After the final chapter’s release, creator Ken Wakui posted a note addressing fans over Twitter on the endings of the manga.

"Today... marks the final chapter of Tokyo Revengers. It's been five and a half years since the series began, and I've drawn its latest chapters with tears in my eyes and laughed during its comedic scenes. Thank you very much to the readers who had the best time with me and the Manji members all these years," he wrote.

As fans guessed, Tokyo Revengers Chapter 278 ends with the wedding ceremony of Takemichi and Hinata. Everybody is happily pursuing their life in their professions. Fans are again happy to see Draken and Baji in the story.

In chapter 276 of Tokyo Revengers, Mikey comes from the front and pierces the Katana through Takemichi's chest. Two other favorite characters of the fans, namely Baji and Draken died earlier. Hopefully, they all prayed for Takemichi's accomplishment at the end of the manga Tokyo Revengers.

Ken Wakui gave a captivating turn to the plotline in the very next chapter. Mikey makes a major exposé after Takemichi's death. He cries a lot and wishes Takemichi gets back his life. The story jumps back to the past where Mikey meets Takemichi.

When Takemichi confronts Mikey, Mikey reveals that he died in the original timeline and Shinichiro had traveled back in time to save him by stealing the ability from a homeless man who he murdered. A curse manifested in the form of violent behavior, leading to Shinichiro's death and Takemichi inheriting his ability. In the present, Takemichi allows Mikey to succumb to his violent nature to fight him. Mikey mortally wounds Takemichi, but upon holding his hand, both of them return to 1998 with their memories intact.

Finally, both Mikey and Takemichi work together to avert the previous timeline’s tragedies and unite all gangs across Japan for eleven years, and thus they successfully create a peaceful timeline.
