To be honest, I had this feeling that there would be an underwhelming element to the method of killing The Empire's Strongest. I mean, she really is that powerful, so I figured Takahiro would write something cheap to soften her up, such as the distraction in the anime, or the exhaustion bit, especially when Akame didn't have to sacrifice much in that 1v1. I agree with you that there are too many heroes still around - it undermines the price taken to accomplish the revolution. Especially Leone - that felt more like an ass pull after all the effort Fat Bastard gave in trying to kill her. Not only does he destroy Lionelle, he pummels her and guns her down, and then throws her off a building. WTF!?
