Tokyo Revengers subverts traditional shonen tropes by incorporating darker and more mature themes such as gang violence, betrayal, and consequences of actions. It also delves into complex character motivations and relationships, offering a more nuanced portrayal of its characters. Additionally, the series focuses on time travel as a central plot device, which is not commonly seen in traditional shonen manga. However, Tokyo Revengers still adheres to some traditional shonen tropes such as the protagonist's journey of growth and self-discovery, intense battles, and themes of friendship and camaraderie among characters.
