Hmm so if Bulat already died which I was thinking is strongest and they lose companions so fast, they will need new friends soon or anime will end before ep 24 ;d
anyway too bad that Bulat died I didn't expect him to die untill the later episodes, but it was a great fight he took on 3 relic fighters.

I hate it when anime/manga that I enjoyed ends, especially when there could be much longer plot and when I love main heroine :P

I wish I had magic glasses that let me see real world in anime colors ;)

Damn I knew it... RIP Bulat, he was cool, especially in this episode.
Tatsumi was great with his armor, and Akame's sister is so much a psycho wow

Bulat's death was really emotional, because I felt like he was pretty much the only one who really cared for Tatsumi.

:(

But the reveal of the new enemy at the end who just happens to be Akames sister is so cliche it's just boring.

2 episodes when Sheele died, I was impressed. This one, though… this one was a bit far-fetched. Stupid, even. How TF did Bulat survive those attacks. Sometimes I hate anime logic. Regardless of how beat up a character gets, they walk away like it’s nothing.

Colossal, sentient serpents made up of water (pressure) and Bulat sliced through them like they were butter. He was consumed by several to the point where his armor was shattered and the wind was surely knocked out of him from head to toe. Still, he performed sword combat flawlessly.

^ And I friggin hate this as well. All animes are guilty of this fault. But this one was unbelievable. They were having a full-blown conversation whilst floating around in the air.

And what’s with the Incursio armor turning into a dragon? How can we take anything seriously if every Imperial Arms has trump card after trump card after trump card?

On the bright side, when the blonde kid hit the wall, there was an enormous blood splatter behind him. In animes like One Piece, per se, a character would be hurled against a wall at lightning speed and cough out a thimble’s worth of blood… and then skip away merrily. At least the blonde one succumbed to a fatal blow in a realistic way.

Overall, why are all the people in this forum praising this episode? It was awful and executed in the most amateur, cliche, plot-convenient, depth-lacking way possible.

I WILL say Bulat's death is a tragedy being that he's a loveable character. Tatsumi's two gut-wrenching screams that followed were excellently performed as well. I admire this anime for its ability to kill of main characters. First Sheele and now Bulat. I'm guessing the rest of Night Raid will continue to drop like flies. Lubbock's probably next, since he's a more insignificant character like Sheele. That's just my guess though. I honestly have no idea how this anime will pan out.

This played out differently from what I imagined. His former superior knew him well and played every trick to defeat him. Aniki Bulat you will be missed. How can this show balance the loss of so many characters out? Sheel and Bulat were so flashed out and I have real doubts now.

On the other hand, this was a great victory. 3 imperial arms gained, 3 powerful enemies dead, pro-opposition politicians protected. From all the we have seen the enemy is left with only 2 formidable assassins.

Still... Bulat! ;-;

What kind of logic is Liver's reasons to join enemy side? Bruh, he can kill corrupt politicians but at the cost of being an accomplice for the injustices that he and many people are so much against. At least the fight and Bulat's death make more sense than the one with Sheele and that bitch with the dog.

Rip Bulat.

Meh episode but at least to give the show some credit, it was a lot better as a fight than the Sheele one where she got obliterated by a massive dog and Seryu in such a stupid fashion. Bulat despite the humor being really cringey surrounding his character and nature, was one of the few people who actually had a character and bond with the main character to a degree so him dying actually meant something for this show, even if not much in actuality.

Also got to see Akame's sister, Kurome at the end there on top of a ton of corpses. I expected nothing else. Edgy sisters doing edgy things, one good, one evil. How unique.

Bulat was an interesting character. They could have used him till the end of the anime. Apparently, Tatsumi can wield the armor.

This ep is full of high octane action and wow Bulat the man is really a man of inspiration! He fought until the end and only fell because of some cheap trick. This time, the death of Bulat is more impactful to me compared to Sheela's, after all, he's the guy Tatsumi look up towards the most in Night Raid. We won't forget you Bulat and Tatsumi will now have no excuses to kick ass now that he have a relic he could wield.

If compatibility is only about the feeling it inspires when you see the relic in action, your first impression being the deciding factor, then a person who loves all cool weapon technology would be compatible with most of the existing relics.

Why did I think Kurome died before? She's here and she's about to cause her big sis some trouble.

Wow, Tastume PISSED me off this episode, and this dude with the flute is just sitting there and he's just like Derrrrr stands up with an enemy right there, doesn't fight him, and turns his back to him. And the whole time he keeps saying the DUMBEST shit ever. I have liked him mostly but this episode made me really annoyed with him. He doesn't deserve this dudes arms. Also why the F didn't he pick up the flute and the ring IMMEDIATELY? I thought they collected those Arms and they DEF don't want ANY of them with the bad guys

Bulat died, another great character is dead damn. But this was a lot less infruiating death than Sheeles and its good to see Tatsumi have comaptibility with Bulats relic. and at the end we got to see Akames sister. i am really interested to see her character, and what is Esdeaths plan now that 3 of her most loyal servants died.and ngl the general was a major simp for Esdeath lmao

Bulat is also dead. If only Tatsumi was stronger, he would hae survived. A lot of kills...It leaves you a trauma.

The fights are good, the outcome is sad.

Bulat's death was a lot less tragic and senseless than Sheele's, who's scene was brutal, tragic, and that fight didn't really need to happen other than for the plot (Sheele and Mine were just going home) and to affect the other characters. Bulat fought his old respected master, they defeated each other, and Bulat got to pass on his legacy to Tatsumi. It was sad to see Bulat and his master go, but it didn't feel like he was snatched away from us like Sheele was.

This anime is really good at making distinctive characters, even the "nobody throwaway" characters (like the official and his daughter bodyguard last episode, or Esdeath's three underlings, or the bad guys at the end of this episode) feel like characters that could last the entire show. This anime is also really good at making me feel conflicted, I don't want to see characters die, and I don't want to see character fighting each other to the death. Here with Bulat and his former master, we can see why his master went on the path he did, why Bulat went on the path he did, and why both are now too invested to deviate now. I kind of wished this was a different kind of anime where they could work it out without killing one another, but it's not so we're not going to get super deep character. However the characters are interesting and compelling with what little time we see of them.

This anime gets worse with each episode. The duration of the fight is very short, the main character is always surprised and yapping, and the tempo is also erratic. This is more suitable as an in-game story video than an anime series.
