| Akumetsu (Manga) | comment |
The Punisher meets V for Vendetta meets Atlas Shrugged.The Japanese economy is crumbling. The country has a debt of over 7 trillion dollars. This is followed by, of course, bankruptcy, poverty, and unemployment.Hazama Shou and Nagasawa Shina are two high school students and friends. One day, with the school year almost over, Shina has to sell herself into prostitution due to her family's massive debt. That night, at the hotel where she is made to entertain the high-level members of a semi-governmental corporation, a guy wearing a mask crashes the party, calling himself Akumetsu. note ''Destruction of Evil. (Aku) Evil (Metsu) Killer also works and makes for a wonderful pun. Shina recognizes him from the speech pattern... as Shou. After a conversation, bringing his target to admitting his crimes, Shou hacks his skull with an axe he brought and drags the body outside with him, only to be shot to death by the police waiting outside.Shou's head explodes as he dies.But when Shina returns to school the next day...Shou is there, and seems fine. And he tells Shina that he'll change Japan.Cue one dead Sleazy Politician and Corrupt Corporate Executive after another as Shou in his alter-ego, Akumetsu, sets in motion his plan to save Japan from its economic and political disasters.Published in Weekly Shonen Champion from 2002 to 2006, Akumetsu is a very violent series, but also boasts a realistic art-style. The story department, though, is a tad polarizing. The first plot line explores where and how "evil" can thrive in a modern society; in this case, the author chose politics and economy as its breeding grounds. The second plot line is about Akumetsu's plan to rid Japan of evil and the government's attempts to apprehend him and stop his terrorist acts. Those politically conscious might have a chance to pause and ponder on the facts the first plot line presents, whereas a casual reader will probably be more interested in the second. Bottomlined, it has Multiple Demographic Appeal which may also appeal to some of the shonen audiences.Comparable to both The Boondock Saints and Destroy and Revolution. On the other hand, most definitely not Death Note.Not to be mistaken with a certain mangaka. | |

No Celebrities Were Harmed: No Politicians Were Harmed, in this case. The prime minister bears a striking resemblance to Junichiro Koizumi and there's even a page in one of the translations giving you a helpful guide to the real-life equivalents of the various Sleazy Politicians that Akumetsu meets. | |

| Akumetsu (Manga) / int_37fcf16 | comment |
Death Is Cheap: This varies. Death is cheap early on when he has clones to throw away. Death becomes not so cheap once he is pushed since he does not have the materials nor the resources to create new ones as the final race makes every clone count. | |

Defector from Decadence: The Perfect One, who would have been a "new" Jinguuji if not for an unexpected twist of events. With Jinguuji's memories dying with him without being passed on anymore, this makes Akumetsu an indirect extension. Officer Yamada, if not for his utter hatred for Akumetsu, would be a pretty likely candidate. | |

Becoming the Mask | |
| Akumetsu (Manga) / int_44606d14 | comment |
Becoming the Mask: Whoever decides to follow Akumetsu's methods better "buck up and do it properly"... or else the real one's out there to get you. And by "do it properly", it includes dying after the target. Also a common theme with Shou. Because each clone works independently, at different jobs, sometimes for long periods of time, they take their own personas. Many of these clones have expressed sadness when they are forced to die to pass on their memories and skills for leaving the coworkers and friends they make. Considering that the Shou conclave began from several different clones that had all grown up in different areas, families, careers, and lifestyles, the current shou can be interpreted as an extreme case of becoming the mask that jumps all the way to Hive Mind. | |

| Akumetsu (Manga) / int_4548e6d9 | comment |
Innocent Bystander: Either averted or subverted or both; Akumetsu never touches kills a bystander. No matter how many of them may die. He would, however, have to do things to leave a persistent bystander (like a bodyguard shooting at him, for example) out of line-of-fire from time to time. | |

Downer Ending | |
| Akumetsu (Manga) / int_4e3d253b | comment |
Downer Ending: All of the Shous die, as does his teacher, and at least six classmates. The Prime Minister's reforms ultimately failed, and corruption is still rampant. To add insult to injury, he's also homeless. Shiina survives only because the last Shou used the material from his body to build a new clone for her to transfer her consciousness to. It also has a few countable Bittersweet Ending moments sprinkled here and there; like Shou and Shiina's final moment together in the last cloning room, and particularly the two final lines of the manga: | |

Author Tract | |
| Akumetsu (Manga) / int_4eaa9b84 | comment |
Author Tract: The primary purpose of the story seems to be 60% railing against the corruption of various political offices and figures (including groups often not talked about in fiction, like those in charge of building roads) and 40% watching said figures die in over the top ways. There are multiple monologues about the corruption of various figures, varying between those in denial about their corruption at least publicly and those who fully own up to being corrupt as hell. | |

Hive Mind | |
| Akumetsu (Manga) / int_90965cc7 | comment |
Considering that the Shou conclave began from several different clones that had all grown up in different areas, families, careers, and lifestyles, the current shou can be interpreted as an extreme case of becoming the mask that jumps all the way to Hive Mind. | |

Mood Whiplash: Akumetsu is often shown to be torturing or blackmailing a politician right on national TV and with people watching everywhere in Japan. His topics are completely serious and yet we have Ametsu-kun, a cute and cuddly mascot that will aid Akumetsu in an unfathomably cute fashion. | |

Nice Job Fixing It, Villain: The Yakuza lackeys had Akumetsu by the throat and they thought that they could get away with the Coup D'etat only to fall victim to the Incredibly Obvious Bomb. They rigged a SEPARATE bomb to explode if Azuma was killed in addition to his exploding head (most likely, they rigged it to explode at the same time as Azuma's head), so even though they used weak bullets, the lab was screwed the minute he did eventually die. | |

| Akumetsu (Manga) / int_df410b77 | comment |
Decoy Protagonist: Played straight and subverted with Shou Hazama. Hazama may have performed the first Akumetsu killing but he isn't connected to the overarching story and is quickly replaced with Shou Niikura as the protagonist by the second volume. However Niikura is killed by the penultimate volume and Hazama takes up the reins as protagonist once more until the end. So in essence, begins and ends with Hazama. | |
