After Yu Yu Hakusho, leading another action-packed live adaptation is Takumi Kitamura, who’s playing the driven Takemichi Hanagaki in Tokyo Revengers 2: Bloody Halloween – Destiny, based on the best-selling manga series by Ken Wakui.

The film tells the story of Takemichi Hanagaki, who, after failing to save Hinata Tachibana from her fate, travels back in time once more to unravel the mysteries of his violent past.

Here’s a quick overview of the film:

A former member of the Toman gang, Takemichi deduces that changing the fate of his friends from the past might just be what’s needed to save Hinata (Mio Imada) from being killed. While seemingly successful, reuniting with Hinata reveals that there’s still deadly loose ends to secure to keep the love of his life alive.

All roads lead to a violent event called “Bloody Halloween”, where the Toman and Valhalla gang settle scores in an all out war between the two factions. Nothing is what they seem and Takemichi is adamant that what transpired that night might be what kickstarted Toman’s reign of terror, which eventually leads to Hinata’s death.

Fans are in for a star-studded ensemble, as along with Takumi Kitamura, the cast includes Yuki Yamada (D-Boys, Godzilla Minus One) as one of Toman’s founding members, Draken. Ryo Yoshizawa (Kamen Rider Fourze) plays the Tomen gang leader with a tragic past, Mikey.

Tokyo Revengers: Bloody Halloween – Destiny opens in Philippine cinemas on January 17 courtesy of Encore Films, and the second part, entitled Tokyo Revengers 2: Bloody Halloween – Decisive Battle, will open on February 7.
