tonight's tantrum:
i finally watched tokyo revengers season 2 and HOO BOY
angery and sadde.
so it's been a couple years since i watched the first season and i forgot some of it and had to watch a recap video 😭 it took forever for me to get around to continuing it bc 1. the new season wasn't on crunchyroll and 2. i am lazy :)
BUT when i started it back up last week it didn't take long for me to be really invested and omg. what. things got even wilder and i was not prepared lol. i had a lot of questions during the first season about how the time travel works and stuff (and i still think there are a lot of plot holes there) buuuuut this show is so entertaining that after a while you're just like ehhhh i'll allow it :)
so let's start with what didn't make me want to throw my remote at the screen 🤩
cheefu :0
one of my favorite characters in this part was chifuyu! i'm so glad takemichi finally has someone else on his side in the past who knows what's going on. also he's so supportive about everything and it's just really nice to see in the middle of all the mess 🙂↕️
also mitsuya in mom mode is everything
PRESH
also yuzuha was girlbossing all over the place
anyway yeah there was a lot of good stuff i'm just here to have a tantrum about THIS GUY
SCREAMING BARFING SCRATCHING (bad)
i felt so much rage with the stuff that happened to emma i was screeching at like 1 am in the morning... so much so that my brother asked me the next day if i was mad about something 💀 yes i was furious actually! like what is wrong with this kid?! aren't you like 14 or smth?! GO DO YOUR HOMEWORK!!!! same for all of them tbh... the show gets all serious and then you remember they're literal middle schoolers fighting to the death and for WHAT
these guys are the only realistic middle schoolers in this entire show 😭 okay anyway i was mad and sad and all that
please come back nattou </3
not worried about naoto tho he should be fine EVENTUALLY but omg the ending of this season was wild too. AND THE TRUCK PART!!! when i tell you my mouth was on the FLOOR for a good bit there. estupefacto. the irony of kisaki being taken down (via truck-kun) and finally being defeated but in such a gruesome way AND by being hit by a vehicle like he kept doing with the whole hina situation... i was just not expecting that. and it was so. icky. ow. like eughhhhh.
so. this brings us to the present, and i am so invested now... i might pick up the manga, which i don't usually do unless the next season's gonna take a while and i really wanna find out what happens. but i really see a lot of possibilities and ~scrumptious~ writing choices that can be made, what with trying to figure out how to go back further in time to save emma, baji, izana, and possibly kisaki as well?? maybe??? idk ANYWAY this has been the spark notes version of my thoughts on this whole thing bc i have SO much to say but! i love this show and it's definitely made a place for itself amongst my favorites with this most recent season, plot holes and all :0
kudos to you if you stuck through this word vomit!
gracias kenchines <3

ok serious opinion on the new ep: it's really good if just for the gags :D i kinda like how the new episodes are more comedy-oriented bc it's a nice break from the Emotional Torment that season 5 gave me. the gang just gets to be silly <3

TR Tenjiku Arc Starts 10/3!
The second teaser trailer just dropped yesterday on YouTube if you haven't watched it yet.
Some translation from the VOs in the trailer:
Emma: He... wanted a family.
Shinichiro: Do what you want. I left Black Dragon for you, after all.
Mikey: This is a fight they brought to Toman! [Not 100% on this]
Takemichi: K-Kaku-chan?!
Kakucho: You finally remembered, Baka-michi! ... You and I are enemies.
Izana: You guys killed my Mikey. (Kakucho aims his gun at Takemichi) Kill this guy.
Draken: He harbors a lot of jealousy and a grudge. [Again, not 100% sure on this part] What does Mikey think of this?
Emma: Ken-chan... I love you.
We're all gonna be in our feels.

“Sorry Kakucho but you’re all I have” 😢 can’t believe a Tokyo Revengers episode actually made me cry. I’m washed lol.
I fucking hate this loser Kisaki so much man. He can’t fight or do anything of note besides pull out guns and ruin great moments like a coward. Shooting Kakucho and then unloading, albeit accidentally, into Izana 🤦🏽♂️. Genuinely had my mouth on the floor when Izana took the shots for Kakucho though.
Fuck, didn’t expect them to actually die.. was hoping some sort of asspull would happen.. I don’t see how Kisaki gets out of this with hundreds of witnesses to a DOUBLE homicide. It’s beyond the petty bs he’s pulled before. Either he has to die or get arrested no other way
Seeing Izana’s backstory was eye opening. No wonder he’s so messed up. His step mom didn’t want him, dad’s dead, mom is probably in the Philippines, wild. The step mom was shitty beyond belief though. Idc if it’s not a blood relation, you were still married to his father and to just ignore a child you had legal guardianship over for a period of time like that is insane. That type of rejection can break a person.
I couldn’t help but laugh at how Izana looks older and bigger in the flashback than in present day..
The further flashback to when he and Kaku were playing in the igloo was really sad as well. Izana was looking for a family, a place to belong, the whole time. Just a lonely kid who wanted to have a home. He found that with Tenjiku. Blood doesn’t make you family, choosing to stay together in hard times does. Kakucho may not have been his blood brother, but their brotherhood was as real as any biological one.
Speaking of which, I found the shot of their blood mixing together as they lay holding hands in death to be so powerful. Blood brothers.
Glad Takemichi and Draken were able to catch up to Kisaki. It’s only right that he gets his ass beat in the finale and hopefully way worse 🙏🏾
Last few episodes have been cooking. Credit where it’s due, bravo.
