Top Ten Akame Ga Kill Characters

The Top Ten
1 Esdeath General Esdeath (simply known as Esdeath) is the secondary antagonist of the manga, Akame Ga Kill!, and the 2014 anime adaptation of the same name.

Just a polarizing character. She's far from one dimensional. Her dad raised her to fend for herself, and only view life as the strong above the weak. He wasn't nurturing, and her perception of the world was forever tainted. Until she met Tatsumi, would she begin to imagine sentiment, having never really grasped what it meant to lose a truly loved one (her dad forbidded her to lament his passing, and she was too young to really know her mother. Sadly, but also positively, she dies cradling the one person she loved, and was willing to fight for (she stated she wouldn't let anything happen to him, even when he was imprisoned, and I think she couldn't bring herself to torture him).

2 Akame Akame, also known as Akame of the Demon Sword Murasame, is the titular deuteragonist, alongside Tatsumi, and lead anti-heroine of the manga series Akame ga Kill!, as well as the main protagonist of the prequel manga Akame ga Kill! Zero.

She might not look like she cares but she does. Remember the time she pulled off Tatsumi's shirt? It's because she didn't want him to hide his injuries. She always hides her emotions and makes people think she's deals with it but it's because's she's used to it.

She was my favourite from the start. Such a badass killer she is still my no 1 swordsmen in all anime even though this anime is not at my top list. I literally enjoyed her every scene

I love Akame, I mean she is one of the few characters that actually has a great development. She reminds me of Blake Belladonna from RWBY.

3 Chelsea Chelsea was one of the two new members that joins Najenda's Night Raid branch, along with Susanoo. She later died in the line of duty.

She was the best character ever. I wish she had gotten to live a peaceful life with Tatsumi but she instead got the worst death in the entire series. I'm so sad every time I think about her and I can't get her off my mind. I love to think that she meets up with Tatsumi in the afterlife as it is implied that there is a afterlife in the series. I hate kurome and seryu for what they did to her. R.I.P Chelsea, you're the best.

I was sad when she died, having transitioned to be accepted by the team, but it made sense, as she took risks she wouldn't normally take.

4 Lubbock Lubbock was born into a rich family and could basically have whatever he wanted. However, instead he fakes his own death to join up with the notorious rebellion known as Night Raid. He's accepted into the group and given the imperials arms, Cross Tails. Cross tails is an incredibly strong string wrapped... read more

Lubbock is an amazing character. He was born into a rich family and could have whatever he wanted and yet he chose to fake his death and join Night Raid. He was the most relatable character and he was smart enough not to plunge into a fight he knew he would lose. Also, I liked the way he gained ideas on how to use his weapon by reading manga. I was so sad that he died, but he accepted his death and died with a smile. He was just trying to make the world a better place and he made the show. Also, I ship him with Tatsumi, but that's just my opinion.

5 Tatsumi

Just flat out funny. His one liners made the anime light hearted. I like his transition to being a more adept fighter.

I don't care! I am GLAD that Tatsumi is the protagonist and not Akame!

He didn't have to die he just sacrificed himself to save the people standing around

6 Mine

Honestly she's the best character. I love how tsundere she is and how she never gives up. "Like hell I'll lose" I love when she says that

7 Leone

Great upbeat character with the most tragic death. During a celebration of lights and a bright future, she died knowing she'd never see it, bleeding out in a dark alley way.

Leone is the most beautiful anime woman ever, hands down!

Just out of curiosity, do you think she'd be a good mother?

8 Kurome

Cute, had badass moments, her relationship with Wave is interesting and her manga counterpart has been developed pretty well.

Hate her don't think she should be on this list!

9 Bulat

At first he was attracted to Tatsumi, as was everyone else (I think because the kingdom didn't ruin his optimism). He transitions to being his older brother, and teaches him tough love when he needs it.

10 Najenda

How could you forget about the leader of Night Raid?

The Contenders
11 Sheele

She shouldn't have died. No, I mean it. When she fought with Seryu Ubiquitous she would've cut through her because her scissors can cut through anything, but somehow Seryu managed to block her attacks. She should've won.

Sheele may of been an airhead, but she was super nice and really strong. She was willing to sacrifice herself for her friends and in my mind that's what true bravery is.

My heart is still broken :'( she was so strong and she died because Mine could not do a thing. She sacrifice herself to save Mine and she was so kind to Tatsumi. She is wonderful, really.

12 Honest

He was the most composed. When his grandson died, he was sad for a second a gained his composure. A great character, he didn't have to die when he was just trying to help the emperor.

People must be insane to like Honest at all. The only good thing about him was when he said, "Oh well." And that's about it.

13 Wave

He really is like Tatsumi, the only major difference being that he fought on the other side and that he managed to survive till the end of the anime series.

One of the best characters. Sure he was an idiot but pretty strong and his personality and how did he stand for normal people as a soldier was so amazing. Glad he didn't died

He is a great character and he deeply cares about his comrades

14 Susanoo

The coolest this guy made me love Akame Ga Kill more than before

15 Seryu Ubiquitous

I love her character. Sure, she was a bit crazy but she had a reason for it.

Had a reason for being crazy, still a sweetie to her comrades and at least checked for civilians before essentially nuking Mine

My absolute favorite character she was an amazing grey character

16 Bols

I love this guy so much. He understands all the wrongs he did and is so humbled by his past mistakes he wants to help everyone, heck, even wants the enemy to join them, that's how much he wishes he didn't have to fight them. Such a tragic end, just makes me hate Chelsea more.

Just not the strong silent type, hence my high ranking. You can't always judge a book by its cover.

Good Character, Good dad, and Great personality.

17 Run

He has an imperial arms that is basically angel wings. He's cute, and he was against the corrupt capital and tried to change it without resorting to violence. He's a sweet guy.

18 Air

Her emotional strength at such a young age, and after enduring such traumatic events earn her a high rank in my book.

19 Liver
20 Aria
21 Emperor Makoto

Makoto, why does that sound so familiar... Oh wait, it sounds like Makoto Ito! Damn you, School Days!

22 Iokal
23 Hekatonkheires

Ridiculously OP and can regenerate.

24 Dr. Stylish
25 Najasho
