Tokyo Revengers (film)

During the year 2017, Takemichi Hanagaki, a 26-year-old freelancer, learns that his middle school ex-girlfriend Hinata Tachibana and her younger brother Naoto Tachibana have been killed by the Tokyo Manji Gang (also known as Toman). When Takemichi is pushed in front of a train, he teleports exactly 12 years into the year 2005. While reliving his middle school years, Takemichi meets with Naoto and divulges the exact date that he and Hinata will die. When they shake hands, Takemichi is suddenly transported back to the present, creating a time paradox where Naoto survives and is now a detective.

Naoto deduces that every time they hold hands, Takemichi is transported 12 years into the past. Using his knowledge from the future, Takemichi vows to save Hinata. Travelling back to the past, Takemichi's friends are forced into underground matches led by Kiyomasa, a member of the Toman. Takemichi's determination to protect them gains the respect of the gang's leader Manjiro Sano aka "Mikey". Takemichi discovers that his new friendship with Mikey prevented one of his friends Akkun, from going to prison in the present. However, Akkun commits suicide out of fear, where Takemichi realizes the Toman presents a stronger threat to his friends than he initially thought.

Takemichi travels back to his past and finds that the Tokyo Manji Gang is declaring war on Moebius, a rival gang, to avenge Pah-chin's friend. Takemichi learns that Mikey's second-in-command Ken Ryūgūji aka "Draken" will eventually be killed and lead to Mikey becoming violent. Draken survives the rumble, but Pah-chin turns himself to the police after stabbing Moebius' leader Osanai, which later causes infighting within the Toman. Takemichi finally resolves Mikey and Draken's dispute. On August 3, 2005, the Tokyo Manji Gang are attacked by a group of Moebius members, who are led by Valhalla member Shūji Hanma.

Takemichi learns that Peh-yan colluded with them out of anger for Mikey and Draken letting Pah-chin be arrested, while Kiyomasa had stabbed Draken for humiliating him and causing him to be exiled from the Tokyo Manji Gang. The Tokyo Manji Gang wins the fight, where Takemichi defeats Kiyomasa and admits Draken to the hospital. Draken recovers from his injuries and Peh-yan apologizes for his actions. Takemichi travels back to the present timeline and heads to Hinata's house to meet Naoto, where he finally meets Hinata.
