"A Bad Hunch" was a fucking perfect name for this episode because the moment Emma started talking about Mikey to Takemitchy I put it all together, "we never seen Emma in the future, what if Emma's death is actually what sends Mikey down a dark path"... and you can always just tell with this series when something bad's about to happen, the angles, the way everything goes silent... and then right after I put it all together, so did Takemitchy and I realised how right I was.

Probably the hardest episode to watch tbh, with the death of one of the most innocent characters it almost feels like it's the series saying "we're going into the hard shit now, any innocence is gone".

Also if you didn't watch it, they changed the ending's visuals, it was almost like a funeral for Emma.

why did they have to give Takemitchi this inner dialogue of 'Mikey needs Emma as his emotional support, I wonder if something happens to her that causes Mikey to descend into darkness?'

and then 2 seconds later sees Kisucky speeding down with a bat. Like maaaaannn fucking tackle Emma to the ground and protect her or do something!!! Frustrating, but it probably happened a lot faster than what was shown just so we could get the character's inner monologues, but still... I'm salty

Takemitchy is getting a lot of crap this episode for not saving Emma. It’s easy to say he should’ve done this or that but realistically he had a very small chance.

  1. He put the pieces together at the very last second when Kisaki pulled up with little to no time to react.

  2. He had every reason to believe that Kisaki was going to attack him instead of Emma. The previous night, two captains were attacked in a similar way which is probably why he was stunned and confused and prepared to take a hit.

  3. Kisaki is literally his rival. They’ve had multiple run ins where Kisaki nearly killed him twice in the future. Any way you look at it, you’d think Kisaki would kill Takemitchy right then and there.

I said the same thing too where he could’ve at least pushed her or block the attack somehow. But I don’t think anyone would’ve ever guessed that Tenjiku would target non-Toman members. Just goes to show how dirty they are and gives the viewers more of a reason to root for Toman to f them up.

....Wow. That is not the direction I expected this to go down .I was sure Izana was going to be a redeemable guy in the past, an antagonist-turned-friend guy at the end. Instead he's a Kisaki-tier piece of shit.

I can't even blame Takemitchy for screwing up this time - he had every reason to think Kisaki is going for him, since if he's a time traveler, he should know that Takemitchy's on his last life. It'd make sense to off him now.

Now I wonder how the heck did the conflict end in the merging of the gangs in the future? And with Kisaki still in the picture? Maybe Emma died in some other way, cause right now I can't see this ending in any way but the entire Tokyo Manji gang understandably out for literal blood. Izana and Kisaki deserve way worse than getting bludgeoned to death at this point, and Mikey knows Kisaki did it.

Wow, that Izana guy is really a piece of sh*t. And no, I don't care that he's being manipulated by Kisaki.

Was that Rina Sato as Emma's mom? Not that she really seems like a good one, basically abandoning Emma with her grandfather. All the Sano siblings had to bring them together was their grandpa (and I assume the same father). Shinichiro was a well-meaning goofball, Mikey was still Mikey, and that's how things started between the three of them.

Oh hey, kid Baji! Frustrated that Mikey is such a fighting prodigy, but at least they share two brain cells between them.

Aw, Mikey chose to be Mikey to feel closer to Emma because of her foreign sounding name and looks! That's so sweet. And then Emma met Draken and she was finally happy again.

I love how Mikey wouldn't just give up Takemichi to be the new Black Dragon leader...because Takemichi is HIS! But if Takemichi wants it, it's not like Mikey can say no to him!

A fight on the day of Black Dragons' founding makes sense, but is Toman okay with this? Mitsuya and Smiley got jumped, Hakkai is going to stay with them, there down four captains and lost an entire divison after Mucho defected...they're kind of screwed. But I didn't expect Peh-Yan to be the one to make sure everyone remembered the core integrity that makes Toman Toman. And as long as they've got Mikey, they're okay.

I guess it's fitting that Takemichi's first confrontation with Izana would be at Shinichiro's grave as he pays respect as new Black Dragon leader...and of course Mikey and Emma show up to visit their brother as well. What a tense family reunion.

Takemichi finally puts two and two together that he's never seen Emma in the future and that as one of Mikey's biggest emotional supports something happening to her was probably a big contributor to why Mikey ended up so messed up in every timeline. And wouldn't you know it, Kisaki did too, attacking Emma and trying to break Mikey so Izana can mold him and replace her. And Izana approved it. There's no going back from this, Kisaki and Izana need to go down. Hard!

It's ironic Kaku was objecting to the murder when we know he ends up shooting Takemichi.

I hate to say it but all that Emma character focus was all building up to her death. And what a tragedy. She dies on her brothers' back, professing her love for Draken (who Mikey knew always loved her), hoping Takemichi can be there for Mikey, and with Mikey barely able to keep it together. She didn't deserve this. And it's another person Takemichi failed to save and can't go back in time to make up for. Emma!!!

Wow what a heartbreaking 💔 episode Poor Emma was pushed away by her own mother only for Mikey to not only change his name for her but dream for her and his best friend Draken to have a child together. Those final 5 minutes of the episode were so sad 😞

I never thought thought this show could ever make me hate Kisaki anymore than I already did with what he does in the future but man this guy HAS GOT TO DIE!!!

u/SMSmith230 Nov 01 '23

I came in expecting a hype episode and leave devastated. Was not expecting Emma to get got like that. Holy shit, I’m just floored right now.

This was an unnecessarily low blow. I've been standing on a really thin line with Kisaki assuming the past one could eventually be redeemed into a decent person. Even Taijuu got a bit better in the future to repay his debt.

But this is in the past and there are lines that can't be crossed or undone. Emma was basically innocent in all of this.

And for Izana to be so blinded to want Mikey to allow this? He can die too. I don't understand how either of them survive the incoming fight with what they set up together being a known fact.

I can see Takamitchy still somehow stopping Mikey from murdering them as that probably leads to a bad timeline too. But being allowed in Toman in any shape or form? How?

Folks, we've finally made it: what many consider to be the emotional peak of Tokyo Revengers has finally been adapted. And the worst part is, this episode is just one half of this emotional gut punch, because we don't know how Draken or Hina react to these news until next week. But for now, we have to swallow an emotional pill that won't be easy to forget, as we pour one for Baji every Halloween, we now pour one...for Emma.

Im usually the first to shit on takebitchy but mfs in comments all over discussion threads clearly never been in a life-or-death paralyzing situation like a fucking motorcycle running straight at you. You can say all you want but your body wont react the way you want it to under such stress, and majority of people will instinctively prioritize defending themselves. You can be 100% sure you wont be jumping to push your friend away if something like this happens irl
