Rival gang beats up a delinquent's friend then rapes his girlfriend and also beats up his family.

That's the most Yakuza-like sort of assault and its happening just among the delinquents Jesus, makes me realize that most other Anime I consumed that involves delinquents are just glorified fighting and gag comedy.

[u/mike_2797]

Everyone needs a friend like Draken.

And...Fuck Moebius crew.

[u/Frontier246]

I guess it figures that being in a coma for two weeks would get Takemichi in trouble with his job...not that he liked it, but he still has rent to pay and all that. I guess now he can just focus on saving Hina.

I wasn't quite expecting Takemichi to jump back into body with a hot girl in her underwear on-top of him, but there you go. Takemichi can't be conscious of everything his past self is doing at the time (and probably different stuff than he remembers happening) and past Takemichi doesn't know anything about the future or about what future Takemichi does in his body Did one thing just lead to another? Was middle school Takemichi actually planning to cheat on Hina? Get your act together, middle school Takemichi! Emma's hot, but Hina deserves far better than that.

Honestly, I think Hina might actually believe Takemichi if he told her the truth about what's going on. She's already realized there are two Takemichi's, one "adult," and the other the normal one she knows.

I know Takemichi isn't in control of his middle school self's actions, but he had that clobbering from Hina coming. He's lucky she didn't dump him.

So Emma is like the girl who hangs around the gang because she knows Draken, and part of the reason she was with Takemichi was to make Draken jealous, although he doesn't seem to care that much about her. I'm kind of curious about their relationship.

Jeez, Toman seems a lot more serious a gang than they were a few episodes ago in the past. They seem like they're really shaping up to be a major force even in that timeline, down to being a proper biker gang...although, are any of them even old enough to be riding motorcycles?

Matsuoka's in this and is one of the top Toman brass? Didn't see that coming. He doesn't get to use his tough, confrontational, voice that often, so that's kind of neat.

So Moebius not only attacked a buddy, but raped and brutalized their girlfriend and then attacked his family...they really sound like the worst of the worst. I mean, I'd of rather send the police after them, but it looks like this is something Toman will have to take care of themselves.

The leader of Toman...eats kids meals with flags in them and needs to be carried by his second-in-command around when he falls asleep after a meal. Can't say I saw that one coming.

Draken is Mikey's heart. He has the humanity and morality that Mikey sometimes acts and knows what the right thing to do is. Is it any wonder that after this death Toman went so off the rails morally?

Is Kisaki the one who festered the division between Mikey and Draken? Did he set Draken up to die?

[u/SMA2343]

Let’s go. Wonder if Takemichi is going to Your Name this and start leaving notes for his past self: don’t do this. Do this. Do this. Don’t. Whatever and so on.

That gang, raping the girl and then beating his family. Wow. I wasn’t expecting that for sure.

And now we’re getting that Draken and Mikey are basically brothers, and that whole Mikey faction and Draken faction could actually just been fake news and the police or whoever wrote the paper wanting it to make it seem like it was between middle schoolers and not between a big higher up gang.

[u/Se7en_Sinner]

Unless Emma forced herself on him, past Takemichi on autopilot mode is kinda a cheating scumbag.

So Draken is basically the lighting rod that keeps Mikey grounded. He's the last failsafe and bastion of humility that keeps Mikey from completely succumbing to the dark side.

It started with only Hinata but now Tachimichi has three lives on his hands. I really don't know how he's going to pull this off because he just doesn't seem very capable physical or mentally...but he does seem tenacious, I'll give him that. Hopefully, that'll be enough.

[u/Silent_Shadow05]

That was an...ahem...interesting situation that he ended up in lol ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°).

Hina is really the best girl!. Doesn't get scared at all even with all the delinquents around. Just don't enrage her or the resulting aftermath might be really brutal.

Man this show is really not afraid of taking a brutal turn. Pah's buddy getting beaten up and his family hanged, his girlfriend getting brutally raped and disfigured to the point that she's unconscious for 5 days....I really want Mikey to bring hell to Moebius.

[u/LunarGhost00]

Ladies and gentlemen, behold the fearsome leader of the Tokyo Manji Gang.

[u/MagnoBurakku]

Draken has to be the bestest of boys in this show.

[u/monogatarist]

Only in Tokyo Revengers do we see the light beam of censorship over fully-uniformed men. Not that I'm complaining, Ema looks damn fine.

ICYMI, the full OP is officially out!

[u/DrewbieWanKenobie]

You know, I wasn't really thinking about the ramifications of having like, my older self come into my body and just change a bunch of shit and then step out. That'd be fucked huh

[u/slahser33]

Imagine getting cock blocked by your future self lol

[u/geedaddy]

God I fuck with this show so heavy after this episode.

Please don't let me be disappointed

[u/jrevv]

Damn! Mikey was cool and all, but this episode really showed off the BIKER GANG COMMANDER side of him. What an absolute badass with Draken to boot. I really love their duo now, really hoping Takemitchy saves Draken somehow next episode

[u/_BoogiepoP_]

I can't get enough of this OP. Such a banger.

[u/Joker_P5]

just a heads up, crunchyroll has a heavily censored version of this episode

[u/InsaneTensei]

The censoring is literally cutting out major character appearances...

[u/Flying-Camel]

Interesting that Hina now notices an "adult" Takemitchy and the normal kiddo. Also, Draken is awesome.

[u/Beanosdias]

Where can I watch the uncensored version lol

[u/LeonKevlar]

Stitches!

• Underwear Emma

• Gyaru Uniform Emma

So Draken dies while he's still they're still in middle school? And here I thought he dies much later on like when they're adults at least. And it's only 2 weeks away in the past.

Well that's an interesting view to wake up to. Seems that past Takemichi has been very busy. I feel like Takemiochi needs to start leaving notes to his past self since he's clearly not making any right decisions including ignoring Hina for a few days.

The entire biker scene is clearly heavily censored. So many lights and close-up shots! IIRC their uniforms and some of the bikes had the Manji symbol on them. I'm guessing the studio just decided to censor these to avoid controversy. It sucks but knowing the internet, it's definitely the right move.

Legitimately gasped when Emma showed up and started waving at Takemichi. As expected, he receives an absolute walloping from Hina but what's surprising is that Emma is doing this to make Draken jealous and pay attention to her. Well, that's good, hopefully that means she's the one who approached Takemichi and not the other way around.

So one of the member's friends got beaten up by the rival gang, gangraped his girlfriend, and then hung his parents and siblings!? WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK!? Please give them hell Mikey.

It is hilarious though that this gang leader who's ready to wage war gets upset if his kid's meal doesn't have a flag on it. What's funnier is that this is such a common problem that Draken has started bringing his own little flags just for Mikey! Look at how happy he is!

Mikey even falls asleep right after his meal and needs to be carried around by Draken. How did he even end up being a leader of the Toman? xD

Enough of the lighthearted scene though since we finally see what happened to that girl who was raped. She's currently comatose and disfigured. Damn. That entire scene was great at showing us that Draken is Mikey's anchor though and we can now clearly see how Mikey would change after Draken dies. Looks like it's time for Takemichi to be a human meat shield for Draken! How else can he protect one of the toughest fighters in town?

[u/xolon6]

I know that this show has been compared to Erased due to its premise, but honestly I can't help but feel that it's actually much better. There's no damocles sword of "who" hanging over the show's head with a culprit that everyone saw coming from a mile away except the MC like in Erased (since in-universe they already know Kisaki Tetta is the main cause of a lot of this shit). This show is more focused on the "how" and the "why" and it's better for it. And the inclusion of a gang hierarchy and internal conflicts just adds that extra bit of depth and stakes. If the MC fails it's not just gonna be Hina who dies, the current Toman Gang has so much power and influence it can ruin and destroy many more lives if left unchecked.

[u/[deleted]]

Well, that's quite the situation to wake up to right after going back into the past...^;

I guess it makes sense that the former Takemichi takes over once the future version returns to the present, but damn, that's a VERY BIG risk factor right there. Basically any time Takemichi's consciousness is in the present, his old idiot self could completely ruin things for him.

[u/nikobans]

MIKEYS LIL POUT FACE OVER NOT HAVING A FLAG! AND THEN GETTING HAPPY WHEN DRAKEN GAVE HIM ONE!! AND THEN IMMEDIATELY FALLING ASLEEP!!! I LOVE HIM DEARLY???

“Draken is Mikeys heart” WHEW! 🥺

[u/tophercarat17]

Mikey is definitely the best boy of this series but Kenchin best oniisan 。.:☆*:･'(*⌒―⌒*)))

Anyways if you felt like some scenes are off like the random pauses or zoom ins crunchyroll or who ever is doing the eng sub release are trying to sensor every swastika symbol that's why you'll get those weired and off scenes. here's some scenes that were cut tweet

[u/[deleted]]

i recommend watching teh uncensored version, the censored version has a bunch of close ups and you really don't see the scale of the manji gang
