started reading the manga, I'm at chapter 31 now, he saved Draken's life, became respected, still goes back to the future, where he's still working a menial job. Why not just live his life from that point on, why skip all those years?

It’s essential for him travel back to the present to know what happens in the past in order to change it.
And also time traveling doesn’t work as simply as you think, who knows what might happen if he stays in the past for too long.

That’s just your point of view. Who knows what the creator of Tokyo Revengers thought.

I just wrote a logical possibility to prove that the logic behind this decision in the manga serves a purpose.

I don't think I spoiled anything big, also this is a pretty essential question. I see absolutely no reason to skip back to the future again if everything seems to be working fine and he has another chance at life.

but it carries a risk of not being able to return back to the past. It seemed to him like he solved everything.

If he solved everything then there’s no need to go back in the past either way. Also the fact that he has a shitty life in the present even after going through all of that, proves that there are still things he must change in the past. Also it’ll be shown in the future chapters that his ability will work as long as he wants it to work. What that means? I’ll let you find out for yourself.

Hina's death is still unsolved. He still has the same mission.

Thread moved from the anime adaptation sub-board.

Please make sure to use the right sub-board if you want to talk about the manga. Also cleaned multiple posts that were just about adding spoilers to the thread title. Please report threads with spoilers without spamming in it.

Pretty much this.
His sole purpose for going back to the past is to save Hina, not to make his life good.

I'm at chapter 114 now, still doesn't make sense, it's an entirely new timeline and he's skipping it to a confusing future instead of living it.

Why is he supposed to live it?
He is supposed to go to the future and see what went wrong to fix it in the past , if you just live it and not know what went wrong this is isn't a time travel , this is just re-living your life.

Also there is a villain , so even if you fix something ,he will mess things up and cause problems , the only thing he should do is directly killing Kisaki to solve everything which he just never thinks of.

there's his "I fixed things so I'm going home" attitude though, instead of "I'll go check if it turned out alright".

Man, don't get me wrong, I like Tokyo Revengers, but I'm with grei there. The time travel in Tokyo Revengers is awful when you think about it, and the author probably didn't think that much at all concerning physics stuff. He knows how to write two guys beating the shit out of themselves, but this man probably failed all his physics exams during school.

Bruh... are you saying they don't need it then? For example, if you're gonna use a power that uses light, you may respect that light can't go through opaque objects. If you're gonna use time travel, you might have some idea that it will cause entropy everywhere and going back and forth from past to future, changing its own destiny but still retaining the same power is a time paradox; I don't think it kills the manga, but it's surely a great defect

Re-living life as a teenager, no thanks. That only sounds fun in an Isekai setting. Adult life is more fun because you have money.

eh still why the hell would you need something fitional, everyone has their own explanation of time travel and no matter how they explain it, its not realistically accurate and the time travel stuff aint the main focus of the show, the main focus is the damn characters, cant your thick skull understand that ?

Well... I would say time travel is a completely essential component of Tokyo Revenger's plot, since it's what allows every story arc to happen. And yeah, talking about interpretation in science is not very correct at all; even if time travel is really theorethical rather than empirically proved, there are some stablished rules
