Spoilers for tomorrow’s Tokyo Revengers chapter 275 reveal in no uncertain terms how mangaka Wakui intends to cap up his magnum work. The terrible conclusion presented in this chapter has shocked the fanbase, who had anticipated a long battle between the protagonist and the deuteragonist. However, unless Wakui plans on ending his series on a sour note, the events in chapter 275 of Tokyo Revengers also lay the groundwork for a last-time jump. There are only three more episodes remaining in the story, and if today’s spoilers are accurate, the spotlight may start to shine on Mikey.
Warning: The following article includes plot details from the upcoming Tokyo Revengers chapter 275.
Spoilers for Chapter 275 of Tokyo Revenger show that the main character seemingly dies at Mikey’s hands. Spoilers for Tokyo Revengers chapter 275 state that Mikey surrenders his willpower to the Dark Impulse at the outset of this chapter. As he and his companion fight in a rapid-fire battle, Takemichi observes that this suits him just fine. Mikey grabs Sanzu’s dropped katana and attacks the second Gen Toman president, slicing his arm. Takemichi takes a deep breath and refocuses before charging Mikey again. When Mikey finally gets the upper hand, he thrusts the katana into Takemichi’s chest after several rounds of fighting.
To everyone’s surprise, however, the latter continues to move toward the sword and ultimately hugs the Kantou Manji president. Takemichi insists that this triumph is rightfully his, while Mikey seems completely unconvinced. Takemichi’s final phone conversation with Mikey, in which he addresses the latter as his buddy, snaps Mikey out of his Dark Impulse-induced daze. Amid the child’s collapse, he grabs Mikey’s hand while Mikey shakes his companion and verifies in a stupor that the boy is no longer breathing. Particularly poignant is Chifuyu’s distress in Tokyo Revengers chapter 275. Mikey finally sees the light at the end of the chapter, and he screams out in horror at what he has done.
Observations
Mikey grabbing up Sanzu’s katana is a sign that the Dark Impulses prompted him to fight in an atypical way, as readers have seldom seen him utilise a weapon in a serious fight before. Mikey’s greatest fear, which the Impulse feeds on, is isolation, which is why the term “friends” jolted him out of his coma. After much deliberation, Takemichi decides to sacrifice himself in order to show Mikey that he is not alone. Raw scans of Tokyo Revengers chapter 275 show what seems to be Takemichi’s murder, which is eerily similar to the scenario where Mikey was killed in Manila, Philippines, during the Black Dragon arc. Takemichi is shown clutching Mikey’s hand as he stops breathing, mimicking the gesture Shinichiro used to pass on the Time-Leaping ability to Takemichi.
Last words
While the bulk of the dialogue from the raw scans of Tokyo Revengers chapter 275 cannot be validated without the official translation, it can be assumed that Takemichi’s last remarks were to reassure Mikey. This succeeded in producing regret and agony, which may one day prompt Mikey to act rashly. Mikey may attempt suicide by cutting himself with Sanzu’s katana, as this has been theorised by several readers. Spoilers for Tokyo Revengers chapter 275 suggest that Mikey will utilise Takemichi’s time-travelling abilities to undo the death of the protagonist. Mikey may have been sent back in time as a result of his earlier attempt to commit suicide.
Both Shinichiro and Takemichi fell from a great height just before their first leap, thus it’s not obvious if death or the jump itself functions as the initial trigger. If this interpretation is correct, it would complete a circle in the narrative. Shinichiro’s effort to rescue Mikey caused a schism in time that was eventually inherited by Takemichi, leading to two alternative futures. An appropriate conclusion to this narrative would have Mikey go across time to rescue his hero. Readers, however, are still debating whether Mikey can reverse the current series of events and restore the old history.
