Their ending in the manga is...not so happy (I haven't seen the anime and am assuming you're not being sarcastic and they actually gave them a good ending in it).

They live and are part of the effort to provide relief to the populace after the Revolutionary Army takes over.

These three appearing at the end made my heart warm; kinda glad the show skipped their little manga side-chapter.

I did not read their side chapter. I am guessing they died somehow.

I thought it happened in a main chapter. When they visit Bols' grave, the mom gets raped and murdered by the pirate, the child the same by the pedo clown.

Wrong one, you're talking about Bors' family. He's talking about three random girls who show up and are horrifically tortured/raped/etc. in typical AgK fashion in a side chapter that ends with Leone killing the guy who did it to them.

Apparently the author does regret killing all of those people. With him pretty much saying "It seemed like a good idea at the time. In hindsight it was not."

Oh. I didn't realize since I didn't read any of the side chapters either. And have terrible reading comprehension.

I wonder how much input the author had on those last episodes. Since the manga is still going. Possibly a hint on what's to come?

The last episode seemed rushed. Esdeath with all her power died too quick. she can kill a whole army with a brush of her hand but she doesn't seem to go that route with Akame? I know Akame is an awesome assassin but still. They made Esdeath seem almost too powerful in every other episode and Akame showed me nothing that I can think of for me to think she could kill Esdeath in like 10 minutes. I know Esdeath used her trump card and got fooled but even before that she should have been able to kill Akame without too much trouble. Akame always felt like a secondary character to me too so I never figured out why the show is named after her and why she is apparently so important. All she did was eat meat and kill lots of people and have a sister who was also raised as an assassin. Maybe I'm missing something that will be shown in the manga eventually?

akame was probably originally intended to have a larger role (most likely the main heroine) but the author changed their mind

probably because her power is bad to write fights for

For one, killing an entire army doesn't mean all that much in anime. Yeah Esdeath is powerful, moreso than anyone else alive, but she's not immune to Murasame's poison. She was significantly more powerful than Akame and pretty much destroying her in the first half of the fight, and it was Akame using her trump card that allowed her to keep pace with Esdeath and thus kill her.

0. The author tweeted that he had no input for the last 7 episodes, as it shows because the manga goes completely differently than the show starting at the Assassination plot.

I'm the lead trumpet player, playing loud and high is all I know how to do.

The last episode was certainly rushed, but at least it wasn't a complete trainwreck. Like successfully navigating a motorcycle over a tightrope; I'm not sure if it could have been better if it were slower without dramatically changing what was happening.

Genocyber

I don't feel it was rushed since that's kind of the pace the show has had going since the beginning, where poo poo will just end suddenly cause they managed to kill their target or w/e.

So have you guys been keeping up with the manga? I've seen quite a bit of criticism of the parts that happened with Mine and Pumpkin. I've read a few things criticizing the author because he wasn't capable of killing off his precious loli, and how some were happy that Pumpkin was destroyed. I'm actually a fan of Mine so I was a little relieved that she became a vegetable rather than dying. I also like Pumpkin so I was also a little bummed it got destroyed.

I also got major feels when Najenda acknowledged feelings for Lubo after his death.

Also, the ending of the most recent chapter with alchemy girl........

from the moment tatsumi started dating mine i figured she'd die in a really gross and over the top way to give tatsumi ~pain~ and i'd finally stop reading this series, but then that didn't happen which is why this is trashy nonsense I enjoy reading as opposed to plain old trashy nonsense.

especially because most people seem to not like Mine because she and tatsumi started dating like normal people, which is actually the best part

I hope this ends in at least three or four of them living long enough to sail off to untroubled lands like Akame wants, they deserve to have a vacation forever after all the poo poo they've been through. I got really emotional about both sides talking about all their dead friends from previous chapters.

that's one of the things this this manga dose well. I got a major feeling though that Tatsumi is not going to be on that boat

If any other series gave their protagonist a dangerous power-up and said that it was possible for him to master it with time and patience but he'd most likely die, I'd flat-out assume it would end up going with the former. Here? It could be either one, it's legitimately tense.

Bah, if you're going with that route you should go full TTGL and have him die within seconds of the ring exchange.

And they can go Jetman and have Leone die on the way to the ceremony for no particular reason.

If you mean the original title I came up with, it was because Akame Ga Kill's first few episodes gave me some tremendous Zvezda vibes. "Evil" organization living together, working together, day-to-day making dinner and the like. The Berserk vibes come from watching people getting dismembered and killed off quite easily and regularly.

If you mean 'naked kids loving' then I don't know either, but it disturbs me.
