Chapter 22 (Todai Revengers)

## "Reseek"

**"Reseek"** is the 12th chapter of the second volume and the 22nd chapter overall of the *Todai Revengers* parody, written and illustrated by Shinpei Funatsu.

## Summary

Michitake interrupts Ueda and Hayase's conversation, but he stares back at them awkwardly as he wonders what he should do next. Suddenly, Makkun arrives and speaks with Ueda instead, asking him about his academic grades. When he learns that Ueda is a student from Keio University, he falls to the ground and wonders what he is doing at the Hongo campus for someone who only studies three subjects and cannot do mathematics as a Social Science student. Makkun continues to judge Ueda's less seemingly intelligent character, which prompts Yariel to order Michitake to stop him. However, Michitake is charmed by Makkun's bravery for being able to say the things that he cannot usually tell Ueda.

Michitake is influenced by Makkun to tell Ueda off, but when he does, Ueda kindly thanks him for introducing him to his friend. Michitake's pride is hurt, so he boasts about how he and Makkun can enter Keio University with less than a month of preparation. Instead of being offended, Ueda is amazed by their academic capabilities and later praises them. With this unexpected reaction, Makkun and Michitake fall to the ground together.

Ueda leaves after excusing himself to attend a friend's performance, and Michitake is relieved to have changed the future. However, Yariel is doubtful that he has done anything significant. Makkun helps Michitake get back on his feet and encourages him to be more confident. While he is currently in a good mood, Michitake does not expect that the May festival will be the longest he has been to in his life.

## "Showdown at the summit"

**"Showdown at the summit"** is the first chapter of the 20th volume and the 171st chapter overall of the *Tokyo卍Revengers* manga series, written and illustrated by Ken Wakui.

## Summary

As Tenjiku and Toman's leaders prepare to face off, Mikey swears to settle the conflict and Izana remarks on Mikey still being able to stand, despite his countless emotional trials. Draken approaches Takemichi, saying that although time-leaping seems far-fetched, Takemichi's determination and drive make it clear that he is truthful; Draken entrusts his and Mikey's future to Takemichi.

Just then, Mikey releases his signature kick; however, Izana blocks it just before complimenting Mikey on his skills. When Mikey attacks once more, Izana dodges, remarking on his power despite his emotional state. After this happens a third time, Takemichi realizes the true strength of Izana, who remarks that it has been a while since he has felt this motivated. This time, when Mikey charges towards Izana, he is thrown back by Izana's kick. Izana says that despite Mikey's impressive fighting prowess, his moves are easy to read, much to everyone's shock. Mucho explains that Izana's strength is in his perception and senses.

Since the initial plan did not work, Izana tells Mikey he will destroy everything, including killing him. Just as Izana punches Mikey once more, Mikey asks why he killed their sister.

## Summary

In a freezing storage facility, while surrounded by restrained and beaten men, Haruchiyo swallows a pill, then exclaims loudly that traitors to Bonten must face judgment. As the men struggle to speak through their gags, Haruchiyo shushes them, telling them to listen to Mikey's words. Between mouthfuls of taiyaki, Mikey orders Haruchiyo to kill the men; Haruchiyo faithfully complies, shooting the men and declaring that those who do not fit in Bonten are scraps.

As Takemichi processes Mikey's role as a criminal organization's leader, Naoto says he is sure his information is correct. Thinking back to Toman's disbandment, as well as Mikey's pledge to protect the future and meet again, Takemichi disputes this, thinking that Mikey would never come to this. When Naoto demands if his information is incorrect, Takemichi still remains in disbelief, saying that he has not met Mikey to confirm yet.

Shaking Takemichi, Naoto reminds him of the dangers surrounding Bonten, telling him that Mikey has changed over twelve years. Takemichi demands they shake hands again in order to deduce Mikey's past intentions. Naoto frantically implores Takemichi to stop, as they have already saved Hina, while Mikey was just someone Takemichi met along the way; Naoto begs Takemichi to remain in the future. Thinking back to Mikey, Takemichi tearfully says that he would not have achieved his mission without Mikey. Holding out his hand, Takemichi promises to come back as soon as possible. An exasperated Naoto caves in, remarking that he cannot win against Takemichi's determination.

Mikey overlooks the city. Behind him, Koko asks him what the matter is; Mikey replies that it is raining and he has a bad feeling.

Meanwhile, the noise of the gunshot scares away a crowd. At the sight of Draken, the men from Rokuhara Tandai flee in terror. Still shocked at Draken's sudden arrival, Takemichi thanks him for saving him. As he kicks away the gun, Draken remarks on the brazen dangerousness of Takemichi's attackers.

After Takemichi confirms that Senju is unharmed, Takemichi asks why Draken showed up. Draken explains that Inupi heard that Rokuhara Tandai was targeting Takemichi. As Takemichi remarks his surprise at his targeting, Draken smiles, reminding him of his revered status in the delinquent world. Growing serious, Draken adds that the conflict between the Three Deities may not be as simple as a delinquent conflict. He explains that the gangs are involved with unethical businesses, which invest in the gangs.

After Takemichi wonders aloud about the future, Draken speculates that Mikey predicted this. Takemichi confides in with Draken that he can foresee future events. He explains his visions of Senju dying and thanks Draken for helping him change the future. Smiling, Draken says he is glad.

Suddenly, Senju reminds them that they need to leave the premises, as they may get in trouble if found. As Takemichi runs behind Senju, he notices Draken still standing, his back turned. Abruptly, Draken tells Takemichi to relay a message to Mikey: don't cause too much trouble. Confused, Takemichi tells Draken to tell Mikey himself. Before Takemichi can finish his sentence, Draken falls to the ground, having sustained three gunshot wounds. He says he has done all he can.

## Summary

It is night. Takemichi arrives at D&D Motorcycle Shop, the bike shop that Draken has started working at, after receiving the call from him. Draken gets up from the bike he is working on, revealing the CB250T he just finished fixing, saying that the parts he was ordering for the bike took a while to arrive. Takemichi realizes with a startle that it is the bike Mikey used to use. Draken offers to let Takemichi take it out for a test drive together.

While out on their drive, Takemichi relays his findings from the present to Draken. He says his mission this time to save Mikey. Draken voices his doubts, remarking that Mikey descended into darkness of his own accord. He says that Mikey has changed and will not hesitate to kill Takemichi if he ever saw him. Takemichi confirms this claim by thinking back to how Mikey mercilessly shot him twice.

Suddenly, a voice calls out to Draken, telling him to run. It is Inui, whose face is fresh with bruises, and he is being held with one hand by someone also riding a bike. With a grin, the person throws Inui into the air. Takemichi tries to brake, but cannot do so in time. Luckily though, Inui is able to land on the ground with his two feet. The unknown individual screeches to a stop, calling for a nocturne to be played while humming. Draken takes a close look at him and recognizes him to be South Terano, representative of Rokuhara Tandai. As if on cue, numerous bikers abruptly arrive, surrounding Takemichi, Draken, and Inui.

Terano saunters up to Draken, asking him to team up.

## Summary

When morning comes, Takemichi and Inupi visit Shinichiro's grave, where Inupi declares Takemichi as the eleventh leader of the Black Dragons; Takemichi vows to make a gang that will not disgrace Shinichiro. Soon after, Izana approaches them, remarking that the Black Dragons got its eleventh leader on the anniversary of its founding. Seeing Takemichi, he acknowledges his presence; however, Takemichi does not recognize him until Inupi screams Izana's name, grabbing him and demanding to know what he is doing with Kokonoi. Izana calmly reminds him that Kokonoi chose to join Tenjiku and he is just here to visit his brother's grave; he tells Inupi that he does not care about him anymore, as he now has Kokonoi. Behind them, Mikey, who is with Emma, tells Inupi to let go. He orders Takemichi to leave with Emma.

Meanwhile, Hanma sits upon a motorcycle, remarking to Kisaki that it is uncharacteristic of him to get his hands dirty. Holding a bat, Kisaki responds that he cannot leave his deed to anyone else. Getting on the motorcycle, they ride off.

From a distance, Emma and Takemichi watch the graveyard. Emma remarks that she recognizes Izana as her older brother. Izana tells Mikey to bring Toman to Yokohama's seventh pier at 8 P.M., where both gangs will face off entirely. Emma remarks that they may fight soon, and Takemichi agrees with her speculation.

She asks aloud why boys have to fight all the time, saying that Mikey has always retained a strong exterior as a gang leader. When he lost people close to him, such as Shinichiro and Baji, he hid his weakness; however, she says he is just a child, unable to sleep without his old blanket. Emma vows to save Mikey, just like how he saved her. Takemichi realizes that Emma is the only person who can understand and support Mikey. However, he remembers that Mikey became evil from his pain and wonders how this happened with Emma's presence. Meanwhile, Emma asks him if he wants a drink from a vending machine. As he tries to remember if Emma exists in the future, Kisaki and Hanma ride towards them.

## Summary

At Japan's Fashion Design Newcomer Awards, Takemichi, Chifuyu, and Hakkai eagerly wait for Mitsuya's entry. As they marvel at the other contestant's impressive designs, Takemichi wonders if Mitsuya can win.

Backstage, Yasuda rushes to bring Mitsuya materials as he puts the finishing touches on his pieces. He tells her to stop addressing him as club president. Finished with his designs, he smiles and thanks his former club members for their voluntary help. The girls are more than happy to help, with Yasuda explaining that they wanted to contribute to their president's bright future. Mitsuya reminds an apologetic Yasuda to stop calling him that.

Mitsuya's name is announced along with his theme: Twin Dragons. The two designs are likened to two dragons--- one made of "heavenly" light cashmere and the other "earthly" dark velvet. Takemichi watches and wishes Draken could see this. The judges are in awe of the pieces; as Mitsuya is announced as the winner, Takemichi proudly decides Mitsuya belongs in the fashion world, not the delinquent world.

Mitsuya emerges onto the stage in his Toman uniform with his hair partially shaved, revealing his matching tattoo with Draken. His unexpected status as a gang member shocks the crowd, who begins whispering. Stepping up to the microphone, Mitsuya thanks the judges for the award. Taking a pause, he wonders if Draken can see him. He recollects his conversation with Takemichi and announces his intention of joining Takemichi.

Loudly, he declares his rejection of the award; the crowd gasps in shock. As Mitsuya bows in apology to the judges and those who helped him, the angry judges yell at him for tarnishing the prestigious award. The crowd begins throwing things in protest. Still facing the jeering audience, Mitsuya explains that the award is worthless if he abandons his friends who have made him the happiest.

## Summary

On July 15, 2008, one week after the conclusion of the Battle of Three Deities, Takemichi's friends from the Mizo Middle crew visit him in the hospital alongside Hina, who has been looking after him. As they leave after trying to reassure him, Takemichi thanks them with a strained smile. Noticing Takemichi's subdued demeanor, Hina asks if anything is wrong; Takemichi quickly dismisses her worries. When Hina leaves for the store, Takemichi mumbles to himself incomprehensibly.

Other former Toman members visit Takemichi, including Pah-chin, Peh-yan, Smiley, Angry, and Hakkai. They offer condolences, adding that they regret not knowing about the burden Takemichi carried. Taking ahold of Takemichi's wrist, Peh promises that Takemichi can count on them and use their help if necessary. Although Takemichi thanks them with a smile, he reassures them that he is fine. As the group leaves, Takemichi vows not to get them involved, repeating his goal of protecting everyone alone.

Hina returns from shopping, surprised at Takemichi's friends' short visit. She tells him they visited when he was unconscious, adding that Takemichi is lucky to have great friends. Takemichi replies by telling Hina of his decision to fulfill his mission alone; he feels guilt for his selfish actions that upset them. Including Hina in this, he tells her she can go home, as he will be fine.

Hugging him, Hina says he is lying and tells him to cry. At her behest, Takemichi sobs in her arms.

## "The law of the jungle"

**"The law of the jungle"** is the fifth chapter of the 24th volume and the 211th chapter overall of the *Tokyo卍Revengers* manga series, written and illustrated by Ken Wakui.

## Summary

With him, Inupi, and Draken surrounded by Rokuhara Tandai, Takemichi remarks on the vast number of gang members, as well as the size of their leader. After Draken confirms that Inupi is relatively uninjured, he reiterates to South Terano that he will never join Rokuhara Tandai, as he retired from gang life. Hearing this, Terano punches Draken across the face; this impact throws Draken to the ground, to Takemichi and Inupi's alarm.

Terano angrily tells Draken that he will never forgive him if he decides to retire, attributing Toman's strength to Draken's presence. Punching Draken repeatedly, Terano does so while exclaiming musical terms. Takemichi sees the assault as unfair, since Draken has retired from fighting; he wonders if Terano is a monster. With Draken on the ground, Terano tells him that they had the same ideals: to make a new era for delinquents. He attributes this as the reason he traveled to Tokyo to defeat Toman. Continuing, he tells Draken that retiring is unforgiving, explaining that the strongest retain their position until they are defeated. After declaring that it is a dog-eat-dog world, Terano presents Draken with an ultimatum: work under him, or die here.

He then turns to Takemichi, addressing him as Toman's former First Division Captain; standing in front of him, Terano warns Takemichi that he is next. As Takemichi panics, a Rokuhara Tandai member is thrown at their feet. Turning the perpetrator, Brahman's Takeomi Akashi, Terano tells him not to ruin the fun. Akashi has brought a multitude of Brahman members with him, who have already started fighting Rokuhara Tandai. Takemichi panics as the two powerhouses face each other.

## "Make vision a reality"

**"Make vision a reality"** is the sixth chapter of the 30th volume and the 266th chapter overall of the *Tokyo卍Revengers* manga series, written and illustrated by Ken Wakui.

## Summary

A montage of past events is shown: a flashback of Mikey and Draken saving Takemichi from his duel with Kiyomasa, Takemichi stopping Mikey from killing Kazutora, and Takemichi during the Kanto Incident, standing proudly during Mikey's arrival.

At present, a beaten Takemichi is desperately trying to hold his own against Mikey, who insults Takemichi and questions his ability to fight. Takemichi then tells Mikey that he made a promise to Baji and Draken to take care of Toman and Mikey, respectively.

Takemichi then charges at Mikey, and is immediately knocked to the floor by one of his kicks. As Takemichi thinks back to his last interaction with Hina, when he confessed his fear of confronting Mikey, he thinks to himself and decides to look past his fear for the sake of his friends and the future he is trying to create. Charging at Mikey once again, Takemichi recalls all the events that led up to this moment, telling Mikey that he is the only one that can save him.

This back-and-forth exchange continues until Takemichi starts to go deaf and blind from all the head trauma caused to him by Mikey. Takemichi then sees a vision of the near future where Mikey kicks him once again, but is too slow to react, which lets Mikey get another kick on him.

## Summary

The ambulance arrives. As the paramedics load Draken into the ambulance, Draken thinks back to January 1st, 2005.

Toman's leaders ride towards the beach to celebrate the new year. Draken asks the First and Fourth Division captains and vice-captains about their respective gang conflicts, both of which ended in Toman's victory. Meanwhile, Peh-yan, Pah-chin, Hakkai, and Mitsuya attribute Toman's success to Mikey's leadership. Draken agrees, adding that Mikey, who is riding ahead of them, is the face of Toman. Watching Mikey, Mitsuya remarks that without Mikey's presence, it feels lonely. Interrupting their thoughts, Mikey urges them to ride faster, as they may miss the sunrise.

The group arrives at the beach at 4 AM, where they marvel at the starry sky. To combat the cold weather, Baji orders Chifuyu and Hakkai to buy something from the convenience store. Draken starts running on the beach, joined by Mitsuya, Baji, Pah-chin, Peh-yan, and Smiley. The Fifth Division leaders' absence is by Draken: Mucho did not want to bring his car.

By the time Hakkai and Chifuyu return, the sky has brightened, and the captains have tired out from the run. Draken spots Mikey at the pier, watching the sunrise. As Draken approaches Mikey's spot, the other members stare in awe at the sky. Mikey places his palm above the sun and clenches it, grasping the sun. He tells Draken to hold onto the world. Grinning, Draken agrees: this year, they will conquer the whole country.

As he remembers that morning, Draken weeps, remarking that his final memories are with Toman. He tells Emma he is on his way, visualizing their spirits reuniting as he dies.

## "Back-stab"

**"Back-stab"** is the sixth chapter of the 16th volume and the 140th chapter overall of the *Tokyo卍Revengers* manga series, written and illustrated by Ken Wakui.

## Summary

When Takemichi asks Mucho about his motivation, Mucho pulls up a chair and explains that Toman's Fifth Division has a unique role, serving as the "Special Task Division" which enables them to engage in infighting. Calling the Fifth Division the "Public Morality Council", Mucho says that the Fifth Division serves to punish Toman's traitors, even without Mikey's permission. Confused, Takemichi wonders if Mucho is not Tenjiku's ally, contrary to what he suspected earlier; he asks if Mucho suspects that he is a traitor, to which Mucho merely responds that his motto is "guilty until proven innocent". This further confuses Takemichi, who asks again whether he is a suspected traitor; bafflingly, Mucho says he does not know.

Inupi reveals to those there that he and Izana Kurokawa have an extended history together; when Izana was the eighth leader of the Black Dragons, he ordered Inupi, his right-hand man, to support the ninth generation. Inupi speculates that Mucho believes Takemichi is a spy for Tenjiku and brought him and Kokonoi into Toman as a part of this, but he and Kokonoi defend Takemichi, explaining that none of them are involved in betraying Toman. Mucho responds that they are getting worked up over a misunderstanding, explaining that his special role in Toman has nothing to do with the current situation.

Mucho recalls that he and Izana committed crimes together, then formed different gangs and became known as the S-62 Generation, a powerful group of delinquents. However, Izana stopped engaging in gang activity, leaving Mikey to recruit him into Toman. He explains to Takemichi that he is a founding member of Tenjiku. When Takemichi asks him if he is betraying Mikey and Toman, Mucho explains that his loyalty to Izana takes priority. Therefore, Takemichi, Inupi, and Kokonoi are all his enemies.

Pinocchio

Pinocchio is a character in LazyRonpa who does not participate in the killing game. He is one of the workers in the Spoilero's factory. Pinocchio introduces himself initially as the Ultimate Weight Lifter but later reveals to be the Ultimate Liar.

## Introduction

[PINOCCHIO] My name's Pinocchio!

[PENNY] Oh! Oh! And you're the Ultimate Weight Lifter, right? I mean, you were carrying stuff all over the place in the...

[PINOCCHIO] ...Heh! Yep, I did deal with a lot of the heavy stuff. In any case - long time no see, guys! Just wish our meeting could be under different circumstances...

## Personality

Pinocchio is a mild mannered person who is generally friendly and helpful. However, he is a cunning liar as he has mastered the ability to give half-truths and not straight up denying or agreeing with things. He is also an opportunist: Pinocchio doesn't want to stay in the factory miserable for his whole life if another option is to do unwanted work until he is free. He doesn't still lack empathy as he is unable to murder the others when Spoilero orders him to do so.

## Relationships

### Mr. Spoilero

Pinocchio doesn't exactly like Spoilero and tells that he likes to do Spoilero's dirty works as much as any other person. He is still working together with him in order to get his book back. These two are only bound by a contract and as long as Pinocchio does not break it, he and his book are safe.

When Pinocchio broke their contract, Spoilero got immediately rid of him.

### Robbie Rotten

In the past Pinocchio experienced similar threat by Robbie (in a less lethal way), but Pinocchio doesn't feel bitter about it anymore. He just wants to get back to home: He isn't exactly one to dig out old grudges either way.

## Trivia

* Pinocchio appears only in one *LazyTown* episode: season 4 and episode 4 *"New Kid In Town"*

## "Strange bedfellows"

**"Strange bedfellows"** is the seventh chapter of the 29th volume and the 258th chapter overall of the *Tokyo卍Revengers* manga series, written and illustrated by Ken Wakui.

## Summary

The train has stopped. Hakkai comments that it could have caused a disaster as Mikey looks onward silently, calling Haruchiyo’s name. He then orders his gang to finish Toman off while they are worn out and they cheer. An already worn-out Smiley reluctantly comments that Toman is not making a comeback.

Takemichi finds Kakucho unconscious inside the train and attempts to wake him up but to no avail. He cries that he cannot die yet as Takemichi has not thanked him for his sacrifice.

At the same time, Mitsuya spots Haruchiyo walking toward them and warns Takemichi. Enraged, Takemichi attacks him but gets kicked back instead. Haruchiyo draws his sword, tells him that he has no chance of winning against Mikey, and prepares to attack. Suddenly, someone in a motorcycle yells out to Takemichi, complaining about how he's going to end like that. He then jumps out of his motorcycle directly targeting Haruchiyo, who gets rammed by his torso and Takemichi is saved.

Haruchiyo’s assailant complains to Mitsuya about his uniform size as Hakkai, Inupi, and Koko react in shock. Takemichi is also surprised that the assailant, Taiju Shiba, has arrived to the fight. Wearing a Toman uniform, Taiju is introduced as the Sixth Division Captain.

## "Nothing is left"

**"Nothing is left"** is the fourth chapter of the 20th volume and the 174th chapter overall of the *Tokyo卍Revengers* manga series, written and illustrated by Ken Wakui.

## Summary

After Mikey tells Izana that he wants to save him, Izana angrily tells him to shut up, kicking him. However, Mikey avoids the attack, remarking to Izana that he is starting to miss; he then punches and kicks Izana in succession, bringing him to the ground, much to Kisaki's disquiet. A shocked Takemichi notes that although Izana was temporally unconscious, he regains his strength immediately.

When Izana quickly gets up, he remarks that he is finally enjoying the fight, as Mikey's power poses a formidable challenge. Mikey dodges Izana's punch and instead strikes Izana in the chest, asking why Izana became the way he did, unable to love his siblings; he tells Izana that he and Emma would have welcomed him. Hearing Mikey question him, Izana is reminded of when Shinichiro said those same words to him. He responds in the same way: angrily telling the other to shut up. As he rushes towards Mikey with his fist, Mikey punches him; as Izana recoils from the attack, he visualizes Shinichiro and Emma standing with Mikey.

When Mikey tells Izana he lost, Izana screams, grabbing Kisaki's gun. Pointing the gun at Mikey, he asks if he will lose everything after he loses the fight. Crying, Izana thinks back to his mother, who abandoned him. With tears in her eyes, she told Izana to stay strong, despite his solitude.

## "Giant Killing"

**"Giant Killing"** is the fourth chapter of the 28th volume and the 246th chapter overall of the *Tokyo卍Revengers* manga series, written and illustrated by Ken Wakui.

## Summary

Kakucho lies on the ground defeated after he was unexpectedly hurled by Takemichi. Toman and Kanto Manji are surprised by this occurrence and momentarily pause the battle.

While Kanto Manji members look on in shock, Toman prides Takemichi’s strength and notes his grit in the gang’s preceding battles, where he confronted Mikey during the Battle of Three Deities, won against Taiju Shiba on Christmas Eve, and carried Toman’s name during the Tenjiku battle until only he remained standing. Takemichi’s conquest against Kakucho influences Chifuyu to follow his footsteps, and Toman charges at Kanto Manji under his command.

Kanto Manji members are knocked one by one as the Toman Captains advance forward with their Vice-Captains in tow. Inupi effortlessly attacks his opponents at once while Senju defeats 13 of them.

When the battle resumes, Mikey approaches Kakucho on the ground and encourages him to keep fighting. He indirectly mentions Izana Kurokawa’s sacrifice two years ago during the Toman-Tenjiku showdown where Kakucho was saved from the gunfire, which triggers him to get back up on his feet. He explains that he had to cool down earlier, hence his initial defeat, then lands a blow at Chifuyu and the Kawata twins that knock them off.

Kakucho punches Takemichi who blocks his hit. He recognizes Takemichi’s feats and strength from their childhood memories, and observes that the heroic Takemichi he once knew is back.

## "Even I can"

**"Even I can"** is the first chapter of the 16th volume and the 135th chapter overall of the *Tokyo卍Revengers* manga series, written and illustrated by Ken Wakui.

## Summary

After his time leap, Takemichi rushes to the Tachibana household, meeting Naoto outside; in an attempt to reassure himself that Naoto is still alive in the future, he meets Naoto outside and desperately shakes his hand. However, Takemichi shakes his hand to no avail: he cannot time-leap to the future, meaning that his trigger in the future, Naoto, is dead. As Takemichi thinks of the many times Naoto encouraged him, despite his failures, he breaks down. He tells Naoto to go home, apologizing for making him come out so late.

Grief-stricken, Takemichi sits on the bottom of a playground slide, where he remains for a while, with his eyes downcast. He notices a shadow of who he assumes to be Naoto; Takemichi recollects aloud when he and Naoto first met in the future, after Hina's death and his first time-leap. He talks to Naoto, telling him about how he and the future Naoto have tried to save Hina on numerous occasions, but with little success. Even worse, Takemichi says he cannot return to the future anymore, as the future Naoto is dead. He asks what he should do, but says that there is no point in consulting the Naoto in front of him. Takemichi begins muttering aimlessly; though he wants to change the past and save everyone, he concludes that he will always fail, declaring he is better off dead.

Suddenly, Hina appears behind him on the slide, bumping him gently. She tells Takemichi she loves him. He realizes that he mistook her shadow for Naoto's, and she has heard everything he has said. Hina asks Takemichi's actual age, and he replies that he is 26; she says she will only ask another question: has Takemichi proposed to her in the future yet? Takemichi admits that he has not yet, but blurts out that he thinks it would be nice if they got married, much to his own shock. When Hina asks if that served as a proposal, Takemichi answers yes; Hina responds that she can now die happy. As Takemichi's eyes well up with tears, he vows not to give up again, motivated by his love for Hina.

## "Train wreck"

**"Train wreck"** is the third chapter of the 29th volume and the 254th chapter overall of the *Tokyo卍Revengers* manga series, written and illustrated by Ken Wakui.

## Summary

Takemichi envisions an oncoming train advancing off the rails and hitting the freight containers. The containers land on Kanto Manji Gang and Toman members and inevitably crush and kill Mitsuya, Chifuyu, and Hakkai, among others. Takemichi also envisions Haruchiyo admitting to killing them, and he tries triggering another vision once it ends, but fails.

He realizes that Haruchiyo has manipulated the railroad to kill the members off, and flees from the scene to stop the accident. Kakucho, who Takemichi was battling against, orders him to return to their fight but decides to chase him instead.

Takemichi begs to let him go. He predicts that the vision must have already begun and locates Haruchiyo to be at the end of the tracks. With this, he concludes that he must stop Haruchiyo at all costs, but he is hurled away by Kakucho who, after finally catching up to him, demands an explanation for his escape. Takemichi brings himself back up on his feet, and urges him to move lest anyone die.

Inside a train, Haruchiyo struggles to operate it but eventually manages to make it move. Suddenly, he meets Takemichi and Kakucho outside and glowers at the halt of his schemes. Kakucho is surprised that Takemichi predicted accurately, and offers to draw their fight to momentarily join forces in stopping Haruchiyo.

## "Lose your touch"

**"Lose your touch"** is the second chapter of the 20th volume and the 172nd chapter overall of the *Tokyo卍Revengers* manga series, written and illustrated by Ken Wakui.

## Summary

Young Izana is alone and abandoned in the institution, until Shinichiro visited him, claiming to be his brother. Shinichiro, who Izana regarded as his one and only brother, taught Izana everything he knew, from fighting, delinquency, fashion, hairstyle, and even his own mannerisms.

A few years later, Izana shows up at Shinichiro's bike shop, asking Shinichiro to ride on his bike and spend time with him. On Izana's bike, Shinichiro remarks that he is now riding the passenger seat, to which Izana is proud of his skills. When Shinichiro asks when Izana was released from reform school, Izana responds by suggesting Shinichiro leave the next generation of Black Dragons to him, as he wants to protect things important to Shinichiro. Shinichiro replies that he will consider it, thanking Izana; he explains that he wants to unite all his siblings, telling Izana he will leave the Black Dragons for him; then, Manjiro Sano will take over the Black Dragons after. Upon hearing this, Izana's vision becomes warped as he struggles to comprehend the fact that Shinichiro is not only his brother.

A few years after that, Kisaki approaches a depressed and drained Izana, remarking on his sorry state; he asks if Izana is depressed because his brother died. After this encounter, Izana built Tenjiku.

Back at the fight, as Izana faces Mikey, he tells Mikey that Shinichiro cannot be his ideal brother anymore; because of this, Izana plans to kill all of Toman and shape a distraught Mikey into Shinichiro. He tells Mikey to become empty for this. When Mikey asks if that is the reason he killed Emma, Izana responds by delivering a kick that throws Mikey onto the ground. Standing over Mikey, Izana says that Mikey took everything away from him, so he must kill him.

In another flashback, Izana promises Emma that he will come back for her, just before he leaves for the institution.

## "Family tree"

**"Family tree"** is the eighth chapter of the 16th volume and the 142nd chapter overall of the *Tokyo卍Revengers* manga series, written and illustrated by Ken Wakui.

## Summary

Takemichi stands against Mucho, telling him that he will never give up Kokonoi over to Tenjiku. When Mucho remarks that Takemichi has no chance of winning a fight against him, Takemichi replies that it is not about whether he can win or not, which prompts Inupi to remember something Shinichiro said to him, when he asked if winning was truly important. Although he is still restrained, Takemichi charges at Mucho.

After being unconscious for a while, Takemichi finds himself atop a pile of garbage, along with Inupi, remembering what transpired in their fight against Mucho. After hearing Takemichi's words, Inupi tells him that he will help Takemichi fight Mucho. As they rush at Mucho, Mucho remarks to Kokonoi that they will die unless Kokonoi chooses to join Tenjiku; just as Mucho prepares to punch Inupi, Kokonoi begs him to stop, promising to do whatever is required of him.

Released, Takemichi is carrying Inupi to the hospital. Inupi apologizes for being unable to protect Kokonoi, but Takemichi tells him not to worry, as Kokonoi will not be killed, since he is a valuable asset for Tenjiku. He confesses that though he initially thought Inupi and Kokonoi were irredeemable individuals, he now realizes they are good people, as Inupi helped him fight, and Kokonoi sacrificed himself to save them. He says they are his friends, and swears to save Kokonoi, reassuring Inupi. When Takemichi admits he does not have a plan yet, Inupi gets off his back and leads him to an abandoned building that served as his and Kokonoi's hideout.

There, they attend to their injuries. Inupi explains that he wanted to revive the Black Dragons with a specific goal in mind, which is why Kokonoi stayed devoted to him. Because of this, Inupi says that he would die for Kokonoi; suddenly, he bows, telling Takemichi that he is entrusting his life to him. Crying, Inupi begs Takemichi to become the eleventh leader of the Black Dragons and save Kokonoi.
