Akame Ga Kill! Fanon Wiki

Akame Ga Kill![]

Tatsumi spent his whole childhood in a small village where he became close friends with Sayo and Ieyasu. It appears that he was well respected in his village as the elder gave him a unique idol of their god. Tatsumi also trained under the tutelage of a retired soldier, learning the art of swordsmanship, hand-to-hand combat, and blacksmithing. After Tatsumi, Sayo, and Ieyasu set off on their journey, they become separated when attacked by bandits, leaving Tatsumi alone.

In the opening chapter of the story, Tatsumi is first revealed fighting an Earth dragon.

Using his skills in combat, he defeats the danger beast with ease. Later, he enters one of the Empire's cities, where he meets a young lady who offers him military connections in exchange for money, conning him out of all of his savings.

At the streets, he is invited by a wealthy girl named Aria to stay at her house where he learned about the state of the Empire, the corrupted Prime Minister who is the core of all corruption and about the assassination organization Night Raid from one of the guards of that house while staying there.

Later, the mansion is attacked by Night Raid itself, witnessing their strength where they easily disposed of the guards. Tatsumi decides to find and protect Aria instead. Tatsumi then manages to catch up with Aria, who is about to hide in her "storehouse" with Akame arriving to kill Aria and her guard, easily disposing of the latter. Tatsumi, determined to protect Aria, decides to fight Akame and after a struggle and almost being killed by Akame, the girl who conned Tatsumi out of his money earlier shows up, and is revealed to be a member of Night Raid herself interrupts the fight between Tatsumi and Akame, stopping Akame from killing Tatsumi.

The girl proceeds to reveal the true nature of the household with Tatsumi looking on in horror, shocked and disgusted when he realized that Sayo was among the victims. Being at a state of mind where Tatsumi was no longer know who is right or wrong, Ieyasu, who was captured as well, reveals that Aria was the person who tortured Sayo to death. Aria then proceeds to reveal her true nature as she states her detest for Sayo, further disgusting Tatsumi and those around. Knowing the truth and no longer in doubt, Tatsumi stops Akame from slaying Aria, as he proceeds to dispose of Aria himself out of pure anger and hatred for her actions towards his friends.

Tatsumi was then forced to see Ieyasu succumb to the Lubora disease, leaving Tatsumi devastated over the loss of his two closest friends. Leone, the Night Raid member who conned Tatsumi of his money, impressed by his potential officially invites him to join their group of assassins. Tatsumi reluctantly leaves with the group (being carried off by them), and they head back to the hideout.

Still devastated over the death of his childhood friends, Tatsumi was hesitant to accept Leone's offer to join at first. Leone shows him around the hideout and introduces him to the other members of Night Raid: Akame, Bulat, Sheele, Mine, Lubbock and then Najenda. Suspicious that they will kill him if he refuses, he asks what will become of him. Najenda assures him that they will not kill him should he refuse, but tells him that he would not be allowed to leave, and that he would be able to work for Night Raid as a laborer, earning money to send back to his village should he wish. She explains Night Raid's purpose and goals, and Tatsumi finally accepts the offer to join the Assassin's guild.

He is first paired up with Akame to be trained by her and also to share her duties as well (cooking). While working with her, the two bond as they learn more about each other. Soon, he is given his first official mission to assassinate Ogre the Demon, while Leone and Akame deal with a corrupt merchant named Gamal. Tatsumi deceives Ogre and lures him into an abandoned alley, where he tells him he wants to join the Imperial Guard, but once Ogre turns his back on Tatsumi, he attacks. During the fight, Ogre threatens to kill the client who hired Night Raid, as well as the rest of her family in revenge. A very angry Tatsumi is then able to overpower Ogre and ultimately kill the corrupted Imperial. Afterwards, he states that he didn't take any wounds at all. Upon returning to the hideout, Akame promptly strips him to see if he was lying to save his pride, and is greatly relieved when she found that he was not lying, explaining that she has lost many friends from poison because they didn't report their wounds.

He is next put under Mine, who pulls rank over him the whole time that he is paired with her. He learns more about the Empire and the other Night Raid members and begins to form a friendship with her, although she still often teases him. He remains paired with her when they go on their next mission: to kill a relative of the Prime Minister; Iokal. While Mine kills Iokal with one shot, the remaining members of Night Raid are left to deal with his bodyguards. Tatsumi and Mine retreat as her job is done and Tatsumi is not strong enough to face the bodyguards. While leaving, he learns why Mine fights against the Empire. One of the Guards, however, escapes and attacks Mine, and Tatsumi latches on to the attacker, telling Mine to take the shot (at close range). When she starts to object, he tells her he has faith in her. Mine kills the attacker, and is about to accept Tatsumi before he hits her on the forehead, complaining that she nearly killed him as well. The two return to the hideout, having grown a bit closer after this experience.

Tatsumi is then paired with Akame and ordered to recover a Teigu from the serial killer Zanku The Beheader. He learns from Akame about the weapon relics known as "Teigu". He is then tricked by Zanku, who creates an illusion of Sayo to lure Tatsumi to him, and he is separated from Akame in the process. While Tatsumi holds his ground against Zanku, the serial killer uses his Teigu Spectator to give him the upper hand, and he proves too much for Tatsumi, Akame however, arrives just in time to save Tatsumi, and defeats Zanku with her superior speed and will. The pair return with the Teigu to the hideout. Still unable to accept the death of his friends, Tatsumi is found at his friends' grave site by Akame, who tells him to help her get dinner ready.

He then is placed under Sheele, who at first disliked him, but is unable to recall why. She trains him by making him swim in heavy armor. He learns why she fights against the Empire and why she is in charge of training (he enjoys the last reason). Later at a Night Raid meeting, Najenda had him try on Spectator, and the Teigu rejects him as a user, but not before Tatsumi uses its special ability to see Sheele, Mine, and Akame in their underwear. He asks if there are Teigu that can bring the dead back to life and is deeply hurt when the other Night Raid members tell him that there is no such Teigu. Sheele notices that there is deeper reasoning to this and finds him at the graves of his friends, trying to hold back tears, stating that he had hoped that there was a Teigu able to bring the dead back. She hugs him and tells him that it is okay to cry. Sheele comforts him, holding him in her arms. He thanked her for her kindness, and from that point, the two became closer. He is finally able to let go of his friends and accepts their deaths.

Next, Tatsumi is placed with Leone and sent with her to the Capital to complete a mission. He learns that she is very popular in her home district. The two are separated when a gang of men she had swindled out of money come after her. He then meets Seryu, who helps him find the bar he was ordered to find, and reunites with Leone there. They enter the targeted building and witness a gang kill a drugged prostitute, a girl that Leone knew from the streets. Together, they eliminate all the gangsters in the building. When he asks Leone what will happen to the girls, she replies that it isn't their problem, but then tells him that she knows a doctor who will look after the wounded girls if she asks him to. Tatsumi notes her kindness with a smile and she "marks him" as hers. Tatsumi wonders how the other team (Sheele and Mine) are doing.

Mine returns to the hideout, sharing the bad news of Sheele's demise at the hands of Seryu Ubiquitous. Tatsumi and the rest of Night Raid are devastated and enraged. Tatsumi begins to leave to get revenge on Seryu, but is stopped by Bulat, who tells him to stop acting childish. He is told to help Akame with cooking dinner while Mine recovers. Still in distress himself, Tatsumi wonders how Akame can stay calm and collected when one of their comrades has been killed.

Tatsumi is sent with Leone to kill the Kobores Brothers under orders from the Revolutionary Army HQ. The two complete their mission, slaughtering them, and as they are leaving, Tatsumi hears a child's voice calling for his father, who was a child to one of the brothers. Angry at himself, Tatsumi leaves quickly. The next morning, Tatsumi attempts to clean the bloodstain from his sword while thinking about how the boy only saw the Kobores brother as a good father, instead of the villain he actually was. Leone shows up and tells him that he could scrub the sword for his entire life, but the stain of blood would never fade. While she tries to cheer him up, he asks where she got her Teigu and why she fights the Empire. While he finds that her reasons give him strength, he is still troubled. Later that night as he goes to eat, he witnesses Akame preparing Sheele's favorite food to offer to her grave, and Tatsumi tells her that he admires the way she can remain so unaffected, and that losing a friend is something that he will have to get used to like her. Akame grabs Tatsumi, and tearfully tells him that she will never get used to losing her friends. Tatsumi realizes that she was just as affected as he was, and swears to her that he will never put her through the pain of losing him.

He begins training with Akame with a new determination, unwilling to stop until he becomes strong enough to live up to his promise with her. He is interrupted by Bulat, who offers to train Tatsumi so he can become stronger, Tatsumi accepts and goes with Bulat to Mt. Fake, where he and Bulat fight against tree beasts as part of his training. The two bond as they put their lives on the line battling the danger beasts of the mountain. When the two return to the hideout, Night Raid has a meeting to discuss the Prime Minister, who has begun to order his political enemies to be killed, simultaneously using Night Raid as a scapegoat and blaming them for the assassinations. Najenda also notes that Esdeath has returned to the Capital, having finished with her campaign against the Northern Tribes. Lastly, Najenda notes that she has lost contact with the Night Raid away team, and worries that they have been wiped out. Bulat and Tatsumi are then assigned the task of protecting another of the Prime Minister's political enemies, who is aboard the cruise ship, "Ryuusen".

Tatsumi and Bulat arrive at the luxury liner and board, Bulat uses Incursio's stealth ability to scout out the area for potential attackers. The Three Beasts arrive at the same time and begin to search for their target. Tatsumi learns of Bulat's past, and the reason why he fights the Empire. Bulat then must retreat to the interior of the ship as the time limit on Incursio's stealth ability had been reached. Bulat then leaves for the interior of the ship, leaving Tatsumi in charge of watching for the assassins. While he is gone, Tatsumi is weakened by the Teigu Scream's music, and the crew and most of the guests are put to sleep. Tatsumi is attacked by Daidara, whose Teigu gives him a major advantage, but Tatsumi is able to hold his own until Bulat shows up. Bulat tells Tatsumi to watch his battle closely and memorize his movements, as the other members of the Three Beasts arrive. Bulat evades their attacks, leaping high into the air, knocking out Nyau, and quickly uses Neuntote to cut Daidara in half, killing him instantly. He then begins to fight with Liver, his former superior from his days with the Empire. Still able to fight, Nyau attempts to play Scream to give Liver an advantage, but is stopped by Tatsumi. While Bulat fights Liver, Tatsumi keeps Nyau from interfering, but is unable to keep him occupied for the whole fight and Nyau defeats him, stopping Bulat from landing the killing blow on Liver. While Bulat ends up defeating Liver, he is poisoned and wounded. Tatsumi grabs Bulat and attempts to escape with him, but is stopped by Nyau who uses his trump card, growing to full adult size. Bulat entrusts Tatsumi with his sword, saying that it is Incursio's key and to use it. Tatsumi's will is so strong that the Teigu's core evolves to match him. With this new power, Tatsumi kills Nyau in one punch. Bulat succumbs due to his wounds and the deadly poison that Liver used in their fight. Tatsumi sobs as his friend and mentor passed away before him. He then takes the rest of the Teigu along with him back to the Night Raid hideout.

Some time after this event, Mine's injuries were completely healed, and she immediately began to train in order to become stronger and avenge Sheele. She finds both Akame and Leone helping Tatsumi and Lubbock train, sitting on their backs as they do pushups. Tatsumi tells her that he is training so he can use Incursio more effectively, and to be able to use its stealth ability for a longer period of time. Lubbock adds that he and Tatsumi are now the only men left in Night Raid, so he should better start getting serious. Najenda arrives to tell everyone that she is leaving for the Revolutionary Army HQ, in order to hand over the Teigu that Tatsumi gathered. Before leaving, she places Akame in charge, and offers Tatsumi some words of comfort, telling him that he is strong. Leone tells Tatsumi that Bulat had faith in Tatsumi's abilities, and was sure that he would someday become extremely powerful, surpassing even his former mentor.

Tatsumi heads to the capital hide-out, which is disguised as a bookstore owned by Lubbock. The two head down the stairway to the secret room to find an intoxicated Leone already there. Lubbock informs him that Mine's face has been put up on wanted posters, meaning that they are now the only ones left who can walk through the streets of the capital by day. Tatsumi asks about the new police group formed called the "Jaegers", and their leader Esdeath. Lubbock tells him that a few years ago there was a group of savage tribes in the south-west of the Empire that rose up in rebellion. Many thought that the Empire would win due to the fact that the tribe only had 10,000 soldiers while the Emperial military sent 120,000. However, the environment proved the tribes' greatest weapon, as the outskirts of the Empire were a harsh environment, and the soldiers were born near the capital, with no experience of such unforgiving terrain. When all seemed lost, the Empire sent General Najenda and Esdeath to reinforce the army. Esdeath froze a lake that had effectively cut off the army from the tribes' main village, and using the frozen surface as a bridge, the forces crossed over and defeated the tribe. Esdeath then took the captured leaders, and forced them to watch while she had her forces perform mass rape and murder of the tribes civilians, to discourage rebellion in the future. Tatsumi however, was confused by this, and stated that the incident would only create future rebellion, Lubbock tells him that future rebellion is exactly what Esdeath wanted.

Lubbock tells Tatsumi that the Empire is holding a tournament, in which the winner will obtain a large cash reward, and that he should enter so he can send the money back to his home village. Esdeath oversees the Tournament personally, which the Empire had staged in order to find a new user for the Teigu Extase. Tatsumi enters the Tournament under the guise of a blacksmith from the countryside, and wins the tournament, showing his great skill, fearlessness and confident smile, unknowingly fulfilling all of Esdeath's requirements and capturing her heart.

Esdeath herself came down to meet Tatsumi and give him his reward. She places a collar around his neck to the shock of everyone present, and drags him off (before knocking him out) to the Jaegers' headquarters.

At the Jaegers' headquarters, Esdeath informs the rest of the group that Tatsumi will be a new member and her partner in love. Wave and Run however question why he is chained and wearing a collar, to which she replies that it is to show people that he is her lover, Esdeath is then convinced to take the collar off, and Tatsumi tells her that he has no interest in working for the Empire. Esdeath, however, shrugs this off and tells him that she will make him obedient in time. Seryu then interrupts, telling them that it is a lot to take in, and Tatsumi feels a flash of anger, but holds his emotions in line to not blow his cover. A messenger arrives to tell Esdeath that they have located the hideout of a group of Bandits.

While the rest of Jaeger attack the bandit camp, Esdeath and Tatsumi watch from a nearby cliff, Tatsumi thinks of escape, but Esdeath holds his hand, making it impossible. After the fight concludes, she tells him that he will sleep with her in her room. Tatsumi decides he will try to persuade Esdeath to side with him and the Revolutionary Army, however, this fails as she insists on serving The Empire. Esdeath sternly retorts that it is she who will change and control him and not vice versa and uses him as a human pillow for the rest of the night, making him so nervous that he couldn't sleep.

In the morning, Wave notes that he must have had a rough night, and Tatsumi tells him that he was so nervous that he couldn't rest. He notices Kurome eating her candy, and is reminded of Akame. He tells her of how she looks similar to the girl on the wanted posters. She explains that the two are sisters and vows that she will kill her. Tatsumi, Esdeath, Wave, and Kurome then head to Mt. Fake to hunt Danger Beasts, and Wave and Tatsumi are paired up. While walking along a mountain path, Tatsumi silently remembers the times he spent with Bulat on this very mountain. Wave tells Tatsumi that they seem to have a lot in common, and seem to deal with the same type of comrades. The two then encounter a group of several tree beasts and begin to fight them. Using the confusion of battle, Tatsumi manages to activate Incursio and slips away. After dispatching the last of the Tree Beasts, Wave notices Tatsumi's absence, and fearfully imagines the punishment in store for him if Esdeath finds out he let Tatsumi escape. Wave activates Grand Chariot and begins to search for Tatsumi. The two encounter each other, but are both unable to recognize the other due to their armor Teigu. Wave recognizes Incursio as a Teigu in the possession of Night Raid, and attacks. Tatsumi is unwilling to fight Wave, and instead focuses on attempting to escape. Wave taunts Tatsumi, telling him that he's heard of Night Raid, and that they are villains who murder innocent people, which Tatsumi angrily denies. Wave attacks Tatsumi, sending him flying into a river. Tatsumi uses this chance to activate Incursio's stealth ability, fooling Wave into thinking that he was floating downriver to escape, while he was actually on the river's bank. Tatsumi encounters a danger beast but is too wounded to fight back, but he is saved by Akame who tells him she waited at the cities' main gates and followed him secretly after he left, the two become close, but are interrupted by Lubbock, who notes that his death wouldn't have been so bad as he would have been the only man left. Akame, however, notifies Tatsumi that he was actually very worried.

Tatsumi later reports everything he has learned about the Jaegers. He tells the rest of Night Raid that the Jaegers match them skill for skill and as such numbered them as they are. He is also very worried about Esdeath as she is very powerful, with the element of surprise with her as well as the fact that they have no idea of the limitations of her power. Akame however, reassures everyone that they will kill her. With this, the Night Raid celebrate his return.

Unknown to Tatsumi, however, Dr. Stylish had tracked him back to the Night Raid hideout.

Dr. Styish uses his own personal army Team Stylish to attack the Night Raid Hide-Out. During this attack Tatsumi busts out and attack the infantry head on, decimating it in the process, and he notes that the soldiers he is fighting belong to Doctor Stylish and that he must be working alone, then encounters Kaku. Upon seeing that he has Sheele's Teigu, Extase, he becomes deeply angered and instead of fighting Kaku he attempts to retrieve the Teigu becoming injured as a result of him doing so. Mine arrives and kills Kaku, finally bring Sheele's Teigu back to where it belongs.

He is joined by an injured and furious Leone who saves Mine and kills Trooma. Najenda soon arrives and the rest of Night Raid escape from the Headquarters, but they're however, affected by a poisonous gas that renders them immobile with only Tatsumi being able to fight. Just as everyone is in trouble, Susanoo comes in to help everyone out. After Stylish injects himself with a drug that transforms him into a Danger Beast, he helps Akame to get close to Stylish on the Danger Beast's head where she kills him. He stands with the rest of Night Raid as Stylish lays dead on the ground.

Tatsumi and the rest of Night Raid relocated from their base to an unexplored area of the empire filled with danger beasts to keep low from the eyes of the Jaegers. Tatsumi participates in a danger beast hunt with Leone who comments about how strong Tatsumi has become due to becoming able to summon Incursio's auxiliary spear.

Upon their return to the capital they receive reports of a new kind of danger beast. Although they admit that in some way this is helping the empire, Tatsumi declares that above all they fight for the people so he would like to destroy the danger beasts as soon as possible.

On a patrol with Lubbock, Tatsumi decides that it would be better to survey the area on top of a nearby mountain. Once there he is nearly attacked by Esdeath who is flying overhead, she stops her attack but the two of them are attacked by several of the new danger beasts (which by then where revealed to be modified humans made by Dr. Stylish). Esdeath makes quick work of them. Esdeath comments on how it must be fate for them to meet again. The two of them are attacked by a hooded enemy who uses his Teigu to teleport them.

They arrive to an inhabited island. Tatsumi believes that they are under an illusion and asks Esdeath to hurt him to show whether it is an illusion or not. She responds by kissing him and disproves the fact that they are under an illusion. Esdeath creates an ice pillar to attain a higher vantage point to see. They are attacked by two colossal danger beast (similar to Dr. Stylish's danger beast form). Tatsumi kills one by using an ice pillar that Esdeath creates to jump on to the area near the weak point of the danger beast. Esdeath kills the other one by crushing it with a massive ice hammer.

Esdeath determines that they are on an island southeast of the Empire. They decide that there is no use panicking and make preparations to stay on the island. By the end of the day Esdeath mentions and finds a mark in the sand related to the power that sent them here. Deducing that it must open again at some point they wait for it to open.

Waiting for the mark to allow them back to the empire, Tatsumi tells Esdeath about how he learned both his swordsmanship and blacksmithing skills from a retired soldier that lived in his village. In turn, for his story Esdeath tells Tatsumi about how she was the sole survivor of a danger beast hunting clan and how after she became bored with danger beasts she joined the army, becoming a general and consuming the ice demon's blood Teigu to give her ice manipulation powers. Tatsumi realizes that it is folly to try to recruit her to the revolutionary army due to her original sadistic ego.

At this point, Esdeath reveals her intention to find a danger beast to be able to ride on. Tatsumi spots one and while Esdeath is distracted with catching the beast the portal opens again. Tatsumi enters the portal, but not before he tells Esdeath about it. On the other side he seemingly disappears using Incursio's invisibility skill. He mentions that they will meet again but as enemies.

Tatsumi and the rest of Night Raid are told by Najenda that the revolutionary army will make its move in a multi-direction attack on the Empire. Night Raid receives an order to kill Bolic, a key member of the religious group Path of Peace due to his involvement as a spy for the empire which threatens to suppress an uprising by the Path of Peace followers, which is to become one of the attacks of the revolutionary army.

Knowing that the Jaegers will continue to chase them as they head for Kyocroch they decide to spread misinformation that they are headed in two different directions. They successfully manage to split the Jaegers into two halves with Bols, Kurome and Wave in one and Esdeath, Run and Seryu in the other.

Tatsumi and all of Night Raid ambush Kurome's group. Due to a surprise attack they manage to send Wave flying from the battlefield. Kurome however, summons her eight corpse dolls to engage against Night Raid including the super high class danger beast Destaghoul.

As they engage the enemy each member of Night Raid is forced to split up to deal with the corpse dolls. Tatsumi is forced to defeat Apeman who is backed up by Hentarr, once a survivor from the Ban tribes. He decides that fighting the two of them is unfavorable and manages to split them up whilst Chelsea destroys Hentar. She leaves Tatsumi to destroy apeman and he succeeds in knocking Apeman up the rockface to the place where Kurome resides. In a flurry of devastating punches and a final blow to the head Apeman's head is crushed and Apeman is left incapacitated.

Tatsumi prepares to fight Natala, but several interruptions, including interference from Susanoo, stop the fight. At this point, a self-destruct explosion occurs from Bor's Rubicante, forcing Kurome to retreat and the battle ends, but not before Chelsea kills Bols while in disguise.

Tatsumi groups with the rest of Night Raid and is astounded when he learns that Leone's arm can be re-attached (it was cut off by Kurome in the previous battle). He is told that Chelsea went after Kurome and he chases her to the nearest town only to find that Chelsea had been killed and her head was on top of a pole in the town.

That night he dreams of the fallen Night Raid members; Sheele, Bulat and Chelsea. He expresses regret that he wasn't able to spend more time with them, but resolves himself the next day to continue his mission.

Night Raid arrive in Kyocroch. They set out surveying the area as they know that it will not be easy to kill Bolic due to the Jaegers interference. They are also staked out by members of the Rakasha Demons. Whilst on a mission with Mine, Tatsumi is attacked by Seryu of the Jaegers and a member of the Rakasha Demons. They split up with Tatsumi handling the Rakasha demon and leaving Mine to handle Seryu.

Tatsumi moves the fight to a nearby ruin. Unable to connect a clean hit on the Rakasha demon Tatsumi decides to bring down the entire ruin on his assailant. He leaves the rubble unharmed and his assailant is unable to continue the fight with Tatsumi.

Tatsumi rushes to Mine's aid, saving her from the self-destruct bomb planted in Seryu's head should she ever be about to be killed. He declares that he was too weak to save Bulat, too late to save Chelsea, but just in time to save Mine.

After several weeks of rest and preparation, Night Raid decide to assassinate Bolic.

In the capital a new group sent to aid security in the capital; Wild Hunt puts the capital in the grip of fear and terror. After, several requests from the public and in addition orders from the Revolutionary Army, Night Raid sets out exterminate them. Following the successful assassination of Bolic, Tatsumi and Lubbock, with the help from a member of the resistance infiltrated the Palace but were ambushed by Syura who set up a trap prior to their arrival. Tatsumi was then forced to fight Budo but was defeated and had to watch Lubbock being stabbed to death in front of him, leading to his capture. In an attempt to lower the morale of the revolutionary army, Honest ordered a public execution of Tatsumi. With the dawn of day of the execution approaching, Esdeath is unable to convince him and become hers, she then comes to the conclusion; if Tatsumi will never be hers, she will at least deliver his death instead to prevent anyone else touching him.

On the day of the execution, Tatsumi was tied to a cross with his executors, Esdeath and Budo, and questioning Budo on his view on the current Empire. Esdeath prepares to impale Tatsumi, stating her understanding of the human body, and telling Tatsumi to try and survive as long as possible (though she never intended to kill him, just leave him in a near-death state). Seeing how the crowd seemed to enjoy how Tatsumi was about to be killed, Tatsumi accepted his death, but vowed that he wouldn't give them any satisfaction from it, but simply smile and laugh, to show Night Raid's pride. Before Esdeath managed to pierce Tatsumi, the execution was crashed by Mine who arrive to save Tatsumi, much to Tatsumi's horror, though he was touched by how far Mine was willing to go for him, something that Esdeath noticed.

After, successfully blasting Budo away from the Colosseum and holding her own against Esdeath's attacks, Tatsumi was amazed by how Mine showed that, despite the overwhelming odds, Mine showed no intention of dying, but rather getting Tatsumi out of there successfully. While fighting Esdeath, Mine used her "Genius" sniping skills to free Tatsumi, though grazed his sleeve a bit, which Tatsumi noted that Mine still did it too close for comfort. Later, Tatsumi was successfully rescued from the execution but had to pay the price of losing Mine and Susanoo.

As the time of the sisters fateful duel came upon them he stood by on the sidelines as the two sisters exchanged friendly commerce of the old days. When Kurome challenges Akame to a final duel between the two sisters, Tatsumi went along stopping Wave from interrupting the sisters' battle, comforting Akame after the duel. With the Revolutionary Army now gaining more momentum, and closing to victory, Tatsumi, Akame and Leone infiltrates the palace to assassinate Honest and end the corruption once and for all. The trio was then intercepted by Run as Leone decides to stay behind and handle Run, while Tatsumi and Akame progresses on with their mission. Tatsumi and Akame successfully arrives at the Throne Room where Honest has hid himself in, along with the Emperor and a few imperial guards. Unfortunately for Tatsumi and Akame, Honest has successfully persuaded The Emperor to activate the Imperial Teigu, Shikoutazer, as the Emperor pilots the giant Teigu.

After the summoning of the Shikoutazer, Tatsumi launches himself at the Imperial Teigu in an attempt to stop it after witnessing its destructive powers and the casualty caused. Many of his attacks were ineffective against the Imperial Teigu but with the help of Wave, he was able to find a weak-spot in the Teigu. Asking for Wave's assistance to make an opening for him, Tatsumi successfully utilize the opening created by Wave to attack the Shikoutazer's weak point which unfortunately failed and was blasted back instead. Greatly injured in that exchange, Tatsumi determined to never give up, summons the Incursio again, as the Incursio takes in Tatsumi's feeling and further evolves now with wings.

Going in for a second attempt to destroy the Shikoutazer, Tatsumi with the evolved Incursio easily dodges all of the Shikoutazer's attack. He then punches the Imperial Teigu at its weak spot for a second time, successfully punching all the way through the Shikoutazer, disabling it. For a brief moment, it looked as if it was over and Tatsumi, though badly injured, had never the less made it.

A second later, the disabled Shikoutazer started to collapse. To Tatsumi's horror, he suddenly realised that the giant mecha was now falling towards a group of civilians. Unwilling to let them die, the heavily injured Tatsumi mustered the last of his strength and flies to stop the the Shikoutazer from harming them. This selfless action, would prove to be Tatsumi's last. He was able to prevent the Teigu from crashing down on the civilians but at the cost of bursting every vein in his body.

As the citizens stared on in shock and horror, Akame arrived. There she found Tatsumi lying fatally wounded, still clinging the front of the Shikoutazer. Still wrapped in the badly damaged Incursio, Tatsumi smiled at his friend. Knowing what was about to happen, Tatsumi apologised for not being able to keep his promise. The two friends approached other, arms stretched out towards the other. A split second before they could embrace properly however, Tatsumi succumbed. Falling forwards he died in Akame's arms. Damaged beyond repair, Incursio started to disintegrate. Though she called him out on his failure to keep his promise, Akame was distraught at the loss of her friend. She continued to cradle his body log after Incursio had faded.

Moments later, Esdeath arrived. Realising that Tatsumi was dead, the Ice Queen said that he was weak. At the same time though, she felt a pain that she could not explain which, unbeknownst to her, was grief. Esdeath then rendered Tatsumi's sacrifice completely pointless by trapping several approaching soldiers and several of the spectators in a wall of ice, creating a makeshift arena. With the final adversary in front of her, Akame was forced to leave Tatsumi's body in order to fight what would be the final battle of the war.

Following a long drawn out fight that pushed both women to their absolute limit, Akame successfully managed to slash Esdeath across the chest. Poisoned and slowly dying, the General had a quick conversation with the assassin, before accepting her defeat. She walked past Akame, saying that it was time to die. Akame realised where she was heading a split second too late. Conjuring up a wall of ice between herself and her opponent, Esdeath went over to Tatsumi's corpse. Holding him to her, the Ice Queen lamented on how she wished they could have been beside each other. She then froze their bodies in ice, which shattered moments later, tearing their forms into pieces. These pieces were then carried off towards the skies. In death, Esdeath succeeded in making sure that she and Tatsumi would remain together always.

In the aftermath of the revolution Wave and Run visited Kurome's grave. There, they talked about their late commander noting that Tatsumi was probably still running away from Esdeath again in the afterlife. Meanwhile, Tatsumi's village, perhaps in honor of Tatsumi's role in aiding the revolution, received more than enough assistance from the new government to ensure their survival.
