So glad that this series can end properly and not received the same fate as Bleach, Toriko, etc who got cancelled mercilessly. I’m stil pissed that Leone had to die like some vagrant on the street and refused to get some medical help (which is the part I hate from the anime-ending), but at least they executed it a little better in this. Also, I’m so freakin’ glad for Honest’s sllloooouuuww and painful death. His death was also gruesome in the anime (Leone repeatedly pound Honest’s face until his head turned to a bloody pulp) but it’s a little bit too quick for the worst sonuvabitch in the story. For that, the manga gave us one of the most satisfying gruesome comeuppance of the main villains ever. Awesome.

By default, manga-ending is better than the anime-ending because it’s simply has more content and fleshing out (though considering how much time the manga had compared to the anime, I expect nothing less). But when it comes to the big differences (eg. Tatsumi died vs. Tatsumi lived, Kurome died vs. Kurome lived, etc), I think both are equally good. Still, I could do without some filler-ish portion like the alchemist-girl that ended up adding almost nothing to the story aside from making Tatsumi spent one of his dragon-transformation quota and making Shikotaizer more monstrous than the anime (which is not really needed because they can always say that Shiko was that powerful from the beginning). Overall, it was a rather simple ending for a rather simple story which isn’t necessarily a negative thing. It’s still a very nice conclusion to everything that has been built up previously to the point that the mangaka didn’t forget to fulfill Tatsumi, Sayo & Ieyasu’s old promise to bring prosperity to their village. In short, I like this ending.

PS: where are those anime-haters who insisted that manga-Budo is still alive (not died one-shotted by Mein's blast like in the anime) and saying repeatedly that the Path of Peace will come at the climax of the revolution and played some big/major role? Not so confident with your argument now, huh?

They also bitched about Najenda not doing enough in the anime during the capital raid. Well, guess what? The manga also treated her the same

.

Kuroageha · 2017-01-09, 10:13

Well, weekly and monthly series get different treatment, I doubt this would have lasted being published on WSJ more than 2 months before getting axed.

About anime end vs manga end, I think I like both but I think the anime might be because no fucking Jeagers ruining everything.

Path of Peace was a joke and remained a joke, I never hide my amusement at those theories.
Budo is more of a jobber in the manga than the anime ironically, at least he died taking down one enemy in the manga just was hyped up more each chapter only to have that end.
I stopped caring about Najenda around the time Lubbock got offed by a fodder character.

Btw, type Green Kirito on Google along the series tittle and you get Lubbock

.

That aside manga gave a better end to this and even make readers want some more.

Blueknight78 · 2017-01-09, 10:43

man a really good ending for a gruesome manga, the author really know how to make us happy and sad at same time, my only complain here is akame ending, she ended basically "alone" with her curse, no love no peace no happy ending for her

, i'm not saying which she would have ended with the mc, but she could get a little more "love in her end" or some happiness, but well her end is more or less what i could expectat but still a very sad one.

another note poor mc guy, while he survived, now being a "monster which can't even "talk" will be a little pain in the ass, he is alive with his "loli" but how they can "do" something now:::

bestially???

i really don't see it as a "perfect happy ending for him or the loli, but not was a terrible one.

since i don't watched the anime due to many peoples complain about "how rushed and bad the anime was" i just sticked with the manga.

over a 8.0 - 10.0 - just because akame don't get a happy ending as she diserved(and more than anyone even more than the mc guy)

Kafriel · 2017-01-09, 10:43

It was a pretty decent ending, especially considering how the final arc turned out to be. So, what are the chances to get an Akame spin-off where she tries to heal her body and then finds herself in lethal situations?

wuhugm · 2017-01-09, 10:46

Can this be considered as "the main heroine (Akame) is not the winning girl?"

Well, the anime is overall good. If you want to see the characters & battles got (well) animated with good music too, you can watch the anime. Rather than super-rushed, the anime took a different route compared to the manga from episode 19 onwards (like in VN game).

Indeed. This is why this manga is somewhat brilliant when it comes to writing romance.

Ramero · 2017-01-09, 11:19

@Obelisk

Well at least we seen that Najenda respects their decision but those who expect that Najenda will backstab them was really wrong about Najenda themself. She really let them go when the time comes to depart and it feels good enough for her to let them do what they want.

For Leone, you see Akame's reaction when Leone hugged her. She was dead already because her body is as cold as ice meaning Leone is beyond help like Tatsumi while her Teigu only sustain her life for a little longer but at least it was worth enough to bring down Honest.
========================

Najenda let Wave and Kurome go since they come to help Revolutionary and defected from Jaegers in time and Najenda allows Wave to remain at Kurome's side to recover her minds from the haunted past. For the Jaegers, only Kurome and Wave that are spared because of their defection on final hours of revolution while Najenda also keep her word about Kurome from Akame.

Emperor have the dignity and honor until the end without a disgrace even the revolutionary will not cuff him to the day of execution despite he was imprisoned. I'm more impressed to see the Emperor remain to have his dignity and held his head high till the end though.

Honest's execution was more brutal and gruesome and yes, a part of his body can deserve as a reward for his bounty but still i wonder how much is bounty that Honest possess?

For Akame, she got what she deserved anyway to feel the curse of Murasame for the first time and she have to find the origin of Murasame itself alone. Knowing that her comrades already worn out and some are even broken like Wave, Kurome and Tatsumi, she know that she can't drag them longer to this case as she have to do it by her own. Tatsumi and Mine have to retire to recuperate their morale and minds while Tatsumi have to adjust his life as a dragon and so are Wave and Kurome as well. Akame want Kurome to be cured so it's natural for Kurome and Wave to retire this way and Najenda respect their decision and let them go.

Final chapter i give my rate 10/10

AB079 · 2017-01-09, 11:27

And finally the trainwreck ended.

I used to have fun reading this at the beginning but then everything turned out to be a huge freaking joke, the good thing is the last part of the manga went back to the good times and I must say the last fights were pretty good.

As for how all the characters ended after the last fight, Akame was predictable, Mine and Tatsumi... what the hell they have kids??? I mean yeah we know the first one was before the last battle but now that Tatsumi is a dragon... the doujin writes itself. It was a happy ending for most of the characters, poor Leone tho, she was a good one.

The story itself was decent enough to keep me interested but I must say sometimes I just laugh at how bad and ridiculous was, there are lot of jobbers and characters that were keept in the dark like Najenda. Overall I give this a 6/10, it was okay but it could be much better.

GLDarkLord · 2017-01-09, 11:39

Akame is lonely yet again at the end.....

sigh.....wasted character main heroine who was almost forgotten from her creator.
Leone Death was just for the sake of being tragic. Because if she survive , she will be the most happiest character without any burdens or consequences from the last battle. Probably going party everyday on every bars.
But at last no true happy ending, so she need to die.

It's not a sudden switch. Akame's POV has steadily become more prominent since around chapter 60.

Hoodspirit · 2017-01-09, 12:45

The ending was better than most Manga's get, so overall I'm glad with it.
I only wish there could have been a few more details, as I am left confused by the time line.

It would have been better to state whether Mine was pregnant with multiple children from the start of if she got more later on. In my interpretation they were more later on when Tatsumi returned to be a human. If he stayed as a real dragon he would probably have lived way longer.

Looks like Leone was already dead, so her way of chosing to party rather than dieing in a hospital is understandable.

Najenda seemed to have more years left than I thought she would have if she was willing to adopt a child. Good for her.

Kurome and Wave ending was good too, for however long that lasted, but it seemed to be quite some time judging from all the long time words used in that passage.

Now is the main point, Akame's ending. To me it looks like she became an unaging immortal cursed being. Her reason to pick up the sword again was to protect the happy endings of the others. With the task gone it implies that they all died by now (that's why Tatsumi most likely changed back to die like a normal human). In the constructed "flashback" only the seven 'survivers' (Leone technically counts too as she saw the end end of the fight) of the last battle were there. Not the friends from before like in the usual flashbacks. And now they are all gone with Akame saying "I have survived".
That would also make her tears more dramatic. If she was just on a normal journey she could have returned to them, but there is nothing to return to anymore. The last sentence pretty much confirms that as she has to look for a new road to take.

It sounds like a stretch at first, but assuming the others are still alive there would be too many contradictions with Akamae's ending.

Grand-Chariot-Wave · 2017-01-09, 13:17

Apparently two epilogue chapters are coming however don't quote me on that.

You're saying all that as if people were saying that stuff as facts.

Wandering Soul · 2017-01-09, 17:10

Overall that was a great ending. The PM got what he deserved and just about every other character got an ending that fit them. I prefer this ending to the anime ending.

This series could no doubt be ridiculous and even needlessly edgy at times, but I'm glad I saw this through to the end.

up next

Rurouni Kenshin Akame

so whose sword does akame have with her now?

Not really. But those people wanted to believe it so hard as if it's a fact just to spite the anime. Well, now they're proven to be flat-out wrong. That's all that matters. Now, I can laugh at them. Heck, I've been laughing at them since Shikotaizer appeared in the manga. No, scratch that, ever since Budo got ridiculed by Mein's Pumpkin twice in the manga

We know you enjoy any chance you get to gloat over the idea that, at times, the manga can be as bad as the anime. You've been anything but subtle about your grudge.

If you insist to claim that I have a grudge, let’s just say that my grudge is not with Akame ga Kill (manga or anime), but with the double-standard and people who apply them for negative purposes in the fandom.

And I don’t intend to be subtle at all when pointing the bad things in the manga/anime and people’s double-standards. Double-standard is mostly a bad thing and a bad manner in society and the same is applied here. Some truths need to be voiced. Also, the salt from people who apply double-standard is delicious, just like the tears from people who are caught red-handed from doing crimes

.

And my comparison is not driven by grudge. The manga chapters continuously gave me materials to compare right until the ending because it only shyly differs from the anime. If the manga took a totally different story (which is what I wanted), I will automatically stop comparing and just enjoy the ride like I did with FMA first series & Arpeggio: Ars Nova that took totally different route from their mangas and become their own enjoyable things. One example: nobody asked the manga to go giant-teigu route like in the anime, but it followed it anyway ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The author basically sidelining the MC is one of the oddest things about this series. I honestly wonder if maybe his editors forced him to make Tatsumi the MC instead of Akame or something....

well i can see it since "shounen and seinen" series, with more shounen archtype style are a norm the mc being a "male" to help the readers can put themselfs in his place, then if akame was the mc from the beginner this could not worked well in this side to the fans which like the more normal shounen archtype with a male mc, then he probably put the guy as the mc to attract many readers as possible also throwing a lot of "cliche things like harems, hot girls and everything to attract many peoples as possible to later as he start to make his own style and "peoples start to drop" to not like the or too much dark or too much "cute girls dying" or the male mc not being more important as before and be sure to have enough fans and things like that, while some shounens and seinens can have "girls" as main characters and don't focus on males mcs this still a "risk thing" and most of the otakus would rater prefer a "male mc" or if in girls case a very "cute girls or yuri style", what the author dind't wanted.
