Tenjho Tenge

UP: Full circle ending with Souichiro vs Mitsuomi. The fight is hype. Sets up the OVAs nicely. DOWN: The anime ends on a cliffhanger. Manga continues the story but anime stops here. Frustrating but expected for early 00s. 🌅

UP: BROTHER VS BROTHER FINALLY. The emotional weight is heavy. Mitsuomi stepping up is satisfying. DOWN: The fight is brutal and sad. No winners here. 😭

UP: Mitsuomi is HIM. Wiping the floor with 5 elite fighters in 3 minutes is cold af. The power scale is insane. DOWN: Makes everyone else look weak. Consequences of Shin fight hit hard after. 🥶

UP: Shin's Dragon Eye going berserk is TERRIFYING. Maya in danger raises stakes. The fight is chaotic af. DOWN: Kuzunoha running for help while everything burns is tense but sad. No one catching breaks. 💔

UP: More backstory! Shin forming the club adds layers. Mitsuomi persuading Maya to join is sweet. DOWN: Another flashback episode. Some might want present day action. Worth it for lore tho. 📜

UP: The sword hunt adds mystery. Maya and Mitsuomi teaming up is interesting. Aya being central to the plot finally. DOWN: Souichiro and Bob feel sidelined. Bunshichi's past stories are cool but slow the pace. ⚔️

UP: Back to present day! The new threat is interesting. Maya meeting the principal adds mystery. DOWN: Transition from past to present feels a bit jarring. Ryuusen is annoying tbh. 🤔

UP: The motorcycle race is COLD. Mitsuomi finally overcoming his fear is growth. The brotherly bond showing through the chaos is bittersweet. DOWN: You know Shin is slipping further. The good times feel temporary. 🏍️

UP: The fight conclusion is BRUTAL. Bunshichi giving everything he has and still not enough is tough. Shin's power is terrifying. DOWN: Watching Bunshichi get wrecked hurts. The hospital scene is sad af. 😔

UP: Mitsuomi being humanized is great writing. His fear of Shin feels real and earned. Bunshichi stepping up to fight Shin is BOLD. DOWN: The tragedy keeps building. You know it's gonna end badly and you can't look away. 💔

UP: Dougen is PURE EVIL. His manipulation of Shin for his own agenda is sick. The corruption arc intensifies. DOWN: Watching Shin lose himself bit by bit is painful. No one deserves this. 😈

UP: Mana dropping truth bombs about Shin's insanity changes everything. The curse of the Dragon's Eye is real. Young Mitsuomi trying to help is noble but sad. DOWN: Things get darker and darker. No comedy here, just tragedy. 😔

UP: The flashback arc STARTS and it's HEAVY. Shin, young Mitsuomi, Mana - the whole dynamic shifts. Maya's backstory is tragic af. DOWN: Present-day plot pauses for multiple episodes. Some might find the shift jarring. 📜

UP: Mitsuomi showing mercy (or disinterest) says a lot about his character. The gap between them is clear but Souichiro's resolve is strong. DOWN: No real closure here. Mitsuomi is on another level entirely. 🤔

UP: Aya finally does something! The Dragon's Eye awakening is creepy and cool. Her seeing glimpses of violence adds mystery. DOWN: The assault on her is uncomfortable to watch. Trigger warning heavy. 😬

UP: Brother vs brother hits different. Masataka standing up to Mitsuomi shows growth. The tournament format adds stakes. DOWN: Sagara is still a menace. Some fights feel rushed to fit episode length. ⚔️

UP: Mitsuomi is HIM. Watching him dismantle everyone without breaking a sweat is cold. The mystery of his connection to Maya starts building. DOWN: Souichiro and Bob getting wrecked again is rough. They can't catch a break. 😶‍🌫️

UP: Bowling alley brawl is ICONIC. The chaos of a casual hangout turning into a warzone is peak early 00s energy. Mitsuomi finally shows up and he's BUILT DIFFERENT. DOWN: The power gap between Mitsuomi and everyone else is almost unfair. Humble pie for days. 🎳
