3.Characters:
The characters are one of the strongest aspects of Tokyo Revengers, and Season 2 introduces some new and interesting ones, as well as giving more depth and backstory to some of the existing ones. The main focus of the season is on the Shiba siblings: Taiju, Hakkai, and Yuzuha. Taiju is the leader of the Black Dragons, and a ruthless and violent man who enjoys beating up his younger siblings and anyone who crosses his path. Hakkai is a former member of the Black Dragons, who left the gang after losing his eye in a fight with Taiju. He is now a friend and ally of Takemichi, and the captain of the 8th division of TOMAN. Yuzuha is the youngest of the Shiba siblings, and a sweet and innocent girl who loves Takemichi and wants to escape from her abusive brother. The season explores the complex and tragic relationship between the Shiba siblings, and how they affect the fate of TOMAN and Takemichi.
Some of the other characters that stand out in the season are Mitsuya, the captain of the 3rd division of TOMAN, who is a loyal and reliable friend of Takemichi and Hakkai; Koko and Inupi, two members of the Black Dragons who switch sides and join TOMAN after Taiju’s defeat; and Mr. Tachibana, Hinata’s father, who opposes Takemichi and Hinata’s relationship and orders Takemichi to break up with her. The season also gives more screen time and development to some of the characters from Season 1, such as Mikey, Draken, Baji, Chifuyu, and Akkun.
4.Story:
The story of Tokyo Revengers Season 2 is a roller coaster ride of emotions, action, and drama. The season starts with a bang, as Takemichi witnesses the death of Akkun, one of his friends from the past, who warns him about Kisaki Tetta, the mysterious and manipulative leader of Valhalla, who has joined TOMAN as the 3rd commander. Takemichi then travels back to the past, where he learns that he has been promoted to the captain of the 1st division of TOMAN, as the successor of Baji, who died in the Valhalla War. He also meets Hakkai, who tells him about the impending war between TOMAN and the Black Dragons, and asks for his help to stop it. Takemichi agrees, and decides to infiltrate the Black Dragons with Hakkai, in order to find out their plans and weaknesses.
The season then follows Takemichi’s adventures and struggles as he tries to prevent the war, while also dealing with his personal issues, such as his relationship with Hinata, his rivalry with Kisaki, and his doubts about his role and future. The season is full of twists and turns, such as the revelation that Taiju is Hakkai’s and Yuzuha’s brother, the betrayal of Akashi, the captain of the 4th division of TOMAN, who joins the Black Dragons, and the appearance of Hanma, the vice-leader of Valhalla, who has a secret alliance with Taiju. The season also has some emotional and heart-wrenching moments, such as the death of Inui, the captain of the 2nd division of TOMAN, who sacrifices himself to save Takemichi, the reunion of Takemichi and Hinata, who confess their love for each other, and the final showdown between Taiju and Hakkai, who fight to the death.
The pacing of the season is fast and intense, with each episode ending with a cliffhanger or a suspenseful scene that makes you want to watch the next one. The season also balances the action and the drama well, with some episodes focusing on the fights and the battles, and some episodes focusing on the characters and their relationships. The season also has some humor and comedy, mostly from Takemichi’s reactions and interactions with the other characters.
5.Ending:
The ending of Tokyo Revengers Season 2 is a mixed bag of emotions, as it wraps up the Christmas Showdown Arc, but also sets up the next arc, the Bloody Halloween Arc. The ending is satisfying in some aspects, but disappointing in others. On the positive side, the ending resolves the conflict between TOMAN and the Black Dragons, and gives a closure to the Shiba siblings’ story. Takemichi and Hakkai manage to defeat Taiju, and end his reign of terror. Hakkai dies in Takemichi’s arms, after telling him to take care of Yuzuha and to live happily with Hinata. Yuzuha is freed from Taiju’s abuse, and joins TOMAN as Hakkai’s successor. Takemichi and Hinata reaffirm their love for each other, and decide to get married. On the negative side, the ending reveals that Kisaki is still alive, and has a plan to take over TOMAN and kill Mikey. Takemichi learns that he has to go back to the past again, and stop Kisaki from ruining everything. The ending also shows that Hanma has escaped from prison, and has joined forces with Kisaki.
6.Conclusion:
Tokyo Revengers Season 2 is a great anime adaptation of the Christmas Showdown Arc of the manga. It is a thrilling and emotional story that follows Takemichi and his friends as they try to prevent a war between TOMAN and the Black Dragons, and face new enemies, allies, and challenges. The season has a lot of strengths, such as the characters, the story, the music, and the ending. It also has some weaknesses, such as the direction and the animation. However, the strengths outweigh the weaknesses, and the season is a enjoyable and satisfying watch. My final verdict for Tokyo Revengers Season 2 is 8 out of 10. I recommend this show to anyone who likes action, drama, romance, and time travel. I also encourage you to read the manga, as it has more details and scenes that the anime skipped or changed.
