Since its debut, the manga has inspired several anime adaptations.
The first season premiered in April 2021, followed by the second season in January 2023, and the third in October 2023.
All the adaptations were produced by LIDENFILMS, maintaining a consistent quality and style that fans have come to love.
Announcement Details and Initial Reactions
The announcement of the Tokyo Revengers anime sequel featured a captivating visual of the protagonist, Takemitchy, holding Mikey, a key character in the series.
The accompanying tweet stated, “TV anime ‘Tokyo Revengers.’ A sequel is in the works! The sequel production key visual has also been released!”
In addition to the tweet, an announcement video was released, beginning with a heart-wrenching scene where Hina dies in a car accident orchestrated by Kisaki Tetta.
This tragic moment was pivotal in the series, as it motivated Takemitchy to vow to save her by altering the timeline.
The video also revisited Takemitchy’s journey from the first episode, with the opening theme, “Cry Baby” by Official HIGE DANDISM, playing in the background.
It concluded with an emotional plea from Mikey, asking Takemitchy to save him, echoing the visual from the announcement tweet.
Speculations on the Sequel’s Format and Content
The announcement left fans speculating about the format of the upcoming sequel. It was unclear whether it would be a TV series, a movie, or an OVA series.
However, it is expected to cover either the next arc or the subsequent two arcs from the manga.
Possible Story Arcs
- Bonten Arc: Following the Tenjiku arc adapted in the last season (season 3), the Bonten arc is the next in line, consisting of 21 chapters. This arc delves into darker and more complex themes, with Takemitchy facing new challenges.
- Three Deities Arc: With 29 chapters, this arc introduces new characters and intensifies the plot, setting the stage for the final showdown.
- Kanto Manji Arc: Comprising 43 chapters, this is the grand finale of the series, bringing all storylines and character arcs to a climactic conclusion.
