Kisaki's death isn't the last you see of him in Tokyo Revengers
Tokyo Revengers' main villain dies at the end of the Tenjiku arc. Ken Wakui kept finding reasons to put him back on the page, and the last one is the strangest.
Tetta Kisaki dies in chapter 185 of Ken Wakui's manga, and the anime got there in episode 50, "Meet his fate," which closed season 3 on December 26, 2023. Season 4, War of the Three Titans Arc, premiered on October 2, 2026, streaming on Disney+ and Hulu, and Kisaki's voice actor, Shōtarō Morikubo, is still on the cast list. The character already turned up in a flashback in episode 51. He has a lot more page time left than a dead man should.
Big manga spoilers from here.
How Kisaki dies
The Kanto Incident ends with Kisaki on the run. Two chapters earlier, he tells Takemichi his backstory and claims to be a time leaper too, which turns out to be a lie. In chapter 185, he's hit by a truck at an intersection. His body is too broken to get up, and he lies in the road screaming that he doesn't want to die.
The incident ends with three deaths: Emma Sano, Izana Kurokawa and Kisaki. Takemichi finally has his enemy gone, and the chapter makes a point of showing that watching it has left him shaking.
Every time he comes back
Kisaki's appearance list doesn't stop at 185. Wakui brings him back three more times before the final timeline:
- Chapter 205: Hanma's flashback chapter. It replays their first meeting in an abandoned building, where Kisaki asks Hanma to be one of his pawns, and the night Hanma promises to explain why he follows Kisaki once Kisaki is on his deathbed. Hanma finds the body in the crosswalk and cries. In June 2008, he visits the grave with a can of beer and finally tells him.
- Chapters 264 and 265: Mikey's flashbacks. On July 25, 2005, Kisaki offers to get Pah-chin out of his sentence by finding someone to take the fall and paying the victim to lie. Toman's captains split over letting him in, and Mikey ends up asking Kisaki to guide him, dirty tactics included.
- Chapter 273: The original timeline. A young Takemichi defends Hina from middle schoolers while Kisaki watches from a distance, and Takemichi realizes that he, Hina, Kisaki and Shinichiro were connected all along.
That last one puts Kisaki at the very start of the story. He's there, watching, on the day Takemichi's story begins, years before Toman or the first time leap.
Hanma kept his deathbed promise to Kisaki. He just had to deliver it to a headstone.
Kisaki in the final timeline
The ending gives Kisaki the biggest second chance in the series. In chapter 277, Takemichi and Mikey leap back to their childhood, and this time Takemichi befriends Kisaki himself and brings him into Toman. The gang is founded with Haruchiyo and Kisaki added to the original lineup, and Kisaki and Hanma end up as staff officers. There's no sign of his old fixation on Hina.

Chapter 278, the last chapter of the manga, jumps to adulthood. Kisaki is vice president of the TK&KO Group, with Koko as president, and the company has spent 13 years sponsoring the "Top of Manji" racing team.
When the anime gets there
Season 4 opens the anime's final saga, and Hanma's chapter sits in the Bonten arc the new season starts with. The Mikey flashbacks and the final timeline belong to the manga's last arc, Kanto Manji, so anime viewers will have to wait for the very end.
Wakui killed his villain under a truck, gave him a grave and then wrote him a job title. In the timeline where Kisaki finally gets a friend instead of a target, he ends up a company VP.
