Kill the Nuisances (邪魔者を斬る, Jamamono o Kiru) is the thirteenth episode of the Akame ga Kill! anime.
Plot[]
The Prime Minister assigns Esdeath to track down the Danger Beasts from the previous episode and kill them. The Jaegers attack some of the Danger Beasts when they attack a wagon of supplies. Wave recalls the incident the next day and notes that the merchants present were terrified of Bols, despite his kind personality, because of his otherwise-fearsome appearance. However, Bols tells him that despite his personality, he had killed many people in the past, earning himself a lot of hate from the people. Bols’ wife and young daughter visit the Jaegers in support of Bols’ work, much to the surprise of Wave. Meanwhile, Tatsumi trains with Susanoo and tells him that he should be considered one of Night Raid’s members and not as a tool. Night Raid travels to their new hideout and are given their newest mission, which is to kill the modified Danger Beasts.
This is essentially helping the Capital that they have been fighting. When Chelsea states her belief that the Jaegers should take care of the problem, Tatsumi counters that by aiding the Capital, they would be able to save more lives. Chelsea later confides to Najenda that she believes Tatsumi's kindness will eventually lead him to his death. Esdeath and Run express to each other their beliefs that, since the new Danger Beasts were revealed to have once been human, they were possibly the result of one of Dr. Stylish's experiments. The pair assume the new Danger Beasts either somehow managed to escape their containment or were freed by someone. Seryu and Koro take out a group of the Danger Beasts as their master watches, deciding he'll continue playing with his "toys." While patrolling the mountains the following night, Tatsumi learns about Lubbock's reasons for joining Night Raid and that they involve Najenda. Tatsumi travels to the summit of a mountain alone to look for more Danger Beasts when he is suddenly confronted by a wandering Esdeath, who is shocked to see him.
Characters in order of appearance[]
Notes[]
- In the anime, the woman's pregnancy (as well as the scene where a Danger Beast open her stomach) was excluded. Moreover in the manga, the couple lived in a village while in the anime they lived in a house in the woods.
- Bols uses multiple physical attacks on the Danger Beasts before incinerating them with Rubicante in the manga. In the anime, he attacks one with a simple punch before incinerating them.
- The Revolutionary Army's Air Manta is not shown outside Night Raid's new hideout in the anime.
- In the manga, when Mine, Leone and Chelsea express their desire to bathe in the hideout's hot spring, Tatsumi is shown fearing retaliation from Chelsea as a result of their previous encounter. This is absent in the anime.
