most would love to see them couple up. its only bits and bobs that dont like here or the idea.

i am personally under the impression that Takahiro wrote the whole 'evil is evil' thing just to get people speculating about her. its worked on all kinds of forums, i'll bet the japanese forums are off the charts. mainly because it causes us to discuss what actually counts for true evil in the empire. as sadistic as esdeath is, she at least has reason as being a soldier of war which legitimises her massacres, believing in the survival of the strongest due to her influence, and killing is baisically all she knows. as for others like the PM, they simply get drunk on power and authority (from what is shown), so what really is evil?

it would make sense for her to be the sort of evil character that has good points that make you want her on your side, but to actually write 'i am writing her in a way so you absolutly do not forget that evil is evil' is a bit much.

Besides. most Data books are comments of the story 'Thus Far'. they dont exactly tell what will happen in the future, just the comments on the story and characters at the point of its release. thats why there are usually more than 1 data book per series. we have already seen esdeaths crulty and evil and know that at that point she is beyond redemption so the point is obviously made. but whether that will stand for the entire story is something different so there may be hope. thats why there are usually more than 1 data books released, due to changes in the story, the characters, the situations and new items and objects to describe.

to write that she will aboslutly be evil before the story is even finished is too much of a spoiler to actually be legit. whats more, there is so much official character art of her, second to akame, that its obvious she is a popular character. hell, most people follow the story just to see how she'll turn out so its something that needs to be handled REALLY delicitly one way or the other. if she turns postal, too many hearts will be servered, and they'll drop the series. if she turns too cliche, many would be annoyed and critisies the series (with less dropping it)

the whole, 'evil is evil' thing, the chapter 'kill the love' and esdeaths crulty would all boast that she will remain with the empire and that tatsumi is out of her grasp.

at the same time, we have seen that tatsumi has an effect on her, making her do things out of the ordinary, we know that she is tenacious, that she promised to protect tatsumi and that she wont accept anyone else since he is the only tatsumi in the world.

what comes next? i though we would know by now. perhaps takahiro intended for nothing on esdeath to be done in order to decide the ultimate destiney for her (and therefore mine), as well as other work. pray he makes the best call for most of the fans and eventually pairs esdeath and tatsumi together. Besides, Tatsumi is 'falling' for mine, not 'fallen'. even if she was intended to be his lover, they have yet to seal the deal, and even so, esdeath is not one to give up.

please Takahiro. do the right thing. it would be the best thing for the series.
