Tokyo Revengers

## Tokyo Revengers *Tokyo Revengers* is a high-octane blend of time travel and delinquent gang action — a gripping premise executed with genuine emotional stakes and some of anime's most charismatic character designs. **Liden Films confirmed in May 2026 a prequel OVA series adapting *Anthology of a Bloody Halloween*, the arc detailing the Black Dragon gang's origins and Taiju Shiba's rise — targeted for late 2026 theatrical release in Japan.** Takemichi Hanagaki, a 26-year-old failure, discovers his middle school girlfriend Hinata Tachibana has been murdered by the Tokyo Manji Gang. When he is pushed onto train tracks and triggers a time leap back to middle school, he realizes he can change the past. Setting out to rise through the ranks of the Tokyo Manji Gang and steer its charismatic but volatile leader "Mikey" (Manjiro Sano) away from a criminal future, Takemichi must navigate gang wars, betrayals, and multiple timeline iterations to save the people he loves. The main series adapts the full manga run across three anime seasons (Toman, Christmas Showdown, Tenjiku). The newly announced *Bloody Halloween* prequel OVA — produced by Liden Films with the original voice cast — adapts the prequel arc that explains the Black Dragon gang's founding and the traumatic history between Taiju and Hakkai Shiba, essential context for understanding the main series' Christmas Showdown arc. Targeted for late 2026.
