Tatsumi is the main protagonist of the manga series Akame ga Kill.
Background[]
Tatsumi grew up in a small village with his friends Sayo and Ieyasu. To help earn money for the village, Tatsumi and his friends were sent to a city in the Empire. After Tatsumi, Sayo, and Ieyasu set off on their journey, they become separated when attacked by bandits, leaving Tatsumi alone. After reaching the city, Tatsumi was invited by a wealthy girl named Aria to stay at her house, where he learned about the state of the empire, the corrupted Prime Minister, and about the assassination organization Night Raid from one of the guards of the house. Later, the mansion is attacked by Night Raid, with Tatsumi deciding to find and protect Aria. Tatsumi then tries to protect Aria from two members of Night Raid, before they open up her storehouse and reveal why they're hunting her. Apparently, her family likes to take in travellers before putting them in the storehouse and torturing them to death, with Sayo and Ieyasu being among her victims. Tatsumi then decides to dispose of Aria himself, followed by being offered by one of Night Raid's members, Leone, to join them. Still devastated over the death of his friends, Tatsumi was hesitant to accept Leone's offer to join at first. While the leader of Night Raid explained that they wouldn't kill him if he refused, they would still force him to work for them so he wouldn't tell anyone anything about them. After having Night Raid's goals revealed to him, Tatsumi agreed to join them.
Powers & Abilities[]
- Sixth Sense: Tatsumi, after training alongside Night Raid has agained a Sixth Sense, enabling him to be more aware of his surroundings.
- Swordsmanship:
- Woman Magnetism: Somehow got multiple multiple girls to have romantic feelings for him.
Equipment[]
- Sword: Tatsumi's original signature weapon, a regular short sword.
- Demon Armor: Incursio: Is an Armor-type Teigu that takes the form of a short sword with a chain link tassel in its sealed form. Once released, the user is enveloped in full body armor. Can turn the user who enveloped by the armor invisible for a certain amount of time, dependent on the skill of the user. The armor also enhances the user's physical prowess and is shown to be sentient in the manga. In addition, Incursio evolves every time it's passed onto another person to suit that person's fighting style, though it is possible for the wielder to force the armor to evolve by pushing it to its limits.
- Adaptation and Evolution: Its ability to evolve is also shown on several occasions. Once Tatsumi inherited Incursio, the Teigu went through an evolution in order to adapt to Tatsumi's fighting style and to exceed its previous limitations. The armor that enveloped him was noticeably less bulky then it was previously in order to fit Tatsumi's agile form. Tatsumi is able to sense that the armor, after its evolution, has new abilities that he had yet to discover. One example is the ability for Incursio to manifest the head of the Tyrant from any point on the armor to deflect bladed weapons, protecting the user from an otherwise decapitating blow. This was shown again in the second battle against Esdeath when Tatsumi pushed the armor to its limits, with assuming a new form. In this form, the armor is more segmented, has a more savage, reptilian-based shape with claws on the gauntlets and feet, as well as a secondary pair of eyes on the helmet and the Neuntote spear is much larger than before. As with this evolution, Tatsumi's speed and strength are even greater.
- Poison and Cold Resistance: Incursio has developed a resistance to the effects of poison and extreme cold.
- Time Stop Resistance: Incursio develops resistance to Esdeath's Time Stop, Makahadoma, in its second evolution and then demonstrates full immunity as Tyrant.
- Tyrant Manifestation: When Tatsumi is about to be attacked, Incursio can manifest Tyrant from part of itself to block the blow.
- Neuntote: An auxiliary weapon that can be summoned with Incursio. It resembles a lance or halberd, and is sharp enough to slice through Danger Beasts
- Trump Card: Invisibility: Incursio's Trump Card, allowing Tatsumi to be completely hidden from sight for a limited time. However, while he's completely and utterly invisible during said time, his "presence" is not masked. As a result, opponents who are able to detect and track bloodlust/killing intent or use other methods of tracking (i.e. an enhanced sense of smell) will only be marginally affected by this ability.
- Adaptation and Evolution: Its ability to evolve is also shown on several occasions.

Alternate Forms[]
Evolved Incursio 2[]
During his second fight with Esdeath, Tatsumi forced Incursio to evolve. This caused the armor to take on a more reptilian appearance, and Neuntote's blade to grow much larger. In this state, Tatsumi's speed and strength are much higher, letting fight both Esdeath and Budo to a standstill, and Incursio has evolved to resist the effects of Esdeath's Demon's Extract and her time-stopping Mahapadma ability. However, this also caused Incursio to begin fusing with Tatsumi, turning his right eye into Tyrant's.
Evolved Incursio 3[]
After sustaining critical damage from the Shikoutazer, Incursio evolved again, gaining enhanced strength and speed, regerative capabilities, and wings that Tatsumi could use to fly. However, this evolution caused half of Tatsumi's face to become reptilian, with scales, fangs, and a massive horn, with his hand becoming scaly and clawed.
Evolved Incursio 4[]
While fighting the Shikoutazer with Wave, Tatsumi evolved Incursio again, making it bulkier and giving it enough power to damage the Ultimate Teigu. Tatsumi fused even Tyrant even more in this state, with horns growing from both sides of his head and his hands becoming more reptilian.
Evolved Incursio 5[]
Incursio's final evolution, which Tatsumi used to destroy the Shikoutazer once and for all. However, he also lost control of himself multiple times while using it, and his body has fused with Tyrant so much at his point that he's not even considered human anymore. At this point, Tatsumi has lost all humanoid traits, with his body getting covered with scales, his mouth forming into a dragon's, and his teeth turning jagged and sharp. By remembering Bulat and his friends, Tatsumi managed to gain control of the evolution, giving him enough power to destroy the Ultimate Teigu with two hits. In this state, Tatsumi's strength even rivals Esdeath's.
Tyrant[]
After forcing Incursio to evolve so much to defeat the Ultimate Teigu, Tatsumi was completely consumed by Incursio, transforming him into Tyrant reborn. As the strongest class of Danger Beast, Super Class, Tyrant is an incredibly powerful monster. This new Tyrant resembles an armored dragon, resembling Incursio's second evolved form with added wings and tail, and is as large as a building. However, Akame was able to kill Tyrant's mind by cutting it with her sword, causing Tatsumi to regain control of himself.
Feats[]
Strength[]
- Killed an Earth Dragon with just his sword.
- Breaks through a fortress wall by running into it.
- Held up against people like Akame and Zanku without Incursio.
- Shattered a boulder with one punch while using Incursio.
- Is able to redirect an attack from Shikoutazer.
- Can trade blows with Esdeath.
- And keep in mind that Esdeath, and I'm not exaggerating when I say this, needed over 1,000,000 soldiers, and 10 Teigu users to defeat.
- Killed Nyau with one punch.
- Staggered the Shikoutazer with a punch.
- Evolved Form:
- Can create shockwaves that can destroy Esdeath's ice constructs.
- 3rd Evolution:
- Damaged the Shikoutazer.
- Final Evolution:
- Destroyed the Shikoutazer in two hits.
Speed[]
- Was fast enough to land a punch on Esdeath.
- Blitzed Cosmina who is hypersonic.
- Dodged Seryu's suicide explosion and bullets while carrying Mine.
- Has been shown to dodge lightning in his first evolution.
- Dodged a point-blank shot from the Teigu, Pumpkin, which fires concentrated shockwaves (typical shockwaves travel around 340 meters per second, though it could be even faster since this was a concentrated shot).
- And Tatsumi dodged this attack... WITHOUT INCURSIO... while also being... let's just say... caught off guard.
- 4th Evolution:
- Managed to weave around multiple supreme beams from Shikoutiezer.
- Even flying fast enough to just ram a hole right through it (Mach 39, equal to a Space Shuttle taking off).
- Managed to weave around multiple supreme beams from Shikoutiezer.
Durability[]
- Can take blows from Esdeath.
- Tanked Bols' flamethower attacks.
- Can survive lightning strikes and energy blasts.
- Survived a building collapsing on him.
- Caught one of the Shikoutazer's energy blasts.
Skill[]
- In his first fight against Night Raid's very own Akame, Tatsumi was able to hold his own despite not having a Teigu at the time... keep in mind Akame is a trained assassin with a Teigu blade that poisons whoever gets merely papercutted by it... (not bad for someone who came from a bum village)
- Can go toe-to-toe with some of the Empire's Elite Officers.
- One time he landed a hit against an elite who can read minds.
- Defeated Captain Ogre.
- Won Esdeath's tournament without weapons or Incursio.
- Defeated the Apeman with his bare hands.
- After Incursio's first evolution, fought with both Esdeath and Budo.
- Matched Wave and his Grand Chariot, which is said to be a much more advanced version f Incursio.
- Destroyed the Ultimate Teigu by forcing Incursio to evolve three times.
Weaknesses[]
- Tends to fight without much strategy.
- Tatsumi can only force Incursio to evolve for a total of 3-4 times before Tyrant takes him over completely.
- Can only maintain invisibility for a few seconds before tiring out... and using Incursio takes a lot out of him.
- Invisibility has a limited duration, forcing the armor to evolve and using it extensively afterward will lead eventually cause Incursio to consume him.
