MY GOD WHAT A GREAT EPISODE!!!

Kazutora is a coward, and Mikey can't be human. Draken vs Hanma was awesome. And Takemichi finally punching someone. I love this show.

And people complaining about animation... at this point you should've realized the budget on Tokyo Revengers is not that big, uh? Despite that fact LIDENFILMS is doing an awesome work.

That Kazutora flashback and reason was almost 90s Broly movie tier trash.
"I only studied a little bit of history and I have learned there are two current thoughts in human history. The opinion that there are things worth more than human life and the opinion that there is nothing preferable to life. When the war begins, it is on the pretext of the former type of people and it justify the latter when the war ends"

Man, I really dig this story and its characters but I wish the whole thing was handled by a better studio. The only thing they've done right is the OST. Pretty much everything else is mediocre at best.

Never piss either Draken or Mikey off, that's one thing clear.

And where the heck is Baji? God, not seeing him makes me extremely nervous.

And Kazutora - Jesus, I understand going in denial when you did something fucked up, but holding a grudge in two years and blame Mikey for Kazutora himself did and just happily tried to bash his head in with a pipe? I am afraid he got more than few screws loose.

And the animation - It wasn't the overly best, but I still hand it to LIDENFILMS, people can say otherwise, but this ain't MAPPA or Madhouse, don't expect fights to be like 'em. I was fine with this.

Kazutora

*Brings the idea and goes out of his own way to steal the bike for Mikeys Birthday*

*Instead of thinking or knocking Mikeys brother unconciously, he bashes his head and murders him*

*Realized that it was Mikeys brothers shop that he was robbing it from*

"It's Mikeys fault"

*States that if he kills Mikey he would be a hero* (even though he murdered his brother unintentionally)

I don't get it, Mikey never even asked for a Birthday gift, if anything this was Kazutoras fault especially how Mikey lost his brother which is a much worse position that Kazutora is in right now. And when he said "Become a Hero by killing your enemy, and how Mikey said "Is that why you killed my brother?" Does that imply Kazutora was doing it for the same reason to become a Hero?.,.. "To become a Hero"? WHAT?!

I'm pretty sure his idea was avoid getitng caught for stealing the Bike......

Takemichi annoyed me way too much this episode. He knows that Mikey is going to go crazy and kill Kazutora, which will act as the trigger for him to go to the dark side, yet he does nothing to create even a small change in that result. And he doesn't go and subtly protect Baji either. His goal is to CHANGE the events that happen, not fight in this stupid battle.
Literally what is the point of coming back, if you're not actively trying to change the events? He is 26, but has the cognitive deduction of a middle schooler still. He knows the triggers, and yet actively doesn't do anything to stop them.

Exactly, you’d think this man was sheltered his whole life or some shit. He’s not a convincing 26 year old mentally and heck even physically lmao. I just know this will be one of those animes I’ll look back in a few years and question why I even continued watching.

Yo, was my eyes trippin or did they forget to add before the scene frames at 20:07 minutes mark? I feel like there's something missing there, if you know what i mean. Two guys just suddenly pinning Mikey down, like what? Some part of the fights scene actually not so convincing me this episode, different from what i feel mostly at when they were against the Moebius. Oh well, this is Lidenfilm after all, so yeah, its not surprising if its end as a so-so.

Anything elses just a fine pieces. Takemichi not a crybaby anymore. That's surprising. Baji's missing, thus same with the impostor of the Manji gang, Kisaki. I feel like something wrong happened between those two. But, lets see next. Not to mention how Kazutora really a fucked up guy. His brain already broken when he killed Mikey's brother. No justification. Its just plain wrong. Even everyone else simply thought him crazy af. So, yeah, kill him, Mikey-sama!

Animation looked really weird in this one, but still overall an enjoyable episode.

Takemichi did his best, considering this guy doesn't fight at all, being able to hit some punches was already something. Plus, he helped bumping up the other memebers' morale.

Thought Mikey had died there but well, guess it's gonna be the same thing with Draken's death. When all hope seems lost, something is gonna happen and the future will be changed.

Saw some people guessing where is Baji, but... Where the hell is Kisaki as well? Maybe they are fighting? Or even worse. Maybe Kisaki is manipulating someone else to beat of Baji.

At least, let's hope for a more polished animation next week.

I hope it doesn't become something I don't regret watching. I like the concept, the setting, the theme, and most of the other characters. It's just Takemichi's constant cognitive dissonance and lack of critical thinking that throws me off. He is there to change events in the timeline, not play Middle School gangster. I understand that he was a mentally stunted 26 year old, but you think that there would have at least been some growth after understanding the fatal consequences of each event.

Dude... the battle of cringe, derpy-looking characters and super-human teens. *shivers* And man... if only Shinichiro had had the tungsten head his little bro has.

Awful episode. Same old story again: Takemichi being a pathetic mess who immediately forgot about checking on Baji the moment the fight started and come on, him suddenly becoming the moral support of ToMan is pure bullshit. Seriously, what a lame way to make his wimpy persona somewhat relevant again.

As for Kazutora... no comments. Incredible how the "nah, he's just batshit crazy" excuse was used to justify how badly written his character is.

And also, where the hell was Baji? A massive brawl occurring and the dude who loves punching pedestrians just vanishes? Yeah, right.

It maybe be an unpopular opinion, but I must confess I'm a bit disappointed. Animation has never been TR's strongest point, but in such an action packed episode like this one it gets too noticeable. Clunky, stiff, weak and without any type of creative stuff or crazy camera movement that adds some kind of dynamism to the fight scenes.

The show is fun, don't get me wrong, though I can't overlook how exaggerated the Mikey scene was. Dude got hitted several times with a pipe (!!!) and then he casually knocks those three out. I get that it's meant to show how strong and badass Mikey is, but that's too unrealistic even for Tokyo Revengers (Ik it's an anime, still).

Draken's and Takeuseless' parts were fine, nothing special but they had their time to shine in their one ways, so I'm okay with it.

I really hope Kazutora gets what he deserves, the guy is demented and none backstory will change my thoughts on him.

I usually go easy on animation because I know they are saving time to do battles justice... But now we reached an important battle and the level of animation is below what we usually get which is unacceptable. Only the last five minutes or so were bearable. I hope they did it to make the next ep look amazing.
I highly encourage everyone who is still an anime-only to try the manga, the art is infinitely better, I can't even comparte the lines of Ken Wakui to the very dull style in the anime.

Irony(ˈīrənē)can be categorized into different types, including verbal irony, dramatic irony, and situational irony. Verbal, dramatic, and situational irony are often used for emphasis in the assertion of a truth. The ironic form of simile, used in sarcasm, and some forms of litotes can emphasize one's meaning by the deliberate use of language which states the opposite of the truth, denies the contrary of the truth, or drastically and obviously understates a factual connection.

Well that was disappointing . I didnt expect much from the animation , so that was a low bar to start from anyway , but the writing also got worse ( not that i expected it to get better either ,but the last few eps were genuinely decent ).

The shounen power up was very cliche and lame . i really had to facepalm at that moment . i mean who even does that nowadays ? i dont know if even dbz is still utilizing that asspull technique...

takemitchy was just being takemitchy of course . Nothing more to say there .

And on the topic of the animation , it was definitely underwhelming . Also considering that this was the best staff this anime could have offered .
It was a step up from the past eps , but like i mentioned before , not exactly a high bar.
Overall , commendable effort , but very lacking . the consistency was non-existant . Some of the drawings were just plain bad .

For a series that is doing so well in sales , you expect much better . Producers definitely have a decision to make for the sequel seasons , if they are planning on any .

Oioioi, today we should be proud of Takemitchy c:

At this point if I don't get good explanations, I'm hating Kazutora, he hates Mickey for no reason and on top of that he doesn't even dare to face him alone against him >:c
its not no reason. He's the type to blame others for his mistakes so its no surprise that he blames mikey for him having to go to juvie since he was doing everything for mikey. Its like when people did something bad and they're like "i did this for you! How could you blame me for this?? And now im in trouble! You should take responsibility for this since if it wasn't for you i wouldn't have done it!" This kind of mindset.

Damn, if only Shinichiro was built like Mikey he'd still be alive. Draken and Mikey definitely not humans bro. Mikey got clapped by a pipe multiple times, but he still managed to knock out Kazutora while his leg was carrying a grown ass man. Kiryu and Majima would be proud, this the type of brawl you'd see in Yakuza lmao, it's great.

Even they acknowledge that Kazutora is batshit crazy, definitely something wrong in that head of his, maybe because of his upbringing. Pretty hype to see Takemitchy actually throwing them hands. He'll never be the best fighter, but he has potential to be a great leader, as long as he gets some confidence. Baji is nowhere to be seen though. Looking forward to the next episode.
