Tokyo Revengers Season 2 Episode 7 Review and Recap – Never Back Down
Another episode of Tokyo Revengers is here, and we are back again with a review of how this episode went. This episode starts from the moment Taiju tearfully decides that he will have to kill his sister. He really is not right in the head as he professors his love for his family and at the same time, thinks that it is best to end Yuzuha’s life.
When Takemichi reprimands him as to why he would do this to his own siblings, Taiju counters him by saying that she is the one who tried to stab him in the first place, so it is fair that he, too, beats her to death.
Seeing that Hakkai is too scared of his brother to even move to protect his sister, Takemichi decides to step up himself and as usual, gets beaten. Thankfully by that time, Mitsuya comes in and saves both Takemichi and Yuzuha for the time being. Then he starts to fight Taiju, where he is not getting beaten like Takemichi but is not causing any damage to Taiju either. Chifuyu finally joins the group as well, as he too gets released by Mitsuya.
It was Chifuyu who called Mitsuya without telling Takemichi as a backup if Kisaki decided to betray them as he did. But that is not all, Inui attacks Mitsuya from behind, and Kokonoi joins Taiju’s side, turning the course of the fight completely against Takemichi and his friends.
After all the main characters come into the scene, begins the primary brawl. And by the end of the episode, one thing was clear there is definitely a secret behind Hakkai’s fear of Taiju, which disables him to challenge his brother in a fair fight. We also see another display of Takemichi’s courage which reestablishes his only redeeming quality, and that is to never give up in the face of peril.
Verdict
As this episode continues the fight between the Shiba siblings without giving us any ultimate conclusion, it feels a little lengthy. There are questions that they have not given any answers to yet, so it is a tad frustrating in the end to think that we will have to wait another week to know what will be the conclusion of this entire fight. Watch this anime on Hulu.
