Tokyo Revengers: Takemichi Determined To Change The Future For The People He Loves.

The first season of Tokyo Revengers comes to a close with some harsh losses but a new aim for Takemichi. The first arc of Tokyo Revengers comes to a close with Episode 12, leaving some unanswered concerns. During the episode, Takemichi thinks he’s succeeded in creating a future in which Hina is alive for a brutally brief moment, but nothing appears to go properly.

He’s lacking something in his time-travels that keeps him from rescuing Hina. Takemichi claims he hasn’t changed at all, but his most recent bold declaration reveals a renewed resolve that wasn’t present before.

Takemichi receives a call from Naoto at Akkun’s salon, offering to take him to see Hina. Takemichi is ecstatic to learn that his mission was successful and that Hina is still alive, but it’s been 12 years since they split up. Takemichi hasn’t changed in his own eyes despite accomplishing the impossible; he’s still a 26-year-old loser. He leaves before seeing Hina, embarrassed, but he runs into her on the way out.

Akkun’s truck bursts into flames after a fuse is dropped into the gas. Takemichi rushes over to Hina’s car, yanks the door open, and tells her to get out. He discovers she can’t, but it’s too late: the force of the impact had pushed her seat forward, impaling her middle and trapping her to her seat. She’s in a bind.

Takemichi can’t bear leaving Hina after seeing Akkun’s death for the second time, and he’s willing to die with her. He embraces her and admits that he has always loved her, whether in the past or in the future. It’s exactly what Hina needed to hear. She grabs Takemichi’s arm and tells him he needs to leave because she can’t stand to witness someone she cares about die. She shoves him away at the last
