| The Empire's strongest soldier, Esdeath, returns to the capital alongside her elite soldiers, the Three Beasts: Daidara, Nyau, and Liver. Tatsumi trains with Akame and Bulat. The Three Beasts go on a rash of killings of civil servants that were neutral to the empire, leaving fliers that credit Night Raid for the attacks. Tatsumi and Bulat board a ship to search for the assassins, while Leone abandons a possible attack on Esdeath in public when she senses the latter's aura. Tatsumi is then confronted by the Three Beasts, one of whom was Bulat's former superior. In the ensuing fight, Liver injects poison into his blood and uses it to kill himself and Bulat, who passes his Teigu, Incursio, to Tatsumi. Akame's sister Kurome is summoned to the capital. |

| The members of Night Raid succeed not only in rescuing Tatsumi, but in taking down Budo, considered the Empire's strongest general. However, Mine's battle against Budo causes her Teigu to be destroyed, and takes such a toll to her body and mind that she falls into a comatose state. To make matters worse, Tatsumi is informed that his body is slowly being taken over by Incursio every time he uses it, and it will take only a few more uses for him to become completely possessed by his Teigu. Despite that, he joins Akame and Leone in a successful mission that ends with them ambushing and killing the last three members of Wild Hunt. |

Meanwhile, Esdeath routs the attackers with the power of her Teigu. After nearly losing his life to Akame in battle, Wave decides to look for a way to stop her impending showdown with Kurome, to no avail. As the two sisters clash, Wave confronts Tatsumi, who wants to stop him from interfering, but he outmatches Tatsumi by achieving the never seen before feat of using two Teigu simultaneously. After stopping the duel, Wave declares his love for Kurome and convinces her to flee with him, so they can live peacefully together until the war is over. |
