Tokyo Revengers chapter 278 is the final chapter of the series, and it lists the occupations of the entire cast in the reset timeline. While many retain their line of work from the Bonten timeline, others venture into new territories.
The ending of the series has become one of the most controversial manga endings, with many readers outright despising Wakui’s treatment of his characters. On the other hand, seeing their favorite characters live and thrive in this new timeline has brought solace to many fans, and they are equally excited to find out which character has chosen which profession.

A complete list of every main character’s profession in the final timeline as seen in Tokyo Revengers chapter 278
Tokyo Revengers chapter 278 reveals that Mikey is now a professional bike racer and has recently made a blunder in a race. Draken, who is the head mechanic of his team "Top of Manji," comments that his sponsors are getting fed up with his antics. Draken is married to Emma, who is a housewife, and they might be expecting a child. Shinichiro still runs his bike shop, S.S. Motors, where Inupi also works as an assistant
Kokonoi is the vice-president of a multi-million yen company called TK&KO, with Kisaki as the President. They are also the sponsors of Mikey's racing team. Hanma is a traveling photographer. Izana and Kakucho run Tenjiku, a non-profit organization for homeless and orphaned children, where Mochizuki, Madarame, and Muto regularly volunteer. The organization depends heavily on Kisaki and Koko’s sizeable donations.
Benkei and Wakasa run a boxing gym together which is frequented by Terano South, who himself is a professional martial artist. The Haitani brothers own a club. Senju and Haruchiyo Akashi have become famous YouTubers, and they seem to have reconciled with their eldest brother, Takeomi, who serves as their producer.
Taiju Shiba owns a chain of restaurants. His younger brother, Hakkai, is a model, and their sister Yuzuha is his manager. Mitsuya and Atsushi continue to be a fashion designer and a hairdresser, respectively. Takuya is a pharmacist, Makoto takes care of his family shrine, and Yamagishi is a civil servant.
Pah-Chin and Peh-Yan are in the real estate business. Meanwhile, the Kawata brothers run their ramen shop from the Bonten timeline. Naoto Tachibana has become an occult journalist and sports a relatively unkempt appearance. Lastly, Chifuyu still runs his pet shop and employs Baji and Kazutora there. Tokyo Revengers chapter 278 states that the latter two are terrible employees, making Chifuyu work twice as hard.
Final thoughts
Tokyo Revengers chapter 278 sees most characters fulfill their dreams and work together with the people they love. Some, like Mikey, have finally gotten a chance to do what they have always wanted in this new timeline. Others, such as Chifuyu, have reoriented their aspirations to stay close to the important people in their lives. Now that he no longer needs to save his sister and has never been warned by a time-leaping Takemichi, Naoto has ventured into journalism, which is what readers assume he originally wanted to do.
Many characters retain their occupations from the Bonten era, such as Mitsuya, Hakkai, Yuzuha, Pah-Chin, and Inupi. Draken’s future of managing Shinichiro’s shop has been transferred to its original owner due to the latter being alive.
Similarly, readers see characters like Haruchiyo, Hanma, and Kisaki explore more creative and functional sides of their talents now that they are no longer embroiled in crime. Izana and Kakucho’s childhood dream of creating a place for people like them seems to have come true as well.
Hinata and Takemichi’s places of employment are unclear in Tokyo Revengers chapter 278 spoilers. Hopefully, the official translation will elaborate upon that point.
While most readers are unhappy with the ending and feel that every character has been cheated out of their poignant journeys, one cannot argue that watching these characters live their lives and fulfill their dreams has a certain charm. No matter how questionable Wakui’s creative choices are from a critical point of view, the ending of Tokyo Revengers carries substantial emotional weight.
