This topic has gripped the attention of many Tokyo Revengers enthusiasts, especially with chapter 241 revealing Mikey's character shift due to Senju.
In Tokyo Revengers chapter 241, a flashback featuring Mikey, Haruchiyo, and Baji unfolds nostalgic memories from their youth. The story begins with Mikey acquiring a new toy that he adores. However, Senju also desires to play with it, leading to an incident where she accidentally breaks the toy, ultimately causing Mikey's dark instincts to surface.
From this detail, Senju maintains that Mikey's descent into darkness, violence, and being dominated by dark instincts originated from her deception in the toy incident. There are speculations regarding whether Mikey's innate dark instincts emerged solely from the toy incident or if there are other underlying reasons.
We've witnessed similar occurrences in various anime, where children undergo drastic changes due to certain events. It's highly likely that Mikey's dark instincts are inherent, present within him, and Senju's action of breaking his favorite toy merely served as a catalyst for these instincts to awaken.
Overall, Mikey was initially portrayed as a special character, initially good, and later transforming into an antagonist, similar to Eren in Attack on Titan. Senju assuming responsibility for Mikey's cruelty and the path he's on serves as a means for the author to develop a cohesive and meaningful story. Presently, Takemichi has established the second generation of the Tokyo Manji Gang, and Senju finds her own motivation in joining the faction aimed at overthrowing Mikey.
What are your thoughts on the enigma surrounding Mikey's sudden eruption of dark instincts in Tokyo Revengers? Do you believe it was solely triggered by Senju snatching his toy? Feel free to share your opinions!
