Syura is a major antagonist in the Akame ga Kill! Manga/anime series, serving as one of the two main antagonists (alongside Dorothea) of the Wild Hunt Arc, and as a minor antagonist in the prequel Akame ga Kill! Zero. He is the cruel, selfish, and spoiled leader of the Wild Hunt and the son of Prime Minister Honest. He, along with his group, abuse their power by committing various crimes for fun.
Before Wild Hunt, Syura killed a governmental official by stomping his face to death simply because he "bossed" him around.
Returning to the Capital unannounced, he released Dr. Stylish's Danger Beasts just for fun, being responsible for the monsters' killings and devouring across the capital, terrorizing from mining areas to the outskirts. One of the notable victims was a couple, in which the pregnant wife ended up having her belly smashed open by one of the beasts.
He teleported Tatsumi and Esdeath to a remote island where they were attacked by giant Danger Beasts.
He murdered a prostitute in which he was sleeping with her, just because she talked bad about his father.
He gathered other fellow criminals no better than himself and founded Wild Hunt, which they are notorious for causing and relishing in chaos, abusing their power and position to murder, torture, and rape people regardless of age and gender.
He had his group demonstrate their abilities and Teigu usage by having them go against death row inmates in a death match, killing numerous of them.
He lead the Umatora Theater "investigation," where it sees hundreds of men, women, and even a child actor raped and killed by him and the rest of Wild Hunt. During this, he was seen raping a young woman before strangling her to death.
He killed and hung the corpses of the Temple of the Imperial Fist trainee students when they tried to avenge their master.
Along with Enshin and Champ, he raped and murdered Bols' wife and daughter on his grave, thus earning Wave's wrath.
He attempts to have his way with Kurome, a teenage girl and later plans to keep her as his sex slave. This makes him an ephebophile.
He started torturing Lubbock after capturing him and Tatsumi. Then he smashed Lubbock's one testicle when he refused to tell him where Night Raid's base was, even planning to do the same to one of his eyes when he comes back.
He began taunting Lubbock about how Esdeath was having sexual activities with Tatsumi (despite it not happening) as a means of spiting him and possibly persuading him to tell information on the Night Raid.
He tries to out Esdeath as a traitor when discovering her connections with Tatsumi, and with her out of the picture, he would resume his revenge on Wave by killing him as he sees fit.
When the Wild Hunt was disbanded, he set up a backup plan where he'll simply burn all of the Capital to the ground just to lure in and kill Night Raid. Even being willing to use Shambala to teleport anyone who intervenes into an active volcano.
While he does want to impress his father and gets upset when he disappoints him, not only is this not played sympathetically, his death reveals that he wants to surpass his father and take over the Empire. In a way, it's more of Syura wanting to earn his approval under the pragmatic concept of being in his good graces, only to have his father turn a blind eye and overthrow him without the former knowing.
While Akame Ga Kill explores the worst humanity has to offer, he is considered utterly vile, if not, just like his father by the standards, to the point even members of the Jaegers (including Esdeath, whose not a saint herself) were disgusted and hated him for his actions.
Trivia[]
Only the manga version of Syura counts as Pure Evil, as the anime cuts off the Wild Hunt Arc, which also omits the actions that made Syura pass the heinous standard.
