“Domain Expansion: Chimera Shadow Garden!”

I mean, is about time (?!?!?!)

Okay so I was checking the inside covers of some volumes of Tokyo Revengers (16 and 23 to be specific here) aaaaand...

Look at this one.

This one makes a lot of sense, right. (He has no neck.) Because Naoto getting alive in the future was a change Takemichi made in the past. And the one that saved him of dying from being hit by a train. Naoto is his guide and his link to the new future in every arc. They both also share the same resolution: Save Hinata Tachibana with all their will.

And in volume 16 we weren't even in the last arc like.... now.

So the kid and the train. The plot. Makes sense, right?

Okay.

Okay...

So... Can anybody please explain me this sh*t?????

What the hell... is this dude. DOING. in a f*cking train station, sitting like a f*cking king (that he is). Like seriously, why this now we are reaching the end??? What the f*ck.

Is Hanma actually related to Takemichi's first death? Did he tried to avoid it because he was bored to... death(?)Is he a link to the futures too????

It makes me think Hanma is truly a Shinigami, I mean, a god of death in the japanese culture and folclore. Look how is he dressed, and how he was called a zombie. How the kanjis 'Sin' and 'Punishment' are tattooed on his left and right hands.

And Shuji's surname Hanma means "half" (半) (han) and "while, time, interval, space" (間) (ma).

Someone who lives between two worlds.

His character is a mystery for all of us. Because in the end, he lost Kisaki (and also cried for him) and had to be a fugitive for years. The battle that we are witnessing right now occurs at the same time that Hanma is visiting Kisaki's grave.

So I really hope we can see him again. And that he finally tells us the story of the Joker.... and the Shinigami that he was talking about in Kisaki's grave. Even if he used to refer to Kisaki as the Shinigami and the joker, himself... What if the Shinigami was himself in realise. And what is he gonna do.... Now the joker is dead.

Wait what's that on Takemichi's wall?

Beware the mad dog? Who's nickname is that again?

hello anon, I'm sorry for answering this a bit late since I wanted to go back to the chapter and reread the scene just to see if I'd pick up anything or something..

since you brought this up, it's interesting if we look at it with the theory about Mikey being the second time leaper, if not, then something time related (could be some sort of a foresight that looks further into the future, even more than michi's perhaps), because we see how in every future Mikey lost everyone, living in pain and feels like he's being punished. another thing, Mikey accurately guessed his friend's futures in his letter.

although my money is still on Hanma being the second time leaper but sure this is a possibility. especially with Mikey asking him if he’s really a middle schooler when he first saw him in Chapter 3. Considering the fact that they NEVER met in the original timeline, It could be one of wakui’s hints.

but if our suspicions are out of place, otherwise it would only be because Kiyomasa was practicing in-fights, which is forbidden. and made us think that Mikey had to step in to stop them (although Draken did all the work hehe)

spoilers ahead!!

Sanzu is one of the time leapers and he is not as loyal to Mikey as it seems… He seemed very loyal to Mucho and yet he unalived him.

Also, his name. The one he chose for himself: Sanzu. It comes from the name of the river the souls must cross after they die.

If Sanzu is a time leaper he may have chosen that name because of what he wishes to accomplish during his return to the past.

Remember when he said to mucho that he told him from the start was he was going to do? Meaning he already knew Mucho was a traitor long before unaliving him, maybe Mikey knew too and put him on 5th division because of that(they likely have known each other for quite sometime considering their older brothers friendship).

But if Mikey didn’t know, which I think makes more sense, Sanzu knew about it from some other source: the future! And maybe killing Mucho was essential to whatever he wants in the present.

He might even have gone back to the past to a time before Takemichi’s first leap back.

Now, to his outfit on that last poster: scorpion and lotus flowers… both have almost antagonist meanings to each other, meaning that Sanzu is unpredictable.

And we should also remember that if Sanzu is the passage people must cross after death, he has no loyalties, he simply does what must be done. Or he believes himself to be above everything and everyone since death is the only certainty we have in life.

By believing himself to be such a powerful entity he might be just using Mikey. Sanzu is cunning, manipulative and violent(a violence that might be waaaay too much for his age and peers, unless the Sanzu that kills Mucho is actually in his 20’s and a time leaper). And why use mikey? Well, he is a strong and charismatic person, why not use him?

You might think: if he is using Mikey then why was he so worried when he jumped? Well… cause that would ruin whatever plans he had.

Now, how he time leaps? I haven’t thought of that hahah but if you have any idea, please share!

Anyways, I do belive Sanzu might be a lot more than we think. All the Akashi siblings actually.

Also, I believe he unalives Senju.

Hello everyone, after a good while, I feel inspired again to update analysis and theories, therefore, let’s talk about something very sensitive, this character analysis will dwell around Mikaela Hyakuya, therefore, let’s begin!

P.S: Analysis are held within a neutral view and ships are excluded

Mikaela Hyakuya is known to be as one of the characters carrying a painful life ever since he was a child; many might know that his parents weren’t the best one for him, along the fact they were followers of the Hyakuya Sect. Of course, there was a time of blessing for him since he was able to find a beautiful family filled with kids; that made him feel responsible for them, specially when Yu arrived to his life and the vampires appeared.

It could be said that, despite the outcome of his childhood life, he was able to smile again thanks to the help of the Hyakuya orphanage kids along Yu’s arrival which only increased that happiness within him:

Of course, such happiness and peace didn’t last forever due to the arrival of the virus and the vampires; such events only made them become food for the vampires, they were gathered in order to keep them in order to not lose resources, and of course, such events would unleash a tragedy, a tragedy that would crush the minds of two kids, being Mika and Yu:

As many might recall, we’ve seen Yu’s side but, what about Mikaela?

After Mikaela became a vampire, his happy demanor changed drastically, as a half vampire, he was disgusted with himself, he hated living with the curse he was imposed with even if such curse would lead him to meet Yu again, but within this, he saw the hidden truth of the world, which was about how humans performed secret experiments which eventually would lead him to not trust humans:

But within this, after reuniting with Yu, he aimed to live, he aimed to trust even a little the humans Yu labeled as family; but of course, due to his distrustful nature along the fact of what happened in the past, he wasn’t able to open up to them, he wasn’t able to communicate better with Yu’s friend even if they respected him and treated him as an equal.

Within the short period lived with the squad, he did grow to the point he did care about what they thought and decided. Mika could have taken different paths against them but at the end, he followed them and walked down as a family even if he couldn’t forget his first important family.

After some time, Mika would fight all together with the squad when it came to face down enemies; and of course, within the story, we’d see his hate towards Guren Ichinose, which, to certain extend is justified since he only saw one side of Guren in the whole story, he didn’t see the side Yu managed to see back when he was rescued or picked up outside of the vampire capital.

It could be said that, before the tragedy, Mika’s mentality was all focused on protecting his last remaining family and important person. All he aimed was to have a bit of peace instead of fighting aimlessly, but of course things went down. Peace wasn’t something that could be achieved easily.

But, when exactly were we able to grasp Mika’s mental health or rather what he felt towards his own self?

The first time we were able to see his real emotions were back in this panel:

Image taken from Seraph of the End: Vampire Reign - Chapter 89

Back when they were fighting against Guren, Mika aimed to unleash a powerful attack towards Guren, of course, Guren’s plan was to halt him but that did only the opposite, Mika kept going until he released all the blood his body harbored in order to save Yu, but within this, there’s something to be cleared, what could it be?

Correct. Mika never saw himself as someone righteous, but rather, as a disgusting creature, someone who lost his chance to live the same way as Yu did, someone who lost the power to label himself as human even if his “heart” was human like (a metaphor dear readers, Mika’s emotions were human despite his vampire state)

After these events, Mika became a demon, and of course, this takes over a theory I updated 2 months ago:

OnS Theories (17S). Twelfth Theory - Mikaela’s Samsara and Demon Mikaela (Sad Theory)

The demon Mikaela awoke as a demon without memories, he awoke as someone who aimed to feed on human desires to sustain a dream world on which he gazed upon a small family living happily taking care of each other, even if he didn’t recall who he was at that time, he was happy gazing at them:

And of course, as I stated in the theory linked in there, Mikaela’s world or samsara is made out of what his heart truthfully wished, a world on which he could be happy with his family, but, of course, the price for it is to destroy his memories of who he was in order gaze upon an unreachable dream.

The world his soul resided happily is a reflection of what he couldn’t protect back when he was alive, and this is heavily exploted in the latest chapter in a very gruesome way:

Image taken from Seraph of the End: Vampire Reign - Chapter 101

After the demons invaded Mikaela’s samsara, the demon Mikaela wasn’t able to keep the fight against those 3, allowing Asuramaru reach what he aimed to protect, thus leading to a small chase until he managed to unveil what Mika desired the most, which is to receive all the blame of his decisions.

But what does this represent?

This represents the huge and damaged heart, mind and soul Mikaela has. 

In terms of his heart, he couldn’t cope over the fact that he wasn’t strong enough to protect the kids he loved the most, including Yu; he knew from the depthness of his heart that he simply allowed everything happen without thinking when us as readers are aware the fact that Ferid Bathory is smarter than Mika, that he always had the upperhand against him.

In terms of his mind, he feels deep regret, he feels rage towards his own self and disgust of what he ended up becoming, he hates the fact that he ended up leading his family to a trap on which they’d lose their life; he hates the fact he got turned into a vampire and that is heavily reflected by how he sees himself as a vampire in previous chapters; and most of all, he feels like a total failure for not being able to rescue the last member of his family which is Yu; what do I mean?

He feels he failed to protect Yu from the experiments; their escape only lead him to think everything ended up as misfortune.

As for his soul, his soul only desired to get a happy time with his family, but the fact that regret and grief filled it instead of something positive, it only made him think of mentally punish himself, he constantly gave dark thoughts about humans, about vampires, and mostly about himself, he reached a point on which his mental health tore apart and what only kept him going was the fact Yu was his only family left from the one that saved him from despair.

The fact that he finally broke down in the recent chapter shows all the pain he has carried within himself:

Image taken from Seraph of the End: Vampire Reign - Chapter 101

Despite the fact that the demon Mikaela has no memories of himself, and the reason is because he views what his soul wished for at the loss of his memories, but the fact that he ended up crying reflects a lot what his inner self always felt, that despair of not being able to save up what he wished to protect, for alwayss being weak.

The fact that Mika’s life has been a constant torture and samsara, on which he reached a point of drowning on his dark thoughts, reflects how much he has endured deep within his heart.

It can be said that, Mikaela Hyakuya/Shindo is a guy with a tender heart that always worries about those who he cares the most, but the fact that the scenarios he has faced ended up taking away what he loved, has only destroyed and shattered him slowly to pieces in an endless circle of pain and constant torture.

Of course, as any samsara, this one will be shattered.

What do you think dear readers? 

Let me know!
