Introduction

The anime “Tokyo Revengers” has captured the hearts of fans since its debut in April 2021. With its unique blend of delinquent conflicts and time-leaping suspense, the series has garnered significant attention, leading to a total of three seasons aired by 2023. Following the announcement of a new sequel, fans are eager to know when Season 4 will air and what story arcs will be covered. This article delves into the details surrounding the upcoming season, including its potential release date and storyline.

Overview of Tokyo Revengers

“Tokyo Revengers” is based on the manga by Ken Wakui, serialized in “Weekly Shōnen Magazine.” The story follows Takemichi Hanagaki, a down-on-his-luck freeter who discovers that his ex-girlfriend, Hinata Tachibana, has been killed by a notorious gang. After a series of events, he finds himself transported back 12 years in time, where he resolves to change the course of his life and save Hinata from her tragic fate. The series has been praised for its compelling characters and intricate plot, leading to over 70 million copies of the manga being sold.

Announcement of Season 4

On June 16, 2024, during the “Tokyo Revengers” anniversary event, it was officially announced that a sequel is in production. While it remains unclear whether this will be a full Season 4, a TV special, or a movie, fans are hopeful for a continuation of the story. The teaser visuals and promotional video hint at the return of beloved characters Takemichi and Mikey, setting the stage for new adventures.

Expected Storyline for Season 4

If the sequel follows the original manga, it is likely to adapt the “Santo Ten Wars” arc. Given the pacing of previous seasons, if Season 4 is confirmed, it could potentially air sometime in 2024. The broadcasting channels are expected to remain the same as in previous seasons, including MBS, TV Tokyo, and AT-X.

Streaming Availability

For those wondering about streaming options, “Tokyo Revengers” has been available on Disney+ for global audiences (excluding mainland China) since its first season. Other platforms like Amazon Prime Video and dAnime Store also offer episodes for rental. It is anticipated that Season 4 will follow a similar distribution model.

What to Expect in Terms of Episodes

As of now, the exact number of episodes for Season 4 is unknown. The original manga concluded with 31 volumes, and with approximately 10 volumes remaining to be adapted, it is likely that the upcoming season will cover significant portions of the remaining story. Given the previous seasons’ structure, there is a possibility that Season 4 could be a two-cour series to adequately cover the final arcs.

Opening and Ending Themes

Fans are curious about the opening and ending theme artists for Season 4. Official HIGE DANDism has provided the opening themes for all previous seasons, and many hope they will return for the final season. The ending themes have varied each season, so it is likely that new artists will be introduced for Season 4.

Staff and Voice Cast

The production team and voice cast from Season 3 are expected to return for Season 4. This continuity will help maintain the series’ quality and consistency. The key staff includes director Koichi Hatsumi and character designer Kenichi Ohnuki, among others.

Conclusion

While the specifics of Season 4 are still under wraps, the announcement of a sequel has excited fans. With the potential adaptation of the “Santo Ten Wars” arc, there is a strong possibility that this season will lead to a satisfying conclusion for the series.
