That's the hot topic among many Tokyo Revengers fans after chapter 253 reveals a mind-blowing secret Takemichi just uncovered.
In stark contrast to the previous intense atmosphere, Tokyo Revengers chapter 253 witnesses key members of Tokyo Manji second-generation being systematically defeated. It's understandable as Mikey, Hanma, and the duo Benkei and Waka are all too powerful for their opponents on the other side of the battlefield.

However, what took many Tokyo Revengers readers by surprise is Sanzu's true plot. In chapter 253, witnessing each of his friends being beaten, Takemichi fails to focus on his fight with Kakucho and gets punched away by the guy.
Takemichi gradually feels regret, regret for dragging his friends into this battle. And when Takemichi accidentally touches the railway track, a future image appears. The image shows his friends being killed by a train, and he also sees Sanzu as the one who killed his friend.

Immediately after this detail is revealed, many Tokyo Revengers readers express surprise and anger at Sanzu's actions. The question arises: why would Senju's brother act this way, and does his plot have anything to do with Mikey?
Reflecting on previous parts, in Tokyo Revengers chapter 250, Senju informs Sanzu she won't engage in this battle. Senju apologizes for what transpired that day. She always believed Mikey's dark instinct was triggered by lies and the childhood theft of his toy. However, Sanzu disregards his little sister's words. He raises a hand to his lips and declares Senju knows nothing about what truly happened.

Building on this detail along with new developments in Tokyo Revengers chapter 253, we can discern that the future Takemichi glimpses regarding Sanzu being the one to kill his friends is linked to Senju's older brother. Clearly, Sanzu's intent is to manipulate Mikey's dark instincts and lead him further into violence, and he understands the reasons behind it. The current battle between Tokyo Manji second generation and Kantou Manji is likely part of Sanzu's plan, as he seeks to exploit this chaos to eliminate everyone.
Takemichi himself aims to thwart Mikey, the only way he can conceive is by forming a strong gang capable of breaking Kantou Manji and guiding his friend back to the right path. However, Sanzu is leveraging this battle and intends to kill everyone through a train accident. Takemichi, with his abilities, has glimpsed this future and is appalled by it. The question arises: how will our protagonist prevent this tragic scenario?

Currently, Mikey and Hanma are eliminating all those who dare oppose Kantou Manji. This will push Tokyo Manji second generation to the brink of collapse. Objectively, Takemichi's current strength is insufficient to overturn the situation. Sanzu's scheme is on the verge of being realized, and the only one who can stop it is Mikey. However, the leader of Kantou Manji views Takemichi as an enemy, making it challenging for him to believe Takemichi and intervene against Sanzu's plot.
It's highly likely that in the upcoming chapters of Tokyo Revengers, we'll witness the relentless pursuit and extermination of Kantou Manji gang, with members of Tokyo Manji second generation sacrificing themselves to thwart Sanzu's scheme. If this unfolds, the character long anticipated by fans, Senju, whose demise will awaken Mikey and assist him in thwarting Sanzu's actions, is it true? Perhaps the answer lies in the forthcoming parts of Tokyo Revengers.
