The Emperor/Filler Plot

Note: Filler Events that happen in the anime only and does not constitute to the canon material.
After Bolic's assassination by Night Raid, the Emperor appears before the audience witnessing the intended execution of Tatsumi, following his capture in a failed attempt to infiltrate the royal palace with Lubbock killed, made an impressive speech before allowing the execution by Esdeath.

Later on, with the all-out revolt by the discontented masses and the Revolutionary Army, the Emperor was convinced by Honest that it's time to show the people why they should fear the ruler of the Empire as he presents the child Emperor the Shikoutazer, the "ultimate" Teigu. During the Revolutionary Army's siege, Night Raid had infiltrated the royal palace and entered the throne room with the Emperor, Honest and the late Great General Budo's Imperial Guard. Compelled to use the Shikoutazer, the Emperor unleashed it and caused massive death toll and collateral damage throughout the capital all for the sake of protecting the Empire, earning Tatsumi's anger of his blinded rash actions. In the battle, the Emperor easily overwhelmed the Night Raid member in spite of wielding Incursio even with the aid of Wave who finally saw the error of the Empire's ways and fought in defense of the people. The Emperor was eventually defeated after Tatsumi in his evolved Incursio destroyed the Shikoutazer, aiming for the weak spot but later died when attempting to save the civilians from its falling form.

In the aftermath of the Revolutionary Army's victory with Honest's death, the Emperor was put under custody and later sentenced to death by guillotine in punishment for his actions that would have brought the country that lasted over a thousand years into ruin. But before his death, the Emperor asks Najenda to help rebuild and watch over the nation while stating that he should not cry in front of the people upon facing death.

Before the creation of the retribution group, Mudi was one of the guardians of the tomb of the first emperor in Putra. While he was on the other mission all of the guardians were killed by Elite Seven. He decided to avenge his friends. Mudi took Najasho, which he found in a ruined tomb, as his bodyguard and he had gone to find other people that will want to eliminate his friends' killers.

After gathering other people, with the same goal, Mudi traveled on mount Hakuba. He found there Suzaku and asked him if his group can stay with Suzaku's unit. Mudi predicted that Suzaku's unit will be chosen as next target for Elite Seven and he saw his chance to finally encounter them. He later ordered Mashiro, Meela and Loris to kill Empire's spies to lure Elite Seven into Hakuba.

After Empire learned about the massacre of their spies, they sent Elite Seven to eliminate them. Mudi used Najasho to lure some of the members out of the city and they started to fight.

Kouga

**Kouga** was a member of the Sabatini Show troupe which worked undercover for The Revolutionary Army.

## Appearance

Kouga was a young man with spiky black hair. He wore a light-colored trench coat with dark pants and boots.

## Personality

Kouga was very serious and seemed to be rather mature. He was annoyed when other troupe members acted childishly but he also appeared to be protective over them. He was brave and didn't hesitate to face enemies, even if they outnumbered him. While he admired Akame and Tsukushi for their skills, he still viewed them as young children and was hesitant to let them join their cause. He also strongly believed in changing the corrupted Empire and despised it for using children as assassins.

## History

Kouga worked as a traveling performer along with his troupe while also gathering evidence against The Empire for the Revolutionary Army. One day, the troupe picked up Akame and Tsukushi, who started working as a part of their show and proved to be successful. A month later, the troupe was attacked by the Bandits of the Shiranami Mountains during their travels, and after Akame and Tsukushi skillfully dealt with the enemies, Sabatini revealed his group's true purpose to the girls. However, as he offered them to join their cause, a fight broke out as the two revealed themselves to be the Empire's assassins and started killing the whole troupe. Kouga was eventually slain by Akame while lamenting his inability to fulfill his wish of changing the Empire.
Grand Chariot

**Carnage Incarnate: Grand Chariot** is an Armor-type Teigu that is nearly identical to Incursio, although its key is a black short sword with a handguard and a chain link tassel on the hilt. When released, it takes the form of black, full-body armor with a phantasmagoric defensive film in place of Incursio's more traditional cape.

## History

Wave states that Incursio is the prototype of Grand Chariot, meaning it was created after Incursio.

## Abilities

The stance required to activate Grand Chariot is exactly the same as Incursio's, in which the user will stab the key into the ground and the Danger Beast within will cover its wielder with armor. The Grand Chariot armor grants its user increased physical strength and speed, similar to Incursio. During Wave's fight against Lubbock, Mine, and Akame, he displayed Grand Chariot's formidable capabilities. He was able to rip through a shield of thread made by Cross Tail and withstand a blast from Pumpkin, with Mine noting that the power was probably only enough to send him off-course.

Its full capabilities, however, have yet to be revealed and it is therefore unknown if it is more powerful than its predecessor, Incursio.

While the armor seemed to be completely invulnerable, it is shown that Akame's Murasame can cut through the armor if the armor is struck enough times. Also, Akame noted that the area behind the kneecaps were the weakest parts of the armor.

It was later revealed by Wave that Grand Chariot is always in a state of equilibrium, having no explosive power, meaning that Grand Chariot cannot be forcibly evolved like Incursio can, possibly due to how dangerous Incursio becomes if it forcibly evolves too much. This is probably what makes Grand Chariot the advanced version of Incursio.

Grand Chariot seems to be equipped with the same auxiliary armament as Incursio. He uses it in his fight against Primus Imperator.

### Techniques

* **Grand Fall** (グランドフォール *Gurando Fōru*): The user leaps above the target by using Grand Chariot's flight ability and performs a drop-kick on the target which causes high damage. User can increase the strength and the speed of this move by creating two floating matters, each consisting of four dark petals shaped like diamonds.
* **Grand Fall Flügel** ("Wing" in German): A more powerful variation of the standard Grand Fall, Wave used this attack against Tatsumi after equipping Run's Mastema along with his armor, vastly increasing the attack's power. Using Mastema's flight capabilities, Wave can perform Grand Fall Flügel from tremendous heights, the immense momentum and velocity accumulated allow Wave to unleashed an immensely powerful drop kick that can even topple the gigantic Shikoutazer, bypassing the reinforced durability of its Purge Mode.

## Trivia

* Fitting with Wave's previous occupation, the key of Grand Chariot resembles a cutlass, a common naval weapon throughout history.

Syura/Filler Plot

Note: Filler Events that happen in the anime only and does not constitute to the canon material.
When Tatsumi and Lubbock attempted to infiltrate the palace with help of the Revolutionary spies, Syura and Budo intercept the two Night Raid members with Syura already destroyed the Revolutionary hideout and killed its occupants much to Tatsumi's disgust.

After Budo went off to fight Tatsumi now clad in his Incursio, Syura then battles Lubbock, telling Wild Hunt not to interfere in their fight as he apparently had the advantage over Lubbock thanks to his Shambhala. But in his arrogance, Syura was caught in Lubbock's deadly threads that were set up during his running around the palace earlier, resulting in his arm being sliced off in great pain. Noticing the woman from the Revolutionary Army attempts to gain his favor to release her parents by stabbing Lubbock in the back, Syura laughed at her feeble efforts as he told her that her parents were already dead a long time ago before killing her. This angers Lubbock who now managed to get himself up and battled Syura once more, almost winning.

In one final attempt to kill the Night Raid member, Syura sends Lubbock in Shambhala's space dimension to die there but ultimately he was killed by Lubbock in his final breath before falling to his death by Syura's guards.

In the aftermath, Budo came to inform Honest of his son's death at the hands of Lubbock but was disgusted of the prime minister's lack of sympathy for his kin.

Path of Peace

File:Path of Peace Mark Anime.png
The **Path of Peace** (安寧道, *An'neidō*) is a religious organization in the eastern territory of the Empire that has been around for ten years. The organization believes in doing good deeds in order to keep the soul pure. Due to the rampant corruption and suppression of the people, they oppose the Empire's rule and at some point began planning an insurrection. The Revolutionary Army and the Western Tribes decided to use this uprising to their advantage, planning a three-pronged attack on the Empire's Capital.

## Notable Members

* The Lord - A charismatic individual with a tall stature, wearing long flowing robes and a large animal skull as a headdress. He is half Danger Beast but is unaware of this fact. He has supernatural powers attributed to his mixed Human-Danger Beast physiology. He speaks to his followers on a personal level and seems to remember specific details about them.
* Bolic - A spy for the Empire serving as a high-ranking member of the Path of Peace. He was sent by the Prime Minister to infiltrate the organization and eliminate the leader in order to control the Path of Peace under the Empire's yolk. He was also known for drugging the members and using them as his personal toys.
* Holimaca - Teigu user commanding part of the Path of Peace forces. His Teigu was the Mysterious Adayusu, a Teigu with the appearance of a scythe.
Taeko

**Taeko** was an assassin that appeared in the prequel *Akame ga Kill! Zero*. She was one of Chelsea's previous teammates.

## Appearance

Taeko is a young lady with long dark grey hair and lime eyes. Her clothing is made from a special material from the Oarburgh that can wash away blood and remove its smell immediately.

## Personality

Seemingly devoid of emotions, Taeko rarely speaks. She is extremely loyal to Babara, willing to complete every order handed by Babara, even if it means killing her friend.

## History

Taeko was found and raised by the Oarburghs as an assassin. She was eventually assigned to work with Babara Oarburgh and Chelsea.

She was then hired by the Revolutionary Army along with Babara and Chelsea to dispose of the Elite Seven which has been posing a threat to the Revolutionary Army by eliminating its supporters. While staying at a hot spring inn to plan their next move after the failure of their first mission that ended with the annihilation of the Tengu Mercenaries, she meets and befriends Cornelia, unaware of her identity. Eventually learning about her Identity from Chelsea, she calls Cornelia out and engages against her in a death match and kills her after destroying the latter's Shingu.

She later encountered Akame after her fight against Cornelia, taking Akame to the spot where she killed Cornelia, attempting to kill Akame as well. Unfortunately, Akame was able to sense Taeko's intention and a fight ensued between the two of them as Akame gains the advantage and kills Taeko, avenging Cornelia.

## Equipment and Skills

### Physical Abilities

Having been trained from a young age, Taeko was an extremely powerful combatant. She was able to fight on par with Cornelia. She also possessed immense endurance, taking a direct hit from the former's Crushing King with minimal injuries and continuing to corner Cornelia.

Taeko also carried a sword that contained a poison concocted by the Oarburgh that couldn't be cured.

### Techniques

* **Mountain Gale**: Taeko moves to target location swiftly and slashes her enemies. The slash is strong enough to cut the air and destroy the surface.
* **Scattering Breeze**: Taeko concentrates and waits for an enemy attack to counterattack. According to her, this ability brings "death to those who draw near". This ability protects Taeko from close-ranged attack, however, she cannot protect herself against long-ranged attacks.
* **Summit Gust**: Taeko slashes the air which easily bifurcates a stone wall from a distance.
* **Twister**: Taeko releases her limits to move target location instantly without leaving a trace. She can use this ability repeatedly after activating it. While using this ability, her eyes enlarge and pupils become invisible.
* **Zephyr**: Taeko sheathes her sword to unsheathe it again and slashes her enemy swiftly while the sword emits white light from its blade.
Kousetsu

**Kousetsu** (江雪, *kōsetsu*) is a katana that was wielded by Izou of Wild Hunt.

## Description

Izou loved his sword as if it was a living being and would even talk to it. He claimed that Kousetsu needed to be fed blood regularly - something that the sword itself apparently told him, along with its desire to drink rare blood, such as of a Night Raid member. He also mentioned that it outclassed Murasame in terms of "brilliance". When Izou was cut down by Akame, he asked her to take Kousetsu in order to continue feeding it, however, Akame refused the offer. Kousetsu is not a teigu or a shingu, and it does not require blood. According to the *Akame ga Kill! Official Guidebook*, Izou is just delusional, thinking that he must feed Kousetsu.

## Trivia

* Kousetsu's name is written with the kanji for "large river" and "snow". When written as 降雪, it can mean "snowfall", and when written as 紅雪, it can be translated as "red snow".
* Kousetsu's concept is loosely based around the famous Japanese swordsmith Muramasa, which tells of a cursed blade that has to draw blood before it can be returned to its scabbard.
Poney

**Poney** is a member of The Empire's assassination group Elite Seven appearing in the prequel series *Akame ga Kill! Zero*. She uses the Shingu Yocto-bottoms.

## Appearance

Poney is a young girl with green eyes and long auburn hair worn in a ponytail and decorated with a few hairpins. She is usually seen wearing a tank top along with Yocto-bottoms which take the form of leggings with a belt and ankle bands. She also goes barefoot.

## Personality

Poney is cheerful, straightforward and somewhat dimwitted, taking Gozuki's advice of "use your head" literally by smashing her head into one of her opponents during her first mission. She adores Gozuki and gladly completes orders he gives her and seems to actually enjoy fighting and killing her targets.

## History

Poney was one of the many children that were sold to The Empire. She was picked to be put through a test in order to select candidates for The Empire's assassins. She was ranked fourth among the candidates and got into the Elite Seven.

Poney is seen acting as live bait for a snakelike dangerbeast. She was ordered to act "more deliciously" by Najasho after Akame killed a Land Tiger. When the dangerbeast eventually attacked her, she killed it with one kick to its head. After Najasho told her to sell it and carry it back, she questioned him about why he had done nothing but read his favorite book. He simply replies that she should have noticed it sooner.

## Equipment and Skills

Poney is an expert hand-to-hand combatant, easily overpowering opponents while unarmed. With a physical boost given by the Shingu Yocto-bottoms, she acquires superhuman speed and strength as well. Like the other members of the Elite Seven, she is immune to most poisons. Poney can also detect and identify her companions by their scent.

## Trivia

* Poney occasionally uses Najasho's shampoo, to his annoyance.
Kalbi

**Kalbi**, also known as **Kalbi the Butcher**, is one of many contestants that partook in Esdeath's tournament.

## Appearance

Kalbi appears to be a very large, well-built, middle-aged man, with a bull's head. He's got yellow eyes, a large hoop ring running in between his nostrils and small horns on top of his head. He wears penny loafers, a pair of cargo shorts with a red sash around his waist and dons a black leather jacket that roughly stretches to his chest. Additionally, he sports black wristbands with a logo of a red bull on them.

In the manga, he also wears a large chain connecting his collar and belt, which is omitted in the anime.

## Personality

Kalbi is highly arrogant and excessively confident, as shown when he mocked Tatsumi due to the difference in their body mass and size. Additionally, he liked to boast about his level nine mastery of the Imperial Fist.

## History

Kalbi participated in Esdeath's citywide martial arts tournament to obtain cash reward. In the final match of the day, he was set up against Tatsumi. Feeling confident of his victory, Kalbi taunted the young man due to their size difference. When the battle was underway, Kalbi was quickly pushed back and moments later knocked out with a heavy kick to the head from Tatsumi.

## Trivia

* Kalbi's name refers to a Korean variety of grilled beef.
* Kalbi's overall appearance resembles a Minotaur.
* As each contestant was nicknamed after their occupation, it can be assumed that Kalbi is a butcher. The ironic twist behind this is his bull-like appearance, as butchers are known to predominantly deal with beef.
Lubbock/Filler Plot

Note: Filler Events that happen in the anime only and does not constitute to the canon material.
Intercepting their target in a cave meant for escape, Lubbock and Akame quickly kill Bolic and his bodyguard, Holimaca.

Following the successful assassination of Bolic, Lubbock heads back to the Capital along with Night Raid where he and Tatsumi are sent on an infiltration mission. The two of them meet up with a member of the resistance shortly before heading to their secret hideout, only to find out their allies were killed and their bodies made into bombs. They immediately meet the culprit behind the killing, Syura, who proceeds to fight Lubbock, after Budo appears and fights Tatsumi. While initially facing trouble against Syura due to the ability of Syura's Teigu, Shambhala, Lubbock manages to regain the advantage despite the betrayal from the supposed member of the resistance. After setting up his string barrier to counter Syura's Shambhala, he chops off Syura's right hand. Unfortunately for Lubbock, his advantage didn't last long as the maid stabs him in the back, and Syura uses Shambhala to send Lubbock to the end of the world. Lubbock, however, manages to attach some strings to Syura and pulls Syura along with him, killing the latter after stabbing him with Cross Tail and crushing his heart.

 File:Lubbock's Anime Exclusive Death.png
With Syura dead, Lubbock is teleported back in the sky above the palace. With his Teigu destroyed, he wishes farewell to his friends and Najenda moments before getting impaled by multiple spears, dying instantly.

It is later revealed that Lubbock had been implanting bombs throughout the Imperial Palace during his infiltration which was used to their advantage by Najenda.
Palace Maid

The Palace maid was one of the revolutionaries who was tasked with assisting Tatsumi and Lubbock with infiltrate the royal palace.

## Appearance

The Maid was a young woman with purple eyes and short blue hair with locks hanging freely from each side. The back of it was held by a scrunchie. She donned a reddish dress, lavender blue, shoulder-length hooded cloak and brown shoes.

## Personality

The Maid generally had a calm persona and spoke with a soft tone. She was sympathetic to the Revolutionary cause when aiding Tatsumi and Lubbock in infiltrating the royal palace. However, she valued her parents' lives overall, willing to betray and sacrifice the rebels for the sake of her family, even if it meant for the woman to forfeit her own life.

## History

The maid was tasked to meet with Tatsumi and Lubbock in order to assist them in infiltrating the royal palace. Sneaking past the courtyard, they head to the group's hideout, only to find out their allies were killed and their bodies rigged with bombs.

Barely evading the massive explosion, they were quickly ambushed by Syura and Budo. In the midst of the battle, the woman grabbed hold of Lubbock in order to assist Syura, while apologizing at the same time for her betrayal. Angered by her interference, Syura slit the Maid's throat, labeling her as nothing more than a toy. With his attention diverted, Lubbock managed to trap Syura within the reach of his threads, but before he could get a chance to question him, the woman picked up Syura's knife and stabbed Lubbock in the back with it. As she succumbed to her previously inflicted wound, the maid told Syura to remember this as a token of her service to him and asked of Syura to release her parents from his custody. Syura responded to her request with a maniacal laughter, noting that he had already killed them, thus leading her subsequent defection to the Empire all for nothing to begin with.

## Trivia

* She was never addressed with a proper name, but rather referred to as a "Palace Maid" on the anime's official website. In the English dub, she's credited as an "Informant".
* In the Japanese version, the woman is voiced by Rika Mayama, who sings the second anime opening *Liar Mask*.

Lionel

**The King Of Beasts Transformation: Lionelle** was a belt-shaped Teigu that transformed its wearer into a beast, instantly increasing one's physical strength and abilities. It also amplified one's sense of smell to enable scouting. It was destroyed by Honest and fused with Leone after its destruction. Lionel was destroyed once again when Leone died.

## History

According to Leone, she bought this Teigu from a black market shop without knowing that it was a Teigu, as no one had been able to synchronize with it in order to make it function. This implies that it is one of the 24 Lost Teigu.

## Abilities

The Gravekeepers have applied the same transformation abilities that they use onto Lionel.

When activated, Lionel enhanced the user's five senses greatly and gave them danger beast characteristics, such as lion ears, paws and a tail. It also greatly increased their regeneration, physical strength and speed to animalistic levels. The belt granted the ability to locate specific individuals over a long distance. Some personality traits were affected as well, even if Lionel was not active. Leone marked Tatsumi as her man by licking him for example. Lionel fused with its current wielder Leone after its destruction, making her more animalistic in appearance. She had a longer mane, tail, rounded ears, fur covered some areas of her body and sported lion-like feet. However she couldn't regenerate her previous injuries in this form.

### Trump Card

**Regenerator** (獅子は死なず, リジェネレーター, *Rijenerētā*): The trump card of Lionel, which granted its user high-speed regeneration. Its extents are unknown but Leone was able to heal her removed eye, sliced breast and injuries over time. By combining it with Cross Tail's abilities, the user could reattach their missing body parts such as arms, legs etc. The user could also regenerate by eating other animals as shown in Leone's fight with Dorothea.

Pumpkin

**Roman Artillery: Pumpkin** was a gun-type Teigu. It had a case with different parts in it, which could be detached and attached to modify Pumpkin. It was wielded by Mine and prior to her, it was used by Najenda. Pumpkin was destroyed due to strained overheating during Mine's battle against Budo.

## Abilities

Pumpkin uses spirit energy as ammunition and fires it in a concentrated shockwave. One of its main properties is that its power and range increased in proportion to the level of danger its user was in include no ammunition was needed to load Pumpkin. It was capable of rapid-fire burst shots of spirit energy and had a detachable, high-tech scouter in a compartment that fits around the user's eye. It also had a scope for sniping. It had multiple parts that can be used to modify its power.

In long barrel mode, Pumpkin can be used as a lethal melee weapon as shown Mine was able to cut down Seryu aside of sniping due to the design that can be used as a melee weapon as well.

### Trump Card

Its trump card was a blasting beam so overwhelming that it could act like a giant blade, cutting anything in its path but only in long barrel mode will deal maximum capabilities. This power was unleashed according to how passionate the emotions of its user are, but it overheated Pumpkin, rendering it unusable for a while. However, Mine was able to keep proper maintenance of Pumpkin, eventually enabling her to use the trump card repeatedly without overheating the Teigu.
