Tokyo Revengers: The first glimpse of Mikey's Dark Impulses


The latest Tokyo Revengers: Chapter 263 shows Mikey's backstory, and has hinted the reason of Mikey's dark impulses. In this chapter, we are shown Mikey's dad, who seems like a very cheerful person. Mikey looks up to him. We are then told that Mikey's father died in a car accident when Mikey was merely three.

His father's death was what triggered his desire to get stronger. Mikey trained hard to become strong and loved beating up other bad guys.

We are also shown that Mikey's mother is in the hospital, and Mikey gets to see her once a week. From the looks of it, she seems to be having some terrible disease, but she is always cheerful. She always talks about Mikey's father when he gets to see her, and Mikey loves his mother and wants to prove to her that he is strong.

Soon, in a scene we are shown that Shinichiro comes running and informs them that their mother is in critical condition. They go to visit her and have a talk. His mother then tells Mikey that he is strong, but not because he doesn't cry. It is a very emotional moment for Mikey, and three days later, Mikey's mother dies.

After that, we are shown that Mikey is in a trauma for a while and then, in a scene, we can see three high-school students picking on him, and that's when we see Mikey's dark impulses show for the first time.

It's pretty certain from this that Mikey's dark impulses are a result of his somewhat tragic childhood. Death of his father, death of his mother, and soon enough death of his brother might all have contributed to his dark impulses.

Tokyo Revengers: Takemichi is not the only Time Leaper

The Tokyo Revengers manga is on it's final arc right now, and the series has seen quite drastic changes to the characters and the plot as well. However, the plot twist that Tokyo Revengers: Chapter 256  has indicated might be the biggest one so far. During his fight with Kakucho, Takemichi had a vision and comes to know that Haruchiyo Sanzu is planning to kill everyone by running them over by a train. Takemichi and Kakucho form a temporary truce and go to stop Sanzu. After a few more events, Takemichi boards the train to stop Sanzu, and has another vision where Sanzu stabs him with his sword from behind. Takemichi quickly dodges this attack, which leave Sanzu wondering, as he had attacked from a complete blind spot and there was no way Takemichi could have dodged that. Sanzu then says, "Are you a Time Leaper too?" We didn't get to know what Sanzu really meant by this because he is then pushed off the train by Kakucho. What do you think? Could H...

Dragon Ball Super: Gas might not be the universe's strongest warrior

Gas is the most recent antagonist from the manga, and sure gave Goku, Vegeta, and Granolah a pretty hard time. Although most of us thought that he was the universe's strongest warrior as had been predicted by the Oracle Fish in Dragon Ball Super: Chapter 70,  recent events say that this might not be the case. After Vegeta transfers his remaining energy to him, Goku goes on to fight Gas, but is indeed stalling for time. He does so by teleporting to various different places and planets using Instant Transmission as Gas follows him. It is actually a trap, as our beloved Saiyan is slowly taking Gas away from the others. Goku finally takes Gas to Beerus' planet, where they meet Whis. Goku, having a greater prowess over Instant Transmission, teleports to Planet Cereal where the others are, leaving Gas with Whis. Whis, however, does not interfere and lets Gas leave. This takes place in Dragon Ball Super: Chapter 82. After Gas leaves, Whis makes a comment that G...
