#tokyo revengers ending

how it feels posting about tokyo revengers in 2024

[wakasaz]

I feel it too Chifuyu

[moccabunie]

Listen, I love fluff and happy endings, but what if every character from Tokyo Revengers still have uncomfortable flashbacks about things that happened in the other timelines and they don't understand why?

I'm thinking of Baji, waking up in the middle of the night with a strange chest pain. Baji feeling weirdly out of place from time to time, like he doesn't exactly belong there. Baji noticing something in the way Chifuyu and Kazutora look at him, hopeful and relieved, and he can't exactly pintpoint why.

Inui unconsciously bringing his hand to the side of his face because sometimes his skin itches right there. He thought it was just stress, but it's odd. He has a lot of weird habits lately, like this one of taking one step back whenever he's close to anything steamy of hot –he's one of always order iced tea, even in winter.

To avoid scratching too much his face, because he already hurt himself due to that, Inui uses to wear band-aids. And you know, Koko hates to see those ugly bandages covering his face.

"I'd like a lot if you wrote me a love letter. Something like that I would keep it forever." Emma sure sees an annoying amount of romantic movies, if you ask Draken. He would do it nonetheless, because he likes to do things for Emma.

"Won't you bring me flowers someday? Wouldn't that be cute?" she said.

Draken cried when he wrote that letter, and he cried when he read it out loud to Emma later. He thought he was just too happy for having her at his side, that he was lucky.

"Guys, I'm sure that we met in another life."

Nobody questions Mikey's sudden thoughts. He's just like this –spontaneus, cheerful. It would make sense, even, so why don't play along? Everyone of them can really feel like a lifetime all the moments they've shared, and it's so easy for them to read past each other.

Just like a bunch of threads, tangled up in them, but never making them stumble. Whenever they pull the thread it just make them closer.

"I'll run, now." Mikey says, hands already turning on the engine of the motorbike. "So make sure you guys come after me, ok?"

Don't let me get lost, he says.

ok controversial take on this here tokyo revengers Tumblr fandom but I didn't like the ending. actually.... it's more like I didn't like HOW the story got to the ending.

Usually, I'm a sucker for a happy ending. I love it when characters get the future they dreamed of where everyone is safe and sound... but not this. It felt too easy. Like one deus ex machina and everything is alright? What about every single thing that happened?

I think the main problem is that the story felt like it was just grasping at whatever it could to continue. The Shinichiro time leaper thing came totally out of left field, the dark impulse being a curse felt like a cop out... too many new characters flooding in the three deities arc.. I know im rambling a bit here lol. to me, the story really peaked when Kisaki finally got defeated. Then there should have been one final closing arc to save Mikey instead of the super long drawn out thing that happened. Basically, too much stuff happening that bogged down a story that should have ended long ago, leading to it being super draggy and a bit too outrageous near the end.

I still really enjoy Tokyo Revengers. I like it! But I think the quality of writing went downhill. I think the ending isn't BAD... but it could have been more satisfying, or hell, even bittersweet given the direction the story went, if the narrative had been planned out better?

But anyway, tokyorev was a ride from start to finish, and it's over now, and I like it for what it is, just wish it could have been better. Hey, at least everyone is alive and happy, and we can always write fan fiction.

[wakasaz]

The fact that this whole chapter was in Chifuyu's pov is making me cry even harder

[aokuro-san]

The Tokyo Revengers ending! Some thoughts now that I've read it.

this is so messy... I’m sorry.

A love letter to the fans

And, don't you think that's what it is? The last chapter constantly thanks us and Takemichi for having read, enjoyed and followed the work to this day.

Does everyone remember?

The supernatural element hasn't disappeared (and that's a good thing because it's the coherence of the plot)!

Naoto, who was a policeman (and became a policeman to save his sister in the future), is now an occult journalist, since he no longer needs to save his sister from death and may have vague memories of what happened with Takemichi. , just like Chifuyu.

And speaking of Chifuyu...

Chifuyu

At first, he was not convinced that the narrator of the last chapter was precisely Chifuyu. I loved he, but it wasn't his story, nor was it the end of his journey. However, when I reread it (I won't get tired of saying that TokRev is to reread forever) i convinced me more. On one hand, I think Wakui wanted to express his feelings about the end of TokRev (in addition to thanking the fans for their support). And, on the other, to narrate again what it means to be a hero. As Takemichi is no longer our crybaby hero, but just our hero. The hero who sacrificed so much to save them all. And true heroes don't tell their own story. Chifuyu, who represents fidelity personified -at least, to a certain extent- is perfect for doing so.

And speaking of Takemichi...

Takemichi

I've seen some people complain that they wanted to see the Takemichi of the past, with his eyes "lit up" (which he has, by the way!) And, above all, crying his eyes out at the wedding. But I think this would be a mistake, even if the ending was different! Takemichi has given all the tears he could to his companions, out of love for them. But now he doesn't need to cry anymore BECAUSE HE HAS DONE IT! He has achieved his goal. No one has died and everyone goes their own ways despite everything. He no longer needs to drop another tear, just smile, just as he does: with satisfaction and peace.

On the other hand, is it complete happiness?

Yes and no. Happiness, in this case, means having the opportunity to follow your own path, despite everything (as Chifuyu explains in a paragraph). Which is to say that many of the things we saw didn't change overnight (obviously for me!) and just happened:

Draken was abandoned by his mother and lived for years in a brothel, but the love of his life did not die tragically at the age of fifteen, they have managed to be together and it seems that they are going to start a family.

The history of the Shiba family and that of the ToMan against the Black Dragons did happen more or less as such.

South survived the violence of his childhood (I think with him I have the least doubt that this guy fought his own gang against the ToMan, before he joined her) and is now a professional wrestler.

And he chases the one who was his killer in another life! LOL. It might be a bit weird, but in this ending you have to use your imagination (which isn't a bad thing, the writing is half imagination, half description), so I imagine South, after his battle with the ToMan, was equally defeated by Mikey (as in the past, with the difference that he did not kill him) and now admires him for being the person who managed to defeat him. The truth would not be strange to me...

Sanzu and Senju STILL HAVE A SHITTING BROTHER.

Takeomi is still the same as always and takes advantage of his brothers, as Chifuyu tells us. But these, although they seem quite apart from Takeomi, who calls himself his manager, they also don't seem to have many problems giving him money. As Chifuyu explains, this is THEIR decision and, although it seems bad to us (I include myself at this point), Senju and Sanzu are adults to make their decisions... I guess.

Izana had the life she did (look at her eyes!), but she met the Sanos and the ToMan and now she travels the world helping kids like him along with Kakucho (who also had a bad life) and the rest of Tenjiku.

And now I want to make a little emphasis on the latter...

Wakui's true goal (or so I think, haha)

Wakui has explained many times that in his youth (and as most of his manga shows, haha) he was part of a bosozoku gang. Initially, these types of gangs were born to fight against war and other injustices, before - as Wakui explained in his day - the gangs became small mafias that terrorize the neighborhoods of Japan. And that is the goal of Tokyo Revengers (according to the author)!, to revive those ideals. That's why we have the protagonist that we have (who learns from them along the way), that's why several of the characters have managed to survive their injustices (like Izana, Sur, etc.), that's why, in the end, some of the characters ( such as the group of Tenjiku or Kisaki and Koko) work and/or help in charitable associations. Because that's the meaning Wakui knew (and wanted to convey) of gangs! Mutual support, lasting friendship (despite following different paths) and the fight against injustice.

So did I like the ending?

Yes, and also, now I think that it is the ending that Wakui wanted to give it (see what a clever little person posted on Twitter) and that makes me twice as happy.

Tokyo Revengers has become one of my favorite manga. I can't wait to have the complete collection! (I think it's been years since I wanted to make a collection like this one). There's something special about this work, and it certainly won't stop being special to me overnight (probably never). And I hope I can keep talking about her here on Tumblr! Because what Wakui has achieved with that ending is that TokRev never ends.

WHAT A POWERFUL DUO

[kingleeh]

It's clear what happened here. We've all been reading different versions of Tokyo Revengers this whole time.

I've tried many times to understand how this ending can be acceptable as 'logical' or 'making sense' or 'happy' and it's just not coming to me.

There are two options here.

The Author was told to wrap up IMMEDIATELY with no warning and he had to cram 50 chapters into 2.

OR

Something happened to the amazing writer that is Ken Wakui and someone else, who's never actually done more than skim the manga, had to finish it off.

I am a huge advocate against attacking Writers because they go somewhere different than I thought. A writers story is their own to do with what they please.

That does not mean I, the reader, am not allowed to question it when those things don't align with everything else we've been told so far. Pairing up a couple I don't like would be one thing, but throwing the entire story and it's meaning in the trash is another.

This isn't just about the characters not being those we've grown to love and care for during the whole story, (which is still a perfectly reasonable reason to be upset), that was to be expected if this ending were to go the Time Leap route.

Just make it make sense. And it is absolutley not doing that.

And before someone starts, no, I'm not opposed to a happy ending. I'm a slut for 'they all lived happily ever after'.

But I value logic and sense more than I value soulless panels of people I don't know smiling and being happy for events that make no logical sense.
