It’s possible that Tokyo Revengers chapter 275 will be one of the most heartbreaking chapters in the whole manga. Not only will one of the most dramatic battles take place there, but a character who has been with us since the start of the series will also meet their end. While it has the potential to be one of the most enlightening ones in the background. The unfortunate end suffered by the aforementioned persona may indicate the presence of a greater phenomenon. Everyone who has been presented or referenced as a Time Leaper has met a sad end. The stakes of using the abilities may be one’s own life, as hinted at in Tokyo Revengers chapter 275.
Spoilers ahead for Tokyo Revenger’s Chapter 275
Can we conclude from Tokyo Revengers 275 that having the power to travel through time is a curse? Spoilers for the next chapter 275 of Tokyo Revengers have indicated that Takemichi will be fatally stabbed by Mikey during their final showdown. Our protagonist can’t dodge Manjiro’s blade, even with the help of his foresight. If Takemichi can’t go back in time, he’ll probably just give Mikey his powers. More though this is a horrible event, it may be foreshadowing something even worse in the manga narrative. The death of Takemichi confirms that every Time-Leaper revealed thus far has met an untimely end. Nonetheless, all of their passings are connected to tragic events.
The first-time traveller we encountered told us he had to murder the previous user of the powers in order to inherit them. After the child was deceived into murdering him, the elderly man cursed Shinichiro’s pals with the Dark Impulses. Even after learning about the curse, Shinichiro went on enjoying his life carefree for a few days. Kazutora, who was cursed by the old man after he granted Takemichi his abilities, eventually murdered the black-haired youngster. Because of the curse placed on Shinichiro, many viewers assumed at that moment that all of the Time-Leapers had perished. After killing the Time-Leaper who granted him his abilities, the elderly man could have been subject to a similar hex.
Nonetheless, the ability to go back in time may be the root of the problem, as hinted at in Tokyo Revengers chapter 275.
Takemichi was not a close friend of Shinichiro, thus he had nothing to do with the young man’s misfortune. But he, too, met a startling and awful end. Dark Impulses have never manifested among Takemichi’s friends and family, therefore the old man’s curse clearly did not rub off on him. Our slain hero has nothing in common with his predecessor Time-Leapers but their abilities. It’s as though the Time-Leapers’ own abilities to traverse across time are what ultimately prove fatal for them all.
Is the ability to time travel a blessing or a curse?
As was previously said, the old man cursed Shinichiro after he gained the ability to time travel. The man sleeping on the street did not give off the impression of being a wizard. This may suggest that his ability to hex the youngster stems from his time-travelling abilities. If this is the case, then Tokyo Revengers chapter 275 will provide conclusive evidence that these abilities can be a curse. Takemichi’s heroic efforts were in vain, however, and he met the same terrible end as his forebears. The young man was not evil; he did not resort to violence to acquire his abilities, and he never utilised them for his own gain. When Shinichiro granted our hero his abilities, he did not condemn him, as far as we can tell. And it’s quite improbable that the Sano curse followed him.
In Tokyo Revengers, chapter 275, the sole remaining theory for his death is that the power of time travel itself was the culprit. One of the major mysteries of the series is where these abilities came from. We also know next to nothing about their capabilities. At first glance, it appeared that a person could only use a trigger to initiate a time travel experience. Over the course of the show, we discovered that the abilities were capable of far more than we had previously thought. For the times when Takemichi’s life was in jeopardy, they provided him with a glimpse into the future. It seems the Time-Leapers could also curse whoever stole their abilities. This may all point to the fact that the time-travelling powers are more nuanced than we give them credit for being. Perhaps the person who initially conceived of these abilities also cursed them. Each person who makes use of the powers, as suggested by Tokyo Revengers chapter 275, must meet a terrible end along the way. In that case, it would make sense that the deaths of all Time-Leapers were so tragic.
As a conclusion
Since the events of chapter 275 of Tokyo Revengers, Ken Wakui has been very cautious not to divulge any major details concerning the creation of the time-jumping abilities. Since the manga’s inception, the writer has kept the origin of the powers a well-guarded secret. It’s possible that this means the abilities’ backstories will play a major role in the manga’s plot.
Unfortunately, the series is coming to a conclusion, thus there won’t be any conclusive resolutions in the remaining books. However, Ken Wakui may be working on a sequel or a spinoff series to address the question of why all Time-Leapers perished in the end.
