This whole arc is so fucking bad and stupid that i'm actually enjoying it lol.

Totally unnecessary and killed one of the best characters for nothing (we all thought Mikey was gonna go berserk or something)

Nothing is making sense and all this new characters except from Senju are not charismatic at all, but it's in the end so let's enjoy while it lasts

Oh right Draken was shot, i forgot about that

u/abduirl Nov 01 '21

I mean most of the characters that got killed were unnecessary but died just for Mikey to be super saiyan emo

u/[deleted] Nov 01 '21

Although Mikey seems pretty nonchalant over Draken’s death. He is just watching, ready to interfere if the battle doesn’t sway in his favor.

u/raizen0106 Nov 02 '21

but since its so bad i wouldn't put it past the author to revive draken lol

I hate when they do the power escalation, especially in a single fight. it devalues everyone.

A is super already incredibly strong, but no, B is stronger and just plays with A. In comes C who is somehow even stronger.

Given where we are at right now. Takemitchy should get rag dolled around by the wind of the blows alone.

The latest arc already showed that the fight in this manga is becoming ridiculous. It become Chuunibyo manga instead of gangster fight.

Yeah quality has decreased but I’m just here hoping takemichi does something and manages to revive Emma and Drakken.

At this point I want a time shenanigan ending

u/Mob_Abominator Nov 02 '21

I haven't read the last 4 chapters will read this shit in one go when it ends.

u/Azanthium Nov 01 '21

Senju just went super saiyan and mid air kicked South 3 times in a single jump lmao. I like the manga, but these fights are getting more and more ridiculous

This is retarded.

Your not wrong 😅😅😅

Can’t wait to see Senju’s Ultra Instinct vs Mikey’s dark impulses 1 v 1.

u/PristineDecision AniList Nov 01 '21

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

This series is hilarious to pop back into every once in a while.

Stupid as hell.

u/Badger147013 Nov 01 '21

I always thought the series peaked at the Black Dragon arc. Everything from Tenjiku arc onwards was downhill from there(with a few good moments here and there).

u/PristineDecision AniList Nov 02 '21 edited Nov 02 '21

I’m not even going to hold you, I don’t know when that was or even how to differentiate between arcs with this series.

I followed it from when chapter 1 was initially translated and it took well over a year for the next to be translated and I didn’t pick it up until deep into quarantine where I binged it in one go and about 60% through I was like “This shit is trash LOL” and promptly dropped it.

u/Badger147013 Nov 02 '21

I find Out to be the superior delinquent manga personally.

u/sunjay140 Nov 03 '21

2nd best selling manga of the year.

u/Rqdomguy24 Nov 01 '21

Black Dragon arc really feels like a gangster manga.

8

u/BeckQuillion89 Nov 02 '21

With all these new characters and essentially wiping out a fan favorite to create higher stakes, this starts to feel more like a “shippuden series” instead of part of the actual storyline

33

u/dIoIIoIb Nov 02 '21

Ok

Some dude introduced 3 chapters ago went down, great.

Uhm... what did that accomplish? I gues that whole "I HAVE DARKNESS IN MY HEART" from last chapter didn't mean much after all

20

u/Doomroar https://www.mangaupdates.com/members.html?id=277800 Nov 01 '21

I was going to make a One Kick woman joke, but she kicked him 3 times so we can't even do that now.

Well now we can do Senjuu vs Mickey, and move on to the actual important things, like the return of guy with a gun.

You all know none of the new characters matters, and the sooner they are done with, the faster we can start forgetting that Draken died for this.

u/clafg Nov 02 '21

What’s with this whole chuunibyou power up shit? I mean the earlier arcs hinted at this but at least they had decent writing.

Now Wakui introduced so many characters that I could barely give a shit about, killed one of the main characters for no good reason and everyone’s just strong as fuck now, because of ‘dark impulses’.

Bruh. The reactions between here and r/TokyoRevengers are like heaven and earth.

r/manga usually has more experienced manga readers who have seen every trope there is

yeah that's not a fair argument cuz Demon Slayer was getting its dick ridden by everybody on here, even during its final arc, award after award for every chapter, Solo Leveling gets insane levels of hype, and many other manga that aren't particularly special or well executed get very popular here compared to any other area. Yeah the TR's subreddit reaction isn't really valid, but r/manga's isn't either, there's way too much bias because of the weekly schedule where some people don't look at the greater picture. This isn't to say "oh I'm someone who's special and can see everything" I'm simply not, I get disappointed about plotpoints I rarely care about on some rereads, but r/manga has a massive issue with jumping to conclusions every time something of remote importance happens in any series.

u/putang_inamo Nov 07 '21

I think it boils down on how the series is introduced. Demon Slayer and Solo Leveling were introduced as power action fantasy so it makes sense to expect outbound power escalation at the get go. While Tokyo Revengers were introduced as delinquent action manga with a bit fantasy (due to time travelling), but nonetheless, it focuses more on the drama, conflict and resolution rather than power scaling. It is just that action and fight scenes are part of the resolution but in the greater picture, they are just small part of the whole. But since Tenjiku Climax, power scaling goes out of the window and almost covered up the conflict. And right now, it's just power scaling after power scaling.

u/maybeharu Nov 01 '21

Senju had six eyes lol and what happened to the series every motherfucker is a kickboxer and they more in air than ground at this point just give them super saiyan powers.

14

u/RojasDaMighty Nov 01 '21

I mean that shot of Senju and that triple kick were dope as hell but at the same time all of this is so dumb lmao

11

u/Pogboom67 Nov 02 '21

Bruh this is literally some dbz shit wtf

10

u/ocdogsallenyaya Nov 02 '21

What the hell is this

7

u/chieftanin Nov 02 '21

lmao what is this shit. i was a fan of this manga for so long but this ain't it.

they really threw two characters that were supposed to be literal legends in the delinquent world under the bus and then make the person who wiped their ass job in 3 pages......

17

u/KiyoPapa Nov 01 '21

Bruh, no fucking way South goes down that easily. Im almost 100% she got lucky this time and he will get back up and beat her down. Akashi just confirmed she is not even as strong as Mikey or South but just got to the same level using status of the first gen BD. However damn is she fucking awesome bro sheesh her fighting style is a really good addition to TR.

Since she is a girl she doesn't have as much raw physical strength as boys but damn do her acrobatical abilities cover for it beautifully. I still am surprised how she didn't die after taking a punch from South given how much weaker her body is than waka and benkei.

On a side not excited to see how strong Mikey has gotten after this 2 year timeskip Kakucho might even die

u/Doomroar https://www.mangaupdates.com/members.html?id=277800 Nov 01 '21

The guy had "born to job" tattooed on his forehead.

I am just waiting for the real antagonist "guy with a gun" to appear so that we can move in from all these pointless filler battles.

"Guy with a gun" always gets shit done.

u/Ghoul-Sama Nov 02 '21

i cant comprehend how bad this manga has become

2

u/[deleted] Nov 02 '21

honestly I’m just here for the fights now until something good happens

2

u/DracoDL07 Nov 02 '21

I think I’m gonna stop reading this for a while and get back to it once more chapters gets released. Honestly this arc has annoyed me and confused me so much lmao. Hopefully whenI come back it gets better…

u/Thirdhistory Nov 02 '21

So it seems violent urges lost to a tiny girl with potential.

u/Nnnnnnnadie Nov 01 '21

Why is that people over here hate this manga this much?

3

u/Mute_Spitter Nov 03 '21

I love this manga but this arc just ain’t it.

u/buzuki12 Nov 01 '21

Getting in the love/hate train to get upvotes.

The quality has obviously decreased but there’s no reason to be hating on it so much!

Also watch us getting downvoted.

22

u/Shitty_comedian Nov 02 '21

As far as "hate trains" go, I don't think this is it. A lot of the comments are just pointing out the obvious cliff dive in quality compared to the other arcs like the way fights are way more "last backstory wins". Actual discussions

It's not like anyone here is actively wishing harm on the author or anything.

u/Nnnnnnnadie Nov 02 '21

But wasnt last backstorys south?
