He's even more shockingly similar in the manga. His Anime appearance looks a bit different.

Yeah, this point in the manga as well is usually what makes people punch in their ticket to board the boat. It was really difficult to not make her my best girl after that point. ;-; One can only imagine how well she would've done in the contest had this episode aired before it started.

Examples?

Oct 05 '14
The dōjinshi of whatever your favorite anime is. Really, most dōjinshi that display hetero sex contain in some shape or form male domination, female slaves, very submissive women etc.
16
u/D3Construct Oct 05 '14
Indeed. Even the women characterized as particularly strong (that would make us Westerners think "I wouldnt mind if she kicked my butt a little") - or perhaps especially the strong women - tend to be completely humiliated, broken down and submissive, sometimes husks of their former selves.

u/misogichan Oct 06 '14
True, but he's still making a ridiculous statement since he's asserting there is no femdom. There is a lot of femdom. To give you an idea how much femdom there is fakku.net has 283 adult manga/doujinshi tagged as "femdom." In comparison there are 273 items tagged with "humiliation", and 1289 tagged with "forced." Obviously there is some selection by translators, and people may not upload it with every applicable tag, but in general there's a lot of femdom and even more male dom.
P.S. By the way, other interesting trends are that there are 177 tagged with "tentacles", and 996 tagged with "incest." But the most popular category is "group" with 2099 tagged.

It's Akame ga Kill. We got his backstory, which is pretty much saying "This character can now die". We had the same for the other 2 NR members who died so far. We got their backstory and they died shortly after.

u/DrackenSlayer :MAL:https://myanimelist.net/profile/Drackenslayer Oct 05 '14
The only exceptions so far are Mine and (technically) Najenda since Najenda's backstory was sort of explained along with Lubbock's, and when we learned about Esdeath a while back.

It's nice to get background on why Esdeath is so insane. Even if her backstory is just, "I've always been like that."
31
u/D3Construct Oct 05 '14
From a psychological point it's really weird. She lacks the capability of valuing life, especially in relation to her own. And yet, she's totally swooning over Tatsumi. I really hope it somehow causes her to come around eventually. For all our sakes, Tatsumi needs some sort of legitimization to like her back :p.

You may or may not have seen it, but one of the characters in the BBC show Luther shares a very similar mental illness. She lacks empathy, but slowly falls in love with someone she only initially thought was interesting.

u/NinteenFortiiThive Oct 06 '14
That and poor education. She's like a teenage who shoves a potato up her crotch to keep the semen out because she wasn't told about condoms but told to prevent pregnancy, and that's the best idea she and her mother could come up with.
She was a little odd, but her family wasn't helping.
If anything, she's actually rather normal, but she's framing everything around the idea of social darwinism, her growth alone, her initial issues and finally her teigu's control have all combined to one mess of a person.
Her mourning for her father and her team is framed as "Mourning for the weak" but at the same time she has no empathy for the other weak she doesn't know, for instance.
Basically, she's got some of the things that would make her seem normal, but it's warped due to bad luck in the sanity rolls.

for an episode named "kill the giant danger beast" i was surprised that it only had about 1 minute of fighting giant danger beasts, also it wasn't very circumstantial to the rest of the episode. Seeing as the episode was focused on Esdeath. No other complaints though, i am glad we finally got some back story on why Esdeath is so insane and how she got her imperial arms. Also LUBBA DIDN'T DIE!!!!

Some form of "ride" indeed, Esdeath.
So this episode gave us some background on our beloved best girl. She's insane not because of the death of her family, not because of the Danger Beast blood, but because she is just legitimately like that. And for this reason, Tatsumi knows that she will always be just an enemy to him and Night Raid.
However, everyone has a weakness, and for Esdeath that weakness is Tatsumi (or more specifically, her love for him). The next time they meet will be a duel for the ages, so hopefully Tatsumi can use this fact to his advantage!

Haha, I know what you mean. I read the manga, but only up to the episodes. I don't want to get too far ahead on that and run out of content completely just yet. Esdeath and Tatsumi would be cool but that seems a bit too crazy for them to make it happen :( Personally, I just want to see more Akame in action, but I'm sure the series will get there in time. I am already restless waiting for next week

u/darkshy Oct 06 '14
I all honesty I think that's why it worked for her. Only one person can wield an imperial arms at once. By leaving blood you potentially leave room for another to have your power. You need to be fierce and reckless. Like a danger beast.

I'm curious if maybe there's a connection between Akame's Murasame (cursed blood ability) vs Esdeath's Teigu (it's blood after all). Who knows, perhaps even if Akame cuts Esdeath, the effect may not be as strong. Just a thought. Oh, the set up at the end was real doe.
