The difference I see with Esdeath is that her power's always been about freezing external things. Her imperial arms was always a damage-dealing type like Mine's, while Tatsumi's and Leone's have been user-stat-increase types that give the individual a boost. Never has its power manifested outside of its user.
It's possible I suppose, given the nature of this adaptation. Transferring her Imperial Arms to him would seem more plausible however.
If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
Considering how much he likes Leone's transformed form, that is possible. Problem is, can a dead person use an imperial arm?
Peace.
More importantly, they were pretty clear about nobody being able to use two imperial arms at once.
I wouldn't be surprised if he just stayed dead. We're in anime-unique ending territory. And that usually means huge depressing nonsense.
Esdeath isn't going to revive him either. He lost, so he was weak and not the man she had hoped him to be.
Technically speaking he didn't lose. He won the battle as the Emperor's mecha was finished. He died protecting a few idiot citizens who were too stupid to save themselves.
I'm not sure if Esdeath distinguishes between death and losing. The fact that he escaped because of his friends was evaluated positively by her despite it not being achieved by Tatsumi's power alone.
Why are Akame and Esdeath fighting anyway? The empire is hosed. Tatsumi is dead. What conflict do those two even have?
Peace.
She is evil and sadistic.Enough for her. Esdeath has always been a target I think.
Is there enough reason to risk killing Esdeath right now alone?
Peace.
Because she can lay waste to entire armies, and the the Revolution can't actually succeed as long as she's opposing it?Originally Posted by shinta|hikari
You didn't understand my post. I meant Akame is in a severe disadvantage right now. Why not wait for a better opportunity? Esdeath loves diving into danger. It will come.
Peace.
You mean, like, a later date? Or just wait till she attacks some other people?
Cause the rebellion is happening, and if she doesn't take out Esdeath pretty quick, Esdeath is going to go back out and kill everyone.
They should first kill the Emperor and the minister. After that, Esdeath is just a single person. She has to eat and sleep; plenty of opportunities to slay her like a true assassin would, when there's not anymore an Empire to protect her rest.
What he said.
Akame should at least wait for a couple more Teigu users from the rebellion. There's bound to be some.
Peace.
When I read this I saw Akame disguised as Tatsumi. Esdeath takes the bait and some hot yuri happens.
I don't know why I saw that.

Horriblesubs- Akame Ga Kill 24
There ya go. For me the best part of the this episode was the music at the end =\
It was an annoyingly realistic ending: Assassins working for the rebellion have no role in the new, shiny goverment that replaces the old tyranny. Maybe the luckiest ones were those who died for the cause, as the rest would either be disposed of or sent away and vilified (like Akame) because the new government must deny any connection to such entities.
I can't say I'd like how this ended. I'm not against sad endings as a principle, Les Miserables, one of the first novels I read, taugh me how wonderful they can be, but it was kind of distasteful here, in my opinion, because it feels like Tatsumi died so meaninglessly and didn't even see how it all ended. As a last insult, whenever some villager from his home travels to the capital, or somebody learned enough from the capital visits the village, they might learn that their hero was in fact a notorious, wanted man. There's a much lower chance for them to ever learn the whole truth. After all, the scene where they received the gold suggested the soldiers told them nothing.
Best scenes were:
-Esdeath's final moments with Tatsumi
-All of Leone's scenes
-Gold-giving, heart-tugging
I have to say the opposite to Kraco, that I can't say I dislike how this ended. Unless you argue that the story shouldn't have derailed in the first place, this conclusion to everything tied ends up sufficiently.
If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
I simply don't want Esdeath and Tatsumi to die.
Therefore, BAD END.
Excluding the after image bullshit, that was one hell of a final battle though.
Peace.
I haven't read the source so I wouldn't really know how this was supposed to end, although I have yet to see many examples of an anime original ending being better (Usagi Drop is one). Still, that wasn't my point. It just bothers me that this ended so meaninglessly for the main characters. Like I said in my previous post, this ended realistically: Under the kind of circumstances as in this story, few in the rebellion could dare to hope to live to see the victory, instead they would find themselves dead summarily, lying in a pool of their own blood, alone and forgotten, like Leone. But to be honest we aren't watching fiction to see realistic endings. Now the single person of Night Raid who got rewarded was the terrible, incompetent commander. The rest all died or had to disappear, and they will forever be called nasty murderers.
Typical bullshit anime-original ending. Let's just kill off everyone for the sake of killing everyone off.
Let's have a highly trained assassin killed off by a fat old man with a pistol even though she was in arms reach of him(also, gotta love those flintlock pistols that somehow have an entire magazine of bullets...somewhere).
The fight was awesome though. There was a lot of Lee Vs. Gaara in it. Only with ice instead of sand.
That's dumb. Esdeath would have destroyed the ENTIRE Rebel army before the day was even done. They'd have lost before she needed to eat or sleep.
