1998 - 1999

Mikey and Takemichi time leaped in this year. They are respectively 8 and 7 years old (inside: 17/18 and 27) and attend 2nd and 1st year of elementary school.

(It’s true that Takemichi has a mental age of 27, but this mental age freeze when he time leap. He doesn’t turn 40 even though he lived 19 years in the past. Takemichi is quite childish to begin with. Takemichi situation is not different from a reincarnation)

Takemichi and Mikey agree to save everyone to create a better future.

Takemichi becomes Mikey’s childhood friends —> he become close to Baji, Sanzu and Senju.

The plane incident didn’t happen —> Sanzu and Senju don’t develop a strain relationship, they even become quite close —> if Senju behave well, Takeomi has no reason to scold Sanzu

1999 - 2003

Takemichi is 2nd year elementary schooler.

Kakucho changed school because his family has to move (?) —> Takemichi can’t prevent the car incident (maybe he didn’t even know what happen to Kakucho parents to begin with) *The car incident happen when Kakucho was 3rd year elementary school (= a year after)

Mikey met Draken, probably the same way they meet in previous timeline.

Baji befriend Kazutora, in the meanwhile Mikey met Pah-chin.

All founding members of Toman met + Takemichi. They decide to create a gang.

The fire at Inui house

Since Inupi has not the scar anymore, it’s logic to presume the fire didn’t happen (maybe Inupi told Takemichi about how he get the scar).

Option 1: prevent the cause of the fire (quite impossible)

Option 2: prevent Inui siblings to be at home the day of the fire (more plausible)

The fire happen when Akane was an high schooler (age between 16 and 18). Since Akane is 5 years older than Inupi, he and Koko age were between 11 and 13. But since they didn’t wear an uniform, they were elementary schooler when the fire happen making them 11 or 12. So the year is presumably 2000 or 2001.

Supposing Takemichi and Mikey succeeded to prevent Inupi and Akane to be home, it didn’t change the fact that the house burn and Inui family have money problem.

To impress Akane, Koko began to study to make money, but in a more relaxed way (money didn’t become an obsession). In the meanwhile, Inupi was bored because Koko spent all his time to study. Then, he discovers Shinichiro shop, he enjoy to listen to Black Dragon stories and came to admire them.

Inupi became a delinquent under Izana. Koko start to worry about him. In the meantime, his feelings for Akane start to fade and he realise that it was only a crush (maybe because she is the female version of Inupi).

After getting released from juvie, Inupi involved Taiju to restore Black Dragons.

Izana situation

Shinichiro couldn’t find a good opportunity to introduce Izana to Mikey and kept postponing.

Izana still went to juvie and met S-62 generation, befriending them. After being released, he take over Black Dragons hoping to impress Shinichiro (?), but then retired and left his role to Shion.

Izana still discovers his true origins and fight with Shinichiro.

Since Shinichiro didn’t die, Izana was not depressed. Instead, he recruit the S-62 generation to create Tenjiku, with the purpose of creating a gang that surpassed Black Dragons and Toman.

Hina and Kisaki

How did Hina fall for Takemichi again?

Since Takemichi wanted to save Kisaki, too, I don’t think they met the same way.

Supposing the same situation happened (Hina trying to save the cat from some older guys), I think that Takemichi arrived bringing Kisaki, who was hiding, with him. They still lose the fight (Takemichi still have the body of a child) but he incite Kisaki to be less coward.

Hina start to have feelings for Takemichi mixed with a sense of deja vu (?). Kisaki start stalking Takemichi, but instead of be jealous of him, he start to admire him and his group of friends.

Kisaki is introduced to Toman’s founders.

2004 - 2006

Toman expanded. Chifuyu, Hakkai, Senju, etc. joined the gang.

Takemichi is a middle schooler and he met Akkun and his original group of friends.

Toman got bigger by including minor gang they defeat. Hanma joined because his gang lose to Toman (?). Maybe Kisaki convince him to betray his gang and so they became friends.

Since Toman has become bigger, the division system was introduced (?). I like to think that Takemichi became acting captain after some achievement (maybe he was a staff member like Kisaki at the beginning).

Valhalla didn’t happen, since Kisaki is a good guy. But there could have been a situation in which Takemichi and Chifuyu need to collaborate. Just because Takemichi and Mikey time leaped together and share the same mission, that doesn’t mean there are no disagreements between them.

Maybe it’s in this occasion that Chifuyu began to have deja vu and remembers the past timeline.

By the way, Chifuyu still met Baji the same way and instead of helping him with a letter for Kazutora, he helped him with homework.

Also, Kazutora and Takemichi attended the same middle school, right? They could have become closer.

How did Toman absorb Black Dragons and Tenjiku?

According to me, it would be interesting to have a “Three Deities” situation with Toman, Black Dragons and Tenjiku as the main three gangs.

It makes sense, because we see Mikey announce to former Black Dragons and Tenjiku that they are members of Toman in the same moment.

So, during this “Three Deities Battle”, Hakkai (helped by Mitsuya and Takemichi?) confront Taiju and maybe Yuzuha arrived, too (similar situation of Christmas arc, with the difference it’s not Christmas, they are not in a church and Taiju didn’t only have Inupi and Koko by his side).

On the other side, Mikey confronts Izana. Probably, before getting to Izana, Toman has to fight the S-62 generation. Then, when Mikey gets to Izana, Shinichiro arrived and welcome him into the family.

At the end of the battle, all conflicts are resolved and the two gangs merged into Toman. I don’t know what role Takemichi had and how he could (theoretically) be in both Black Dragon and Tenjiku conflict, but his achievements earned him the role of acting captain.

South

South moved to Japan more or less in this period. He probably heard about Toman being the strongest gang and declare war at them.

Since dark impulse from Mikey are gone, South is probably not influenced by them (it’s the curse that aggravate others kind of impulse, like violence).

In the end, South and Mikey develop a sort of friendly rival relationship. South didn’t join Toman, but still gave up gangs to become a martial artist abroad.

Disbandment

South is not the final opponent. Probably the final opponent are the 1st generation Black Dragons. This could explain Takeomi, Waka and Benkei involvement.

For Toman to become the best, they have to surpass the legends. It’s difficult to imagine Shinichiro and Mikey fight, but Sanzu vs. Takeomi is not impossible. And Senju vs. Waka and/or Benkei would be interesting. Since she trains at their gym, it would be a fight between teachers and student.

After defeating 1st generation Black Dragons, Toman conquer the country achieving Mikey’s original dream.

Afterwards (everyone relationship and job)

After Toman disbandment, some characters went to high school (high school is not mandatory in Japan) while others start to look for a job.

Takemichi: he went to high school with his middle schools friends, Chifuyu and Hakkai. Probably he and Chifuyu are still close (not sure if Takemichi know that Chifuyu remembers deja vu). I like to think that Takemichi didn’t start going out with Hina until after Toman disbandment. Takemichi has a mission to save everyone, he can’t redo the past anymore, so he prefers to stay friends with her.

Hina: she didn’t give up her feelings for Takemichi. Maybe she keeps contact with Kisaki and Kisaki encourage her to pursue her feelings.

Naoto: Hina talk about Takemichi a lot to him and at the first opportunity she introduced Takemichi to him. Maybe like Chifuyu, Naoto has some deja vu and that pushed him to study occult.

Mikey and Draken: they are still close and work together with bikes. Thus, Mikey became a racer and Draken his mechanic.

Mitsuya: obviously, he became a fashion designer.

Hakkai: he attended one of Mitsuya contest and was scouted to be a model. He began to get more works, but since he can’t manage his schedule, Yuzuha became his manager.

Taiju: like in Manila timeline, he has his chain of restaurants.

Pah-chin and Peh-yan: have the same job as in Bonten timeline.

Baji: his dream is to have a pet shop, but studying is not his forte.

Kazutora: probably didn’t continue his studying.

Chifuyu: he realize that becoming a pilot is difficult and expensive. He help Baji with studying and start to like to work with animals.

Kisaki: he is smart and attended a private school. For him was easy to become rich, but when it comes to deal with money, Koko is better than him.

Koko: making money is his talent. He doesn’t have a toxic obsession with money, but since he study economy since he was young (only my speculation), being good in making money is natural for him.

Shinichiro and Inupi: work at a bike shop.

Waka and Benkei: still have they gym

Akashi siblings: for Sanzu and Senju making video started as a hobby, but then they became popular and Takeomi decide to making them into celebrities.

Izana and Kakucho: work hard to achieve their dream and create an organization to help orphans.

Mucho, Mocchi and Shion: they keep following Izana, so they work at his organization.
