Mine getting easily annoyed.

Mine is characterized by her quick temper and a tendency to become easily irritated, particularly towards those she does not know well. She often exhibits a cold and aggressive demeanor, especially during her initial interactions with Tatsumi, the newest member of Night Raid, whom she frequently teases about his chances of survival.

Beneath her tough exterior, Mine reveals a warmer and kinder side to those she trusts. This compassionate nature is demonstrated when she playfully teases Tatsumi to distract him from the grief of losing Susanoo, showing her desire to support him during difficult times.

As her relationship with Tatsumi develops, Mine discovers romantic feelings for him, which he reciprocates. The two eventually enter into an intimate relationship, marking a significant shift in her character. With this newfound love, Mine displays a more possessive side, often feeling jealous of Leone’s flirtatious behavior towards Tatsumi. She expresses her irritation by reminding him to firmly reject such advances, emphasizing her role as his girlfriend.

Mine’s concern for Tatsumi’s well-being becomes evident when he goes missing after being imprisoned. Her anxiety highlights her deepening emotional attachment, revealing how much she cares for him.

Additionally, Mine is an advocate against racial discrimination, stemming from her experiences as a child of mixed heritage. Having faced prejudice due to her foreign blood, she is particularly sensitive to issues of inequality and seeks a world free from such biases.

History

Mine comes from a troubled background, having experienced poverty and hardship in her early life. Her past significantly shapes her worldview and fuels her desire to fight against the corruption of the Empire. She is motivated by the desire to protect the innocent and achieve a better future for those suffering under the oppressive regime. Despite her tough exterior and occasionally abrasive demeanor, Mine is deeply compassionate and cares deeply for her comrades in Night Raid.

Her character develops significantly through her interactions with Tatsumi, the series’ protagonist. The two develop a close romantic relationship, which becomes a source of strength and motivation for both of them. Mine’s feelings for Tatsumi deepen over time, adding emotional depth to her character and furthering her resolve to fight for a better world.

Throughout the series, Mine faces numerous challenges, including confrontations with high-ranking officials of the Empire and members of the Jaegers, the Empire’s elite force. She is known for her fierce determination and willingness to sacrifice herself for her comrades and the cause they fight for. Mine’s character arc is marked by personal growth as she learns to balance her fierce independence with her emotional connections to others.

In the anime, Mine’s story takes a tragic turn during the climactic battle against the Empire. She sacrifices herself to protect Tatsumi, ultimately losing her life but ensuring that he can continue the fight. This sacrifice highlights her bravery and the depth of her love for Tatsumi, leaving a lasting impact on the remaining members of Night Raid.

In the manga, Mine’s fate differs, as she survives the final conflict and has a chance to build a future with Tatsumi. They eventually start a family together, symbolizing hope and the possibility of a peaceful life after the turmoil of war.

Mine’s story is a powerful exploration of love, sacrifice, and the struggle against oppression, making her a memorable and significant character in Akame ga Kill!.

Equipment and Skills

Mine is equipped with a formidable Teigu known as Roman Artillery: Pumpkin, a highly versatile rifle that can fire in three distinct modes: snipermachine gun, and long barrel. Unlike standard firearms, Pumpkin unleashes concentrated shots of spirit energy, with the power of each shot directly proportional to Mine’s perception of danger. However, prolonged use can lead to overheating if not managed carefully.

The effectiveness of Pumpkin’s firing modes can be adjusted by swapping out various components. For instance, one modification allows her to unleash slashing attacks with spirit energy, while another enhances her firing speed, enabling rapid shots at the cost of lower attack power in machine gun mode. Mine’s exceptional skill with Pumpkin enables her to hit her targets with remarkable precision. Additionally, the rifle houses an eyepiece that Mine can utilize to scout and engage enemies from a considerable distance.

In addition to her marksmanship, Mine demonstrates a solid proficiency in hand-to-hand combat, having been seen sparring with fellow Night Raid member Akame.

However, Mine’s primary vulnerability lies in her tendency to leave her back exposed during combat, often necessitating last-minute protection from her teammates. She cleverly exploits this weakness while operating Pumpkin, a strategy first evident during a raid alongside Sheele to eliminate a group of assassins.

Relationships

Night Raid

Sheele
Mine developed a close friendship with Sheele, as the two frequently partnered in life-and-death situations. Among all the Night Raid members, Mine was most profoundly affected by Sheele’s death, pledging to personally avenge her fallen comrade. True to her word, Mine reclaimed Sheele’s Teigu from the Empire’s forces, honoring her memory in the process.

Tatsumi
Initially, Mine was overbearing towards Tatsumi, often teasing him as the newest member of Night Raid. However, her respect for him grew after they successfully completed a mission together, targeting a relative of the Prime Minister. Their relationship is characterized by playful bickering, with the leader of the Path of Peace humorously noting that they were bound by the “red string of fate.” Over time, Mine developed romantic feelings for Tatsumi and ultimately confessed her love, which he reciprocated. After Mine fell into a coma, Tatsumi vowed to keep fighting for both of them. He fulfilled this promise by returning to her after the war. Upon her recovery, they reaffirmed their love, despite Tatsumi’s transformation into a dragon. It was later revealed that Mine was pregnant with Tatsumi’s child, and the couple decided to retire from their duties, seeking a peaceful life away from the Empire with their new family.

Chelsea
While often irritated by Chelsea’s playful teasing, Mine regarded her as a valued comrade. Chelsea’s tragic end further fueled Mine’s hatred for Seryu, given that both Chelsea and Sheele fell victim to Seryu’s Teigu. In remembrance of her fallen friend, Mine can sometimes be seen wearing Chelsea’s ribbons.


Jaegers

Seryu Ubiquitous
Mine harbored a deep-seated hatred for Seryu, primarily due to her role in Sheele’s death, and vowed to exact revenge. In response, Seryu singled out Mine as her primary adversary among the Night Raid members. During their second encounter, Mine showcased her strategic preparation by defeating Seryu’s Teigu and ultimately slaying her after a fierce and prolonged battle, an achievement made possible only through Tatsumi’s timely assistance.
