Episode 1 of Tokyo Revengers: Santen Sensou-hen felt surprisingly calm, but in a way that made the tension even stronger. After everything that happened before, seeing Emma’s funeral and Draken breaking down gave the episode a much heavier emotional start than I expected. 🖤
Takemichi being called a “hero” by Mikey also hit differently. He’s still the same crybaby who gets beaten down constantly, but you can really feel how much his actions have changed the people around him.
The episode is mostly setup, so don’t expect a huge fight right away. But with Toman disbanded, Mikey moving in a completely different direction, and new powers beginning to rise, it feels like everything is being rearranged for something much bigger.
I also really liked the opening. The whole episode gave me that “calm before the storm” feeling, and knowing this is the Three Deities arc makes me even more curious about what’s coming next. Solid return. 🔥
