He appears troublesome at first even causing Leone to withdraw and chase after the other assassination targets. Before the final battle had begun Najenda mentioned that there is a possibility one of his followers could have a Teigu and that this one in particular was connected to the assassination squads lead by Gozuki and the Group of Terror Leader. In chapter 70, Akame and Leone face off against one of Honest's followers who is in possession of a Teigu.Ultimately, the fight ends with Wave putting a stop to it and convincing Kurome to leave the Empire with him. Not only that, many fans felt that the fight was really one-sided with Akame holding the advantage for the majority of fight and was able to one-shot all of Kurome's puppets, including Run. Despite the fact that this fight had an entire series worth of build up, it only really just lasted for 2 chapters, with most of it being put Out of Focus during the second chapter, in favor of Wave's fight with Tatsumi. For many, Kurome can be considered this during her final battle with Akame.They were hyped as the Jaegers' substitutes and as hard opponents for Night Raid, but they received very cheap deaths Champ and Enshin died with ease in the same chapter in their first serious battle onscreen, Syura dies by a cheap trick, Izou is dispatched in seconds by Akame, and Cosmina was killed by Tatsumi without many problems. Wild Hunt in general (except arguably Dorothea) is this.Holimace: Despite having some build-up as a user of a scythe-like teigu, as well as being Bolic's bodyguard, he was quickly defeated by Akame before he even got a chance to show off what his teigu can do.Is he a well-meaning father, lacking a maternal understanding, trying to rein in his daughter's unnaturally sadistic impulses and unintentionally gave her even more of an excuse to be sadistic though the justifications of survival of the fittest? A callous man who knew of his daughter's inherent sadism, but chose not to do anything about it as her skills were useful to him and the tribe? Or did Esdeath inherit his evil, but pragmatic enough to repress those tendencies in order to appear a man with higher standards? Was he always this way? Or did the death of his wife make him more jaded and by proxy, the lack of mother figure make Esdeath more openly evil than she would be without her influence? Esdeath's Father, from what little we see in her flashback.Was his moment of sorrow before quickly getting over it an attempt to make himself seem human to his underlings, or was he genuinely distraught and acted like he didn't care to maintain his fearsome image? Chelsea gained some hate after killing off fan favorite Bols, but the absolutely brutal and horrendous nature behind her death garnered Chelsea some of said-haters' sympathies.The fact that he was the only member of Wild Hunt that wasn't completely deplorable also played a part in why some fans were saddened to see him go. Seeing him get separated from his beloved sword Kotetsu and Akame declining his offer to pass the torch was a bit saddening for some readers. A few chapters beforehand he garnered some dislike from fans for killing off fan favorite Lubbock. A few readers actually felt sad about the death of Wild Hunt's Izou.Akame, on other hand, who had it even worse than Chelsea, doesn't view Merraid and her subordinates as bad people, despite all the sexual harassment, and even sees Merraid as a Worthy Opponent. Chelsea at least decides to leave the Oarburgh Clan and sees her new-found bisexuality as unnatural, although the latter is Played for Laughs. Despite the implied rape, neither Akame or Chelsea seem to see what they went through as traumatic. During the Merraid Oarburgh arc, Chelsea (who was a part of the Oarburgh clan at the time) and later Akame were sexually assaulted and apparently were forced into orgies by Merraid and her subordinates. The prequel series really love to play up Double Standard: Rape, Female on Female, despite the main series using Rape Is a Special Kind of Evil and averting Double Standard Rape: Female on Male.Tatsumi is surprisingly cool with the fact that he's become a Danger Beast as a result of his over-usage of Incursio, and may never be able to be a human again.She still is rather awkward and can say things that she shouldn't (like innocently calling Leone heavy, which gets her a smack in the head from her) to missing obvious social cues (like thinking that Mine wanted to go scouting with Tatsumi because she wanted to eat Tatsumi's lunch instead of because Mine and Tatsumi were at the beginnings of a romantic relationship which everyone else realized). Adorkable: Akame starts off the series being a bit aloof, but as the story goes on, she becomes more open and emotional with her fellow comrades.
