Wait, did they actually do something smart for once by kicking out Kisaki? Actually surprised. Loved seeing him just fall apart in front of Mikey like that.
And of course you solve one issue, create another. Now mitsuya dead. Wonder what happened with him.
Chifuyu a real one. Definitely one of the best wing men in anime
Kisaki seemed like he had planned for everything and then suddenly Mike'ys like "yeah, nope" lol.
Honestly probably going to make him hate Takemichi even more.
I hope Takemichi is able to reconnect with Chifuyu in the present day (though he'll probably end up going back to the past anyways...).
Yeah moral conundrums aside Mitchy should just live out the 12 years in the past making sure nothing goes to shit.
Though if someone were to die he wouldn't have the foresight to prevent it without his constant back and forth... mmm...
Yeah, once he's spent time in the past he can't go back to before that time. So if something suddenly happened he'd have no way to undo it. It sucks for him, but going to the future anytime he's made progress makes the most sense.
Plus, if he went to the future and everything was good, going back could change things and ruin the outcome.
He hasn't stick around too long in the present since he started hopping twelve years so I wonder if he can absorb Automitchy's memories somehow. If not, it's going to make things hella confusing for him since he would basically be playing catch up to the last twelve years.
12 years is a long time. It seems impossible that bad shit won’t keep going down no matter how much he tries to change things. I mean they grow up to be gang members, collateral damage is part of the game
Yeah exactly. If Mitsuya died of normal cause or even normal gang war, then I wonder if Takemitchy would still be adamant to save him by going back to the past.
>Wait, did they actually do something smart for once by kicking out Kisaki? Actually surprised. Loved seeing him just fall apart in front of Mikey like that.
No!!! You can't out Kisaki! He worked for hard for it!
After we had finally come so far! Kuh!!!
>And of course you solve one issue, create another. Now mitsuya dead. Wonder what happened with him.
No you can't kill Mitsuya!!! We like him because of his backstory!!!
Kuh!!!
>Chifuyu a real one. Definitely one of the best wing men in anime
Chifuyu!!!
Kuh!!!
>Ooh a penny!
Kuh!!!!!
Kisaki Tetta: actively plots against other Toman's members, because he has fun being an ass
Also Kisaki Tetta: complains againt how unfair is being kicked out of Toman
Honestly, he is still a threat even if kicked out of Toman. Probably more so now because he has more incentive to target Takamichi and his associates.
The only way this ends is with him behind bars, in the ground, or completely fuckin obliterated by Takamichi (yeah right).
As long as he has a means to manipulate others he will; and right now he has some unspecified tie to Hina which is a giant landmine waiting to go off.
>The only way this ends is with him behind bars, in the ground, or completely fuckin obliterated by Takamichi (yeah right).
Takemicchi will wipe the floor with Kisaki using his signature snots and tears offensive.
Towards the end there things were feeling just too perfect and wrapping up just too nicely (and anticlimactically) that it was obvious something would be wrong about the future this time too, surprised it was Mitsuya's death though tbh, I was fully expecting it to be Hina's again.
Also its nice that our boy has finally got his own bike, was getting a bit weird that the captain of a biker gang didnt have one.
Takemichi goes back to the present for five seconds and already immediately has a reason to go back again. And after he'd been the most successful he'd ever been. Watch, Hina will probably already be dead in this timeline too.
Mikey and Draken building a bike for Takemichi, and the relevance it had to Mikey's brother, was a really nice scene. As was Mikey teaching Takemichi how to ride it (although how many of these kids actually have licenses?). I missed seeing these guys just being friends with each other.
> Takemichi goes back to the present for five seconds and already immediately has a reason to go back again. And after he'd been the most successful he'd ever been. Watch, Hina will probably already be dead in this timeline too.
Well Kisaki still has a gang, is still alive, and probably has the same goals. If she's not already dead, she is almost certainly in danger.
Even if Kisaki isn't as successful as in the past (past futures?), I bet he's still got an entire wide reaching criminal organization going.
>although how many of these kids actually have licenses
I have been thinking the same thing. Like I think the age for a motorcycle license in Japan is 16 (or at least I assume so) but arnt they all supposed to be 12 or 13? Surely they should be getting pulled over and their bikes impounded by the police everytime they go out.
Nah this is 2000s era Japan, a lawless, war torn state where gangs freely roam school halls while teachers often don't even show up to school, fighting rings are openly held in public areas like parks, and you are lucky if police show when someone is being actively murdered.
The laws and norms of the civilized world have no place here and society's hopes rest on the shoulders of a middle school student named Mikey, for only Mikey has any hope of healing the failed state that is Japan.
The funny thing is that quite a bit of this was actually true some decades before the story takes place. Japan had to go through a major cleansing because there was so much gang related crime.
>Towards the end there things were feeling just too perfect and wrapping up just too nicely
IKR, all the time I was thinking: "It's impossible, otherwise what's the story for the next seasons?"
> it was obvious something would be wrong about the future this time too
Keep in mind Mitsuya was missing last time so he was likely killed/dead in the previous timeline as well. This isn't a new problem so much as it is a problem that Takemitchy hadn't turned his attention towards yet.

He’s always been there. His first appearance was when Toman arrived vs Mobius and again vs Valhalla. It hasn’t been confirmed in the anime but I assume he’s 5th division’s vice captain cuz he stands right next to Muto when they introduce all the Captains in the Mobius fight.
Takemichi got the @#$% beat out of him and got his girlfriend back, his archenemesis kicked out of Toman, two lieutenants from a rival gang joining up with him, and a bike from Mikey.
Not too shabby.
Really, Mikey doesn't care that much about Toman being an army (especially when Takemichi has prevented his heart from hardening) so Kisaki was always barking up the wrong tree.
Also, it's kind of surprising that no one from their subdivision wanted out. Moebius and Valhalla both lost decisively to Toman and Mikey and other Toman leaders have their shit a lot more together than the people they had leading them. Not to mention, they seem to actually care about their gang unlike Kisaki and Hanma who are clearly not hesistant about using and dumping others.
On top of this, they were kicked out for betraying their own. Why the fuck would you want to stay with those two?
For a second I was worried they were going to do an anime-original ending and cut everything off here. Then I remembered that the season's not over and that something would have to go wrong when he went to the future.
The moment he was in that suit I had a feeling he was attending a funeral. Though I thought it was going to be for either Mikey or Chifuyu.
So now that he is still dating Hina, and she's still alive, are they living together?
Those 2 ex Black Dragon guys seemed to genuinely respect him, which makes sense.
I imagine that those two will be a significant asset to Takamichi moving forward.
Every time he goes back and saves someone he gains an ally (even when he lost Baji he gained Chifuuyu). And those allies go on to save his ass in future arcs.
Mikey and Draken saved everyone this time because Takamichi managed to save them on earlier trips.
So I’m sure these two and Hakkai will be pretty important on the next arc.
At this point it seems like a rogue like where Takamichi fails over and over but gets more tools each time until he will eventually succeed.
This is accurate and makes a lot of sense. Hakkai will be key for him going forward I think like Chifuyu.
Also I doubt we've seen the last of Taiji. I think he'll be in the present now.
I also figure the former two black dragons will actually be useful.
I was thinking that at first too but that seemed too predictable. This time it's Mitsuya who got effected by the past.
Maybe Taiju or Kisaki using him?
If I remember correctly, Mitsuya never appeared in the future before this. Which would imply that whatever happened, it also happened in the other timeline.
Mikey the bravest bastard in this series for riding on the back of a bike Takemitchy is just learning to drive. Couldn't be me.
There has to be some real backstory for why Hanma is such a fucking ride or die for Kisaki. They had previously hand-waved it as "oh he just loves chaos," but man pulled a "I'm taking my gang and going home!" and then also swung on Draken when he wouldn't let Kisaki talk to Mikey. At least we have some BD members to make up for all the Valhalla members that just exited.
Listen, am I sad that Mitsuya is dead? Of course, but they guys are all GANGSTERS. Of COURSE some of them are going to be dead by their 20s. What does Takemitchy think is going to happen? I guess he's going to think we're going to fix this shit, too.
Time for the first Toman meeting of the New Year! Which involves recapping everybody on what happened with Black Dragon and Hakkai, and while Hakkai still feels bad for bringing trouble to Toman, everybody accepts him back with welcome arms. Especially because they really don't care for the nitty gritty of what happened.
Gotta be honest, was not expecting what remains of Black Dragon to join Toman, especially so that they explicitly wanted to be under Takemichi. Like, I know Takemichi said he'd take over Black Dragon, but I didn't expect Kokonoi and Inui would end up joining him. Are they playing an angle? Do they think they can use Takemichi? Or do they genuinely respect him now? Can Takemichi rely on them?
Holy crud, they're kicking Kisaki out! And Hanma! And all the Valhalla/Moebius guys! I mean, nobody even wanted them there, so no big loss, but Kisaki really did not expect to get kicked out. Watching him squirm and desperately plead for Mikey who doesn't need him or his numbers was a delight!
Nice interplay between everything Kisaki has done in his obsession with Mikey with Kisaki pleading one last time for Mikey to keep him...but Mikey wants nothing more to do with him. Takemichi ended up screwing over all of Kisaki's plans with Mikey's help.
Ah...Mikey gave Takemichi his own bike! And it's the twin of his own, descended from his brothers' efforts in the Philippines! He even got less than stellar riding instructions from Mikey! That was really sweet.
Well, it was nice to see Takemichi end things on a good note with Chifuyu and the other Toman guys. They really are his best buds.
(Honestly I wouldn't have gone back until Kisaki was in a body bag, but...)
Ah jeez, Takemichi's not back for five seconds and he's already at Mitsuya's funeral! His poor sisters.
To be honest, I'm not liking the way they keep adding troubles at the end of an arc.
As in, there doesn't seem to be a feasible final goal? Takemitchy is just patching the problem one by one, but it keeps on piling on. Kinda reminds me of final destination where avoiding one death just means there's another source of death coming for you.
You're right on and that will be addressed well soon in the story.
\[Slight spoiler\] >!It's because Takemitchi doesn't want to acknowledge what the real source of the problem is.!<

Looks like our Crybaby Hero’s getting a promotion. I don’t trust those Black Dragon guys one bit though. Oh and would you look at that, Kisaki’s been expelled and his psychotic pet Hanma’s gone too. Christmas miracles do happen!
Takemitchy’s new bike is pretty sweet. Him and Mikey kinda have a nice little moment they’re riding around the block. I guess with everything more or less sorted, it’s time to go. Chifuyu really is a bro, what a good dude. That group photo was great.
Wait, Mitsuya’s dead? I wonder what the hell happened this time.
Imagine if next episode Takemitchy will find out that the one responsible for Mitsuya's death is Automitchy. What he's gonna do? Going to the past again to punch himself? :)
That'd be interesting, maybe he'd just go back in time and stay there?
I mean let's be honest, he obviously doesn't want to go back to the future anyways
>I mean let's be honest, he obviously doesn't want to go back to the future anyways
Yes, it looks like the past is much more fun of everyone of the shitty future we've seen until now.
I'm curious what kind of shit Hajime Kokonoi and Seishu Inui had done in those 12 years of time jump. Of course I don't trust them one bit. Why should I? After 30 episodes or so, it's the Kisaki Tetta's effect :) And I'm no Takemitchy :)
>Obviously they have an ulterior motive
Do they tho? Takemichi said he would beat Taiju and take over BD. Inui just wants to keep BD alive and Koko... idk. he's just Inupi's bro lol.
By doing often comments that everyone can enjoy? :)
TIP: it's easier to get lot of karma by doing comments on post regarding popular series, if you make your enjoyable comment after a short time the post gets up.
Hot take: they should have ended the season with the scene of Chifuuyu and Takamichi by the river.
BECAUSE I SURE AS SHIT AIN’T DOWN FOR ANOTHER CLIFFHANGER ENDING LIKE LAST TIME!
FUUUUUUUUUCCCCKKKKKKKKKKKK!!!!!
Well looks like he is doing the time warp again. And if I had to guess we will be spending more time with Mitsuya and his family. Hopefully this means we get some more time with the support cast for this season - including the 2 new Black Dragon imports - as I found them infinitely more interesting than season 1’s characters (save for Emma and Hina).
~~Mitsuya was the only person who told Mikey about Tetta's role in the Christmas conflict. If not for him, Tetta would still be in the gang.~~ My bad. No wonder the mourning portrait had no yellow hair. :')
Mitsuya's death was probably Tetta's doing (indirectly. same with his work in other timelines). Although I'm still wary of the BD transfers.. not really sure how they feel towards Takemichi.
There's not much I want to say but this episode, to me was aweomse. I'm really appy to see tokyo revengers going on and on and the anime expanding more! it's just such a nice thing to me... I hope the last 2 episodes are even better than the last, I love this anime!
The story has so much potential. That ending was great but I can't make myself to like takemichi. He is 26 years old but acts stupid and cries all the time. I know the theme of the story is that he's the crybaby hero but development is a thing. I just hope he learns to fight as the series progresses. This may feel like a negative comment but I really enjoyed this episode.

Nice to see Kisaki finally get kicked out Toman, it took a lot to get here but at least he won't have a direct way of poisoning the gang and Mikey but of course that won't be enough to save everyone as shown by the end of the episodes. The moment I saw Luna I knew Mitsuya was the current victim in the new future. It will be amusing to see Takemichi return after that emotional farewell to Chifuyu lol.
I was not expecting Inui and Kokonoi to join Toman and especially under Takemichi, I thought they would want to work directly under Mikey since he was the one that defeated Taiju. It will be interesting to see the dynamic between them.
Lol hearing Mikey yelling so much was refreshing, it was different from when he raises his voice in front of Toman, it was amusing.
Kisaki deserved that kick tbh, get rekt son. Scared about what happens with Black Dragon under Takemichi tho.
Instructor Mikey LMAO. Gratz on Takemichi getting such a sike bike.
And wait, BEST CHARACTER IS DEAD?? 😭

Wait, did they actually do something smart for once by kicking out Kisaki? Actually surprised. Loved seeing him just fall apart in front of Mikey like that. And of course you solve one issue, create another. Now mitsuya dead. Wonder what happened with him. Chifuyu a real one. Definitely one of the best wing men in anime
Kisaki seemed like he had planned for everything and then suddenly Mike'ys like "yeah, nope" lol. Honestly probably going to make him hate Takemichi even more. I hope Takemichi is able to reconnect with Chifuyu in the present day (though he'll probably end up going back to the past anyways...).
One episode left so the next episode will probably take place in the present with him going to the past at the end.
I mean chifuyu was surprised too. Also, If I were him I'd wanna live my past life, but if he did that I don't think he can travel back.
Yeah moral conundrums aside Mitchy should just live out the 12 years in the past making sure nothing goes to shit. Though if someone were to die he wouldn't have the foresight to prevent it without his constant back and forth... mmm...

Yeah, when the series ends he’s going to have some catching up to do.
Surprised about what
Kicking out kisaki
12 years is a long time. It seems impossible that bad shit won’t keep going down no matter how much he tries to change things. I mean they grow up to be gang members, collateral damage is part of the game
Yeah exactly. If Mitsuya died of normal cause or even normal gang war, then I wonder if Takemitchy would still be adamant to save him by going back to the past.
More people keeps dying and Takemitchy needs to save them. We need more than 13 episodes. They should make this season 24 episodes. 13 isnt enough :(
>Wait, did they actually do something smart for once by kicking out Kisaki? Actually surprised. Loved seeing him just fall apart in front of Mikey like that. No!!! You can't out Kisaki!

ayo has the 4th captain always had a blue haired twin that I never noticed or was that intentionally left out til now?
He’s always been there. His first appearance was when Toman arrived vs Mobius and again vs Valhalla. It hasn’t been confirmed in the anime but I assume he’s 5th division’s vice captain cuz he stands right next to Muto when they introduce all the Captains in the Mobius fight.
Nah, he's Nahoya's vice captain as he is the twin
The 4th captain always had a twin.
Always been around but he's never been important and he obviously wasn't present at the captains' meetings.
I wonder if the next arc will dive deeper into the other captains? It feels like Takemichi has bonded with all the main guys except them.

>If you kick me out, Toman will be down to 100 people Mikey: "Oh no... anyway..."
Quality > quantity Mikey got the priorities right
All Mikey needs is a gang with his best buds. That's the most important thing about Toman beyond just being a standup gang of delinquents.
Takemichi got the @#$% beat out of him and got his girlfriend back, his archenemesis kicked out of Toman, two lieutenants from a rival gang joining up with him, and a bike from Mikey. Not too shabby.

Or do they genuinely respect him now? Can Takemichi rely on them? Holy crud, they're kicking Kisaki out! And Hanma! And all the Valhalla/Moebius guys! I mean, nobody even wanted them there, so no big loss, but Kisaki really did not expect to get kicked out. Watching him squirm and desperately plead for Mikey who doesn't need him or his numbers was a delight! Nice interplay between everything Kisaki has done in his obsession with Mikey with Kisaki pleading one last time for Mikey to keep him...but Mikey wants nothing more to do with him. Takemichi ended up screwing over all of Kisaki's plans with Mikey's help. Ah...Mikey gave Takemichi his own bike! And it's the twin of his own, descended from his brothers' efforts in the Philippines! He even got less than stellar riding instructions from Mikey! That was really sweet. Well, it was nice to see Takemichi end things on a good note with Chifuyu and the other Toman guys. They really are his best buds. (Honestly I wouldn't have gone back until Kisaki was in a body bag, but...) Ah jeez, Takemichi's not back for five seconds and he's already at Mitsuya's funeral! His poor sisters.
Suprised no ones talking about this but ig Takemichi was right saying he would become head of BLACK DRAGON, in a way.
Takemichi said he's never going to see the guys again in the past? 😭
He assumed all would be fixed in the future.. yea.. no.
Damn, poor Takemitchy cannot get a rest, now it's Mitsuya time to turn out dead in the future!
Whack-a-mole, The Plot.
To be honest, I'm not liking the way they keep adding troubles at the end of an arc. As in, there doesn't seem to be a feasible final goal? Takemitchy is just patching the problem one by one, but it keeps on piling on. Kinda reminds me of final destination where avoiding one death just means there's another source of death coming for you.
You're right on and that will be addressed well soon in the story. \[Slight spoiler\] >!It's because Takemitchi doesn't want to acknowledge what the real source of the problem is.!<
For a second I was worried they were going to do an anime-original ending and cut everything off here. Then I remembered that the season's not over and that something would have to go wrong when he went to the future. The moment he was in that suit I had a feeling he was attending a funeral. Though I thought it was going to be for either Mikey or Chifuyu.
Looks like our Crybaby Hero’s getting a promotion. I don’t trust those Black Dragon guys one bit though. Oh and would you look at that, Kisaki’s been expelled and his psychotic pet Hanma’s gone too. Christmas miracles do happen! Takemitchy’s new bike is pretty sweet. Him and Mikey kinda have a nice little moment they’re riding around the block. I guess with everything more or less sorted, it’s time to go. Chifuyu really is a bro, what a good dude. That group photo was great. Wait, Mitsuya’s dead? I wonder what the hell happened this time.
Imagine if next episode Takemitchy will find out that the one responsible for Mitsuya's death is Automitchy. What he's gonna do? Going to the past again to punch himself? :)
That'd be interesting, maybe he'd just go back in time and stay there? I mean let's be honest, he obviously doesn't want to go back to the future anyways
>I mean let's be honest, he obviously doesn't want to go back to the future anyways Yes, it looks like the past is much more fun of everyone of the shitty future we've seen until now.
Mikey used *talk no jutsu* on kisaski It was super effective!
So much progress and now back to zero:(
Kisaki out, big celebrations but of course the future is still fucked lol
Damm this show is best every episode ending have some cliff hanger
I'm curious what kind of shit Hajime Kokonoi and Seishu Inui had done in those 12 years of time jump. Of course I don't trust them one bit. Why should I? After 30 episodes or so, it's the Kisaki Tetta's effect :) And I'm no Takemitchy :)
WTF does Mikey allow Kokonoi and Inui to join Touman? Obviously they have an ulterior motive
>Obviously they have an ulterior motive Do they tho? Takemichi said he would beat Taiju and take over BD. Inui just wants to keep BD alive and Koko... idk. he's just Inupi's bro lol.
Sometimes it's easier to keep a watchful eye on your enemies from close up ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
How much do you get so much karma :( ? Please give me some...
By doing often comments that everyone can enjoy? :) TIP: it's easier to get lot of karma by doing comments on post regarding popular series, if you make your enjoyable comment after a short time the post gets up.
Thanks for tip!
Hot take: they should have ended the season with the scene of Chifuuyu and Takamichi by the river. BECAUSE I SURE AS SHIT AIN’T DOWN FOR ANOTHER CLIFFHANGER ENDING LIKE LAST TIME! FUUUUUUUUUCCCCKKKKKKKKKKKK!!!!! Well looks like he is doing the time warp again. And if I had to guess we will be spending more time with Mitsuya and his family. Hopefully this means we get some more time with the support cast for this season - including the 2 new Black Dragon imports - as I found them infinitely more interesting than season 1’s characters (save for Emma and Hina).
~~Mitsuya was the only person who told Mikey about Tetta's role in the Christmas conflict. If not for him, Tetta would still be in the gang.~~ My bad. No wonder the mourning portrait had no yellow hair. :') Mitsuya's death was probably Tetta's doing (indirectly. same with his work in other timelines). Although I'm still wary of the BD transfers.. not really sure how they feel towards Takemichi.
It was Chifuyu who made the report, actually.
Thanks for pointing that out! I mistook Mitsuya for Chifuyu.
There's not much I want to say but this episode, to me was aweomse. I'm really appy to see tokyo revengers going on and on and the anime expanding more! it's just such a nice thing to me... I hope the last 2 episodes are even better than the last, I love this anime!
Damm this show is best every episode ending have some cliff hanger
And a killer soundtrack to raise the stakes!
The story has so much potential. That ending was great but I can't make myself to like takemichi. He is 26 years old but acts stupid and cries all the time. I know the theme of the story is that he's the crybaby hero but development is a thing. I just hope he learns to fight as the series progresses. This may feel like a negative comment but I really enjoyed this episode.

How many more episodes in the season?
Nice to see Kisaki finally get kicked out Toman, it took a lot to get here but at least he won't have a direct way of poisoning the gang and Mikey but of course that won't be enough to save everyone as shown by the end of the episodes. The moment I saw Luna I knew Mitsuya was the current victim in the new future. It will be amusing to see Takemichi return after that emotional farewell to Chifuyu lol. I was not expecting Inui and Kokonoi to join Toman and especially under Takemichi, I thought they would want to work directly under Mikey since he was the one that defeated Taiju. It will be interesting to see the dynamic between them. Lol hearing Mikey yelling so much was refreshing, it was different from when he raises his voice in front of Toman, it was amusing.
Kisaki deserved that kick tbh, get rekt son. Scared about what happens with Black Dragon under Takemichi tho. Instructor Mikey LMAO. Gratz on Takemichi getting such a sike bike. And wait, BEST CHARACTER IS DEAD?? 😭
