Tokyo Revengers begins by showing a young man named Takemichi Hanagaki,
who lives alone in a tiny apartment in a very messy state.
One morning, Takemichi, who had just woken up,
was surprised by a television broadcast that reported a feud between gangs that caused the
death of a girl named Hinata Tachibana and her younger brother, Naoto Tachibana. Takemichi was
shocked and frustrated after knowing the news because Hinata was his first love when he was still in high school.
Takemichi, who continues to follow the news about the feud between Tokyo Manji's gang against the yakuza,
had no idea that the girl he loved had died tragically.
Takemichi, still thinking about Hinata's death, didn't notice that he was standing too close to
the train tracks and was pushed down just as the train was speeding towards him.
He thought it was his destiny to die in that place and tried to accept his fate.
But then, he realizes that he had miraculously teleported to the past,
to the time ten years ago when he was still in high school.
At that time, Takemichi was a delinquent student with four good friends:
Akkun, Yamagishi, Makoto, and Takuya.
At first, he thought that his meeting with his friends in high school was just
a flashback to before he died because before, he almost got hit by a train.
However, how shocked he is when he finds out that what he is experiencing right now is not a flashback before death,
but he actually returned to the past.
Akkun then tells Takemichi to get ready because soon they will fight a second-year student from Shibuya High.
Takuya then orders him to contact his cousin,
Masaru, a third grader at Shibuya High, so they can bully the second-grade students more freely.
They finally arrived at an empty lot, where they challenged the second-year students of
Shibuya High who passed by that place.
However, not long after, a group of third-year Shibuya High
students led by a young man named Masataka Kiyomizu, more familiarly called Kiyomasa,
arrived and immediately challenged Takemichi and his friends to a fight.
They suddenly felt panic and fear because they knew that Kiyomasa
was a member of the Tokyo Manji gang who was very feared and scary and respected in the region.
Shortly afterward, Masaru arrived at the place.
However, he has always been the target of bullying by Kiyomasa at school.
Kiyomasa then ordered his men to gang up on Takemichi and his friends and make them slaves to the Tokyo Manji gang.
Takemichi then realized that this incident made him a loser in the future
because he never tried to fight Kiyomasa and his henchmen
and chose to run away from school to avoid the bullying that Kiyomasa always did to him.
That night, with pain all over his body, Takemichi limped toward Hinata's house
because he missed her so much and wanted to ensure that she was alive and well.
Arriving there, Hinata was very surprised to see Takemichi, who was battered and then treated for his wounds.
He then tells her he is relieved and happy to finally meet her again.
He tells her she will die in ten years,
which is why he feels very happy with the flashback he is experiencing.
Hearing this, Hinata tells Takemichi that she will not die because she is a strong person.
Furthermore, she said that she would always be with him for the next ten years.
Takemichi, who was very moved when he heard her words,
then asked why she didn't mind dating a weak and cowardly man like him.
However, she didn't answer the question and only responded with a smile.
After that, Takemichi, sitting alone in the park, saw Hinata's younger brother, Naoto,
who was being bullied by criminals.
He tries to help Naoto but is also poorly beaten and becomes battered in the end. Knowing that Naoto and his
sister will die ten years later, he asks Naoto to become stronger to protect himself and Hinata so
that they don't become victims of the Tokyo Manji gang's feud against the yakuza in the future.
Naoto initially thought that Takemichi was making things up. However, after seeing his sincerity,
Naoto was finally willing to fulfill his request. They then shook hands with each other. But then,
a miracle happened, and Takemichi returned to the future. Takemichi, who woke up from his stupor,
is met by Naoto, now a detective in the Tokyo Metropolitan Police. Naoto reveals that his
encounter with Takemichi in the past had changed his destiny because he was determined to protect
Hinata and himself. However, no matter how hard he tried, he still failed to protect Hinata, who,
in the end, died. Naoto then takes Takemichi to his house, explaining that Tokyo Manji was an
ordinary motorcycle gang in the past. But now, it has grown into a criminal organization engaged in
the drug business and has recently been involved in a series of murder incidents. He then showed
photos of the gang leader Tokyo Manji, Sano Manjiro, and his deputy, Kisaki Tetta. Naoto
tells Takemichi that they must prevent the meeting between Sano Manjiro and Kisaki Tetta in the past
because Kisaki Tetta will manipulate Sano and make Tokyo Manji's gang as evil as they are now.
Knowing that it is the only way to save Hinata's life, Takemichi is finally willing to go back in
time and prevent their meeting. After they shake hands, Takemichi suddenly returns to the past,
right in the middle of the street fighting arena held by Kiyomasa and his henchmen.
Takemichi, who was suddenly there without any preparation, was brought down very easily by
his opponent. After that, Kiyomasa ordered one of Takemichi's friends, Takuya, to fight against him.
Because Takuya is the weakest among them, his friends try to protect him. One of them is Akkun,
who plans to stab Kiyomasa with a knife he has prepared. On the other hand, Takemichi, who knows
that Akkun will stab Kiyomasa and be thrown into prison because of it, then tries to prevent him
and convinces him that he will fulfill Kiyomasa's challenge to protect Takuya. After that, Takemichi
then challenged Kiyomasa to fight against him. This is a bold step taken by him to change the
future and protect his friends. Takemichi tells Kiyomasa that if he wins the fight, Kiyomasa
must bring him together with the Tokyo Manji gang leader, Sano Manjiro. However, Kiyomasa thought
that he had been presumptuous and beat him out. Even though he was beaten by Kiyomasa, Takemichi
refused to give up and kept getting up to protect his friends until finally, two young men arrived.
They were none other than Sano Manjiro, commonly called Mikey, the leader of the Tokyo Manji gang,
and Ken Ryuguji, commonly called Draken, who is the vice-leader of the Tokyo Manji gang.
The arrival of the Tokyo Manji gang officials turned out to be because they wanted to stop
Kiyomasa, who had tarnished the good name of their gang by being arbitrary towards others.
Mikey seems to be interested in Takemichi and makes him his friend. Before leaving, Mikey
punished Kiyomasa by knocking him unconscious and freeing Takemichi and his friends from Kiyomasa's
clutches, who made them his slaves. A few days later, Takemichi and Hinata seem to go somewhere
to see the fireworks festival. Because the moment was so romantic, he held her hand,
hoping that the moment could last forever. But as it turns out, he holds Naoto's hand, bringing him
back to the future. Takemichi looks annoyed that Naoto ruined his romantic moment with Hinata.
However, Naoto ignored that and asked about the progress that he had made in the past.
Takemichi says he just met Mikey and managed to impress him, so he made Takemichi his friend.
Naoto then asks him to kill Mikey, so Mikey doesn't meet Kiseki Tetta. However,
he refuses to kill anyone and will find a way to prevent their meeting from happening soon. When
he finally returns to the past, Takemichi sees Mikey and Draken already at his school and plans
to take him out for a walk. Knowing that Mikey and Draken are the top brass of the Tokyo Manji gang,
Takemichi's schoolmates don't waste the opportunity to challenge them to a fight. However,
even if it's just the two, they can easily take down Takemichi's schoolmates with their formidable
fighting abilities. When Takemichi was about to go with them, Hinata suddenly arrived there and
immediately slapped Mikey, thinking that Mikey and Draken were people who had always bullied
Takemichi. Because Hinata slapped Mikey, Draken didn't necessarily stay silent and approached her.
Takemichi, who thought that Draken would hurt her, then came forward to defend his girlfriend
and told Draken that he would not hesitate to take revenge on anyone who dared to hurt her.
Mikey and Draken, who saw his attitude, then insisted they would never hurt a woman.
After knowing that they were not people who always bullied Takemichi, Hinata apologized
and let Takemichi go with them. He then goes for a walk with them on a bicycle. Mikey reveals to
Takemichi that he is interested in him because Takemichi has a personality like his late brother,
who is not afraid to challenge anyone. Draken then added that in this world, strong people might be
countless. However, someone willing to face anyone to protect the most precious people in his life,
like Takemichi, is extremely rare. That's why Mikey emphasized that in Tokyo Manji, all members
must be willing to risk their lives for their friends and help each other. Seeing him, willing
to protect his friends from Kiyomasa some time ago, Mikey immediately wanted to make Takemichi
his friend and offered to join Tokyo Manji. That same night, Mikey and Draken take Takemichi to
attend the Tokyo Manji gang meeting, where he also meets Kiyomasa. However, upon learning
of Kiyomasa's presence at the meeting, Draken expelled Kiyomasa and officially fired him from
the Tokyo Manji gang. With a half-dead annoyed look on his face, Kiyomasa finally left there.
After that, a high-ranking Tokyo Manji gang named Pah-chin told Mikey and Draken that he wanted
to take revenge on the Moebius gang because the Moebius gang leader, a man named Nobutaka Osanai,
had beaten his best friend and his girlfriend to a pulp and lay in a coma in the hospital. Since
all Tokyo Manji's gang members have agreed to help Pah-chin take his revenge, Mikey sets the day when
they will launch an attack on the Moebius gang. Takemichi, who is very impressed with Mikey's
leadership, returns to the future and tells Naoto that Mikey and all the Tokyo Manji gang
members are not bad people. He thinks there must be something that makes Mikey change drastically.
Hearing this, Naoto was reminded of the incident that killed Draken because, after his death,
Mikey met Kiseki Tetta, making Tokyo Manji what it is today. Naoto and Takemichi then begin to
find out about the cause of death of Draken, who died from a stab wound during the feud between
Tokyo Manji and Moebius. To save many people, Takemichi is determined to return to the past
and prevent the death caused by the gang feud. In the past, Takemichi then secretly followed Mikey
and Draken, who went to the hospital to visit Pah-chin's friend, who was lying in a coma.
The girl's parent blames them for what happened to their daughter. At first, Mikey refused to be
blamed like that and was about to fight back. But then, Draken told him to apologize and respect his
elders, especially those who are grieving parents because of their daughter's critical condition.
Seeing this, Takemichi became even more convinced that they were not bad people.
Takemichi then desperately begged Mikey and Draken to cancel their battle against the Moebius gang.
However, Mikey ignored his plea, and at the same time, Osanai and the Moebius gang members arrived
at the place. Pah-chin, who wants revenge, then challenges Osanai to fight against him one on one.
However, he is no match for Osanai, who can easily take him down. Because Pah-chin had been defeated,
Mikey stepped forward to fight Osanai, and he managed to take down Osanai with two strikes.
Afterward, Mikey challenges the rest of the Moebius gang to come forward and fight him if they
still want to deal with Pah-chin. However, none of them dared to come forward and fight against
the leader of Tokyo Manji. Not long after, Draken announced that from now on, the Moebius gang would
join the Tokyo Manji gang. Hearing this, Osanai did not just stand still. He then grabbed the
broken bottle and immediately attacked Mikey. Draken quickly stopped the attack and defeated
Osanai, so he and the Moebius gang were declared lost to Tokyo Manji's gang. Takemichi, who saw the
incident, felt very relieved because Draken only suffered minor injuries on the palm of his hand.
However, he remembered Naoto's words that Draken was expected to die the next day,
so he had to be more careful and not divert his attention to anything to save Draken.
That same night, Takemichi, who was accompanying Hinata to attend the summer festival, saw several
members of the Moebius gang whose movements were very suspicious. He secretly followed them and
found out that they were planning together with Kiyomasa, who wanted to take revenge on Draken for
removing him from the Tokyo Manji gang. However, Kiyomasa immediately noticed Takemichi stalking
them and beat him to a pulp. Kiyomasa tells him he will not let anyone spoil his plans to
take revenge on the Draken, including him. After smothering and tying Takemichi with duct tape,
Kiyomasa and the Moebius gang members left him in the forest. But then, Hinata, who had been looking
for him, finally found him and freed him. He felt down because he was not as strong as Mikey and
Draken, so he always lost to Kiyomasa and could not protect the people who were very valuable in
his life. However, Hinata again reminded Takemichi of their first meeting, where he desperately tried
to protect her. She revealed that what made her fall in love with him was his kindness,
gentleness, and willingness to do anything to protect the most valuable people in his life.
After hearing Hinata's words, Takemichi finally got up and rushed to where the Draken was being
ganged up by Osanai and the Moebius gang members. Because Draken has a strong fighting ability, he
can still survive and face them alone until Mikey, and the Tokyo Manji gang members finally arrive.
The battle between the Tokyo Manji gang against the Moebius gang was finally inevitable.
During the battle, Kiyomasa stole the opportunity to stab Draken until he finally fell. But then,
Takemichi arrived, called an ambulance, and rushed to carry him to the highway so that he could get
medical help immediately. However, Kiyomasa confronts them, so Takemichi decides to fight
against him to save Draken. Although, at first, Takemichi was repeatedly dropped by Kiyomasa, who
was much stronger than him. However, he finally managed to overthrow Kiyomasa and took Draken to
the hospital. On the other hand, the Tokyo Manji gang finally managed to defeat the Moebius gang,
and they rushed to the hospital to find out about Draken's condition. Even though he was badly
injured and covered in blood, the Tokyo Manji gang members remained loyal to Draken, who was
being operated on. Mikey, who is not only worried about Draken's condition but also the others,
then goes to buy food and distributes it to the Tokyo Manji gang members while asking them not
to worry too much about Draken's condition because he is a strong person and will not
die just like that. Hearing this, Takemichi realizes that Mikey is very worried about Draken,
but he must stay strong for the sake of the rest of Tokyo Manji's gang. When the doctor finally
announced that Draken's life had been saved and his condition was stable, Mikey instead chose
to stay away from everyone and cried happily because his best friend had survived. He was
very relieved because of that. The next day, Takemichi, who finally returned to the future,
rushed to Hinata's house to ensure that he had saved everyone, including her. As soon
as he arrived in front of her apartment, Takemichi felt relieved and happy because Hinata was fine,
and she welcomed his arrival with joy. The film ends. The moral that can be learned from this
movie is that becoming strong is not by defeating the stronger person but by being willing to do
whatever it takes to protect the people who are most precious in our lives.
Just like Draken says, "there are plenty of guys who are strong and good at fighting. But,
there aren't many guys who would stand up against anyone to protect what's important to them."
