Tokyo Revengers Season 2 is set to release on August 16th, 2019. The new season will follow the team as they try to stop Thanos from taking over the universe. The first episode of the season will air on August 15th. The cast of Tokyo Revengers Season 2 includes Chris Evans, Scarlett Johansson, Mark Ruffalo, Jeremy Renner, and Don Cheadle. The new season is set to be much darker than the first one and will explore the dark side of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

A unique new anime called “Tokyo Revengers,” which just finished airing Season 1 in September 2021, has grabbed the attention of many viewers through its story of a young man who time travels back in time 12 years in order to infiltrate a gang in Tokyo and save his friends’ lives.

The anime is based on the super popular manga of the same name written and illustrated by Ken Wakui, which began in 2017 and is still ongoing. With such a successful first season, fans are eager to find out all there is to know about the second season.

What is the release date of Tokyo Revengers Season 2?

The first season of “Tokyo Revengers” aired from April 11, 2021 to September 19, 2021. So it hasn’t been long since Season 1 ended. Still, fans want to know when the story will continue. As of right now, there has been no official announcement about whether or not “Tokyo Revengers” will have another season. But, given its extreme success so far, it seems likely that the anime will be returning with new episodes.

While the “Tokyo Revengers” anime has done very well on its own. Also, it’s made the manga even more successful, with The Cinemaholic reporting that the series was “the third best-selling series in the first half of 2021- just behind ‘Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba’ and ‘Jujutsu Kaisen.’” 

With a second season of “Tokyo Revengers” all but certain, fans of the action anime can likely expect to see Season 2 premiere sometime in mid-to-late 2022. Production on the first season didn’t take too long, and it’s entirely possible that Season 2 is already in development but not yet public knowledge. Although 2022 seems like a safe bet for the return of “Tokyo Revengers,” the latest fans might see the second season is probably early 2023. 

What characters will be back in the anime’s second season?

The main character introduced at the start of “Tokyo Revengers” is a 26-year-old man named Takemichi Hanagaki who is unemployed and living an unhappy life. But most of the story takes place 12 years earlier. When Takemichi is 14 years old and becomes involved in the Tokyo Manji Gang, also known as Toman. The gang is led by the unpredictable yet charming 15-year-old Manjiro Sano, better known by his nickname Mikey, who is always accompanied and protected by his friend Draken, another key member of Toman. 

Toman has a lot of members who make an appearance in the anime, but there are a few boys in high positions who have more of a main role in the unfolding drama. There’s Chifuyu Matsuno, the vice captain of the first division of Tomen, Keisuke Baji, a founding member of the gang and captain of the first division, Takashi Mitsuya, the captain of the second division, and other active members like Atsushi Sendo, Makoto Suzuki, and Kazushi Yamagishi, among others.

What will Tokyo Revengers Season 2 be about ?

At the beginning of “Tokyo Revengers,” Takemichi is 26 years old with nothing going for him. But then he finds out that his ex-girlfriend, Hinata Tachibana, and her younger brother have been killed by the Tokyo Manji Gang. Takemichi is devastated. But then he gets the chance to change everything when he is suddenly transported back in time 12 years. Takemichi uses this opportunity to warn Hinata, and when he returns to the present day, she is still alive. Unfortunately, his actions have caused other unforeseen issues. 

From then on, Takemichi is able to travel back and forth between the present and 12 years earlier, doing everything he can to gain influence in Toman and stop many violent events from ever happening. But the gang can be unpredictable and treacherous, and Takemichi is definitely in over his head. At the end of the anime’s first season, Takemichi learns that he has been picked to lead the first division. Which is good news, but then the audience is left with an intense cliffhanger that leaves Takemichi’s life in the balance.

While it seems safe to assume that Takemichi is not dead, Season 2 will likely pick up where Season 1 left off. With Takemichi right in the middle of a very dangerous situation involving other members of the gang. 

Profit And Sales Details Of Tokyo Revengers Season 2

Now let’s get to the real deal, ladies and gentlemen. This is time to talk about SALES.

Anime is made to make money. And if an anime successfully fulfills this purpose then the chances of it getting another season would skyrocket.

Let’s see what Tokyo Revengers has under its sleeve with regards to this.

Manga Sales

Ok, let me just state some facts here and you guys decide if Tokyo Revengers had enough manga sales or not.

Let’s go! Before the release of the anime, Tokyo Revengers had around 8 million copies (circulation).

Within a month, this number went from 8 million to 15 million! And just a week after that, the total sales reached a whopping 17 million.

And by September 26, the total copies in circulation reached an astonishing 40 MILLION! Moreover, each volume has had more than a million copies in circulation and received multiple reprints.

However, more is still being demanded nonetheless. And did I mention that it broke Attack On Titan’s record of being the highest-selling manga in a year by Kodansha?

Topping the Pricing lists multiple times, winning the 44th Kodansha Manga Award, and showing insane sales growth is just part and parcel with Tokyo Revengers.

Now YOU decide if it has enough money for another season or not. By the way, a few websites might claim that the anime was made to boost the Manga’s popularity. So, another season won’t happen like in the case of No Game No Life.

Blu-Ray/Dvd Sales

Let’s look at the Blu-Ray sales. These contribute a good amount to the income of an anime.

And Tokyo Revengers had some decent numbers going for it in this segment. The sales of the first volumes were 2942, 3616, 4292, and 4513, respectively.

This goes to show that the sales numbers of this anime kept on going up.

It makes sense that these numbers are not THAT high despite being a super popular series because the anime was available on other streaming services.

Even godly shows like Attack On Titan don’t have such numbers going for them because people are switching to online streaming.

And with that in mind, Tokyo Revengers had great Blu-ray sales overall.

Others

Tokyo Revengers had a few other methods of income as well. Merchandise doesn’t contribute a significant portion to its wealth because of how novel this anime is.

The live-action, however, was definitely a success as it had a box office collection of $39,563,158, making it the most successful live-action of 2021 and the 28th most successful movie of 2021.

That’s quite some money, don’t you think? And did I mention the licensing fees for streaming services?

Heck, the bets for the license would go off the roof knowing that the anime is so popular.

So yeah, I can say it, with ultimate confidence, that Tokyo Revengers has way more money than it needs for another season.

Even if you remove all the other factors, the manga sales themselves are more than enough for the next season to show up.

So in terms of making money, this anime did way too well.

Famous Characters To Reappear In Tokyo Revengers Season 2

Now let’s take a look at the characters that might return in the next season of Tokyo Revengers.

Takemichi

Our boy is bound to make his reappearance in the next season mainly because he has sworn to be the leader of Toman.

His dedication and willpower to achieve what he wants are what made Mikey develop a liking towards him.

And that is why we would love to see our boy in the upcoming installments.

Mikey

Mikey is the one who stole the show as well as fans’ hearts. My man can literally defeat anyone with just one kick yet has no ego or attitude at all.

Anyone who has watched the anime knows that he is the center of all the activities that take place in the series and THAT is why his reappearance will shape the direction of the anime.

Draken

Draken is yet another show snatcher who gained massive popularity over time. He is not only big but also loyal and humble.

And this is why he is the ideal partner of Mikey. Moreover, his contribution to the overall story is so crucial that his death decides the future of the entire Japan.

Oh yeah, he is an important man and that is why he will show up next season as well.

We might also see characters like Chifuyu, Kisaki, Hinata, and some unknown characters like Haitani Brothers and Black Dragon Gang in the next season.

Although it depends on how long the anime will be, we can rest assured that these guys will get the screen time they deserve.

Other Decisive Factors For Tokyo Revengers Season 2

Now let’s quickly take a look at some final factors that could potentially make or break the possibility of Tokyo Revengers season 2.

First up is the climax.

Ending Of Tokyo Revengers Season 1

If an anime ends with a definite conclusion then the chances for the next season decrease drastically.

So is that the case with Tokyo Revengers as well? Let’s find out. Tokyo Revengers season 1 ended with a cliffhanger when Kisaki supposedly shot Takemichi in the head.

This all takes place when Takemichi returns to the new future he created. Now the gunshot was not shown hitting Takemitchi.

Therefore, it might be possible that someone shot Kisaki and it was the sound of THAT gun instead of Kisaki’s gun.

Moreover, everything is not happy yet. And as you all know, if it’s not happy, it’s not the end.

Plus, the manga has a lot more material to cover so content isn’t the issue here as well.

Therefore, the series has a great opening for the next season to take up from.

In other words, the ending of Tokyo Revengers shouldn’t be any hurdle in the process and placement of season 2.

That’s some great news if you ask me.

Controversy Around Tokyo Revengers

Okay now, this is an interesting segment. You see, Tokyo Revengers is actually a censored anime that had a few alterations in versions.

However, these alterations were not about blood or gore. Instead, these alterations took place because of the Tokyo Manji Gang symbol.

You see, the Manji symbol in the flag of Toman is the symbol of good fortune in Buddhism.

And that was what the symbol represented. However, some people mistook the Manji symbol for the Swastika used by Nazis during World War 2.

Therefore, a lot of controversies were summoned up regarding that symbol, and eventually, it was decided that the Manji symbol will be censored to avoid any conflict.

Now, this is in fact a controversy. There’s no doubt about it. But is it major enough to cancel a sequel?

No, I don’t think so! Unlike extreme violence or NSFW content, this controversy was based on misinterpretation so it shouldn’t be THAT decisive.

Either way, they can avoid the usage of flags in the next season or just censor it whenever they do.

So we can say that this controversy won’t act as a hurdle in the making of Tokyo Revengers season 2.

Conclusion

To sum it all up, we can rest assured that Tokyo Revengers is going to get another season for sure.

Until some internal conflict within the staff doesn’t take place, this anime will have a second season.

The sales, popularity, and reviews are all so positive that there is NO way it doesn’t get another season.

So all my Tokyo Revengers fans, just relax and wait. Soon you will get to know about the announcement and then the season itself.

It’s a matter of time. Anyway, I hope you enjoyed reading this article. Until next time, Sayonara!
