Tokyo Revengers: Christmas Showdown โ€’ Episode 8 (Anime News Network)

I still wish very much that Tokyo Revengers could be more consistent, but when everything clicks together right, it can be a blast.

[discuss this in the forum (5 posts)](/cms/discuss/195340) A vision of the siblings' dead mother descends from the vision of the Virgin Mary to comfort her daughter. I also love how the rest of Toman respond, telling Hakkai that while his lying was shameful, he wasn't weak for running from his fears. I don't care what the other characters say, I don't believe for a second that Takemichi's lucky cross-counter was what actually brought Taiju to his knees. The reveal โ€“ that it was Yuzuha who tried to protect Hakkai, rather than the other way around โ€“ isn't terribly surprising, but it centers this battle's drama back to the Shiba family where it belongs. It was an episode built entirely around action with none of the resources necessary to make that work.
