| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- We got a background storytelling episode heavily focused on Toman's formation and Mikey's past. A very important episode imo. It's one of those episodes that really shows his early days with the other original members. Plus, it gives the audience an idea of how loyal and devoted its members were. Baji's character personality is also expressed really well though the storytelling imo. A bit of a sad episode too considering the events that happened leading to his death. |
 |
| I'm not crying. You're crying... I couldn't hold back my tears in this episode. T-T Seeing the background of these characters and how the Tokyo Manji Gang came into existence was really important. Giving more light on their friendship. Baji was the one who chose to make this gang and he was the only one who was fighting till the very end to keep the word on that day, "A gang where everyone would put their lives on the line for each other". If only you boys would've understood this sooner. Baji wouldn't have lost his life in this whole mess. RIP Baji and a really sad episode. |
 |
| IF ANYTHING, this episode is one of the most crucially important episodes ever in the history of Tokyo Revengers. The founding memhers of Toman (Mikey, Baji, Draken, Mitsuya, Kazutora and Pah-chin) having fun on their various Cubs at their prime of young age...truly an "One For All" gang to protect each other. But the naming from Mikey itself that was lame...the Tokyo Manjiro Gang aside, the camaraderie is one of brotherhood with the charm. And with Baji's loss, Toman itself was ridden of a man whose history stems alongside those of witness, and Kazutora wears it with admonishment on his shoulders for life. A TRULY SADDENING tragic end to the fight that's now known as the Bloody Halloween fight. Here's also where Chifuyu's backstory enters the reins of Toman, through Baji (who looks very different in disguise). Kinda a natural transition from one scene to the next, and it's no matter that Chifuyu would get involved in a lonewolf gang fight, so it's Toman's 1st Captain Baji to the rescue. That was quite the man-crush from Chifuyu to Baji, and paying respects from both him and Mikey, while Kazutora faces the music properly. A really well done episode full of emotions. |
 |
| Wow the Charm, it's all make sense now. I really like Chizuru and Baji backstory. What a sad tragic ending for their relationship. |
 |
| I love this episode! I'm happy with the adjustments they made. Baji and Chifuyu </3 |
  |
| I wasn't really too fond of this adaptation overall, but these episodes are hitting harder than the mango boyos. |

   |
| Much needed context episode, overall wasn't crazy or anything, but just gave a lot of weight to what we witnessed in the past episode and their dynamics are shown much better, making baji's demise that much worse. Goddamn |

| 12, 13 years old with motorbikes. Who knows what I was doing at that age 😂 This flashback just after what has happened has touched my heart (╥_╥) Well, Bloody Halloween is over, honestly Kazutora gives me 0 pity Noo, another flashback, they're going to flood my house :c Their first meeting was indeed very funny hahah. I reaffirm, Baji is one of the best characters so far |

| It's even more sad now to think that Baji is no more, after all the idea of creating this gang was his, and more suffering for Kazutora. We also got to see how Chifyuu and Baji got to know each other, and it was funny how Baji wasn't able to write tiger and Chifyuu was helping him. Even then there are many things that doesn't sit right with this show, but will see how they will conclude now in remaining two episodes. |

I know Toman boys age 12-13 are the best age for me, both story and physically. If I could I'll definitely find a way to save all of them by time-traveling to 2003. Mikey is such a flexible mind, at one time he can kill, at one time he can forgive the one who murder his big brother and his best friend. That's probably why he's the perfect leader. Baji and Chifuyu, what can I say more. Their relationship is so perfect that the only thing that can be improved is Chifuyu should feel upset a little bit when Baji write letter to someone, probably a love letter to a girl Baji interest. Correct, Kazutora was in Juvie at that moment. |

| This is one of the most important episodes in TR, a lot of background storytelling. The founding of TOMAN is probably one of the most beautiful moments I've seen, the fact that they had to put their money together to buy a charmwas just hilarious but wholesome at the same time. And that charm is what saved Mikey in this arc.. Chifuyu was the highlight of this episode, pretty obvious, the one that cared the most about Baji was none other than Chifuyu. A hardcore deliquent in the past, pretty strong back then. But his life changed the moment he met the ''nerdy'' Baji. Mikey forgave Kazutora in the end because that is what Baji wanted to do. A leader that can forgive someone like Kazutora is pretty much one hell of a good one. Next episode will be a light-hearted one. |
| “You yourself have to change first, or nothing will change for you!” ' |
| God damn I'm so fucking sad :((((((( Was crying like a bitch last time, crying more now since we get even an even better side of Baji. The backstory with Chifuyu god damn <3 :( Glad to see that Kazutora is taking responsibility for his actions this time. It's sad that he thought about killing himself, but I can't exactly blame him for feeling that way. Thankfully Mikey forgave him, that must've been hard to do for a man that killed his brother and friend. |
| You can be a beast while fighting, but the respect for your own mother is sacred. Draken for me is seriously the PR of Toman. |
 |
| I never thought chifuyu would be such a badass and baji is simple a goat, he gives everything he passed school, even for his mother. I forgive you and you still a toman member<3. |
P O S I T I V E V I B E Sシ  |
| Ok maybe there's still hope for this anime : ) |
| You'll be missed Baji.. what an epic guy he was. Kudos to the adaptation, I cared a lot for Baji even though he did not had that much screentime. Powerful portrayal. . |
 |
| Damn this episode provided some important context regarding Baji's significance to the founding of Toman along with how he and Chifuyu met and became such good friends. Once again RIP Baji, he really was a good dude. This one hit a lot harder after what just went down in last week's episode. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. |
| Now i miss baji.. after this nice episode. I did not read the manga, so i had no real connection with him bit this backround story was very good! |
| “Do what feels right in your heart. You will be criticized either way.” (Eleanor Roosevelt) |
| Damn this flashback had everything, I loved seeing how Toman formed and everyone bonding together. Baji and Chifuyu's meeting was amazing too, I love seeing how they were in the past and how they bonded over time. So Kazutora faces his own actions, I'm glad Mikey said he forgives him since Baji fought so hard to keep the gang together. Damn, Baji loved his friends so much. He kept the charm with him all this time, and everything he did was for his friends because he loved them so much. He deserved to have a happy life I'm in tears. This arc was fantastic, definitely my favorite thus far. |
mooshretar said: This episode was definitely one of the better episodes of the series. I caught myself looking like Takemichy during the nerd Baji and Chifuyu flashback. Now I want a Baji spin-off show because his character is just so dynamic. It's too bad the rest of Kazutora's backstory probably won't be animated. The story of how him and Baji first met was pretty fun. It would be nice if they made an OVA for it someday. |
| nice way to round off this arc (thank god it's over now). So sad seeing Baji's sacrifice but at least Kazutora seems to be planning to take a step in the right direction now. looks like charm-kun was the true hero |
 'On-Hold' is another way for a completionist to say 'Dropped' |
| wowowow loved the backstory and the dialogue in this episode also chifiyus old hair looked dope too tbh |
 |
| So now that the feels hit home and this arc is over, I'm guessing next week will be Takemitchy heading back to the present to see how the change of events (albeit subtle) has affected the future. Then the final episode leaving us on a cliffhanger for the next arc to either go read the manga or by some miracle, a confirmation of a second season? I don't know, but I feel like no one questioning the phone call during the fight is an aggravating point to miss. Nevertheless, it'll be interesting to see how this will end. |
| Don't believe the hype. |
| This episode was so sad! Rip Baji T^T |
 |
| So the end of the Bloody Halloween arc comes to a close with two flashbacks. The first one was the fateful day when Mikey and his friends meet at the temple and Baji came up with the idea of starting their own gang which end up leading to purchasing a charm that Baji kept for safe keeping. The second flashback was when Chifuyu meet Baji who was dressed like a nerd to hide his scary face. It didn't take long for the police to arrive at the scene of the fight so everybody had to scatter, but Kazutora decided to stay behind and take the fall for Baji's death. It was two weeks later that Mikey finally forgive Kazutora and mentioned that he was still apart of the Toman family as a founding member. |

Dude, anime boosted manga sales ridiculously high. Just wait for S2 announcement lol. >>> In 2021, Tokyo Revengers manga have sold more than 16,532,610 copies which is the Kodansha’s highest selling manga in 1 year. Amazing thing is that there are still 14 weeks left, so the number of copies is surely going to increase. Previously, Kodansha’s highest selling manga record was held by Attack on Titan, which sold 15,933,801 manga copies in 2013. |
| Interesting, lot of expected flashbacks this episode, to eventually come back to the present (well not completely, but next episode should definitely be in the current timeline). I'm wondering how things will be, with Kazutora alive this time. |
