The anticipation for the third season of the immensely popular anime “Tokyo Revengers” is palpable. The show that has taken the world by storm is gearing up for another intriguing ride through time with our hero, Takemichi. Given its passionate fanbase and the excitement that surrounds every new release, here’s an in-depth look at what fans can expect from Tokyo Revengers’ latest installment.
Release Date: No More Long Waits
Tokyo Revengers‘ second season might have been brief, but fans are set for a treat as the third season is just around the corner. The upcoming season is slated for a release in October 2023.
A teaser trailer that surfaced in June spilled the beans.
Considering the nearly two-year gap between the first two seasons, this is indeed a delightful surprise. The brevity of the second season – with only 12 episodes compared to the first season’s 25 – could explain this expedited release. Speculation is rife about season three also being on the shorter side.
The Cast: Returning Voices and Familiar Faces
Audiences will be thrilled to know that the iconic lineup of juvenile delinquents, who have garnered significant attention and acclaim, will be back in action. Their familiar voices behind these characters are set to return:
- Takemichi Hanagaki will once again be voiced by Yūki Shin.
- The charismatic Manjirō Sano (Mikey) will have Yū Hayashi behind the mic.
- Other returning voice actors include Junya Enoki for Inui Seishu, Natsuki Hanae for Kokonoi Hajime, Tasuku Hatanaka as Hakkai Shiba, Nobunaga Shimazaki voicing Izana Kurokawa, and Tetsu Inada for Kanji Mochizuki.

The Plot: A Glimpse into the Tenjiku Arc
Delving into the Tenjiku arc – the manga’s penultimate story – season three promises twists and turns that will leave fans on the edge of their seats. Takemichi’s newest venture into the present reveals (unsurprisingly) another deviation from his desired outcome.
The Tenjiku gang’s declaration of war on the Manji gang spells turmoil for Mikey and his allies.
With the Tenjiku arc’s vital position in the overarching narrative of Tokyo Revengers and the manga’s conclusion in 2022 at thirty-one volumes, the end of this season might hold some monumental developments. Furthermore, should there be a fourth season, it might bid the final adieu to Takemichi’s escapades.
Teaser Trailer Insights
For those hungry for a sneak peek,
a short teaser was released in June.
Though exclusively in Japanese and devoid of English subtitles, it has nonetheless piqued interest. The trailer unveils glimpses of Takemichi, Mikey, villains like Kisaki Tetta, Izana Kurokawa, and provides a snapshot of the Tenjiku Gang members.
Where to Catch Up?
For fans looking to revisit previous seasons or newcomers eager to dive into the Tokyo Revengers universe, season two is streaming on Disney+ and Crunchyroll.
With the new season’s impending release, the enthusiasm and speculations are at an all-time high. All signs point to another riveting journey with Tokyo Revengers. Buckle up!
