Series Synopsis
For those living in the country, the Capital seems like the place to make a name and some money. That’s what Tatsumi (voiced by Soma Saito) thought. A young swordsman with big dreams, Tatsumi has a bright future ahead of him. The only thing bigger than his aspirations is his naivety.
Upon arriving in the Capital, Tatsumi learns how deep corruption has taken root. Villany and tyranny lurk everywhere. The people live in fear. If starvation doesn’t kill you, the government might. The just and grand Empire told to Tatsumi died out a long time ago.
Yet in the shadow, the flames of revolution are growing. But the power of the Empire threatens to crush liberation at every turn. Hope is in short supply these days. But the tides are shifting.
The fledgling rebels have an ace up their sleeve. A small, but deadly group of assassins know as Night Raid. Their combined strength and skill have spread fear into hearts of the Capital’s leadership. But none is more infamous than team's most deadly. A powerful swordswoman named Akame (voiced by Sora Amamiya).
Akame and Night Raid’s mission resonates with Tatsumi. Though inexperienced, he soon makes a name for himself. It seems there is nothing that can stop them.
