Meet the characters from Akame Ga Kill!

Prime Minister Honest

Oh man, Honest is the kind of villain you low-key hate because he smiles while doing the worst things — wealthy, smooth-talking, and so chillingly composed. He plays statesman by day and puppet-master by night, always with that smug little look like he knows how the world ends (and maybe he’s already written the script). He’s cold and calculating but also weirdly classy, like he’d serve you tea before ordering your doom — tuxedo energy with rot under the seams. Somehow he’s both charmingly urbane and disgustingly corrupt, and you can’t decide whether to clap or scream. Tiny detail: he collects butterflies? No wait, coins. Or both.

Mine

Mine is the absolute tsundere sniper queen — sharp tongue, sharp rifle, and somehow both prickly and deeply soft (especially around that one cinnamon-roll person). She’s sarcastic and dramatic and will insult you for fun, but give her tea and she’ll melt a little; also her aim is ridiculous, like don’t blink. She’s got this punky look but a surprisingly tender side, like she’ll punch someone then bake cookies the next day — inconsistent but adorable. Her humor is dark sometimes, and she’s fiercely loyal, protective to the point of obsession, which is kind of terrifying in a good way. Also, she claims she hates small animals but definitely has a secret plush collection.

Bols

Bols is the big, stoic muscle with the literal heart of gold (and a scar that tells stories), the kind of guy who does the heavy lifting and never brags about it. He’s lumbering and serious, gruff with a soft spot for the gang — a gentle giant who’d eat raw onions and still be sweeter than most folks. He swears loyalty like it’s a religion and has a surprisingly dry sense of humor that catches you off guard, plus a weird hobby like knitting or maybe not, I can’t remember. He looks terrifying and is terrifying when riled, but also probably cries at sunsets? Maybe at sunsets and military parades.

Leone

Leone is pure chaotic sunshine — feral, affectionate, and absolutely loves a good brawl (and snacks, always snacks). She’s playful and loud, the sort of person who’ll mug you for your sandwich and then sit on your lap like you’re friends forever; also annoyingly competent in every fight. She’s protective in an annoyingly adorable way and would probably punch bureaucracy in the face if bureaucracy had a face, you know? There’s this grungy, wild charm that makes her both a riot and actually kind of wise, like life lessons screamed across a bar fight. Small note: she collects sunglasses but only wears one on Mondays.

Kurome

Kurome gives off this tragic, eerie doll-vibe — smiling with eyes that don’t match, wielding puppets and a childhood that went wrong in the worst way. She’s twisted and sympathetic at the same time, like you want to hug her and also run, and there’s a lingering sadness that seeps through her cruelty. Her loyalty is warped, her playfulness is broken, and she’s sewn together from the worst memories but still somehow childlike (but also murderous, confusingly). She’s the kind who hums lullabies while setting traps, and it’s disturbing but heartbreaking. Also she might like origami or collecting hairpins — very specific, very unsettling.

Akame

Akame is the silent, deadly blade who says little but communicates entire novels with one glance — efficient, disciplined, and terrifyingly calm in battle. She’s the embodiment of “less is more”: quiet, focused, loyal to a fault, and she has this tiny smile that feels like sunlight and a no-nonsense stare that freezes you. She’s practically made of resolve and melancholic duty, but she’s also unexpectedly fond of simple things (strawberries? books? maybe both, I can’t choose). There’s a samurai purity to her — she does what must be done, and does it beautifully, even if it breaks her a little inside. Random quirky bit: she probably has a horror movie buffet of cat hair? No, definitely cats, maybe.

Seryu Ubiquitous

Seryu is the delightfully unhinged justice queen — cheerful, militant, and terrifyingly self-righteous, with a big grin and even bigger cognitive dissonance. She loves law and order like it’s a religion and has this childlike idolization of heroes that goes full-on break-glass mode when things don’t fit her script. She’s almost cartoonish in her zeal (and her sidekick-doll is iconic), but that cartoon energy makes her one of the most chaotic forces on the field — equal parts adorably earnest and horrifyingly violent. You can’t predict her mood because she genuinely believes every twist she makes is the moral choice, which is nuts and fascinating. Also she’s always tweeting moral hot takes in my head, 24/7.

Dr. Stylish

Stylish is the kind of suave psychopath that makes you admire his coat and then want to vomit — impeccable taste, surgical calm, and a real love for the macabre. He’s elegant and theatrical, like a Victorian barber crossed with a serial killer chef, always with the tiniest ironic smile as he experiments on people (ugh). He treats anatomy like a puzzle and aesthetics like gospel, combining class and horror in a bafflingly chic package. He’s creepy, smart, and weirdly obsessed with beauty standards — razor-sharp scissors and impeccable manners. Side note: probably collects pocket watches or human-shaped teapots? Both, maybe.

Sheele

Sheele is the gentle giant with the biggest heart wrapped in the most awkward exterior — clumsy, kind, and lethal when it matters, wielding enormous scissors like a sleepy gardener. She’s soft-spoken and dreamy, the kind of person who cries at sunsets and accidentally destroys furniture during fights (oops), but her loyalty is fierce and true. She’s tragic in a way that makes your chest feel tight, but also warm and tender, like comfort food with a blade. She’s sweet, absent-minded, and somehow the most heartbreaking hero you’ll meet. Also, she might misplace her own scissors weekly — adorable, chaotic.

General Liver

General Liver is classic bloated authority — pompous, cruel, and deliciously corrupt, strutting around like he owns the weather when he barely owns a conscience. He’s a walking scandal, always barking orders and making terrible decisions that ruin lives, but he also has that absurd bravado that makes him cartoonishly detestable. He acts like a war-hardened veteran but is mostly a coward in nice uniforms, which is kind of the worst combination. He’s deliciously loathsome and archetypically villainous, the kind you love to hate (and secretly hope gets his comeuppance). Tiny oddity: he smells like expensive cologne and poor morals.

Chelsea

Chelsea is the glam-shifting spy with a love for theatrics — playful, flirtatious, and absurdly good at pretending to be anyone (including a barista with secrets). She’s glossy and stylish on the surface but sharp as a tack underneath, using disguises and tea-time banter to get what she wants, and she does it all with a wink. She has a soft spot for subtler forms of rebellion and a surprisingly tender side when she drops the act, revealing someone thoughtful and a bit lonely. She’s theatrical, clever, and a prankster at heart, but also scarily professional when stakes are high. And yes, she absolutely collects hats she never wears — too many hats, honestly.
