Tokyo Revengers chapter 275 is the fourth last chapter of the series and sets up the final time jump. The chapter contains the possible death of a major character and a further explanation of how Mikey’s Dark Impulse works. In addition, Takemichi’s efforts of saving Mikey finally bear fruit.
Tokyo Revengers chapter 275 depicts Takemichi and Mikey holding hands, but it doesn’t seem like the former made a time leap. Takemichi may truly have taken his last breath here, in which case, the clash of timelines would come to a standstill unless someone else takes up the mantle.
According to Sanzu’s claim in Tokyo Revengers chapter 275, the Dark Impulse is a curse that has become inseparable from Mikey and manifests itself by causing the deaths of everyone who tries to save the boy. He claims that the years he spent following Mikey were like a trance, which raises the question of whether the curse can incite loyalty and affection in other people for its host.
It is unclear whether the curse is broken, but Mikey’s reaction to the word “friend” makes it apparent that the curse feeds on his loneliness, and the only way to beat it is to surround him with people who love him. It would make sense that if the people who care about Manjiro are a threat to the curse, the curse would attempt to eliminate them, thus creating a self-sustaining cycle.
A majority of the fandom speculate that Takemichi has transferred the power to Mikey, who will likely make the final time-leap of the series and reset a significant number of tragedies that have happened in the story. This poses the question of whether Mikey will also have to face death to trigger his first time-leap, or if Takemichi’s death will be enough.
