The second season of Tokyo Revengers, the Holy Night Battle arc, will finally begin in January 2023! The first season ended with a shocking ending, and a new chapter began. The second season will focus on the Black Dragon team and Toman's second division vice captain, Shiba Hakkai. This time, we have compiled a list of key characters who will appear in the second season of the anime and those who will continue from the first season!
Character No. 1: Hanagaki Takemichi
The protagonist of our Tokyo Revengers. Using his time leap ability, he repeatedly time-leaps to save his lover Hinata, and even though he is worn out, he continues to fight unyieldingly. At the end of the first season of the anime, he becomes the captain of the First Division of Toman, replacing First Division's Keisuke Baji. As a result, in the future he visits, he becomes an executive of Toman, which has become a criminal organization, and is almost shot to death by Kisaki without even knowing why. What will be Takemichi's fate?
Character No. 2 Sano Manjiro/Mikey
One of the culprits behind Hinata's death and Toman becoming the worst criminal organization. That being said, although Mikey in the past was the strongest fighter and had overwhelming charisma, he is not the type of person who will become a great evil in the future. Mikey was a pure and innocent person who had the potential to either turn to evil or not. However, due to the secret machinations of Kisaki Tetta, Mikey has definitely become corrupted by evil up to this point. He has fewer scenes in the second season of the anime, but he is the man who gets the best parts. It is because of Mikey that Tokyo Liberation exists.
Character 3: Kisaki Tetta
He is the culprit who killed Hinata and led Mikey down the path of evil, and is Takemichi's greatest enemy. He is also the root cause of the tragedy in Tokyo Revengers, and most of the terrible future is his fault. However, his devilish brain and skills are so talented that it is hard to believe that he is a junior high school student, as he has responded to each situation and grasped the future he wanted, no matter how much Takemichi tries to change the future. In the second season of the anime, he unexpectedly joins forces with Takemichi! ? When will Kisaki betray Takemichi?! And keep an eye on Kisaki's actions after that!
Character 4: Mitsuya Takashi
Captain of the 2nd division of Tokyo Manji Gang and one of the founding members. He is actually the head of the handicraft club, and at the end of the first season of the anime, he gives Takemichi a handmade kamikaze suit, which gives him a surprising side to his situation, and his circumstances will be revealed in the second season of the anime. Second Division Vice Captain Shiba Hakkai is the biggest key person in the Christmas Battle Arc, and he has a deep relationship with Shiba Hakkai, and in the second season of the anime, he will be more deeply involved in the story than Mikey.
Character 5: Matsuno Chifuyu
He is the right-hand man of First Division Captain Baji Keisuke and serves as the vice captain of the First Division. He understands Baji's actions and tries to act for his power, but is unable to save Baji, and appoints Takemichi, who also struggled to save Baji, as the new captain of the First Division. From then on, he becomes Takemichi's partner from 12 years ago. At the end of the first season, he serves as a senior member of Tokyo Manji Gang and is a Judas connected to the police (Tachibana Naoto), waiting for an opportunity to put an end to Kisaki, but he is found out by Kisaki and shot dead. In the second season of the anime, he learns a secret about Takemichi, and from then on they fight together as the only partner who knows Takemichi's secret.
Character No. 5: Shiba Hakkai
A new character from the second season of the anime... strictly speaking, he appeared in the first season as well, and at the end of the first season, he was a bad-tempered executive of Touman. 12 years ago, he was the vice captain of Mitsuya's second division, and he admired Mitsuya, who he had known for a long time. He is the trigger and key person in the Christmas Battle Arc. Hakkai's departure from Touman due to a conflict with Shiba Taiju, the current leader of the motorcycle gang Black Dragon, leads to the worst future.
Character No. 6: Shiba Yuzuha
Hakkai's older sister. She has a good relationship with Hakkai and has supported each other throughout their lives. However, after her brother, Shiba Taiju, returned, she began to be subjected to violence, and while she was dominated by fear, Hakkai protected her. However, the reality seems to be different, and in reality... Her actions will determine Hakkai's future.
Character No. 7: Shiba Taiju
The older brother of Shiba Hakkai and Shiba Yuzuha. He revived the virtually annihilated phantom team, Kokuryu, with his overwhelming fighting ability and charisma, and reigns as the 10th president. It all begins with him using violence to control Hakkai and Yuzuha in the name of discipline, forcing Hakkai to leave Toman and bring him back. With Hakkai's withdrawal from Touman, there was no direct war with Touman, but in the future 12 years after the end of the first season of the anime, Hakkai has joined Touman as the head of Kokuryu, and Taiju is not there. Where on earth is he? The final boss in the Christmas Eve Battle arc.
Character No. 8: Inui Seimune
Vice-president of Kokuryu, nicknamed Inupi. He is childhood friends with Kui and is the dog of the dog-cat duo. The birthmark on the upper side of his face was caused when his family home burned down when he was in elementary school. After Kokuryu was crushed by Touman, he tried to revive Kokuryu again, but after Taiju showed him the overwhelming difference in strength in a fight, he pledged his loyalty to Taiju. At the end of the first season, Kokuryu has been absorbed into Touman and he is now in the position of an executive.
Character 9: Kui Hajime
Captain of Kokuryu's guards. The cat of the dog-cat duo. Although he pledges loyalty to Taiju along with Inui, he has a selfish personality, but he is also shrewd and vigilant, so much so that he found a traitor connected to Kisaki. However, behind the scenes, he tells Kisaki the time when Taiju will be alone for 100,000 yen. At the end of the first season, he is now one of the executives of Toman along with Inui.
[Tokyo Revengers] Summary of the main characters and new characters of the second season
I've put together a list of the main characters and new characters who will appear in the second season of Tokyo Revengers! I think the content of the Christmas Eve Battle arc will be around volumes 8 to 13 of the original work. It's likely that the third and fourth seasons will be made, and all the characters will be involved in the story, so there's a hot development where even enemies now become allies later, so it's a work to look forward to!
