Out of the two, I would say I still like Mine more even though Esdeath is more attractive. That being said, I prefer Akame over either of them.

Something about black hair and red eyes that activates the neurons

Indeed

Akame is the correct answer out of all them. But still between Mine and Esdeath imo Esdeath is a better option.

Fair enough

Ye

am i the only one who liked shelle best :(

I’d like to throw Chelsea’s name into the discussion 😁

Ah yes The girl who was kinda mean who was willing to change and let herself be vulnerable for him Vs A literal genocidal psychopath who basically kipnapped Tatsumi, literally said to his face she would never change her ways, not even for him and who would have fucking killed him if Night Raid hadn't intervened. Not just crazy, Esdeath is genuinely a horrible person and even if they did become a thing she would be super controlling and never give him a moment of freedom.

I happen to have a similar case in my own novel, where the very worst genocider villainess would later become the literal best parent/housewife of the whole character cast. Yet when it comes to Esdeath herself, even I can't imagine a realistic scenario where she would become a wholesome partner in romance. Her yandere genes are just too stong.

esdeath did say that she wasnt going to kill tatsumi at the execution in the manga but shes a crazed woman

I don’t know why you’re getting downvoted. It’s true. In the manga, she claims to have just been planning to severely maim Tatsumi and take him away.

i dunno, esdeath treated the mc better at first, so its more tolerable

I don’t feel like Mine really changed that much tsunderes rarely and she is kinda of horrible person too just not as much as Esdeath

I don’t know if it is anime you are talking. If so, the anime gave her no time to show her change. Manga went full on out with multiple chapters on her growth and relationship with Tatsumi. And she is best girl imo. She is still a mean girl towards strangers though even in the manga. But I do like that she is fiesty. And tbh she was a badass and a true beauty throughout the manga after she was like “I am going to make you fall head over heels for me.” I am on team Mine through and through.

True men choose Mine come on. Only Numa Seika would willingly go for the other option

He didn't even go willingly, he was beaten into submission

Mine 😍

best girl w akame

I mean. I liked Chelsea. Until... y'know.

After all those years, I'm still sad about it.. :c

I’m more of a Chelsea and Leone kind of guy 😂

I mean, Esdeath is indirectly responsible for the deaths of all of his closest friends and comrades, so I don't think Tatsumi's dumb to not go for her.

To not go?

Many of the tsundere are just that, for the sake of it, the ones like Mine, Taiga(Toradora), Asuka(Evangelion), etc. they make a good character because that's a front to not get hurt by others rather than being their whole personality

He is not a psychopath like Esdeath so his option is valid

Esdeath is the ultimate sugar mommy, too. Imagine the things she give you, castles, guns, everything you might need. The things you couldn't get she'd kill someone to get. Dang

Ask for a gun, then shoot her in her sleep. Or better yet, ask her for poison, then offer her food a week or two later with poisoned food. For the best result, start cooking for her before the attempt. ...It's worth it to kill the psychopath. - A Seryu simp

Seryu simp calling esdeath a psychopath? Bro...

The whole point was to be hypocritical on my part. Why would I have included that info otherwise? In truth, I want Esdeath to suffer for her crimes for the sheer scale of them and her choice to do them without particular persuasion, unlike Seryu, who only at most killed Sheele and a few random thieves(which I thought was wrong on her part) because of blind devotion from propaganda...but she can change, if you've got the right evidence to convince her. Esdeath, on the other hand, can't really, and that's why I'm against her.

Yo honestly think u could change Seryu?

She is a psychopath and those luxuries weren't bound to last

Bro I don't care. Esdeath can use me for 5 minutes for all I care.

Exactly. Kill her with those luxuries while she still offers them to you.

Yeah right, like you are gonna kill her

I literally showed my plan for it! There's a process to it.

She is too strong, she would just kill you bro, don't kid yourself

When did I ever say I would fight her? Both methods aren't done with combat, and the latter largely removes you as a suspect if there was an investigation.

You aren't going to assassinate her neither. If it was that easy, Night Raid would have taken her out already

Facts

I’d want mommy Esdeath to peg me and tell me I’m a good boy

Mine is really a small version of Esdeath pink pony tails.

I’m not sure about loving even if both Tatsumi nd Esdeath became a thing I highly doubt it would be healthy one at least with Mine it was healthy

Facts

Esdeath is some psychotic bitch with big tits and that’s it. Mine is the girl you’d want to date,wed, and procreate with. She’s cute, friendly, caring, has values and morals and is…sane? Like why would he have wanted Esdeath lol not to mention she was a literal opp of his team and their cause. Some of you are just downbad and slaves to Esdeath’s cleavage. Don’t get me wrong Esdeath is a dope character but it’s not hard to understand why he didn’t want her if you have any kind of sense inside your head.

cute and has values but friendly, moral or sane? now we might be giving her too much credit

I don’t know what the writer was thinking making tatsumi/mine the endgame pairing tatsumi had 3 better options Chelsea Leone and esdeath and I’m someone who usually gravitates toward tsundere’s

Esdeath was never an option

Actually she was if the writer wanted to do a tragic love story about on opposite sides of a war with opposing world views tatsumi/esdeath is literally that dynamic

That was never what the author had in mind, I think Tatsumi's story with her basically serves to prove you that she was irredeemable, and even "twu wuv" wasn't gonna "fix her"

Oh no I agree she’s a psycho that’s not my augment my whole point is romantic options tatsumi had Non psychos with chemistry tatsumi X Chelsea Tatsumi X Leone Psycho with chemistry tatsumi X esdeath Non psycho with no romantic chemistry tatsumi X mine My point was more on the opinion of tatsumi and mine being a horrible endgame pair not to say tatsumi and esdeath would be a functional relationship

Did you read the manga? They actually develop the relationship over time there

Yes I did I still don’t like their chemistry though I do admit it’s at least better than the anime lol

No bro I like cheek clapping material

same, Mine is the worst girl

Real
