Tokyo Revengers: Season 2 (What To Expect)

Tokyo Revengers as a Manga quickly became a fan-hit amongst the fans. But the popularity horizon of it broadened to a great extent post its Anime adaptation.

The former season of the show had a strong narrative and captivating characters that immediately grabbed the attention of the audience. The first season received a phenomenal response from the viewers and set the bar too high.

The fact that the show received confirmation of season 2 within just a few months of the first season’s finale further demonstrates its popularity.

The first season left the viewers hanging in between, with Kisaki pointing a gun toward Takemichi preceding a gunshot being heard. 

With this, the show, with its 1st season, successfully left all of us viewers wanting more.  The anticipation has not yet subsidedrather, as time draws near, it grows even more intense. 

I’ll be going over all that is revealed in Season 2 today.

Let’s go!

What is Tokyo Revengers about?

Ken Wakui is the writer and artist of the Japanese manga series Tokyo Revengers. Liden Productions made an anime television series adaptation that ran from April to September 2021. In January 2023, the second season premiered. In July 2021, a live-action film adaption was released in Japan, with a sequel planned for 2023.

Takemichi Hanagaki’s life has hit rock bottom, and just when he thought things couldn’t get any worse, he learns that his ex-girlfriend, Hinata Tachibana, was murdered by the Tokyo Manji Gang: a gang of nasty criminals.

Those criminals have been disrupting society’s tranquillity for quite some time. Takemichi finds himself travelling through time, ending himself 12 years ago, when he was still in a relationship with Hinata, wondering where it all went wrong. Believing he has a chance to save Hinata, Takemichi decides to insinuate the Tokyo Manji Gang and rise through the ranks in order to change history and spare Hinata from her tragic fate.

Takemichi Hanagaki is the protagonist of the manga series Tokyo Revengers and its anime adaptation.

Takemichi time-travels back twelve years after learning of the deaths of the Tachibana siblings, one of whom was his ex-girlfriend Hinata Tachibana. He learns about the famed Tokyo Manji Gang, a middle school biker gang in the past that is responsible for Hina’s death in the present, thanks to his time-travelling abilities. Takemichi gets motivated to cooperate with him to spare Hina from an undesirable future after accidentally rescuing Hina’s brother Naoto from the disaster.

During his time travels, Takemichi discovers the history of the Tokyo Manji Gang and how it evolved into a criminal organization in the present. Takemichi joins the group and eventually becomes the First Division Captain. His engagement with Toman would eventually act as a springboard for him to become the 11th Generation Black Dragon’s leader in 2006. He becomes the leader of the Second Generation Tokyo Manji Gang two years later. In his final time leap, he becomes Toman’s Acting President.

As we all recall, the previous season ended with a gun pointed at Chifuyu and Takemichi, and a gunshot was audible over a dark screen. From this point on, the new season will continue, and we will see our hero Takemichi coming back with his story.

In the previous season, Takemichi, a 26-year-old, was leading an unsuccessful and miserable life. One day he comes across news through which he discovers the murder of his former girlfriend, Hinata Tachibana.

Season 2 will also feature Takemichi's story a lot more significant than the previous.

Later on, in the show, the guy gets struck by a train only to be teleported 12 years back into his life. He decides to save his former girlfriend by going back in time and preventing her from reaching her dreadful fate. Along with that, Takemichi decides to save his friends and becomes a part of the Tokyo Manji Gang for the sole purpose of changing his friends’ future.

Takemichi, as was shown in the previous season, is a strongly-willful and ambitious character. If he is set on something, he will amount to any danger to be successful in his aim. 

What Arc is Season 2 of Tokyo Revengers?

As we are all aware, the first season featured the adult Takemichi living an unfulfilled life when he also discovers the murder of his former girlfriend. One day, the protagonist is hit by a train, due to which he time travels 12 years back into his life to the time of his middle school.

The said season consisted of 3 arcs known as Toucan Arc, Moebius Arc, and Valhalla Arc.

The upcoming season may consist of the following arcs:

Christmas Showdown Arc
Tenjiku Arc

Christmas Showdown Arc

The Christmas Showdown Arc is commonly referred to as the Black Dragon Arc.

The upcoming season will have the Black Dragon Arc, which will feature the adaptation of chapters 78 to 121 of the Manga. This arc might cover the first half of the season and include 10 or more episodes.

The finale of the first season featured Takemichi returning back to the future, only to be kidnapped along with Chifuyu. The latter is shot, and thus marks the start of the new season.

In the upcoming part, Kazutora will be shown rescuing Takemichi. Takemichi will go back to the past, where Tokyo Manji Gang will face Black Dragon.

The Black Dragon Arc was basically founded by Shinichiro Sano, who is Mikey’s older brother.

The character of Mitsuya, along with the gang leader Shiva, his older brother Hakkai, and their sister Shiba Yuzuha, will play a significant role in this season.

Tenjiku Arc

Chapters 122 to 188 will be adapted for The Tenjiku Arc. This indicates that if they include the arc, it will occupy a larger portion of the newly released part. 

In this story arc, Takemichi will travel to the future only to discover that Mikey has lost mental stability and turned insane due to the Tokyo Manji Gang.

With Naoto’s assistance, Takemichi tries to inquire more about this situation, but all in vain as they both end up sustaining severe injuries. Since Takemichi has the ability to go back in time, he won’t be able to go until he changes the course of events and saves Mikey.

The Tenjiku Arc is a significant part of the Manga, and it takes its name after the Villain Izana Kurokawa, Tenjiku Gang’s leader.

If this becomes a part of the Anime,  Takemichi’s character will significantly develop throughout the show.
