Villain Overview

It seems if you want to kill me… You’ll have to at least do something like squash my heart or separate my head from my body.
~ Kurome
Endings are too short by definition. Bye bye.
~ Kurome
We Jaegers will hunt down anyone who disturbs the peace! No matter who that might be!
~ Kurome
You really shouldn't take your eyes off of me completely. Because if there's an opportunity, I'll attack as much as I can. Until you all die.
~ Kurome

Kurome is a supporting antagonist in the manga/anime series Akame Ga Kill! and the deuteragonist in the prequel manga Akame Ga Kill! Zero. She is Akame's younger sister and the second strongest of the Jaegers after General Esdeath, capable of taking on the entirety of Night Raid with her Yatsufusa and almost winning. She is also the only person that can clash swords with Akame and come out unscathed with no allies or supernatural assistance.

She was voiced by Ayaka Ōhashi in the original Japanese version of the anime, and Juliet Simmons in the English dubbed version of the anime.

Appearance[]

Kurome is a young girl with short black hair and black eyes. She wears a black sailor uniform and a wears a red belt that has a red side skirt cover like Akame. Her shirt is slightly too short as it doesn't cover her belly button. She also wears red gauntlets like Akame. She keeps her Teigu with her at all times, and wears it with long black socks and black shoes.

Kurome with her sister Akame, along with other children sold

Kurome was born into a poor family. At some point in her childhood, her parents sold her and her sister Akame to the Empire. The sisters were forced to participate in a cruel exam in which they were put inside of a forest inhabited by many Danger Beasts and forced to survive and escape the forest. Of the 100 children participating in the exam, Kurome and her sister were among the few who managed to survive. After the two little girls survived by working together, they were drafted into different assassination divisions (because of their superiors' reluctance to keep sisters in one group).

Kurome first mission

Kurome's first mission.

After joining her division, Kurome was subjected to cruel treatment and forced to ingest experimental drugs, making her body more powerful. Dr. Stylish developed a poison that mimicked the effects of the disease Rubeola and made a deal with Kurome's superior to exchange for 10 male prisoners. Stylish's poison would be used on Kurome's group's first official mission. The targeted city was poisoned with this fake Rubeola, forcing the Revolutionary spies to flee. Kurome's group was tasked to intercept these spies as they left the city. The group waited for their targets to arrive and finally spotted them, taking their doping pills to enhance their strength as they began their attack. The group initially had the advantage against the spies, but soon the tides began to turn, when Remus was wounded grievously and Wu Ming was killed by manner of bisection. Heavily wounded and distraught by the death of their comrade, the group returned to base, where they were treated cruelly and locked up. The group's leader withheld their medication and told them to reflect on their failures in punishment. The leader then headed to the infirmary and inquired about the status of "number 32," but a female doctor informed him that Remus was wounded so badly she would never be able to be an assassin again. He then enters the room where Remus attempts to apologize for her failure, but the leader injects her with a vial, euthanizing her.

Events of Akame Ga Kill![]

Kurome and Natala.

While Akame eventually became aware of the Empire's evil nature and left it to join Night Raid, Kurome did not have this option due to her constant need to rely on medicinal drugs, which only the Empire could supply her. Eventually, after having participated in a slaughter with several Empire soldiers, she was given an order to join the Jaegers. She later cooperated with the rest of the Jaegers to annihilate a militia group as their first assignment, but was evidently disappointed in the level of her opponents.

After the fight between Shura and Wave, Kurome displays confidence of her companion's strength by claiming that he will win. After the result of the fight, Kurome and Wave listen to Run's plan to change the Empire from the inside. Just as Run is heading to Wild Hunt's station to take revenge on the one who killed his students, Kurome interrupts him and joins him, claiming that they are no help to the empire in any way.

The two work together for vengeance, with Run luring Champ out of the base and Kurome preventing Cosmina and Enshin from intervening. Kurome summons Natala and Doya to attack them, with Enshin amputating both of Doya's hands and slicing Natala. Two Danger Beasts, summoned by Kurome are easily defeated by the sound waves produced by Cosmina's microphone Teigu. This attack is blocked by Kurome by covering her ears as she cuts Enshin on his back. She then gets corned by the Wild Hunters but just as they attack, Run lifts her up with the help from his Teigu. Run and Kurome get trapped in a whirlwind by Champ's elemental teigu, Run protects Kurome during a fire explosion - taking a lot of damage. The two fall to the ground. Night Raid intervene and Akame and Kurome have a short confrontation, Akame questions why the Jaegers are attacking Wild Hunt. Kurome claims that they were disturbing the peace and prepares to fight Night Raid. Run shoots feathers at Night Raid which are blocked by Tatsumi and the two flee together.

As Run falls, accepting his death with a smile, a mentally unstable Kurome rejects the thought of her comrade dying. Shedding tears, she says: "If Run's gone, Wave will be sad! I don't want you to go too...Let's stay together for a while longer." She stabs Run with her Teigu, who shows a face of despair at her choice, enslaving Run and turning him into her corpse. Kurome stops crying and smiles, happy to keep her comrade "alive," even if he won't be the same. Eventually, Kurome comes to fight against Akame but Wave interrupts the fight, confessing his love for Kurome and destroying her Teigu to end the fight. The two then defect from the Empire and are seen eating cake.

In the manga, she survives the war and the collapse of the Empire, but she will be haunted by the ghosts of victims she killed for the rest of her life and is observed closely by Wave.

Personality[]

Sistersreunited

Kurome reconciles with her sister Akame.

Kurome seems to hate her sister for betraying the Empire, or more specifically, betraying her, yet claims that she still loves her, calling Akame her "beloved older sister." Although she shares some traits with her sister, such as her social awkwardness and her gluttonous desire to eat candy (in place of the meat that Akame is shown to eat), she is much more aloof and seems to show a darker side when it comes to killing her enemies. She is cold and ruthless in battle, usually ending the lives of her enemies as one would expect from a seasoned assassin.

Secretly, she is very scared of being seen as weak, knowing that, in the Assassination Division, if she became dead weight she'd be taken out to keep her silent. This has a lingering effect of her upbringing, as she almost did suffer this fate, were it not for the drug therapy she later underwent. She has shown this side of herself, unintentionally, to Wave, who she seems to have developed some trust towards in comparison to the other members of Jaeger.

Kurome kills Run.

She holds some form of unstable mental attachment to her fallen comrades as she keeps them as her corpse dolls. This warped psyche was most likely fueled by the empire; as claimed by Run before being enslaved. When Run was severely injured and about to die, she states that it allows them to be "together forever", and she intends to add her sister to this collection. She also seems to play with the corpses of those she has killed, as well as keeping powerful ones to use in her permanent collection which is limited to 8.

She was initially introduced as the ruthless and psychopathic assassin whose main goal in life was being her older sister's sole murderer. Eventually, with her interactions within the Jaegars and Wave's compassion, she begins to show a kinder and sweeter side behind closed doors. This change is lamp-shaded by Run, when she encounters Akame for the third time, announcing her intent to take her down for the sake of the people, and not her deep-seated grudge towards her. This is unfortunately averted, as when Run is slowly dying from his wounds obtained in their battle against Wild Hunt, she unexpectedly decides that instead of letting Run die peacefully, she'll Mercy Kill him and force him to continue living as one of her corpse puppets.

Equipment & Skills[]

Kurome wields an offensive Teigu like her sister, in the form of a sword named "March of the Dead: Yatsufusa", which allows her to enslave up to 8 enemies killed with the Teigu. However, the corpses do not show any emotion. She is extremely skilled in the art of the sword and assassination, and she was able to land a hit on Esdeath. After Chelsea wounded her, Kurome has been visibly more tired and weaker in combat. A notable example is when she fought the entire Night Raid she was able to summon and control eight corpse puppets and still have the strength to fend off Akame simultaneously while largely keeping the pace of the battle. After the failed assassination she can barely summon two puppets, and is suffering from a potentially Incurable Cough of Death; thus losing a subsequent battle of speed against Akame, resulting in the death of Bolic.

The following corpses have been used by Kurome:

Available Corpses[]

  • Natala: The corpse of one of Kurome's childhood friends that wields an unnamed Teigu. He is one of the two corpses that remained after the battle against Night Raid along with Doya.
  • Doya: A former assassin from the Northern Tribes that dual-wields pistols. Like Natala, she is one of the two corpses that remained after the battle against Night Raid. Her arms were later cut off by Enshin and it is unknown whether or not they will be repaired.
  • Run: A fellow comrade in the Jaegers. He still wields his teigu but his wings have turned black.

Destroyed Corpses[]

  • Woll: A former famous guardsman. He has a shield with a hidden lance in it that can be fired. He was destroyed by Bols' Teigu's self-destruction.
  • Apeman: A Danger Beast that resembles a gorilla, using brute physical strength to destroy its opponents. It was destroyed by Tatsumi.
  • Hentarr: A former survivor of the Northern Tribes. He has tricky movements and a knife, but was destroyed by Chelsea, who tricked him into believing that she was also a survivor before assassinating him.
  • Rokgough: A former general that tried to betray the Empire to join the revolutionaries. He wields a whip and can shake the earth with it. He was destroyed by Najenda, who seemed to have trained under him.
  • Destaghoul: An ultra-class danger beast. It seems to have a destructive breath and is extremely powerful. However, Susanoo managed to destroy it.
  • Kaiser Frog: A large, frog-like Danger Beast that can control its long tongue. It also has powerful acid in his stomach, although it did little to Mine besides dissolve her stockings before she destroyed it.
  • Two unnamed danger beasts: They were both easily destroyed by Cosmina.

Relationships[]

Akame[]

Main Article: Akame

Kurome wants to kill her, and vice versa. They are sisters grew up together as assassins after being sold by their parents. Before they were assassins, it was depicted that both of them were very close; neither of them were willing to leave from each other when they were notified that they would be receiving their training separately. In Chapter 66, her final battle with Akame was stopped by Wave, and Kurome and Akame were able to reconcile now that Kurome has a chance to survive for the future. They rekindle their sisterly love for one another before Kurome leaves with Wave.

Wave[]

Main Article: Wave

They are friends to an extent, and play chess together during their free time. Though she does not talk much, Kurome is usually seen walking with Wave. Whenever Wave's attempt to comfort a teammate fails, she pats him on the shoulder. Their relationship has developed further following Kurome's assassination attempt; she confides her fear of being killed for being weak and useless to him, and thanks him for his concern. She even expresses real concern when Wave is near his breaking point for the actions of Wild Hunt, and when he angered Syura. Following Wave's fight with Syura, she shows signs of romantic affection toward him by tending to his wounds, and was very grateful for him when he protected her from Syura, who attempted to take her as his personal toy. Wave's determination to protect Kurome clashes with her desire to fight Akame, culminating in her kissing Wave at one point to distract him from upcoming confrontation. Wave however manages to prevail against the arranged fight and manages to win Kurome over, with the two properly forming a relationship and defecting from the Empire together.

Run[]

Mai Article: Run

In Chapter 48, Run and Kurome work together to get revenge on Wild Hunt. They display great teamwork and loyalty to one another, as he is able to save her multiple times. When he is about to die, Kurome could not bear to lose her comrade, so she turned him into a puppet.

Bols[]

Main Article: Bols

Kurome and Bols had a very friendly relationship for being members of the same team. Both were targeted for assassination, and Bols was killed. Kurome became enraged and ordered her puppets to brutally kill Chelsea for Bols's death.
