TR 268

Pardon me for this, but my first reaction to this was - 

DUDE!!! What The Actual FUCK!!!!!!

I am late to get to a chapter for ONE time AND THIS HAPPENS!!! C’mon!!!

Shinichiro is the second Timeleaper????? Like, WHAT?

My more clam reaction, when i made peace with the fact that this is actually happening - 

If you look at it, it may just make sense. 

Why i think so? Here - 

This is from ch 7; when Naoto explains what happens when Takemitchi timeleaps. 

This was not mentioned very often, because there were many significant or drastic changes in the following timelines, where the whole setup or dynamic of the situation had changed. Meaning, only those timelines, where the changes were minor (Like in this Timeline, Akkun not being in jail - which largely did not effect the whole plot), Mitchi was dead for the time being he had gone back in time. 

Other timeline, where there were more significant changes - like Mitchi going from not-so-important Toman figure to one of it’s executives; we don’t know how that timeline was till Mitchi came back to future, but by the looks of it, he wasn’t dead in those. 

Why did i bring this up?

I have two questions or things or reasons to bring this up - 

.

.

.

1

Because, this means Dead people, while they are dead for everyone around them - they are infact in a parallel timeline, somewhere in past or future.

Does that ring a bell? 

Someone who is dead? 

Someone who can timetravel? 

Someone who was week but still strong enough to be the centre of attention of all? 

.

.

.

No, i’m not talking about Takemitchi. Shinichiro!!!

I found this interesting,

And i don’t know the original script (someone please correct me on the tense here if i am wrong), but every manga panel is drawn and written carefully. So, this -

It’s present tense. 

Does it mean, Shinichiro is still (in 2008) alive? 

Like, okay, it’s a bit of a stretch; but the wording here sounds deliberate. It could have been written as ‘was’? We do focus more on tenses in English. 

AND, if he is still in the background somewhere - what is he doing? 

Takemitchi has always tried to make the following timelines better, but they always get worse; if Shinichiro is in the background, why hasn’t he done anything?

.

On to the next part and a VERY important question -

Shinichiro travelled “Back in Time" 

When? 

Was it when their dad died? When their Mom was on death bed? When Mikey started getting into fight with older boys? When the whole plane incident happened? Or when Toman founding member’s met? or when he died?

I was kinda sad we did not get much information from Mikey’s past chapters; it was just repeat of what we knew till that point, but we did get a few more insights on the situation

While there is possibility that Shinichiro travelled to a time which was never mentioned till now; it is interesting to point out these: 

Two obvious difference in POV’s of Mikey and senju regarding the plane incident (it was Shinichiro who made that plane, btw)- 

Sanzu, if we consider Mikey actually ripped his mouth open,  even after that he was okay following Mikey. 

He knows about Timeleaping (all that destiny stuff) but he was out of spot-light for a long time

Mikey didn’t just seem to visit by his brothers bike shop on the fated night, he was called/told to be there. He saw Baji & Kazutora being taken away

(Note: Drawing parallels with Takemitchi as they were time and again mentioned to be very similar)

So, here’s what i think happened; Shinichiro after Kazutora hit him in the head, travelled back in time (no trigger this time, like Takemitchi’s first time). 

Either to the plane incident, to stop Mikey from doing the same thing to Sanzu that he had originally done (i think he failed in this one, same like Takemitchi could not always stop an incident from happening) 

And/or to just a few hours before he died; meaning, he had called Mikey to gift him the Bike and while he was waiting in his office, Mikey had came in and saw someone breaking into the Garage, making Mikey confronting Baji and Kazutora Killing Mikey instead of Shinchiro. Shinchiro found him almost dead, and like in Bonten timeline, Mikey triggered his Timetravel, but only a few hours back, where he gave Mikey a wrong time and instead was killed? (It’s like a paradox) 

I know, this is assuming, that Shinichiro time travelled on Aug 13th. But there are also possibilities that he travelled on a complete different point. 

Well, for that, i can’t seem to think of something which is mentioned till date. To me, it feels like if it’s not these two incidents then it’s completely off screen scenario.

.

.

.

Now to combine the two things, We don’t know much about OG/1st Timeline. The first TL we know is:

Toman is bad news, involving into every crime possible

Mikey and Kisaki met on 5th July 2005 (remains same for all TL’s)

Hina had dumped mitchi in this TL in 2005

Takemitchi and Mizo squad remained slaves of Kiyomasa and group, where (to our knowledge) Takemitchi and Mikey never met 

Draken is dead, Akkun is in jail

Not much info on anyone else

Kisaki was acting President of Toman and Mikey was MIA

Hina (truck rammed into her) and Naoto died on 1st July

Mitchi died on 4th July, 1st time leap

Goes back - 12 Yrs

Told Naoto about the death after 12 years – future changed

But, what if there is a timeline even before this? Like, that would make sense. Shinichiro travelled back in time to save Mikey; and Mikey was fine (atleast alive) in this timeline. 

Now, here - 

Does this mean, Takemitchi won’t have died by being pushed on the train track? that he would never have travelled back in time? 

What is it that Shinichiro tried to save Mikey from? And why would it even be a concern to Takemitchi - who only met Mikey by pure coincidence and that too only in later timelines? 

And, if Shinichiro was only trying to save Mikey; then why is it that whatever Takemitchi did, the future only seemed to get worse and worse? In every progressive Future, Mikey had suffered more and more, living and dying painfully, alone? 

Does that mean there is one more Time leaper, a third, who is working against both Mitchi and Shin? Someone else who is already dead? It’s not that farfetched thought, there could be multiple Time leapers, we are only following one.

It is also important to know 

Why did Wakasa wait till the end of Three deities war to tell Mikey about the whole Time Leaping thing? 

Who else knows about it? Benkei? Takeomi? 

Was Wakasa the trigger? 

Did Shinichiro travel back only once or was it multiple times like Takemitchi? 

Why did Wakasa never talk to Mikey or informed him about it since 2003? 

What all information is Wakasa hiding? 

Does Wakasa remember all the timelines like Naoto remembers? 

Was Shinichiro’s time travel evolved to the same level as current (2008) Takemitchi, where he is able to glance into the future?

Also; 

Dark Impulse is born out of love. 

So, was it Mikey’s love for his brother that gave birth to these impulses? or is it like Shinichiro was able to pass on these impulses? 

Or are these caused due to Shinichiro travelling back in time, making a conflicting image of himself inside Mikey? (This traces back to me believing Mikey having split-personality; where due to someone else trying to shape his life the way they want caused confusion within himself of who he actually is)

.

.

All of this is without even considering Many other factors in the story that are still left unsaid, uncleared or unattended 

Let me know what you guys think. i hope i was able to make atleast 5% of sense here.  

P.S. 

Mikey even while yelling this (plus telling him about Shinichiro too); Kept on punching and kicking takemitchi, which - pardon me - but i find absolutely hilarious. 

[jeff-the-mf-baker]

Wait. Mikey's dad died in a car accident, right?

So what if in the REAL original timeline (the one that, at that point, had not been altered by anybody yet, not even Shin), Mikey died in the car accident along with his father? This would make a lot of sense, since it would give Shinichiro a reason to go back in time to try to save his brother... Just a thought.

[raamitsu]

Mikey genuinely wanted Takemichi to stop coming for him and save him. Keyword: GENUINE. That means he really meant everything he said in that video tape

[rin-mikatsu]

Tokrev fandom: Kisaki's second time jumper. No, it's Hanma. Most likely it's Sanzu. Maybe Manjiro?

Wakui: Shinichiro

Tokrev fandom: ... What?...

Wakui: What?

Wakui, it's not fucking funny. I have been shocked by this information for 4 hours already😶

[mochiswifey]

TR 268

Then why the fuck did Kisaki was able to affect so much of the story🤡

???

Also. Whaaat?

[chifuyusgangshirt]

I might be going through harsh treatment but at least I didn't have to keep my mouth shut about my dead best friend being a timeleaper for 5 years and watching his traumatized brother kicking and killing his way through his edgy teen phase

[trash-nugget]

[daikonandplaindonuts]

Shinichiro has been dead for like 5 years and still managed to make Takemichi's life more difficult....

[kantomanji]

[joukhr]

[stuckinakillingjar]

yo what kind of fucking plot twist is that

[aurake]

AS A SHINICHIRO STAN, I AM BAFFLED AND SURPRISED AND WHAT THE FUCK DID I JUET WITN SS!??!?2!?1!1??1!!!??

[raamitsu]

sorry guys but i can’t stop thinking about the second time leaper’s identity cuz they said it will be something/someone’s (?) unexpected 🤔

i’ve read a few about theory of second time leaper and let me list all the characters that were included so far:

hanma

mikey

kisaki

shinichiro

baji

takemichi’s manager (lmfao)

sanzu

the past takemichi

takeomi

kakucho

chifuyu

akkun

draken

[ this looks like when media tryna decide which artist(s) deserves the title of king of pop lmao ]

[chuuyrr]

YA'LL IS IT TRUE?? I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF A CRYING SESSION WHEN I READ A TOKYOREV 268 SPOILER HELP

SHINICHIRO'S THE SECOND TIME LEAPER?!!

[raamitsu]

JAPANESE TR FANS ARE DEADASS UNSERIOUS LMFAO

[raamitsu]

well… it wouldn’t make any sense for mikey to be revealed as the second time leaper when he’s ALREADY a trigger to another time leaper (takemichi) , right?

the ‘huge’ plot twist that the leaker mentioned is something they asked everyone to look forward for today. to assume is fine but don’t make or prove it as a fact cuz i’m afraid it would disappoint you. it’s better to wait and see ^^

also, the fact that I am still unable to post with a media, i’ve been saying this since yesterday sorry yall this sh!t pissed me off I’ll be reading and write my thoughts on this. sadly no memes reactions today 🥲
