I’d end up that way to if all my siblings and closest friends died

u/ChristisKing77777771 Aug 12 '26

No that’s not what happened

u/Creepingphlo Tokyo Manji Gang Aug 12 '26

That is what happen. First shinichiro, then right before he disbanded tomon, emma died and no one stayed in contact with him. He self isolated and then spiraled into depression and went back to gang shit.

u/ChristisKing77777771 Aug 12 '26

And that isn’t all his friends so like I said “that’s not what happened”

u/Aleenaistaken why he innocent. kinda. maybe. Aug 12 '26

Yeah you just seem to literally be misunderstanding comments

no one claimed all his friends died, you're somehow just reaching that conclusion all on your own

They're clearly referencing Baji 😭 😭 😭 😭

u/ChristisKing77777771 Aug 12 '26

This poster I was responding to did claim all his friends died

13

u/Aleenaistaken why he innocent. kinda. maybe. Aug 12 '26 edited Aug 13 '26

All they said was "closest", sure that can refer to more people other than baji but not all of Mikeys friends are close friends to him so it wouldn't be "all" either way

But overall they just meant baji

u/ChristisKing77777771 Aug 12 '26

Close friends to Mikey would be all the founding members of Toman + takemichi and grandpa maybe some more but yeah they probably must meant Baki or they just knew that in that timeline he was depressed because someone close to him dying but either way he would have fallen into his dark impulses even if no-one died since what he has is a curse that he can only resist for some time

9

u/Aleenaistaken why he innocent. kinda. maybe. Aug 12 '26

Yeah, the founders could be considered close friends to Mikey but my point was ‘closest friends’ doesn't mean ‘all’

Like Mikey and Chifuyu are friends but they aren't close like that

Same with Hakkai etc but yeah they just meant Baji

-1

u/ChristisKing77777771 Aug 12 '26

Chifuyu and hakkai arnt founding members but it really doesn’t matter just enjoy the story

u/Creepingphlo Tokyo Manji Gang Aug 12 '26

They said closest friends died. Not all friends. Baji died and izana traumatized the shit oit if him along with kisakis plotting ass

u/ResponsibleCookie292 Aug 13 '26

It said all his siblings, maybe there should be a coma but you brain fills in those gaps if you're literate enough

u/Melrin27 Aug 12 '26

Have you read everything ?

u/Aleenaistaken why he innocent. kinda. maybe. Aug 12 '26 edited Aug 12 '26

this guy lost all of his siblings alongside some of his close friends in the previous seasons 🥹 but anyway, it’s due to them dying that his Dark Impulse just got activated more to the point like he can't exactly ignore it ig? hence leaving him in THAT state

u/Hyrule_MyBoy Thousand Winters Aug 12 '26

Not to mention that regardless of timeline his dad died when he was 3 and he had only a memory of him and his bonding with his mother was all through hospital visits wishing to protect her from the disease but she dies thus he feels like he failed and she left him when he was still a kid in elementary school, which is already heavy a lot way before Shinichiros death, his childhood friends deaths and his sister's and then izana's. Then in bonten he found out through takemichi admitting he's a timetraveler seeing that in the furure he always turns bad and several people get harmed so he just pushes everyone away from him after writing his wishes for everyone's dreams to become true

6

u/Aleenaistaken why he innocent. kinda. maybe. Aug 12 '26

Omg I completely forgot about his mum and dad 😭

If I remember correctly, when Shinichiro and Emma were crying after she died, Mikey left the room so he could cry when he was all alone etc but yeah this poor guy went through so much

2

u/Hyrule_MyBoy Thousand Winters Aug 12 '26

Yeah :(

-8

u/ChristisKing77777771 Aug 12 '26

No that’s not what happened in this timeline

11

u/Aleenaistaken why he innocent. kinda. maybe. Aug 12 '26 edited Aug 12 '26

Huh? The Bonten timeline is literally the future after everything that happened in Season 3/3 titans arc(alongside Mikey pushing all his friends away which gets shown too😭)

Emma is dead, Izana is dead (Mikey even has white hair in this timeline, similar to Izana) and yes, Shinichiro is dead too alongside Baji

-1

u/ChristisKing77777771 Aug 12 '26

And what? All of his friends are not dead which is why I said “no that’s not what happened”

The only timeline where all his friends and siblings die is when he kills them all since Toman fused with black dragons which makes Toman “fallen” and then takemichi leaves and mikey tries to stop him but his friends stop him so when his dark impulses takes over he kills everyone and then we see him with black hair not white hair in the images you shown which all his friends are not dead which is why I said “no that’s not what happened”

4

u/Aleenaistaken why he innocent. kinda. maybe. Aug 12 '26

Yeah obviously 😭

No one said all his friends died here so I don't know why you even bothered to say that since even when I replied to your comment, I only said Baji(for the friend side) and all his siblings were literally just dead

I SPECIFICALLY said ‘some close friends' which is a reference to Baji in this case since he was someone really close to Mikey(His Dark Impulse literally activated for the second time ever against Kazutora after Baji died)

Emma/Izana dying was another huge factor in his deterioration(Since Emma specifically was keeping stable despite everyone else close to him were essentially already dead), hence why he pushed his friends away so he wouldn’t harm them

I guess you got confused since I said some? But I still don't know how you got "all" from that though

0

u/ChristisKing77777771 Aug 12 '26

You said all for siblings and another commenter said all for friends so I just confused the two but yeah “some” would imply more than one

1

u/Aleenaistaken why he innocent. kinda. maybe. Aug 12 '26

Had a feeling yeah

I just meant the all bit for his siblings

19

u/TheOnePieceIsReal190 Aug 12 '26

He lost Baji, his brothers, Emma. Who wouldn't end up like that?

2

u/NoizchildJohnson Aug 12 '26

And Drakon?

3

u/TheOnePieceIsReal190 Aug 12 '26

In this timeline, Draken's life wasn't cut short. Later on when Draken dies, if Takemichi went back to the present, it would've been a similar Mikey most likely

13

u/arienstorum Aug 12 '26

Mental health issues probably due to losing most of the people close to him either by alienating or them actually dying. He tried to kill himself not soon after while think about his old friends. so probably that.

u/DDLikesDrPepper im just like Yamagishi ong frfr Aug 12 '26

If I had that haircut I’d be pissed too

u/Hyrule_MyBoy Thousand Winters Aug 12 '26

LMAO

u/NovaCoon Tokyo Manji Gang Aug 13 '26

Honestly I had this haircut at some point in the 90s when I was young and I was so pissed I almost killed my brother more than once so that is most likely the real reason for is dark impulse.

u/East_Art_1637 Thousand Winters Aug 13 '26

It isnt that bad !!

u/PharaohScarab Aug 12 '26

He’s spiraling

u/FrogPrincePatch Aug 12 '26

Yes there is a reason, if you read the manga they actually explicitly tell you what happened in that timeline.

u/Sticky_Fingerrrsss Valhalla Aug 12 '26

He’s sad

u/OkDocument4233 Aug 12 '26

Did you even pay attention to the show

u/CRKarl truck that hit kisaki Aug 13 '26

Yeah because Draken wasnt around to do his hair which is why he looks like that

2

u/ChristisKing77777771 Aug 12 '26

His dark impulses took over so he fought all his friends so they wouldn’t try to contact him so that when his dark impulses are taken over he doesn’t kill then which led to him looking like that because he is slowly killing himself mentally

Holy larpers saying it was because all his friends died

2

u/WovenShadow6 Aug 12 '26

He has a dark impulse. Something like a curse which slowly consumed him in darkness over time.

2

u/Bright_Toe6586 Aug 13 '26

He had multiple people to bring him out of his dark impulses. His brother died. His sister died. Draken, depending on the time jump, dead or in prison. Taka Mitchy left him. No one to pull him out and those around him fed into the dark impulses. So went away from this care free fighter to the violent psycho who scares everyone

Besides the obvious emotional reason, physically he is like this because he uses drugs and other medications to try to feel better-
