Why Mikey in Tokyo Revengers thinks crying is weak?

It can’t deny that Mikey is one of the most ruthless characters in Tokyo Revengers. This strong character believes that crying is a form of weakness. Let’s take a closer look into his past to understand why this Tokyo Revengers character absolutely refuses to cry in the series!

If we take a look at how Mikey has been behaving throughout the series, one can say that he is someone who shoulders a lot of responsibility. He is strong, and his strength has been a source of motivation and fearlessness for Toman when they were up against vait strong foes. This isn’t easy because Mikey always needs to live up to his peers’ expectations and take care of his comrades.

If we take a look at Mikey’s childhood, it’ll give the series’ fanbase a better understanding of his violent tendencies. Furthermore, it may also dive deeper into Mikey’s thoughts on crying and its correlation to weakness. Mikey didn’t really get to spend much time with his father. In fact, the only proper memory he has of his father was when he received a souvenir from him. It was an action figure that he absolutely adored. However, his father later died in a car accident when Mikey was just three years old.

It would have been devastating for the child to know that his father died in an accident. Shortly after, he started visiting his mother in the hospital and would talk about how he beat up other children. It was likely at this point that he began to think that only weak people cried. His mother told him that he was strong, just like his father. Mikey immediately asked if his father ever cried, and his mother denied it. This could be another reason why he feels that only weak people cry. Mikey loved his father and wanted to be very much like him. Since he didn’t have the mental maturity at that age, he thought the best way to do that is by not crying. This could also be a good explanation as to how he got the Dark Impulses in the first place.
