My head hurts...

You groan, but there's mostly silence around you. There's a distant sound of running water, but other than that, you're alone.

What was I doing? All your memory can bring back is the party, but there wasn't much else. You took a drink from a red solo cup, danced with your friends, and then...

You sit up in the bed and peel your eyes open before looking around the virtually empty room. Empty of people, that is. The room isn't bare, but it is minimalist.

You're alone. In someone's bedroom. Before panic can set in, you hear someone shuffling into the space leisurely. When you see the person's face, adrenaline floods your veins, and you scoot back, hitting the headboard harshly.

"Ran," you gasp. Your bully looks over at you blankly, his eyes narrowing to slits before he exhales. His shoulders sag, and you spot the look of defeat on his face before he holds out a hand. You flinch instinctively, but then you spot the washcloth.

"You hit your head on the way down." You reach out for the item and take it, noticing the bloody scrapes on his knuckles and the bruise forming on his cheek.

"Did we get into a fight?" You press the cool cloth to your face as Ran shakes his head no. "What the hell happened?" When Ran looks away, you frown. "What happened?"

"Someone tried to take advantage of you." Your gut sinks.

"A-advantage of me?" The black-haired man nods his head once. "But why--"

"Don't know," he states simply. "Don't care." You look back down at his knuckles as he clenches them, then his face. The pieces. of the puzzle come together slowly.

"Did you... save me?" Ran grunts, looking down at his hands and shrugging. "Why?" Ran refuses to answer, letting his face go blank as he pushes a braid over his shoulder.

"I'll let you stay the night and sleep, then take you to your apartment in the morning." He doesn't wait for your answer before he leaves, shutting the door behind him with a final click. You sit in bed for a while, considering your new (?) ally with concern.

Ran Haitani... your high school bully... standing up for you?

There's no way this is really happening. Right?

Right?

Ran Haitani top 10 moments!

10. Whatever the hell this is, even Chifuyu has no idea what he's talking about but ngl it's kinda cool in a weird Haitani way

9. Seemingly being South's right hand man at the start (plus maybe trying to protect Kakucho here by telling South to not go after him)

8. That time he stopped Rindou from fighting in the bath and then cracked a bad joke about it. (Never change Ran)

7. Actually being smart with a strategy against Mitsuya. Ok it's not great that he whacked Mitsuya over the head but can't argue against his strategy here. It's actually very smart.

6. Helping Kakucho walk and checking up on him after the three deities fight.

5. Twirling his braids around his baton, this is just cute.

4. Closed Kakucho's and Izana's eyes, this is both funny and sweet because Ran was clearly trying to have a touching moment here. He was likely in shock and grieving and trying to say goodbye to two people he cared about a lot. Of course one of them wasn't dead though.

3. Saving Kakucho from Sanzu. Sanzu totally deserved this one

2. His constant posing, he's an icon and he knows it.

1. And finally his relationship with Rindou and just being a good big brother in general. We actually generally don't get to see a lot of their relationship however we can tell how good they are as brother's due to how close they are. Not to mention the genuine fear in Ran's face here, he looks terrified for his little brother here.

I already liked the Haitanis because of their dynamic, and their history with each of the gangs is so interesting to me too, but this was the moment that catapulted Ran Haitani even further up my list of Tokyo Revengers faves.

To start, the Tenjiku arc made me see the Haitanis differently, and it started during their fight with Angry and Hakkai as Ran and Rindou’s dynamic really started to shine. We got a taste of Rindou’s resentment at being in his brother’s shadow during the start of the arc when they fought Mitsuya, but it really came out in the Angry/Hakkai fight with Rindou understanding them because of his role as the youngest but also fighting hard because he’s sick of being underestimated as the youngest.

It’s also in that battle that Ran’s role as the older bro comes out and we see how he is with Rindou when they’re not on top as the strongest and when shit gets serious. (It’s also when my appreciation of him as a character really solidified but I digress). Ran could tell Angry was dangerous and tried to stop Rindou to protect him but it was too late, his brother charged and got knocked out and he followed shortly after. Before that, even as they were fighting together, Ran’s role as the level-headed older bro showed in his fight style, taking control so Rindou can fight without trouble as headstrong as he wants because he will be there to cover his six.

Later, Ran tries to stop Rindou twice, Rindou goes down, and he screams for his brother and rushes into defense mode before he’s knocked out too. We already knew, but it’s reinforced in this arc that Ran’s highest priority is Rindou and he will take care of his brother above all else.

(Side note: I love how Wakui gives us duos who as intense and dangerous as they are, have that loyalty and heart, and I love how we see that in Ran’s concern for Rindou.)

Speaking of heart, this brings me back to the end of the Tenjiku battle when Ran closes Izana and Kakucho’s eyes.

Rindou watched as Ran crouched over their bodies, pays his respects, and closes their eyes, and a few things struck me about this moment. It’s already a heartbreaking moment and to have this follow and to have someone like Ran pay his respects this way, it’s so poignant it made me tear up when I read it.

I also immediately had the thought that Ran’s likely done this before, and Rindou’s likely witnessed him do this before. Rindou watched him go and didn’t even question what he was about to do, which (given their status in as delinquents and their ascent as the brothers who have control of Roppongi) reinforced the thought that the two are sadly not strangers to the death of their fellow members.

Perhaps this is a ritual Rindou’s familiar with Ran doing when it comes to losing their members, perhaps Ran did this back when they lost one or both of their parents or whoever raised them before they were on their own—either way, this moment of heart and respect is something Ran felt compelled to say a few words and close their eyes and I love that he did. It helped give closure to the fight and offered a moment for all of us to take a moment too and say goodbye to Izana and Kakucho (at the time, at least we thought!)

idk I’m rambling but I love this moment in the Tenjiku arc, and appreciate that it was Ran who did it and how it highlighted how heavy this moment was for everyone involved and how these characters care about each other whether they’re brothers by blood, Tenjiku, or Toman in this delinquent life they live.
