Well that's what one would assume when handling a poisoned blade.

If it wasn't a rushed anime only, they could have made a flashback of her accidentally cutting herself once and discovering a powerup...or maybe say you have to cut yourself specifically in the neck. Or a flashback of Gozuki explaining to Akame about a trump card it had, but saying it's a one time deal or something Or showing how Gozuki killed himself by using it....There's a bunch of ways for the manga to go about explaining this, I feel. But for the anime...because it was rushed, I thought it was still a good idea for a trump card, and for the anime only part, this was definitely the least of the problems.

I feel like that Lubba hinted that it was too dangerous to use so it's probably a one time thing.


I sincerely doubt Lubba would leak even a little hint about his allies ability to save his own skin. He was most likely making it all up to buy time >_>


Well of course.
But, I think the author used that opportunity to foreshadow something about it though.

I loved akame's trump card in the anime even if it was a bit predictable, I mean what kind of trump card would just a sword allow. Had a feeling it would be cutting herself. Made sense.

If it's different in the manga...yay. If not, I still like it.


How she got that powerup in the anime, as Darklight pointed it out, it was bad and didnt make sense.

It wouldve made sense if she actually fused with murasame, with the consequences of dying after using that power.

I would prefer UT have a different design and have ONEST as the one that can use it.

It wasnt believable how the kid emperor(who had no fighting experience) could control it in the anime.

UT should be an armor that Onest wears it but later on Onest gets taken over by the UT.

What a great chapter. Seriously, so much happened... When Mine decided to go against Budo I was like 'OK, now she's finally going to die after a long waving death flag', so the result really surprised me.

Yeah, It seems that I read a different translation.

Besides, before this chapter there hasnt been any mention of broken teigus being repaired.

Unless that Teigu expect could help Mine(if she wakes up) giving her a new Teigu, a teigu that isnt OP like pumpkin.

Wont mind if its another gun or a weapon with range, as long as its not pinchi again.


As long as that damned deus ex machina plot device doesn't come back


Duuuuuuude, you're being a huge hypocrite right there. A deus ex machima? And what about FUCKING FREEZING TIME? And what about Tatsumi countering out of nowhere FUCKING FREEZING TIME? Then there is that girl who can regenerate super fast, a girl who scratching you with her sword ends up killing you... Haven't you realized yet that this manga is fulllll of deus ex machima and overpowered item (and yes, Pumpkin being one of them)? The only thing that makes if someone win over someone else is the autor mood. So I don't really understand what point you're trying to make while bashing on Pumpkin. And don't tell me : ''Yeah, but it's an item that make her almost invincible!''. Yeah, ''almost'', because ya' know, she lost in the end...

Calling it now final enemy is tatsumi. in the fiinal battle vs esdeath he uses everything and offers his body to incursio wich grants him an insane temporarly power boost and then consumes him turning him into a full blow rampaging beast and akame will be forced to kill him. Ofcourse he will snap out of it right before the finishing blow on akame. Then they get caught offgaurd from esdeath her final ice strike before she dies. Tatsumi jumps infront of akame saving her from the ice shard and still ends up dying in the end.

That's actually pretty interesting. I would add the cause of him snapping out of being consumed is Mine appears reawakened. Or maybe the cause of him wanting this power boost is that Mine wakes up and Esdeath kills her causing Tatsumi to go crazy.

You know what those teigu have in common that Pumpkin didn't have? Consistency. Pumpkin went from being powered by the danger the user was in to being powered by the user's fucking emotions. That's what made it even more of a deus ex machina than the rest. Changing mechanics mid way just to preserve that pink haired bitch when she should have died three times over by now

An ice user--->Revealed Trump Card Freezing Time
Incursio-->Showed tons of upgrades and power ups,countering Esdeath one of those
Susanoo-->Revealed trump card super power up for 3 times
Pumpkin-->Revealed that Mine can manipulate its danger sense with emotions
Kurome-->Teigu using dead bodies,Revealed she wont die suddenly cause of drugs and shit


Can you explain me how any of those are different?You feel like Pumpkin's situation is different and its inconsistent just because of your hatred...Like it or not,mangaka adds new features to Teiguus whenever he feels its necessary...

Just because mangaka didnt give enough information about a Teigu before it doesnt mean its an asspull,if you think its an asspull then all of these are asspull...

You are right when Pumpkin got the habilty to powerup his power by the user emotions... But that doesnt mean she is OP... You can just simply "avoid"

Akame - Ups i cut your finger. YYOU DIE

Esdeath - Freeze time.. why? CAUSE I CAN

Leone - You can cut all my body all you want.. but guess what? I CAN REGENERATE ALL AGAIN

And there are others.

So tis means Mein isnt the only one having an OP weapon.

There may not be so much hate for pumpkin if it were to have a different owner.

Anyway pumpkin does have its consistency. If you were in a pinch, you will experience different emotions (be it excitement or fear)

If mine has no idea that she is in a pinch (eg, she doesn't know who esdeath and budo is), i doubt pumpkin will have any power up.

After Seryus death you could tell the remaining episodes were done at the last min just to test the waters what would work and what wouldnt.


Since Mines death caused such an unexpected shitstorm(not only in this forum) in other anime forums/FB/YT, this made Takahiro change his mind.

Pumpkin became extra powerful because of her feelings for tatsumi, something mine never used with pumpkin before. It was hinted that it'd become stronger because of her feelings for tatsumi at the end of the seryu fight

And the damn thing broke because it overexceeded it's limits so why are you people complaining about pumpkin being OP? Everything made sense.

The fact the anime never mentioned the reason of Mine passing out like the manga did, I agree, LoneyWizard,, the viewers were confused how Mine died.

Darklight, it was just a brilliant decision by Takahiro leaving Mine in a comma, it convinces the Mine fans to keep reading the manga until the end instead of dropping it and never picking it up again.

Yes he is a coward. All of those deaths so far proved otherwise yet when it came to killing the pink bimbo who hijacked the series and plot he pussied out cause of the noisy fan. I have no respect for an author that is swayed by his fandom when telling a story.

If Mine wasn't alive Tatsumi would not have been captured at all. hell even Lubock would be alive. So your argument about her being crucial to defeating Budou falls apart when they would not have been in this disadvantageous battle to begin with if Tatsumi didn't have to rush back and save her ass which made him leave Suzuka supposedly for dead under the rubble which only led to her surviving and revealing his identity to Shura who could set up that trap. So no. Her beating Budou doesn't prove jack shit.

There are a very few amount of asspulls, but they are done the right way(Tatsumis powering up).

Takahiro was smart in saying we are close to the final arc, I expect it be the longest in the series imo.

The remaining Jaegars/Wild Hunt guys should get decent panels of development specially Wave and Kurome.

If Wave is really the Luigi of AGK as Takahiro pointed it out, then he has to reach the level current Tatsumi has reached.

Her being Tatsumi's forced girlfriend is no bettter a reason. Sorry to break it to you. Takahiro had balls before. He lost them now. Probably just like how Lubbock lost his only iin his case the stupid fanbase was holding the pliers to crush the family jewels. Another series ruined by its fandom.

I have seen good series go down the shitter because the author feared fandom backlash. I had hopes that AGK would not share that fate and would continue to kill everyone since that was what it set itself up even if Mine should have died before Shelee.

Fandoms should never dictate the plot or the fate of characters. Take for example Pandora Hearts. Many popular characters died there and they STAYED dead. Hell my favorite character in that series died a few months back. I still read the series though. I guess the quality of the Pandora Hearts fandom is just higher than that of AGK. After all we accepted the developments and even affectionately dubbed it Pandora Hurts. But we didn't drop it.

The threat of dropping sales or reader approval should not influence an author. This is fact. The moment it happens, you know the author is done for and the story just lost any chance of reaching a satisfying conclusion. Because it was not the story the author originally wanted. It is a story that was twisted by the demands of the fandom.

So it's alright for you people to worship her every pinchi step but not okay for people to hate her. What a lovely double standard you sport there. No I will continue my campaign against her. Because she is a horrible character that was not reined in and shoehorned to survive and thus resulting in hijacking the series entirely.

You do realize that's what gives Pumpkin an unfair advantage right? The others require an immense amount of skill to be able to use. While Pumpkin is literally "IF I GET ANGRY ENOUGH ILL WIN". In the end, it's bullshit and unfair toward every single teiguu user in the manga. Sure, a lot of teiguu out there are overpowered, but the user actually had to train to be able to obtain these new powers. Whether it be Tatsumi, Esdese, or whoever. All Mine has to do is get angry and it can overpower any teiguu. If that doesn't spell cheap to you, I don't know what does. And that goes for pretty much any manga.

Now before you go off saying I'm a "Mine hater", I'm really not. I just get tired of seeing all conveniences that are given to her when other characters don't even get thrown a freakin' bone.

i wont call you a Mine hater (still,not liking Mine is perfectly fine as long as you dont say it literally every minute and you have your reasons)..

Yes,Pumpkin spells cheap,and its OP...But as i said before there are lots of OP things in this manga and the fact that user needs to train to be OP doesnt change the fact that they are OP...I dont read alot of manga like this,normally i only read Romance manga but when i do read this manga i prepare myself for anything shounen-ish...Pumpkin is not the only thing unrealistic thing in this manga and its not a reason to hate Mine...

Friendly Reminder:I never said "Pumpkin is not OP"

TL;DR:Pumpkin is not so unrealistic in the AgK universe even though it is unfair if you think according to our world's laws...And its definitely not worse than freezing time...

In terms of destructive capacity, I agree its a bit OP, but you need to have insane reflexes to dodge Pumpkin beams(Esdease managed to casually dodge them).

It means jack when you have lots fo power but you cant hit your opponent.

But Budou lost because he ran out of energy, this also atributes to his lack of recent fighting experience, while Esdease has been in constant battles vs the rebels.

All Esdease could do is keep dodging until Mine doesnt have the energy to use Pumpkin anymore.

But it is the only thing that's driven by emotions, and that's my issue with it. Most of the overpowered things in the manga have a limit. When something is driven by emotions, it pretty much has infinite power. Which is where my issue comes in. Even Esdese's time freeze has a limit of a few seconds and only once per day.

Very true. Which is exactly why, according to what's all happened so far with how truly powerful Esdese is, Mine should've been killed by Esdese in that arena.
