Original subtitles

We three vow that when we die, we die together!

Yeah!

We're going to be successful in the capital and earn a lot of money!

We're going to save our poor village!

We said such things...

Now I'm all alone...

What are you doing all of a sudden?!

Have you made up your mind about joining us?

Like I said-

I think you have a talent for murder.

Talent isn't why I'm hesitating.

Something like murder...

At any rate, I'm introducing you to the others today!

My neck...

Kill the Authority Kill the Authority

He still hasn't decided to join us?

That's right.

Sheele, shower him with some warm words for me.

In the first place, now that you know the location of our hideout,

you'll be killed if you don't join us.

That's so warm it's making me tear up.

You should think it over carefully.

One hundred ways to fix air-headedness One hundred ways to fix air-headedness

One hundred ways to fix air-headedness.

So this really is a gathering of weirdos...

Ah!

Hey, Leone!

Why are you letting him into the hideout?

Because he's one of us.

I haven't given my approval yet!

W-What?

Not qualified!

It doesn't seem like he'll be able to work with highly skilled professionals like us,

judging by his face.

What did you say?!

Don't worry about it.

Mine treats everyone like that.

This is where we relieve our stress, the training grounds.

And the guy over there who clearly looks like he's reeking of sweat is Bulat.

Amazing!

What spear-handling!

Oh, the boy from before!

How do you know me?

Ah, you're seeing me like this for the first time.

I'm the guy who was clad in armour.

I'm Bulat.

Nice to meet you.

Likewise.

He's gay.

Hey, he'll misunderstand.

Right?

Deny it, please!

It's almost time for Leone-neesan's bath.

To see those breasts, I'll gladly ignore any danger!

Then...

Huh?

How about I break two fingers?

You never learn, Lubbo.

Damn!

I can still go on!

Your arm is next, then.

And so, this idiot is Lubbock.

Let's see, next is...

I've kinda had enough already.

The next one is a beautiful girl, so look forward to it!

Look, the one over there is Akame.

Isn't she cute?

How?!

Is that an evil bird she's eating?

She finished it off by herself?

She may look like that, but she grew up in the wild.

You should eat too, Leone.

Thank you.

Have you become one of us?

No.

That means I can't give you this meat yet.

I don't want it!

This girl tried to kill me twice.

I don't like her!

Still, aren't you being too extravagant today?

The boss is back.

Boss?

Boss!

Yo!

Welcome back.

Do you have any souvenirs?

Putting that aside, Leone,

it seems that you went over the operation time in the job three days ago.

Crap!

It's not good to enjoy fighting with strong enemies too much.

Fix that habit of yours.

I got it, so stop that creaking!

By the way, who is that boy?

Boss, I recommend this talented boy.

Hey, don't decide it by yourself!

Does he show promise?

He does.

Anyway, just give it a try!

Okay?

Is this a part-time job?!

Akame, gather everyone.

I want to hear the report, including the details about this boy.

I see.

I understand the whole situation.

Tatsumi, would you like to join Night Raid?

I'm dead if I refuse, right?

No, that won't happen.

But we can't just let you go either.

We'll have you work in our workshop.

Anyway, you won't die even if you refuse.

With that in mind, what's your answer?

I...

was planning to go to the capital, become successful...

and save my village, which is suffering from poverty.

But the capital is...

Tatsumi!

The countryside is suffering from poverty because the centre is rotten.

Don't you want to uproot the source of the rot?

As a man!

Bulat was originally a skilled imperial soldier.

However, he learned of the Empire's corruption and became one of us.

That's because our job is to eliminate the evildoers from the capital.

It's way better than working for those rotten people.

But killing the bad guys one by one won't change the world much, will it?

In the end, distant places like my village won't be saved.

I see.

In that case, Night Raid fits you even better.

H-How come?

Far south of the capital,

there's the hideout of an anti-imperial force, the Revolutionary Army.

Revolutionary Army?

Though it was small at the beginning,

the Revolutionary Army has now grown into a large organisation.

Inevitably, a new unit to handle covert jobs like espionage and assassinations was formed.

That's us, Night Raid.

We're only exterminating the capital's ticks for now.

But once the army steps in, we'll take advantage of the confusion...

and kill the source of this corruption,

the prime minister, with our own hands!

Kill him with our own hands...

When that time comes, this country will change for sure.

Will this new country treat the people well?

Of course!

I see!

Awesome!

So your current actions are limited to bad people to take out the scum.

It's what they call assassins of justice, isn't it?!

What?

What's so funny?

Tatsumi, no matter how you phrase it, what we're doing is murder!

There can be no justice in that.

Anyone here could receive their retribution and die at any moment.

Ah, so naïve.

It's a hundred years too early for this guy to become one of us.

Wait!

Huh?

I...

Each person has their own reason to fight,

but we're all prepared.

Are you, too?

I'll get compensated, right?

Yeah.

If you work properly, you'll be able to save your village.

Then I'll do it!

Let me join Night Raid!

You might be not able to return to your village with your head held high.

That's fine.

As long as everyone in the village can be happy through that.

It's decided.

Welcome to the path of carnage, Tatsumi.

Well then, tonight's meeting is over.

Akame.

You'll take care of Tatsumi's training.

If he becomes a burden, feel free to kill him.

Okay, got it.

You got it?!

Work hard so you don't get killed.

I have to team up with this girl?

To get a high position in the military, we need to raise our skills.

If we're knowledgeable about food,

we'll be able to survive even when we run out of provisions.

Sayo.

Ieyasu.

I'm glad I learned how to cook.

Aren't you done yet with my second serving?

Oh, for me too.

Me too.

Please.

I'm treated as nothing more than their cook!

Damn!

Even though I'm an assassin, all I do is cook day after day!

That's just how it is.

Since I'm in charge of cooking.

You're only in charge so you can eat the ingredients, right?

That's not true.

You're not convincing at all.

That outfit fits a newcomer like you the best, after all.

What?!

Yo, Tatsumi.

Bulat.

Eh, what?

Are you going somewhere?

Yeah, it's an urgent request.

Request? What about me?

The newcomer will stay at home!

Just keep chopping those cucumbers or whatever!

Why does she feel the need to be so overbearing?

See ya!

Wow, this place is beautiful.

Today we're going to eliminate the underwater prey.

Why are you panicking?

What the... You were wearing a swimsuit...

Our targets are large river tuna.

This is their location.

Aren't those fish very cautious and rare?

A fish explosion?!

Dive along the riverbed and erase your presence.

Attack the moment your prey comes close.

Commitment is essential.

Can you do it?

Bring it on!

So, in the end, Tatsumi only caught two fish...

So you threw off your clothes and yelled "Bring it on!"?

He still has a long way to go.

Damn!

I can never tell what she's thinking.

I don't like her, after all.

All right, Leone, let's hear your report.

Okay.

Our targets are Ogre from the imperial guard and...

Gamal, an oil merchant.

What the client told me was...

Ogre is getting a lot of bribes from the oil merchant Gamal.

Each time Gamal commits a crime,

Ogre fabricates lies to frame someone else.

My fiancé was also framed and sentenced to death.

Please!

Please help me clear this regret from my heart!

I got it.

We'll send them both to hell!

Thank you very much!

Thank you very much!

This is the payment for the job.

She gathered this much...

I smelled a venereal disease from her.

She must have been selling her body to earn this.

No way...

Did you check out her story?

I verified it with my own eyes and ears.

They're guilty.

All right.

Night Raid will accept this request.

We have no need for such scum in the new country.

We'll deliver divine punishment upon them.

Killing the merchant Gamal will be easy,

but Ogre is a formidable enemy.

Ogre the demon.

He's skilled with the sword, so even criminals are afraid of him.

He's usually accompanied by his subordinates, so he's rarely alone.

He's also very cautious.

He calls Gamal to his own room to get his bribes.

When he's off duty, he drinks on Main Street, close to the palace.

Seems like the only opportunity to strike is when he's off duty.

But the guard near the palace is strict.

It would be dangerous for someone like Akame, whose face they know.

Yes! Yes!

I'm not on any wanted posters!

Can you do it?

The stronger the enemy, the more I'm willing!

How about waiting for Mine and the others to return?

But we don't know when they'll return, do we?

Yeah.

In that case, let's just do it ourselves!

Oh?

Are you saying you'll defeat Ogre yourself?

Nice one!

You better take responsibility for your proposal!

As you are now, you stand no chance.

I'm skilled with the sword, too!

I'm saying that you can't kill people.

If it's about experience, then...

Back then, you swung your sword out of hatred.

Can you kill a person at any given time,

without a shred of hesitation?

While we're talking here,

there may be others being framed for crimes they didn't commit!

If that's the case, I'll do it!

The feeling of your most cherished person being cruelly taken away...

I don't want anyone else to experience it!

It's decided, isn't it?

Let's accept Tatsumi's decision.

Erase Ogre!

Well said, Tatsumi!

That's some nice determination!

Leone and Akame will take care of the oil merchant.

I got it.

Understood.

How about that, Akame?

I can do it too if I have to!

You can only boast about your mission after you've accomplished it and given your report.

Being so full of yourself at this point will only lead to your death.

Damn it!

I'm definitely going to succeed and make you acknowledge me!

This is Main Street.

You memorised the map, right?

Yeah.

I know it.

Being so full of yourself at this point will only lead to your death.

Tatsumi, this is a story about Akame's past.

When Akame was a child, the Empire bought her and her sister.

She and other children with similar circumstances were put into a program for assassins...

where they were trained to kill people.

She survived those hellish conditions.

Eventually, she emerged as the perfect assassin,

carrying out the Empire's orders.

But with each mission, she could feel more of the Empire's darkness.

The Boss, who was her target at the time,

persuaded her to defect from the Empire...

and join to the Revolutionary Army since they truly care about the people.

Most of her comrades she grew up with were already dead by that time.

Do you understand what I'm trying to say?

Compared to you professionals, an amateur like me is still wet behind his ears, right?

Well, you'll understand if you're successful today.

Now that I feel refreshed from the bathroom,

I might have another go.

Sure!

I'll give you another go, Gamal!

Two beauties at once, how lucky you are!

Well then, I wonder how Tatsumi is doing with the tougher target.

A drink sure hits the spot after a thorough interrogation.

Excuse me, Ogre-sama.

Huh?

There's something I'd like you to hear.

What is it?

Let's hear it.

Not in public like this...

I don't sense anyone else.

Hey kid, this place should be fine, right?

Right, yes.

Sayo, Ieyasu, lend me your strength.

I beg of you!

Please allow me to join the imperial guard!

I have to earn money so I can send it to my village!

I figured it would be something like this.

Apply through the normal process, idiot.

You see, the competition is too tough because of the recession.

There's nothing I can do.

You're simply too weak!

Fast!

He's determined and has no fear.

To think there was someone who'd oppose me like this...

I did it!

You can only boast about your mission after you've accomplished it and given your report.

Oh, that's right!

I have to hurry up and give my report.

Did you think that I, the great Ogre-sama,

could be killed by a damn brat like you?!

Well then, I assume you belong to the group that opposes the authorities, Night Raid, right?

The weak don't matter.

The strong are the absolute rulers of this city!

I'm the one passing judgement on people!

There's no way I'll be judged!

Stop spewing nonsense!

Who exactly hired you?

If it's recent, is it the fiancée of the guy I finished off the other day?

Bullseye, huh?

I knew I should have killed that woman too.

No, it's still not too late.

I'll find her, frame her entire family...

and have them all executed in front of her eyes!

After I finish you off, that is!

Wha-

They're all the same.

Abusing the power he's attained and exploiting it for personal gain.

I'll cut scum like you into pieces!

Good job on eliminating the tougher target.

Well done!

Yeah!

What now, Akame?

I've given my report and finished the mission.

And I somehow accomplished it without getting injured.

Now acknowledge me!

What?

What are you doing?

Leone, Boss, hold him.

No!

What? What?

Thank goodness.

I've seen comrades die from poison because they wanted to look tough and didn't report their wounds.

I'm glad you're unharmed.

First missions have a high mortality rate.

You did very well!

Yeah.

Akame was hard on you because she didn't want you to die.

Cooking improves the communication between comrades.

You learn about assassination through a difficult hunt.

Didn't you notice that all those things were beneficial to you?

Eh, really?

I'm sorry, Akame.

I misunderstood.

It's fine.

Keep coming back alive, Tatsumi.

Yeah.

Please take care of me from now on too, Akame.

What's she supposed to take care of while you're undressed?

You're the ones who stripped me!

Okay!

Next, do your best working under Mine.

It's one thing after another, isn't it?

Under her?!

I just got a chill for some reason.
