Susanoo (Akame ga Kill)

Susanoo is a character from the Akame ga Kill anime and manga.

Susanoo was one of the new members of Night Raid that Najenda brought back from the Revolutionary Army HQ. He was an adept fighter and quite resilient to damage due to his status as a humanoid Teigu. He also served as Night Raid's housekeeper and aided Akame in Night Raid's daily chores as well as training with Tatsumi.

In the Heroes Coalition fics, Susanoo's life was spared and later joins the Heroes Coalition as part of Night Raid.

Appearance
Susanoo is a tall man who looks in his late-20's with distinctive, bull-like horns coming out of the sides of his head. He was always seen wearing a white robe.

Personality
Susanoo was a perfectionist who always noticed flaws in the others' appearance, even in the heat of a battle, as seen when he pointed out Desta-Ghoul's asymmetrical bones while fighting it. He always tried to fix such imperfections when he could, as seen with Tatsumi's shirt and Mine's hair. He was also quite straightforward and, while respectful towards his allies, had little understanding of human concepts, such as friendship; however, he was eventually able to develop bonds with his fellow Night Raid members.

Abilities
Susanoo was a biological Teigu, and the first one shown in the form of a human being. Because of his nature as a Teigu, he is able to regenerate injuries as long as his core is not destroyed. He also seems to be immune to poisons and toxins that would kill ordinary warriors. He wields a stave-like weapon called Wolf Fang Mace with blades protruding from it and is extremely proficient in battle. He is also very adept at housework and cooking, assisting Akame in the daily chores at Night Raid's HQ.

Trump Card
Magatama Manifestation (Magatama Kengen, literally translated as "Evil Soul Manifestation"): Susanoo absorbs his user's life energy into the magatama on his chest to access a more powerful, armored form. While under the effects of Magatama Manifestation, his hair whitens, his horns turn black, and a disk appears on his back. His user will die after commanding him to use this move three times. He has several different abilities that only become usable in conjunction with his trump card.
 * Yata no Kagami (Yata no Kagami, literally translated as "Eight Span Mirror"): Susanoo uses the floating disk on his back to create a mirror which can reflect any kind of projectiles.
 * Ame no Murakumo (Ame no Murakumo, literally meaning "Sword of the Gathering Clouds of Heaven"): Susanoo generates a very long transparent sword from energy stored in the magatama. The sword has immense power, being capable of cutting Esdeath's multiple layered ice wall with ease.
 * Yasakani no Magatama (Yasakani no Magatama, literally translated as "Eight Shaku Curved Jewel"): Susanoo temporarily increases his speed and physical strength.

Trivia

 * Susanoo's name is a reference to the Shinto god, Susanoo.
 * Susanoo's trump card Magatama Manifestation, as well as items Mirror of Yata and Ame no Murakumo are based on the Imperial Regalia of Japan.
