Lingering scent is the one hundred ninety-fifth chapter of the Tokyo卍Revengers (Manga).

Summary
While sitting in Smiley and Angry's ramen shop with Hina, Takemichi ponders the familiarity of the tattoo he saw on one of the Bonten members, to the point where Hina becomes irritated at his lack of focus. As they eat their ramen, Takemichi notices the picture they took on Toman's disbandment; although he was not able to see him, he asks if Mikey is doing well.

To Takemichi's surprise, Smiley says that he has no idea. Confused, Takemichi asks if they ever meet when Mikey is not working overseas; Angry says he has heard this from Draken, who is probably the only person who has seen Mikey. Angry admits that he has not seen Mikey in over ten years. As Takemichi tries to process this information, Hina's earring catches his eye, prompting him to remember the design of Bonten's tattoo from Izana Kurokawa's earrings.

Although he cannot fully comprehend what he has learned, Takemichi rushes out of the restaurant with a foreboding feeling. As he runs to Draken's bike shop, questions flow through Takemichi's head; thinking back to the news report, he wonders if Izana is truly dead and if Mikey is alive. Arriving at the bike shop, Takemichi asks why Draken lied to him about Mikey. Draken reveals that Mikey left them twelve years ago, which Takemichi notes is when he left the past. Because of this, Draken does not know whether Mikey is alive or not; he and Chifuyu lied to Takemichi because they wanted him to be happy. Draken implores Takemichi to stop trying to find Mikey, as Mikey has become unrecognizably evil.

Later, Takemichi sits on a bench by the harbor, where Naoto meets him. Takemichi apologizes for troubling Naoto, but he says that it is the least he can do for someone who saved his life. Naoto presents the information he has found about Bonten and the "white-haired man" Takemichi saw. Bonten is Japan's worst criminal organization, involved in a variety of crimes, such as gambling, fraud, prostitution, and murder. Information surrounding Bonten is difficult to obtain; Naoto explains that Bonten is the equivalency to Toman in the alternate futures. The "white-haired man" is their leader; contrary to Takemichi's suspicions, he is not Izana; instead, Boten's leader is Mikey. When Takemichi hears this, he is shocked.
