The Akatsuki (暁?, lit. Daybreak) is the Black Knights' Seventh generation mass-production Knightmare model in the second season, following their exile from Japan. They are given to the Black Knights as a show of support from India, where they are manufactured.[31] It is superior to the Gekka, though its frame is visually similar. It is silver with a green tinge, and can be fitted with a Float System backpack. Like the Gekka, the Akatsuki has a monoptic head, a machine gun built into the left hand and a single Slash Harken on the left side of its chest. It differs in that it features a pair of machine gun turrets concealed in its chest; and carries a modified version of the Katen Yaibatou, which is shaped like a baton with the blade situated near the topThe squadron leaders in the Black Knights pilot an Akatsuki variant called Akatsuki Command Model Zikisan (暁 直参仕様?, lit. Daybreak General's Direct Subordinate Version). It bears a much closer resemblance to the Gekka than the standard Akatsuki. Chiba Nagisa, Shōgo Asahina, and other standard squadron leaders pilot indigo versions. C.C. pilots a pink model. It is equipped with similar weaponry, but carries the full-sized Katen Yaibatou instead of the scaled-down baton. It also possesses radiant wave surger-based shielding mounted in the head antennas and rockets mounted with radiant wave surger warheads.[38] They make use of the Float System in every battle, whereas the regular units only equip them as needed.
Kyoshiro Tohdoh pilots a black and silver customized Akatsuki called the Zangetsu (斬月?, lit. Cut the Moon). It resembles the Akatsuki Command Model Zikisan with a custom head crest and Gekka-style shoulder armor, plus the red hair-like attachments from his previous custom Knightmare.[39] It carries the same Seidoutou as his old Gekka and employs the radiant wave surger-based shield used by his subordinates' Knightmares. However, it doesn't possess the same radiant wave surger rockets. The Zangetsu's hair-like attachments are tough enough to be used to ward off physical blows. Like his subordinates, Tohdoh makes consistent use of the Float System attachment. The Zangetsu is destroyed in combat with the Lancelot Albion
