I’m still nowhere near ready to commit on Tokyo Revengers this season (it is in the Patron Poll for the record, so it’s got two bites of the apple). Last week’s ep was my favorite in a good while, but this one was kind of back in the murky middle. Not bad or anything, but it had a more of the same feel to it – that “Groundhog Day” effect TMR is prone to exhibiting. Stuff repeating itself is part of the deal here, to the point where the narrative itself acknowledges it from time to time.
First thing Takemitchy does after going back to the past? Seek out Naoko and try to go back to the present. You know, where he’s bleeding to death on the pavement. I’m struggling to find a way that makes sense, even for Takemitchy. But setting that aside the headline is that he can’t, for obvious reasons. Whether this means Naoto is permanently gone – an immovable event – I don’t know. Naoko must be convinced Takemitchy is absolutely nuts at this point, the way he acts around him. As an afterthought we get Takemitchy accidentally revealing his whole truth to Hina, who seems to pretty much believe it for some reason.
At least this interaction snaps Takemitchy out of trying to get back to the present, and soon enough he and Doraken wind up at Mikey’s house. We learn that Mikey still carries a security towel, for starters, and that he has massive bedhead. And by the way, that he and Izana are half-brothers – this info we get courtest of Emma, who reminds Mikey that she and Izana are siblings. I find it hard to believe Mikey wouldn’t know that, but you can’t ask questions like those with Tokyo Revengers. The whole Tenjiku thing, then, seems to be a jealous snit by Izana – jealous that Mikey got the family he never got (not to mention that Shinichiro intended to leave Black Dragon to Mikey.
After that, a guy (nick)named Mucho (who I don’t think we’ve seen before) shows up at Takemitchy’s place with his crew in Toman uniforms and beats the crap out of Takemitchy (Groundhog Day). The latter then wakes up in a garage somewhere, where Mucho has also apparently kidnapped Inui and Koko (who to be honest I barely remember). Maybe this is supposed to imply that Mucho is the traitor Kaku-chan referred to – though why Takemitchy would trust the one of a childhood friend who just shot him is another one of those bits that don’t quite make sense.
