#tokyo manji empire

[tropicalisima]

No one wants to touch the Original Timeline™ in TR because of the deaths but personally it's my favorite because of how different everything is (and can be). The Tokyo Manji Gang not existing changes the lives of EVERYONE, and we don't know anything about anyone, so I can fantasize with the most insane shit ever

Like Emma running away and becoming a top tier sukeban with hatred in her heart for being a street kid living the rough life and a grudge towards her family (all of them) for abandonning her. Wanting to erase the legacy of the Black Dragons and install her very own empire.

Or Hina trying to save the cat from those punks but this time there's no caped hero to save her, so she actually fights all of them and win just to discover that violence it's fun and can solve problems? and enters the delinquent world and is ready to take over and become the strongest number one in Japan.

And Kisaki is suffering because he's watching his only best friend getting more and more reckless and is afraid she might die at any moment (heh), so he tries to do everything to prevent that, like send Hanma to lend her a hand when neccessary. Incredible.

And when Hina helped Kazutora with those fake ass friends of his, because they were messing in her territory actually, and left Kazutora with the biggest starstruck ever. Then they reunited in school and became an unbeatable, unstoppable duo (this one is for me and my interests lol).

Takemichi getting ganged up at the park and the one who saves him is Naoto, freshly out of juvie, because he is deranged, violent and a bit schizophrenic since he's still into occultism and just discovered time travel exist and it's very real!!!

And everyone meet and fight each other and I'm just here like

But of course they ended up being best friends and loving each other till their timeline got wiped out.

The Tokyo Manji Gang is based on The Black Empire in the 1990s

Anime i’ve Watched

Tokyo Revengers: Seiya Kessen-hen (Tokyo Revengers: Christmas Showdown):

Synopsis: In spite of his best time-leaping efforts, Takemichi Hanagaki continuously fails to prevent the present-day death of Hinata Tachibana, his adolescent love. The adult Takemichi grapples with grief and the ramifications of the Tokyo Manji gang's criminal empire—an unintended product of his timeline meddling. Though the gang once operated under the idealistic Manjirou "Mikey" Sano, it has now been taken over by the malicious Tetta Kisaki and, as a result, has abandoned its original optimistic intent. Despite feeling hopeless, Takemichi travels to the past once again to investigate Black Dragon, a rival motorcycle gang whose actions ultimately lead to Hinata's demise. There, he meets the young Hakkai Shiba, a fellow gang member whose older brother, Taiju, tyrannically rules Black Dragon. When Taiju brutally beats Takemichi in a one-sided street brawl, Hakkai attempts to withdraw from Tokyo Manji in apology—an act that Takemichi must prevent to spare Hakkai a grim future. Through a shared tragedy, Takemichi bonds with Chifuyu Matsuno, establishing a close comradery both boys desperately need. With Chifuyu on his side, Takemichi works to unravel the fates of Black Dragon's members, fighting to create a happy future for his loved ones. [Written by MAL Rewrite] 

Status: Completed

My Rating: 6.5/10

Finished airing in 2023 with a total of 13 episodes.

Chifuyu best boy, future or past Chifuyu will forever be the best boy. Someone find that loveable delinquent a girlfriend!

As for the rest of the season... I said I was unlikely to bother watching a second season but I did. They really do know how to leave you on a cliffhanger and they’ve done it again with the final episode of the 2nd season. So yes, i’ll likely be tuning in for season 3.

My main issues would have to be that Takemichi is a big dumb bitch. This has absolutely nothing to do with him being weak or a crybaby. He’s a big dumb bitch because he’s a literal adult, does not think a single thing through and keeps going during the first half (while in the past), “Oh jeez I had a quick talk with so and so. Must have completely changed the future, time to head back!” Like nooo Takemichi put your back into it a bit, give me a bit more effort. 

That aside the characters and story are engaging enough. Heavy on violence which should surprise no one considering the subject matter. My other main issue is with how they censor their uniforms, there really has to be a better way to go about it. The noticeable blurring and blinding bars of light just aren’t it.

Anywho. It’s Tokyo Revengers, take it or leave it. That’s basically how I feel about it. I wouldn’t be all that phased if they suddenly announced season 3 would never be released but considering it will be i’ll likely watch it to pass the time. It’s alright, not great. The mystery intrigues me, Delinquents not so much.
