Tokyo Revengers to adapt the Tenjiku arc following the ending of the Christmas Showdown arc

Tokyo Revengers season 2 adapted the fourth arc of the eponymous manga, the Christmas Showdown arc. The season ran from Jan 8, 2023, to Apr 2, 2023, consisting of 13 episodes that covered chapters 74 to 125 of the manga. It was expected, considering the popularity of the series, that a third season would be announced immediately after the second season finished airing.

The official sources declared that the Tenjiku arc is already in production. They also released a short promotional video, which repurposed some of the clips from the season 2 finale. While the voice actors for a few additional characters, such as Shion Madarame and Kakucho, have not been revealed as of yet, Toru Inada (Enji Todoroki in My Hero Academia and Sajin Komamura in Bleach) has been confirmed to be playing Kanji Mochizuki.

One of the key characters of this arc, the president of the Tenjiku Gang, Kurokawa Izana will be voiced by Nobunaga Shimazaki (Haruka Nanase in Free!, Yuno in Black Clover, Yuki Sohma in Fruits Basket, and Mahito in Jujutsu Kaisen). Izana has already appeared in the season 2 finale when Kisaki and Hanma went to meet Tenjiku.

Tokyo Revengers – Tenjiku arc will cover nearly the entire arc from the manga, of which 4 chapters have already been animated. The remaining 60 chapters (126-185) will be difficult to be animated in only 13 episodes. Therefore, fans can expect the third season to be longer than the second one, but shorter than the first one.
