Kill the Lust for Combat.Episode Description:
As Mine has her arm fully recovered, she sees Tatsumi and Night Raid member Lubbock doing pushups with Akame and Leone literally on their backs. Najenda assigns Akame as temporary leader before planning to leave to recruit new members. Meanwhile, the Jaegers (Wave, Kurome, Seryu, Dr. Stylish, Run and Bols) assemble and Esdeath brutally introduces herself as the leader of this group, whose mission is to hunt down the enemies of the Empire. Lubbock invites Tatsumi and Leone into his library, where he explains that Najenda was disgusted with Esdeath's excessive cruelty against the southwestern tribal army many years ago. Esdeath sponsors a tournament, secretly to find her marital suitor. Tatsumi enters the tournament under the guise of a blacksmith. After Tatsumi flawlessly defeats a bullheaded opponent in the arena and wins the tournament, Esdeath suddenly becomes infatuated with his prowess. As she approaches him, she shackles him and takes him inside the palace. Akame, Leone, Mine and Lubbock learn about this and discuss whether or not they should rescue Tatsumi.
