into a comatose state.
Due to the stress he experienced while escaping the execution site, Tatsumi goes through a grand transformation, which will cost him his life in the future. The Teigu he inherited from the late Bulat, Incrusio, has begun to consume him, and the doctor has predicted he has a few more times left where he can don Incrusio. As this occurs, Night Raid confronts the last members of Wild Hunt and finish them off, with Akame taking out big generals on the Empire's side. She leaves a message to a member of the Jaegers, Wave, to inform another member, Kurome (revealed to be her younger sister) that they are going to keep their promise. Wave tries to stop Kurome from going but she goes to fight anyway. Wave tries to stop the fight, but winds up fighting Tatsumi, and destroys Kurome's Teigu. With this, Wave and Kurome decide to run away and start a new life together.
After hearing the news of the remaining Jaegers deaths, Esdeath resumes her duties as general to hold off the Revolutionary Army when they begin a siege on the capital to remove Honest from power. As a last resort, Honest convinces the emperor himself to join the fight with his own Teigu. As this is happening, the remaining members of Night Raid perform their last tasks by assassinating the last government members pulling the strings behind the stage. They successfully do so with only Honest and Esdeath as their remaining targets.
To confront the emperor's Teigu, Tatsumi uses his last transformation and begins to change into a Danger Beast. Before his transformation is complete, he manages to beat the emperor with the help of Wave, and asks for Akame to kill him before he loses control and kills everyone. She does so and afterwards confronts Esdeath while Leone confronts Honest. In the end, Akame manages to defeat Esdeath, to which Esdeath, acknowledging her loss, commits suicide, regretting that she couldn't get Tatsumi to look at her. Tatsumi is revealed to be alive due to Akame killing the spirit of the Danger Beast, saving his soul instead, while Leone is mortally wounded by Honest, but fuses with the remains of her Teigu to give her enough time to defeat and capture him, thus ending the Revolutionary War.
For his crimes against the people, Honest is brutally executed slowly and painfully via dismemberment. The Emperor is publicly beheaded, but not before realizing his errors and accepts his punishment willingly. Tatsumi, forever trapped in his dragon form returns to Mine's side and Mine, who got pregnant from him before her coma recovers, and then they settle down to raise their child in Tatsumi's home village. Kurome and Wave end up together as well, and Najenda joins the effort to rebuild the empire with Akame, still working as an assassin to defend the restoring nation from its new enemies. She then heads out to another foreign land at the story's epilogue. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Akame_ga_Kill!)
