The Akatsuki (暁?, lit. Daybreak) is the Black Knights' standard Knightmare Frame 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. It is superior to the Gekka, though its frame is visually similar; its primary distinguishing features, are the altered head and shoulder armor. It is silver with a green tinge, and can be fitted with an Air Glide Wing System.

The Akatsuki is in many ways an evolution of the Gekka rather than a completely new design. It has a similar machine gun built into the left hand and a single Slash Harken on the left side of its chest, and it carries a modified version of the Katen Yaibatou. The Akatsuki's version is shaped more like a baton with the blade situated near the top.
