After concluding the first season of the Valhalla arc, the story of Tokyo Revengers continues by diving into the events that unfold after Takemichi alters the timeline within the conflict between the Tokyo Manji gang and Valhalla.
So, what does Episode 1 of Tokyo Revengers Season 2 have in store?
1. Takemichi Faces Danger?
After changing the timeline, Takemichi is confronted with harsh realities. At the beginning of Episode 1, he finds himself tied up and lying under the gun of Kisaki.
What’s more troubling is that he cannot rely on his past knowledge because Kisaki Tetta is the one orchestrating everything. However, there’s a twist: when Kisaki is about to shoot Takemichi, he seems to have lost his composure and refers to him as “my hero.”
2. Takemichi’s Encounter with Kazutora
After the dangerous situation with Kisaki, Takemichi is still alive. Kisaki did not shoot him but only shot his legs and threw him out of the Tokyo Manji gang’s hideout.
However, what Takemichi doesn’t realize is that there’s someone who has been secretly helping him, and that person turns out to be Kazutora.
3. Kazutora Explains the Crisis Faced by Tokyo Manji Members
After a nostalgic reunion, Kazutora informs Takemichi that the situation within the Tokyo Manji gang is dire and that it is heading towards destruction due to the change in Mikey’s character. Kazutora explains that the leadership of Tokyo Manji has become oppressive, heavily influenced by Kisaki’s violent tactics and the looming threat from Black Dragon.
However, Mikey’s transformation also impacts many others, especially the core members of Tokyo Manji. While Mitsuya disappears, Pah-chin and Peh-yan are killed when Takemichi is captured. Chifuyu himself has been affected since he was manipulated by Kisaki against Hinata’s welfare.
4. Takemichi Gets Caught by Naoto
To execute a plan to save the Tokyo Manji gang, Kazutora brings Takemichi to meet someone hidden in a tunnel. That person turns out to be the police officer Naoto.
Unexpectedly, instead of a warm greeting, Naoto grabs Takemichi and brings him to the police station regarding a case related to the murder of his sister.
5. Naoto Explains the Changes in the Timeline Post-Valhalla
In the interrogation room at the police station, Naoto shows Takemichi a video recorded by Chifuyu before his disappearance. This video reveals Takemichi as he currently holds an important position within the Tokyo Manji gang. He gives orders to Atsushi to carry out a mission against a threat to their gang.
Despite the fact that Takemichi is caught by Kisaki when he tries to save Hina, it turns out that his actions inadvertently cause harm to his beloved girl. This revelation hits Naoto hard as he realizes that Takemichi’s involvement has caused irreversible damage. In the second video Takemichi views, he sees himself being devastated as he fails to protect Hinata, who becomes the target of violence.
Naoto explains that the changes in the timeline due to Takemichi’s actions “activated” events in the past, leading to a shift in the future as well. However, the overall context of the police remains largely unchanged, as Naoto is still a police officer, and Takemichi’s girlfriend is still targeted for violence on the same day as before. However, the significant change is that Takemichi has become a crucial figure in his gang.
After this, the two agree to team up once again to bring Takemichi back to the past.
6. Takemichi Returns to the Past
After teaming up with Naoto, Takemichi returns to the past, where he finds himself bowling with Hinata. It turns out that during this time, Takemichi had a great love for bowling, even to the point of having a dedicated bowling alley to indulge in his passion.
He continues to roll strikes three times in a row, much to Hinata’s delight, who always encourages him. However, when Takemichi finally throws a perfect strike for the fourth time, he notices that the person next to him has also achieved the same result. That person is Hakkai, along with his sister Yuzuha.
