![]() He defended the base during the bandits' attack and Dr. In Night Raid's hideout, Lubbock's main function was to keep watch of the perimeter using his threads. Later, he was introduced to the newly recruited Tatsumi while trying to peep on Leone. Lubbock appeared during the mission to assassinate Aria and her parents, creating a net out of his Teigu's threads for his group to stand on. He would also join her in her defection to the rebellion, even going as far as to risk his life to change the military records of both him and her to K.I.A. Using his talent, Lubbock rose through the ranks to the point where he could serve and be by her side. Falling in love at first sight, he left the life he had to get closer to Najenda and joined the army. During his childhood, he met Najenda, who had just moved into the region for the time. Lubbock was the fourth son born into a wealthy merchant family in a region of the Empire. He was incredibly loyal to Night Raid, as he refused to betray them, even after being tortured by Syura, claiming that his love for Najenda helped him withstand any pain. However, he was not too arrogant and was always ready to flee if he had too much of a disadvantage in battle. His playful and optimistic nature showed even during fights, and he would often tease his enemies and brag about his abilities. ![]() Despite this, he was careful not to let this get in the way of battle when fighting females. Lubbock was an easy-going individual who tended to be a pervert from time to time, including trying to peep on Leone while she was bathing. When in battle, he wore his Teigu ( Cross Tail) on his hands. He was occasionally seen wearing a long, black coat. ![]() He wore a long, green jacket with a fur-trimmed hood over a white and red ringer shirt and blue jeans with brown shoes. Ultimately, he was genre savvy enough to know the way the story was heading, and knew exactly when it was an ideal time to abandon ship and completely avoid fate.įrom my understanding, he does return to the action towards the end, but ultimately survives and returns to Kurome.Lubbock was a young man with shoulder-length green hair that covers his left eye, green eyes and red goggles on top of his head. Whereas Tatsumi accepted the showdown between Akame and Kurome as inevitable/foregone conclusion, that he had no say in the matter Wave pretty much said screw that and his ideals beat out Tatsumi's. He didn't let his moral/honor code get himself killed Stark style like General Budo, and he was perfectly willing to perform acts that some might be considered "dishonorable" if it meant protecting what he cared about. He worked for the villains, yet was the most heroic and idealistic character there. Wave however, pretty much gave a big F you to the entire story. Everyone who fights for what they believe in must be willing to die to make it happen. The story has pretty much established that the world is cruel, you either break and give in to the darker sides of your personality, or become a dark brooding anti-hero. The reason I like Wave is how much he breaks the themes of the story. He also pretty much pushed Akame into a supporting role, and completely limited her interactions with tatsumi, as if he was scared they would end up being more interesting as a couple (which obviously they would, since it would completely locked in the mirror theme between Tatsumi/Akame and Wave/Kurome the latter of which had some of the best interactions in the entire series). Mine was so useless to the story, she ended up in a coma and didn't wake up at all until the epilogue.ĭespite a total lack of chemistry, the writer pushed the Mine romance so hard he had to come up with contrived plot tools like them being tied by the "red string of fate" and other such nonesense. She was practically the blandest stock character in the entire cast, yet for some reason the writer made her Tatsumi's love interest instead of Akame, the actual title character. All you learn about Wild Hunt is that they are made up of a bunch of superpowered, pedophile, rapist, serial killers.Īnother example of the writer valuing what's "unexpected" over what makes sense for the story, was using Mine as a love interest. They show up, then get slowly killed off. They had none of the moral complexities of the Jaegers, and pretty much existed solely to be a hate-sink. Most of them were evil, but all of them had different redeaming qualities.Īs their members dwindled, the writer ended up bringing in this brand new group called "Wild Hunt". The Jaegers were a fairly well developed group of morally complex characters.
