I still remember when I first picked up Tokyo Revengers. Time-travel, gangs, friendship, betrayal—this anime hits hard. But with multiple seasons, OVAs, and a live-action movie adaptation, a lot of new fans get stuck on one question: “What’s the correct order to watch it in?”
Since I’ve followed the series from the very start, here’s the watch order I recommend if you want to experience the story without missing a beat.
1. Tokyo Revengers (Season 1 – 2021)
- Episodes: 24
- Arcs covered: Toman Arc, Moebius Arc, Valhalla Arc
This is where you meet Takemichi Hanagaki, a man stuck in a miserable present who gets the chance to travel back in time and fix his mistakes. Season 1 sets the stage for everything, and trust me—you need to see it to understand the bonds and rivalries that shape the story.

2. Tokyo Revengers: Christmas Showdown (Season 2 – 2023)
- Episodes: 13
- Arc covered: Christmas Conflict Arc
This arc digs deeper into Takemichi’s resolve. The fights get more personal, and the emotional stakes rise. It’s honestly one of my favorite arcs because it shows just how far Takemichi is willing to go for his friends.
3. Tokyo Revengers: Tenjiku Arc (Season 3 – 2023)
- Episodes: 13
- Arc covered: Tenjiku Arc
This season hits like a truck. The Tenjiku gang introduces some of the most dangerous enemies in the series. If you thought the stakes were high before, wait until you see what Takemichi has to face here.
4. Tokyo Revengers Live-Action Movies (Optional)
Japan has also made live-action adaptations of Tokyo Revengers. They’re fun to watch if you want another version of the story, but personally, I always recommend sticking with the anime first.
Best Way to Watch Tokyo Revengers
If you’re new, here’s the order I’d suggest:
- Tokyo Revengers (Season 1)
- Tokyo Revengers: Christmas Showdown (Season 2)
- Tokyo Revengers: Tenjiku Arc (Season 3)
- Live-action movies (optional)
That’s it. Simple and clean.
Final Thoughts
What makes Tokyo Revengers so addictive is the way it mixes time-travel with raw gang conflicts. The friendships, betrayals, and emotional rollercoaster hit differently when you follow the story in the right order.
As someone who’s been hooked on the manga and anime, I can tell you this—watching it in sequence makes the experience way more powerful. So if you’re starting today, follow the order above and let yourself get pulled into Takemichi’s world of second chances.
