Tokyo Revengers chapter 261 raw scans: Hanma and a mysterious person step between Takemichi and Mikey

Readers had hoped that Tokyo Revengers chapter 261 would feature what is likely to be the series’ final battle. However, the raw scans leaked today have thrown a wrench in that expectation via the interference of two characters. The identity of one cannot be discerned from the scans.

On the other hand, just when fans expected Taiju’s fight to be over, a new opponent has emerged in the raw scans, looking to challenge him. The identity of this person is also unknown.

The debate regarding Tokyo Revengers chapter 261

The raw scans of Tokyo Revengers chapter 261 have raised both confusion and debate regarding the identities of both obscure figures. While it is widely believed that it is Chifuyu who attacks Hanma, some point out that it can be Mitsuya as well. A fair argument in favor of Senju is also raised, but from scans, it is clear that the assailant is male.

This is followed by a discussion of whom Hanma knocks out. While it is likely that the person who apprehends him tries to keep him from Takemichi, the scans do not make it clear.

The character who is being punched can very well be Takemichi himself. The person looks to be wearing a sash, has short, light-colored hair, and is relatively slender.

Taiju’s opponent is most likely Sanzu. However, considering that the last time Sanzu was seen he was being run over by a motorcycle, readers questioned how he could recover so fast. On the other hand, there are not many Kantou powerhouses left who can take on someone of Taiju’s caliber alone.

Speculation

Hanma’s motives are as unclear as ever, but it is likely that he still retains a vested interest in Mikey and is trying to keep him away from Takemichi. In light of the second Time-Leaper confusion, it must be noted that if Hanma is aware of Mikey being Takemichi’s trigger, he could be trying to prevent the lattermost from returning to the future.

Inversely, if Mikey is said time-leaper with Takemichi as his trigger and Hanma is unaware of the reverse being also true, he could simply be trying to prevent the Toman President from accidentally sending Mikey back to the future.

One thing that Tokyo Revengers chapter 261 forces readers to consider is what happens when the trigger of a time-leaper dies in the past. If Hanma is indeed a time-leaper from the future whose trigger was Kisaki, then after Kisaki’s death he will be effectively stuck in the past.

If that is the case, then it is likely that Hanma is trying to prevent a similar scenario from recurring for either of the two presidents.
