A Child Shall Lead Them: The show deconstructs this by showing what would realistically happen when a child is the ruler. Not that it stops the rebels from executing him. Children Are Innocent: So innocent that he's very easy to manipulate. Brainwashed and Crazy: In the manga, Honest uses the alterations Dorothea made to the Ultimate Teigu to essentially hijack the Emperor's mind and have him start killing indiscriminately. Even when he takes to using the Ultimate Teigu in the manga against the rebellion, he's legitimately concerned about the innocent lives caught in the crossfire and tries to end it it quickly by finding the commander to kill, only for Honest to brainwash him and make him attack indiscriminately. A bit justified, since he's only a child. Anti-Villain: He genuinely wants to rule the Empire with good intentions at heart and wants to be a good ruler, but the fact that Honest is pulling the strings and he is unaware of the rampant corruption is causing more harm than good. Alas, Poor Villain: His execution is pretty sad considering that he was pretty much a puppet for most of his life. Adorably Precocious Child: Outside of his duties as the emperor, he's really just a cheerful little boy, but he still takes his role very seriously (or at least tries). He starts to wonder if he wasn't leading the people as well as he thought he was, but Honest once again interjects and claims he has to simply put his foot down every now and then to quell any dissent. On top of that, they have a lot of sympathizers within the city walls, and he's warned that as powerful as Esdeath is, even she likely can't win if a large enough army shows up. 0% Approval Rating: In episode 22 of the anime, he is told by various advisory that the Revolutionary Army is marching towards the capitol. Voiced by: Yo Taichi (Japanese), Shannon Emerick (English), Lucia Suárez (Latin American Spanish)The de-jure ruler of the Empire, although everything he does is through the influence of Prime Minister Honest. Wretched Hive: The Imperial Capital is filled with morally bankrupt aristocrats who tend to prey on any newcomers unfortunate enough to encounter them. Vestigial Empire: After a thousand years the empire has become corrupted due to its Prime Minister and is at the verge of collapse when facing the Revolutionary Army. Stupid Evil: It’s like Honest can’t even try to pretend be anything more than a sadistic hedonist, if not for Esdeath he would have been overthrown a long time ago. Even the Emperor himself isn’t a tyrant who indulges himself but an ignorant child who is being used by those he trusts. While others who aren’t as moral do have redeemable qualities to prevent them from being as bad as groups like Wild Hunt. There are moral individuals who truly wish to protect the people and try to reform the empire within in order to fix its issues. 
Sorting Algorithm of Evil: Surprisingly not everyone in the empire are completely irredeemable bastards like Honest and his supporters.The Social Darwinist: Many of the corrupt officials justify their cruelty towards the citizens by claiming this as their reason.
Rape, Pillage, and Burn: Their go to as seen during Esdeath’s campaigns and especially what Wild Hunt does on a regular basis.Punch-Clock Villain: Their are those that work for the empire that aren’t corrupt as Night Raids usual targets and some even wish to reform it from within.Tatsumi didn’t realize how right they were. Humans Are the Real Monsters: In the first chapter the travelers that Tatsumi saved claimed the Imperial Capital is infested with humans with the hearts of monsters worse than any of the Danger Beats he’s seen before.The Empire: As the name suggests they are an empire that was once the dominant superpower of the series, however the Emperor is a child who is reduced to a figurehead while his Prime Minister si the one who is technically in charge.Decadent Court: In addition to the corrupt nobility, The Prime Ministers inner circle are probably the worst of them all.Card-Carrying Villain: Many within the Imperial government are this all thanks to the Prime Minister who allows them to indulge in their darkest desires.Aristocrats Are Evil: The majority of Night Raids targets consist of Nobles and other members of the upper class who exploit the lower class to poverty to secure their hedonistic lifestyle, enslave anyone unfortunate to catch their eye, even participate in torture innocents to death for sadistic pleasure.
