Tokyo Revengers Season 2 Episode 12 Overview

When the first season ended, fans felt endless frustration because of the massive cliffhanger of the last episode that left many questions unanswered. This is why the hype around this anime is insane, and we are sure it will live up to it.

Studio LIDENFILMS which handled the first season of this anime will be returning for this season. They have worked on Koi to Uso, Yamada-kun and the Seven Witches, Yofukashi no Uta, etc.

The opening song will be White Noise (ホワイトノイズ), performed by Official HIGE DANdism, and the ending theme will be Kizutsu kedo, Aishiteru. (傷つけど、愛してる。), performed by TUYU.

I have tried my best to keep the review as spoiler free as possible, but there are certain elements that I had to mention to give proper feedback.

Tokyo Revengers Season 2 Episode 12 Review and Recap – What Went Wrong?

Another episode of Tokyo Revengers is here, and we are back again with a review of how this episode went. 

The story picks up from the moment Takemichi finds out about Mitsuya’s death. Just like all the viewers, he too is confused as to why this is happening in a future which was supposed to be good. He did everything perfectly – he solved the problem of Black Dragons and also stopped the threat of Kisaki; then why is someone from Toman still dead?

He goes more into depression after finding out that Hina died as well, signalling that even in this timeline, he couldn’t save the love of his life. Later when he goes back home, Naoto visits him and informs him how this is the worst future yet, and almost everyone whom Takemichi considered a friend from Toman is deceased. And the culprit is none other than Mikey himself. For some reason, he went on a killing spree and eliminated everyone, along with his trusted friend Draken.

Such a bizarre situation is hard to digest for Takemichi, who, like us, is utterly confused and stressed about this tragic turn of events. That is when he gets a picture and instructions to meet at a specific time from someone from the Philippines. Believing that person to be Mikey, Takemichi goes on a journey to encounter the adult Mikey for the first time ever and find out what has transpired.

How this show progressed might divide the fandom into one group of people who liked it and one who did not. Yes, things can seem repeated as everything is back to square one, and we are again presented with a hopeless future where our protagonist has failed to protect everyone, more pathetically than ever.  

But the failures also prove how changing someone’s destiny is not as easy as it sounds. It takes tremendous effort and extreme determination to achieve something as momentous as pivoting the course of fate. 

Verdict

I am actually loving this series for its tangled intricacies and am ready to wait for the whole mystery to unravel. Try this anime yourself and see if you like it or not. Watch this anime on Hulu.
