History Characters / AkameGaKillTheEmpire

* TheBrute: Unlike Esdeath that uses her powers in very creative ways, Budo cares very little for strategy and tries to finnish off his foes.

* HeroKiller: [[spoiler:In the manga, the [[BeamOWar collision of beams]] between him and Mine ends with him being blasted off to an unknown place and Mine in a coma. However, in the anime, the clash ends with Budo being incinerated by Pumpkin's blast and with Mine's death due the impact of Adramelech lightning.]]

* BonusBoss: Appears in a bonus chapter in volume 5 of the manga that has no relation to the main story and does not have to be read for the sake of understanding the main story.

* BonusBoss: Appears in a bonus chapter that is only available in a special volume packaged with the first Japanese DVD/Blu-ray. Reading this chapter is completely optional and Gensei himself has hardly any importance to the main story. [[spoiler: In fact him and the White Browns Association are the only villains with no affiliation to TheEmpire and were only targeted by Night Raid as a request from the Revolutionary Army due to their actions still disturbing the peace.]]

->'''Voiced by:''' Yo Taichi (Japanese), Creator/ShannonEmerick (English), Lucia Suárez (Latin American Spanish)

* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: The highest ranking general and one of the series' strongest antagonists.

* HateSink: Aria and her parents are seemingly kind nobles who lure commoners into their home to butcher them. An early representation of the Empire's elite being given free rein to torment their lessers, their sickening handiwork being seen in the countless bodies of tortured travelers they keep in their estate.

* DarkSkinnedBlonde: Her hair is retconned to be blond instead of white in the Anime.

* EstablishingCharacterMoment: [[VisualPun Walks out]] from [[TheManBehindTheMan behind]] The Emperor after The Emperor sentenced an innocent man to death casually and then supports said decision while [[VillainousGlutton engorging himself with food]]. When the man tries to convince The Emperor that he’s being manipulated, he puts on a kind face and successfully convinces the latter otherwise. What marks him being a complete and utter bastard is telling the condemned man that he’ll make sure to take care of his wife, ''every single part of her''.

* BadassNormal: ** Despite not having a Teigu, they are capable of fighting on par with Teigu users thanks to their physical abilities. That being said, they are able to use their bodies in manners that hardly classify as 'normal'.

->'''Voiced by:''' Aina Suzuki (Japanese), Creator/MaggieFlecknoe (English), Agostina Longo (Latin American Spanish)

* HumiliationConga: Later on, he loses to Wave in a fist fight, [[BerserkButton gets criticized by his dad for it]]. Then he loses [[spoiler: several members of his unit]], [[BerserkButton gets criticized by his dad for it]]. [[spoiler:Despite catching two members of Night Raid,]] Esdeath humiliates him by [[spoiler:proving that he was responsible for an incident that endangered the empire and getting what remained of Wild Hunt disbanded]]. He [[BerserkButton gets criticized by his dad for it]], and finally [[spoiler:gets killed by Lubbock when he pretends to have been broken by his torture]]. [[KickTheSonOfABitch The fans enjoyed those few chapters immensely.]] Finally, [[spoiler:after Honest (the father he [[WellDoneSonGuy worked so hard to please]]) hears about the death of his son, he proceeds to weep for him... for '''one whole page'''. He gets over it in seconds, stating he'll "make another son from scratch." And his very last thoughts regarding Syura are to curse his son for getting his teigu destroyed, leaving Honest without an effective means of escape when he makes a futile attempt to flee from the victorious rebels. Even after death the humiliation continues.]]

* KickTheSonOfABitch: People ''loved'' his HumiliationConga.

* KarmicDeath: At the end of the series, [[spoiler:he is mercilessly killed by the rebels]]. He enjoys subjecting his victims to extremely brutal deaths, [[spoiler:thus it seems only natural that his own death is incredibly gruesome]]. What's even better is that [[spoiler:he was defeated by Leone, who was told to die on the ground]].

* KarmicDeath: While each of them has their share of heinous crimes, [[spoiler:Saikyuu is the most prominent as he's killed by Akame, an assassin from the program he created]].

* SmugSnake: Honest fancies himself as a charismatic genius, but he's not as great as he thinks. More so in the anime, in which he is so heavily reliant on Esdeath and [[spoiler:the ultimate teigu]] that when both factors are removed, he has absolutely ''nothing'' left and is [[spoiler:swiftly killed by Leone]]. In the manga, he's shown to be more dangerous, [[spoiler:such as pulling a GrandTheftMe on Makoto and being a decent fighter in his own right]], but when the situation backfires spectacularly, he runs for his life, [[spoiler:and squeals for mercy as Leone prepares to give him his JustDesserts]].

* WouldHurtAChild: [[spoiler:Ends up being on the receiving end of this at the end of the series. Despite his age and the fact that he was mostly tricked into performing his heinous actions, the rebel army still treats his crimes as worthy of death. Not to mention that when he was piloting [[HumongousMecha Shikoutazer]] it's very likely he killed several kids his own age in his fight.]]

* BeardOfEvil: He has a white beard, which he often strokes while pondering his evi
l deeds.

* WalkingSpoiler: The existence of an Ultimate Teigu is a spoiler in of itself especially when you consider all of the {{Foreshadowing}}. Taken UpToEleven in the anime where its biggest contribution is that [[spoiler: it results in the death of Tatsumi.]]

[[folder:Zanku the Beheader]]

* TheExecutioner: Zanku the Beheader started as an Imperial executioner, and became a SerialKiller after going crazy from the guilt of killing so many people.

* HoistByHisOwnPetard: He uses the illusion ability from Spectator to make Akame see her most beloved person and take her out of guard enough time to kill her. Unfortunately for him, since the person Akame loves the most is Kurome (whom she wants to kill to release her from her suffering), this only makes her more willing to fight, defeating Zanku shortly after that.

* MotorMouth: Zanku does ''not'' stop talking. Even when in the midst of combat he never takes a minute to cease conversation, even between attacks. He intentionally [[InvokedTrope invokes]] this because in his mind, [[HearingVoices the voices in his head]] quiet down [[JustifiedTrope whenever he speaks]].

* PowerPerversionPotential: Zanku's "Spectator" Teigu had multiple abilities related to sight, but there was one he never mentioned to Tatsumi and Akame. [[spoiler: When Tatsumi used Spectator, that hidden ability was the ability to see through people's clothes.]]
* RequiredSecondaryPowers: Had Zanku's body been in top physical condition, he would have been able to keep up with the CombatClairvoyance that Spectator granted and would have been a ''much'' larger threat.
* SanitySlippage: After delivering numerous executions of various innocent people who were sentenced to death by the Prime Minister, Zanku eventually went mad from the immense guilt brought on by the many innocent pleas of his victims.

* SuperpowerLottery: His Teigu, Spectator, is among the most versatile Teigu in the story. It grants Zanku ''five'' abilities that when properly used in conjunction allows him to fight on par with ''Akame''. In the hands of a much more experienced combatant, it would have been a complete StoryBreakerPower.

* BeardOfEvil: He has a white beard, which he often strokes while pondering his evil deeds.

* EstablishingCharacterMoment: [[VisualPun Walks out]] from [[TheManBehindTheMan behind]] The Emperor after The Emperor sentenced an innocent man to death casually and then supports said decision while [[VillainousGlutton engorging himself with food]]. When the man tries to convince The Emperor that he’s being manipulated, he puts on a kind face and successfully convinces the latter otherwise. What marks him being a complete and utter bastard is telling the condemned man that he’ll make sure to take care of his wife, ''every single part of her''.

* KillTheCutie: Spear, despite having a solid one minute screen time, is quickly shown to be a cute young woman who is a generally good person and loves her father so much that she takes up arms to protect and has unfortunately trouble with finding the right man for her strong personality, much to her embarrassment. She then immediately fails to protect her father from the Three Beasts and to add insult to injury, she dies from the shock from having her face skinned off...

!!!!Other Military Commanders

Due to the AnyoneCanDie nature of this series, '''beware of spoilers below.'''

* MistreatmentInducedBetrayal: His own soldiers abandoned him after he got pretty trigger happy with his supreme teigu. Given how too far gone and as big of an [[{{JerkAss}} asshole he was,]] [[LaserGuidedKarma he honestly deserved it]].

* AdaptationalWimp: While the series plays up Esdeath being his DragonInChief, ultimately in the manga it's proven that he's [[TheBrute even stronger than his son Syura.]] The anime version [[DirtyCoward on the]] [[NonActionBigBad other hand]]...

* EstablishingCharacterMoment: [[VisualPun Walks out]] [[ManBehindTheMan from behind]] The Emperor after The Emperor sentenced an innocent man to death casually and then supports said decision while [[VillainousGlutton engorging himself with food]]. When the man tries to convince The Emperor that he’s being manipulated, he puts on a kind face and successfully convinces the latter otherwise. What marks him being a complete and utter bastard is telling the condemned man that he’ll make sure to take care of his wife, ''every single part of her''.

* MutilationConga: [[spoiler:He suffers a well-deserved one during the final chapter. First, a not so dead Leone kicks him in the back so hard it breaks his spine, rendering him immobile; then she punches a hole through his bloated belly; then she tosses him off the palace balcony, with his impact leaving a small crater in the ground; and finally, the rebels tie him down and slowly dismember him, one piece of flesh at a time.]]

* InspectorOblivious: Greatly Subverted, as surprisingly perceptive as he is it never occurred to him that if he offed [[ManBehindTheMan Honest and Esdeath]] earlier on before things [[FromBadToWorse got as hellish as they did]]. Then there wouldn't need to be a revolutionary army in the first place.

* HumiliationConga:
** Later on, he loses to Wave in a fist fight, [[BerserkButton gets criticized by his dad for it]], then he loses [[spoiler: several members of his unit]], [[BerserkButton gets criticized by his dad for it]], [[spoiler: despite catching two members of Night Raid,]] Esdeath humiliates him by [[spoiler: proving that he was responsible for an incident that endangered the empire and getting what remained of Wild Hunt disbanded]], [[BerserkButton gets criticized by his dad for it]], and finally [[spoiler: gets killed by Lubbock when he pretends to have been broken by his torture.]] [[KickTheSonOfABitch The fans enjoyed those few chapters immensely.]]
** And to top it all off, [[spoiler:after Honest (the father he worked so hard to please) hears about the death of his son, he proceeds to weep for him... for '''one whole page'''. He gets over it in seconds, pretty much stating that he'll "make another son from scratch." And his very last thoughts regarding Syura are to curse his son for getting his teigu destroyed, leaving Honest without an effective means of escape when he makes a futile attempt to flee from the victorious rebels. Even after death the humiliation continues.]]
* {{Jerkass}}: Oh boy, is he is one. He commits many acts of cruelty for the most insignificant reason, raping women, [[spoiler: including Bol's wife,]] [[SmugSnake looks down his allies and enemies alike]] because he is the son of the Prime Minister (his card to do anything he want) and even despise her own men because they lose to Night Raid. Of all the cast of the series, he is one of the biggest dicks.

* ScrewTheRulesIHaveConnections: He tends to instill fear in his enemies by stating his relation to the Prime Minister, which causes them to halt their attacks. [[{{Hypocrite}} He then calls them out for being cowards.]] [[spoiler:[[UnstoppableRage Not that this matters to Wave.]]]]

!!! Teigu:Shambhala

* RichBitch: Basically imagine an even '''worse''' version of Aria.

* BadassNormal: In her first encounter with Tatsumi [[CharlesAtlasSuperpower she was actually able to best him in hand-to-hand combat]] while he was donning his Incursio Armor. Suzuka has survived both having a ruin toppled over her and torture at the hands of [[WorldsStrongestMan Esdeath.]] Perhaps most impressive, in a series where no one is safe, she's outlasted the Four Demons, Wild Hunt, and the Jaegers as a reccurring antagonist. Even more surprising, [[spoiler: despite not having a HeelFaceTurn and remain being an antagonist till the end, she ended alive and happy, taking one of Esdeath hands with her.]]

* RichBitch: She comes from a wealthy family who enjoys to lure poor people into their home to then torture them for fun.

* MotorMouth: Zanku does ''not'' stop talking. Even when in the midst of combat he never takes a minute to cease conversation, even between attacks. He intentionally [[InvokedTrope invokes]] this because in his mind, [[HearingVoices the voices in his head]] [[JustifiedTrope quiet down whenever he speaks]].

* IllBoy: The nobles that tortured him infected him with the Lubora disease, an incurable virus that slowly kills its victim.

* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: His hair is greenish blue.

* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: His hair is lavender.

Captain of the Capital guards, Ogre is a evil individual who takes bribes from criminals such as Gamal, a crooked oil merchant, and uses his authority to frame people from the crimes that Gamal commits. After his last victim overhears the dealings between Gamal and Ogre he sends a letter to his wife before his execution to inform her of their crimes and she in turn requests the Night Raid to end both Gamal and Ogre for their transgressions.
