as sad as i was for rubboc, i still focused on esdeath.
Its was lightening to know that even after that blow, she still loved tatsumi (the title 'kill the love' had me over the edge) and was still trying to convince him. it almost looked liked she was about to cry and beg until the sun came up and she realised time was up, otherwise she might of kept going.
gripping her fist to tighten her resolve to do what has to be done. but will she go through with it? i doubt it, but the possibility is always there. once again, the author has written things to keep the 'will she? wont she?' aurgument alive and well. though it is probobly what helps the series.
from what 4chan says, the intro of esdeath, the jaegers and the esdeath episode managed to increase the sales of the series and the ratings. mind you, apparetnly they still arnt that great, but its had to tell the *** from the people with actual data.
that being said, once more, the author has got to treat her real delicate like. he had esdeath still in lvoe with tatsumi, showed she still cared about him to a great degree but then left it with the possibilities still open. what a drag... we have the 50/50 evidence that she could change for tatsumi however subtle they are but then we have the obvious sadistic carnage. if she was not driven mad by the shock and driven to kill NR for taking Tatsumi, i doubt she will go crazy enough to hunt down NR from anger, but more so for duty. until that point, i belive in her! besides, without her assistance i dont see tatsumi getting incurso back unless he planned to kill 'Night Raids Tatsumi'. helping him out would be the best way for him to get it back, but thats predictable so he probobly wont for a while.. and unless esdeath is intent of staying with tatsumi until the actual execution gets underway, i dont see anyone being able to help him unless wave or the rebel minister has a role in it (since wave already feels like seryus justice was off, he may feel the same for esdeath and her love)
geuss its another long ass wait, this chapter didnt really give and definite answer on what she'll do. we all expected her to implode but she just tried to get tasumi again. i feel like she will still stay with bols advice and look for another chance.
as for the execution itself, it seems like NR will try to pull something off, but with esdeath around it would have to be something really big or really stupid. i bet mine is stupid and causes a muck. but i also feel that perhaps the PM snapped inside or something when syura died. perhaps he's the one who causes chaos in the capital. and mine pays the price.
As for rubboc. i did not expect that at all. i knew it was a possibility but it seems like the author wrote the whole handing an army to syura to capture night raid up as a throw off to have us feel that rubboc would break. i think it was a bit fitting that samurai guy did something but i honestly thought that rubboc could make it to najenda first. this is like chelsea all over again.
for the PMs choosing a mother i see it as
Akame - no, title character armour.
Esdeath - hell no for obvious reasons.
Kurome - If esdeath betrayed the empire and the jaegers are held responsible, then maybe, unless she becomes part of the betrayl IF it happens, but unlikely for her to do so. otherwise then no since she belongs to esdeath.
Mine - probobly. being raped then killed or just the PMs plaything. with all the bad signs around Mine it would not surprise me.
Leone- also possible. she is probobly his type anyway.
Najenda - also possible. unlike Mine and leone, she is strong by her nature than her teigu.
Dorothea - nope, that would just cause her to leave him to his own devices.
racksha demon - she may be a masachist, but i dont think she's THAT deep.
Bunny girl - proboble. its not like she can do much else and she is retarded so...
well thats all from me.
RIP rubboc
Gambere esdeath!
