With the 2021 release of its first season, the series  set up great success and worldwide  plaudit and is still continuing, with the manga having reached its end  formerly.

This manga focuses on the main character, Hanagaki Takemichi, as he jumps back and forth from the present to 12 times ago in the  history in the expedients of saving his nonage gal, Tachibana Hinata, from an  cursed  fate where she's killed by the Yakuza.

Who is Tachibana Hinata?

The Main Love Interest of Takemichi

• Debut Chapter: Chapter 1
• Debut Episode: Episode 1
• Age: 26 (2017), 14 (2005)

Tachibana Hinata is Tokyo Punishers' main  womanish character. In fact, she's the person whose livelihood, or lack of it, pushes the story forward. She's the main  provocation for 2 characters, in particular, Hanagaki Takemichi and Tetta Kisaki.  

Hinata is a cheerful and kind girl who dated Takemichi when they were both in middle  academy. At first, her character might come off like a typical  commonplace, that is, a  veritably kind girl towards the main character, but she grows and develops throughout the series and shows a lot of strength and determination. Indeed when everyone is down and when nothing seems to be going well, Hinata is always present to help keep everyone positive and happy.  

She's introduced in the first chapter of the manga,  rephrasing to the first  occasion of the anime. In the  history, she was a 14- time-old middle  academy pupil of  veritably short  elevation. She keeps her pinkish hair short and is  generally seen wearing her middle  academy livery. As an grown-up, she does not grow  importantsize-wise, but she does grow her hair out and is more prone to wearing short dresses. Most importantly, as an grown-up she wears a choker that was offered to her by Takemichi when they were  youngish. 

Other characters than Takemichi that she has a great relationship are:

• Tachibana Naoto, her younger brother, who actually helps Takemichi in saving his sister.
• Sano Ema, Mikey's younger sister. Despite Takemichi almost having "some action" with Ema, she and Hinata grow very close throughout the story, becoming best friends.

Her Contribution to the Story Is Massive

Hinata is Takemichi’s Ultimate Goal

Throughout the story of Tokyo Punishers, Hinata has shown some involvement in  nearly every  bow. Tachibana is n't physically  complete or strong, but she does what she can and supports the others,  specially Takemichi, a lot mentally.

She's the pushing factor for Takemichi, and the primary and  original cause for his fight. After he discovers her death by the cabal, he vows to save her after meeting her in the  history. Hinata also stands up to Takemichi and defends him from people whom she allowed were bullying him,  specially Mikey and Draken. She goes as far as  slighting Mikey and holding on indeed after being met with a hanging  air from him.

In the following story  bow, after Takemichi gets beaten up, she stays with him under the rain and gives him strength to push forward. Thanks to this act, Takemichi is  suitable to get back over and  negotiate his  thing. During this  bow, she's also the one to call out to Takemichi's  musketeers so they can support him and Draken during the fight. Without her, both would have gotten killed.

When Takemichi goes back to the future after this, Hinata is alive and well, but they have broken up. After some back and forth, Takemichi realizes that he's the one who broke up with her, although he is not sure why. This is  also explained  latterly on. Hinata,  still, does not survive for long. She's killed in a auto while Takemichi leaves for the  restroom,  transferring him  formerly again into the  history to fix this.

The  maturity of information  suckers get about Hinata's constant targeting by the Yakuza is during the Tenjiku  bow. It's revealed to be because of Tetta Kisaki. He'd always had  passions for Hinata, and those went unrequited, which pushed him to murder her. It was also revealed that the reason Takemichi was pushed onto a train and  nearly killed was because he  entered Hinata's love and affection. Hinata was a huge influence to not only the  promoter, but also the show's main antagonist. 

Takemichi and Hinata Almost Get Married

Takemichi Almost Ended Up with Hinata

In the stylish future Takemichi got, he and Hinata were planning their marriage. In this future, everything was  nearly perfect, and the two of them were about to be married, and live happily ever  later. still, at the last moment, he decides that he has other  effects to do and ca n’t marry her now. He ends up leaving her to fix the main issue with this present and that's Mikey not being there. Mikey's descent to his dark side meant that Takemichi had to do everything to save him. Then, Hinata loses her main  part as the person Takemichi wants to save, which  also shifts to Mikey.

This means the story basically shifts focus and Hinata is sidelined. Back  also, it was unclear if Takemichi would achieve a present as good as the bone he left to save Mikey. After all, his recent time  passage had bring the life of a cherished character who would've  else survived, none other than Draken. 

Hinata in the Final Arc

Takemichi and Hinata Finally Get Their Happily-Ever-After

Takemichi’s decision to go and mess with the timeline again was  surely a  parlous bone. still at the end, it all worked out, whether or not  suckers enjoyed how the story went and the ending. Indeed, in chapter 278 of Tokyo Punishers, the final chapter, Takemichi and Hinata eventually get  wedded, and this time, everyone is present, indeed Mikey, the person Takemichi left everything for to try and save.

Takemichi and Hinata’s  marriage actually featured some  once antagonists too, showing how well Takemichi was  suitable to fix this time like. Overall, despite this happy ending,  suckers felt  displeased and Hinata's character at the end boiled down to being Takemichi’s love interest and nothing differently more. 

With the story of Tokyo Revengers having concluded a while ago, back in November of 2022, fans can find all the manga volumes to read and finish this story.
