General Esdeath, your suppression of the northern lands was superb.
As reward, we have prepared 10,000 gold for you.
Thank you very much.
I will send it to the soldiers remaining in the north.
They'll be happy.
Esdeath has no interest in politics or authority.
Fighting and crushing enemies is everything to her.
While I control the country, she can do whatever she wants.
Everyone wins.
She's the best trump card.
Now that I have returned to the capital,
I will make sure Night Raid doesn't disturb you any further, Your Majesty.
It won't be easy.
I'd like to reward you with more than just gold.
Is there anything you desire?
Let me think...
If I may...
Yes?
I was thinking I'd like to fall in love.
I-Is that so?
You're of age and yet still unmarried, General.
All right, let me suggest someone.
How about the minister here?
Your Majesty!
I appreciate your kind offer,
but given his high blood pressure, he might not live to see tomorrow.
How rude!
I'm in perfect health!
Well then, what type of person would interest you, General?
I have very specific standards.
I doubt there are many who fit my criteria.
I shall have my preferences written down and presented to you soon.

Kill The Three
- Part One -
Mine...
I can eat on my own.
It will get cold.
Fine...
Even though Sheele was killed, Akame is as calm as always.
And to think the one who killed her was that girl...
I'm starting to realise how painful this line of work can be.
It really is strange...
that I would find interest in something other than fighting and slaughtering.
Oh, you mean love?
Even I am perplexed, but that's how I feel.
It's only natural for living beings to desire the opposite sex.
The word "love" doesn't suit you at all, though.
I see.
So this is an animal instinct, huh?
Well, for now, I'll just enjoy hunting Night Raid.
About that...
I have a nice idea.
I have new orders for you three.
Give us any sort of order, Esdeath-sama.
We three are your faithful servants.
We will accept any order, at any time.
Good.
It's so cold.
I can't sleep.
Maybe some water will help.
Akame?
A midnight snack?
No.
This was Sheele's favourite dish.
An offering for the deceased.
Since we work in the shadows,
Sheele's name will probably never appear in the Revolutionary Army's records.
That's why I'll remember as much as I can about her.
She may have been clumsy, but she was the kindest of us all.
I know.
She used to bring flowers to Sayo's and Ieyasu's graves.
Yeah.
But you're amazing, Akame.
You're composed even though one of our friends died.
I guess you're used to it.
I, on the other hand...
Composed?
Used to it?
Akame?
Indeed, I've seen many people die.
However, my precious friend died!
There's no way you can get used to this!
But at this rate, it will influence our next mission.
That's why I act like I'm fine!
We work in the shadows.
What would I do if I couldn't flip this switch?
And you call this being composed?
Sheele's death pains me so much...
So much...
To think Akame would be this sad.
That's right...
During my first mission, she was worried about me too.
What am I doing?!
I can't lose my nerve!
Being sad won't bring Sheele back!
I have to face forward like a man!
Besides, it may be dirty work, but money is money.
I can keep them from starving until the revolution.
I have people I want to make happy.
W-What?
Are you all right, Tatsumi?
That was me flipping my switch.
Don't worry about it.
And I'm sorry, Akame.
I was inconsiderate.
I'm going to promise you this:
I will not die!
I won't make you sad!
Tatsumi...
We'll live to see everyone's happy faces in the new country.
Yeah.
You're right.
Damn it!
One more time, Akame!
Shouldn't you rest a bit?
I can't take any breaks.
Didn't I tell you?
Come at me as if this were a real fight.
Here I come!
What are you doing, Aniki?!
If you want it to be the same as a real fight, then pay attention to your surroundings.
You never know where an enemy might attack from.
You're more fired up than usual.
What happened?
Nothing.
I just want to hurry up and get stronger.
I promised Akame that I wouldn't die!
Tatsumi...
Looks like you learned how to act cool!
You've grown.
All right!
I'll be your opponent!
I'll train you thoroughly!
Aniki!
My spear can't be taken lightly!
What's wrong, Tatsumi?
You can't survive just by being fired up!
Yeah!
Okay, bring it on!
Good luck.
This village is in terrible shape, too.
A nation is supposed to be made up of its people.
The fact that you feel for them...
and return to that snake's nest of a capital for their sake...
is commendable, Father.
I can't stay in retirement when people are suffering like this.
I'll fight that minister to the bitter end.
I will protect you, Father!
You've grown into a fine woman.
Perhaps you've grown too valiant to become a bride.
T-That doesn't matter right now, does it?
W-What?
Bandits again?
Public safety has really fallen!
I'll deal with them, as always!
Don't lower your guard!
Daidara.
Yeah.
Here we go!
He's too strong!
Heh, not bad, Onee-chan.
But considering what's going to happen next,
dying might have been better.
You're a soldier of the empire!
Yes.
I admired your political work.
Then why are you after me?
Because our master's orders are...
...absolute.
We defeated 15 people, huh?
Okay!
This experience will make me stronger.
Spread the posters.
This job the minister gave us is such a pain in the ass.
If he wants to get rid of political opponents, why not frame them like usual?
That won't work on officials who are under the protection of Great General Budo.
Man, that was fun.
Nyau, stop playing around!
You finished her off, right?
That girl died from shock while I was skinning her.
What a disgusting hobby.
Mission complete.
Let's return.
Listen up.
I have bad news.
Esdeath has conquered the north and returned to the capital.
Leone, go to the capital and observe her movements.
Roger!
I've always wondered what kind of person she is!
She's a dangerous sadist who enjoys massacring people.
Be on your guard.
All right, all right.
Which means it's fine to finish her off if I get the chance!
The extremely sadistic general known as the empire's strongest!
Killing her would be the same as killing the minister!
Also, around the time of Esdeath's return,
there was a series of murders involving officials.
The victims are 4 officials and 61 guards.
The problem is that posters, which claim to be from Night Raid, were left at the crime scenes.
They intend to frame us?
But isn't it too obvious?
Us declaring our crimes is too far-fetched.
That's what I thought at first,
but it's starting to look like it was our doing.
Why?
All victims had first-class guards.
As rebels, it would make sense for us to kill them.
So they're targeting strong opponents on purpose?
The only ones capable of doing this...
are those as powerful as us.
In other words, Teigu users.
They must be Esdeath's subordinates.
Why are they doing something like this?
It's an invitation.
A trap to lure us out.
Now that we're aware of their trap,
I'd like to tell you something.
The officials who have been killed were not only powerful,
they were also opposed to the minister and on the people's side.
Such officials will be necessary once we create a new country.
We can't lose any more valuable people.
Let me hear your opinions!
I don't know much about politics,
but the fact that they're staining Night Raid's name with those crimes pisses me off!
That's right.
That's right, Tatsumi!
Aniki!
All right, it's decided!
Let's teach them what it means to use our name.
There are two officials who'll probably be targeted next.
Akame and Lubbock, Tatsumi and Bulat, guard them!
Where is the official we're guarding located?
The outskirts of the capital.
Anchored at the harbour of the grand canal is a massive luxury liner,
the Ryuusen.
I-It's huge!
This ship looks like a fortress.
So this is where we'll ambush the impostors.
Reserved rice, huh?
As expected from the good guys.
That amount should cheer them up.
Oh?
Watching this made me hungry.
I'll give you mine, but I'm counting on you when the enemy appears.
No reaction.
Looks like they might not show up here.
Don't let your guard down.
I know.
Tatsumi, Bulat, if the enemy is over there...
...then please make it through alive!
The old man we have to protect is surrounded by a meat shield.
Assassinating him would be impossible.
Looks like we won't get to fight.
W-What?
Don't decide that on your own, Tatsumi.
Aniki!
My invisibility gives me the upper hand.
You never know what the enemy is planning, right?
You're right.
I'm sorry, Aniki.
How many times have you hit me already, Aniki?
Well, think of it as tough love.
Love.
Love...
You don't have to say it three times!
Anyway, this armour is really handy.
We were able to infiltrate the ship thanks to it.
Yeah!
I fought with this in the war against the southern races.
It's like a partner to me.
But no matter how hard I worked, in the end...
I don't get it!
Why would the capital dismiss you, General?
I refused the new minister's bribe.
So he decided your status based on bribes, not on achievements?
Ridiculous!
Bulat, I intend to return to the capital and openly defend myself.
I may be in this situation now, but I've done nothing wrong.
I'm sure they'll understand.
General...
I'm sorry you had me as your superior.
Forgive me, Bulat.
No...
You are commendable.
But when he returned to the capital, they refused to listen to him.
Apparently there was some jealousy towards me as well,
so I was made out to be a criminal.
I used my Teigu to escape before they could do anything.
Unbelievable...
Oh...
My invisibility is reaching its limit.
I have to take off the armour temporarily.
They know what you look like, right?
Leave this place to me!
Okay!
I'll check the inside of the ship.
If someone is suspicious, I won't miss it.
Though I'm pretty suspicious myself...
A flute?
Sweets
Amaenbou
Bring your speciality.
Y-Yes, right away!
Because I'm in this form, I can tell...
that she's alone to lure me in.
The evil I can smell radiating from her is proof of that.
Thinking I could kill her if I had an opening...
I was naive.
It's frustrating, but I have to follow my instincts here...
and withdraw!
Meshiya Eating House
The presence disappeared.
They didn't take the bait?
What a shame.
I wanted to try out some new torture methods.
This is delicious.
Maybe I'll get some for them too after their mission.
An enchanting tone, as always.
The ship has passed the urban areas and can no longer be seen from the shore.
The timing is probably just right.
I've played for quite some time, so even if I stop, everyone should still be unconscious for a while.
There may be some who weren't listening.
Don't let your guard down.
Yes!
What's going on?
Is it the music?
Anyway, I have to go outside.
I can still hear it even though I'm outside.
So it's a Teigu, after all.
Oh, there's still someone who's trying to stay awake!
If you'd fallen asleep, I'd have let you live.
That must mean you're the Night Raid impostor.
So you're a real one?
This is good.
Catch!
What's the meaning of this?
You see, I fight to gain experience,
in order to become the strongest!
Come at me!
Is that so?
I'll let you experience something good, then.
A trip to hell!
Excellent power!
It's totally worth destroying!
Considering what the music did to your body, you dodged that well.
In that case,
how about this?!
Here!
That's your Teigu?
Double Axe Teigu, Belvark!
Not just anyone can use it!
If that's how it is...
I'll make it hit you!
Destroy yourself!
Are you stupid?!
The opponent was clearly waiting for your attack!
No matter how you look at it, it was certain victory for him!
Why were you plunging in so thoughtlessly?!
You look awfully lively.
The music should have affected the entire ship.
So that's what it was.
Then it wouldn't work on me.
Huh?
The hot blood that flows through my body isn't something that can be calmed by others!
This guy...
You're an interesting guy!
You injured yourself to stay awake?
I'm Bulat from Night Raid.
You can also call me Handsome.
I'm Esdeath-sama's servant, Daidara of the Three Beasts!
Tatsumi,
watch how I fight and burn it into your memory!
Aniki...
Incursio!
I can gain some nice experience from this one!
Aniki!
I've got this!
I'll bash his head in-
Tatsumi, this is what I meant by watching your surroundings.
He killed the big one without any problems,
and repelled the other two!
All in an instant!
I knew you were strong, but you're freaking amazing, Aniki!
Yeah!
Back when I was a soldier, my nickname was "Hundred-Man Slayer Bulat".
To be accurate, it was 128 people.
At that time, you were doing incredibly well against the special forces.
That Teigu, that strength.
So it's you, Bulat.
You're... General Liver!
