![]() ![]() Luckily, since the manga is close to ending and the anime is already in its second season, there is plenty of official confirmation about each character’s personal details. The heights, birthdays, and ages of the Tokyo Revengers characters can be hard to track because of how much time-jumping happens within the show. Here’s hoping Takemichi will be able to save Mikey - and finally give him the happy ending he so truly deserves.Our readers support us. And when Mikey emotionally implores him to save him from the darkness, Takemichi finds himself (perhaps inadvertently) on yet another time leap - this time to his high school years in 2008. He even tries to take his own life during the Bonten Arc, but Takemichi comes to the rescue. Now he’s lost, trapped in the darkness that has been looking deep within him for years. Mikey is emotionally vulnerable, and is easily swayed (read: corrupted) in the absence of a guiding light like family members or friends. He promised Takemichi he’d protect everyone dear to them until they meet again in the future - but unfortunately hasn’t been able to follow through. ![]() His siblings are gone, and he’s distanced himself from the other Toman members there’s no Shinichiro to look up to, no Emma to fight for, and no Draken or Takemichi to act as his brothers in arms. Toman was Mikey’s rock throughout his adolescent years, so its absence must no doubt take its toll on the poor guy. Mikey disbands it, perhaps out of guilt or some sense of responsibility, after Takemichi informs him what becomes of it in the future. With so much suffering and tragedy plaguing his young life, he’s now a shell of his former self - and who could blame him for it?įor starters, as mentioned above, the Tokyo Manji Gang no longer exists. Yes, Mikey is infamous by the time the Bonten Arc rolls around, but his life is also in tatters. Takemichi with the past and the current Mikey. Mikey, now forced to come to grips with the loss of a true brother in arms, is understandably devastated. Mikey resolves to fight Kazutora to the death and end years of bad blood once and for all, but Baji steps in between them and takes his own life to prevent any more carnage between the two former friends. For Kazutora, it may well be a means to an end: the Sano blood on his hands has driven him insane, such that he not only blames Mikey for the death, but also has a long-held desire to “finish the job” and kill Mikey as well. Mikey’s suffering continues some time later, when Kazutora stabs Baji during a conflict between Toman and rival gang Valhalla. Not only does Mikey lose his beloved older brother (for whom he had the utmost respect), he also has to deal with the pain of knowing that the ones responsible were two of his closest comrades. Mikey draken tokyo revengers series#The two break into the elder Sano’s bike shop (without realizing who owns it), intent on stealing a bike as a birthday gift for Mikey himself - and what follows is a tragic series of events that serves as a turning point for everyone involved. Shinichiro meets his demise at the hands of Mikey’s very own friends, Kazutora and Baji. ![]() Death, depression, and despair all rear their ugly head at some point in his life, no matter what timeline Takemichi meets him in. To say that Mikey’s life has been fraught with hardship would be a grievous understatement. It’s all a far cry from the goofball golden days of middle school, and you can bet that Mikey has a part to play in all of it. Toman has established itself as a full-fledged crime syndicate, committing felonies left and right - even killing people without hesitation. It’s nothing more than a typical case of schoolyard testosterone and brotherhood - in fact, its initial members mostly spend their time goofing around with their motorbikes and playing pranks on each other!īut fast-forward to 2017, the “present day” that series protagonist Takemichi originally time leaps from. The Tokyo Manji Gang is founded by a handful of naïve (albeit well-meaning) middle schoolers - Mikey, Draken, Kazutora, Baji, Mitsuya, and Pah-chin - as a means of dealing with a rival gang. You need only look at the Tokyo Manji Gang itself - its members, how it begins, and what it becomes in the future - to get an idea of just how strong a leader Mikey is. ![]()
