4

Tatsumi learns of Zank the Executioner, a former dungeon executioner driven mad by killing innocents and now addicted to beheading victims. Zank wields Spectator, a powerful Imperial Arm strapped to his forehead that allows him to foresee opponent movements and project illusions of their loved ones. Night Raid is dispatched to eliminate him. During the mission, Tatsumi is separated by a vision of Sayo and severely injured by Zank’s foresight and mental attacks. Akame arrives to fight Zank, who attempts to distract her with an illusion of a past companion. Akame swiftly kills Zank, stating she must end the life of the one she loves most quickly. As he dies, Zank thanks Akame for silencing the voices of his victims that drove him insane. Akame then tends to Tatsumi’s wounds.
