The anime’s story follows around a group of assassins who call themselves ‘Night Raid,’ and they are also a part of a revolutionary army. They have only one purpose, and that is to overthrow the Governance of Prime Minister Honest. As the show has portrayed, the Prime Minister is nothing but a greedy and corrupt leader who has only looked after himself, and because of that, the entire nation is in a state of impoverishment. The Night Raid members are not mindless murderers, and they know very well what are the consequences of their actions. The story sets in motion when a new member called Tatsumi joins the members of ‘Night Raid’ and helps them perpetuate their vision. If the show is renewed for a second season, it will leave behind the first season’s storyline and begin a completely new story.

Like many anime shows, ‘Akame ga kill’ also has many characters, but here we will discuss the most important characters in the show. Scroll down to know more. 

Akame– In the beginning, Akame seems like a killer who has no sympathy for others, and she kills mercilessly. But as the show progresses, the audience realizes that she is very soft-hearted. She is one of the very first members of the ‘Night Raid’ team. Somewhere in the show, she attacks Tatsumi and almost manages to kill him, but it fails since Tatsumi somehow manages to get away. Akame is considered one of the best assassins of the ‘Night Raid,’ and she has gone through some horrifying training to become one. 

Leone– Described as having a very happy-go-lucky personality, Leone is one of the Night Raid team’s elder members, and she often does a lot of crazy things in the show that mainly serves as comic relief. She is also described as one of the most mature characters in the show and is known to keep her cool even in tough situations. But, don’t be mistaken, she also has a very vicious side, which only comes out when she sees any kind of injustice happening. 

Mine– She joined the Night Raid team when the assassins were performing alliances with the west. Since she has faced a lot of discrimination as a child, she someday wants to bring an end to this, which is her entire motive. Known to have a quick temper, she is cold on the outside, but once people get to know her, she is a warm-hearted person who won’t even hesitate to give her life for the ones she loves.
