Here’s What Tokyo Revengers Season 2 Will Bring

Tokyo revengers season two will continue the story of the Christmas Showdown arc (also known as the Black Dragon arc). This arc will focus on the 10th generation Black Dragon Gang and will also mark the debut of many fan-favorite characters from the manga into the anime adaptation including the Shiba twins, Seishu Inui, and Hajime Kokonoi.

After getting himself back to the present day, Takemichi notices that Tokyo Manji Gang has now become a large-scale criminal organization. Hinata and her friends have been killed once more whereas Draken gets framed for a murder he didn’t commit. In the past, Takemichi gets to know how Hakkai Shiba is forced to leave the Tokyo Manji Gang and join the Black Dragons after being ordered by his abusive old brother, Taiju, the current leader of the Tokyo Manji. This incident turns out to help merge Tokyo Manji Hang with the Black Dragons.

In a deal with Mitsuya, Taiju allows Hakkai to unite by presenting a condition that the Shiba brother’s sister, Yuzuha, will no longer work for the Black Dragons, nor Taiju will be allowed to assault her. Tokyo Manji Gang also refuses to help Takemichi as Mitsuya will be affected badly if this agreement breaks. He and Chifuyu realize Hakkai’s plans of assassinating Taiju on December 24, 2005, and manage to get reluctant help from Kisaki and Hanma. But on the planned day when Takemichi confronts Taiju, the duo betray and abandon him.

In the original timeline, Yuzuha killed Takemichi after being persuaded by Kisaki, asking Hakkai to take the blame for her and follow her instructions. Hakkai is convinced by Takemichi to face Taiju and with the timely arrival of Miley and Draken, the Black Dragons are defeated. They get absorbed by the Tokyo Manji Gang and Mikey removes Kisaki from the group after learning of his betrayal. Okay! No more plot reveals for you guys!
