Fans of the Tokyo Revengers manga were taken aback earlier today by the revelation that Chapter 275 had leaked online in raw scan form. Fans have been right on the money about the series developing to a certain point, but it hasn’t lessened the blow when it finally arrives. Indeed, it appears to have heightened the emotional effect. Just a few more chapters to go, and Tokyo Revengers, a series that has been met with much criticism, will finally come to a close.
Fans had been critical of series creator Ken Wakui and artist Ken Sugimori as the last arc advanced, but this issue and the ones before it appear to have won them back. Whatever the case may be, readers aren’t only upset by what happened in this issue—they’re also more eager than ever to find out how the story ends and what happens to their favourite characters. Please be aware that the following article contains spoilers for Tokyo Revengers Chapter 275.
Tokyo Revengers Chapter 275 marks the beginning of the series’ final decline
Available spoilers and raw scans for Tokyo Revengers Chapter 275 indicate that the story picks off just where the previous issue left off. With Takemichi’s assurance that he can trust the Dark Impulse to lead him, Mikey is able to let go of his rational mind and grab a katana to defend himself. Shortly after the two men began fighting, Takemichi was wounded by Mikey’s katana. Nonetheless, he walked closer to Mikey despite the pain caused by the sword’s impalement. The shocked Mikey is embraced by him as he claims victory.
This gradually evolves into a scream of pure, unadulterated grief. Fans are fixated on the similarities between Takemichi’s death scene and their past contacts with Mikey in this issue. Many followers have come out to say that the impact of this seemingly insignificant change has left them emotionally devastated. Some Mikey and Takemichi supporters have speculated that Mikey could inherit Takemichi’s time-travel abilities. Takemichi holds Mikey’s hands at the scene where his death is confirmed, much as Shinichiro holds Takemichi’s hands to pass on his time-travel abilities.
Therefore, many viewers are crossing their fingers that Mikey would somehow change the past and bring Takemichi back to life. Many viewers are rooting for this to happen, not just for themselves, but also for the sake of a particular character. When Mikey confirmed that Takemichi was dead, the news devastated Chifuyu, a character who was close to him.
One reader even went so far as to label series creator Ken Wakui the “true villain of the narrative” for penning such a bleak and disturbing issue. This is apparently meant as a compliment since many readers have shared similar thoughts and thanked Wakui for the developments in Tokyo Revengers Chapter 275.
However, not everyone in the fandom shares this opinion, and some people are upset over Wakui’s decision to murder Takemichi. No of how individual readers of Tokyo Revengers feel about the chapter, it’s evident that practically everyone who has followed the story has felt something when reading this particular chapter. In any case, this is undeniably indicative of genuine and high-calibre artistic production.
