Official Announcement! As mentioned, the official announcement of Tokyo Revengers Season 3 was made on April 1, 2023, a day before the premiere of the final episode. It was through the official pages, like the website and Twitter page, that the next season got its first announcement. However, apart from an announcement, there was a lack of any poster or teaser from any of the show-runners. There sure was a teaser visual as a promo out in the public domain. You can check out the short trailer right here.
What Is The Production Upto? It was Studio Liden Films that was behind the animation and production of the first and the second seasons. It has only been a decade since the company started production. However, even in such a short time, the company has been able to make a name for itself. Not only Tokyo Revengers, but some other better banners associated with this firm are also Cells At Work and Goblin Slayer 2. So far, the schedule suggests that the company releases around five to ten shows in a year.
However, for the year 2023, seven shows are already on the list for the company. No other movie or OVA is on the list. This means that there is room to hear more announcements from Liden Films. And with the official trailer being released, it’s clear that the show has already wrapped up its production. Perhaps it has entered the post-production stage.
Tokyo Revengers Season 3: What Will Happen Next? The last we saw in the second season was when Takemichi finally learns about the betrayal of Kisaki. And when Mikey hears about this, he is the first one to remove him from that group. With this, everyone was looking forward to what was the way ahead for them and their gang. But hearing about this decision, Hanma, Moebius, and Valhalla were the first people to leave the group on their own terms. The men with them were quick to follow suit and see the gang coming down to a smaller number.
With this, the Tokyo Manji gang had 350 members less than there would be. This is the opening point for the Tenjiku arc. Here, the story commences with Takemichi coming back to the present. He thinks that most of the conflict has been resolved. However, he finds in the real timeline that Tenjiku is a newer gang that has been emerging from the sidelines while they are away. This is a Yokohama gang that has emerged as the rival for the Tokyo Manji.
With the roll-out of events, this gang will call war upon the Tokyo Manji gang, knowing that they are on the verge of breakout at this point. Here, the war is to begin, and we see a lot of destruction and death at this point. It will be interesting to see how the events unfold at this point in time.
Is There Enough Source Material? With the announcement of all the parts, it is clear that there is enough content for the third season to come. For context, the Tokyo Revengers Manga came out in 2017. By the time the manga ended on November 16, 2022, it had garnered unparalleled success in a lot of domains. In these five years, a total of thirty-one volumes have been released by Kodansha. In addition to this, the total number of chapters in the manga is 278.
The two seasons of the anime were comprised of 37 episodes in total. However, they only ended up using the first 125 chapters of the text. With this, it is evident that only half of the content has been used in the story. This means that not only will there be a third season, but there will also be a season after this. As announced, the Tenjiku Arc will be the next plot for the story. After this, there is the final arc, titled the same. This brings the final conclusion to the story of Tokyo Revengers.
Reddit Discussions & Analysis! Discussion threads started forming as soon as the announcement of the first arc was made. With the release of the teaser, there was a streak of fans discussing the final release date of the episodes. The July 2024 slate has the highest bids from viewers. However, a pool of fans suggests that they should be waiting for some time until the final announcement takes place. In addition to this, the perks and easter eggs are discussed throughout the story.
There were little changes in the entire plot of the anime. And now, the changes in the chronology and the events taking place during the war. While the manga follows normal pacing and a series of events, it is the anime that chooses to play with the story in order to build essential suspense. It will be interesting to see how much of the speculations and theories by fans come true with the release of Tokyo Revengers Season 3.
Official Trailer Is Out! In June 2023, the anime’s official YouTube channel dropped the uncensored trailer of Tokyo Revengers Season 3. As for the uncensored one, the trailer features the manji symbol, which has been cut from the previous season. It is because it resembles the swastika, though it’s different from it. Thus, to avoid hurting the religious sentiment, the symbol has been removed. But not from the trailer below. As for the storyline, the previously released teaser featured a glimpse of Izana Kurokawa and Kisaki Tetta, while the minute-long trailer delved into more depth.
The new trailer hints at the new gang rivalry, which later escalates the matter, leading to the rise of gang war. Not to forget, the center theme will continue to play a significant role in Tokyo Revengers Season 3 as Takemichi continues to save his friends. But some changes will take place in the anime after the “Kanto Incident.”
Tokyo Revengers Season 3: Release Date Although the third season has been announced, the final release date is yet to come to the screens. The first two seasons had their releases in the Spring of 2021 and Winter of 2023, respectively. Based on the release pattern, Tokyo Revengers Season 3 will be released somewhere around the Winter 2024 slate. Right now, none of these claims have been verified. Any changes in the schedule will be mentioned only in this space. Thus, keep an eye on The Anime Daily for more updates right here.
