The Tokyo Revengers manga has reached volume 28. As a result of the manga’s overwhelming success, it was adapted into a television series. Ken Wakui created both the text and the artwork for Tokyo Revengers. On September 19, 2021, the first season of the anime/manga was released. It consisted of 24 episodes.
The popularity of the first season led to the confirmation of a second season of Tokyo Revengers for Jump Festa 2022. Tokyo Revengers Season 2 is still in development, but there is no word on when it will premiere. The manga has officially started its final arc. The next issue of Weekly Shnen Jump will have Chapter 272 of Tokyo Revengers.
Nonetheless, we shall not go into the manga’s plot here. Let’s check out what’s new in Season 2 of Tokyo Revengers. The January 2023 premiere of Season 2 of Tokyo Revengers has been confirmed. Both “The Black Dragon arc” and “Tenjiku arc,” popularly known as the “Christmas Showdown arc,” will be featured in the new release. The Christmas Showdown arc from Wakui’s original manga will be adapted into an anime series, as was announced in a promotional video published earlier this year. Let’s review the first season of Tokyo Revengers before diving into the potential storyline for the second.
In the opening scene of Tokyo Revengers, we meet Takemichi Hanagaki, a 26-year-old virgin who learns through the news that his middle school ex-girlfriend Hinata Tachibana and her younger brother Naoto were killed by the Yakuza. He wakes up 12 years in the past after being forced into train tracks one day. In that instant, he’d understand that he can travel across time at will. He alters history by travelling back in time 12 years in an effort to rescue Hinata.
In order to protect his buddies, he joins the Tokyo Manji Gang. Takemichi, who has recently had the happiest times of his life, vows to get his retribution. Season 2 of Tokyo Revengers will follow Takemichi’s journey in the present day. His buddies will still be killed, and he’ll learn that the Tokyo Manji Gang has expanded into a major criminal organisation by absorbing the Black Dragons.
When he goes back in time, he sees that Taiju, the current head of the Black Dragons and Hakkai’s elder brother, orders Hakkai to quit the Tokyo Manji Gang and join the Black Dragons, which ultimately leads to the merger of the two gangs. Mitsuya, a member of the Second Division, anticipates a substantial future with the gang.
Takemichi Hanagaki, Takashi Mitsuya, Chifuyu Matsuno, Keisuke Baji, Ken Ryuguji, and Manjiro Sano have all been confirmed to return for Season 2 of the Tokyo Revengers anime series, as shown in the official announcement video. Takemichi will be voiced by Yuuki Shin, Ken by Tatsuhisa Suzuki, Sano by Yuu Hayashi, Baji by Masaaki Mizunaka, Hanemiya by Shunichi Toki, and Kisaki by Shoutarou Morikubo. A date for the premiere of Season 2 of Tokyo Revengers has not been set.
