Tatsumi is the main protagonist of Akame Ga Kill!. A young fighter who had set o
ut along with two childhood friends to make a name for himself and earn money fo
r his village, Tatsumi is a kindhearted person who wants everyone to live happil
y, but has no problem with becoming violent if his friends or his ideals are thr
eatened.
After learning of the corruption and evil of the Empire and witnessing the death
s of his friends, Tatsumi was invited to join Night Raid, a group of assassins t
hat are affiliated with the Revolutionary Army currently at war with the Empire.
He eventually accepts the invitation and slowly begins to accept his new life a
nd trade, while still grieving over the loss of his friends and beginning to lea
rn about his new ones. He used to be the owner of the Teigu Incursio until he wa
s fused with it and became a dragon. He had sworn to use this opportunity to tak
e down the Empire in its entirety.
He fought against the Emperor to finally bring down the corrupt empire that had
caused people to suffer. At the end of the fight against Shikoutazer, Incursio's
influence had increased drastically and Tatsumi was consumed. His body has beco
me a dragon's, but his mind remains.
He is, as described by the Revolutionary Army's doctor, the one who brought the
end to an entire era.

Appearance
Tatsumi Smile
Tatsumi's Pure and Innocent Smile
Tatsumi is a young man of average height with green eyes and medium length brown
hair with a cowlick that falls with its weight. He used to wear a white, high c
ollar jacket over a tan sweater vest, a pair of black pants and combat boots, bu
t later changes his outfit and now has a more traditional white assassin jacket
over a slim purple hoodie and a black base layer shirt with black jeans. On his
back, he carries Incursio's key, a short sword with a chain link tassel at the h
ilt, in its sheath.
Having been trained in the way of the sword and hand-to-hand combat since he was
young, Tatsumi has had a fairly lean muscular physique. After training for one
month while the Night Raid base was being relocated, he seems to have bulked up
enough for Esdeath to notice and comment upon the change.
Upon activating his Teigu, Tatsumi is covered in armor similar to the one of whi
ch his late teacher used to wear. Tatsumi's armor is far lighter to suit his fig
hting style, although the long cape has not changed. After Incursio evolved to g
rant Tatsumi greater power the armor has now slimmed down to a more streamlined
aerodynamic sporting longer horns, four eyes reminiscent to tyrant with hooked c
laws on it's fingers and toes while finally losing the long coat and replacing i
t with two long black tassels with fuzzed ends dangling off them.
Due to having fused with Incursio, Tatsumi has slowly begun to take on the physi
cal qualities of its design motif Tyrant. After its evolution, he sported a sing
le red eye with cross slit pupil at the center, with the cowlick having disappea
red entirely. After having invoked it a second time, Tatsumi has degraded furthe
r into a more draconian form. The right side of his face now sporting a more sca
ly reptilian appearance with a massive horn jutting out the top back of his head
, with his right hand taking on similar features sporting tusk like finger nails
and segmented skin plates. Upon using it a third time, a pair of horns have spr
outed from both sides of Tatsumi's head along with his hands gaining more reptil
ian features.
After the final evolution from Incursio's armour, Tatsumi loses all physical tra
its of a human. His draconian features become more defined, scales now cover his
entire body, and his mouth has formed into a dragon's, sporting sharp and jagge
d teeth. During this final change to his appearance, even Shikoutazer's scanning
system no longer recognizes Tatsumi as a 'human'.
And once Tatsumi was finally consumed by Incursio, his body changed to host Incu
rsio's soul. Tatsumi changes into a massive dragon, becoming the size of a build
ing. Unlike Incursio's original body, Tatsumi's form as a dragon is larger, poss
esses wings, and has more red eyes. It is no longer possible to distinguish Tats
umi from a Danger Beast.
Personality
Tatsumi gives off a kind, generous, level-headed and friendly vibe. He was shown
to be a bit arrogant and naive in the early chapters, when in his first appeara
nce he believed he could be given an immediate rank of Captain in the armed forc
es. He displays a great displeasure of killing, unless provoked as shown from fi
nding his friends tortured to death. He shows great admiration for Bulat, though
he doesn't agree to Bulat's displays of affection. Overall, he displays great c
omradeship and great promise of being a skilled fighter. Close to the start of t
he manga, his affection spreads even to his enemies, giving him a liability. How
ever, with experience, he has learned to show affection for his friends, but non
e to his enemies. He is capable of great rage when provoked by his enemies, maki
ng him a formidable opponent.
His personality alters slightly as he merges further with his Teigu. While donni
ng the final evolution of Incursio's armour, Tatsumi roars at the sky and moment
arily acts in a savage manner. Even Tatsumi himself states that he can sense his
mind slipping, becoming something else.
And though remembering Bulat allowed Tatsumi to remain the same person until Shi
koutazer's defeat, once the battle was over Tatsumi was finally consumed by Incu
rsio and his body became its new host.
Once consumed, he took on all personality traits of Tyrant, but returned to his
normal self once Akame had killed the dragon's soul. Despite now possessing a Da
nger Beast's body, his mind remains intact.
History
Tatsumi, Ieyasu, Sayo leaving their village
Tatsumi, Ieyasu and Sayo
Tatsumi spent his whole childhood in a small village where he became close frien
ds 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 t
utelage of a retired soldier, learning the art of swordsmanship, hand-to-hand co
mbat, and blacksmithing. After Tatsumi, Sayo, and Ieyasu set off on their journe
y, they become separated when attacked by bandits, leaving Tatsumi alone.
Tatsumi fighting against Earth Dragon
Tatsumi fighting against Earth Dragon
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 ent
ers one of the Empire's cities, where he meets a young lady who offers him milit
ary 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 Ra
id from one of the guards of that house while staying there.
Later, the mansion is attacked by Night Raid itself, witnessing their strength w
here they easily disposed of the guards. Tatsumi decides to find and protect Ari
a instead. Tatsumi then manages to catch up with Aria who is about to hid in her
"storehouse" with Akame arriving to kill Aria and her guard, easily disposing o
f the latter. Tatsumi determined to protect Aria decides to fight Akame and afte
r a struggle and almost being killed by Akame, the girl who conned Tatsumi out o
f his money earlier shows up, and is revealed to be a member of Night Raid herse
lf interrupts the fight between Tatsumi and Akame stopping Akame from killing Ta
tsumi.
Tatsumi killing Aria

The girl proceeds to reveal the true nature of the household with Tatsumi lookin
g on in horror, shocked and disguised when he realized that Sayo were among the
victims. Being at a state of mind where Tatsumi was no longer knowing who is rig
ht or wrong, Ieyasu who was captured as well reveals that Aria was the person wh
o tortured Sayo to death. Aria then proceeds to reveal her true nature as she st
ates her despise for Sayo, further disgusting Tatsumi and those around. Knowing
the truth and no longer in doubt, Tatsumi stops Akame from slaying Aria as he pr
oceeds to dispose of Aria himself out of pure anger and hatred for her actions t
owards his friends.
Tatsumi was then forced to see Ieyasu succumb to the Lubora disease, leaving Tat
sumi 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 in
vites 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 t
o 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, L
ubbock and then Najenda. Suspicious that they will kill him if he refuses, he as
ks what will become of him. Najenda assures him that they will not kill him shou
ld he refuse, but tells him that he would not be allowed to leave, and that he w
ould 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 Tat
sumi finally accepts the offer to join the Assassin's guild.
Tatsumi kills Ogre
Tatsumi killing Ogre
He is first paired up with Akame to be trained by her and also to share her duti
es as well (cooking). While working with her, the two bond as they learn more ab
out 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. Tats
umi deceives Ogre and lures him into an abandoned alley, where he tells him he w
ants to join the Imperial Guard, but once Ogre turns his back on Tatsumi, he att
acks. 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 sta
tes 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 rel
ieved when she found that he was not lying, explaining that she has lost many fr
iends 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 pair
ed with her. He learns more about the Empire and the other Night Raid members an
d 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 o
f 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 ret
reat 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, telli
ng Mine to take the shot (at close range). When she starts to object, he tells h
er 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 we
ll. The two return to the hideout, having grown a bit closer after this experien
ce.
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 a
s "Teigu". He is then tricked by Zanku who creates an illusion of Sayo to lure T
atsumi to him, and he is separated from Akame in the process. While Tatsumi hold
s his ground against Zanku, the serial killer uses his Teigu Spectator to give h
im the upper hand, and he proves too much for Tatsumi, Akame however, arrives ju
st 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.
Sheele hugging Tatsumi
Sheele comforting Tatsumi
He then is placed under Sheele, who at first disliked him, but is unable to reca
ll why. She trains him by making him swim in heavy armor. He learns why she figh
ts against the Empire and why she is in charge of training (he enjoys the last r
eason). 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 me
mbers 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 bac
k 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, h
olding 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 thei
r 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 th
en 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 dru
gged prostitute, a girl that Leone knew from the streets. Together, they elimina
te 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 kno
ws a doctor who will look after the wounded girls if she asks him to. Tatsumi no
tes her kindness with a smile and she "marks him" as hers. Tatsumi wonders how t
he other team (Sheele and Mine) are doing.
Mine returns to the hideout, sharing the bad news of Sheele's demise at the hand
s of Seryu Ubiquitous. Tatsumi and the rest of Night Raid are devastated and enr
aged. 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 din
ner while Mine recovers. Still in distress himself, Tatsumi wonders how Akame ca
n 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 Re
volutionary Army HQ. The two complete their mission, slaughtering them, and as t
hey 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 nex
t morning, Tatsumi attempts to clean the bloodstain from his sword while thinkin
g about how the boy only saw the Kobores brother as a good father, instead of th
e 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 tr
ies to cheer him up, he asks where she got her Teigu and why she fights the Empi
re. While he finds that her reasons give him strength, he is still troubled. Lat
er 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 ca
n 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 w
ill 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 pai
n 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 b
y 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 Ra
id has a meeting to discuss the Prime Minister, who has begun to order his polit
ical enemies to be killed, simultaneously using Night Raid as a scapegoat and bl
aming them for the assassinations. Najenda also notes that Esdeath has returned
to the Capital, having finished with her campaign against the Northern Tribes. L
astly, Najenda notes that she has lost contact with the Night Raid away team, an
d 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 ab
oard the cruise ship, "Ryuusen".
Tyrant appears behind Tatsumi
Tatsumi Calling Incursio for the first time
Tatsumi and Bulat arrive at the luxury liner and board, Bulat uses Incursio's st
ealth ability to scout out the area for potential attackers. The Three Beasts ar
rive at the same time and begin to search for their target. Tatsumi learns of Bu
lat'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 bee
n reached. Bulat then leaves for the interior of the ship, leaving Tatsumi in ch
arge 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. Tat
sumi is attacked by Daidara, whose Teigu gives him a major advantage, but Tatsum
i 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 Be
asts 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 E
mpire. Still able to fight, Nyau attempts to play Scream to give Liver an advant
age, but is stopped by Tatsumi. While Bulat fights Liver, Tatsumi keeps Nyau fro
m interfering, but is unable to keep him occupied for the whole fight and Nyau d
efeats him, stopping Bulat from landing the killing blow on Liver. While Bulat e
nds up defeating Liver, he is poisoned and wounded. Tatsumi grabs Bulat and atte
mpts 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 In
cursio's key and to use it. Tatsumi's will is so strong that the Teigu's core ev
olves 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 passes 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, Mines injuries were completely healed, and she immed
iately began to train in order to become stronger and avenge Sheele. She finds b
oth 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 m
ore effectively, and to be able to use its stealth ability for a longer period o
f 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 th
at 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 T
atsumi 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 b
y Lubbock. The two head down the stairway to the secret room to find an intoxica
ted 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 thoug
h the streets of the capital by day. Tatsumi asks about the new police group for
med 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 th
at 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 capi
tal, with no experience of such unforgiving terrain. When all seemed lost, the E
mpire sent General Najenda and Esdeath to reinforce the army. Esdeath froze a la
ke that had effectively cut off the army from the tribes' main village, and usin
g 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 r
ebellion is exactly what Esdeath wanted.
Lubbock tells Tatsumi that the Empire is holding a tournament, in which the winn
er 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, whic
h the Empire had staged in order to find a new user for the Teigu Extase. Tatsum
i enters the Tournament under the guise of a blacksmith from the countryside, an
d 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 (befo
re knocking him out) to the Jaegers' headquarters.
At Jaegers' headquarters, Esdeath informs the rest of the group that Tatsumi wil
l 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 Tats
umi tells her that he has no interest in working for the Empire. Esdeath, howeve
r, 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 f
lash 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 Bandit
s.
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 a
nd the Revolutionary Army, however, this fails as she insists on serving The Emp
ire. 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.
Tatsumi vs Wave
Tatsumi vs Wave
In the morning, Wave notes that he must have had a rough night, and Tatsumi tell
s 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 g
irl on the wanted posters. She explains that the two are sisters and vows that s
he will kill her. Tatsumi, Esdeath, Wave, and Kurome then head to Mt. Fake to hu
nt Danger Beasts, and Wave and Tatsumi are paired up. While walking along a moun
tain 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 t
o 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 man
ages to activate Incursio and slips away. After dispatching the last of the Tree
Beasts, Wave notices Tatsumi's absence, and fearfully imagines the punishment i
n 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 In
cursio as a Teigu in the possession of Night Raid, and attacks. Tatsumi is unwil
ling to fight Wave, and instead focuses on attempting to escape. Wave taunts Tat
sumi, 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, send
ing him flying into a river. Tatsumi uses this chance to activate Incursio's ste
alth ability, fooling Wave into thinking that he was floating downriver to escap
e, 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 wai
ted at the cities' main gates and followed him secretly after he left, the two b
ecome close, but are interrupted by Lubbock, who notes that his death wouldn't h
ave been so bad as he would have been the only man left. Akame, however, notifie
s 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 numbe
red them as they are. He is also very worried about Esdeath as she is very power
ful, 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 th
ey 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 h
ideout.
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, deci
mating it in the process, and he notes that the soldiers he is fighting belong t
o Doctor Stylish and that he must be working alone, then encounters Kaku. Upon s
eeing 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. Na
jenda 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 onl
y 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 Be
ast'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 ar
ea of the empire filled with danger beasts to keep low from the eyes of the Jaeg
ers. Tatsumi participates in a danger beast hunt with Leone who comments about h
ow 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 be
ast. Although they admit that in some way this is helping the empire, Tatsumi de
clares 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 wh
o is flying overhead, she stops her attack but the two of them are attacked by s
everal of the new danger beasts (which by then where revealed to be modified hum
ans 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 ho
oded enemy who uses his Teigu to teleport them.
They arrive in an inhabited island. Tatsumi believes that they are under an illu
sion 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 for
m). 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 south east of the empire. They dec
ide 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 t
he power that sent them here. Deducing that it must open again at some point the
y wait for it to open.
Waiting for the mark to allow them back to the empire, Tatsumi tells Esdeath abo
ut 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 afte
r she became bored with danger beasts she joined the army, becoming a general an
d consuming the ice demon's blood Teigu to give her ice manipulation powers. Tat
sumi realizes that it is folly to try to recruit her to the revolutionary army d
ue 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 be
ast the portal opens again. Tatsumi enters the portal, but not before he tells E
sdeath about it. On the other side he seemingly disappears using Incursio's invi
sibility 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 ar
my will make its move in a multi-directions attack on the Empire. Night Raid rec
eives 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 up
rising 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 t
hey decide to spread misinformation that they are headed in two different direct
ions. They successfully manage to split the Jaegers into two halves with Bols, K
urome 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 th
ey 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 d
anger beast Destaghoul.
Tatsumi defeats the Gorilla
Tatsumi defeats Apeman.
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 H
entarr, 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 incapac
itated.
Tatsumi prepares to fight Natala, but several interruptions including interferen
ce from Susanoo stops the fight. At this point a self-destruct explosion occurs
from Bor's Rubicante, forcing Kurome to retreat and the battle ends, but not bef
ore 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 tow
n 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 reso
lves 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 als
o staked out by members of the Rakasha Demons. Whilst on a mission with Mine, Ta
tsumi is attacked by Seryu of the Jaegers and a member of the Rakasha Demons. Th
ey split up with Tatsumi handling the Rakasha demon and leaving Mine to handle S
eryu.
Tatsumi moves the fight to a nearby ruin. Unable to connect a clean hit on the R
akasha 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 wit
h 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 Bo
lic. Night Raid is to split into two groups. One consisting of Akame, Mine and L
ubbock and the other with Najenda, Tatsumi, Leone, and Susanoo. The former group
is charged with sneaking with an air manta and striking from behind whilst the
latter group is to serve as a distraction for Esdeath and the Jaegers.
The distraction group find Bolic, Esdeath and Kurome in a cathedral like area. T
hey find that the other group have yet to come as planned. They begin to fight E
sdeath whilst Tatsumi uses Incursio's ability to go invisible in order to find a
n opportunity to kill Bolic in the fighting.
However, Esdeath quickly defeats the members of Night Raid and begins to torture
Leone. Unable to handle the torture of his friends Tatsumi goes out of his invi
sible state and strikes at Esdeath but is quickly defeated.
At this point Najenda is forced to use Susanoo's trump card a second time in ord
er to kill Bolic quickly. With his increased abilities he gets close to killing
him, but at the last moment Esdeath uses her trump card to freeze time and stop
Susanoo, dicing him to pieces.
Esdeath is curious as to who is underneath Incursio's armor attempts to remove i
t however, it is at this time where the other group arrives and is able to strik
e Bolic. Tatsumi forces himself to hold back Esdeath for a moment, which is just
enough time for Akame to kill Bolic. Night Raid is forced to flee and Najenda i
s forced to use Susanoo's trump card a third time to hold back Esdeath. Night Ra
id flee with their mission complete, but at a cost of Susanoo who dies holding b
ack Esdeath.
As the revolution begins, Night Raid takes a less direct route to their base in
order to fool pursuers and to heal from injuries sustained in the previous missi
on. Mine and Tatsumi are sent off to collect food for Night Raid as they camp. M
ine, whose feelings have grown for Tatsumi attempts to confess to him, but he mi
sunderstands. Mine is forced to kiss him to get him to realize her feelings towa
rd him. They agree to go out together and declare their relationship to the rest
of Night Raid.
Night Raid preparing to battle Wild Hunt
Night Raid's intention to destroy Wild Hunt.
In the capital a new group sent to aid security in the capital; Wild Hunt puts t
he capital in the grip of fear and terror. After, several requests from the publ
ic and in addition orders from the Revolutionary Army, Night Raid sets out exter
minate them.
When we next see Night Raid, they interfere in a battle between the Jaeger membe
rs Run and Kurome and the two members of Wild Hunt; Cosmina and Enshin. Tatsumi
using his spear slams into the ground sending large amounts of rock at Enshin wh
ich distracts Enshin enough to catch him off guard to Akame's attack leaving him
dead. As the other member of Wild Hunt Cosmina is also dead, Night Raid turn to
fight Kurome and Run. However, with the last of his strength Run attacks them,
whose attack is blocked by Tatsumi. The Jaegers flee the scene.
Some time later, Tatsumi and Lubbock get caught in a trap by Syura who teleports
them in the palace. Despite the disadvantageous situation, Tatsumi attempts to
control the situation with the priority to flee. He tactically runs to an empty
area, using his trump card of invisibility, he deals a damaging kick to Syura, D
orothea and Suzuka and then produces a smoke screen to avoid Izou. However, as h
e leaps to get away, he is stopped by Esdeath and Budo leading to their capture.
Tatsumi wakes up in a prison cell, greeted by Suzuka and Dorothea who aim to mak
e him their play thing and disgrace him. Dorothea claims that she didn't have an
y sexual desires until she bit him earlier. Esdeath then enters and angered by t
his scene, she slams Suzuka's face to the wall and threatens the two to never la
y a finger on him. Tatsumi, is then embraced by Esdeath, but only to be displeas
ed. He states that he will never join her and announces that he is in love and i
n a relationship already, much to her surprise.
53
Esdeath concluding that Tatsumi will be killed by her own hands.
Still clutching on his resolve, Tatsumi rejects to eat food made by Esdeath and
the offer to become her subordinate or risk public execution. Once he hears abou
t Lubbock being dead, the persuasion is futile and he is willing to die rather t
han being a traitor to Night Raid.
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 touchi
ng him.
Tatsumi Execution
Tatsumi's execution
On the day of the execution, Tatsumi was tied to a cross with his executors, Esd
eath and Budo, and questioning Budo on his view on the current Empire. Esdeath p
repares to impale Tatsumi, stating her understanding of the human body, and tell
ing 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 exec
ution 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.
Incursio evolve form
Incursio evolves
After, successfully blasting Budo away from the Colosseum and holding her own ag
ainst Esdeath's attacks, Tatsumi was amazed by how Mine showed that, despite the
overwhelming odds, Mine showed no intention of dying, but rather getting Tatsum
i out of there successfully. While fighting Esdeath, Mine used her "Genius" snip
ing skills to free Tatsumi, though grazed his sleeve a bit, which Tatsumi noted
that Mine still did it too close for comfort. Going immediately for Incursio, he
grasped the hilt, but pulled back in pain as he noticed some small barbed wirin
g around Incurio's hilt. Hearing Esdeath tell him to come at her and show her ho
w strong he was, Tatsumi prepares to don Insursio. Remembering Lubbock's death a
nd determined to prevent that from happening to Mine, Tatsumi speaks to Incursio
as he dons the armor, demanding more power from the Teigu to destroy the injust
ice of the empire, leading to another evolution of the Incursio, regardless of h
ow painful it might be for him.
As Tatsumi emerges in his evolved Incursio form, he immediately charged at Esdea
th to attack, and unlike before at the Cathedral, had managed to fight more even
ly with her, something that Esdeath noted with joy, as they were finally connect
ing for the first time. Tatsumi stated that Esdeath cannot be as lax now.
Evolved Incursio withstanding Mahapdma
Incursio withstanding Mahapdma
With Tatsumi's new power, coupled with Mine's support, forced Esdeath to use Mah
apadma to prevent herself from being struck. However, much to her surprise, Tats
umi had managed to resist the technique thanks to Incursio having evolved to res
ist the cold, overcoming her Trump Card for a moment. The battle against Esdeath
continues with Akame and Leone joining the fray. Soon, Budo reemerges undamaged
, despite the powerful blast from Pumpkin he received, and pissed off at Night R
aid for disrupting the peace of the Capital.
After telling Akame and Leone about Lubbock's death, he and the others prepared
to face both Budo and Esdeath. While facing them, Tatsumi noted the extreme pain
he was feeling, as if his body was being ripped to shreds. However, Tatsumi mov
ed to block Budo's lightning attacks, and noted that this was the time to push h
is body beyond its limits. After blocking Budo's attack, Tatsumi and Leone teame
d up to fight Budo, further angering the Great General, and summoned lightning f
rom the sky that struck them both, rendering them immobile. However, Tatsumi had
quickly recovered, as Incursio had evolved to even resist lightning attacks, an
d began to fight Budo on his own. During their fight, Tatsumi said in his mind t
owards Budo that he once strove to be at the top of the ranks, and now that was
what he was battling against, with his body and soul.
Budo prepares to take on Night Raid
Budo prepares to battle Night Raid
Shocking Budo by how Tatsumi was able to be able to fight on par with him, as de
spite his potential, Tatsumi's power up seemed almost instant, leading Budo to d
educe the possibility of Incursio fusing with Tatsumi. Attempting to finish him
off, Budo summoned another lightningbolt to strike Tatsumi, but this time Tatsum
i saw it coming, telling Budo that he was told to always be aware of his surroun
dings, thinking of Bulat, who gave him that advice. Tatsumi then struck a powerf
ul slash across Budo's back, injuring him greatly and making him collapse, befor
e he got back up, and his lightning growing more wild due to Budo's anger.
Esdeath, who had been fighting both Akame and Mine at the time, intervened and b
attled Tatsumi, stating to Budo that Tatsumi was meant to be executed by her.
Tatsumi hits Esdeath
Tatsumi lands the first blow on Esdeath
As Budo unleashes his technique, "Advent of the Thunder Emperor," Tatsumi looks
at his comrades with worry, before Esdeath attacked, reminding him that his enem
y not the lightning, but the ice, and told Tatsumi to give it everything he had.
Though they fought fiercely, Esdeath commented that he still had yet to truly r
each her and she attempted to capture him in ice, though Tatsumi dodged, much to
her surprise. As Tatsumi was stated by Esdeath to be growing stronger even whil
e battling, Tatsumi moved into to strike Esdeath from above. Tatsumi knew that,
despite Esdeath telling him to give it everything he had, she was showing so muc
h enjoyment, something he would exploit to give him an opening.
When Esdeath blocked his attack, Tatsumi let go of his weapon, and moved into to
deliver a powerful punch, which was strong enough to break through her ice armo
r, and strike her, knocking her away, though Tatsumi was surprised that he manag
ed to actually do it.
As Najenda arrived at the scene for their escape, Budo attempted to attack her,
but Tatsumi blocked it, saying that if he let Najenda get hurt, he'd never be ab
le to face Lubo again, tipping Najenda about Lubo's fate.
Tatsumi hits Budo
Tatsumi strikes Budo
When asked by Akame about Esdeath, he replied that he managed to strike a blow,
which will buy them enough time to escape from her stunning Akame. Telling them
to get on the Danger Beast, Tatsumi allowed himself to be the shield and blocked
more of Budo's attacks with his resistant armored body, though Budo knocked him
away. As Budo overwhelmed Akame, Leone, and even blocked Mine's attack, due to
Pumpkin being pushed too far. As Budo stated that there was no escape for them,
Tatsumi got up and declared that they'd all get out of here alive. Budo noted th
at Tatsumi showed the same expression as "that brat", which Tatsumi realized was
Lubo, meaning that Lubo hadn't given up to his last breath, making Tatsumi dete
rmined not to give up either.
As Tatsumi and Budo prepared to attack, Mine declared that she'd use her Trump C
ard, a bluff meant to catch Budo off guard for a moment, which worked, and allow
ed Tatsumi to deliver a devastating punch to Budo, sending him flying back.
Getting Akame, Tatsumi headed for the Danger Beast to escape, but he soon collap
sed, as the poison that he had been given from the barbed wiring on Incursio's h
ilt had taken affect. While the poison was capable of killing a High Class Dange
r Beast instantly, Tatsumi having donned Incursio almost immediately, had manage
d to cut the effects to a certain extent, though even that had reached its limit
from the intense fighting. Tatsumi lost his consciousness from that, where Mine
soon sacrificed herself to save them and kill Budo, using all her power that re
ndered her comatose, and Pumpkin destroyed.
Tatsumi's Oath
Tatsumi's oath to Mine
Staying by her bedside, he told her about how she had managed to help them succe
ed in making the revolution nearing success. He told her to rest for now and lea
ve the fighting to him, which he'd take her share in her place.
As Mine was later being taken away and cared until she wakes up, Tatsumi held he
r hand and told her that when the time came, he wanted to marry her while declar
ing that he loved her.
When Najenda asked how his body was, Tatsumi stated that he felt power welling u
p inside him, and recalled how he was examined by a doctor that was able to use
the Perfector Teigu, and learned that Incursio had bonded with him, and thus he
was becoming Incurio's dragon armor, though warned that this was not a power up
at all, but rather it would break him, though unlike a poison, Tatsumi was gradu
ally becoming stronger. Unlike Bulat, who had used Incursio in a proper way, Tat
sumi had forced an evolution before he was ready for it. When the doctor mention
ed the story of how Incursio couldn't have fought the two strongest in the Empir
e, Tatsumi stated that he could endure any pain as long as he could have power,
and this was the cost, as he will grow stronger, but will die soon, probably 10
years or even less. He did note that if Tatsumi continued to train and build up
strength, he might be able to use Incursio without overdoing it, but if Tatsumi
continued to use Incursio as he was now, he would be devoured by Incursio and di
e from it, and pointed out how the symptoms already appeared in Tatsumi's right
eye. Finally, the doctor stated that Tatsumi had 3-4 more times was Tatsumi's li
mit.
Tatsumi remained determined to keep fighting, and although Najenda wanted to rem
ove Tatsumi from further combat, she couldn't, as they had no idea what Esdeath'
s trump card would be now, and they needed Incursio, who had adapted to her froz
en atmosphere. Najenda and Tatsumi spoke about the Revolution Army's progress, a
nd how they couldn't afford to lower their guard, as they were sure that the Pri
me Minister had an ace up his sleeve, added with Esdeath's unparalleled strength
. Noting how Esdeath would be fighting with full enjoyment, Tatsumi stated that
for as long as he knew her, he hid his identity from her, and that Esdeath was p
ersistent in trying to take Tatsumi, but had a feeling that Esdeath won't hold b
ack on Tatsumi anymore. He declared he would fight with all his might to defeat
her, and added that he would fight Lubbock's part as well, though Najenda told h
im to not beat himself over it, as Night Raid was all for one, and one for all.
After a briefing with Najenda with the revolutions armed forces, Tatsumi along w
ith the rest of Night Raid set out to deal with the remnants of the Wild Hunt. W
ho've last been spotted raiding various Revolution Army Bases with the newly rec
reated cosmina, just as the Drothea and the others were prepping to raid another
base to feed her pet creation. Akame and the rest of Night Raid swooped in; the
 former dealing what seemed to be a deathblow to the homunculus. But as she rise
s back up again after having sheded her philosopher stone, Tastumi stands firm a
s she takes on the monstrosity, remembering that he could only use his Teigu fou
r more times before Tyrant consumed him but shook off his insecurity when thinki
ng of Mine and charged at the enemy fearlessly.
Cosmina killed
Tatsumi bifurcates Cosmina
After Dorthea had finished dispatching Leone Cosmina had come crashing in just a
s she was contemplating how she was doing against him. After, loping off her a l
imb and landing some critical blows against the creature she protrudes a slew of
tendrils to attack him, after blocking most of the barrage a hidden coil spring
s up from the ground jabbing through incursio's shin guard. As poison is funnele
d into his body he reveals his immunity to said toxins by tackling Cosmina with
as much ferocity as ever, the alchemist suspecting that Tatsumi's merging with h
is Teigu enabling him resilience against contaminants after having adapted to su
rvive the prime ministers cowardly ploy during his execution.
As Leone and Akame finish up with their respective opponents Tatsumi deals the k
illing blow against the mutated Cosmina causing her creator to feign collapse at
the crumbling of her ambitions, only to be crushed flat under a rock by Leone s
oon after. After having completed their mission Leon and Akame stand outside of
Tatsumi's room only to find he's not in.
Meanwhile outside Night Raid's base Tatsumi sits alone in a cave groaning and ag
onizing in isolation due to his second use of the evolved incursio. After Leone
and Akame find him through tracking his scent only to find that half of his face
has transformed to reflect tyrants own visage, not wanting to concern the other
s over his pains Tatsumi tried his best to conceal his problems only for the two
to gently embrace him reassuring that they'll help him through his turmoil.
Tatsumi partial transformation
After just one use of Evolved Incursio
Back at the base Tatsumi shows more control over his transformations now being a
ble to revert back to a more human appearance at will, when the commander comes
in to debrief Akame on a new mission she also recommends He and Leone take a bre
ather. After Akame had successfully completed her hit list assignment and was to
ld that Tatsumi was resting up after feelings of exhaustion rose up in him.
After the Empire Assassination squads have been dealt with Tatsumi and what rema
ins of Night Raid sit down and enjoy a bite too eat. The former of which laments
not being of much use seeing as the rest of the crew are busting their butts do
ing all the heavy work while he's stuck in the benches, the rest however comment
that he's not to engage in any combat until the apex of the war Najenda promisi
ng to work him but good when the time comes, Leone following sweet by glomping o
nto him soon after. Noting a somber Akame leaving the dinner table Tatsumi notes
her unusual quietness but both ladies are unsurprised seeing as she'll be deali
ng with her little sister soon.
As was per the agreement when Akame initially joined up with the Revolutionary A
rmy, Tatsumi learns that in order to serve under them that she be given leeway o
n approach regarding her wayward sibling and that when the time had come that sh
e; Akame herself and no one else would are interfere with her settling things wi
th her, Leone affirms her desire to help her comrade meet her own goals if and w
hen it comes to that with Najenda going onto say that in the even Kurome is spar
ed and the revolution being over by then. That the army whom originally marked h
er for termination will cease all hostilities towards her and permit Akame to wa
tch over her, and that the elder of the two had been working rather diligently f
or so long in order too have these requests met. Having long come to terms with
Akame's designs and fully considering the possibilities of Kurome rejecting her
proposal leading the two to fight it out to the death; without getting either si
des of the conflict involved in order to make it between just the two of them, T
atsumi professes he shares the same mindset as Leone in supporting whatever deci
sion Akame comes too in the end; Najenda noting Tatsumi's more calm demeanor com
pared to way back when.
As Akame sits outside under an oak tree looking up at the starless sky Tatsumi c
omes up to her wondering if she should be asleep by now or not. His hostess admi
ts she's too restless at the moment, Tatsumi states that he's coming with her to
oversee the battle between sisters and while Akame rebukes this stating that th
is is between family he retorts that because she's his friend and that this is h
er problem he will come as an impartial observer.
Neither as a member of Night Raid nor an emissary of the Rebel Army, just standi
ng guard as to keep anyone from interfering with they're business. Akame notes t
hat they're boss said he shouldn't be fighting now until the apex of the war its
elf, but he states that while she's only worried about his state of being from w
hen last he equipped Incursio that he'd happily give up another usage if it's fo
r a comrade in arms stating he can only use it four more times before he's done
in by it. Stating he was shocked that they left him behind the last time when th
e call to arms was sounded and that this was his way of making amends for his in
action, also mentioning he has no intention of dying seeing as he has to go back
to Mine assuming they win the war but could not stand living with himself if so
mething were to happen to a friend while he was resting up for the battle ahead
when he could have been there for them.
The Promise
Tatsumi asks Akame to kill him if he becomes possessed by Tyrant
Akame thanks him for his kindness and determination sharing with him that her Te
igu Murasame has a hidden trump card that she's unable to use due to it requirin
g she cast aside her humanity and become a vicious man-slaying demon. Asking him
as his friend that if she should succumb to the demon within using this hidden
aspect of her weapon, that Night Raid would end her on the spot stating it would
be an honor to have him end her before she becomes a ravenous butcher. Impresse
d by this statement Tatsumi goes onto request from Akame; that should Incursio c
onsumes him and he becomes Tyrant's new body that she would be there to put him
down as well. Saying that for him it too would be an honor to die at the hands o
f a comrade.
Knowing full well what that means, Tatsumi states his past self would denote suc
h a request as cowardly feeling that Akame would say you have Mine to go back to
o plus the fact that he promised her he would survive till the end of it all. Bu
t Tatsumi cuff's such understanding by stating Akame is selfishly asking her dea
r friend to end her should she end up crossing the event horizon, Akame can only
laugh as Tatsumi says the best they can do is give it they're all in the end. A
s the time of the sisters fateful duel came upon them Both he and Leone stood by
on the sidelines as the two sisters exchanged friendly commerce of the old days
.
Meanwhile when the battle between the two intensifies Wave manages to close in o
n they're location forcing Tatsumi to forfeit one of his Teigu's uses in order t
o repel boarders after he tried to intervene. As Wave finally did get past his d
efense, Tatsumi showed up just as the interloper managed to dissuade the fightin
g, offering to take himself and Kurome out of the revolutionary war after having
admitted his love for said teammate just as Leone comes in after checking the s
urrounding area for more insurgents. But this causes Kurome to mentally break do
wn due to her conflicting natures of not wanting to fight her sister and her loy
alties to a corrupt empire that ruined her life; to sever such anointment's tyin
g her down, the remnants of Night Raid witness as the former Jeager smashes her
Yatsufusa. Carrying her off to unknown territory taking themselves out of the co
nflict off of the Jeagers Afterwards,
Tatsumi shows further signs of degradation due to Incursio's influence once he d
iffused his weapon, a moment to which Akame laments due to her feeling responsib
le. But they all cheer up after Leone mentions how Wave single-handedly prevente
d the deathly battle between siblings and removed two Jeagers from the equation
saving countless lives.
Clashing Again
Tatsumi & Esdeath clash once again
When the time for the assault on the empire arrived, Tatsumi would be on the fro
nt-line battling Esdeath's formidable ice cavalry. Soon, Esdeath herself joins t
he battle, seeking to crush the revolutionary army's commander only to be halted
by Tatsumi. Despite being a bit winded during their brief one on one battle, Ta
tsumi while getting stronger, fought a now serious Esdeath to a standstill until
the empire signaled her to retreat.
Upon seeing the empire's trump card, Shikoutazer on the field, Tatsumi wasted no
time rushing to confront the young emperor. Due to the emperor being confused a
nd inexperienced with the ultimate teigu, Tatsumi easily dodged it's assaults an
d landed a counterattack giving him as well as the revolutionary army confidence
that he could prevail.
Once Shikoutazer's trump card "purge mode" had been activated, the Emperor seeme
d to lose his remaining sanity and began firing indiscriminately. Witnessing the
destruction, Tatsumi attempted to get the mad Emperor to understand what he was
doing only to be met with resistance. Tatsumi would continue to bounce between
being defensive and offensive until a stray missile headed towards civilians pro
mpted him to jump in between the two. By saving the civilians, Tatsumi was left
open for incoming attacks. The Emperor then pierced Tatsumi with a blade extendi
ng from the ultimate Teigu and subsequently punched into the ground.
With incursio smashed and nearing death, Tatsumi saw an imagine of Mine, after a
pologizing and saying he'd return to her when suddenly he's healed and incursio
fixed. Although shocked at first, he realizes what has occurred and incursio spr
outs a pair of dragon wings declaring he'll stop the Emperor no matter the cost.
Incursio 2nd Transformation
Incursio's second evolved form.
Before Shikoutazer could prepare to attack again, Wave arrived on the scene with
the intention of evacuating civilians and because he owed Tatsumi a debt. Despi
te his team up with Wave, Tatsumi determined that he needed more power to defeat
his foe and thus he forced incursio to evolve once more. After obtaining more p
ower, Tatsumi was able to force the emperor to go on the defense and together wi
th Wave they were able to heavily damage shikoutazer's armor. Once Wave leaves t
o help civilians, Tatsumi is able to give his full attention where he once again
tries to have the Emperor see the destruction he's causing only to be met with
resistance again.
Recalling Susanoo's advice, Tatsumi searches for and locates the weakened area w
ithin skikoutazer's armor. The Emperor calls for aid prompting Esdeath's appeara
nce which worries Tatsumi because their team up would ruin his gained momentum.
Akame arrives and holds the general at bay while Tatsumi focuses on skikoutazer.
Upon asking for more power, Tatsumi feels his consciousness slipping again and
with some encouragement from a imagined Bulat, Tatsumi is able to regain his con
sciousness and incursio evolves one final time. With his new power, Tatsumi is a
ble to plow through shikoutazer's blasts, it's weakened armor, and right through
it's body to finally destroy the Teigu and end the Empire's reign after more th
an a thousand years.
Immediately after destroying the ultimate teigu, Tatsumi is overcome by Tyrant's
influence and retrained. The revolutionary doctor concludes that upon receiving
a fatal wound, incursio possessed Tatsumi only for his burning passion to keep
him in check. Tatsumi escapes his retrains and heads for Esdeah where Akame begs
 him to fall back only for me to respond by saying Mine must be cold and that he
wants to be of some use before he's completely overtaken by Tyrant. Tatsumi sma
shes through several of Esdeath's attacks and is later wounded by her. Before he
could attack Akame who had rushed to his aid, Tatsumi was able to stop himself
and begged Akame to kill him before his conscious completely faded. He also remi
nded Akame about her promise to kill him should he turn into a dragon. Akame tha
n stabs him with Murasame and its curse's markings spread over his body as he co
llapses.
After Akame mortally wounds Esdeath, Tatsumi is seen flying towards them. After
meeting up with Akame and Najenda, it is explained that Akame only targeted and
killed the Tyrant but saved Tatsumi. Happy that he is still alive, even as a dra
gon, Tatsumi thanks Akame for helping him keep the promise to survive he made to
her.
Happy Ending2
Tatsumi & Mine reunite.
Sometime later, Tatsumi returns to see Mine and waits for her to wake up from he
r coma. Upon her awakening it is revealed that she is pregnant with Tatsumi's ch
ild. Because of the mental and physical injuries they sustained during battle, T
atsumi and Mine retired to the countryside were they lived a quiet and peaceful
life. They also married and had children. Tatsumi would eventually return to his
home village where he caused quite a commotion when he arrived because of his n
ew appearance. Thanks to a regular allowance from the new Empire, Tatsumi's home
village never went hungry again.

Tatsumi, at first, does not have a Teigu, but later inherits one from Bulat, bec
oming the successor of Incursio. During Tatsumi's first activation of his Teigu,
Tatsumi forces the demon armor to evolve to match his movements and battle-styl
e. Soon after, Tatsumi disciplines himself to new extends in order to fully mast
er his new Teigu, unlocking its abilities at a staggering rate. Thanks to Bulat'
s training on Mt. Fake, Tatsumi is able to develop a sixth sense, becoming more
aware of his surroundings. After the one month time-skip, Leone comments on how
Tatsumi was getting closer and closer to Bulat's level of strength and proficien
cy after seeing him materialize and utilize Neuntote, the spear/halberd auxiliar
y weapon.
Even before obtaining a Teigu, Tatsumi was a force to be reckoned with due to hi
s already honed battle skills. Having been taught swordsmanship and hand-to-hand
combat by an ex-military official since a young age, Tatsumi has since improved
, being able to take much large and experienced opponents down with ease.
From the beginning, Tatsumi is shown wielding a short sword and is his primary c
hoice of weaponry. Tatsumi's skill with the sword is so great that he is able to
defeat opponents as dangerous Captain Ogre while also being able to hold his ow
n against Teigu users like Zanku and Nyau for a good amount of time without havi
ng a Teigu of his own. Tatsumi is also skilled enough to survive longer than mos
t when faced against Akame in his first appearance. Tatsumi later becomes capabl
e of using a spear to where he can split two Giant Lizard Danger Beasts in half
from their mouth to the tip of their tail in a single movement.
After having donned Incursio for the first time, Tatsumi begins to rely on unarm
ed hand-to-hand combat more often than he used to, and is seen to be exceptional
ly skilled in fighting opponents even while unarmed, as seen during a tournament
held by Esdeath, utilizing the devastating, remarkable physical strength he pos
sesses, and supplementing this with his close quarters combat skill. Upon traini
ng his body in order to master his Teigu, Tatsumi becomes able to defeat a membe
r of the "Temple of the Imperial Fist" despite the difference in both size and e
xperience with ease without having to use Incursio. Tatsumi's overall strength b
ecomes so high that while using Incursio, he can easily obliterate a boulder man
y times his own size. Even without Incursio, Tatsumi has shown that he was stron
g enough to lift a bear-like Danger Beast with ease after killing it.
After forcing Incursio to evolve once more through his strong emotions, Tatsumi'
s strength and speed had reached to incredibly high levels that he managed to fi
ght on par with both Esdeath and Budo, especially due to Incursio having also ev
olved to be able to resist both ice and lightning attacks, the former of which a
llows Tatsumi to even resist the effects of Esdeath's Trump Card, Mahapadma, for
a moment. From Bulat's advice of being aware of his surroundings, Tatsumi had m
anaged to avoid one of Budo's lightning attacks, allowing him to deal a powerful
blow that injured Budo.
Another thing to note is that similar to how Wave is the first one in the series
to deal a clean, powerful blow on Akame, Tatsumi is the only one to have ever d
one the same to Esdeath as well as General Budo, a feat that surprised Esdeath,
Akame, and even Tatsumi himself. However, this is more due to how Esdeath's affe
ctions for Tatsumi, added with her enjoyment of the battle along with the Great
General's lack of combat experience coupled with blind fury, had given Tatsumi a
n opening for both instances.
From the forced evolution of Incursio, the Teigu has begun to bond with Tatsumi,
to the point that Tatsumi was to become Tyrant's new dragon body, something tha
t would break and kill Tatsumi, giving him a limit of 3-4 more uses of Incursio
before the effects take over fully. This has also made it that he is now resista
nt against poison, even a deadly one from Cosmina, due to how he had managed to
survive the poison trap the Prime Minister had placed on Incursio's hilt that wo
uld have fell a High Class Danger Beast in an instant. This also allowed Tatsumi
to fight, overwhelm, and kill Cosmina when she became a hybrid Danger Beast. Do
rothea claimed that Cosmina would have had advantage over Tatsumi if she had fed
on other humans for another two days. Though, despite this statement, Tatsumi w
as able to repel both Budo and Esdeath, two of the Empire's strongest.
Also, Esdeath carefully notes how powerful Tarsumi is and how Incursio continued
to evolve, as shown as they battled on the day of the Revolution. Despite unabl
e to land a fatal blow on the Empire's strongest, he is still shown to be more t
han able to hold his own against her and even hold her back from attacking the r
ebels. This proves his sheer strength and ability to adapt to his opponent.
Tatsumi is even able to be hit by Esdeath's dangerous 'Hagel Sprung' technique w
ith no injuries whatsoever.
Tatsumi reaches the pinnacle of his strength after forcing his Teigu to evolve o
nce more, needing a boost of power to defeat Shikoutazer, Tatsumi is shown to re
ceive a massive increase in power, to the point where he can inflict serious dam
age to Shikoutazer. He is able to destroy the Supreme Teigu in a matter of two h
its, the second one piercing through the Supreme Teigu's weakened area. He is al
so able to withstand Shikoutazer's devastating artillery strikes.
Unfortunately, despite this transformation being indescribably powerful, it is n
ot shown to last long as Incursio's influence quickly brings it to an end.
Tatsumi is an all-around fighter with a mountain load of potential that is notic
ed by Leone, Bulat, Esdeath and Budo among others. Leone is the first to notice
Tatsumi's potential and recommends him as a new recruit. Bulat believes that Tat
sumi will someday surpass him and leave him in the dust. Esdeath believes that w
ith enough training, Tatsumi can become general-class. General Budo noting Tatsu
mi's prowess and ability in the heat of combat remarking it all the more since h
e fused to his Teigu.
Other than his fighting abilities, Tatsumi is capable of using the forge to repa
ir and create weapons. Although his skills at blacksmithing are only at a beginn
er's level, it is still used as his cover while in the capital as shown when he
is announced as 'Tatsumi the Blacksmith' during Esdeath's competition. Tatsumi i
s also shown to be a very capable chef, having done some of the cooking for Nigh
t Raid at the beginning of his career.
Trivia
Tatsumi's name means "Sleeping Dragon", which seems to be a reference to his hid
den potential, which has been noted by many different characters in the series.
The first creature he was shown fighting was an Earth Dragon, and he later obtai
ned the "Demon Dragon" Teigu.
His parallel in the Jaegers is Wave.
Tatsumi is apparently a fan of the manga Hatsukiai, which is published in Gangan
Joker, the same publication that Akame Ga Kill! appears in.
He had a rather large forelock of hair on top of his head. Which has a tendency
to be rather expressive during times of emotion. Such as when Esdeath walks into
her bedroom half naked, it stands straight up.
