Tokyo Revengers Season 1 Episode 25 'A Cry Baby' aired September 18, 2021 on MBS as the season finale. Season 1 holds 83 percent on Rotten Tomatoes from 4 critics; MAL 8.02. But Why Tho noted the series is 'certainly an emotional roller coaster' - and the finale is where the roller coaster's full drop lands. The Bloody Halloween arc resolution pays the emotional cost that the time-loop premise has been accumulating: the pattern is not simply that Takemichi changes the past, but that each change extracts a specific grief. The finale's treatment of loyalty and loss in the immediate aftermath of the arc's violence demonstrates that Liden Films understood the emotional architecture the manga had built - the setup for Season 2 arrives without sacrificing the completeness of the first arc's statement. The 8.2 bollymeter is slightly above the season's premiere, reflecting the earned nature of the finale's emotional payoff.
