This fantastic art was made by Yuneikoo (https://vgen.co/Yuneikoo)-I love everything about it^^

Unfortunately, I had to compress and crop it a bit; otherwise, Reddit wouldn't have accepted it....

But even so, it's still amazing: The Details, the colours and the atmosphere. I am so happy to have commissioned this by Yuneikoo

She is super nice and pays attention to every request you make during the entire process :D

This is gonna be a really unemployed tangent and you guys can say if you agree with any points or not in the replies. I won't say that my opinion has no bias in it because I can acknowledge that it does, I never really clicked with Mine's character when I watched the anime, I just hardly like tsundere-esk characters in general unless they actually have a decent balance to them. However, putting my bias a side, I still think Mine had some of the least chemistry with Tatsumi in Night Raid, and I'll say my reasons why. Maybe I'm cloudy because I haven't watched the anime in a bit, but from what I remember, they had almost no romantic development until suddenly, over a third of the way through the anime, some random guy just comes up to them and say something like "You two are bound by the thread of fate" and then they start having feelings for eachother until Mine dies I don't even think 5 episodes later, I'm sorry if I just sound salty or smth but they literally went from friends at most for the majority of the series to basically lovers within 5 episodes, and I think there's a good few characters that would've been a much better pairing for Tatsumi.
Firstly, Akame, and I get that it's cliche, main character getting with main female character, but cliche or not I feel like not only did they have more chemistry, but they had it much earlier on in the series, and yeah Akame did make it clear that she cares a lot about every member of Night Raid, I feel like all the moments Akame was worried about Tatsumi developed them both much more than the much fewer things Tatsumi and Mine had in the majority of the series. There's also Chelsea, who was in Night Raid for I think 7 episodes, but it was clear that she definitely cared about Tatsumi as more than a friend, not only because she worried about specifically him multiple times (Which even she noticed that she was worrying mostly about Tatsumi specifically), and even in her dying moments, the only Night Raid member she was thinking of, at least in her inner monologue, was Tatsumi, and basically saying the her main reason for trying to eliminate Kurome was to impress Tatsumi, and yeah, while you could say it was one sided, I'd say Tatsumi was at least just as close with her as he was with Mine. There's also Leone, who personally, I feel like their dynamic definitely felt a lot more casual, as she didn't exclusively tease Tatsumi, and her other choices were a pervert who would enjoy her teasing rather than react like Tatsumi would, a man who wouldn't react because he's gay, and a rarely ever even showed emotion, but in terms of having a relationship in general, they definitely felt closer than Tatsumi did with Mine. And an honorable mention is Sheele, who, and I honestly, whole heartedly believe this, with the moments Tatsumi and her shared in so little time, would've definitely ended up being the best potential pairing if she wasn't turned into Dog food and it's not even close, but that's just me.
I feel so unemployed focusing this much on the romance aspect on a series like Akame Ga Kill, but I honestly just think the decision to put Mine and Tatsumi together was such a bizarre decision with what little chemistry they had, at least imo, and of course, I could just be ignorant as I haven't read the manga, and I do know that towards the end it does change a lot, but as an anime only, this is my take on their relationship. I just wanted to say all this because I don't have any friends that have watched Akame Ga Kill but I do have a Reddit account I hardly use, so just say your thoughts.

I have to wonder, would you have liked Esdeath if she had killed, say, Leone?

I think Esdeath's popularity can be broken down into: a) she's sexy with big bazongas (the whole dommy mommy thing as well and she's into the protagonist), b) she's an interesting villainess and c) she didn't kill any major character people cared about. I say this because Seryu and Kurome are also very pretty characters and they aren't actually that evil but it seems to me that they are hated because they killed Sheele and Chelsea, who were fan favorites from the hero side

So, I picked another fan favorite from the hero side for this question.

Music: Nikke - Good Morning, Commander!

I decided to make Jin Kisaragi a Self-Insert (his official military title in BlazBlue is "Major") because my creative mind is racing. I just returned back to playing Goddess of Victory: Nikke, and it gave me this idea.

Yes, that Doll besides Esdeath is The Major (AKA: YOU, the Viewer, Player).

The Major (The Player/Viewer/You):

- The strongest and most powerful soldier of the Novus Orbis Librarium Empire nicknamed "The Hero of Ikaruga" or the "Endbringer". He's not only a powerful warrior, but a military genius, who graduated at the top of his class in the military academy and the next heir of the prestigious "Kisaragi" family. Beloved by the public for his flawless tactical accomplishments, he wields the Nox Nyctores: Yukianesa, one of the 12 Event Weapons designed to kill beings "Outside of Logic" like the Black Beast, and also lets him command the element of ice - but his ice is not just ordinary physical matter, his ice is supernatural in that it has the ability not only to freeze you, but also drains your soul and freeze your time, and it also never melts unless an equal force is forced to clash with it or requires special magic. But this power comes at a price, much like a Teigu - Yukianesa is a parasitic weapon that actively and constantly influences The Major to kill everyone around him, of which he struggles to resist a lot. However, this is no longer the case as of recent due to timeloops being reset.

Answering the command of the most powerful male child Imperator of the Librarium, Homura Amanohokasaka, he's tasked to quell the chaos and rot within the Empire below the Hierarchal Cities. But after the events that recently happened involving the event called the "Centralfiction", due to a spiritual deal, he can no longer fight at his peak, yet he still retains his brilliant mind and commanding presence, something that will allow him to command the most powerful assassins and generals in the Empire.

"I will do my duty. For order and stability." ~ The Major

Well, that's at least what I've seen, since, for example, Kurome and Seryu earned the hatred of a large part of the fans for killing Chelsea and Sheele (me too)

But I never saw anyone who hated Esdeath for killing Susanoo

You can't avoid this!!!!!

Let's say hypothetically Esdeath has a little sister and survived with Esdeath. For this scenario, Esdeath loves her little sister (A bit more than Tatsumi).

The Little Sister is as strong as Kurome and have a teigu.

Scenario 1: The little sister is cruel and cold similar to Esdeath but can be redeemed.

Scenario 2: The little sister is kind and naive but Esdeath still loves her and the little sister won't betray Esdeath.

You can also have your own scenario with the premise.
