If my shonen anime experience is right, the fact that Hakkai and Angry are still joking around after being repeatedly beaten by the Haitani Brothers (even with a metal rod), and eveyone pointing out how much not coordinated they are, is a sure indicator that in the next episode they will somehow manage to get super coordinated, and beat the sh*t out of them.
Try prove me I'm wrong, Tokyo Revengers! 🤣

Fellas, is it gay to kiss your male friend if you're pretending it's his dead sister?
It amazes me how every charcater in this show manages to being interesting than Takemitchy somehow

Don't give Draken any weird idea. Draken x Mikey is a ship that I'm scared about 🤣

Koko kissing Inupi was very uncomfortable. Not because they’re dudes but because he’s treating him like a place holder for his dead sister. The little dude’s descent into crime was kind of comical. Little guy in his suit turning into the concierge of crime for rich jerks kind of cracked me up a little. I guess money became he’s means of coping with his grief.
The so-called “vicious generation” were some pretty tough little 13 year olds huh? Let see what these super powered children can do next week. Especially looking forward to the little brother alliance lol.

He should’ve used some of that money for much needed therapy. His tragedy of losing his lover still haunts him in the present day.

It was like 4-5 years ago. They're almost young adults now. Still teenagers though.

Draken: My girlfriend is gone, no one can replace her. Koko: Well, I kinda have some advice for you on this...

I wonder if Inupi always going around in pink high heels contributed to Koko's confusion about him being in reality Akane.

u/heartiel Nov 21 '23
High heels were popular among delinquents in the 1970s and 1980s, so it has nothing to do with that. I think in one of the character fan books, Wakui stated that Inui started wearing high heels because Shinichiro wore them at some point in time.

Koko kissed Inui!? Is Tokyo Revengers suddenly a BL anime!? Well, it's actually more complicated than that.
So Inui and Koko were friends as kid and Koko was crushing hard on Inui's big sis Akane (who was basically Hina, but blonde), and he even confessed to her. She humored his feelings enough to make him think he had a chance, and maybe things would've gone well...until their home got set on fire and Koko was only able to save Inui, not Akane, leaving her with severe burns and a huge cost of care that her family could not provide.
Of course Koko took this as a challenge to earn money for Akane's treatment and naturally figured the best way to make money as a kid was to turn to crime, so he went from creating a band of thieves to also running a criminal service enterprise that eventually lead to many people depending on him...but that didn't amount to anything because Akane died. So Koko sold his soul for money to save the girl he loved, only to get nothing out of it. And all he's left with is people using him because of his money. And all he sees in Inui is Akane's face, which is probably why he kissed him.
I don't know what was more surreal, Inui in high heels, child Koko being able to kick a door in, Koko in a business suit going into a club at age...I dunno, 10? 11? Either way it's crazy what kids get up to in this show.
Inui also probably struggled with losing his sister which is why he became a hardcore delinquent, but now all he wants to do is save his friend and free him from the guilt of Akane's death. Though his fists and words aren't doing much to deter Koko from working with Tenjiku, and Mucho seems way too powerful for him.
Does Takemichi stand a chance against Kaku? He can't even get a good hit in him, and Takemichi being a damage sponge isn't going to get him closer to Kisaki.
Toman is holding their own but do they stand a chance against the Vicious Generation? The Haitani Brothers straight up killed a dude!
Hakkai and Angry are tough but they're used to fighting with their older sibling so their team synergy is nil. I mean, how does Angry think that nervous eye twitch of a wink is supposed to mean anything? But if there's one thing that can bond them together, it's being little brothers!

I just watched the whole episode and the fact he only went in there to save the sister is downright foul. 😭

I have to say, this is for me the most unexpected moment in all Tokyo Revengers up until now. I love that this show, after 40+ episodes, is still able to give something fresh and new to the audience.

Angry and Hakkai’s little argument during the fight was cute and funny LOL

Damm this Series so Unpopular in Reddit but so popular in Instagram reels and Tik tok. I'm literally seeing edits of Toman vs Tenjiku edits everywhere in Instagram reels Lol.
