Plot
Tatsumi
is a fighter who, accompanied by his two childhood friends, sets off
to the Capital in search of a way to make money to assist his
poverty-stricken village. After being separated from his friends,
Tatsumi not only fails to enlist in the army, but is swindled out of
all his money. He is then taken in by a noble family who offer him
help, but intend to torture and kill him, just like they did with his
friends and dozens of other people. Tatsumi is rescued by a group of
assassins known as Night Raid, and is invited to join their ranks.
Composed of the swordswoman Akame, a young woman armed with a huge
pair of scissors named Sheele, the string manipulator Lubbock, the
armored warrior Bulat, the sniper Mine, the beast fighter Leone and
their leader Najenda, a former general of the imperial army, Night
Raid is also part of the revolutionary forces assembled to overthrow
Prime Minister Honest, who manipulates the young emperor for his and
his men's personal gain, leading the rest of the nation to poverty
and strife.
Each
member of Night Raid carries one of the "Imperial
Arms" (帝具 Teigu?),
items created via alchemy and parts of the supernatural Danger Beasts
over 900 years ago. Forty-eight of these items were created and about
half of them have been lost to history. These items range from
weapons like swords and firearms to more utilitarian items including
a cosmetic box and armor, and even organic beings such as a
shape-shifting dog and a powerful warrior. The Imperial Arms cannot
be used by just anyone, as their users must be compatible with them
or risk death. The power of most Imperial Arms is so overwhelming
that it is said that when two Imperial Arm users fight each other,
one is bound to die. Tatsumi and his new friends successfully
assassinate some of Honest's most trusted cohorts, while losing
Scheele and Bulat to the enemy forces, with Tatsumi inheriting
Bulat's Imperial Arm. This leads the Prime Minister to enlist the
help of General Esdeath, considered to be the most powerful fighter
in the Empire, who assembles her own team of Imperial Arms-wielding
assassins, the "Jaegars", to hunt down Night Raid, who
gains two new members, the Human-like Imperial Arm Susanoo and the
master of disguise Chelsea.
After
Night Raid defeats most of the Jaegars while losing Chelsea and
Susanoo and the revolution gains momentum, Honest forms a new secret
police force, the "Wild Hunt", led by his own son, Syura.
However, the Wild Hunt heavily abuses its authority by killing
innocent civilians for fun, making enemies of both the Jaegars and
Night Raid. After a confrontation between Wild Hunt and the Jaegers,
with casualties from both sides, Esdeath is able to blackmail Honest
into disbanding the rest of Wild Hunt while Syura is killed by
Lubbock after he captures both him and Tatsumi. Lubbock is killed
while attempting to escape, and Tatsumi is sentenced to a public
execution, but the remaining members of Night Raid attack the
execution site to rescue him.
