not to complain about story since the whole anime is the biggest piece of bullshit ever

But is there a single reason for which Naoto not only remembers about time travels but he recalls all timelines while he himself never acutally got back in time? Like its not only that for some reasons he knows some stuffs, but he even remebers the timelines that technically never happend for him, ALL OF THEM, and that's just horrible writing.
Like the incosintency there is so massive that i wish the author would not try to pull weird gimmicks he himself is not aware in the slightest how they are supposed to work and just keep takemichi in one place for once, at this point why isnt everyone aware of every little change in every single timeline that happens? I guess not even Okarin's Reading Steiner could compete with Naoto's sheer schizophrenic multidensional brain on that matter and his massive balls and i wish the author would at least jack off on a livestream or something and make a bs explaination for Naoto, anything at all just give him a reason for it please, even "its just magic", i will gladly accept anything, just give him something at all instead of just bending the time space rules themselves for your lack of crativity and writting and cause you need a narrator and takemichi is a character too dumb for it.

Huh? I thought it was obvious why he remembers? The way time travel in Tokyo Revengers works is that it takes two people for it to happen. The 'traveler' and the 'trigger'. When they shake hands, the traveler goes back in time, while the trigger remains in the present. If any changes to the past change the present and a new timeline is entered, both the people involved in the time travel retain their memories from the previous timelines.

I'm not sure whether this has been explained in the anime yet but

But if you really care about the time travel being consistent and explained well, TR is probably not the show for you. The show's not about time travel, it just treats it as a plot device. If you like it being handled the way it is in shows like Steins;Gate and expect to see that here, you'll probably end up disappointed.

I swear, ya'll are the biggest crybabies, not even Takemicchi. If you hate it, stop watching it????🤨🤨🤨🤷‍♀️ There is a thread every week why Tokyo Revengers is bad. If people don't like it, why they keep watching it and making these annoying threads?

Also, Naoto is a detective. I don't think he remembers the timelines from the past. He knows the things because of the investigations and he most likely has connections because of his job. At least, that's what I got from the anime, I haven't read the manga.

Tbh i still dont understand why they even felt the need of time travel, there wouldve been way better way to tell the story, if they wanted a jump from point to point or just a motivation for takemichi's actions there wouldve been 1 million better things to do, the time travels in this anime feels almost pointless except for the the extra annoyance.

...

I'm pretty sure tokyo rev may been acutally decent if they cut out the time travel nonsense and just let the massively buff middle schoolers fight between each others and ride their probably not legally owned bikes.

Also i didnt expected anything like Steins;Gate, there a million ways to portray the mechanics and laws of time travel, but tokyo revengers time travel makes kinda no sense, at least in anime, if y'all right it may make more sense in manga or ln or whatever.

Takemichi have all informations of future and just decides to not do anything about it or even prepare himself for whats to come, a lot of times he even willinglly decides to make the same mistakes he knows he will do in future and knows they are a mistake.

THIS. THANK YOU.

People won't make the slightest effort to understand what's happening in the series, but they always have the biggest opinions to share, I swear. =-=

Hmm, I really just think it's not the show for you. If you don't like how the time travel is handled in the anime, you'll probably not like the manga either. And that's fine. No story could be universally liked and it's fine to have preferences.

For example, you call the time travel pointless and non-sensical, but it's one of my favorite aspects of the story. I genuinely would not like TR anywhere close to what I do if it was just middle schoolers being in gangs and nothing else. Imo, the time travel raises the stakes, and adds so much more desperation to the character's actions. It would make no sense for Takemitchy to still keep going even after he's beat if he didn't know that his perseverance could be the difference between Hina and his friends living or dying. It lets the characters develop in a way that wouldn't have been possible otherwise.

And I know that's not for everyone. I like how time travel in TR is simple and not explored much because the main focus of the story is Takemitchy's development and his relationships with the other characters, and going too much into explaining time travel would take away from that. And if you don't like that, that's completely valid, but that doesn't make the author bad. He wrote a story about the themes he wanted to convey, and I think he did a great job.



Takemitchy doesn't have all the information though. He only has what Naoto knows from police files and what little he gets to hear from the future characters. He always does the best he can with what he knows. If you have any particular instance you're talking about where he knowingly makes a mistake, then let me know, because I'm not sure what exactly you're talking about.

Btw not really related but if you like TR for the time travel gimmick i think you would love Erased, if you didnt watched it already, the synopsis is basically the same, the protagonist travels in time in middle school to stop a unknown serial killer from killing someone dear to him, though it have a lot less fights and more mc doing the detective work and trying to solve some problems in hope the future will change.
