Tokyo Revengers: Christmas Showdown

Taiji Shiba is best boy. Fine.

Another day, another new antagonist gang is introduced. And, a familiar face returns, unfortunately. We're left at a cliffhanger that would be continued on in the next season, so I can't wait for that. Toman, be strong! We're rooting for you!

Wow. Naoto was right, this is the worst one yet. I had always found his eyes so eerie and unsettling, as it was very different from all the other characters. There was something missing, the light. And for the first time ever, I got to see it, even if it was for a split second. Takemichi, pack it up. It's time to back, pronto.

Congrats, Takemichi. Once again, our underdog has done it again. I really do have to say, I'm so proud of Takemichi for his efforts this time around. He truly was the hero. But y'all, don't forget, we do have 2 eps more....I wonder what will happen in the future.

This episode is like the rainbow after a really heavy storm. I found myself smiling throughout the entire episode. Luna and Mana are adorable! I hope this heartwarming feeling inside my heart continues on for the rest of the remaining episodes.

It truly is a Christmas miracle. The Shiba family dynamics seem to have improved as well. This truly goes to show that grief can be the cause of something terrible, and that we should all seek the help we need to overcome our losses. Do talk to people around you, as you never know how this grief can change you and make you become your loved ones' enemy. But do tell me, since this is all over, why do we have 4 episodes more left...

YASSS TAKEMITCHY LESGOOOO!! FINALLY MY BRO HAS DONE SOMETHING MC-LIKE. AND HAKKAI TOO? LESFREAKING GOO. ON a side note, I really love Yuzuha's character. As an older sister myself, I understand and resonate with her protective sense. AND THE ENDING?!? Is there finally hope?

Thank God for Chifuyu's big brains. I think everyone should know that if you make a plan, you should most definitely have a backup one as well. Crisis management, everyone! For now, all I'm hoping for is the best.

I just want to say, I knew it. I KNEW IT! What were we expecting? Bro thought he would be able to purely talk no jutsu his way out of a situation with a guy like that. It's been 2 seasons Takemichi, can we please learn how to at least throw a punch? That being said, I did not know Taiju was a Frieza fan (iykyk) P.S. They had the chance to name this episode 'Season's Beatings' but they didn't. Sad.

This episode broke my heart :')) I understand both sides completely, and it is in the best interest for all parties involved, but it still got me bawling my eyes out. I hope the plan works out, though I somehow do have a bad feeling about it...

What an interesting turn of events. We finally get a somewhat solid plan to secure the future, but can this really work out? Can't wait to see Takemichi's decision!

First off, Chifuyu <33 On a side note, Takemichi might be super weak, but he sure as heck is resilient. No one else but him could go through all this successfully, I'm not gonna lie. Keep it up, our underdog!

This episode gives us a little intro on the Black Dragon, as well as the second division of the Tokyo Manji gang. It starts of super fun, and then comes reality. Really excited to know more about the Shiba family lore!

A good introduction to the new season by focusing on the new gang and how they are linked to existing characters. Can’t wait to see how they use this in the next season.

Probably one of the most heartbreaking episodes of this season. The whole scene between Mikey and Takemichi encapsulates both of their desperation for a better future.

The way that Toman stays loyal to its members, even when a truce is broken, shows why Takemichi mission is so important. Mikey’s gift to Takemichi solidifies their friendship and his place within the inner group of the gang.

Seeing Takemichi’s mission of saving Hinata directly impact his relationship with her as a teenager feels heartbreaking. How their friends rally around them to help fix their relationship is heartbreaking, making his mission mean so much more. Seeing Draken’s and Mitsuya’s beginning of their relationship was sweet.

Mikey’s declining mental state and how much everyone is concerned with how it will change Toman is clear, creating tension for whether Takemichi will fulfil his wish of a better future. A glimpse at Kokonoi and Inui’s past tries to humanise them as characters.

Intense, heartwrenching fights where you can feel Takemichi’s desperation to win, not just for himself, but for his friends too. The weight of Takemichi’s ability and keeping everyone safe is showing. The Shiba family dynamics and secrets are heartbreaking.

The comparison between Mitsuya, someone who can find contentment in the basics, as he isn’t fortunate in life, compared to Taijou, who has all the opportunities and new content, is a powerful message. The plot twist was intense.
