Night Raid Missions
Eps 1–19 · 19 epsHow does Akame ga Kill! begin?
Episodes 1-19 (2014) follow Tatsumi, a village swordsman who travels to the Capital seeking money for his impoverished hometown, only to witness the Empire's corruption firsthand and join Night Raid — an assassin unit of the Revolutionary Army — as they eliminate corrupt officials tied to the tyrannical Prime Minister Honest, who manipulates the child Emperor from the shadows.
Anime-Original Finale
Eps 20–24 · 5 epsHow does the Akame ga Kill! anime end, and does it match the manga?
Episodes 20-24 (2014) form a wholly anime-original arc not found in the manga, depicting Night Raid's final push to bring down the Empire and Prime Minister Honest. Because the anime's production outpaced the ongoing manga at the time, this ending diverges significantly from — and concludes very differently than — Takahiro and Tetsuya Tashiro's original manga.
