Whos The Main Character In Tokyo Revengers
Okay, let's be real. We've all watched Tokyo Revengers. We've cried, we've screamed, we've maybe even threatened our TVs. But who is ACTUALLY the main character?
The Obvious Choice: Takemichi Hanagaki
Yeah, yeah. Takemichi is the one traveling through time. He's got the crying face down. He's supposedly trying to save Hina.
But is he really driving the plot? Or is he more like a... passenger?
Must Read
He's... Reactive, Not Proactive
Think about it. Takemichi mostly reacts to things. He gets beat up, then cries, then MAYBE does something. A lot of the time, it's luck that saves the day.
He's a good dude, sure. But "main character" material? I'm not so sure.
The Real MVP Contender: Mikey
Now, here's where it gets spicy. What if the ACTUAL main character is Mikey? Hear me out!
Everything revolves around him, doesn't it? Toman's story IS Mikey's story. Good or bad, his decisions shape everyone's fate.
The Sun Around Which Everyone Revolves
Takemichi jumps back in time BECAUSE of Mikey's dark path. Everyone is trying to save Mikey from himself. He's the core problem!
Even Takemichi's goal shifts from saving Hina to saving Mikey. Isn't that telling?
My Controversial Take: Draken Is Actually The Main Character
Okay, deep breaths. I know this sounds crazy. But let's examine Draken.
Draken is the glue that holds Toman together. He's the responsible one. Without him, Mikey would probably be ruling the world, or, you know, be even more depressed than he already is.
The Unsung Hero
Think about it. Draken often makes the tough decisions. He's the one balancing Mikey's impulses. He is the real strategist. He keeps Toman functional.
He's always there for Mikey. He's always there to put out fires (sometimes literally). He's a constant presence, unlike Takemichi, who disappears for chunks of the story to cry in alleyways.
Furthermore, without Draken, Tokyo Revengers would've ended quickly. If he had actually died in the early story, all bets are off and Takemichi would've been way more depressed and never get back into Toman.
The Support System Masquerading as the Sidekick
Draken sacrifices himself repeatedly. He protects others. He understands the bigger picture, often better than Mikey himself.
Is he flashy? No. Is he constantly time-traveling? Also no. But is he the quiet force keeping the entire story from collapsing into a heap of teen angst? Absolutely.
So, Who Is It?
Look, maybe it's Takemichi. Maybe it's Mikey. Maybe it's the power of friendship (eye roll).
But deep down, I think Draken deserves the "Main Character" crown. He is the unsung hero who never gets the recognition he deserves.
What do you think? Am I completely off my rocker? Let the debate begin!
