Biography 1

Esdeath was born in the Northern Borderlands and is the sole survivor of her village, the Parthas Clan. She spent most of her childhood in the north with her tribe and was very close to her father, the clan's chieftain, due to her mother's death at the hands of a super-class Danger Beast. Even at such a young age, she was a skilled and fearsome fighter. Whenever she caught prey for the tribe, her father would begin to disembowel the creature without killing it. This made her comfortable with the idea of ​​inflicting pain on living creatures. However, her father worried that it would drive her insane. However, he pushed such thoughts aside. Her father told her that in the North, "the strong live and the weak die," a credo she held close to her heart. One day, she returned from a campaign to find her tribe wiped out, everyone either dead or dying. Her father was fatally wounded and died in her arms shortly after. From that day on, she vowed to become stronger. She later joined the Empire's military, quickly rising through the ranks, and at some point, the Prime Minister allowed her to choose a teigu. She noticed one that was chained off from the others, felt it calling to her, and chose it. Instead of drinking one glass, which would have been enough, she drank the entire thing. By "taming" the teigu, Esdeath earned the title of the strongest in the Empire.

Biography 2

After receiving her teigu, she later learned of General Liver's imprisonment and freed him. She was later ordered by the Empire to go with the Boss and "make an example" of the Ban Tribe, who had rebelled against the Empire. Using her mastery of ice, she froze an entire river that cut off her army from the tribe's main village, and using this makeshift ice bridge, crossed it and defeated them, capturing their chieftains. She then ordered her army to "plunder this city until [they] are satisfied", which resulted in the massacre of civilians and the burning of the village to the ground. She forced the chieftains to watch their village being destroyed to show them what would happen in the future if they disobeyed the Empire. Some time after this, she was ordered to subjugate the northern tribes. Her forces defeated them faster than anyone expected. During this conquest, she buried 400,000 soldiers alive and broke the sanity and pride of the hero Numa Seiki by forcing him to strip naked and lick her boots before killing him. After returning to the capital, Esdeath declared that she wanted to love someone. She provided the Emperor and Prime Minister with a short, yet incredibly specific list of demands for what an ideal man should be. At Honest's request, she sent the Three Beasts to lure out Night Raid by having them kill his political enemies. Following the death of her three bodyguards at the hands of Tatsumi and Bulat, Esdeath created a new group of Teigu wielders, which she later dubbed the "Jaegers", to hunt down members of Night Raid and maintain peace and order throughout the empire.

Biography 3

After the creation of the Jaegers, Esdeath holds a tournament to determine a new owner for the Teigu that was given to her by Shilly after her death. Esdeath also takes advantage of the event to find a suitable boyfriend who will meet her requirements. Tatsumi enters the tournament to gather information and, if he wins, receive money to send to his village. His incredible skill and bright, warm smile catches Esdeath's attention, and she instantly falls in love with him, completely oblivious to the fact that everything about him gives away the identity of a member of Night Raid. After snapping a collar around his neck, Esdeath drags Tatsumi to her bedroom. Tatsumi tries unsuccessfully to lure Esdeath into Night Raid. His attempts to convince her to leave the empire are in vain, and Esdeath sternly states that it is she who will change and control him, not the other way around. After spending several days with the Jaegers, Tatsumi barely escapes from Esdeath and Wave, who has spotted Incursio and believes that Bulat is after them. After losing Tatsumi, Esdeath begins to feel depressed and notices a change in herself when she was on night patrol and went outside because of the beautiful moon. This was very uncharacteristic of her. As she was doing a flyby of the wild mountains, she noticed a figure on the mountain. She jumped down to fight him, but found out it was Tatsumi, much to her joy (and his horror).

Biography 4

During their meeting, a mysterious man in a cloak appears. However, before Esdeath can attack or capture the man, he activates his Teigu, Shambhala, and instantly teleports Esdeath and Tatsumi to an unidentified southeastern island. On the island, they encounter dangerous monsters nearly identical to Dr. Stylish's final monster form, and using her Teigu, Demon Extract, she makes short work of the colossal dangerous monsters. Esdeath later sits down with Tatsumi to discuss their past, after which the mysterious Teigu user activates the previous portal, allowing Tatsumi to escape through it and return to the mountain. Esdeath pursues him, but loses sight of Tatsumi after he activates Incursio's invisibility ability and hides behind a rock. After Esdeath finished reminiscing and wondering where Tatsumi went, she received a message that Night Raid had been spotted on the outskirts of the Empire. She and the Jaegers headed there to wait for Najenda and her tricks. In the end, Night Raid ended up causing mayhem as their plan went awry and they even lost one of the Jaegers. Unfortunately for Esdeath, she was cleverly tricked and used to take out a large group of bandits.

Biography 5

Immediately following the battle on the outskirts of the Empire, Esdeath and her Jaegers were given a new assignment: guarding Bolik, an Imperial spy within the Path of Peace. The Jaegers were tasked with monitoring Bolik's well-being, assuming that Night Raid would attack. As predicted, Night Raid invaded. During the invasion, Esdeath displays exceptional skill that far exceeds that of a mere soldier (as befits the Empire's strongest). It is during the fight that she reveals her Demon Extract's trump card, Mahapadma, which can freeze time and space itself. After Bolik was successfully destroyed, Najenda activated Susanoo's ultimate ability, Magatama Manifestation, in an attempt to distract the enemies from escaping, intending to sacrifice herself and Susanoo. Esdeath attempts to stop Susanoo from throwing the Night Raid members out of the building, but fails. After Night Raid escapes, an enraged Esdeath strikes Susanoo and shatters its core, but Najenda revives her Teigu. A week later, Tatsumi and Lubbock were trapped in the palace. Tatsumi was attacked by numerous members of the Wild Hunt, who forced him to activate Incursio. Esdeath appeared and was shocked to realize that Tatsumi was a member of Night Raid. Tatsumi attempted to escape, successfully eluding the Wild Hunt members, but Esdeath stopped him by knocking him down and claiming that she would never let him escape again. Lubbock died in a fight with the Minister's son, and Tatsumi was imprisoned alive.

Biography 6

Esdeath tries to force Tatsumi to renounce the Night Watch to save his life, but he refuses. She then decides to execute him personally. The public execution is scheduled for the following day. During the execution, Night Raid invades the arena and saves Tatsumi. Esdeath engages Sussanoo, and in this battle, he finally dies, giving the others a chance to escape pursuit. After the revolution began, when the rebel army entered the capital, the main force was not Esdeath, but Emperor Makoto, who used the legendary Teigu, the existence of which was only vaguely legendary. Tatsumi destroyed the Emperor's Teigu, and, saving people from the collapsing giant, slowed its fall, receiving fatal wounds. He died in Akame's arms. Seeing Tatsumi dead, Esdeath declared that he died because he was weak. Akame decides to engage in a final battle with Esdeath, because as long as she is alive, the revolution cannot be defeated. Esdeath freezes the army and begins to fight Akame. But Akame uses her trump card and turns into a demon, increasing her speed tenfold. Realizing that she cannot cope, Esdeath uses her trump card and freezes time and space, piercing Akame in mid-air. But it turns out that it was not Akame, but an illusion. The real Akame struck from above, mortally wounding Esdeath. Admitting her defeat, Esdeath hugged Tatsumi's corpse, freezing it and herself, and then dispersing them into snow dust.

Abilities

Teigu She possessed a powerful Teigu called "Demon Extract", which allowed her to manipulate ice and create it out of nothing. With her ego and immense willpower, she was able to withstand the Teigu's overwhelming madness and gain its abilities. With it, she was able to create walls of ice, freeze people to death, and much more. When she was just starting out with her Teigu, she was able to freeze an entire lake in a few moments with her ability. And during her conquest, she was able to freeze thousands of rebel soldiers in an instant. However, after using the Teigu on such a large scale, she is unable to use it for a while and is forced to rest. Esdeath has developed many trump cards for her Teigu: Mahapdama / (Mahakadoma): Her first trump card, allowing her to freeze time, giving her the opportunity to make a decisive move during its effect. Esdeath has specifically noted that using this trump card takes too much energy from her, so she can only use it once a day. She has only used this trump card 3 times in her life. Ice Cavalry: Esdeath's second trump card, where she created an army of ice soldiers. Esdeath also mentioned that it took her several days to make the total amount of Ice Cavalry. Each of the Ice Cavalry also stores her energy, which she can draw on to empower herself and reveal her third trump card.

Abilities

Ice Commander in Chief: Stated as her third trump card (though not fully confirmed). She draws all of the stored energy from Ice Cavalry and amplifies her power. This ability allows Esdeath to release all of her stored energy into the atmosphere, effectively creating an artificial Russian winter that has been shown to be capable of covering landmasses the size of an entire continent. By successfully accomplishing this feat without showing any signs of fatigue, instead increasing her overall power due to the surrounding conditions, Esdeath now increases her mastery over ice, confirming that Esdeath's power has already reached the level of a cataclysmic natural disaster.

Physical skills

Esdeath was considered the best soldier in the Empire's army and one of the strongest in the world. She single-handedly defeated the entire Revolutionary Army, which consisted of over 100,000 soldiers, including ten Teigu users. Since her childhood as a hunter of the Dangerous Beast Tribe, Esdeath has become extremely skilled in the use of blades, such as hunting knives and daggers, which she used to butcher dangerous beasts for valuable materials. Growing up in a region with freezing temperatures, Esdeath, like the other members of her tribe, endured the harsh winters well. As a general of the Empire, Esdeath is an expert in the use of a rapier, capable of delivering swift, stabbing strikes that can dismember large dangerous beasts in the blink of an eye. Even without the aid of her Teigu, she could fight on equal terms with Akame and an Incursio-enhanced Tatsumi. Esdeath was an extremely skilled hand-to-hand combatant, possessing immense physical strength, agility, and speed, as well as immense stamina and endurance, such as being able to punch through a large portion of a mountain in her youth. She managed to kill several Teigu users using pure strength and skill. Esdeath has also demonstrated superhuman durability and endurance, as seen when she was able to easily take down hundreds of revolutionary soldiers single-handedly, and later was able to quickly move away from her "Intense Pressure" trump card and continue fighting. Even when she began facing Teigu wielders and later Akame, Esdeath was still able to dominate them during battles without showing signs of weakening, despite suffering significant injuries and fatigue.

Physical skills

Another testament to Esdeath's inhuman endurance has been her apparent ability to withstand Murasame's curse for extended periods of time. This is seen when, after Akame sliced ​​her right arm, Esdeath was able to withstand the curse despite the usually debilitating pain it causes the victim, rendering them unable to move or think clearly, and managed to activate Mahapadma to slow its effects before carelessly cutting off her infected arm. Later, after being fatally stabbed in the chest by Murasame's remaining blade and hilt, Esdeath showed that she was not only immune to the pain of the wound and the curse, but also strong enough to stand up, use and activate her own Teigu, and freeze herself and Tatsumi entirely, before crushing their bodies.

Mental abilities

Esdeath has also shown immense, monstrous mental fortitude and strength. This was first seen after she obtained her Teigu, the Demon Extract. It drives anyone who tries to drink even one glass of it insane. Only Esdeath was able to overcome the immense, madness-inducing destructive desires, voices, and whispers caused by this weapon and successfully "conquer" it and make it her own within seconds of drinking it. Something no human has been able to achieve since the Teigu's creation. Esdeath once again demonstrated her immense psychic power during the final stages of the revolution, when she did not panic at all due to being surrounded by hundreds of Revolutionary Army soldiers without any allies or support and remained calm while thinking through her battle strategy, and later when she was subjected to the Observer's Trump Card and placed in a powerful illusion, Esdeath easily maintained control of her psyche and was later able to break through her illusion with raw psychic power.

Other abilities

Esdeath had keen senses and was very aware of her surroundings, being able to detect someone's killing intent from a great distance, identify suspicious characters in a group, and also notice hidden people even if they were not within her line of sight. Her sense of smell was strong, as she was able to confirm Tatsumi's presence after checking his scent when she reunited with him on the mountaintop. She was considered a master strategist, possessing supernatural skills in psychological warfare. Esdeath has extensive knowledge of human physiology due to her long history as a torturer; this is seen when she dissected Chelsea's body after her death in search of anything revealing. Overall, she is quite intelligent and comes up with new torture methods and techniques, such as her trump card, Mahapadma. Due to her father raising her in the Parthas clan's lifestyle, Esdeath has also shown great skill in combat, subduing, and taming dangerous beasts, as seen from her easily hunting, tracking, and killing various dangerous beasts from an early age and showing great natural instincts in determining their actions, habits, and weaknesses. Esdeath has also shown to have the necessary skills to tame dangerous beasts and use them for transportation.

Relationship

Tatsumi After seeing Tatsumi's smile when he won the tournament, she instantly fell in love with him and said that he should be hers alone. Believing that he is the only one worthy of her love, she refuses to show romantic interest in anyone other than him. She showed slight concern when Tatsumi tried to convince her to join the revolutionary army, saying that it was understandable why people hated the Empire. Najenda Despite seeing her former partner as an enemy of the Empire, Esdeath still truly respects Najenda and sees her as a rival. Three beasts When the Three Beasts were killed, Esdeath saw it as something natural, as the weak are defeated by the strong, but still went and placed flowers on their graves and said that she would avenge them. Seryu Yubikitas Despite Esdeath's belief that only the strongest survive, she consoled Seryu after the loss of Doctor Stylish. After Seryu's death, Esdeath was disappointed because she saw that she had a lot of untapped potential. Ran Esdeath saw Ran as "useful" both as an asset in battle and as her personal assistant, having him perform various types of tasks. After his death, Esdeath swore revenge on the members of the Wild Hunt for killing him.

Character 1

Esdeath was a manipulative and barbaric sadist who had no empathy for people she considered weak, living by her father's philosophy ("The strong survive, and the weak die"). She enjoyed inflicting great pain on her enemies, both physically and emotionally. She had no qualms about killing innocent people to get what she wanted, and justified her behavior with her father's old credo. Esdeath was known to treat her subordinates well, allowing them to do as they pleased, which in turn earned them fierce loyalty and devotion to her; this made her followers the Empire's strongest offensive force. To her credit, Esdeath demonstrated genuine concern for her subordinates - particularly the Three Beasts and the Jaegers - and would not hesitate to allow them to kill Tatsumi if he ever threatened their lives. Esdeath loves to fight and has a special respect for strong opponents, as shown when she openly acknowledged Susanoo as a warrior rather than a mere Teigu. Her love of battle has sometimes inspired her to take actions that fuel hatred towards the Empire, in the hopes that it will be able to suppress further rebellions. She has even stated that if the Empire were to fall, she would start a war herself to satisfy her need for bloodshed. Despite her reputation, Esdeath had great charisma, capable of inspiring many to fight for her. Even Rune, who expected her to be a scumbag, softened his attitude towards her despite previously being wary of her sadism.

Character 2

Although she was unashamedly bloodthirsty, she did not allow it to dominate her judgment. If she saw that a battle was too hard for her soldiers, she would order a retreat and not risk more casualties. While she will torture subordinates who fail, she can be lenient towards unsuccessful servants as long as they are not complete failures, and will give them the benefit of the doubt if the failure was not their fault. However, during the final battle against the Revolutionary Army and the remaining members of Night Raid, it becomes clear that beneath this charismatic military officer lies a person of pure evil and bloodlust. This is proven when she uses her true trump card to cover the Empire in the Russian winter. Najenda noted that such a move puts Esdeath's subordinates at risk, as well as their families. Her response, which was that she did not care, again justifying it with her belief in Social Darwinism, showed her cruelty and corruption. Interestingly, despite this monstrous behavior, before the final battle, Esdeath spoke of dedicating the battle to the memory of the fallen Jaeger group - which is even more meaningful than her initial casual dejection after Seryu Yukibitas' death - internally, she admitted that she misses them greatly and imagines the entire group in her memory. This shows that, while she would put her people and their families at risk, she fondly remembers those who were more than lackeys and holds them in high regard; especially in comparison to the Three Beasts.

Appearance

Esdeath was a tall, beautiful, and slender woman with long, light blue hair and blue eyes. She wore a long-sleeved general's outfit with buttons on the shoulders, a blue scarf around her neck, and high-heeled boots. She also had a tattoo on her chest, which is the mark of her Teigu. In the anime, Esdeath was depicted with porcelain-white skin. As a child, she wore a black hairband with her clan's symbol and a white short-sleeved shirt with dark green trim.

Interesting Facts

She is the only survivor of the Parthas Clan. Esdeath kissed Tatsumi twice and said that her first kiss was with him. Her measurements are 87-54-85. "Esdeath" is a play on the words "S, Desu!" which means "I am a sadist." "Esdeath" may also be a play on the word "Ice Death". She has a book where she draws Tatsumi and also writes down ways to make a man fall in love with her. Her hobby is hunting dangerous animals. In one episode, she mentioned that she doesn't understand art, and doesn't understand anything about music. Esdeath's 5 conditions for the "ideal man" are: It must have great potential. He must be younger than her. He must not have been born in the capital. He must have experience in hunting Dangerous Beasts. He should have a genuine smile.
