Leone takes Tatsumi to the hideout of Night Raid and introduces him to the other members, all of whom Tatsumi views as freaks. Night Raid leader Najenda convinces Tatsumi to join Night Raid, since it is their mission to overthrow the Empire and to set up a new democratic government in its place. Najenda assigns Akame to train Tatsumi, but Tatsumi ends up merely cooking and fishing. Tatsumi is later given the assignment to assassinate the corrupt captain of the Imperial Police named Ogre, who often framed innocent people as criminals. At night, Tatsumi finds Ogre in the streets, where they draw swords at each other. When Ogre becomes arrogant, Tatsumi kills Ogre with the slash of his sword. As a cocky Tatsumi reports back to the hideout, Akame does a strip search on him, making sure he was not wounded. Since he has survived thus far, she accepts him as a member of Night Raid.
