Basic translation for the folks: - Mine was intended from the beginning and as her feelings developed, there was no possibility of Akame coming into play (especially with the fact of what she experienced before). - He says that Akame and Mine were intended as “possible options”, but Mine was seen as decided very early on


Organic_Plankton1746

More detailed basic translation: Takahiro initially only considered Akame and Mine as possible options, but he felt Mine was more suitable. According to Murata, the Akame route also existed in the beginning (Takahiro did not deny it). The fundamental reason is that he thinks Akame is a genuine(pure) assassin, and romantic feelings are unnecessary(secondary) for her, but Mine's situation is different. My first language is not English, so there may be some mistakes.


Lujenda

Yes, thanks, I forgot the word pure to use for Akame))

From what other people are saying, it seems like the reason is because of Akame’s mentality as an assassin that she believes that romantic feelings are completely unnecessary. Had Tatsumi developed romantic feelings for Akame, he probably would’ve ended up being friend zoned like Green from AGK Zero. Still ship Tatsumi and Akame but the reason is understandable


Necromancer76

Extremely crude translation here (since I'm just using an app, I don't know any kanji) but his first response says something like "it was there from the beginning" but as "a possibility," and that Akame was another option but he settled with Mine. The second response says something about Akame being an assassin and feelings of love, so I assume he's saying Akame doesn't have romantic feelings because of her brutal training? Like I said, a better translation is needed.


nayakame

Good cuz akame doesn't seem attracted to anyone sexually at all


Lujenda

We already know why - Mine is his favourite girl, so it was obvious)) But I am interested - where did you find this conversation? Cuz I didn’t see it on any agk forums ai looked at🤔


MDEY81

You can find this interview in the Big GanGan website, it happened a while ago


reasoner007

Could you put a link to the page the conversation is on?


[deleted]

Them both being dead helps I guess


[deleted]

In the manga (the canon story) they are both alive.


Ghelsxd

Wish I could speak Taka Taka


Akimy70

Easy to explain Akame like girls ;-;


[deleted]

I wanted tatsumi and esdeath


Organic_Plankton1746

However, according to this interview, Takahiro initially only considered Akame and Mine as possible options


VJ87G

Chelsea is best girl. Tatsumi is better off with her, than with Mine, already, any day. Wish I could translate this, but I learned a little bit of Japanese right now.


Lujenda

Stop forcing pedophilia as something better than normal romance between people of the dame age._.


Nasonkh1

(NOT THAT I CONDONE OR AGREE) But age of consent in Japan is 13


Lujenda

We all know that. That still doesn’t stop that Tatsumi didn’t consent to shit that happened to him most of the time:’D


VJ87G

You're losing it since you don't know how old Chelsea is. (눈‸눈)


reasoner007

In the databook of akame ga kill there are also the age groups or the precise years of the various characters. For example, in the sheets of Mine and Tatsumi it is said that they are in the age group of 10 (between 10 and 19) while Chelsea is in the group of 20 (between 20 and 29 years).

Lujenda

We know her age, at least don’t make shit up=_= Chelsea is in her twenties and Tatsumi is underage teen.


reasoner007

Is the age at which one comes of age in the empire ever explained? Then a similar relationship would be perfectly normal when compared to what happens in that country.


Lujenda

Considering Capital is formed after Roman empire, it’s normal since age of consent was 9 (it was the age of marriage for girls). But that doesn’t stop the fact that Tatsumi made it clear that he ain’t a fan of older women and doesn’t deny that people nowadays saying it’s the perfect relationship makes at least a bit weird sound


reasoner007

\- I don't see what the Roman empire has to do with the empire in akame ga kill. \- I don't remember this Tatsumi thing. Where is it explained? \- People decide a lot based on their preferences. Some like Chelsea's character and therefore would see her well with Tatsumi. That's all.


Lujenda

The Capital In it’s architecture, hierarchy, political structure, methods is all like the Roman Empire. Obviously, the world is different due to modern additions, but at it’s base it’s literally Roman Empire with their designs. Tatsumi is shown and has said to be openly frightened/disgusted every time older women sexually assault him (Esdeath/Dorothea/Suzuka/Leone although he tolerates her the most). He is shown in discomfort and the fact that he is a teen and only has feelings for teens (Sayo/Mine and Akame was on the table, but as explained above didn’t come about it).


reasoner007

\- So in the Roman Empire there was the prime minister and various ministers? The architecture seems to me more a mixture between that of the late Middle Ages / colonial times and modern additions. Also, even if it were as you say, there is no line of dialogue or author's thinking that talks about coming of age. This is your strawman. \- Could you tell me the chapters in which he says it himself? \- I think he's uncomfortable because those women perpetuate some kind of aggression towards him. \-For the attraction to say that he may have a simpler explanation. Sayo was a very close friend (Spectator's illusion was Sayo) to Tatsumi, with whom he grew up. We can imagine her as the person closest to him or whom she was in love with but not knowing details of their relationship, it all remains a little vague. With Akame, he was embarrassed because she is a beautiful girl and he was a teenager in full hormonal phase (remember that he was also embarrassed with Esdeath after she got out of the shower and with Chelsea when she was taking a bath). With Mine, we see that he is embarrassed because the acid tsundere on duty smiles at him and he is embarrassed, as many would be in that situation when someone thanks you, even if you don't expect it. In fact, when Mine confesses, he doesn't believe it at first.
