Editor's P/S
As a Gen Z fan of Tokyo Revengers, I am thrilled to see the latest developments in the Tenjiku Arc. The episode highlights Takemichi's unwavering determination and the unexpected return of Mikey, which brings a glimmer of hope to the Toman gang. The intense face-off between Mikey and Izana promises an exhilarating resolution to the conflict.
However, I am concerned about the emotional toll this arc is taking on Mikey. Despite his composed demeanor, it's clear that the loss of his sister has deeply affected him. I hope that Takemichi's presence and the support of his friends will help Mikey overcome his grief and find solace. Overall, this episode sets the stage for an epic showdown between Toman and Tenjiku, and I can't wait to see how Takemichi's time-leaping abilities will influence the outcome.
