Okay.
Finally healed!
I was resting until my wounds healed,
but now I can fight like before.
I have to work hard for Sheele and Bulat's sake!

Kill the Battle Fanatic
Someone, train with me.
Hey... Mine...
You've recovered. That's great.
What are you doing?
These guys were gung-ho about training, so we're helping them out.
After putting it on...
I realized how much energy Incursio takes.
Train Daily Bulat
I need to train my body, so I can wear it...
Train Daily Bulat
for a prolonged time like Aniki.
As of now,
I can barely use invisibility for a second.
I rarely see you drenched in sweat, Lubbock.
Well, there are only two guys in our group now.
I figured I should start putting in more effort.
Good job, sounding cool.
But you realize you've only done half as many push-ups as Tatsumi.
That can't be helped.
Since Leone and I have a major weight disparity.
You're all here.
Boss?
I'm going to the Revolutionary Army headquarters...
to deliver the Teigu we confiscated from the Three Beasts.
Alone?
That axe is ridiculously heavy, though.
Oh, I can handle this much.
See?
I might not be able to use it as a weapon, but carrying it isn't an issue.
Could it be the boss is amazing like the rest of you?
Obviously.
You know she was a general, right?
Akame, you're in charge while I'm gone.
Our plan of action is that everyone does their best.
I understand the basics.
Just the basics?!
Don't worry, she'll take her role seriously.
The other reason I'm going to headquarters is to recruit new members.
I hope they can spare some talented individuals, but I doubt there are any.
I'm sorry.
I was weak...
You fought the Three Beasts, who were key figures in Esdeath's army,
considered among the capital's strongest.
You eliminated all of them.
Although Esdeath's strength is unmatched,
her army has clearly been weakened.
When the revolution takes place,
you'll have helped mitigate a huge concern.
Not only did you save the lives of the people on that ship,
you essentially saved thousands in the Revolutionary Army...
who would've had to have faced them.
You're strong, and you've done well.
Boss...
I didn't want to inflate your ego, so I refrained from saying this.
But Bulat once told me...
Tatsumi's still green
But he'll undoubtedly become stronger.
As long as he trains rigorously,
he may just surpass me one day.
I look forward to seeing that.
Aniki...
Be proud, Tatsumi.
Keep surviving.
And become the man Bulat anticipated you could be.
That being said,
we're still short-handed.
And according to Leone,
Esdeath is organising a special force of Teigu users.
I have to do something.
Liver, Nyau, Daidara.
You three lost.
Which means you were weak.
It's only natural that the weak are eliminated.
My poor subordinates.
There's nothing else that can be done other than avenge your deaths.
My new Teigu-wielding subordinates arrive today.
I've been told they have their quirks.
Perhaps I'll play around with them some.
Fish Market
My name is Wave.
As a true man of the sea, I fought in the Imperial Navy.
I've been recruited to join the special forces squad the capital's organised.
Basically, it's a promotion.
Since it's my first time in the big city,
I didn't want to look like a hick.
So I wore super cool clothes to help me fit in.
Back home, everyone admired me!
And the assorted seafood my mother made me bring as gifts...
is all top-notch, so there's no oversight.
It will be rude if you don't bring gifts! Take this!
However...
He's a hick.
He must be from the country...
Maybe I'm imagining things,
but I feel like people are looking at me funny.
Did I do something rude?
A hillbilly.
Yeah, definitely from the country.
Well,
I'm a man who's fought pirates and aquatic Danger Beasts!
Little things won't bother me!
All right.
My new teammates are in here?
First impressions are crucial.
I can't be intimidated by them, so let's go!
You can't let them bulldoze you.
Dive in head-first!
Good afternoon!
I've come from the Imperial Navy—
Pardon me!
Uh, this must be the torturer's room.
Jeez...
It's correct.
Which means he's one of my teammates!
H-Hello.
For the time being, I'll just try not to draw attention.
Hey, hey... What's with him?
He's been staring straight at me the whole time!
This is bad.
Mum, I wanna go home!
It's a normal girl!
H-Hey!
I'm Wave, and—
You can't have any of these.
She's sort of weird, too!
Sorry for bothering you.
Crap. What the hell?
Pardon me!
I'm Seryu Ubiquitous of the imperial guard.
And this is Koro.
Oh, this one seems normal enough!
Dr. Stylish, all is prepared now!
Caring about one's first impression,
that is indeed what I call "stylish",
as a man with etiquette.
This time it's a crazy homo?!
Oh, my.
I can tell with one glance that you're a country boy, but you're pretty good looking!
I can polish you to be even better.
Let's get along well, 'kay?
And he's into me.
Hello.
Seems I'm the last to arrive.
Yo, nice to meet you. I'm Wave.
I'm Run. It's a pleasure to meet you, as well.
Finally! A normal person!
Um...
Everyone, I've made some tea.
I'm really sorry.
I was the first one here and I didn't say anything.
I'm what you call painfully shy,
so I was nervous.
But I probably have the most seniority.
I have to get it together!
As fellow Teigu users, I'm sure we'll get along.
I'm Bols of the Incineration Squad.
That isn't the look of someone who's shy.
The Incineration Squad...
The stylish squad that sets anything ablaze, be it man or thing.
No wonder he looks like that.
He isn't my type.
Huh? Who are you?
What are you all doing here?
Hey, hey, we were told to assemble he-
Assassins are among the traitors.
Don't ever drop your guard!
This one has good reflexes.
For someone trying to attack from behind,
you're giving off too much presence.
Even if you're just messing around,
I can't hold back.
So that's the Teigu Yatsufusa, eh?
What an impressive blade.
General Esdeath!
Ouch...
Even our boss is weird!
Did I surprise you earlier?
I figured a normal greeting would be boring.
I'm used to rough situations.
In fact, thank you for the lesson!
All right, then.
We have a party to attend after we meet with the emperor.
W-We're already meeting him?
For the first day, this is a pretty fast-paced schedule.
I believe in getting annoying things out of the way first.
But before that, Esdeath-sama,
what do we call ourselves?
We are a unique organisation,
ordered to mercilessly hunt and take down atrocious traitors.
Therefore, we're the special unit called...
the Jaegers.
I'm really happy...
we're serving my assorted seafood as the main course.
But isn't it weird that he's the one who can cook?
Wave,
the spinach should go in last.
If you put it in now, it'll become too tender.
I, uh... Sorry.
By the way, I was relieved when I learned that you're a kind person.
I'm not... a kind person...
General!
How have you been spending your time here?
Mostly hunting and torturing.
Or researching.
But at the moment,
I am interested in falling in love.
Love?
On another note,
I've been informed there is a spare Teigu.
Oh, uh... Yes.
The giant scissor-shaped Teigu, retrieved from evil, is at the main office.
But they have yet to find someone suited to it.
If it stays like that, the minister will take it.
That would be quite a waste.
Perhaps we should put on a show to find someone who's capable of using it.
Oh.
Yo.
Hey.
Whoa!
This really does feel like a secret base!
Right?
It's my pride and joy!
But you didn't make it or anything, did you?
Hey, there!
Welcome to our secret base in the capital!
Nee-san, you're way too relaxed!
Now that Mine's face appeared on the wanted signs,
only the three of us can walk freely in the capital.
And the special unit everyone's talking about?
They call themselves the Jaegers.
Considering Esdeath is their leader, that isn't surprising.
I get why it's a hot topic,
since she's such a dangerous person.
Tell me exactly how dangerous she is.
Let's see...
Let me give you an idea.
A few years ago,
a tribe in the south-western region..
rebelled against the capital's tyrannical rule.
The capital responded by dispatching a special force to go enslave them.
The tribe had about 10,000 warriors,
and the capital sent 120,000 soldiers.
Everyone felt the result would be obvious.
However, the land itself and the obstacles they faced were intense.
For soldiers who lived comfortable lives near the capital,
when faced with nature's brutality, they were overwhelmed.
On top of that, the tribal warriors attacked every night.
The young but capable Generals Najenda and
Esdeath were dispatched as reinforcements.
General Esdeath, you seem gloomier than usual.
Of course I am.
The minister's orders were to end the rebellion swiftly with our Teigu.
Handling nature's fury, which was too daunting for the special forces,
is part of warfare's true thrill and pleasure.
And yet, we have these boring orders.
However, it's an order.
Whether it's facing a beast or noxious insects,
or a plague or virus,
everything before me...
will freeze.
W-What power...
Travel directly to enemy headquarters to destroy them!
My attacks are as strong as a cannon!
Musket troops,
fire!
After annihilating the enemy,
it's time to enjoy ourselves.
Destroy this town to your hearts' content.
Are you watching?
Do you see your home being ravaged?
Damn you! Just kill us!
I am a woman of mercy.
Some things are worth pitying.
I'm going to let a few of you go.
Stop joking around!
If you don't kill us now, we'll certainly come back and kill you—
Remember this.
It's only natural for the weak to end up like this.
If that makes you angry, become stronger.
I can't be a part of this.
Even though the capital ordered us to make an example of them,
I can't be among those who enjoy this savagery.
So that's what happened.
After causing so much agony, letting them live seems pretty wicked.
In fact, from the capital's prospective,
wouldn't that be like adding fuel to the fire?
That's exactly what Esdeath wants.
She wants more rebellions.
So she can enjoy being in war for as long as possible.
Unbelievable...
Jeez, she's dangerous!
I'm glad I decided not to mess with her.
I wonder how many hundreds of thousands of kills it took for her to gain that evil aura.
She must be a monster if even you talk like that.
If you're so curious, you should check her out yourself.
Esdeath is sponsoring a citywide martial arts tournament.
The winner gets a cash reward.
Maybe you can earn some money to send back to your village.
Say, Minister...
Why do you think General Esdeath said she wants to fall in love?
When they reach a certain age, everyone desires the opposite sex.
General Esdeath was practically born to battle.
Until now, she's always chosen war over anything else.
But it seems different desires have blossomed.
I see.
I'd like to help her find someone suitable.
She is a person of great pride.
I'm sure she won't accept anyone less than perfect for her.
But no man like this exists.
First: He must possess the potential for a great future.
I would personally like to train him into a highly ranked general.
Second: He must be fearless and able to hunt Danger Beasts.
Third: Much like myself, he must have been raised outside the capital.
"Fourth: Since I will be controlling him, he must be younger than I am."
"Fifth: It would be nice if he has a pure, innocent smile."
Most would be disqualified at the first requirement.
Being trained by her into a highly ranked general is also problematic.
What do you think of them?
Since they're boring subjects, the battle itself is boring as well.
I guess it was asking too much to expect one capable of using a Teigu.
Oh, it seems they've chosen the winner.
The winner is Nobunaga the dry goods merchant!
I did it!
This next battle is the last match.
On the east side,
Kalbi the butcher!
And on the west side,
Tatsumi the blacksmith!
That's an interesting cover.
Does he know how to strike iron?
Not as well as I do.
But he's pretty skilled.
It looks like one of them is still a young man.
You're quite small, aren't you?
Guess I'll be taking that prize money!
I may have been excommunicated,
but I'm still a ninth-level master at Koukenji.
This old guy...
It's not just talk, he's definitely powerful.
I may have been intimidated in the past,
but I'm calm now, aren't I?
Compared to the Three Beasts, this is nothing!
Begin!
Have a full course of my explosive fist!
I don't even need Incursio for this guy.
Whoa!
Wow!
No way.
That young man is outstandingly talented.
Yeah.
That'll be all!
The winner is Tatsumi!
Everyone is cheering for me...
I did it!
We've found him.
A Teigu user candidate, I presume?
That, too.
But also...
Commander?
She's coming to the ring herself?
Tatsumi... That's your name, right?
It's a nice name.
T-Thanks.
So this is Esdeath,
former commander of the Three Beasts.
If she didn't exist, Aniki would still...
Your win just now was magnificent.
I'd like to give you your reward.
Thank you very much.
Even though I'm taking it from the enemy,
money is money.
I'll gratefully accept it.
Huh?
From now on, you'll belong to me.
E-Eh?!
It's too distracting out here.
Come to my palace.
W-Wait, hold on!
No, I won't wait.
What did she just do to me?
Let's talk in my room,
just the two of us.
W-What the hell is going on?!
Tatsumi's been taken by Esdeath?
Did she find out he was a Night Raid member?
I don't really know.
There's a fifty-fifty chance.
We watched them go to the palace, but...
What do we do, acting boss?
Tatsumi...
I won't die!
Don't say something stupid like you'll rescue him, Akame.
For the time being, let's move our base farther into the mountains.
That's a good idea.
They might find this hideout.
So what do we do about Tatsumi?
It may be impossible to rescue him...
I'm aware of that.
We won't rush in without any plan.
But Tatsumi is an important comrade!
We'll do what we can!
