How well does it reflect the culture and activities of real-life Japanese delinquents?

Considering the fact that the author is a former gang member and according to all the documentaries I found about Japanese gang and yakuza I find it pretty accurate

Culture and activities, not physical ability that’s been exaggerated for shonen entertainment’s sake.

Idk about "Japanese delinquents" ......but as for delinquents as a whole, I refuse to agree, this show is not accurate in portraying delinquent as a whole, although it sure tries it's best to take inspiration from different shows n movies but surely fails in it.
💀pretty inaccurate, but sure it completes the fantasy of those adolescents.

i dont remember any delinquents with time travel abilities bro

Friends are nothing more than the people who you spend the fun, yet meaningless times with. When those times get rough, they aren’t there to support you.

Okay, I'm sorry but since you're asking how accurate it is in Japan.. How does anyone know?
Surely the best 'delinquents' anywhere in the world shouldn't be known??? Since y'know, they are delinquents..

Also, I'm pretty sure most delinquents don't have time travel.. but ye, you wanted to compare the two.. So, that's my view.
If someone says it's wrong to hope, I will tell them that they're wrong every time.

Pretty accurate as the mangaka was a member of such a gang earlier.

Honestly think its quite accurate. They are a biker gang after all and not the actual Yakuza, so them being middle schoolers is understandable. Plus considering the storys time period is early 2000s which Japanese biker gang was still popular, i think TR is a good portrayal of real life delinquents.

as with all entertainment media based on reality, it is heavily exaggerated and fantastical, it also likely differs vastly in it's complexities and nuance. However as it's based on a real culture, time period and phenomenon there are likely many parallels you can draw between to two.

So Tokyo Revengers or even any delinquent anime tbh, will ofc display a lot of similarities to the reality of delinquency/yankii culture whilst differing from the actual lived experience of those within it; in the real world.

in short; whilst it might share similarities to real happenings, it undoubtedly also looks very different to it's real world counterpart.

I always feel like they over exaggerate it to make it look cool or similar to American versions in all scenarios in anime. I'm a black American and I can tell you first hand that this I his young black gang members in America actually do to an extent(many cases even worse) I've heard from many ppl in Japan that even something like the yakuza is soft compared to mafia, American gangs, Russian mob, Chinese mob, etc. So yeah this is definitely over exaggerated but its still decent

And of course I don't mean everyone acts the same or all gangs but come across a young gang in LA, new york, Chicago, Atlanta, New Orleans, or Miami in America and I guarantee you they be doing stuff like this.
