The episode also depicts the first meeting between Mitsuya and Hakkai, and how the older boy’s moral perspective on violence impacted the life of the younger Shiba. To ensure their future, Takemichi and Chifuyu devise another audacious plot, for which they obtain the unexpected but welcome assistance of an unlikely ally. Hakkai joins the Black Dragons in the fourth episode of the 2nd season of Tokyo Revengers, signalling the impending outbreak of gang warfare in the city.
‘Tomorrow’ is the title of episode 4 of season 2 of Tokyo Revengers. Hakkai had previously vowed to join the Black Dragons in exchange for Taiju sparing Takemichi’s life. Takemichi was irritated and overwhelmed by Chifuyu’s words of empathy when he returned home from his time travel adventure. Hakkai requested his departure from Toman in a formal meeting two days later. Both Takemichi and Chifuyu attempted to stop it, but Hakkai’s commander, Mitsuya, was unmoved. During the fourth episode of season two of Tokyo Revengers, we learn about Hakkai’s family background.
Episode 4 of Tokyo Revengers season 2 opens with Mitsyua asking Hakkai to see Taiju on his behalf at the Toman conference. Hakkai was an aggressive youngster who was avoided by other guardians because of Taiju’s bad reputation, as seen in a flashback. As he was young, Takashi Mitsuya intervened when he was about to beat up another youngster and instructed him to instead utilise his aggression for self-defence. Mitsuya’s moral rectitude and kindness toward his sisters Mana and Luna had a lasting impression on Hakkai. After that, Mitsuya fed Hakkai at his house after inviting him there. Hakkai was astounded by the warm and welcoming environment in their house and by Mitsuya’s lack of anger toward his status, despite the fact that he had to look after his younger brothers when he was a youngster.
Taiju was the head of the Shiba family when his mother passed away and his father left the family. Taiju was adored by his devotees despite the fact that he was a brutal dictator. When his siblings fell short of his high standards, he would beat them out of some perverted form of love. To save his sister from further harm, Hakkai took it upon himself to bear the brunt of the beatings. But Taiju went back on his word and slapped Yuzuha again, this time saying he was trying to teach her a lesson. Because of his prior experiences, Hakkai viewed Mitsuya as a hero and a rescuer.
Season 2, Episode 4 of Tokyo Revengers is titled “The Meeting with Taiju.”
Coming back to the present, Mitsuya criticises Hakkai for trying to carry the load by himself. Chifuyu and Takemichi tag along to Taiju’s lair, where Koko and Inui are also meeting. But, surprisingly, Mitsuya doesn’t request that Hakkai be released. Instead, he pledges to end all communication with the child and hand him over to the Black Dragon if Taiju will release Yuzuha in exchange. In order to save his sister, Mitsuya confesses that Hakkai has been guarding Yuzuha the entire time. Taiju is using Yuzuha as a means to gather money from influential people in exchange for his brutality, and Mitsuya is urging him to release her. Taiju tells Mitsuya he will never hit Yuzuha again, so long as he abides by the conditions he has set. And Mitsuya promises that Toman would leave his land alone in exchange. Mitsuya and Hakkai say emotional goodbyes to one another. Mitsuya runs into Yuzuha later, and Yuzuha appears angry about what he did.
The driver, Mikey, is asked by Mitsuya if he has messed up. Mitsuya promises Mikey that he would never abandon him, and Mikey reminds him that the original group is now down to only two members.
Season 2 Episode 4 of Tokyo Revengers: Hakkai’s Determination.
Chifuyu is sad that Hakkai joined the Black Dragons, while Takemichi is upbeat since Yuzuha is no longer enslaved. While he knows Hakkai would kill his brother to save Yuzuha, he also knows that Hakkai is a good person. He wants to go back to the future, but Chifuyu points out that he hasn’t finished his job yet, and that he can’t go back anyhow because he’s in jail and can’t visit Naoto. Hakkai walks in on them mid-argument. He fills them in on his family’s history and how Taiju was always breaking his word. His older brother won’t keep his end of the bargain with Mitsuya, he is certain of it. Although he lacks the courage to confront Taiju directly, he is resolved to murder him in order to ensure Yuzuha’s safety.
Takemichi chooses to take up arms against the Black Dragons once Hakkai leaves. Chifuyu is sceptical at first, but after meeting him, she decides to aid him. However, Mikey and Mitsuya’s idea is shot down in a meeting with the rest of the company’s management. taken explains that if they battle the Black Dragons first, they would tarnish Mitsuya’s name forever. When Kisaki and Hanma approach them, Chifuyu and Takemichi are discouraged and don’t know what to do.
Episode 4 of Season 2 of Tokyo Revengers focuses on Kisaki offering assistance to the rebels.
Kisaki says they will have to defeat the Black Dragons since Mikey is sad and the other Toman captains won’t act as long as Mitsuya’s ceasefire is in place. Chifuyu’s furious response to Kisaki’s offer led him to hold a shard of glass to Takemichi’s neck, but Hanma coerces him into backing down by making a similar threat to Chifuyu. Kisaki brings them to a snitch who, for 10,000 yen, is willing to spill the beans. However, two more Black Dragon members enter at that moment and Kokonoi orders them to remove the informant by force. Surprisingly, Koko is willing to spill the beans to the Toman members for 100,000 yen, which Kisaki swiftly pays. Koko reveals that, with the exception of Christmas Day, Taiju always has a group of five people with him. He is a fervent Christian and spends his nights praying alone at the church. Koko tells Takemichi that he is betraying Taiju because he loves powerful people and he doesn’t believe the four members of Toman can do any harm to his employer. Upon his departure, Kisaki reveals to Takemichi that Hakkai plans to assassinate Taiju on Christmas. Despite Chifuyu and Takemichi’s mistrust of Kisaki’s intentions, the four of them make a pact to foil Hakkai and bring down Taiju.
Concluding Ideas
Season 2, episode 4 of Tokyo Revengers delves not just into the breadth of Taiju’s aggression but also into the depths of his mind, which finds nothing wrong with his actions. Although extreme, Hakkai’s choice to kill his sibling makes sense. More fascinating than Yuzuha’s discontent at having her younger brother sacrifice himself for her is the source of her hatred against Mitsuya. Tokyo Revengers season 2 continues to try to make viewers feel the pain of Baji’s departure. Mikey claims he has lost focus and seems to constantly worry that he may alienate yet another pal.
Chifuyu’s fury at Kisaki and disorientation in the wake of Takemichi’s declaration of war are both indicative of how lost he feels without his commander. Kisaki’s demeanour is perplexing and suspicious. Despite their suspicions, neither Takemichi nor Chifuyu can guess his true motivation in Tokyo Revenger’s season 2 episode 4. Aside from Taiju, Kokonoi stands out as an intriguing character. His ties to the latter are questionable. Now that the battle will take place on the specified day, the Christmas Showdown arc is rapidly approaching its conclusion.
