Takemichi Hanagaki/Relationships

Manjiro Sano
Takemichi and Mikey never meet in the original timeline. They only meet by chance when during one of the trips to the past, Takemichi challenges Kiyomasa to a 1v1. 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.

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.

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.

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 was only Senju's target to be recruited as Tokyo Manji Gang's former First 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.

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 break up with 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.
