its nice character arent safe, this keeps one thrilled about what could happen next, and better is that there are no changes of heart so overused nowadays, that in the end the cast gets absurdly big with characters you dont even care.

It really is nice to characters from the Mc's group dies compare to other series even if its sad but... how did the author do it?
Is his way of picking who to killed of next in the clash of the protagonist's side and the empire's by his will or by lottery-like system? kinda curious about that... |

Like every other aspect of a story, deaths are based on what serves/drives the plot, characters and theme at that given point in time. Most Mangakas usually have events like that planned long beforehand. This series death toll isn't particularly high compared to some of other manga in genre, but it does well evoking a real sense of danger and unpredictability in battles. While the main characters are strong they aren't invincible, nor antagonists simple pushovers. Furthermore they're Assassins, a line of work that's very high risk, full of strife and emotional turmoil. This something that naturally comes with that territory.

He killed Braht because he needed a Teigu to give to Tatsumi, and because he looks like Kamina.

Well, that teigu, Inclusio was created with material from the most ferocious beast in the world aka the strongest rare species according to the manga (they use rare species instead of monster). I don't know about what seems to appear behind Tatsumi when he activated it though, need translation on that part. |

From the spoilers it appears when Tatsumi grabbed the sword, the aura of that thing behind him is showed. So maybe the sword Tatsumi is holding onto is a Teigu. Though the beast looking thing reminds me of that Ax guy who craves the experience of fighting. I most likely think it is one of the big 3, which is the Ax guy.

Monstrous looking aura from the sword then, sure brings down the intimidation element in the fight rather easily. Can't wait to read it, base off the translation that are coming out, I may not wait too long to read it.

My guess would be that Tatsumi have more compatibility with that type of Teigu, the type with spirit beast inside. Remember what Night Raid leader said there's no Teigu that believe to be stronger than the other. Each person compatibiliy give rise to its strenght.

It gets better no worries, the thing about this Manga is it suppose to seem real. Aside for the special Teigu weapons, this manga reflects things that happen in the old age of civilization. This manga takes the life of an Assassin and it shows the good and the bad with the job. Though I find the torture disturbing, I have read worst from history which included the reign of Vlad the Impaler, the Crusades, and the Inquisitions.
