However, Tokyo Revengers hits different.

From the start of the story, fans believed that Kisaki Tetta is the main villain of the story.

Like any other action-thriller story, Kisaki Tetta fits the standard villain image for this genre.

An evil, rich, cunning, badass yet high intelligent character that always stands in the main hero's way.
