Line #25 Trivia/AkameGaKill


1	* ActingForTwo: Creator/RisaMizuno voices both Najenda and Coro. Averted in the English dub, however, where both are portrayed by different voice actresses.
2	* ActorAllusion:
3	** Bulat, voiced by Creator/KatsuyukiKonishi, has a character call him "Bro"/"aniki", just like [[Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann Kamina]]. [[spoiler: He also dies in the same episode number Kamina did, doing nearly the exact same thing too.]]
4	** Sheele, voiced by Creator/MamikoNoto, is a quiet, reserved, scissors-wielding girl, just like [[VisualNovel/{{Clannad}} Kotomi]]. [[spoiler: After she dies, Akame prepares some dango as an offering in her memory.]]
5	** Budo is a ShoutOut to the series Anime/ArmoredTrooperVotoms. In the anime his voice actor is Creator/HozumiGouda.
6	** Leone, voiced by Allison Keith in the dub, is a sexy HardDrinkingPartyGirl, much like [[Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion Misato]].
7	* AnimeFirst: Not the adaptation itself but rather [[spoiler: Shikoutazer, the Ultimate Teigu appeared in the anime before its appearance in the manga.]]
8	* CrossDressingVoices: Both the Emperor and Nyau have female voice actors in the Japanese version. Averted with Nyau in the English version since he is voiced by male voice actor Creator/ClintBickham.
9	* DuelingShows:
10	** With ''Anime/KillLaKill'' and ''Manga/TokyoGhoul''.
11	** With ''Manga/{{Parasyte}}'' in the States since both shows are licensed by Creator/SentaiFilmworks and aired on Creator/{{Toonami}}.
12	* GodNeverSaidThat: In early 2015 a fan asked Sentai Filmworks if they were dubbing ''Akame ga Kill'' on Twitter. They replied with "yes" which immediately caused many to assume that they were dubbing the show. After this caught wind Sentai Filmworks came out and said that their answer was only confirming their license of the show and not a confirmation for a dub. Even though the fan's question mentioned an English dub the way the question was worded caused Sentai to interpret it as asking about their license rather than a dub. That said, the series ''did'' get a dub, so those who though it would happen were RightForTheWrongReasons.
13	* HeAlsoDid: This series is created by Minato-Soft's very own Takahiro, who has made ''VisualNovel/MajikoiLoveMeSeriously'', its sequels and spin-off fandisks; ''Anime/GirlsBeyondTheWasteland'', and ''VisualNovel/TheyAreMyNobleMasters''.
14	* InternationalCoproduction: Just like other Creator/SentaiFilmworks' Spanish dubs, the Latin American Spanish dub was done between Chile and Argentina, with voice actors from both countries.
15	* MarthDebutedInSmashBros:
16	** The United States release of the manga has generated some examples of this trope. Each of the manga volumes features an omake segment at the end involving a small crossover with another Gangan Joker manga. At the time of this writing none of the manga featured in the omake segments have been licensed in the United States but ''Manga/GugureKokkuriSan'' and ''Manga/DuskMaidenOfAmnesia'' had their anime adaptations licensed in the United States. However since ''My Home is a Bookstore!'' and ''Zombie-Bitch Sakina is in Bitch-Girl?'' never got anime adaptations nor localized releases of the manga the Western release of the ''Akame ga Kill!'' manga marks the debut of Miyu Nakzawa and Sakina Nikaidou in the United States.
17	** An in-series example. Gozuki and the Leader of the Group of Terror appear in a flashback in episode 17 of the anime adaptation. Seeing as how the ''Akame ga Kill! Zero'' manga wasn't released internationally until 2016 the first appearance of these characters outside of Japan was while the anime was being simulcast.
18	* PlayingAgainstType:
19	** Creator/KanaHanazawa, famous for doing the voices of sweet girls or heroic {{Action Girl}}s, gives voice in this series to Seryu Ubiquitous, an {{ax crazy}} [[CuteandPsycho cute but twisted girl]] who has a dark vision of the justice and prone to make crazed faces while shouting about killing evil doers. Although Hanazawa had voiced in the past crazed or antagonistic characters, like Nadeko Sengoku from ''Literature/{{Bakemonogatari}}'' or [[Manga/TokyoGhoul Rize Kamishiro]], she never had voiced a truly crazy character before. And hell if she nails Seryu's crazy parts.
20	** While Creator/HitomiNabatame has voiced [[Literature/HighSchoolDXD villains]] before, she usually sticks to female characters in their late teens or adult years that fit the MsFanservice trope. Here however she is Nyau.... [[DudeLooksLikeALady who is a boy!]]
21	* StarMakingRole:
22	** In the Japanese version, Akame for Creator/SoraAmamiya alongside [[Manga/TokyoGhoul Touka Kirishima]] and [[Anime/AldnoahZero Asseylum vers Allusia]], and Tatsumi for Creator/SomaSaito alongside [[Anime/TerrorInResonance Twelve]]. Since ''Akame ga Kill'' aired the same season as those shows, it helped the two newcomer voice actors establish popularity among the fandom.
23	** Similarly in the English dub Akame was this for Creator/MollySearcy and Tatsumi was this for Creator/CoreyHartzog. Both had voiced roles for Creator/SentaiFilmworks before (alongside of [[Manga/GirlsUndPanzer lead]] [[Anime/GatchamanCrowds characters]] before) but this was the first time both voice actors had voice leading characters in a widely popular anime and one that aired on Creator/{{Toonami}} nonetheless. Additionally Mine was this for Christina Kelly who had just started working at Sentai Filmworks the same year ''Akame ga Kill!'' aired on Toonami with Mine being her first leading role in an anime dub.
24	* WhatCouldHaveBeen:
25	** Takahiro was planning on making Akame ga Kill into an adult Visual Novel at first before he decided to turn it into a manga instead. A lot of the more "video game-ish" elements of the story, and the constant use of RPG tropes, seem to be leftovers from this phase.
26	** Leone's [[http://static.fjcdn.com/pictures/Anime_2d49cb_5450487.jpg original design]] was very different from her current one. She sported shorter bangs, was meant to have brown hair instead of blonde hair, had longer claws in her Teigu form, had a more human-like appearance as opposed to her feline-like appearance, and wore a different outfit.
