Relationships Filler Plot Akame also known as Akame of the Demon Sword Murasame, is the titular heroine, alongside Tatsumi, of the manga series Akame ga Kill!, as well as the main protagonist of the prequel manga Akame ga Kill! Zero. She also appears as a main supporting character in Hinowa ga Yuku!, mainly as Hinata's personal tutor of swordsmanship and Elder's Class combat tutor.

Originally sold to the Empire along with her sister Kurome to be trained as an assassin, Akame eventually defected to the rebels when she was sent to assassinate General Najenda, the leader of Night Raid and joined them to overthrow the corrupt monarchy.

Appearance Akame is a beautiful girl with red eyes. Her hair is long and black and reaches down to her knees.

Akame wears a dark sleeveless top with a white collar and a red tie; she wears a red belt that has a red side skirt cover over a black, pleated skirt. She wears it with long black socks and black shoes. She also wears red gauntlets and black gloves. She sometimes wears a long dark coat in battle. She is often seen carrying her Teigu, Murasame. After activating Murasame's trump card, she has faded red scars all over her body.

In Soukai, Akame wears a short, black yukata with a white sash outside wartime. During wartime, she wears her usual dark, sleeveless dress.

Personality Akame appears to be a very serious and cold-hearted person which stems from her hellish training that the Empire forced her and her sister through, but it is eventually revealed that she is just socially awkward. She cares about her comrades very much and she is always worried that one of them may not make it out alive due to her first-hand experience that war always has a high mortality rate. After Tatsumi fought Ogre, she stripped him of his clothes to check his body for wounds and Akame rushes to Mt. Kageboshi to aid Hinata who was about to be killed by Yomihime.

She also tends to hide her emotions when it is revealed that a comrade dies, such as seen with Sheele, making Tatsumi mistakenly and incorrectly assume that she deals with it easily, because she is used to it. However, this prompts her to break into tears saying that she can never be fine when she loses a friend, for it is the most horrible thing of which anyone can experience. She is then comforted by Tatsumi who resolves to not die and never let her experience such pain again, making her smile.

Upon facing her enemies, however, she shows absolutely no mercy towards them shouting words such as "eliminate" and "consign" to show the lack of mercy she has and also to strengthen her resolve to kill them. After donning Murasame's curse, she barely said such words.

Akame loves to eat and is surprisingly known to be a big eater (she usually prefers meat from Danger Beasts and fish), much like her sister Kurome. She is passionate about food to the point that Sheele noted how the "usually cool" Akame turned mad when she had burned some meat. Additionally, she is usually in charge of cooking the base's meals.

Akame is a person that refuses to take command and refuses promotion unless she was mandated to do so. She takes command of Elite Seven temporarily when Najasho is absent and she takes command of Night Raid's operations when Najenda is away to the Revolutionary Army's Headquarters because she was mandated to takes charge to do so. During her Campaign at Soukai, she refuses promotion to Captain and Ninja by Maruge since she can move freely as a Foot Soldier under Hinata's Command after Battle of Shiranui Fortress.

Equipment and Skills Physical Abilities Due to being raised and trained by Gozuki one of the Four Rakshasa Demons and one of the Empire's most deadliest assassin for the majority of her childhood, Akame has displayed several superhuman level physical attributes such as superhuman strength, speed, reflexes, senses and durability due to the rigorous training regiment Gozuki put her through that primarily involved training and raising her within the Danger Beast infested wilderness mountains that eventually lead to her current physical build and skill level.

Akame is often considered to be one of the strongest members of Night Raid, slaying even the strongest of enemies with minimal effort. Her hellish assassination training allows her combat prowess to be on par with those as powerful as the General rank within the military levels of the Empire, Esdeath herself acknowledging her strength. Akame is an extremely skilled master swordswoman, able to wield her Teigu Murasame with utmost dexterity and precision, able to slay numerous enemies, even highly skilled and powerful enemies with incredible ease.

She easily slayed Izou a fellow master swordsman in combat and would have killed Tatsumi, if not for the statue his chief villager gave him before embarking on his journey. At her full strength, Akame managed to hold her own against Esdeath, a tremendously powerful master swordswoman and ultimately killed her with a single precise thrust, plunging Murasame's shattered blade directly into Esdeath's heart.

Like her sister, for some unexplained reason, Akame seems to be able to consume large amounts of food without any adverse effects on her body. No matter how much she eats, she is somehow able to metabolize all the food she ate without becoming full or even remotely fat, quite possibly due to her high metabolism.

Akame possesses tremendous speed, agility and reflexes, being able to dodge and counter-attack with deadly results, and is also skilled in hand to hand combat. She also gives off no killing intent at all when she fights, making it difficult for the enemy to sense her presence. According to Wave, she can run at Mach 1 (velocity of sound in the airflow which is approximately 340 meters per second).

Like the other members of the Elite Seven, she is immune to most poisons.

Current Physical Abilities After being affected by Murasame's curse and her feeling the after effects of the pill, her body was stated to now feel heavy and sluggish and she could no longer be able to move like she once did. This is seen where Akame could no longer move and fight in the same speed, finesse and accuracy as she once did due to her body no longer being in its prime.

Despite the fact that she was afflicted by the curse that was slowly eating away her body and feeling the after effects of the doping pill, Akame has shown that she could still keep up with Hinata and Tobari during training despite the girl's own immense physical prowess and later Akame even showcased that even in her weakened state, she could still fight on equal ground against Yomihime of the Tenrou Nation's famed, Ten Stars to a stand still and force her to retreat both times in Shiranui Fortress and Mt, Kageboshi, however it was stated by her that she could not defeat her due to her body feeling to heavy to overpower her. Later she was still able to physically keep up with Hinata and Saiha underwater to stop Waniba's men from delaying Hisame during groom selection at Soukai.

She later receives 4 medicinal pills that can temporarily surpress her curse, allowing her to fight at full strength. With her current full strength using medicine, she was able to defeat Moegi with less resistance.

Hand-To-Hand Combatant Akame was trained by both Gozuki and Grand General Budo during her time as an Assassin within the Empire in Hand-to-Hand physical combat and later received further training under Leone and Bulat that further reinforced her skill level. This has made Akame incredibly dangerous and lethal even without Murasame and has shown to easily kill several enemy combatants without the need of a weapon.

Akame's own strength gives her the power of being completely skilled in combat. Her punches and kicks are extremely powerful and are enough to take down and slay numerous enemies, even highly skilled and powerful enemies with incredible ease.

Teigu Akame carried the Teigu, One-Cut Killer: Murasame, a katana known for being coated in an immensely deadly poison that could kill those cut by it within seconds, as the poison itself had no antidote. The Teigu's Trump Card, the ability to strengthen its user with the power of its poisonous curse for a short amount of time, was revealed during the final battles against the empire. It is revealed near the end of the manga that Murasame's poison could only target one life at a time; using this to her advantage, she killed Tyrant without hurting Tatsumi.

After Murasame is destroyed, Akame used The Complete Book of the World: Rongo Rongo when she traveled East. She later lost it in a storm at sea when her ship was ambushed by a Sea Danger Beast.

Shingu She was once equipped with the katana-based Shingu, Kiriichimonji before gaining her Teigu. It has the ability to create permanent wounds which cannot be healed or closed. Akame made use of this Shingu during the majority of her missions while working with the Empire, during which she managed to kill several powerful opponents using the Shingu, having successfully dispatched members and the leaders of the Sabatini Show,The Oarburgh Clan,The Gravekeepers,The Revolutionary Army and the Retribution Group before eventually losing it during her defection after successfully defeating her mentor and father figure,Gozuki.

Meihou Akame gains a new Meihou sword after she and Elder's Class hunt down Danger Beast on the shore after her first weapon is broken when fighting Yomihime during a battle at Mt. Kageboshi. She earns Meihou as a reward of saving Elder's Class from annihilation as the production cost will be covered by the Elder.

This weapon later proved to be much more durable than her previous sword during her battle against Yomihime, but unlike her previous weapons of choice, this particular Meihou possess no special abilities or features.

Other Abilities Due to being trained by Gozuki for a majority of her childhood in the mountain wilderness to be an assassin, Akame has displayed several miscellaneous skills that more or less contributes to abilities as an assassin.

Wilderness Survival Skills: Akame has repeatedly shown to be highly self sufficient and capable of surviving in the wilderness on her own. With Gozuki having taught her how to hunt and forage for food, identify poisonous plants, fish, cook, camping out in the wild and many other survival skills. Akame in particular was noted to be greatly talented in this field. Firearms: Akame was also trained on how to handle, clean and shoot basic firearms as part of her training and was stated to be sufficiently skilled on how to kill someone with a gun. Limited Medical Training: Akame was also taught on how to perform basic first aid when she or her teammates are injured during missions. Gifted Intelligence: Akame was also shown to be highly intelligent, analytical and cunning. Having been trained by Gozuki to be an assassin, in each and everyone one of her battles, Akame has shown to calmly analyzed her opponents and slowly acquired information how to effciently kill and dispatch her enemies the quickest way possible. In assassinations, Akame was noted to first observe her target and their surroundings prior to making her attempt on their life in order to ensure her success in killing them. Later, when traveling to Wakoku, Akame was noted to have successfully studied the language of the country using Rongo Rongo and had already gained enough literacy to fluently communicate with the natives in one sea voyage.
