Tokyo Revengers (東京リベンジャーズ)

Now that we're well into July,

the weather in China's heating up,

and so the air pressure is starting to bring

that warmth our way.

Already we're seeing overall temperatures

higher than last year all across the country.

The Kantou Koushin'etsu area and the Tokai region

will have clear, sunny, summery skies ahead.

And it will be hotter inland,

so beware of unexpected rainstorms

in areas near the mountains.

And that's it for the local weather.

Now a newsbreak.

The escalating dispute between the Tokyo Manji Gang

and its rivals is believed to have just claimed

several additional innocent victims.

Wait, seriously? That's insane.

Official word is being withheld

pending notification of next-of-kin.

But the two have been tentatively identified

as Naoto Tachibana, 25, from Shibuya, Tokyo.

Naoto Tachibana?

And another victim also from Shibuya,

Tachibana's older sister, Hinata Tachibana, 26 years old.

The Police Department is on high alert.

Did he really just say Hinata?

Apparently, my one and only girlfriend, Hinata Tachibana,

who I dated in middle school, is dead.

Hey, I know you're in there!

Oh, hi.

How many times do I have to tell you

to turn your damn TV down?

I can hear it a mile away!

Sorry about that.

Honestly, kids these days have no class.

Ugh.

Seriously, how many times do I have to tell you

the same thing before you get it, Takemichi?

Um.

DVDs need to go back on the shelves

as soon as they're returned.

I'm tired of telling you this.

-I'm sorry- -Yeah, yeah, I know.

All you ever are is sorry.

What a loser, huh?

Hey there, old dude.

Huh?

Have you got a problem, nerd?

Uh, sorry.

Oh, uh.

-(delinquent laughing) -(key scratching)

Oh!

Good luck, loser!

Huh.

Hey you, what're you doing there?

Ah!

I never expected that my life

would turn out like this.

Living in a crappy apartment with paper-thin walls.

Treated like an absolute moron by my manager,

who's younger than me.

Then those punks pick a fight with me

and I end up apologizing.

I've only had one girlfriend in my entire life,

and that was in middle school,

so to top it all off, I'm still a damn virgin.

Where the hell did I go wrong?

Huh?

-(train horn blaring) -(crowd shouting)

No!

In that moment when I thought I was going to die,

I didn't remember my parents or my friends.

I remembered Hinata Tachibana.

So we heard that Tachibana

has a really big crush on Hanagaki.

Super big!

Oh get real, dude. Why do they always like you?

What are you gonna do?

Some boys from another class came looking for you.

Oh don't give me that. I wouldn't even stand a chance.

Tachibana is super popular.

Thinking back, my second year in middle school

was really when I peaked.

I was number two in a kickass gang of second-years,

and that was the only time I ever had a girlfriend.

Is this like that thing where you see

your life flash before your eyes?

Shibuya. We've arrived in Shibuya.

Please make sure you have all of your belongings.

Oh, sorry.

Hey, Takemichi!

Oh.

You coming or what?

Ah. What?

What are you doing? Get off the train.

Oh yeah! I was, whoa! (panting)

Dude, what's your problem?

Whoa, talk about flashbacks!

Makoto, who couldn't keep his hands off his dick!

The fool Yamagishi, who thought wearing glasses

would make him smarter!

Our leader, Akkun!

And Takuya, who I knew since we were little!

Hey, Yamagishi, did you see this week's issue?

Hell yeah. That pinup was insane!

Yo guys, we're in public here, you know.

I'm starving.

You guys wanna get something to eat?

Yeah, I could go for a hamburger.

I've got a coupon.

Got enough for all of us?

Nope. The hell, man?

Huh?

What kind of stupid look is this?

Who the hell is this lame-looking punk?

It's me! It's me from middle school!

I was so lame!

But this was supposed to be when I peaked!

What's in my pockets?

A single 500-yen coin and a cellphone!

Yo, it's an old flip phone! Talk about memories!

Huh?

July 4th, 2005?

This is wrong.

Then that would mean,

one, two, three, four, and...

This is 12 years ago!

Hey, Takemichi!

Huh?

Come on. What the hell's wrong with you today?

Who knew seeing your life

flash before your eyes looked so realistic?

-(casual music) -(people chattering)

Seriously, Takemichi?

Is that all you ordered is fries? And only a small?

Yeah, still need dough for the ride home.

Ah, you would've got home somehow.

You know, it's lucky for us your cousin's the leader

of Shibuya Third Middle School, huh?

Hm?

So now if any third-year messes with us,

we just have to namedrop Masaru.

What?

My cousin?

Are they really talking about Masaru?

Hang on just a sec.

I have no idea what you're talking about.

What's so good about having Masaru around anyway?

Huh?

What? What did I say?

-Did you hit your head? -Are you nuts?

What's wrong with you today?

No, no, I'm all right.

Good 'cause we're gonna go start us a fight!

Huh!

Somebody's going down!

Come to think of it, Masaru did say

he was the leader at Shibuya Third Middle School.

My friends, we're gonna have us a little war

with the second-years at that school

that they'll never forget!

-Yeah! -What?

You guys wanna go over to their school

and fight them right now?

Uh.

Well, someone say something.

Yo, Takemichi, those guys all think we're wusses,

so we have to fight.

They think we're wusses? So what do we care?

Come on, dude, stop acting like you're scared of a fight.

Oh.

You're gonna give 'em all the old backfist

just like you always do, right?

The backfist?

Now you're getting all fired up aren't you?

Lead us into battle, Commander!

-Yay! -(table thuds)

Hey, save it for the fight!

Whoo!

Wait, wait, wait.

Shit is moving way too fast here!

But I do recall something like this happening.

I think we did talk to my cousin Masaru

about picking a fight at the school in Shibuya.

- Hey! -Huh?

You guys from Shibuya Third?

Uh, yeah we are.

What grade are you in then?

They're serious about this.

But fighting? I mean, really fighting?

I haven't fought anyone in like 10 years!

Shit! I might just piss myself!

We're just first-years,

so we don't know about the second-years.

What? You two are just first-years?

Either of you even got any pubes yet?

I don't get it.

Were the guys I hung out with always so aggressive?

Shit, I can't keep up!

I've gotta calm down.
