I don’t like Kurome, but I do like Wave and it’s a shame to see him fighting on the wrong side because he’s likely going to die protecting Kurome or something. Bolic is dead, Najenda’s plan went down as anticipated and there’s even some food porn! What more could I ask for in a single episode? The short sequence that showed Wave protecting Kurome is something that I hope gets expanded upon next week. There was actually quite a bit that transpires even outside Mine and Seryu’s fight. ![]() It’s not an episode that solely focused on a bunch of action. I thought it incorporated a lot of different aspects of anime that I like to see – action, some romance (better than none!), comedy and it advances the story along. The episode as a whole was probably one of my favorites of Akame ga Kill thus far. Also, I feel like they’re the typical character pairings that I like polar opposite couples that somehow find a way to be together. I’m not a huge shipper of Tatsumi and Mine yet… but given the little development between Tatsumi and anyone else, they’re the closest that I’m going to get in terms of any actual romance here. You can say that this is a prime example of death flags but this is one of the only moments in the entire show so far that I actually hope will live on past the series finale. She’s developed further along than I would’ve expected, especially when it comes to relationship-building (with Tatsumi) and achieving her goals of creating a better world to live in. Mine has really grown on me and she’s not just another annoying tsundare character like I anticipated. As soon as Sheele died, I thought Mine was going to be the next to go, but I’m glad I was wrong. When Akame ga Kill first went into Mine’s history and dedicated a whole episode towards her, I didn’t expect her to last this long. There was no way Mine was going to die given all that she had to go through. Definitely a great moment to savor and I didn’t even flinch when Seryu thought of sacrificing herself to kill Mine. I think the most epic scene to come out of it was seeing Mine slice Coro and Seryu in half (not to mention everything else around her!). The fight itself was fun to watch, although not nearly as heart-stopping as episode 6. I think Mine felt the same way because she knew Coro’s weaknesses and she knew what Seryu was capable of. ![]() No matter how many guns she pulls out of her ass arms, Seryu feels like a one-trick pony. She’s just crazy! I wasn’t surprised by Seryu’s tactics anymore. Mine put it very simply when she said that Seryu could not be saved with her distorted view of justice there’s just no way that someone like her could be reasoned with anymore. The amount of hatred that I have for Seryu has seemed to dwindle down a bit since she hasn’t really been the focus for a while, but as soon as I saw her wicked face, I just knew she had to die. I didn’t know how or when, but I knew that Seryu couldn’t go on living very long with the Jaegers dropping like flies. This had to be what I was looking forward to the most since episode 6. Starting with the showdown between Mine and Seryu… Pretty much everything that I expected to happen – happened. I feel so satisfied with the results of this week’s episode.
