i wonder who will it be this year? i hope Mein
no one die.....
well, lets see at christmas next month.....:sad:
Just got back from live thread on /a/. Well it was like watching a good wrestling match with lots of unexpected happened and new players keep coming.
I won't say nothing happens. This chapter was just a buildup for chirstmas chapter next month because every chirstmas is interesting for Akame manga reader.
Tatsumi got powered up, and his incursio becomes star platium to counter Esdese's time freeze.
Akame out of nowhere, she's so irrelevant even Esdese didn't notice her presence.
Budou's back again, now it's Esdese+Budou vs. Night Raid. The Night Raid team is royally fucked.
http://i.imgur.com/NjUH0s7.jpg
She's wet
a chapter with informativeness:
incursio can evolve, may even more than once.
incursio can overcome esdeath's time freezing
esdeath has another unknown signature move
then the last, budou has a brilliant chance for earning his reputation back. 1vs4 ongoing
i am wondering where are the rest jaegers and wildhunts.
Then a final reminder: next month will be dangerous for every character, akame excluded.

Either way Budo is back to get his reputation back. Can't wait for Christmas to see who dies.

I was beyond amused how Budo was actually undamaged besides his pride.
And the shitstorm begins. This manga cannot get more unpredictable, can't it?
Btw, I don't think Christmas will apply this time around, as Lubbock died just recently. But if I had to choose someone...
That would be Esdeath.

I dunno about that. Esdeath even before Budou appeared has never once actually felt threatned this fight, and has yet another new move she wants to try out. Unless both Akame and Leone got stronger like Mine and Tatsumi did, I doubt Esdeath will die when she has another ace up her sleeve. Add in the fact that there's a very pissed off Budou ready to regain his reputation, there's a more likely chance of someone from NR dying in this fight. Most likely either Mine or Leone.
Why do I have the feeling this time Esdeath's signature move is going to backfire horribly? She looks so confident, yet forgets adapting to extremly cold environments is likely not the only new ability Incursio developed. This battle was made so Night Raid looked hopeless against 2 powerhouses, and this is indeed the sensation it gives off.
But something no one expects is likely to happen. Like, where's Najenda?

With how serious things are, I won't be surprised if Esdeath does die although she is 1st ranked character out of the entire series... D:
Hmm i think Esdeath having another signature move under her sleeve isn't really a surprise there but
since Esdeath used her time freeze already, i wonder how smart it is of her to try another one of her signature move. The time freeze is quite taxing on her if i'm not mistaken. If she tries something even more taxing and well failed to kill her enemies, won't she leave herself vulnerable.
Well at least that's how i view it. Not sure though. Now back to patiently waiting for Jaegers and Wild Hunt to participate.

Yep.
This time her time freeze technique didn't work as she expected would. If she pulls off another equally or stronger move and fails, then...

Jeagers and Wild Hunt would be overkill lol
I said it before and I'm going to say it again. Esdeath doomed herself the instant she started to rely on that time freezing technique. And what caused her to develop that? Her obssesive desire to make Tatsumi hers. Falling for him signaled Esdeath's downfall.
If that new signature move she's about to pull isn't successful...
Jeagers and Wild Hunt would be overkill lol
But it would make things interesting. :D
I think the manga will end soon, it seems like this is the final arc.

When is the picture gained? We already saw it before the same things..
2vs4
Esdeath and Budou vs Akame, Tatsumi, Mine and Leone.
To see Incursio evolved again, it's quite impressive to see he can still move even Esdeath use Mahapadma.
Two Elite Generals vs Four Assassins but we haven't see Najenda yet include Kurome and Wave. If both shows up then it will be a duel one by one for each of them.
Esdeath vs Mine
Budou vs Tatsumi / Leone
Wave vs Tatsumi / Leone
Akame vs Kurome

Not this again...
No. Once again, there's still too much in the air, let alone the fact the PM is preparing something big with Dorothea's help.
Not this again...
Not sure why people keep on pressing on this issue.

Not sure why people keep on pressing on this issue.
With all the stuff that has yet to be explained, the recent introductions of a new enemy faction as well as Budou himself, and many hints that point out we might have reached just the middle point of the story (Dorothea's involvement in the PM's schemes, the issue with Cosmina, the Path of Peace still waiting to make their move, etc) you would think they would stop. Nevermind.
Oh, and the Imperial Teigu, too!
Exactly. With all the ongoing factors that would make even Esdeath and Budo's death seem like unimportant such as Honest still alive and trying to make another son, his ongoing partnership with Dorothea on a certain experiment. And what would happen to Jaegars if Esdeath dies. What about Wild Hunt? The Imperial Teigu which we know nothing of.
Hell, for all we know Night Raid might also even get new recruitments somehow.
But what if it doesn't?
It wouldn't be the first time a series end with open and unanswered issues/questions, and not the last for sure For example Wakaki throw the plot away on Kaminomi he build up on just 1 chapter and ended it with a a shipping, leaving behind a lot of unanswered questions.
The final aim of the manga is to bring down the Empire. As Night Raid is now, this is nothing short of a utopia.

This is interesting....some people on /a/ are theorizing that Tatsumi might be hurt in some way. Either through Incursio somehow taking his energy or he got poisoned. They say this because in one of the pages where Tatsumi goes to grab Incursio from his bindings, it looked Tatsumi got pricked by something.

And now that the blood contract has been fulfilled Tatsumi and Incursio have mutually bonded and become stronger as one interwoven bl entity.
Just me imagining a possible future, a little exaggerated but if it is Incursio absorbing his energy/life force I do see a possible power up coming along.

Yea, it did look like barbed wire, so I'm assuming it might be poison, but I am gonna go out on a limb and say SOMETHING will happen to either Tatsumi and/or Mine.

If you mean mind control, I don't think Esdeath can do that. I think the covers represent the couple battling the general (look at the big ice shards). In those two covers Mine's arm seems to be reaching at Tatsumi, while the later hasn't even put on Incursio.
But I think in the end these covers are just symbolic :heh:
It could also mean Tatsumi is running to Mine to shield her. Looking at the way her arm is extended, if it were to be anything I think it would be that.

Nah. We not even close to Fairy Tail shit. I would seriously bet that the 4 of them are NOT coming out of this fight unscathed. At least one of them is either gonna die or get crippled/critically wounded, with either Esdeath or Budou going down with them. Now that I think about it, a double character death for Christmas would create the biggest shitstorm this manga has seen yet.
@K.Shiruto
Mind control wasn't exactly the first thing that came to mind. I was thinking more along the lines of one of them about to receive a fatal blow, while the other rushes to try and save them. But damn it all, there is too much fucking possibilities about what could happen next chapter.:D
It feels like the manga is or will be more than 3/4 quarter done after Tats' rescue. Haven't read any spoilers yet but having both or either of the generals down would prompt Honest to kick start his plan with Dorothea and bring the imperial Teigu into play. At which point it will be pretty much the "enter the enemy stronghold and take out the boss" setup that will come into play eventually.

First, if only one General falls, Honest wouldn't even be the bit worried. Well even if both fall, Honest probably won't care much like Syura said as long as the Imperial Teigu is there, Honest probably isn't worry about any threat from NR. Plus we can't rule out the possibilities that Honest still has more pawns aside from Esdeath. At least he can use the Danger Beast surrounding the sky above the palace. So Honest doesn't even need to kick start his plan even if both Budo or Esdeath falls. At worst, he'll just have to use the remainders of Jaegars and Wild Hunt to hold back NR.

Does anyone have a clearer pick for Incursio's new form? It looks amazing.
Kurome and Wave should be nearby, i want them to make a duel since Night Raid is four members which turns to be one on one for each of them.
It's more interesting if Najenda joins the fight to defeat Esdeath or probably Najenda got more something to do especially luring Budou's royal guard back to palace from last bastion of Empire.

Doesn't seem too far off.
We weren't introduced to the 48 Teigu and Nights Raids Mission to retrieve them only to have about half never revealed.
They're a major plot device after all.
This Manga certainly won't end until we have seen all 48.It'd be ridiculous otherwise.
As for:
The apparent "Asspull".
There is none.
Upon paying closer attention, one can make out the fog and shroud when something is deep frozen.
Apparently Esdeath comments on Incursio's ability to adapt to extreme colds when Mahapadma isn't affecting him.
Which makes total sense seeing that Mahapadma is an Ice Hell in Buddhism.
And we also were told about the Tyrant being able to adapt cold climates when first mentioned.
And even if it wasn't, Incursio still experienced Mahapadma before.
This is all perfectly reasonable.The only thing making this seem like an Asspull is that Incursio is proving to be insanely broken.

Only if it would have actually resulted in something.
In the end, her pinch didn't do anything. Status Quo remains.
It was mainly referred to as Bullshit caused of what of what happened to Budo and people actually thinking he was defeated or even dead.
If anything, it hypes up Budo even more.
That was supposed to be Pumpkin at ultimate power.
A MUCH weaker shot disintegrated Kakusan, and that guys defense was nothing to laugh at.
Meanwhile, Budo got hit by Pumpkin at unprecedented power combined with his own attack.
Result:
Nothing.
Not even a scratch.Literally.
Same applies for Esdeath, except for shooting down some Ice it didn't do anything to her.
People were going mad at that for nothing in the end.
Mine was at her peak.Budo is perfectly fine.Esdeath had no issues with her./Shrug

Man, /a/ just pointed out how fitting Mahapadma is for Esdeath....
Mahāpadma (摩訶鉢特摩) is the "great lotus" Naraka. The entire body cracks into pieces and the internal organs are exposed to the cold, also cracking.
Life in the first Naraka is said to last as long as it takes to empty a barrel full of sesame seeds if you would only remove one seed every hundred years. Each Naraka lasts 20 times as long as the last one. Mahapadma is the last of the 8 cold Narakas.
When they are nearly dead they are revived and the process goes on for countless years, in which each day is equal to 30,000 earthly years. Souls are sentenced to this hell for 80,000 such years and that means 1,800 billion or 1.8 trillion years.
I know a bit about it.But not that it's this monstrous.

Precisely.
While I do think she's a Monster, at the same time I cannot feel different than...hurt?
She can't bring herself to kill Tatsumi cause she loves him so much, yet at the same time is in utter joy when Tatsumi is fighting her "equally" for the sake of killing her.

Creds to /a/:
Cocytus
9th Circle of Hell - Betrayal
The traitors are distinguished from the "merely" fraudulent in that their acts involve betraying a special relationship of some kind. There are four concentric zones (or "rounds") of traitors. These rounds correspond, in order of seriousness, to betrayal of family ties, betrayal of community ties, betrayal of guests, and betrayal of liege lords. In contrast to the popular image of Hell as fiery, the traitors are frozen in a lake of ice known as Cocytus, with each group encased in ice to progressively greater depths.
Not even Satan was spared from this in Dante's Inferno and was crying cause it's so agonizing.
i am curious did Tatsumis power go above that of suu? if so was it confirmed? By the look of how Tatsumi fought against Esdeath it may have.

Yea, I mentioned that before that those wires may have been laced with poison(otherwise there would be point even showing it all) and will defitnetly come into play during the fight. I had thought that the empire might've down it just to be safe, which would most-likely be a lethal poison. But, Esdeath seems to be the one most-likely to have done it. She had already knew that NR would most likely step-in and done it in case Tatsumi got freed.
If true, then Esdeath is one hell of a genius ice-bitch.
Well its nice to see Tatsumi getting a impressive upgrade, so Incursio must constantly evolve as its user grows.
So upon reading again from the introduction of Wild Hunt, I just realized Leone and Najenda might have sealed their fate.
And I also think this mission is going to end up with Night Raid's crushing defeat. This is how things are looking as of this moment.

For Najenda you have chapter 49, the last two pages. I hate to use the term "death flag", but Najenda's is so high, specially in the last page.
During a short interaction they have where Leone fondly embraces Tatsumi, she asks him if there's some way she could return the favor he did to her during that time Tatsumi saved Leone from being killed off by Esdeath.

I don't see how returning the favor requires her to die. In most stories returning favors for saving you don't involve dying and making the saving rather redundant.
Well, she's the "Nee-san", and that certainly doesn't bode well, specially every time we are reminded Bulat was Tatsumi's "Aniki".
It saddens me, but I know Leone won't make it out alive by the time the manga ends.

By the manga's end yes. But there are better ways to kill her off.
Also the author only kills one Night Raid member off per a fight, two sounds like a little much.

We always knew this.
It's just some refused to believe this because they wanted her to lose it or go batshit ape :heh:.Yeah. And it reminds me of past debates between AC-Phoenix & XFire:
I kinda question Esdeath actually wanted to kill Tatsuma and rather just lure his girlfriend out.
How I got that idea?
Well by reading a bit between the lines.
First off she assertains him in front of a crowd (and Budoh) that she knows exactly where to strike to kill him from her long years of torturing.
So lets analyse this sentence a bit and realise, that this comes with a consequence:
She also knows where to strike to NOT KILL the tortured.
But have them say in state where anyone else would believe they are dead.
The next point is also hidden in this sentenc; You don't need to have experience in torture to know how to execute someone.
De facto she could just cut his head off and the entire execution is over.
Going on to the second suspicious part: She and Budoh (who might as well be in it) had an agreement that Esdeath would get the corpse.
What the heck does she want the corpse for?
They could have as well agreed on a normal funteral, yet their agreement was that esdeath is to be handed the corpse.
Which is a nice hint that she might want him near dead so Kurome can finish him off with her sword to ultimately make him a puppet for Esdeath.
It should be noted though that destroying Incursio would be a bad move then.
Another plausible way to understand it is her not wanting him dead in the first place, but believed to be dead. And lets be honest here... What is a better way to make both Budoh and Night Raid think he is dead than using a public execution.I hate to break it to you, put the reason she talked about her experience wasn't to announce she knew how to kill him. She was going to torture him. That's why she said "I look forward to seeing how long you can last". This isn't an execution, it's a show. It's supposed to last a long time.
She was probably going to stuff it or something. This isn't a significant event, it's Esdeath laying claim to Tatsumi even after death, exactly as her personality dictates.Yes which is exactly my point.
No one would ever realize if he didn't die if she just announced it. ;)
And yet we will probably never find out, although I doubt Esdeath would be able to deal with the smell.
There is aactually an exhibition human where people donate their corpses before they die for it - And even though the preparation methods are a lot more modern than what esdeath has at her disposal it still smells.
(I really rue having gone to school on that day lol)
Kuromes sword sounds like a plan too btw...........You honestly, truly believe she could fake his death, with a sword, infront of a giant crowd and f***ing Budou? She's going to bleed him to death, not poison him. How could she fake that?
Also, in case you didn't notice, he's on a cross. I'm guessing you aren't familiar with the traditional execution method involving crosses, but Tatsumi wasn't getting off there for at least a week.Yes, as I have previously explained, she also knows where to strike for him to pass out or be in a state similar to death.
I kinda doubt Budoh is very much into torture so he wouldn't know whether a spot is deadly or not.
De facto, announcing that she is into torure is completely meaningless if she doesn't have an ulterior motive, since both Budoh and Tatsumi are very aware of this fact, and considering how the majority of the crowd was shown smiling they are probably aware of it too.
The announcement was suspicious as hell.
I am aso well aware of the procedure involved in crossing, since I didn't sleep in history.
you just need to look at him to tell that he was definitely not on that cross for an entire week.
And frankly when looking at the cross itself I doubt he has been on there for even a day as it is apparently a stone cross.
And notably one that seems to be mounted right into the ground as if built into it rather than temporarily sticked in.
The absence of any support elements pretty much points towards that too.
If he had been on it for an entire week there would have been dozens of chances to get him out too so its pretty safe to say he was in the palace until the day of his execution.You can't do that with a sword. This isn't a fist fight, she can't hit pressure points. And she isn't going to stab him in a vital spot, she's going to bleed him.
He doesn't have to be an expert on torture to check for a pulse. And again, there is no way to knock him into a state of semi-death with a sword. He'd be bleeding from a dozen wounds, and would be dead before she could get him out of the arena.
Also, she wasn't announcing it. She said it to Tatsumi and only Tatsumi. She was threatening him or attempting to break his spirit.
Not "been there". "Going to be there". Crucifixion was a form of ultimate punishment because they didn't kill you, they left you to die. She was going to slice him open and bleed him out, and the crowd was going to watch the whole time.You can actually pass out from blood loss, and considering her sentence its very plausible she has a good guess of how much blood one needs to loose before they pass out.
Yeah about checking pulse... Lets just say waking up in your coffin isn't entirely something that only occurs in horror movies.
Except of course you think that Budoh has an EEG at hand in which case it would indeed be very hard to fake a death.
On a more serious note though - Premature burials have been reported back to the 14th century. Considering how it sometimes still happens nowadays, where clinical death isn't even the main indicator anymore, you can probably imagine very vividly that it happened a lot more often in the 16th and 17th century.
Considering the nature of her taigu she could probably even use it to get his pulse down to a minimum, while claiming she is using it for torture, and honestly he wouldn't be the first person to survive cardiac arrest, not to mention not the first person in AGK to survive a wound that one would usually consider certain death.
Arguable.
If you want to break the spiriti of someone who is going to be tortured what do you tell them?
'I know where to stab you to kill you.'
or
'I know where to stab you to prolong your death as long as I can.'
?
No she wasn't going to 'slice' him open, she was going to stab him, thats a difference.
The 'going to be' is exactly the point btw. As you said yourself - she planned to leave him there for a while.
Calculate the chances that people will watch 24/7So, concerning "Esdeath wants to fake-execute Tatsumi", now we can see who is mostly right and mostly wrong with their assessment and counterarguments.

Looking at the latest manga chapter,... I can't say I'm not entirely surprised, though I also can't say I'm not disappointed either.
Here, I was hoping the battle would end, but NOPE!: Takahiro just HAD to pull up another troll card and start, yet, ANOTHER battle. Well, at the rate that its' going, I guess we can expect this entire thing to finish up in, what, the end of the next volume?
And I can see that, since I don't see Najenda (which also proves my theory wrong that she's going to die; now is seems that Leone is going to be the one who dies, which will very well upset me), so she may just be doing some kind of solo mission or something (maybe rescuing Lubbuck or something, since I don't think the rest of NR knows he's dead), so we'll probably see a fight between her and someone else, we'll probably see the two fights back and forth, and then the one with Najenda gets resolved in the second to last chapter (whether or not she dies is anyone's guess at this point), and the one with the rest of NR is resolved in the last chapter (probably with someone getting killed and someone on the other end getting seriously injured).
Though, part of me also thinks that there's nothing to worry about and the battle with end late next month. Either way, we have to wait until late next month.
Ah, Takahiro: you really love trolling us, don't you?
(By the way, I'm glad Mine didn't die, but it's getting kind of annoying now; if you have the intentions of killing her off, then kill her off! Geez!)
EDIT: I just realized something: since they're going to be fighting in front of a live audience, I guess this means that none of them will be able to make surprise attacks, since the audience will probably just yell whenever something crazy is going to happen. It's definitely a possibility.

Speculation time:
One of the big mysteries of the series IMO is Izou.
Going by the converation between Syura and Honest, each Member of Wild Hunt has a Teigu.
However, we know from the Guidebook, Izou's is not Kousetsu.
And also, Izou comments that he LIVES solely for Kousetsu, thus having no interest in Teigu.
So here's what I'm calling:
Izou's Teigu is himself, a Biological One who somehow forgot he is one.
I mean, what else?

But it would make things interesting. :D
It wouldn't the author sucks at doing large battles as it is, for example the Kurome fight was a mess it was a huge brawl like smash brothers.
Wave vs NR he only did 1v1 wave attacks Akame no one backs her up, he switches to lubbock mine doesn't shoot at all until lubbock is sent flying. You can tell the author struggles at drawing big battles without making it a clustered mess with characters doing stupid things.
Mine and Tatsumi vs esdeath was perfect now it's a cluster fck,author is now booting off Izou, Wave,Kurome for no other reason other than to not make this too chaotic which is fine.
Let's hope we don't see out of character bull where one doesnt do jack when the other is pressured or where the fight is one sided as hell.
Speak for yourself, the Kurome fight was great, and the author has proven fair enough he can do lenghty battles (the first real confrontation against Esdeath is really good example).
But why are you even here anyway if every time you post is to whine about something?

On the other hand, HxH's art sucks monkey balls when compared to AgK. But, to hell with that comparison. I'm a fan of AgK as much as I'm a fan of HxH and I consider both equally fun in their own way. And yes, I agree that anybody can complain here (as long as it's civil) because even fans have something they don't like (I know I do).

Well of course.
Cause last chapter we literally had Mine by herself taking on the two Generals.
Shooting Budo away, provoking Esdeath MASSIVELY,Pumpkin going ultimate Mode and Mine vs Esdeath as Cliffhanger.
Anticipation often beats the actual event.
However, in this case, this chapter wasn't about hype but excitement.
It's about being a back and forth of tango'ing with death.
We know by now, that truly noone is safe.
Began with Mine vs Esdeath.I don't have to mention how the two fandoms are at war.
At the same time, Budo could get up any moment and troll either one.
Then Tatsumi was freed and it got 2 vs 1 with Incursio evolving.
Tatsumi able to match Esdeath to some extend.
Mine about to shoot down Esdeath (Who was forced to pull out Mahapadma to survive).
Then during Timestop she heads straight for Mine, literally Susanoo Flashback.
But nope, Tatsumi is not affected cause Incursio adapted.
Timestop ends, Esdeath rushes in to kill Mine again.
Akame appears to surprise attack Esdeath, Memory comes in: AKAME GA KILL and this being the place where Esdeath first met Tatsumi.
Nope, didn't work, Ice attacks Akame.
In comes Leone, MAJOR DEATHFLAG.
Nope, survived for now.
Esdeath reveals she has another Trump Card.All Alarm bells should ring here.
(Like, I said until this point, Budo could have popped out anytime too.)
Then, he comes out his hole, literally UNSCATHED from Ultimate Pumpkin and his own Attack and begins to march in.
If you know how this series operates, then this chapter was filled to the brim with the possibility and fear of a death.
Doesn't help either if you remember that Bols,Stylish,Sheele,Susanoo and Chelsea died in the months November and December.

If she isn't dead in this month's chapter, I'd say it's a pretty good bet that she'll survive for quite a bit longer. If she died within the next few chapters now, people would just be nonchalant about it, or even mad that the anime spoiled her death. The author would have to extend her life if she's not a goner this month.
The anime just went full retard. I refuse to watch this mess any longer.

The prophecy is the key. As long as that doesn't get addressed one more time, Mine and Tatsumi are safe for the time being. Because we know that prophecy is important, that is not just about those two, because that power of the Leader of the Path of Peace only activates whenever it wants to show him HUGE things.

Interesting. Now that Mine is dead in the anine, basically now people are gonna either say this will spoil Mine's death in the manga, or that Mine was killed in the anime so she could live in the manga.
At this point Takahiro is clearly trolling the fanbase and the studio, since he got told the anime would take a different direction altogether. He won't spoil anything that will be featured in the original story, this is for granted.
And now with only 3 episodes left, I'm gonna wait to see which absurd way is Esdeath gonna die.

School Days,Seikon no Qwasar, Kore wa Zombie desu Ka and Devil Survivor 2.
Machida did all the good Episodes, literally.Sheele,Bols,Chelsea, Stylish Invasion.
Nakamura is who we have to thank for Episode 20.
And Mine dying means nothing Mangawise seeing we know it goes Anime Original.

On another note, I'm not going to comment on the death of Mine (though I have yet to watch the episode). I have no words. Although, the only other thing is: I hope this is an alternate thing and she ends up surviving until the end in the manga.

Those also ended within I believe 2 weeks of each other in both cases, if not within days. Unless next month's chapter is the finale, those comparisons mean nothing.
^And any ln has a deadline months before its release you know?

Tatsumi should befriend Esdese so she could day? lol
Look at Naruto. The end was planned 10 years ago and according to the anime staff it's true.
^And any ln has a deadline months before its release you know?
And episodes are finished weeks, if not months, before release as well. So not really sure how the comparison is supposed to work? The two examples you gave ended around the same time, so there was little to no spoiling or it was easy enough to avoid spoilers for the short period of time. This, however, wouldn't end at the same time unless next month's chapter is the finale.
So how do the ones that ended at the same approximate time having similar/the same content have anything to do with this? Since it's not ending right now, it'd completely cheapen any deaths if characters died in similar ways/timing. Budou might be the only exception, since he barely did anything in either medium at this point.

It's not like people were saying it just because he's the main character. They said way back around when Bulat died that it was a Teigu capable of evolving based on its host due to the beast it was made from still being conscious or something.

Considering how she only really seems to care for Tatsumi I can see her trying to leave the other three to Budou while going after Tatsumi.
Just realized that all Tatsumi needed to evolve Incursio again was to lose his bro Lubbock.

That said the most scary thing is that she isn't even sweating and pretty much ignores Mein while facing off Tatsumi. If Esdese has another trump card then they're pretty much fucked up.

It's pretty obvious, the raws were dumped on /a/, and some people were posting translations of some pages there. Actually the threads for the new chapter dump were a little crazy.
While waiting for the english translation, I could say that the next chapter will have someone to die since its christmas and the author just let someone die during that ocasion.

hey guys, someone said that the anime is based on the "novel draft" of the author...and the ending was even more sad.
is this true?
i highly doubt it, considering that the most recent episode derived off the path and had many inconsistencies with the rest of the show, it even majorly conflicted with the previous episode.
I think its more of a FMA scenario where need more anime, not enough manga, but the story must go on
Edit - sorry confusing manga x anime together. Well It isn't as much conflict as I had in my mind but still think its a case of FMA
hey guys, someone said that the anime is based on the "novel draft" of the author...and the ending was even more sad.

Well the author is helping in the anime ending, so the events in the anime might happen in the manga as well, just with slightly different scenario, like locations and maybe longer process than the anime one due to more characters.
Major question right now is, where's Najenda? She's nowhere to be seen and I doubt she infiltrated in the Imperial Pallace. So what's she waiting for?

I think(keyword: think) that the anime might've spoiled that in a way. In the latest episode, she flew in an air manta and revealed that the stadium was rigged with explosives. I think something really similar to that will happen next chapter. Since Najenda is the only NR not present, it may be that the plan was to have her rig the place with explosives beforehand(instead of Lubba doing it, it was her), and then fly in and blow the whole place up when Tatsumi is freed, providing Night Raid the chance they need to escape.
But the Air Manta is dead, so she can't fly in or use it to escape.

Unfortunately yes. Perhaps it's not so easy to tame a danger beast.
Budo's reputation was restored in the latest manga chapter only for it to be completely destroyed a few days later in the anime :heh:
I'm going to think of them as different characters. Manga Budo seems a lot stronger than his anime counterpart.

No, No. Budou still has a lot to do in manga before he can restore a slightest bit of reputation.
Look, in anime, he seems to be powerful as well at first. Mein's cannon beam cannot break his thunder defense, just like manga has shown.
Then he is just foolish enough to give up his close combat skill and chooses remote attack. We don't know whether this will be reprised in the manga. As far I have observed, he doesn't lack power, but his combating intelligence is in doubt.

Well it adapts by evolving. At least in the RAW version, it wrote clearly that Incursio evolved. And the evolution is mostly probably permanent, Tatsumi's version of Incursio isn't an one time thing too.
Got the feeling that the more incursio improves/evolves/adapt, more is the risk of the owner to drown in its power, ending mixed/united with it and having the will of the original monster controlling over the body of the one wielding it--it may not happen, but it will be cool

Nah, no matter how strong he got the author put an "out" in there so they can remove him from the battle whenever it's desired for the outcome he wants to achieve.

Last time NR went against Esdese alone they all got fodderized except for Suu.
Suu ended up dying because he was the only one that could stalemate her even if only for a little bit.
Now NR is taking Esdese and Budo(who is Esdese level) at the same time with the strongest person on their side now being tatsumi most likely who is going to get screwed over by the barb wire being on incursio and end up being incapacitated or weakened.
So how exactly don't they get wiped out within seconds and tatsumi is forcibly taken by Esdese and molded into her love slave?

Well I take conciliation that the anime will have a decisive ending, as I didn't think it would with it not getting a second season.
Edit: The anime episode actually wasn't bad, they are at least resolving an important plot line in the usual Akame Ga Kill tragic way.
And they are maintaining certain core themes, so its not perfect, but I am enjoying it.

So after all they didn't say in manga what was with those wires around Incursio's handle (in some spoilers I read that it was poison).
Anyway, my first thought when Esdeath said that he dont need to hide anymore and can transform... There was something at the beginning of the story that teigu can reject you, so for a second I thought that it was because Tatsumi wasn't sure if he can transform in front of Esdeath, but than I remembered that she already know and Tatsumi knows that she knows. So that theory has died quickly :P
But I think that poison will be boring so I came with the theory that Esdeath covered it with love potion >D
Although version with Esdeath teigu on it will be also nice :D
hmmm but, if it was poison, then she can force Tatsumi to lick antidote... but this is more like spin off version >D
Oh now that i think about it it seemed like Esdeath encouged Tatsumi to use his teigu so what if its her blood on the wire like Casarial said , maybe that will give Esdeath some kind of control over Tatsumi . That power really suit her charater who dominates but too bad for Tatsumi that he will be her slave .

I get the feeling that if it was that simple we would actually have gotten a panel with Tatsumi noting how he can't use Incursio and thus making him force it's activation.
Instead we just got a "wtf is this" from Tatsumi who then proceed to use Incursio without any issues.

I think there is no way Tatsumi can fight her 1 v 1 for a sustained period of time. He did very well against her so far but he is still not her equal. He may have power but I doubt he can keep this up against her for long. Perhaps Tatsumi has a new trump card he will use or maybe just unaware of it currently.

I suppose "Who's gonna die next" and "Will Tatsumi return Esdeath's love" were pretty big mysteries.
Though considering we know the answers to both ("Lubo" and "No"), it's kind of spoiled.
Having continuing plot points doesn't make something a mystery series. Would you call DBZ a Mystery because someone might die? Or Naruto, based on who he'd end up with at the end? No, because they're action/adventure series. A mystery series is a crime/noir/detective/supernatural series with mysteries as the basis.

After deciding to catch up on the manga, will say this chapter was pretty darn good :). Tatsumi has finally hit a point that you can really be excited about. Hard to say if he can keep on fighting for long after getting Incursio to give everything it can, but for this chapter it was pretty awesome. Thankfully that adaptability lets him deal with the time freeze. But probably a good idea to get out of there before Esdeath unleashes another super move.
Just no way they can hold out against Esdeath and Budou. Although I still can't take Budou that seriously. He just sat around in that hole for quite a while before walking out and trying to impress. In this series not being dead is impressive, but that's all he's done so far.

Perhaps Tatsumi has a new trump card he will use or maybe just unaware of it currently.Yeah, even with the Incursio boost there is only so long he can hold out against Esdeath. Really the question should be more how they fight back while running away. Will have to see if Najenda has a plan beyond this point. Getting to Tatsumi and getting out is pretty well all they could hope for here.

You never know next chapter he might actually hit Esdeath, Leone is the weakest one there yet she managed to have enough speed to save Akame and Mine.
I gave up on logic ever since Jobber Wave beat Syura with power of friendship.

I guess in a manga anything goes. Even that which seem impossible and hopeless, whatever that may be.
After deciding to catch up on the manga, will say this chapter was pretty darn good :). Tatsumi has finally hit a point that you can really be excited about. Hard to say if he can keep on fighting for long after getting Incursio to give everything it can, but for this chapter it was pretty awesome. Thankfully that adaptability lets him deal with the time freeze. But probably a good idea to get out of there before Esdeath unleashes another super move.
Just no way they can hold out against Esdeath and Budou. Although I still can't take Budou that seriously. He just sat around in that hole for quite a while before walking out and trying to impress. In this series not being dead is impressive, but that's all he's done so far.

Hopefully they have a good plan to escape. Najenda might be creating a distraction while the rest keep the two generals occupied for as long as possible.

Yeah, I'm counting on Najenda for the escape plan. They knew going in that Esdeath and Budou would be there, so escape had to be planned into this. Not sure how Najenda could buy enough time in the state she's in, but could see her willing to make a sacrifice move to get the rest out of there.
Najenda will pull off a larger version of the anime's bomb the Colosseum.

Bomb the capital? :heh:

No bomb the country. :p:D
If it were not for the fact it came out earlier, I would have swore Takahiro was mocking the AGK anime with this chapter.

Western sales are meaningless. Yesterday there was annual results for manga sales of 2014 and only two titles of Square-Enix were in top 100 - Nozaki and Black Butler.

So, in the anime, tatsumi does not respond to mein's confession (more precisely, just like nothing has happened) then gets more intimate with akame?
I am sure it is Akame fans who are doing the anime and have held much grudge throughout. :D
I was thinking about picking anime again... but such "creative" choices as Akame x Tatsumi ship and killing second best girl is simply too stupid. One can muster only certain amount of supsension of disbilef and this far exceed that:heh:

That's an interesting thought.
But authors of manga that get anime adaptions get to advise and help to an extent.
I doubt they would do anything he didn't like.

they have literally ruined the anime and (subsequent) sales.
The second volume blu-ray of the anime has only less than 2000 initial sales, about half of the first volume, far below the generally considered line of zero profit.
I am quite sure the low quality of anime-only adaption has an impact.

what about the effect of anime original route?
Think of it as the bad end of a VN.

FMA first anime adaptation, I won't say more.

Its not like the author can just tell them how to end it, but he does give approval.
Most authors of manga or books, view anime or movies as a separate universe anyway.
