The tangled relationship between Night Raid assassin Tatsumi and the Empire's sadistic general Esdeath had long captivated the eyes of countless worlds.
Just when everyone thought their… complicated tug-of-war would drag on forever, something unexpected happened.
The next morning, Tatsumi finally got his chance to run.
While teamed up with Wave, he quietly slipped away the moment his partner let his guard down.
Wave did catch on and gave chase—but thanks to the demonic armor's invisibility ability, Tatsumi managed to shake him off and reunite safely with Akame.
That night, Night Raid threw a celebration in honor of his return.
But danger always strikes when least expected.
The mad scientist Dr. Stylish, wielder of the Teigu God's Hands, traced the clues from Tatsumi's escape and launched an assault on Night Raid's base with his army of enhanced soldiers.
Under his meticulous planning, the group quickly found themselves on the defensive.
Then—just in time—Boss Najenda returned.
And she wasn't alone.
Two new allies came with her.
Among them, the human-shaped Teigu Susanoo immediately turned the tide with overwhelming power and precision.
Driven into a corner, Dr. Stylish unleashed his trump card—merging all of his cyborgs into a colossal danger beast that tore through the battlefield like a living disaster.
Its raw power was terrifying, but…
With the combined strength of Tatsumi, Susanoo, and Akame, the monster was finally defeated. Akame's blade Murasame pierced straight through Dr. Stylish's chest.
Evil, in the end, is always cut down!
In the Naruto world, the mad scientist Orochimaru shook his head in disappointment.
"Such a convenient Teigu, wasted on a fool. If God's Hands were mine, I'd show them real potential."
Meanwhile, in the One Man world, Lü Liang chuckled dismissively.
"'God's Hands'? Hah. Sounds flashy, but they're nothing compared to my Twin Perfect Hands."
In the Rain Village, Konan calmly analyzed the situation.
"Dr. Stylish, the Upper Moons under Muzan… they all lost for the same reason. They fought alone. If Stylish had teamed up with the Jaegers—or if the Upper Moons had worked together—there wouldn't be a Night Raid or a Demon Slayer Corps left."
Pain looked at her in silence.
"What are you suggesting, Konan?"
"That we change too," she replied. "The Akatsuki's two-person cells have served their purpose. We've nearly completed the Tailed Beast captures—it's time to unite our power. To move as one."
A single-player boss in a teamfight world—no wonder villains always lose.
And Konan, it seemed, had already seen the pattern.
In Konoha, Tsunade slammed her drink down.
"A humanoid Teigu that cooks, cleans, hunts, builds, and fights? Why don't we have something like Susanoo here? Shizune! Get me one of those, now!"
"L-Lady Tsunade! That's not how it works!" Shizune groaned, on the verge of tears.
A thousand watchers, a thousand takes—each world saw the battle differently.
But two newcomers drew nearly universal attention: Susanoo and Chelsea.
Susanoo for being the ultimate multifunction robot butler; Chelsea for being the adorable shapeshifting girl who could become anyone, anytime.
To marry Chelsea was to have a thousand wives in one—what gentleman could resist that?
Though she'd only just appeared, Chelsea's popularity was already skyrocketing.
The recap continued.
With Dr. Stylish dead, his hidden labs were uncovered by the minister's son, Syura. The horrors released from those labs sparked a new chain of brutal events.
The rise of humanoid danger beasts forced Night Raid and the Jaegers into a temporary, uneasy cooperation.
And then—by pure coincidence—fate brought two people face-to-face once more.
On a quiet patrol night, Tatsumi crossed paths with Esdeath, who had gone out for a stroll.
Their sudden reunion, after so long apart, electrified viewers across every world.
Something was about to happen.
And it did.
Thanks to Syura's spatial Teigu Shambhala, Tatsumi and Esdeath were suddenly warped away—straight to a remote southern island.
A deserted island.Just the two of them.
Every cliché box checked.
Then Esdeath, without warning, pulled Tatsumi in and kissed him.
The entire multiverse went wild.
Fanworks, fanart, and fanfics of their "island survival romance" exploded overnight.
"Heh… hehehehe…"
Blonde artist Eriri and reclusive illustrator Sagiri both giggled as they sketched with flushed faces.
"Eriri! Sagiri! Chill out already!"
Aki Tomoya and Masamune Izumi shouted in unison, exasperated.
But Tatsumi and Esdeath's "date" was anything but peaceful.
The island turned out to be another of Dr. Stylish's old test sites.
Two gigantic danger beasts emerged from the sea and the jungle, roaring so loud the earth itself seemed to shake.
Everyone watching knew how terrifying a giant danger beast could be—it had taken all of Night Raid's strength to bring one down before.
And now, only two people stood on that island.
Tatsumi couldn't even use his Teigu's demonic power without revealing his identity.
A hopeless situation?
Not quite.
Just as the watchers began to worry, the Empire's strongest woman finally stepped forward.
Esdeath smiled.
And when she made her move—
The entire multiverse held its breath.
"..."
