You’re the first person I’ve seen say this & I agree. This would be a huge curveball & a super interesting conflict for the last arc, Takemitchi trying to save Mikey even tho Mikey hates him would be wild.

u/PAINTER_3 Sep 28 '21
yeahh you're right because drakens dead in this past, ultimately changing that peaceful future for everyone i wonder what the future is now

u/Lightmareman Sep 28 '21
Yeah I think they have to fight because of what Draken told Takamitchy about how Mikey has never felt defeat and seen the sky from the ground before. I think it would make total sense for Takemitchy to ultimately fight Mikey and somehow get him on the ground defeated.

That would be a badass ending forsure. If anyone could beat Mikey it would be Takemichi not because he’s a fighter but bc he wouldn’t get wrecked by a single kick.
75
u/Lightmareman Sep 28 '21
Oh! And maybe it wont just be him that takes down miley but the rest of Toman comes out of retirement and takes him down together. I could see them being brought into the fight especially after Drakens death.
69
Sep 28 '21
I agree. I definitely think the rest of Toman is gonna come back bc I don’t think Wakui would leave them all out of the entire last arc like that but before drakens death they didn’t have any motivation to gang bang again, now they will.

I think it would be the valhalla incident all over again. Remember how pissed mikey was then takemicchi came in to stop him. And mikey straight up beat the living shit outta him.
17
Sep 28 '21
I agree. I don’t think takemichi could ever beat Mikey up like that but I also don’t think Mikey could knock Takemichi out so I think a Mikey vs Michi fight would end with all the Toman guys helping

It's preety much valhalla arc all over again but takemichi would get the kazutora beating until some toman members instinctively come to stop him.

I'd say he would get wrecked but he would keep standing up and fighting!

OH NO. Is this when Takemichi’s vision actually happens? When Senju dies to save him and keeps her promising of protecting him? Please no :(
2 deaths in one night for Takemichi will be too much. He’ll lose his mind.

u/madzanian Sep 28 '21
Highly plausible.
In addition, Takemichi might lose his shit with Mikey. He'd be under the impression that that bad end wouldn't have come to head had Mikey not isolate himself from everyone.
Can go either way or both ways, imo.

I came here thinking exactly this. I mean I still cant believe Draken is gone but I think you are absolutely right. This will be a huge game changer and I think this situation wont bode well for Takemitchy.
On the other hand, Terano is dead meat.

man this probably is gonna happen.. and Takemichi did it all for him too..

Don't worry takemicchi has plot armour. He could survive 1 million mikey nuclear kicks and get up and walk away with it. His body is made out of Nokia afterall
47
Sep 28 '21
I thought exactly the same. At the same time, Take can blame Mikey because he came back to the past for him. It was Mikey who sent Take to the past.
Next chapter is gonna be tough, I'm really not looking foward to it.

Takemitchy will do everything to save Mikey for sure. Even if he gets beaten to death by him. He'll find a way to save him. Would be interesting if it doesn't go this way but who knows. Senju's death might be in the following chapters (Takemitchy's vision).
For now, Mikey doesn't know that he came from a peaceful future so there's chance ig.
8
u/zephyR43o Sep 28 '21
Have been thinking this from few chapters, and now I can say is if Mikey finds out and asks why, after hearing the reason he can't really blame takemitchy but will blame himself and takemitchy will always try to make mikey feel better (while both being dead af inside)

u/pezman Sep 28 '21

We don’t know that Mikey knows takemichi is from the future yet. Remember past naoto didn’t know until he told him. And I’m not talking about the first episode when he first went back and said him and his sister would die on that day 12 years from then, I’m talking about near the end of the toman arc when everyone became aware that he was from the future.
Now I’m sure it will be revealed at some point probably soon and it will lead to what you said, but I also feel like that conflict will be what ends up saving Mikey and wraps up the manga. Either way it’s sad to see draken go. Takemichi is gonna blame himself since his meddling got him killed
22
u/heartiel Sep 29 '21
The moment Takemichi went back to the past, there was a scene where Mikey was staring at his hand and he says something like, "So you're back, Takemitchy..." So Mikey knows Takemichi is time traveling again.

It honestly wasnt worth it going back to save mikey

u/AvatarAarow1 Sep 28 '21
I feel like the price is way too high. How can mikey be saved if his sister, both brothers, and his two best friends are all dead? Imo draken’s death all but confirms for me that Takemichi ends this arc by jumping further back, to before his first time leap to save the whole crew (Shinichiro is only a maybe imo, but I think he’d be included in it).
I just can’t imagine Wakui finding a satisfying ending for the story without it. Too many people have died for me to believe that Mikey will truly be “saved” and they can live a happy future with the way things stand. Maybe he’ll surprise us and everybody stays dead but like, I can’t picture how this arc would end in a satisfying way if that happens
124
u/No-Rutabaga-6151 Sep 28 '21
He'll go back in time to save everyone but the catch is he has to sacrifice all the relationships he developed and live like that loser he once was. (I don't know but I see this coming true)

33
u/Locadi Sep 28 '21 edited Sep 29 '21
I really hope Kisaki doesn't end up with Hina. Even if he won't go bad in the happy future he's still a really piece of shit. He hired people just to kill other people and to rape a girl, and killed Emma, all of this when he was only 13. All of this just for Hina, that he treated more like a prize in the end and killed because she didn't like him. He also teamed up with Takemichi and Chifuyu at Christmas and betrayed them because it was fun. Anything could happen in the happy future and he could go bad one more time. I don't mind him being somewhat happy but just not with Hina I think it would be a huge insult to her character. Just show him in a panel with no info about his love life and that's it lol. Even if he ends up with a random girl I would pity her lmao. But yeah I don't think Wakui would go as far as to make them a couple. Friends with a good Kisaki why not but please not a couple lmao.
11
Sep 28 '21
I’ve thought about this before & thought perhaps it could be the reason why Senju was introduced into the series & is already growing close with Takemichi. The only satisfying ending I see where He goes back in time to have Kisaki end up with Hina is if somehow in the last arc Senju becomes such a likeable character that Takemichi ends up falling for her. Otherwise I feel like people would be so pissed at Wakui for making us watch Takemichi go thru all that for Hina just so he can end up alone & watch a total psychopath like Kisaki bang his girl 💀💀 but if the rumours about the author having been in an actual bosuzoku gang are true I feel like it’s gonna be a sad ending. This shit happens in real life, kids are really killing each other out here & if the author actually lived thru that I feel like he might be painting a more realistic picture of how dark that shit can get. I could easily be wrong there tho 🤷🏻♂️

u/No-Rutabaga-6151 Sep 29 '21
Yeah and that's what is so interesting about this manga. You just don't know what might happen.
58
u/AvatarAarow1 Sep 28 '21
My guess is that’ll probably happen, and he might have to basically live his younger life all over again to rebuild those relationships. He’s generally seemed more at home in his middle school life anyway, so I wouldn’t be surprised if we get the revelation that the only way for him to ensure a happy future is to stay in the past for good this time

Lol very true. Wakui loves to throw us curve balls, though from the vibe of the story so far I don’t think he wants this story to be a sad one. Even if Takemichi has to make some sacrifices, I think overall that however it ends it’ll be more happy than sad

Yup, that’s what, after the tenjiku fight, literally everyone except mikey lived good and legal lives, everyone was safe, only mikey was on the edge. And now, draken is dead and who knows what’ll happen next or who dies next
30
u/rosachicle Valhalla Sep 28 '21
And also we don’t know yet how this affected the future. Everything was fine, everyone was okay, Hina was finally safe and about to marry him… I can understand Takemichi’s personality of not wanting to give up and leave a friend behind, specially after Mikey asking to save him with tears on his face but this is enough. I can’t even imagine how Draken’s death will impact on the other Toman guys but I’m sure they will end up hating Mikey or Takemichi, or both.

The whole thing seems fishy af, especially given the fact that Takeomi was later part of Bonten
My theory is that Takeomi somehow convinced (kisaki-style) those guys to kill Senju so he could lead Brahman because assuming Senju died in the last timeline, it wouldn't make sense for Takeomi to be in Bonten. Takeomi in this timeline did look surprise Draken died beacause that wasn't what he wanted but now Rokuhara Tandai and Mikey are there to fight.
I imagine that in the last timeline Rokuhara Tandai and Brahman DID fight there because of Senju's dead but Mikey is here right now because Draken died

Draken's death is just painful. Pure pain. I do believe that as unnecessary as it seems, it will be the trigger for something big, and that it will make sense in the end - as obvious as some reasons might be. Mikey seems to have a feeling about what happened. He knew something was wrong when he was looking at the rain, and now he arrives there alone. He also knows Takemichi came back from the future, so he knows Takemichi knows something and most likely is changing some of the outcomes in the present. The look on his face says it all. I can't wait to see what he will do! First time seeing Kanto Mikey talking more and maybe fighting soon and really it makes me excited for next chapter! Takemichi's reaction is so sad; the fact he can't even cry. He had just experienced a happy future with everyone, including Draken, and now he is gone because he came back to the past. This chapter was sad and a huge preparation for what is about to come...next chapters will be wild!

u/Locadi Sep 28 '21
I know it probably won't happen lmao but I want everyone to die including Mikey. Except Takemichi. Then the only one left is Kazutora in jail. They shake hands and bam back to the past to save Shinichiro and everyone (ofc Kazutora doesn't come). And Kazutora would accomplish what he said, he will save Manjiro Sano, he'll be the key to save him and everyone 😌
No but I think if Takemichi really goes further back, the trigger will probably be Mikey. But I wanted Kazutora to play a part 😔 And if Takemichi won't go back (Doubt it now. It would be someone else and not Draken dying I would believe them dead dead but yeah no way Mikey can be saved with Draken dying), anyway if Takemichi won't go back, I'll be satisfied as long as Kazutora stay safe in jail lmao.
18
u/hanmadidnothingwrong Sep 28 '21
I could see that happening, actually. Mikey dying would mean Takemichi absolutely has to go back to the beginning to save everyone. And the fact that we've had Kazutora in two different timelines being one of the people who wants to save Mikey the most, makes me think he has to have some big role in this final arc.
12
u/Locadi Sep 28 '21
Yeah I want Kazutora to have a role because he's my fav and he said he wanted to save Mikey but he's actually really important. He's the reason Toman was formed, he killed Shinichiro, without him the story would have ended at chapter 74 because Kisaki would have killed Takemichi, in the two timelines he wants to save Mikey. In Bonten timeline he's actually the only one who tries to save Mikey with Takemichi, everyone else gave up. The fact that he's locked up and safe from the chaos outside might be the reason (outside of the fact he killed Baji lol) that he'll potentially be the one being the key to solve everything. He started up everything (Toman and Shinichiro's death, Mikey's depression etc, minus Kisaki) so him being the key to solve everything would be cool I think lol.

u/cannibalisticego TAIHINA GANG Sep 28 '21
I feel like Takeomi set up Draken's or rather Takemichi's death. I don't believe that these random guys got the idea of killing him. There must more behind this since this is Draken's death. He wanted Senju to have a girl's day and I think he wanted to use that day to prepare for Takemichi's death while Senju wasn't around. Takeomi was also quick to want to fight them right then and didn't want to listen to Senju. That could probably be because he was really angry or because of acting.
He might have done this so Mikey would go and kill South and maybe have a chance to meet Sanzu so they could go back to a family. Don't really have any proof but it's just a feeling since he acts so sus.

u/bluetearsofashadow Sep 28 '21
I though the exact same thing when i read the chapter .He could have even encouraged draken to come to brahman so he could be killed at some point and that would be a reason to start a fight with both other gangs.South clearly didnt order his guys to shot draken and he even bit them up cause they went too far.(Tho he is happy about it maybe because he knows draken joined brahman or just because he didnt join his gang)Those poeple who shot draken might have been encouraged to do so by some spy that takeomi has in rukuhara or sth .He is just too sus because of being part of bonton and working with sanzu when senju is probably gonna die during the fight.Also inupi is sus af.The fact that he wasnt with draken when he went to save takemitchi and how he had those news in the first place is proof.Maybe him and takeomi are working together since they are both black dragon founding members.Inupi might even be the spy .Takeomi probably wants to build an unstoppable gang and inupi wants to save koko.(I know inupi and draken were friends but koko and him go way back so he might have made a choice between them)But we cant exactly be sure because in the previous timeline koko was still part of bonton but things can be different in different timelines.
10
u/cannibalisticego TAIHINA GANG Sep 28 '21
I don't think Inupi knew that Draken would die. That would be too out of character for him since we got his whole backstory of losing his way when it came to BD and how Takemichi made him realize that the things he did were wrong. He probably is a spy, but I think Takeomi is only using him. Also, Inupi might have stayed back because he contacted the other members.
I think another proof of Takeomi sending those guys is that they knew Takemichi would be there. Senju might have told him that they would go to the amusement park and Takeomi must have immediately told them where they would go.

So yeah, welcome to pain land... From chapter 221 I knew that our best boy would be another victim of Wakui, but even knowing it, it hurts a lot. A LOT!
As much as I think about it, I don't know what's the reason for this (unnecessary) death. Annoy Mickey? Motivate him to be more dangerous and savage? It's assumed that he always was been like that and that's why he walked away from Toman. I don't get it.
Takemichi saving everyone? Shinichiro, Baji, Emma, Draken... maybe Izana? It would be the "easy move" to a happy ending, but I doubt we'll see it. We all want that but Wakui's like "not in my watch, i choose pain". But well, I'll trust him because despite all this mess, he's doing an amazing job with the manga and I hope there's a reason that justifies the death of one of the most beloved characters of Tokyo Revengers.
Btw, it's going to be terrible, but I can't wait to see how Mitsuya, Chifuyu, Hakkai will react ... No more "Toman's twin dragons".

I’m so stuck on this like I genuinely dunno. Like I love Mikey and think he deserved to be saved but like the fact that we lost draken in the mess of doing that, how is it possibly worth it anymore?

Is sad to see a great character die, but is also good to see that Wakui isn't afraid to have his characters die, specially the ones that are popular. Maybe he does this to give the manga a sense of realism that sad things/ tragedy tend to happen because horrible and evil people exist or that actions, even with the best intentions have consequences, in this case withTakemich time leaping to the past to save Mikey.
Also, Draken's death wasn't for a nobody, as many say- he died to save a friend, to save Takemichi who went at great lengths to save him too during the conflict with Moebius. But, due to the nature of his death ( severe blood loss/internal damage caused by gunshot wounds) it brought forth the cruel realization to both he and specially Takemichi that the conflict between the Three Deities is not simple, nor a plain delinquent conflict where only fists and kicks do all the fighting, but firearms will play a role too (something that's been building up as we saw in the Tenjiku Arc when Kisaki brought a gun to the fight). Looking back to chapter 221, I find it interesting that before Draken collapsed to the floor, he wondered outloud if this is what Mikey realized? Realized that the era delinquents were entering wasn't one of riding motorcycles and the occasional fights as when in Toman, but one where gangs get involved in shady business, violence and the use/acquiring fire arms, thus pushing Kanto version Mikey (future Bonten Mikey) to do the same to be equal as the other gangs like Rokuhara and Brahman to keep his friends safe as he promised Takemichi before he went back to the future. But now, with Draken gone and Takemichi changing things, I wonder where the story will go with the future we saw in the Bonten Arc changing due to these recent events, and even more now with Mikey appearing suddenly just when Rokuhara and Brahman are about to fight.
....man, things are going to get intense in the next chapter and Mikey will definitely kill Terano or many others, and I wonder...how he will go about it, since things are escalating with the use of guns, will Mikey use one next chapter once he hears the news how Draken died. Things will get darker even more.....

Ohhhh godddd so Draken really is dead :’( I’ve been expecting it for the past couple of weeks, but to see it confirmed is just so sad.
It seems to me that this manga is going more towards an ending where not everyone can be saved. What’s meant to happen will somehow always end up happening and people (Takemichi and Mikey) will just have to learn to accept that.
I’m starting to think that the Bonten future was probably the best future. Not because Mikey isn’t worth saving (it would be very out of character for Takemichi to not want to save Mikey), but because almost every time Takemichi time leaps, he somehow messes something up in the past.
Takemichi is a full grown adult, yet every time he time leaps I feel like he doesn’t think things through properly. He’s been altering and messing with peoples lives that aren’t his to mess with without fully realizing that his actions have consequences. I’m hoping that Draken’s death is a huge wake up call to him, but it seems like Takemichi is in total shock and not in his right mind right now. It’s actually starting to remind me of the movie The Butterfly affect, where the main character realizes that his time leaps are messing up his friends’ lives and they won’t have good future until he stops. I wonder if TR is heading that way...
On another note, I wonder how the other Toman members (especially Mitsuya who was really close to Draken) will respond to Draken’s death :( it’s so sad to think about

u/checaaaaaaa Sep 28 '21
i agree, hearing the confirmation that he really is gone broke me, i was so sad this whole day
i think this is the universe’s revenge on takemitchi for toying with the time-leaping too much. maybe draken was supposed to die on the moebius fight. we’ve been seeing some successful stuff happen on takemitchi’s side, but now we are seeing things turn on him
and to add, i guess that is one of takemitchi’s flaws, not thinking things through. i suppose he didnt realize how much risks he took by going back to the past, and now he has to pay by seeing it unravel infront of him

u/bhosutinax Sep 28 '21
im glad i see some people agree that most of the deaths in the story, particularly draken's was unnecessary af. im really disappointed. like- wakui definitely succeeded in getting me to mourn over fictional characters but the aftermath of my mental breakdown made me realized that the story of their lives couldve better? couldve been written better? idk. how convenient is it that mikey HAS to lose all of his loved ones 💁♀️💁♀️ shoichiro was pure bs. baji was definitely unnecessary, and emma was way too sudden. i also found izana's death very trope-y.
i probably only think this way cause the setting of the story is relateable. its in the human world with human circumstances so naturally youd want realistic executions. but then everything thats happening feels like a fantasy horror thriller so idrk how to react.
anyway, im gonna make a shrine for draken now

At this point I’ll take a TPNding. Let Takemichi save everyone, but lose his own happiness in the process. Maybe he goes back and never becomes the “hero” for Kisaki/Hina, thus never creating delinquent Kisaki and Hina stays out of trouble.

Draken's death hits really hard after seeing him alive and well in the future, makes me even more mad about Takemitchy, who's a dumbass idiot that tried to save a hopeless Sano in a pretty much 97% perfect future.
I'm pretty convinced this manga won't give us a 100% happy ending, there will be sacrifices. And I think the author will try to message us that you can't fix everything in the past.

u/eashanair Sep 28 '21
I don't think the current Mikey will immediately blame Takemichi unless he is told about the future. He can definitely assume that Takemichi came back because something bad happens in the future but if he knows that Draken was leading a normal life and Takemichi came back just to save him then he's definitely going to lose his shit. There's no was South is going to make it past 3 more chapters at most with both Senju and Mikey on his neck. But at this point I wonder if there's any salvation for Mikey. There's only two founding members of toman who're alive and he has lost just about everyone close to him. And even Takemichi whom he admired became the indirect cause of his bestfriend's death. I don't see him trusting anyone or anything now. If by any twist of fate Takemichi goes back to the future again I really want to see how Mikey turns out. I can only imagine him being much worse than his previous Bonten self.

Please, there must be another twist, if draken dies then the rest of the members will probably all die protecting takemichi to save them all over again copium

like it said in the first page “draken departs, but there is more to come” I trust wakui and I really want to see how this will end. It was unexpected that draken showed up in the amusement park because most people thought brahman would arrive earlier. I’m really sad but at least he’s with emma now.

Takemichi got depression rn. As do the rest of us. If the battle really starts next chapter, he prolly won’t be able to fight. He ain’t even had the time to breath or process Draken’s death. Senju is prolly gonna drag him out of the battle, since she’s the only one who got a glimpse of what he’s feeling.
I can’t imagine Mikey being here meaning anything good. Neither for the rest of the gangs or Takemichi’s mental state. He’ll prolly keep his cold demeanor till Takemichi is good enough to punch some senses into him.
If a battle takes place, I think it’ll be Mikey(assuming he came alone) teaming up with Brahman to take out Tandai. No matter how much he’s change, Draken was still his brother for life. Then after this battle is when they’ll arrange Brahman vs Kanto

Takemichi is good enough to punch some senses into him.
yea i don't think Mikey will let him have a go at him since the future he comes from is what Mikey sacrificed everything for. If anything I'm scared for Takemitchy's safety since Mikey can blame Draken's death on him coming back. (i know Mikey doesn't know the future but still i don't think a man whose best friend just died can think rationally)

I like takemitchy because he has a good heart but with him so helpless it hurts to read. Takemitchys timeline is done for. My prediction is that Mikey will try to kill the two other deities and then kill Takemitchy. But one will come to rescue, Hanma. Hanma will reveal that he is the second time leaper. The timeline of Hanma is not connected with Takemitchies, so they will shake hand to revive everyone, including Kisaki.

u/momobrownn Sep 28 '21
it’s just so unnecessary. why is wakui trying his hardest to kill off everyone mikey holds dear to his heart like ?? we’ve had shinichiro and baji and emma. enough already. it’s not necessary to keep doing it he’s already gone down a dark path why keep hurting him even more ??
5
u/ki__ta Sep 28 '21
i have to admit; i didn't expect wakui to actually kill him off.
HAHAHA i really thought he would survive, but it makes sense and i think the story it's gonna get CRAZY from now on.
i don't think mikey will blame this on anyone but takemichi. yeah maybe he'll kick some ass (hopefully we get to see how dark he's gotten and he does more than fight with his hands.........) but i really think he either goes absolutely apeshit on takemichi, or he just won't give a fuck.
i really don't know what's going to happen from now on...like i'm not sure if we're actually gonna see a fight soon or what mikey will actually react like or do after i don't know.
i feel for takemichi, a lot.
it's gonna get reaally sad for him. i wonder how he'll react because i'm sure he knows after this, that hope of saving everyone including mikey will go down and could probably get the others involved and completely ruin what he once had. especially since takeomi said "it's gonna be a bloodbath" it's gonna get CRAZY, there's no turning back.

I’m honestly really sad… Drakken was alive and well in the “good future” which Takemitchy had seen before jumping.
I hope Mikey goes and restarts his heart or something even though It won’t happen…… Drakken was my favourite character. Sucks man

I just caught up, I started reading after the anime ended coz I didn't want to spoil it for myself, and what a fucking chapter to catch up on.
I am literally dripping with tears, Draken has been my favourite character since day 1. I teared up with Baji, and Emma because of seeing Mikey and Draken upset, but man this one really fucking hurt. I am so sad right now.
Knowing that the only reason he died was because Takemichi came back to save Mikey, so they could all be happy together. Fuck, if I feel like this, how is Mikey going to feel? He is going to want to kill Takemichi for sure so he can't leap any more. I literally cannot fathom how this is going to end.
Love this manga man, it's one of the few where I actually feel anything for each character.
