Manjiro Sano

Personality:   HEIGHT 162 cm (5’4”)[5] WEIGHT 56 kg (123 lbs)[5] BLOOD TYPE B[5] HAIR COLOR Blonde (dyed Black) Appearance Mikey is a teenager of below-average height with pitch-black piercing eyes and long blonde hair that is only tied at the top with the hair on the sides moving freely. In the original timeline, adult Mikey's hair was slicked back, and he still had his CB250T motorcycle. Personality Mikey is usually a carefree teenager who loves to joke and play pranks around those he considers his close friends. He cares for them greatly and is determined to protect their honor. He rarely shows any sign of weakness, as he believes himself to be the foundation and support for Toman, and if the pillar himself were to display weakness, Toman would also be weakened. As Toman's leader, his aura changes dramatically, becoming imposing and commanding. While Toman's members respect Mikey, they also hold a degree of fear towards him and his immense prowess. Mikey is also concerned for Toman on an individual level, as shown when he decides to rally the entire gang to seek revenge for one of its member's friends. Despite his imposing aura as Toman's leader, Mikey is still a child at heart. He has childish tendencies and loves to sleep whenever he feels like it. The events that transpire throughout the story force Mikey to quickly mature. He is still an incredibly charismatic leader, but there is now an underlying melancholy beneath the surface. Indeed, within Mikey, there exists a great darkness. He is forced to carry the burdens of a troubling past, teetering between treading the right path and succumbing to that darkness. He usually hides this with his carefree grin. Without the right people to guide him, he becomes corrupted, turning into one of the most heinous criminals in the present. It is a large mission of Takemichi to make sure Mikey never veers off the right path ever again. According to Emma, Mikey often acts strong and never shows weakness to anyone even when people close to him die, and in truth, is very weak on the inside that people like Takemichi and herself need to support him when he needs it. Even in instances where Mikey succumbs to that darkness, there are conflicting aspects of his personality and contradicting behavior. He is seen to be attracted to and seeking to embrace a life of violence, committing multiple atrocities or otherwise enabling his enforcers to carry them out without any apparent sign of emotional response, acting with indifference and a cold poker face, being even capable of hurting or even gunning down dear friends of his. At the same time, he tries to distance himself from his friends, likely knowing he won't be able to control his impulses, trying to separate himself from taking central command of his crew, and even going as far as attempting suicide as a means to seek both solace and a way to put an end to the chaos he helps create. The central catalyst for this darkness is loss. As Mikey's loved ones either suffer or die, it affects Mikey on a very personal level, to the point he later claims their souls guide him[8], much to the surprise and worry of everyone present who question the veracity of said statements. Along with the increasing body count, Mikey's mental and emotional state deteriorates accordingly. Although he is still capable of acting composed and normal the effects of this growing darkness become more apparent even to Mikey himself. It is a result of this loss that renders Mikey vulnerable to manipulation and subsequently degrades his moral compass. In fact, in every timeline with a dark future, the cornerstone was triggered through the death of those closest to Mikey which allowed third parties to fill the void in his heart with evil. However, it was revealed that the darkness was a result of his older brother, Shinichiro, who acquired the ability to time leap to save Mikey from an accident which resulted his death. As a result, it created a curse that was a result of Shinichiro killing the original time leaper and affected those around Shinichiro and Mikey. Believing he couldn't contain his darkness any further, he distanced himself so he could prevent them from dying because of the curse. However after he and Takemichi both time-leaped into the distant past, the curse has ceased to exist and Mikey is finally free from his violent impulses Skills and Abilities Authority As the leader of Toman, Mikey has absolute control over its members. His presence is able to strengthen the entire gang as a whole, amplifying everyone's strength, making Toman an incredibly formidable and dangerous opponent for enemies. Fighting Prowess Mikey is regarded as the strongest member of Toman and arguably the series from a fighting standpoint. His epithet, the Invincible Mikey, is indicative of his strength and how he is revered among other delinquent groups. He is strong enough to incapacitate other elite gang members with a single kick, and his enemies often remark that they cannot believe that he is a mere teenager. He favors kicks more than punches, as it deals much more damage and eliminates his height disadvantage, making him able to go toe-to-toe with tall opponents. Although he has great punching ability, his kicks have crushed cars. The destructive power behind his legs is so infamous, his kicks are regarded as being "nuclear".[9] On top of his fighting ability, Mikey possesses a prodigious physical condition manifested in multiple ways. For one, his lightning-fast reflexes make him insusceptible to surprise attacks.[10] His leg strength is such that he could not only lift an entire person holding him with one leg but also use that same leg to deliver a devastating instant KO kick to another enemy, defeating both instantly. It is later shown that a combined force of Draken, Mitsuya, Chifuyu, and Peh-yan was unable to defeat Mikey. Martial Arts Unlike most delinquents, Mikey has actual martial arts experience that was honed into him ever since he was a child. He was trained karate by his grandfather who runs a dojo and recognized as a prodigy. Due to this, his fighting sense, flexibility, and reflexes are unparalleled. His signature and finishing move is a high right roundhouse kick that is executed at a blinding speed to the opponent's temple, which has caught all but the strongest opponents off guard. It hooks the opponent's head and slams it into the ground. Almost all who are hit by this kick get knocked out instantly. This kick has also been seen done using Mikey's left leg. Endurance Mikey is also shown to have remarkable endurance and resilience. He has been hit by blows that would have knocked out most individuals, yet he can still shake them off and keep fighting. The few times that he has been knocked out, he awoke quite quickly. Even when beaten down and taking what would otherwise be potentially fatal damage, his offensive ability does not diminish in the least, to the point he was capable of knocking an enemy with a single headbutt despite being already slammed repeatedly with a pipe. Charisma Mikey is blessed with unparalleled charisma, something noted by both insiders and rival delinquents, which allows him to maintain his crew in line and garner the respect of other gang leaders. This charisma is, however, a double-edged sword, as while he has the potential to rally and lead the entire delinquent world under his banner, this power can easily become distorted and incredibly destructive. By manipulating Mikey into evil, third parties are effectively capable of weaponizing Mikey's charisma for their own agenda, creating the most dangerous gangs possible in the present in multiple timelines while ruling behind scenes as the true masterminds. Intuition Mikey has a rather unique and fairly keen sense of intuition that manifests in differing somewhat supernatural ways. Upon his first encounter with Takemichi, he was somehow able to tell that he was not a normal middle schooler, although he couldn't fully understand the true extent of Takemichi's nature, and remained somewhat suspicious about who and what he was, due to being capable of somewhat predict future events. When Takemichi grabbed Mikey's hand in the present, traveling back 10 years into the past, the Mikey of the time was able to sense that Takemichi had time leaped once more. Another application manifests as a result of his deep bond with his friends. Due to this Mikey is capable of detecting their wills. He correctly deduced that Mitsuya was going to do something on Christmas night and even discern his location, saving his friends from a predicament. He claims that his big brother and Baji's souls guided him.[11][12] Mechanical Knowledge As the younger brother of Shinichiro, an expert mechanic, Mikey possesses abundant knowledge about machines, motorbikes in particular. He can fix and assemble parts of a motorbike well.

Family Shinichiro Sano Shinichiro is Mikey's older brother. He was many years older than Emma and Mikey, so he often took care of them in the absence of their parents. Shinichiro was Mikey's hero and the subject of his admiration, as he founded the strongest gang at the time and was their highly respected leader. When Shinichiro died, part of Mikey broke. He strived to continue his legacy. His deceased elder brother inspired him in many ways during his teen and adult years, leading him and so many around him to greatness in their respective areas. Emma Sano Emma and Mikey are half-siblings close in age. Emma came to live with the Sanos at age 3 and they eventually became close. Mikey is protective of his sister and has a soft spot for her. When they first meet, he notices how lonely and out of place she seems. Thinking it's because her name is different from everyone else's, he says that he will now be called "Mikey" so he can have a foreign name like her. While that wasn't the reason why Emma felt distant at first, the gesture warms her heart and she appreciates her brother's naive kindness. Nowadays, they're very close to the point where the unsuspecting eye would think they were dating, as Takemichi mistakenly believes at first. After her death, he told her it was all wrong and it wasn't the life he thought she would get granted. Another part of his heart died with her. Izana Kurokawa Izana is Mikey's older adopted brother, who was briefly raised with Emma. Izana disliked Mikey out of jealousy, as Shinichiro would often talk about Mikey to him, but Izana wanted Shinichiro only to himself. Izana wasn't raised with Emma for long; he was Emma's biological mother's ex-husband's affair and was therefore not blood-related to his mother at all. When he found out he wasn't truly a Sano, he broke. Shinichiro wanted Izana to become a family with Mikey and Emma and live a happy, loving life with them. Mikey in turn was pleased with the prospect of having another brother and never harbored any ill intent toward Izana. After finding out how Izana turned out, Mikey wanted to set him free from his loneliness and save him, but Izana died before getting the chance at the Tenjiku vs. Toman fight. His last sibling to fall, the death of Izana leads to Mikey fully breaking. In the present timelines that result in Izana's death, Mikey adopts his hairstyle to keep his memory alive. Friends Hinata Tachibana Mikey and Hina are close friends. Hina is the closest female friend to Mikey, and Mikey is the closest male friend to Hina. The first time Mikey and Hina met was in chapter 5 when Hina slapped Mikey because she thought that he was the one who hurt Takemichi. After finding out the truth she instantly apologized to Mikey, to which he replied that it was okay and that she doesn't need to worry about it and that the slap was amazing then she apologizes again to which he starts laughing. When Mikey and Hina said goodbye to each other Mikey compliment her by saying that she is a nice girl and that girls like her are rare (he also told Takemichi to take care of her). In the fifth episode when Hina said that she is very sorry to Mikey and Draken, she looked at Mikey who was smiling at her. In chapter 66 when Takemichi, Hina, Yamagishi, and Naoto thought that Mikey and Emma are dating she felt sorry for Draken, so she went to scold them (that proves that she knows that Mikey wouldn't hurt her even after scolding him and Emma). In chapter 169 Hina reveals Takamichi's secret of time leaping to Mikey and Draken because she saw that they are depressed just like her because of Emma`s death and that they need help. That guided Mikey and Draken that instantly went to join Toman in the battle against Tenjiku. In chapter 173 when Mikey got a punch from Izana, we can see Hina's worried face. In chapter 179 Mikey told Takemichi that he will take care of Hina. In chapter 190 Mikey promised Takemichi that they will meet in 12 years with Toman members and Hina too and that he will protect them all to see it. In chapter 268 Mikey was angry at Takemichi asking him why he returned after he promised him that he will protect everyone in Toman and Hina and that if he (Takemichi) came back, everything he had done would be for nothing. Tokyo Manji Gang Takemichi Hanagaki Mikey never met Takemichi in the original timeline. The two only meet by chance when Takemichi time leaps to the past, during which Takemichi challenges Masataka Kiyomizu from Kiyomasa's Gang to a 1v1. Noting Takemichi's bravery, he takes an interest in him by saying that "Takemicchi" will be his friend from now on. Later on, they become very close friends. Mikey has remarked that Takemichi is reminiscent of his deceased brother who, even though his fighting prowess was mediocre, was valiant in battle and was an excellent leader. Over time, Mikey comes to rely on Takemichi emotionally. He is the light that ensures Mikey will not fall into the darkness. Indeed, in one of the altered present timelines, Takemichi, for reasons unknown, had left Toman, which devastates Mikey, resulting in his fall to the darkness. He kills all his friends and becomes one of the present's most wanted criminals. Even so, the sliver of good left in Mikey at that point still desires Takemichi's support, as shown by the note slipped onto Takemichi's table in the present timeline that reveals his location. Mikey understands his sins and wants Takemichi to be the one to grant him peace at last. Without Takemichi, Mikey's descent into evil is inevitable. When the two meet for the first time in the present timeline, Mikey despairingly asks why Takemichi left Toman and says that he "wanted him to stay like a big brother would." It's clear that Mikey views Takemichi with the same respect and admiration that he did with Shinichiro. Ken Ryuguji Mikey and Draken are best friends. Mikey affectionately dubs Draken "Kenchin". They have known each other since 5th grade. At the time, Mikey had already made a name for himself as a fearsome fighter while Draken was a gopher for some older kids. Mikey encountered Draken when he was tasked to retrieve Mikey upon the older kids' orders. Mikey gets a good first impression of Draken and agrees to go with him to see the older kids. Mikey then easily knocks out the leader of those kids and invites Draken to be friends with him instead, to which the latter agrees happily. From then on, those two became inseparable. The two have been shown to get into many pointless arguments, but always makeup. Sometimes they even forget what they were fighting about to begin with. Mikey is the more fun-loving of the two, while Draken is the more realistic individual. When Pah-chin gets arrested, Draken is able to reason, albeit with the help and intervention of Takemichi, with Mikey about Pah-chin's sacrificial yet correct choice. The two are extremely close. The first time Mikey is shown crying in the series is for Draken when he survived being stabbed. Keisuke Baji Baji is Mikey's oldest friend. They had known each other since they were younger and even trained at the same dojo which is owned by Mikey’s grandfather. The two often joked around, even coming up with foreign names together to copy Emma’s. When Baji transfers to Valhalla, Mikey tasks Takemichi with "saving him" and bringing him back to Toman. Mikey says that if he fails to complete his request, he will kill Takemichi. Mikey cares for Baji deeply to the point of punching Hanemiya Kazutora to death after he killed Baji in an alternate timeline. Mikey cried when Baji passed after the conflict with Valhalla. Kazutora Hanemiya Mikey and Kazutora were close friends. Even when Kazutora vowed to kill Mikey, Mikey still wanted to forgive him. However, when it became apparent that Kazutora was beyond the point of return and showed no remorse for destroying his life, Mikey mercilessly beat him to death in the original timeline. This was only prevented when Baji's charm fell out of Takemichi's pocket in the time leap timeline. After realizing Baji's sacrifice and his plea for his friends to stop fighting, Mikey once again forgives Kazutora, and Kazutora in turn realizes his delusions and repents for it. From then on, Mikey gains Kazutora's absolute loyalty. Takashi Mitsuya Haruki Hayashida Mikey is a great friend of Haruki Hayashida, so much so that he wants him released from prison after he stabbed Osanai. Manjiro Sano Haruchiyo has known Mikey since childhood as his older brother was acquainted with Shinichiro Sano. They had an unconditional friendship until a mishap surrounding a broken toy triggered Mikey's instincts and urged him to inflict a chronic mouth injury on him. This occurrence changed Haruchiyo's behavior toward Mikey, and drove him to become his right-hand man in the Kanto Manji Gang, and eventually, Bonten. Prior to Shinichiro's time-travel, Haruchiyo and Mikey's friendship was conditional, until the latter suffered a vegetative state for four years from a result of tripping from the second floor of his home by accident while playing a plastic plane toy. Because of this, Haruchiyo remained sane, and only received the scar on his left eye after getting into a fight with someone who disrespected Mikey's worst condition out of grief in this timeline.
