The bigger problem is that the violence in the manga only escalates from here. If people are worried about how much censorship there is already, it's only going to become more ridiculous from here on out.

It's either that or recognizing Esdeath's popularity as I mentioned. The Anime team probably thought she was depicted too brutally in the manga.

Don't think it's the latter considering Takahiro supervises it and he wants her to be seen as brutal and evil.

It simply IS cause it's too graphic, I mean, HELLOOOO.

Yes, I recognize this point as I was the first to point it out.

But you can't discard the other possibility. Takahiro's vision for the Manga doesn't necessarily mean he doesn't have enough Anime sense to appeal to a different audience, nor does it mean the Anime team have no say in the matter.


There were scenes at the beginning of the Anime that was were just as brutal. All they did was remove the more violent parts and blurred out some.

the bad end for spear girl was brutal lol.

[jeroz]

You thought she going to be a recurrent character helping out NR?

To bad it's me Takahiro

[crunchytaco]

She was really cute in the Manga too. Like the hero of the north, Takahiro really likes to strip the good guys of their dignity.

[Kiltias]

Funny thing with Spear is that despite her death and very short appearance she still holds quite the special place among many readers.

Of course not as popular as the Main Cast, but still very popular nonetheless.
Myself included, I like how ruthless Takahiro is, but this is that one time I wish he wasn't.
I for one would have loved to see her fight at least, properly.
Very skilled Spear user and implied Martial Arts Expert (Anime didn't show that she was the disciple of the Imperial Fist's Master).

Man, fuck you Nyau.Yeah I'm mad.

In the alternative world where they group up together and be a classical JRPG party lineup, I would like to watch that

Gotta love how the episode was just one giant death flag for Bulat and am I the only one who doesn't care about Akame? Seriously, I see her and just don't care.

You're not alone. There's only two characters I really like at this moment, and one's probably about to die or will die soon and the others a sadist trying to find tru wuv..

I'm holding out faith that they're reserving Akame for a reason, and when she does become the central badass of the story I can say, "SEE I'VE ALWAYS BEEN A FAN!"

[Verrueckter]

By the way, I feel the need to clear this up since I seem to see a lot of anime viewers making this mistake. Nyau is male.

Its most likely that the scenes were too brutal.
They also cut the scene where that devil guy was walking around with the face of the girl he just skinned.

There's always little tidbits here and there that are censored, but the scene is still there.

The difference with Esdeath is this was an entire event that was cut out and made her into a family friendly sadist.

Her depraved sadism isn't just for shock value like these extras. It's a core personality of who she is. Cutting out these scenes is dumbing down her character a lot.

Indeed, hopefully this won't become too predictable, the shock factor was considerably reduced after Sheele, hopefully they'll have a "sike out" here and there, otherwise the deaths will lose a lot of weight.

Certainly a shame for how things turned out for the Spear girl. Certainly seemed like she could have turned out interesting. Though I suppose fault goes on her father for being insane enough to return to the capital with how things are. With his mindset they were bound to get killed sooner or later.

I guess it shows that Tatsumi had some impressive luck to survive to the point of getting recruited. Which I guess is fairly obvious since if that psycho family had been in a rush they could have put him in a bad spot within the first night. Now he has good allies and room to grow. Though that might not be enough to save him if he wasn't the MC .

The episode did feel like a massive Bulat death flag. That and Tatsumi flaunting his plot armor . He can make all the survival pledges he wants to Akame...he's probably good for them. Bulat's on weaker ground. His background is already out and he's got a pretty personal opponent there. Of course that doesn't necessarily mean death. Akame and Mine got their backstories out without having died yet.

It's too bad, too, because if she trained with a halberd instead of a spear she clearly would have won

halberds > spears

The Old man's heart was in the right place but as we have seen so far you need a tremendous amount of power and influence before even you even think about trying to change the capital from the inside.

[Kiltias]

I don't think it's like that completely.Sure you're right but there but I mean there is course more to it.

Spear was supposed to be very strong, but a major point simply is that you cannot hope to defeat Teigu users without having one yourself, that was the lesson in Tatsumi vs Zank.

Besides, it's the Sanjuushi, don't be fooled by Bulat making short dealing of Daidara, that's him being ridiculously strong, it's no shame for Spear to be losing to Esdeaths Subordinates.

I rather think it's tough luck they encountered those 3 of all people rather than Chouri's mindset.
