The Tokyo Revengers anime is back with a new key visual and trailer for its Christmas Showdown arc. This second season of the time-traveling biker gang series is set to premiere on Disney+ this January.
The Christmas Showdown arc will feature new foes like the Black Dragons and the internal conflict within Toman at Christmastime. Kisaki and Hanma will try to use this conflict to their advantage, while Takemichi and Chifuyu will have to prevent this from happening at all costs.
Takemichi and Chifuyu
Takemichi is one of Tokyo Revengers’ most popular characters. He has a unique ability to time travel.
However, his ability is not something he can control on his own. Rather, he needs to be able to use his skills in the presence of others in order to travel between timelines.
Luckily, he has a few people who can help him out.
The first person to help him out is Hinata Tachibana’s younger brother, Naoto. He’s a detective who helps Takemichi understand the importance of using his time jumping abilities.
He also helped Takemichi plan out his mission to save Hinata from the Tokyo Manji gang. While he’s not always easy to deal with, he’s always there for Takemichi and is willing to work alongside him on his journey.
Kazutora
Tokyo Revengers is an anime that debuted in April 2021 and aired for 24 episodes before it ended its first season. The series is based on the manga of the same name by Wakui Keni, which has sold over 70 million copies.
After Takemichi time-leaped back twelve years into his middle school days, he found that the Tokyo Manji Gang killed his girlfriend Hinata Tachibana. He also learned that Mikey held a grudge against Kazutora for killing Shinichiro two years ago.
In the future timeline, Takemichi became a top-ranking executive at Toman but he still had a lot of issues. Moreover, Mikey was no longer the leader of Toman and Kisaki was acting commander instead.
Mitsuya
Tokyo Manji Gang Second Division Captain Takashi Mitsuya has been a popular character among gang members thanks to his strong fighting skills and authority. He is also a pacifist, preferring not to start fights but will not hesitate to break limbs to protect those he loves.
Besides his physical strength, he has an excellent mental fortitude and possesses the ability to stay focused in intense situations. This trait is a major reason why Mitsuya has earned such a high rank within the Toman gang.
In the Tokyo Revengers anime, Mitsuya has been shown to have two very successful battles against Taiju Shiba, a leader of the 10th generation Black Dragon gang. Unfortunately, these fights were interrupted by others.
Hakkai Shiba
Hakkai Shiba, Tokyo Manji’s second division vice-captain is a character many fans of Bleach have gotten to know. He started out as a violent thug like Chad, but learned from Mitsuya that fighting for others is more meaningful than beating up strangers.
He also learned that defending his friends is more important than fighting for himself, and that’s why he made his friendship with Takemichi his priority.
Ultimately, he was able to change his perspective and develop a more benevolent side of himself, much to the surprise of his family.
In the upcoming episode of Tokyo Revengers, the Christmas Showdown, Hakkai decides to confront his brother and leader of the Black Dragons Taiju Shiba. This decision could have a huge impact on the story, as it will likely force Hakkai to revert back to his violent past and rely on his brute strength to kill his brother on Christmas Day.
Taiju Shiba
Taiju Shiba is a strong fighter in Tokyo Revengers, and he has the ability to knock out Manjiro Sano with a single punch. He also shrugged off a knife stab wound and went on to fight several enemies.
He has a prideful nature and believes that no one can surpass his fighting abilities. He even trained the 10th generation Black Dragon gang to completely reform it into an army.
His brothers Hakkai and Yuzuha have a lot of respect for him, but Taiju is also brutal toward them. He beats them up for seemingly insignificant reasons, like oversleeping, or simply when he feels that they do not live up to his expectations.
He is a violent tyrant, who enjoys tormenting people for pleasure. He has no care for others or their wellbeing, including his own siblings. He enjoys tormenting girls and women for their own pleasure as well, and he has no boundaries when it comes to this.
