Boom.
Rumble—!
A blinding cross of light, brighter than the sun itself, tore through the skies above the Imperial Capital.
Golden armor, demonic power blazing around him, Tatsumi let out a roar and charged forward.
With an earth-shattering explosion, the Supreme Teigu's chest was blown apart.
Its massive frame cracked, split, and finally—fell.
The Supreme was defeated.
In that instant, the worlds trembled with excitement. Cheers erupted across countless realms.
"Woooooah!!"
"He did it! Tatsumi won!"
"Unbelievable, that was insane!"
"He pushed the Demon Armor beyond its limits with sheer willpower!"
"The Golden Incursio… actually shattered the Supreme Teigu!"
"He's… unstoppable!!"
All across the multiverse, people screamed, cried, and celebrated.
"I'm fired up now!!!"
In the Fairy Tail guild, Natsu's flames burst to life around him. After seeing something that hot-blooded, there was no way he could sit still.
"So full of passion! I can feel it, Tatsumi—your burning youth!"
In the Hidden Leaf Village, Might Guy was bawling openly, his tears glinting in the sun.
"Tatsumi's amazing, Guy-sensei!"
Lee leapt into Guy's arms, both of them sobbing like children.
"You two are unbelievable…"
Tenten sighed, wiping sweat off her forehead.
"He did it, Toriko! Tatsumi actually took down that giant robot!"
In the Gourmet World, Komatsu jumped three feet high.
"Hahaha! A moment worth celebrating! Komatsu, let's toast to Tatsumi's victory with your Century Soup!"
Toriko laughed heartily.
"You just want an excuse to drink it yourself!"
Sani rolled his eyes.
"That golden armor's so cool! I want one too!"
On the Thousand Sunny, Luffy's eyes were practically glowing.
"Idiot captain, is all you care about the armor?!"
Usopp, Nami, and the rest of the crew shouted in unison.
"Incredible, Tatsumi. Even I almost got swept up in the hype."
In the world of The Outcast, Zhang Chulan exhaled deeply, trying to calm his racing heart.
Back in Akame ga Kill!'s own world—
"He actually beat the Supreme Teigu! Tatsumi's awesome!"
Lubbock clapped so hard his hands turned red.
"That's my man!"
Leone grinned proudly.
"You're amazing, Tatsumi."
Akame's words were quiet, but heartfelt.
"Well… he did look kinda cool this time."
Mine turned away quickly, hiding the blush spreading across her face.
"Hahaha! I knew it! Tatsumi, your spirit pushed Incursio to evolve beyond its limits! Even I couldn't have done that!"
Bulat laughed, his pompadour swaying proudly.
"N-no, really! Everyone, I'm not that great!"
Tatsumi waved his hands nervously. After all, this was still something from the future—right now, he was just a rookie.
"Have some confidence, Tatsumi. You cut down the Supreme itself."
Najenda's cool voice was steady and encouraging.
Suddenly—
"Ah!"
Sheele, the quiet one with glasses, let out a startled cry.
A thunderous roar split the air.
The massive Supreme Teigu that Tatsumi had destroyed began to topple backward—right toward a crowded district full of civilians.
Everyone watching could already imagine the horror that was about to unfold.
But in that desperate moment—Tatsumi moved again.
Even with his armor shattered and his body covered in wounds, he didn't hesitate.
He threw himself in front of the falling colossus, using every last ounce of strength to hold it back.
The impact was catastrophic. Bones cracked, muscles tore, blood splattered across the golden armor until it gleamed red.
But—
He did it.
He stopped the godlike machine.
He saved thousands of innocent lives.
At the cost of his own.
Already fatally injured, his body finally gave out.
"Sorry… Akame… everyone… I can't keep that promise…"
Tatsumi fell.
The hero—was dead.
The multiverse froze.
No one wanted to believe it. No one could.
The main character… died?!
"N-no way… Tatsumi… even he's gone?"
In the world of Demon Slayer, Tanjiro's face went pale.
"I thought no matter who died, the protagonist would live. He's supposed to be the one who makes it to the end… but even Tatsumi…"
In Gintama, Gintoki swallowed hard, unable to finish his sentence.
"Amazing. Truly amazing. Even in the end, he stayed true to his beliefs—fighting to protect the people. He's a real hero."
In the world of That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime, Rimuru's eyes shimmered with tears.
"So this is the fate of a hero… always bleeding, always carrying the world's burdens."
In Ling Cage, Bai Yue Kui sighed softly, shaking her head.
"Da Bao, heroes who fight to protect others… they're really something."
"Yeah, but it's dangerous. Don't you go trying to be one of those heroes, A'Qi!"
Ji Dabao warned seriously.
"To become a hero of justice means enduring pain, suffering… and sometimes, dying for it."
In Fate, Kiritsugu gave a bitter smile.
"Even so… I'll still become one. Just like you once saved me, Kiritsugu—I'll use all my strength to save others too."
Shirou's voice was firm, eyes full of resolve.
Back in Akame ga Kill!—
"So, Tatsumi… you died too."
Esdeath's tone was quiet, almost reflective.
"Well, even if you hadn't died here, you would've met your end at my hands eventually."
The scene on the celestial broadcast shifted to the final battlefield.
Najenda stood at the head of a force of Imperial Arms users and a million soldiers, surrounding Esdeath completely.
For anyone else, being surrounded by a million troops would've meant instant surrender.
But Esdeath didn't flinch.
Her face remained calm, her confidence unshaken.
"Esdeath, the Empire has fallen!"
Akame shouted.
"The Empire's gone, yes. So from here on… this is my own battle."
Esdeath's eyes burned with the same fierce light as ever.
"The soldiers have surrendered, the traitors are dead. The only ones left are your ice knights—and they can't reach you now."
Najenda's voice was cold and level.
"From here, it's a war of attrition. Prepare to be crushed by our army of a million, Esdeath."
"A mere million? You really think that's enough to defeat me?"
Esdeath laughed softly.
Across the worlds, countless viewers fell silent.
Even faced with a million soldiers—she didn't waver.
Where did that terrifying confidence come from?
"..."
