Kill the Three Part 1 (三匹を斬る- 前編-,  Sanbiki o Kiru-Zenpen-) is the seventh episode of the Akame ga Kill! anime.

Plot
The Emperor rewards Esdeath with ten thousand gold pieces for conquering the Northern race. She gratefully thanks him as she says that she would give her reward to her soldiers back in the Northern race. Prime Minister Honest thinks that because Esdeath is not very keen on politics, he would be able to use her in demolishing unwanted things and let her do as she pleases, still having him able to control the kingdom. Esdeath then announced that she would exterminate Night Raid as it is the emperor's wish and the emperor said he would reward her with something better of her choice. She then replies with a wish that shocks both the Emperor and Prime Minister, demanding that she would like to fall in love with a man who fits her list.

Mine and Akame are eating their food at the table, but because of the injury Mine had earned in the last battle, Akame has to feed her. Tatsumi is washing the dishes and thinks that Akame must be very strong and calm to not have shown much emotion after Sheele's death. At the thought of her death, Tatsumi thinks of Seryu, the soldier that had helped him in Episode 5 from being lost as being the one who had killed Sheele. He then finds that the job he has now is a painful line of work.

Esdeath and Honest talk a little about love whilst walking. She tells him that she finds it quite hard to think about love when she's very interested in slaughtering. The Prime Minister's response is a true fact, stating that it's not odd to be keen on the opposite gender. Though in his mind, he never thought that 'love' would suit Esdeath much, considering she's an extreme sadist. While Esdeath thinks that love may be a bestial instinct, she states that she will take pleasure in hunting Night Raid for now. Hearing her say this, the minister tells her that he has a good idea for that. Later, Esdeath tells the Three Beasts that she will give them new orders and they respond by saying that they will accept any sort of order she gives to them much to her delight.
