## Summary

The remaining members of Night Raid saw Mine off after being comatose, with Tatsumi asking Mine to marry him once she awakens. After seeing Mine off, Leone made a compliment to his growing personality, but was a bit disappointed, seeing that she cannot tease him anymore, to which Akame answered that she still has her best friend with her. Leone dragged off Akame to have a drink with her, while Najenda discussed with Tatsumi about the condition of his body. According to a doctor he had previously seen, Incursio granted its user great increase in strength, but has started to slowly devour him with each transformation, which could eventually lead to Tatsumi's demise if he continued to use Incursio in such manner. Najenda voiced her concern for Tatsumi's well-being, but having the young man withdraw from the front lines during the final phases of the war and being the only one capable of countering Esdeath's trump card was something that they could not afford. Tatsumi accepted without a doubt, asking Najenda if all of their work will be enough to defeat the Empire. Najenda replied that, despite odds being in their favor, they shouldn't underestimate Esdeath's power, for she would gladly fight even if it meant her own destruction. She continued to state that they should also keep in mind that Honest might have a secret weapon ready to use against them. Tatsumi swore that he'll give it his all to defeat Esdeath and will do his best to honor Lubbock's sacrifice.

Back at Night Raid's hideout, Akame and Leone discussed about how Tatsumi lost his smile and how empty their base felt as Leone consoled her, stating that his smile will return once Mine awakens from her coma. Meanwhile, Najenda lighted a smoke in her room, finally accepting Lubbock's death after Pais and Ritone confirmed that no trace of him remained, aside from his goggles.

At the capital, the Jaegers prepared for the big battle against the Revolutionary Army, revealing a new weapon created by Dorothea.

Kousetsu

File:Izou Kousetsu.png
**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.

## Summary

Run arrived at Wild Hunt's headquarters and greeted Cosmina, Enshin and Champ with a warm and friendly smile. While the two paid no attention to him whatsoever, Cosmina wanted to play, to which Run happily agreed before asking her about the whereabouts of the remaining members. She informed him that the others were with Syura, who was badly hurt, having sustained multiple injuries after being defeated in a fist fight against Wave. In reality, Run came with the intention to eliminate the group and seeing as how half of them were absent, this gave him an even greater opportunity.

Run approached Champ and whispered in his ear about an alleged shack nearby filled with cute children, to which Champ impatiently jumped at the chance to meet them. This gave Run a chance to draw him out into the open, without alerting any suspicion from the rest of the group. On the way, Champ noted Run's tendency to get on people's good sides, stating that this was all for him to have a chance at a promotion. Champ continuously expressed his fondness of children, bringing Run to pose a question as to what would bring him to kill someone he loves. Champ replied that he does not wish for the children, seeing them as angels, to grow up into adults, who he considered to be filth and scum, stating that angels should remain angels forever. Champ was pierced by Run's feathers, noticing that he couldn't throw his orbs in time. Run then brutally tortured Champ out of revenge for his students and attempted to kill him; however, Champ survived it and surprise attacked Run and Kurome with a combination of his Storm and Explosion Orbs which led to Run being fatally injured. He attempted to finish him off with his Flame Orb, but Run countered it by activating his own Teigu's trump card to reflect the orb back at Champ, who was then incinerated himself and burned alive with nothing left of him except his skeleton.

**Kill the Source** (元凶を斬る, *Genkyō o Kiru*) is chapter 68 of the *Akame ga Kill!* manga.

## Summary

On the day of war, Suzuka pleaded Esdeath to serve as a messenger between her and Honest. Respecting Suzuka's force of character, Esdeath approved her request. Suzuka went on to suggest lingually cleaning the General's footwear, but Esdeath declined, stating that it defeated the purpose if she were to willingly cleanse them. Esdeath's neglecting attitude ended up arousing Suzuka.

At Night Raid's hideout, having discovered Esdeath's Ice Cavalry, Najenda briefed the squad on their plan of attack. Akame and Leone were to infiltrate the Capital's palace, while Najenda was to assist the front alongside Tatsumi, who would fend off the main infantry from Esdeath's countermeasures. With that, Najenda listed their final targets and ordered for them to be executed with extreme prejudice; Prime Minister Honest, Esdeath, Koukei, Saikyuu, Youkan and Dousen. Before the group set off, Akame promised to take out their enemies swiftly and return to the battlefield to assist Tatsumi in his battle against Esdeath.

At the Capital's entrance, the rebel and imperial army met for one last time, with Esdeath and Suzuka standing on top of the rampart wall before sending her ice battalion into battle. The revolutionaries opened cannon fire, but were quickly suppressed by the General's Weissschnabel. Holding their ground, Najenda called forth a Teigu wielder who had Danger Beasts under their control, but Esdeath countered in a similar manner with airborne danger beasts. As the beasts canceled out each other, the Ice Cavalry moved in on the rebels. Tatsumi proceeded to emerge from the crowd and stopped their advancement with Incursio.

At the palace's top floor, Honest took The Emperor to activate the Supreme Teigu. As the young lord prepared for his first battle, Honest mentioned how he resembled his late father and predecessor. His words brought joy and confidence to the young lord as he proceeded to unlock the ultimate Teigu with his scepter, all while remembering his late parents. This made the Prime Minister recall the actual cause behind their deaths, being the one who slowly poisoned the previous emperor and later his wife.

## Summary

At the Imperial Palace's private headquarters, Akame and Leone stormed the premises and took out the Imperial guards before approaching Youkan. The elderly man tried to plead for mercy, whilst the assassins remained unfazed. Before he could speak his final words, Akame killed him by cutting off the top of his head. Having disposed of their target, the two moved towards the throne room.

At the throne room, having noticed the massive power of the Supreme Teigu, The Emperor informed Prime Minister Honest that this kind of weaponry cannot be unleashed upon their people. Honest proceeded to tell that only the young Lord can wield the weapon with his wisdom and must not allow for the Empire that had stood for a millennium to collapse. With this, the Emperor collected his determination and summoned the giant.

In front of the Capital's rampart, Esdeath noticed that one of the revolutionaries had been using Scream to keep the rebels' morale high. She then ordered the army to advance forward amidst her Ice Golems. Najenda proceeded to bring her Teigu users forward, wielding Belvaac, Extase and Black Marlin, to counter Esdeath's cavalry.

However, despite the rebels outnumbering the Empire's forces by ten times, one of the commanders is informed that Esdeath is preventing their army from progressing further. Suzuka informed the General that rebel spies were attempting to incite chaos amongst the citizens in order to open up the gates from inside. Having anticipated this as well, Esdeath placed the Dark Squad to keep watch and eliminate any intruders within the Capital. This set Pais and Ritone's plans back, as they remained hidden and waited for an opening.

Back at the front lines, Tatsumi, using Incursio, kept on destroying the Ice Cavalry. Having surveyed her surroundings, as well as finding a crucial rebel command point to take out, Edeath made her golems sentient and jumped into battle. As the General started to mow down hordes of her enemies, Najenda prepared defensive maneuvers. While the rebels kept Edeath occupied in the south, the forces in the north managed to break through the capital's walls and began their clash with the Empire's troops. Upon noticing this, Esdeath decided to take out the rebels' supreme commander in order to disrupt their tactics and attain Pyrrhic victory, but is intercepted by Tatsumi.

Tatsumi lunged at Esdeath and managed to grab a hold of her. Esdeath proceeded to encase his armor in ice just as Tatsumi made a swing with his spear to break out. As Tatsumi pulled back to catch his breath, Esdeath started taunting the young man and mocked his level of skill. Having seen her power, Tatsumi decided to stop pondering over his chances of victory and proceeded to fight the Ice Queen head-on.
