Oh Draken...fighting at an inch of his life after that stabbing. Takemichi took the liberty to help him no matter what deserves respect.

You can literally feel the level of despair from this episode but Takemichi represents a source of hope. He just doesn't give up on his friend and honestly, Takemichi's courage really showed this episode.

Oh boy... and I thought the previous episode was great. This episode took Takemichi's character development to another level. Takemichi got so much respect in my eyes in this episode just by standing against someone like Kiyomasa by himself in order to protect that he absolutely must. Mikey and the gang are still fighting Moebius back in the parking lot for now.

And, then his friends coming over to protect those two even though they knew they had no chance of beating those bastards but still they managed to buy them time. Huge respect for Takemichi and the boys and I'm glad that Draken is not dead at least yet. I hope everyone gets out safe and sound from there. Seriously, what an episode. Takemichi really beat Kiyomasa finally. Great going boy.

ikr.... this is like my most favorite episode in this series as of now.... The true meaning of encouraging and trusting your friend even though you know its impossible for him to win is one of the most beautiful thing this episode has shown.

I'm wondering if I'm witnessing the birth of what will become the strongest and most powerful delinquent, that is Takemichi himself. I think when the weak give it all is more respect than the strong give it all. If Takemichi prove himself to give 100% of his might when he's weak, then he'll have no problem doing the same thing when he's strong, and he'll become a tour de force that will gain admiration from everyone in everywhere.

PSA: IF SOMEONE GET'S STABBED DO NOT REMOVED THE KNIFE, YOU'LL PROBABLY HAEMORRHAGE TO DEATH AND IT WON'T BE FUN. With that out of the way lets get into my review shall we lol.

Draken is still hanging on by a thread, shows the true delinquent power running through his veins. Takemichi carrying draken was kinda cool, but to be honest from a medical perspective this episode was a mess, like there was no pressure applied to the wound etc but it's anime I guess lol. Surprise surprise, kiyomasa is back to finish the job and bakamichi want's to run away.

Honestly, this episode was definitely the redemption of takemichi through and through, from a wimpy wannabe delinquent to someone who can stand up to a legit murderer - kiyomasa wanted to kill draken so yeah - the change is drastic and it shows how a few words - those from both hina and draken - and the knowledge of how powerful your regrets will go can change your perspective on things. Half-expected kiyomasa to pull out the knife, but wouldn't have guess it was the first move, thought it'd be like a desperate finisher instead so that caught me off guard.

The entire fight was spectacular though, seeing the wimpy takemichi holding on for dear life choking kiyomasa out and really goes to show how much his resolve has changed. The whole charade with the bets was ironically funny though, it was pretty much to egg on kiyomasa but I found it funny that they would make money during a shaky time, just how a true crypto millionare would eh - BUY THE DIP BUY THE DIP (I'm being sarcastic lol)..

When akkun and these lot jumped in my heart jumped a few beats, honestly thought they'd lose and they did but still, the stupid poses, the quotes and the fact they mirrored takemichi's resolve was perfect. Seem like the ambulance came just in time or is it the police, idk but they probably will scram from what takemichi said. Hopefully draken doesnt kick the bucket, since that would lead to a whole new world of complciations. Tokyo revengers really turning it up a notch and like McDonalds, I'm loving it.

Brooo we’ve gotta start talking about how gas Tokyo Revengers is . This episode was amazing. Takemitchy‘s development was on full display today. Standing up to everyone, weakened, bloodied and with no shot, his refusal to backdown was amazing. He also motivated Kiyomasa and co which saved the day at the end. Every episode I’m more and more impressed by him. Def not the usual shōnen mc.

It's an anime anyways, takemichi is protected by plot armour lol, it was more a statement to people who might find themselves in a bad situation and think back to that scene but yeah your point does make sense, maybe he could have used the knife as a knuckle buster xD!

The unfortunate eventual Toman vs. Moebius night that got Draken stabbed by Kiyomasa, the event that Takemichi was trying to rewrite history by going to the past, had happened.

He failed in protecting Draken, but at least until that point, he is still alive and worth saving. Takemichi must make the decision of life and death to save Draken from dying so that history can still be rewritten. That is, until the Kiyomasa faction caught up onto Takemichi, the injured Draken and the girls, and aside from the past trauma faced just moments at the festival, he decides not to be a dick who runs away from problems, and use his time-traveling 2nd chance to make things right.

Emma, Hina and Draken giving Takemichi confidence to exact his revenge while being played by Kiyomasa, plus the parallels of his past life's failure of unable to be like Mikey, Takemichy faces his own weak self as a nemesis, all while keeping Kiyomasa at bay with a stranglehold. WHAT A GUY to take his long-deserved revenge.

Both Draken and Takemichi looked like they are about to wear out, but the emergence of Akkun and the Mizo Middle 5 at the final moment is sublime. No time to regret about past mistakes, it's time to fight back and win.

Every episode I'm holding out my breath, and this experience of gang revenge only gets better the deeper this revenge game goes. Great, great, great episode nonetheless.

Mikey's fight with Hanma and his third rate goons was satisfying to watch both animation wise and because their faces were screaming "beat my pathetic ass up"

Takemichi's determination and courage was on point, and i liked that he didn't win by "plot power" meaning that he didn't win by hitting kyomasa in the face and etc, but rather by "less traditional manly ways" (biting and rear naked choking).

The atmosphere when Tachibana and Emma was crying was real too.

Great episode for sure!

Man, this is just a blast!

Takemitchy’s revenge was incredible, glad he finally managed to redeem himself here. Definitely shouldn’t take out the knife though, lol. I’m really curious how he managed to crawl up To Kiyomasa’s neck but well, let’s keep that for later.

Good to see that Ken-san seems a little better now and with the ambulance right around the corner, here’s to hoping there’ll be no surprises next episode.

Epic episode.

Mikey vs Moebius's new leader was pretty hype. He seems to be the only one who can actually trade blows with Mikey.

The highlight was definitely the entirety of the sequence with Takemitchy and Kiyomasa. Absolutely epic and emotional at the same time, Takemitchy finding his resolve against an monstrously stronger opponent. Vowing to never make his mistakes twice, standing out of pure spirit, never backing down and getting his 'revenge' on his life by taking out Kiyomasa. All of Takemitchy's actions in the past helped Akkun realize that there are times you never back down. This is it, this is the essence, this is why I love Shounen. So much heart. <3

This is the start of Takemichi's life of a badass, strong deliquent.. The character dev. was amazing. Takemichi was their only hope to survive that battle. And he did it! He beat down Kiyomasa. Takemichi's squad came to rescue him. Let's see how this will play out.
Everything was really good, great episode.

About time Takemichi won a fight. Doesn't matter how strong your opponent is. If you can put your opponent in a sleeper hold, they will go down easy just like Kiyomasa who just went night night. The ambulance finally arrived, but it might be too late for Draken because he lost a lot of blood.

Was a good episode even with the DBZ like flashback, that took 4 minutes.

Police is like a legendary creature that just appear out of nowhere. You can have a full brawl, scream your lungs out, can have long conversation about kill or be killed. And probably next episode if you are alive, they appear and say "We saved you, you are welcome, and you are under arrest. Because our slow response".

Im proud of Takemitchy and his character development, In the past few episodes i feel like it really sunk in for Takemitchy that Draken and Mikey are his friends, i feel like he didn't believe it the first time Mikey called him his friend. I also got so hyped when Akkun and the others showed up, they knew they wouldn't win yet they fought inspired by Takemitchy's previous fight with Kiyomasa. I love that Takemitchy is aware of what he needs to do to better himself and at first it takes a while but slowly he's fixing his flaws, it makes his character more relatable as nobody is perfect and no one can automatically fix what they dont like about themselves. Sorry if they're any typos I have a bandage wrapped around my thumb and its really hard to type.

Why did they cut out the animation of Takemichi going from biting Kiyomasa to putting him in a choke hold? They showed us the raining sky for like 5 seconds then suddenly switched to him switching positions. It was so weird. Was there something to hide/censor in that scene??

Hahaha... Don't get me wrong, I'm enjoying this show really much, but I can't help but laugh at how ridiculous some events in stories such as these are.
At the end, Takemitchy confidently says "we have won", while his foe is all shocked and amazed and apparently defeated!
Why would you look so shocked though?!
Your friend stabbed a guy who's nearly dead. He stabbed another and was willing to kill both Draken and MC moments ago!
After this guy failed, you wanted to finish his job and stab 2 wounded guys to death in cold blood!
BUT
Once witnessing MC's and his friends "never give up" spirit, and the power of "true friendship" you suddenly start questioning your life decisions, start admiring your enemy, start thinking about morals and honour despite having none beforehand whatsoever???
Ridiculous! xD
It's too late for that. You can't expect a sane person to believe that a guy who was about to commit double murder, had a change of heart after some heroism from his enemy!!!
Without convenient plot armour such as this, MC,his buddies, and Draken would be slaughtered in less than 3 minutes and the evil gang would be on their way back home, before the ambulance even appeared on the horizon. The end.

Ngl, I loved this episode to bits, seeing all the characters developing their personalities and polishing their emotions, and Takemitchy's determination was kind of cool and nice.

But like other people have pointed out, the situations they are put in all the time and the fight against Kyomasa where Takemitchy bit him and was getting punched in the back and then the scene abruptly hides the way Takemitchy climbed Kyomasa to have him in a chokehold, are kind of ridiculous...

I even have an easy solution for those 2 seconds that they have hidden. Make Takemitchy bite Kyomasa while Kyomasa hits HIM, and then Takemitchy hits Kyo in the gut, while he touches his stomach from the punch, Takemitchy quickly climbs his back and chokes him... There. That would've been cooler than showing one big dude fighting against a small fry and then after 2 seconds, the small kid somehow has the big guy in a chokehold..

But anyway, I can ignore this stuff for the sake of the other qualities that this show has, so it's all good.

Ha, right back at Kiyomasa, the revenge is so sweet! Now I wonder if he is just knocked out or simply...dead o_o However, I am really proud over Takemichi and his friends coming to the rescue, it's not about physical strength, but mental strength, apparently, Kiyomasa and his knuckleheads to buddies don't have that.

Glad to see Draken alive and well (soon enough) But he literally signed on his death certificate when he stood back and prepared himself to fight alongside with Takemichi.

But honestly, when Takemichi said "they won the war", I literally thought of "we lost the battle, but won the war."

Good episode! Man I feel bad for Mikey when he's so worried about Draken, fuckin Hanma can't give him a break. The fighting choreography was actually pretty good though, glad to see the studio adding some fights not included in the manga. And here comes Takemichi's character development! Glad to see him win in a more realistic way, kicking Kiyomasa in the nuts would've been a good option but a chokehold isn't bad either. And Hinata was smart in calling an ambulance and back-up for Takemichi! Thank goodness.

The censoring was really weird this episode though, especially the part when they cut to the rain instead of Takemichi sneaking behind Kiyomasa's back to get him into the chokehold. Glad I watched the uncensored version first, but wtf? Those who didn't would be confused af.
