You really do yourself a disservice starting the story
here:
But it will answer your question, how does Akagi meet his demise.
That would be like reading the last chapter of a mystery before reading the rest of the book.
Better that you start from the
beginning, and by beginning, the beginning of the end... it's kind of like Star Wars, which started with episode 4, and then later went back to the beginning. With Akagi, he was a character first introduced in Ten Tenna Toori No Kaidanji, when he is an old man. Then the series Akagi later came out to explain where old man Akagi came from and how he rose to be a legend.
