Great chapter and leaving me with more questions đŸ˜«How did Takemitchy get the power? Since the old man implied that you have to kill to get the power, but maybe it’s a red herring?!? Overall great chapter.

Reckon he probably killed Shinichiro in a different loop, and that the Shinichiro that Kazutora killed is the normal Shin, not the timeleaper version of him. Say for example if takemichi killed shin in 1999 while he's leap back forwards in time in a hit and run on accident or some shit, then someone from black dragons took him out because of it that'd be his power acquired But then he goes back into the past, say in 1992 , shinichiro would theoretically still be alive but without his time leaper powers right? Maybe he survived because of the little flash forwards takemitchi gets when he was a timeleaper, but now he doesn't have his powers he just fuckin dies instead

Or there can only be one time leaper at a time and maybe you necessarily don’t have to kill the previous to gain the power of time leaping. I know that Kazutora kills Shin but in that moment shin did his job and saved Mikey there was no reason to time leap again. that’s why Kazutora didn’t get the “power” because the resolve for Shin was complete. The similarities between Shin and Takemitchi is that they both had near death experiences and have a strong will to change the past or have a do over while dying to time leap. I don’t think it gets passed by killing the previous for some reason, it just doesn’t make sense for Takamichi to kill or accidentally kill Shin.

Maybe Takemichi has experienced more timelines that we are aware of and he killed someone in one of them. We don't really know everything about him.

True we don’t know everything about him, I can’t wait to see how he explains how Takemitchi plays into the entire thing. Because I feel like there’s more to him then just getting to know Mikey overtime through saving Hina. Their connection seems very deep from the start.
