As they struggle with each other, Kisaki recognizes Takemichi as a time-leaper, confirming suspicions. In a sudden mental flash, Takemichi envisions Kisaki's failed proposal to Hina. Kisaki, once seen as a prodigy, became infatuated with Hina but was overshadowed by Takemichi's qualities.
Kisaki carefully planned a ten-year strategy, involving Mikey as a crucial part in achieving his goal of becoming Japan's top delinquent and proposing to Hina.
Kisaki demands answers about Takemichi's time-leaping abilities and expresses possessiveness over Hina by pointing a gun at him. The confrontation escalates as Takemichi gains control of the gun and confronts Kisaki about the seriousness of his actions. Just as the situation reaches a critical point, Hina and Mikey arrive, giving Kisaki an opportunity to escape.
Takemichi continues to chase after Kisaki, who is adamant about starting anew but faces strong resistance from Takemichi. The pivotal moment comes when Kisaki, standing at a crosswalk, challenges Takemichi's belief in him being a time-traveler. Without a chance for explanation, a tragic incident occurs as a truck collides with Kisaki, causing severe injuries and agonizing screams.
Following Kisaki's unfortunate fate, the Kanto Incident comes to an end, resulting in the arrest of S-62 members and the acknowledgment of three deaths. The aftermath leaves the participants in a state of solemn contemplation.
Final thoughts
The next day, Takemichi pays a visit to Kakucho, who miraculously survived a gunshot, underscoring the downfall of Tenjiku's ambitions. Even with Kisaki's demise, Takemichi struggles with the emotional aftermath of seeing his rival's downfall, which continues to affect him deeply.
Episode 13 of Tokyo Revengers season 3 skillfully covered chapters 181-185, delivering an intense finale to the season. As the Bonten Arc, Three Deities Arc, and Kanto Manji Arc loom ahead, fans are eagerly awaiting the adaptation of at least two or three more seasons.
The continuation hinges on Liden Film's approach to animating these pivotal story arcs. However, the series' declining popularity may prevent a new season from being renewed at all.
Editor's P/S
As a passionate fan of the Tokyo Revengers series, I was eagerly anticipating the final confrontation between Takemichi and Kisaki in season 3 episode 13. The episode lived up to my expectations and delivered an intense and emotional conclusion to the Tenjiku arc. The fight between Takemichi and Kisaki was well-animated and showcased the growth of both characters. Takemichi's determination to protect his friends and change the future was inspiring, while Kisaki's descent into madness was both tragic and terrifying.
The reveal of Kisaki's true motivations and his ten-year plan to win Hina's heart was a shocking twist that added depth to his character. It was heartbreaking to see how his obsession with Hina and his desire to be the top delinquent led him down a dark path of manipulation and violence. Kisaki's death was a tragic end for a complex and well-developed villain, and it left a lasting impact on Takemichi and the other characters.
