The reveal seems to have stocked the manga readers because Tokyo Revengers might have more leapers besides Takemichi. Since we’re discussing it, let’s see if Mikey is the second-time leaper in Toky Revenges or not.
The latest chapter in Tokyo Revengers manga unveiled one of the greatest mysteries around Takemichi Hanagaki, the only known time leaper who can go back and forth in time. However, the mystery might be disappointing to some manga readers because it is not what everyone expected from the plot.

Tokyo Revengers chapter 268, “Another Such,” explained
In chapter 268, named “Another Such,” the panels start with Takemichi looking for an opening with his fight against Mikey. Once he gets the 1 second opening after Mikey’s attack, the story’s protagonist lands a punch on Mike’s face. Seeing the impossibility of the fight and Takemichi’s perfect punch that puts Mikey on the ground, the crowds start cheering for him, including Haruchiyo Sanzu and the other characters.
‘Seeing the fight, the Toman gang members start shouting “Toman, Toman, Toman” as a way to encourage Takemichi that he could have a shot against Mikey since he was able to land a punch at him. Seining Takemichi in action, the team members get motivated, and Chifuyu Matsuno starts crying and says, “Don’t make me cry!” as a way to express his happiness over the fight.
Since Mikey is one of the strongest characters in the story, it is not quite enough to beat Mikey. While getting up, Mikey sarcastically says, “All this fuss over a single punch?” Both characters prepare for the next round.
Now, after this panel, we can see Mikey’s involvement in the time leap phenomena, and he was already aware of all things that were happening around Takemichi and how he was able to time leap.
