Tokyo Revengers manga spoilers! Do NOT read if you're anime-only and haven't read manga yet or haven't finished it yet!!

Summary: Curse of Sano family, Dark impulses, how Takemichi is able to break the curse, what is Takemichi to Mikey and why.

What is Dark Impulse exactly? It's the curse that was given to Sano family by previous timeleaper, who was killed by Shinichiro then. Old man's curse wasn't only affecting Shinichiro but the whole Sano family--especially Mikey.

Shinichiro got his karma, but "Dark Impulses" aim wasn't to ruin Shinichiro only, but also his siblings, everyone Shinichiro held dear to his heart.

Dark Impulses are called Dark Impulses because Mikey introduced them as that, since the curse was violent and pushed its owner to the embrace of evil and wickedness.

The most interesting thing about it is that Dark Impulses are also introduced as another Mikey, ANOTHER HUMAN and living being. Just in one body. (I thought it was DID reference ngl)

I just think that it's interesting way to introduce a curse because it's usually introduced as someTHING and not as someONE ("there's SOMETHING inside of me that I cannot control" for example) but I think this shows how Mikey thought that Dark Impulses were HIM, that it was Inseparable from him and it was part of who he was. Which makes sense because he has had it since he was very young and learned to live with it. Mikey has been struggling to keep his darkness away but that just caused it to bottle up and get harder and harder to control.

His Dark Impulses got so much worse because of the loss of his loved ones, since his mentality got so much weaker to the point that he wasn't able to fight back dark impulses and Kisaki's manipulation, he has fallen victim of them. He managed to appear calm about it and pretend that everything was alright but there's a limit to how much one can take.

Many people thought that Takemichi was stupid for this and I've even seen the comments saying that they didn't get this part at all. But Takemichi, in fact, was the ONLY ONE who could break the curse and it's because Shinichiro transferred his powers to Takemichi, but not his curse. Let's note one thing that Shinichiro died few days after giving his power to Takemichi, which could be interfered as that he was alive (after his time leaping) because of his powers. Which means that the power to timeleap can and will break the curse of previous timeleaper. In order for Takemichi to do that, Mikey had to completely give in his Dark Impulses and placed his trust in Takemichi to break the curse.

Which is why Takemichi actually was Mikey's hero, because he was the only one who could break the curse that he has been suffering with for a good while. Takemichi is indeed a hero. Mikey's hero.

How much of sanzu's disfigurement is actually senju's fault? Why doesn't sanzu hold a grudge against Mikey for permanently disfiguring him?

I truly believe Sanzu is just crazy and that's all there is to it.

He reached a level of Stockholm syndrome others can only have nightmares about.

Mikey and Shinichiro fucked that boy up so badly. (Shinichiro only visiting him in hospital to tell him to forgive Mikey and still be his friend was HEINOUS. And then dropping the time travel shit on him just before croaking is HEINOUS. What the FUCK Shinichiro.

Sanzu worships the ground Mikey walks on in exchange for being ignored and mutilated, while attempting to kill Senju for telling a lie when she was basically a baby. That lie led to his scars, yes, but WHO ACTUALLY GAVE HIM THOSE SCARS??,

Definitely not fucking Senju that's who.

What Revenge Stories Teach Us About Justice and Morality

We all like to think we’re above the base impulses of revenge. That if someone wronged us, we’d take the high road, turn the other cheek. Yet revenge stories captivate us again and again. Why? Because they speak to something primal, something we keep carefully locked away beneath our civilised exterior. Take Soren from my novel Guild of Assassins. He begins as a sculptor’s apprentice, an…

think senju bears the same responsibility mikey does for permanently disfiguring sanzu? or is sanzu's disfigurement solely on mikey and mikey alone?

I dont think Senju should bear any responsibility for Mikeys actions.

Sure, she shouldn't have lied about breaking the plane but that's just something that kids do. They lie when they don't want to get into trouble.

Mikey's reaction to the lie? That is not a normal thing kids do. That is some deep mental illness and/or plain malice and cruelty. (Or fucking Dark Impulse or whatever the fuck they say it is).

I have never understood the sentiment of trying to compare Senju and Mikey in this situation.

Senju: tells a childlike lie to avoid trouble. You know, like a child.

Mikey: mutilates and disfigures sanzu for LIFE. You know. Like a psychopath.

HOW is there a debate on whose fault it is??

Also: I have been thinking about Crowley's fix for extravagant watches and I have come to the conclusion that his alarm clock cannot be anything less than the onboard clock from the dearly departed Mir Space Station.

I feel like comic writers and some fans have forgotten that Young Justice is mostly about the girls. The main storylines were about Secret/Greta, Cissie, and Anita. The boys were there but they had their own runs. Take Young Justice Dark Crisis, yeah it's all about the boys IF you only read the first 5 ish comics. After that it's either big comic events or about the girls. Really the girls are the main characters of Young Justice, the boys are there to draw people in.

It’s lowkey funny that Bruce being homophobic was another proof for Tim that they were trapped in the wrong world
