When the first season ended, fans felt endless frustration because of the massive cliffhanger of the last episode that left many questions unanswered. This is why the hype around this anime is insane, and we are sure it will live up to it.

Tokyo Revengers Season 2 Episode 9 Review and Recap – The Stronger Monster
Another episode of Tokyo Revengers is here, and we are back again with a review of how this episode went. Today’s episode starts from the point when Mikey enters the scene of the Christmas showdown. The moment he enters, he seems pretty disoriented about everything. When Mitsuya explains the situation, Mikey starts to ramble about his brother and Baji. Even Takemichi starts to think Mikey has finally lost it, and he might turn evil slowly from here. But later, we see Mikey acting fine, confessing he was only remembering his brother and Baji earlier, nothing else.
The main highlight of this episode is definitely the clash between Mikey and Taiju. Honestly speaking, many of us predicted that Mikey would be able to defeat Taiju completely, and he did exactly that. Though Taiju landed a pretty fatal punch on Mikey, the next kick from him knocked Taiju out cold for some time. Even after he got up to continue the fight, he could barely stand on his two feet without help. He then orders Koko to go outside and call his guys to start an all-out brawl between the Black Dragons and Toman, but that plan got foiled as Draken already took care of all his men.
When we got a back story about how Taiju became the new leader of Black Dragon after beating Inupi, we never really thought that he would be defeated so easily. But it is just that Mikey is a more powerful and deadlier monster than him, who might just be the strongest character of this anime.
In this episode, in the beginning, Takemichi gets scared that something is going on with Mikey, as he remembers what Hakkai told him before about Mikey being psychologically affected by the death of Baji. Even though Takemichi later got relieved after hearing Mikey’s explanation, I believe there is more to it than what is being shown now. There is really something happening with Mikey which might not result in good things for anyone associated with him.
Verdict
All in all, I really enjoyed this episode and loved every bit of the badassery showcased here. Now only time will tell whether this helps Takemichi’s future or not. Watch this anime on Hulu.
