Plot
Following Tatsumi's capture by Esdeath, Tatsumi is dragged along with Esdeath and the Jaegers to raid and destroy a bandit's fortress as a backup Jaeger. Esdeath forces Tatsumi to watch the destruction as part of his training. Afterwards, Esdeath tries to seduce Tatsumi in her bedroom. Tatsumi resists the temptation and believes he can convince her to turn against the Empire. However, Esdeath slaps him and explains her motive of "survival of the fittest" as well as her being the one to change Tatsumi even if it meant protecting his family. After further arguing, they both decide to end the discussion and sleep with neither convincing each other. However, Esdeath remains in love with Tatsumi. The next day, Tatsumi meets up with Wave and Kurome. Tatsumi notices Kurome's gluttony. Kurome reveals that she is Akame's sister and wants to kill her for betraying the Capital. Later, Esdeath, Kurome, Wave, and Tatsumi go on a hunt at Mount Fake. Tatsumi and Wave pair up together. Both Tatsumi and Wave fight tree-like Danger Beasts with ease and without their Imperial Arms. Upon destroying the monsters, Tatsumi attempts to escape using Incursio and Wave follows him with his Imperial Arm known as Grand Chariot. Unaware of each other's identities, Wave attacks Tatsumi. Tatsumi tries to escape once more. Tatsumi is defeated. He escapes using invisibility. Akame and Lubbock rescue Tatsumi. Wave is punished by Esdeath for allowing Tatsumi to escape. Tatsumi returns to the Night Raid base and tells them about the Jaegers. Meanwhile, Dr. Stylish and his men known as Team Stylish locate the Night Raid base and prepare to attack.

Notes
- In the manga, Tatsumi was introduced to the Jaegers immediately after the tournament that he participated in, and the team is assigned their first mission. The episode skips this part and begins with the Jaegers starting and completing said mission.
- Dr. Stylish doesn't show both sides of his Teigu, Perfector. The only side shown was his support ability when he healed Seryu. He didn't show his capabilities of creating an army.
- This is the first time that the anime has gone to Mt. Fake.
- In the manga, this is the second time going the Mt. Fake, the first was when Tatsumi and Bulat were training.
- When Esdeath is asking Bols for relationship advice, Tatsumi wasn't in the room, nor were they at the Capital. In the manga, she was asking him after their assignment.
- Akame doesn't share the ability of her sister, Kurome and her Teigu, March of the Dead.
