Akame ga Kill is one of the most popular anime series also known as Akame Slash. As we know, just looking at the title gives us all indications of how the story goes. In fact, Akame ga Kill is a story about the coming of an era, at least told in its own unique way.

This anime presents some very cool and quite popular characters, such as Chelsea Akame ga Kill, Tatsumi Akame ga Kill, Mine Akame ga Kill and the most famous one is Esdeath Akame ga Kill. As an anime series adapted from a manga, Akame ga Kill season 2 is also in great demand by many people because of the excitement of the story. If you want to know more about Akame ga Kill, let's check out these 15 facts!

1. A Light Novel Adaptation

Like an anime series with a slick and popular story, the story of Akame ga Kill originated from several light novels and later proved popular enough to be turned into a manga which was then serialized. It happened about 11 years ago and since then, the story has continued to gain popularity, especially in certain countries.

2. The Majority of the Story Highlighted Corruption

Most of Akame ga Kill's stories are centered on corrupt practices. The story involves the main character traveling across the country trying to raise money for people in trouble, but he finds himself in fact that almost every individual he once trusted is corrupt.

Ironically, this can be a mirror for society in the real world, especially in modern times. Maybe that's one of the reasons why Akame ga Kill appeals to so many people who think differently. 

3. Also Tells About The Loss Of Innocence

As many people know, the story of Akame ga Kill is also a story centered on the loss of one's guilt. Some people call it a thing naive. The problem is, everyone has an idealistic approach to some things but they keep losing that ideal as they are exposed to more and more harsh realities in this world, especially when they feel that the world is very harsh.

This story is a story about the attitude to face that reality and decide what kind of person the main character wants to be, even when facing such conditions of contention.

4. The Story is Darker Than Anime with the Same Genre

In terms of violence, Akame ga Kill is a series that basically wins by a landslide in that category. The series is certainly considered one of the tougher stories in its genre.

6. Adapted in Anime Because of Its Popularity

This fact should not surprise you. Almost every light novel that was eventually serialized into a manga was also adapted into an anime series because it was so popular.

It came as a shock to most of the fans because Esdeath didn't do that sadistic thing to win the fight, but because she had a strange mind.

This is one of the most shocking death scenes in anime history.

11. Esdeath is the Character with the Most Kills in Akame ga Kill

Esdeath is Akame ga Kill's most popular character even though she often behaves inhumanely. While the series had many great fighters who could kill hundreds of people, none surpassed Esdeath's sheer number of victims.

12. Esdeath is the Leader of Jaegers

14. Esdeath can Make Ice Soldiers

Even though Esdeath was a general and had her own army, she didn't need it because she could create ice soldiers if she wanted to.

Her second Trump card gave her the power to create thousands of ice soldiers. Although it took a few days to make many ice soldiers, the process was well worth the payoff.
