Having an ability that can solve your biggest problems doesn’t mean everything will work out on the first try. Tokyo Revengers’ Takemichi is the perfect example of this, as he has the most incredible power of all time but still can’t seem to get things right.
As soon as the first season ended, we learned that changing the future takes more than just time-traveling powers.
Besides changing everyone’s fate, Takemichi had to get involved with some scary people and gangs that made things more difficult for him. These people have always been a big hurdle and will only increase in the coming episodes.
The latest teaser for the sequel anime, ‘Tokyo Revengers: Christmas Showdown,’ shows us Takemichi’s new challenge: Black Dragon. It is slated to debut in January 2023.
Black Dragon had already been introduced in the first season as a minor antagonist. They were only there for a few scenes but left a horrific impact on fans.
As the trailer suggests, the season will be focused entirely on Mitsuya, captain of Tokyo Manji Gang’s 2nd division and the Shiba siblings.
The eldest, Taiju Shiba, is Black Dragon’s leader, and the youngest, Hakkai, is the vice-captain of Tokyo Manji Gang’s 2nd division. They also have a sister Yuzuha Shiba who is younger than Taiju and older than Hakkai.
Takemichi’s frustration and inability to save his loved ones despite having the power of time travel really did a number on us. Such a reality and strong emotions can only be conveyed by well-written characters and even better actors.
The franchise aims to do the same in the second season and has announced some new members who’ll be joining the gang:
| Character | Cast | Other Works |
| Yuzuha Shiba | Mikako Komatsu | Maki Zenin (Jujutsu Kaisen) |
| Taiju Shiba | Tomokazu Sugita | Escanor (The Seven Deadly Sins) |
A fair warning before you get excited about the upcoming season: it will be brutal. The trailer shows the tip of the iceberg about how complicated and violent things will get from now on.
Black Dragon is one of the most dangerous gangs in the show that are significant throughout. I can only imagine how the crybaby hero plans to deal with it.
