Tokyo Revengers 2: Bloody Halloween - Decisive Battle (2023)

Good Enough

Japanese Movie '' Tokyo Revengers 2 : Bloody Halloween : Decisive Battle '' is the second part of the second movie of the Tokyo Revengers series, which is based on a manga series with the same title and has been also made into an anime.

The movie showcases the decisive battle, as its name suggests, that will alter the future depending on its outcome, a battle that was built up in the first part of the Bloody Halloween arc. And it does not disappoint. It is indeed bloody, and emotional, and full of action. The fight scenes were well executed, the characters showed character development, and the twists were enjoyable.

In addition, the all star cast did a great job with their performances and enhanced the entertainment of the viewer.

So, overall, eight and a half out of ten.

A protagonist extremely weak and irritating.

I don't want to be offensive to fans of this manga, but based on this trilogy of films, I'd like to express an opinion and question: is the protagonist really so irritating and weak in the manga? Because, let's face it, he only relies on the power of love and dialogue, constantly getting beaten up by everyone, allies or enemies alike. He can't fight, can't persuade, just shouts, cries, and complains.

Since the first film, there has been no evolution whatsoever; the outcome is just beatings, tears, and more beatings. His body must be made of titanium, as in all three films he has been beaten in every possible way, it's a miracle he hasn't suffered a cranial trauma.

Anyway, I can't judge the protagonist in the manga because I've never read it, but Takemichi in the films is a naive, complaining, weak character who believes the power of love can fix everything. If there are no more sequels, that's fine by me.
