## "Rebuild"

**"Rebuild"** is the ninth chapter of the fourth volume and the 32nd chapter overall of the *Tokyo卍Revengers* manga series, written and illustrated by Ken Wakui.

## Summary

Hina, Naoto, and Takemichi sit awkwardly in Hina's apartment, despite their past closeness, much to Naoto's irritation. Unable to stand the embarrassing atmosphere, Naoto begins to leave, but Takemichi desperately begs him to stay, as he is extremely nervous. Hina laughs at Takemichi's reaction, remarking that he has not changed, while Takemichi notices a four-leaf clover Hina is wearing. Naoto decides to drive the group elsewhere in an attempt to lighten the atmosphere.

In the car, it is equally as awkward as in the apartment. Takemichi studies Hina in the rearview mirror, wondering if it is the same necklace he gave her twelve years ago and if Hina still loves him. His insecurity gets the best of him, and he tells himself that it is a coincidence, but tries to check again to be completely sure. Suddenly, Hina orders Naoto to stop his car when they reach Umishita Park, and she asks Takemichi to walk with her.

Hina tells Takemichi that the park evokes memories, specifically a memory of her with someone she liked on Christmas Eve. Hearing this, Takemichi realizes that Hina has moved on, and laments about his naivety. He thinks back to when Hina dumped him twelve years ago. Hina says she still has not forgotten the person she was with on Christmas Eve, who broke up with her. Takemichi replies that he cannot believe that anyone would dump her, and Hina, crying, wonders why she was dumped, imploring Takemichi. Takemichi comes to the realization that Hina is talking about him. Overwhelmed with this information, he rushes to the bathroom, confused, as his memories do not align with this information.

Hina's words about not forgetting Takemichi compel him to decide to change, and he decides to ask her out. As he walks out of the bathroom, he encounters a man, who remarks in surprise that Takemichi is not in the car. Though confused at first, upon seeing the man's hand tattoos, Takemichi realizes that the man is Hanma and gets an uneasy feeling from this. He rushes to Naoto's parked car, where Hina is sitting, just in time to see a car driving into it.

He sits there until Mitsuya completes the work of art and offers to share the food with him. Mitsuya finishes the food and leaves nothing for Draken, so in exchange, Draken claims the dragon design as his own. Later, Draken invites Mitsuya to the brothel where he lives. They play cards with the prostitutes and the two bond with each other. Later, as Draken walks Mitsuya home, he asks if Mitsuya likes his mother's cooking, to which he receives the reply that her cooking is bad and he would have his own. Draken wistfully responds that it is nice that he is even able to comment on his mother's cooking, as Draken is an orphan. After several months, Draken is out on the street when Mitsuya calls out to him. They both exclaim in surprise when they see that both of them had gotten the dragon design, that Mitsuya painted back then, tattooed on their temples. Since then, they have been inseparable friends.

## Summary

After it is revealed that Shinichiro is Mikey's brother, Baji and Kazutora panic, as Shinichiro is not breathing. Shocked by his own actions, Kazutora has a mental breakdown, muttering frantically and incoherently. Baji plans to call an ambulance for Shinichiro, then leave the shop, but the police have already arrived on the scene. As a result of his breakdown, Kazutora begins to blame Mikey, and convinces himself that he has to kill him. Baji and Kazutora are arrested, and Shinichiro dies at the scene. As he is getting led out by the police, Mikey sees Baji and asks what happened. Baji begins to cry, and apologizes to Mikey.

In the present, Baji says he considers this event the reason that separated Mikey, Kazutora, and him. Since Kazutora took full responsibility, Baji did not end up in reform school. After learning this, Takemichi believes that he will be unable to bring Baji back from Valhalla. Impressed by Baji's story, Hanma gives the Valhalla uniform to him, and tells Takemichi to relay a message to Mikey: a week from now, on October 31st, Valhalla and Toman will fight in the abandoned car lot.

Lying awake at night, Takemichi processes the information he has learned, concluding that he only has a week to bring Baji back, an impossible feat; this would also make his goal of finding a better future impossible. The next day, as he is walking to school, Takemichi encounters a beat up boy, who invites him to sit on the swing next to him. Scared by his appearance, Takemichi ignores him, until the boy mentions that the previous day was a disaster, but mentions how he admires Baji. Confused, Takemichi asks if the boy was Baji's friend, who responds by introducing himself as the First Division Vice-Captain, Chifuyu Matsuno, who Baji beat up in a test of faith. Chifuyu tells Takemichi that he should be thankful to Baji, as he helped misdirect attention from Takemichi ruining the nomination ceremony. Additionally, Chifuyu suspects that Baji has ulterior goals in joining Valhalla, and does not want to destroy Toman; instead, Baji wants to target Kisaki.

He will also participate in support of Kyazutora, who has always failed to get his class to act in a stage play.

Kanto Manji Gang

The **Kanto Manji Gang** (関東卍會, *Kantō Manji-Kai*?) is a motorcycle gang formed during Tokyo Civil War Era. It is currently led by Manjiro Sano. With the conclusion of the Battle of Three Deities that resulted in South Terano's death, the Kanto Manji Gang expands its numbers as it takes over Rokuhara Tandai.

## Appearance

### Uniform

The Kanto Manji Gang's uniform is similar to that of the 10th Generation Black Dragon's. It consists of white pants and black boots as well as a long white trench coat with the gang's manifesto running along the sleeves. Kanto Manji's complete name in kanji is embellished on the back.

## Background

Kanto Manji was formed by Manjiro Sano after disbanding the Tokyo Manji Gang during Tokyo Civil War Era.

## Structure

The goals of the organization, if any, are unknown. In fact, the top brass of fellow top gang, Brahman, has a negative view of the Kanto Manji Gang, believing that unlike Tokyo Manji Gang, it has no ambition whatsoever, much contrary to Tokyo Manji Gang's original goal of creating a new age of delinquents, thus possibly meaning the Kanto Manji Gang likely engages in indiscriminate violence. Kanto Manji Gang's modus operandi has, by Brahman's beliefs, become so warped that it is distinguishable from the Tokyo Manji Gang and even believing Mikey to be a "bad guy".

Through unknown circumstances, this gang would emerge victorious against its rivals, Brahman and Rokuhara Tandai, merging them within it and eventually forming Bonten, the most dangerous criminal organization in all of Japan.

Former members of both Rokuhara Tandai and Brahman have joined the Kanto Manji Gang along with Shuji Hanma.

## "Christmas Eve"

**"Christmas Eve"** is the second chapter of the 11th volume and the 90th chapter overall of the *Tokyo卍Revengers* manga series, written and illustrated by Ken Wakui.

## Summary

Hina reminds Takemichi of their plans to meet at Umishita Park on Christmas Eve. As Takemichi walks home, elated, he suddenly remembers Umishita Park as the place where he dumped her on Christmas Eve, in the future. Takemichi wonders what would have caused this, as he believes that him dumping Hina is impossible. Additionally, Christmas Eve is only a week away, so he does not foresee having a reason to dump him by then. As Takemichi reassures himself, a man approaches him, introducing himself as Hina and Naoto's father, Masato Tachibana.

Sitting down at a café, Masato tells Takemichi that his wife has told him a lot about Takemichi, such as Hina dating him. Takemichi is visibly nervous in front of Hina's father, but Masato reassures him, telling Takemichi that he does not need to be nervous. Masato tells Takemichi that his job as a police officer prevents him from spending time with his children, so he hears about them from his wife. Up until recently, Naoto hated his father's job, as it kept them apart, but he now wants to become a police officer. Masato attributes this change to Takemichi and thanks him sincerely, bowing. He then asks Takemichi to do a favor for him.

Meanwhile, Hina arrives home for dinner. She asks her mother if she still loves Masato, to which her mother replies that she loves him to bits. Hina says that in ten years, she wants to tell Takemichi the same thing. Takemichi sits alone in the restaurant, processing the favor Masato asked of him: he wants Takemichi to break up with Hina, due to his status of being a delinquent.

On Christmas Eve, Hanma, Kisaki, Chifuyu, and Takemichi intend to meet and discuss their plans for the next day. Takemichi is late; he told Chifuyu that he has something small to take care of. He meets up at Umishita Park with Hina and tells her that they should break up.

## Black Dragon

### Wakasa Imaushi

During Benkei's glory days as the leader of Ragnarok, Wakasa became his nemesis as they collided with each other's rule in the Kanto region. Wakasa's gang Kodo Rengo aggressively feuded with Ragnarok until Shinichiro Sano came to unify them. As their gangs joined forces under Shincihiro's command, they eventually became close friends who became known for their abnormal strength as the "Living Legends" duo. Their camaraderie also led them to help each other out in battle. Once the First Generation Black Dragon disbanded, Benkei helped Wakasa out at his gym.

### Shinichiro Sano

Shinichiro was the catalyst to Benkei and Wakasa Imaushi's friendship. Benkei first met Shinichiro when he miraculously unified Ragnarok and Kodo Rengo which prompted him to soon become his devout follower. His discipleship toward Shinichiro continued on as the latter established Black Dragon and granted Benkei the title as the First Generation's Guard Unit Captain. Through Shinichiro's charisma and power, Benkei heavily put a grand amount of his trust and respect on him.

### Takeomi Akashi

Takeomi has been one of Benkei’s closest friends since their leadership and serving time in the First Generation Black Dragon together. They ruled Japan as its biggest gang in their early 20s and have always had each other’s backs in battle, especially when Takeomi is in deep danger. In the Battle of Three Deities, Benkei protects Takeomi from South Terano’s punches, and helps him back on his feet. Overall, their friendship seems to be something that Benkei genuinely values, as he had been at Takeomi’s side through the highs and lows of his life.

## Brahman

### Senju Kawaragi

Benkei protects Senju as part of his duty as a Brahman executive and one of her subordinates. He never misses a beat in shielding her from harm, which reflects his brotherly type of love toward her. Before Brahman's formation, Benkei often applauded her fighting abilities and soon supported her decision to create her own gang. His guidance, alongside the other members of Black Dragon, were her pillars in forming Brahman, which became one of the many reasons why Senju succeeds in leading the team during Tokyo Civil War Era.

Kodo Rengo

**Kodo Rengo** (煌道連合 (こうどうれんごう) , *Kōdō Rengou*?) was a gang that dominated East Kanto under the leadership of Wakasa Imaushi.

## Appearance

### Uniform

Kodo Rengo's uniform consisted of a black jumpsuit with their motto written on the sleeves and the backside. It was secured on the waist by a belt and came with a pair of white biker boots for footwear. Some members would wear sandals or slippers as alternatives. Its leader's uniform, worn exclusively by Wakasa, came in two separate garments that included a heavy long trench coat adorned with the gang mottos and a pair of pants in the color white.

## Background

Kodo Rengo was the final product of the union of twelve gangs from the eastern side of Kanto. It was known to continuously feud with Ragnarok, the gang that ruled the western side under the leadership of Keizo Arashi, before Shinichiro Sano put the dispute to rest and welded the gangs together.

## Structure

Prior to the rise of the First Generation Black Dragon, twelve gangs from East Kanto joined forces to assemble Kodo Rengo. The man that stood at the top of the ranks was none other than Wakasa, who was ultimately feared and dubbed as the "White Leopard" during his rule.

## Trivia

* Kodo Rengo had a drastically similar uniform with the First Generation Black Dragon and the Tokyo Manji Gang, two motorbike gangs that came years after Kodo Rengo was formed, with the former having Wakasa himself as a founding member.

## Tokyo Manji Gang

### Takemichi Hanagaki

As an adult, Naoto functions as Takemichi's time-leaping trigger and uses his police connections to supply information about Toman's past. Although he initially viewed Takemichi as a pathetic person and wonders why his sister fell in love with him, he begins to respect Takemichi for his perseverance and strength in their shared mission of saving Hina.

Throughout Takemichi's numerous failures, he reassures Takemichi of his impactful actions, encouraging him to continue in the mission. Naoto eventually comes to see Takemichi as a hero and values his life, shown in events such as killing Mikey to ensure Takemichi's safety and sustaining bullets in Takemichi's place. Because Naoto feels indebted to Takemichi for saving both him and his sister, he continues to supply information, such as intel on Bonten, to him; Naoto also obliges Takemichi's request to time-leap after the mission is complete.

## "lingering scent"

## Summary

While sitting in Smiley and Angry's ramen shop with Hina, Takemichi ponders the familiarity of the tattoo he saw on one of the Bonten members, to the point where Hina becomes irritated at his lack of focus. As they eat their ramen, Takemichi notices the picture they took on Toman's disbandment; although he was not able to see him, he asks if Mikey is doing well.

To Takemichi's surprise, Smiley says that he has no idea. Confused, Takemichi asks if they ever meet when Mikey is not working overseas; Angry says he has heard this from Draken, who is probably the only person who has seen Mikey. Angry admits that he has not seen Mikey in over ten years. As Takemichi tries to process this information, Hina's earring catches his eye, prompting him to remember the design of Bonten's tattoo from Izana Kurokawa's earrings.

Although he cannot fully comprehend what he has learned, Takemichi rushes out of the restaurant with a foreboding feeling. As he runs to Draken's bike shop, questions flow through his head; thinking back to the news report, he wonders if Izana is truly dead and if Mikey is alive. Arriving at the bike shop, Takemichi asks why Draken lied to him about Mikey. Draken reveals that Mikey left them twelve years ago, which Takemichi notes is when he left the past. Because of this, Draken does not know whether Mikey is alive or not; he and Chifuyu lied to Takemichi because they wanted him to be happy. Draken implores Takemichi to stop trying to find Mikey, as Mikey has become unrecognizably evil.

Later on, Takemichi sits on a bench by the harbor, where he meets up with Naoto. Takemichi apologizes for troubling Naoto, but he says that it is the least he can do for someone who saved his life. Naoto presents the information he has found about Bonten and the "white-haired man" Takemichi saw. Bonten is Japan's worst criminal organization, involved in a variety of crimes, such as gambling, fraud, prostitution, and murder. Information surrounding Bonten is difficult to obtain; Naoto explains that Bonten is the equivalency to Toman in the alternate futures. The "white-haired man" is their leader; contrary to Takemichi's suspicions, he is not Izana; instead, Boten's leader is Mikey. When Takemichi hears this, he is shocked.

## "Worth my while"

**"Worth my while"** is the first chapter of the 31st volume and the 270th chapter overall of the *Tokyo卍Revengers* manga series, written and illustrated by Ken Wakui.

## Summary

Shinichiro went with Baji to pick up Haruchiyo from detention, having spent a year after injuring his friends with a katana. Shinichiro asked about Baji's school life, to which Baji replied that middle school was not interesting.

Haruchiyo was surprised to see them. Shinichiro explained that Takeomi refused to speak to him, so he came for him instead. Haruchiyo wondered about Mikey's state, so Shinichiro drove everyone to see him.

Reaching the clinic, Haruchiyo was surprised to find an emaciated Mikey. As he tried to ask Mikey if he still remembered him, he reacted with horror at his condition after touching his hand, claiming that he was not Mikey anymore. Later on, Baji revealed his worries about Shinichiro; his grandfather had died, Emma ran away from home, and he had to both work and study at the same time to be certified as a caregiver. Baji also speculated that Mikey did not have much time left to live.

One month later, on July 20th, Mikey passed away, leaving Shinichiro in shambles. He later spoke with Wakasa on how he got involved in shady businesses to support Mikey in the last four years, even resorting to follow unproven methods and religious cults that promised false cures. Out of annoyance, Shinichiro suggested to kill them as payback for their deception. Wakasa was relieved that Mikey passed away, thinking that Shinichiro would had collapsed first. He proposed Shinichiro to join his gang so they could reign supreme. Without a response from Shinichiro, they settled for drinks in honor of Mikey.

At the bar, Shinichiro overheard a conversation about an old homeless man, who preached about being able to time-leap. He was beaten and called a liar after being unable to demonstrate his ability since he claimed it required a "trigger". Interested, Shinichiro approached the guests whom he overheard the story from, and demanded where the man was. He ended up beating all of them on his own as he ordered to know the man's location.

## Tokyo Manji Gang

### Takemichi Hanagaki

Kakucho and Takemichi were childhood friends. After Kakucho was beaten by a group of older kids, Takemichi promised to get revenge for Kakucho. Although Kakucho declined, saying that he needed to get stronger, Kakucho saw Takemichi as his childhood hero. Because of this, Kakucho asks Takemichi to help save Izana from the darkness.

In his fight against Takemichi, Kakucho says he prioritizes his devotion to Izana over his childhood friendship with Takemichi, threatening to kill him. After witnessing Takemichi's unflinching determination against Tenjiku, Kakucho comes to respect Takemichi even more, wanting to recruit him to Rokuhara Tandai. He is also unsurprised by Takemichi's new goal of defeating Mikey, having already witnessed his drive.

## Tenjiku

### Izana Kurokawa

Izana encountered Kakucho at an orphanage, complimenting Kakucho's scar. When he learns Kakucho is making a grave for his parents, Izana destroys it, telling Kakucho to forget those who died, as his life is now worthless. Kakucho attributes Izana for giving his life a purpose as his servant. Aside from his devotion to Izana, Kakucho and Izana are also childhood friends and playmates; Kakucho recalls he and Izana playing in the snow while planning Tenjiku.

Because of his undying loyalty to Izana, Kakucho also cares for Izana, wanting to stop Kisaki from warping and manipulating Izana through his underhanded tactics. He makes clear his oppositions, such as asking Izana to reconsider the plan to murder Emma Sano, as well as slapping a gun out of Izana's hands. Kakucho always sees himself as inferior to Izana, questioning why Izana would sacrifice himself, a king, to protect him, a mere servant. After Izana dies, Kakucho cries in grief, saying that he will join him in death soon. When Kakucho finds himself alive, he expresses guilt for being a survivor, while people such as his parents and Izana die. To gain closure after Izana's death, Kakucho visits their childhood orphanage and creates a makeshift grave for Izana, telling him to rest well.
