Earlier this month the titles were revealed for the two-part live-action Tokyo Revengers sequel films, which follow up the hugely successful first film that premiered in Japan on July 9, 2021. The sequels—respectively titled Tokyo Revengers: Chi no Halloween -Unmei- (Bloody Halloween -Fate-) and Chi no Halloween -Kessen- (Bloody Halloween -Decisive Battle-)—cover the Bloody Halloween arc from Ken Wakui’s manga, and you can see what’s in store in a new teaser trailer and visual.

The visual’s tagline reads, “I will not break. No matter what..”

The first part opens in Japan in spring 2023, with the second following in summer 2023. 

The sequels will see the cast members—including Takumi Kitamura as Takemichi Hanagaki—returning along with director Tsutomu Hanabusa. When the first movie premiered in July 2021, it became the year’s #1 live-action film, and even managed to beat Black Widow in the Japanese box office. 

Kodansha USA publishes the manga in English and describes it below:

Watching the news, Takemichi Hanagaki learns that his girlfriend from way back in middle school, Hinata Tachibana, has died. The only girlfriend he ever had was just killed by a villainous group known as the Tokyo Manji Gang. He lives in a crappy apartment with thin walls, and his six-years-younger boss treats him like an idiot. Plus, he’s a complete and total virgin … At the height of his rock-bottom life, he suddenly time-leaps twelve years back to his middle school days!! To save Hinata, and change the life he spent running away, hopeless part-timer Takemichi must aim for the top of Kanto’s most sinister delinquent gang!!
