Honest/Filler Plot


 * Note: Filler Events that happen in the anime only and does not constitute to the canon material.

After Bolic's assassination by Night Raid, Honest couldn't believe that his plans of subduing the Path of Peace would be thwarted, despite the Jaegers' protection, even by Esdeath herself. After Tatsumi's capture and Lubbock's death in an attempt to infiltrate the royal palace, Honest was informed by Budo of his son, Syura's death. He at first cried in mourning, but then quickly brushed it off, scheming to have another one who will not fail him, much to Budo's disgust for his lack of sympathy of his kin.

Later at the day of Tatsumi's execution meant to demoralize the Revolutionary Army, Honest hears the Emperor's impressive speech to the people before leaving, prompting Budo to be suspicious about his motives long after Night Raid arrived to rescue Tatsumi.

In the outbreak of the mass revolt by the Capital's population and the siege by the Revolutionary Army, Honest convinces the child Emperor that it's time to show the people why they should fear the ruler of the Empire as he shows him the "legendary" Teigu, the Shikoutazer.

In the ongoing siege on the Capital, Honest was with the Emperor and the Imperial Guard of the late Great General Budo when the few remaining members of Night Raid infiltrated the royal palace successfully to kill him once and for all. Honest finally compels the child ruler to activate the Shikoutazer and lay waste on the Capital all in the name of protecting the Empire, earning Tatsumi's anger, as he insults Honest for manipulating him and for causing the chaos under his tyanny. However, Honest rebuffs his accusation, refusing to take the blame for his crimes. Tatsumi threatens him, saying the Empire is finished, earning Honest's anger. He then tells the Emperor to bring out the Shikoutazer.

Witnessing the all-out destructive battle between the Emperor and Tatsumi, clad in his Incursio armor, Honest keeps cheering for the boy, telling that he made his parents proud "protecting" the Empire after their mysterious murder (it's suspected that he had a hand in this), but was later shocked when Wave, clad in his Grand Chariot armor, who finally saw the error in the Empire's ways, joined the fray and saved Tatsumi from a fatal blow. Seeing one of the Jaegers fighting against the Emperor, Honest accuses Wave of defecting to the Revolutionary Army, but was rebuffed by the latter, who declared that he fights for the people, even against the Prime Minister, much to his shock, but he later recomposes himself under the belief that the armored Teigu users will be no match for Shikoutazer.

However, when Tatsumi in an evolved Incursio destroys the Emperor's Teigu by targeting its weak spot, Honest was extremely shocked, as his plans to kill the rebellion failed. With the Emperor's defeat, he attempts to flee as he aims to scheme his way to power again someday, but was intercepted by Leone, who is here to finish him off now that the Empire is finished and with no one left to save him. However, Honest uses his Erastone to destroy her Lionelle and then fatally shoots her in the stomach and mocks her. However, Leone punches him to the ground and she condemns his existence, and Honest shoots her again multiple times, but it fails to kill her as she withstands it pain. With his fate sealed, Leone proceeds to crush Honest's skull several times, killing him and putting an end to his tyanny and corruption.
