The Four Rakshasa Demons
The Imperial Fist Temple Four Rakshasa Demons (皇拳寺 羅刹四鬼, kōkenji rasetsu yonki), also known simply as Four Rakshasa Demons, were skilled warriors in the employ of Prime Minister Honest.
History[]
Little is known of the Four Rakshasa Demons other than the fact that they were the Prime Minister's personal squad of executioners and were powerful enough to take on Teigu users, despite not possessing the aforementioned weapons themselves, due to gaining superhuman abilities through the consumption of a type of Danger Beast known as a Lake Kraken. It is known that each of the team members trained at the Kouken temple being instructed in the art of the Imperial Fist, and killed multiple Teigu users, and takes their Teigu.
Akame ga Kill! Zero[]
Mez, and Suzuka spying on Oarburgh hideout
During the Elite Seven's conflict with the Oarburgh Clan, Gozuki, a former member of the Demons, requested the four's presence in the operation in order to act as backup to the Elite Seven upon three of their members being abducted by the enemy.
The Four then proceeded to split up in order to achieve their new assignments. Suzuka and Mez went out in order to scout the Enemy's hideout, where Suzuka successfully infiltrated the enemy base and made contact with the captured Akame and Kurome and began making plans with them for their eventual raid on the enemy. Where Sten went ahead and rendezvouses with Gozuki to check up on him and the surviving members of the Seven.
Eventually during the main event of the Raid, the four Rakshasa Demons raided the Oarburgh hideout together with the seven where they successfully succeeded in infiltrating the hideout and massacring many members of the Oarburghs.
Eventually the operation ended with the Empire's complete success upon successfully massacring a great number of the Oarburgh's members as well as successfully killing its leader at Akame's hand and the elimination of all the Oarburgh clan's most powerful members.
Akame ga Kill![]
The Prime Minister ordered the Demons to protect Bolic, who was a subordinate of the Empire masquerading as a leader of the religious sect, the "Path of Peace".
Lubbock killed Mez
From some undetermined time, the group was stationed in Kyoroch to protect Bolic on Honest's orders. It wasn't until the appearance of the Jaegers that the group was authorized to leave the palace and execute assassins, during the night, Mez and Sten found Lubbock identifying him as a member of Night Raid, after a chase he hits him that apparently ends the assassin's life. Just as they were leaving Mez notices Pais, a spy from the Revolutionary Army , when Sten was preparing to kill her, Lubbock gets up from the ground ready to fight the Rakshasa Demons and after a long battle the assassin finally manages to kill the two Rakshasa Demons. That same night Suzuka found the hideout of the Revolutionary Army Spy Team killing them all after letting herself be beaten by them, while Ibara had found Akame in a remote place with two Revolutionary Army soldiers whom she kills before starting to fight the assassin.
Suzuka is the only survivor, the others having been exterminated by Night Raid, something that Syura mocked them for. She was later severely injured by Esdeath after trying to rape Tatsumi, however she recovered, albeit with the lower half of her face bandaged.
After the events of the Revolution and the death's of the Emperor, the Primer Minister and Esdeath, Suzuka was forced on the run due to her allegiance to the former regime and due to her crimes while working under them. However despite this, Suzuka herself was mostly unbothered by her situation and after recovering Esdeath's severed arm and using Alchemy to halt its rotting, she was mostly content. Suzuka then disappeared and was left uncaptured by the new government.
Abilities[]
Though the Demons did not fight with Teigu, they were said to be powerful enough to fight against an opponent wielding one. Apart from their martial arts mastery, they were able to manipulate their bodies in a myriad of ways that made them deadly, including extending their nails and hair to pierce enemies, twisting and bending their bodies to avoid attacks and stretching their limbs to fight enemies at range. The Demons claimed to have recovered five Teigu for the Empire using their skills in combat.
