Takemichi Hanagaki/Relationships

Noting Takemichi's bravery, Mikey takes an interest in him by saying that Takemichi will be his friend from now on. From then on, they become very close friends. Takemichi initially fears Mikey for his fearsome prowess, but comes to respect him after he learns his true nature. Saving Mikey from corruption is one of Takemichi's priorities, as Mikey plays a significant role in the happenings of the present timeline. He gradually gains Mikey's complete trust and support and even becomes guiding light for him.

Ken Ryuguji
Takemichi and Draken meet at the same time Takemichi and Mikey meet: during the underground battle club against Kiyomasa. Takemichi is similarly fearful of Draken as he is with Mikey, but also comes to harbor the same respect for him after understanding his real personality and character. After finding out that one of the causes for the present tragedy is Draken's death, Takemichi makes it one of his goals to protect Draken, which he manages to accomplish. Takemichi's bravery earns Draken's utmost respect and appreciation, as he is willing to set his immense pride aside to bow towards Takemichi.

Chifuyu Matsuno
Chifuyu is the first person who Takemichi reveals his time leaping powers to. Without a semblance of doubt, Chifuyu believes him and vows to help him. From then on, the two become close friends, as Chifuyu always has Takemichi's back. In the end the two end up becoming best friends as they always care about each other and they both respect and support each other.

Hakkai Shiba
Takemichi saved Hakkai from his abusive brother Taiju, after Mitsuya trades Hakkai for Yuzuha's freedom. Takemichi stands up for both of the siblings, amazing them and giving them hope. Hakkai also follows Takemichi straight into battle when Tokyo Manji Gang fights Tanjiku, trusting him.

Keisuke Baji
Takemichi took over Baji's position as the First Division Captain in Toman after his death. Prior to Baji's demise, Takemichi used to be frightened of him due to his headstrong and assertive demeanor. It was in Baji's nature to attack people whoever they may be and Takemichi was no exception to this, as seen when Baji, alongside Nahoya Kawata and Takashi Mitsuya, threatened to attack him when he interrupted Tetta Kisaki' s promotion ceremony. However, Baji soon came to understand Takemichi's feelings by Bloody Halloween when he advised Baji to stay alive. While at the brink of death, Baji informs him of his plan and beliefs and that Kisaki is the true enemy all along, an indication that Takemichi has victoriously gained his trust.

Hinata Tachibana
Hinata is Takemichi's only girlfriend in his 26 years of life. When he finds out she dies, he is devastated by it even though they hadn't met in years. She is the driving force for Takemichi's determination to change the future for the better.Hinata has broken up with Takemichi in the original timeline, in another timeline he broke up with her.After going back in time, Takemichi comes to greatly love and appreciate Hinata, which is slightly different from when he was a true 14 year old. When he really was a 14 year old, he constantly worried her and cared little for his. He recalls that he also took her for granted, which were factors that led to their breakup in the past. Hina is one of the few people Takemichi relies on for support. It the first timeline she’s the one too dump him, but in the second timeline Takemichi breaks up with her, although she never moved on and kept the necklace he gave her. Takemichi and Hinata are engaged in one timeline, but Takemichi tries to find Mikey, resulting in him getting shot three days prior to their wedding, ending the relationship in that timeline. The last we saw of them together was Takemichi apologizing for the wedding. Hina was the main focus of Takemichi time traveling but over the events of the story that has changed to saving everyone.

Masataka Kiyomizu
Takemichi greatly feared and despised Kiyomasa, as he was the reason why he ended up having such a miserable middle school life, which led up to his exceedingly mediocre adult life. Kiyomasa broke his spirit by treating him as a slave and harassed him to the point where he switched schools and lost his confident personality. After timeleaping, Takemichi is able to steel himself and overcome the obstacle he could never surmount the first time. Confronting and defeating Kiyomasa is an impetus in Takemichi's character development.

Tetta Kisaki
The relationship between Takemichi and Kisaki were largely one-sided. As a child, Takemichi saved a young Hinata Tachibana from bullies. This caused Hinata to have a long-lasting crush on him and incurred the jealousy of Kisaki, who liked Hinata. Takemichi only realizes who Kisaki is in the present when Naoto Tachibana informs him that he has become the head of the Tokyo Manji Gang. Since this revelation, the two have been effectively mortal enemies, with Kisaki attempting to force Mikey down a path of Darkness and Takemichi a path of light. Their views of each other only worsen with time, as Kisaki continuously tries to overthrow Toman while Takemichi stands in his way each time. However, despite their deep-seated hatred for each other, Kisaki still holds Takemichi in the highest respect, referring to him by the moniker of "Hero" and considers him on equal standing to himself. Takemichi likewise respects Kisaki enough that he broke down into tears at being unable to finally settle things with him after the battle against Tenjiku.

Shuji Hanma
As Hanma is Kisaki's confidant and right-hand man, Takemichi views him as a bitter enemy by extension.

Taiju Shiba
Takemichi fights Taiju for Yuzuha and Hakkai's freedom. He earns Taiju's respect after the conflict, seen when he helps Takemichi escape in an alternate timeline.

Emma Sano
Takemichi first met Emma when she tried to seduce him.

Naoto Tachibana
Naoto is the sole person in the future who knows of Takemichi's time leaping abilities, and thus tries to help him by supplying him information about Toman. The two become friends because of their shared desire to save Hinata from her untimely death. Naoto even goes as far as to kill Mikey in one of the timelines because he views Mikey as a threat to Takemichi's life.

Senju Kawaragi
Senju and Takemichi never met in the past or future timeline. Takemichi was only Senju's target to be recruited as Tokyo Manji Gang's former 1st Division Captain and the last successor to the Black Dragon to defeat Mikey and Kanto Manji Gang. After Takemichi joined Brahman and being Senju's gopher, he was shocked that she was a girl and had a different personality than being the head of Brahman. They end up becoming friends quickly, as she has sworn to protect him.

Yuzuha Shiba
While Yuzuha isn't a main love interest she still developed a crush on Takemichi after he saved her and Hakkai from Taiju. During the Christmas battle Yuzuha tries to kill Taiju, but Takemichi manages to convince her and Hakkai that they need to be there to support each other, especially in times like this. Yuzuha says that Takemichi changed both Hakkai and Taiju, and is blushing when talking about him. She has a fond look in her eyes when she stares at him and says she wouldn't go for him because he has a girlfriend. We do not know if Yuzuha still bores this crush 12 years later but she was helping Hina with her dress. Yuzuha holds appreciation for Takemichi and is grateful for him saving her family.
