Takefuyu

"We're partners, aren't we?"

- Chifuyu to Takemichi, chapter 82

TakeFuyu is the slash ship between Takemichi Hanagaki and Chifuyu Matsuno from the Tokyo Revengers fandom.

Canon
After Baji's death, Chifuyu was so desperate that he even considered leaving Toman. After Mikey stopped him by asking "you want to snuff out the first division's flame?", he then realizes that leading the first division is a huge responsibility for him. He talked it out with Mikey for days and days until finally, he arrived with a conclusion. The new guy that he wants to follow and appoints as the new First Division captain is Takemichi Hanagaki. Chifuyu and Mikey believe that Baji left this responsibility to Takemichi. Takemichi responded by raising his head and saying that he would do his best.

In one of the bad futures where Toman has become an evil organization, where Takemichi has become a terrible person, Chifuyu still cares for Takemichi. Chifuyu had some evidence that Kisaki is evil and that he forces his underlings to do things such as killing someone. Chifuyu could have reported that to the police since he had the evidence, but he didn't. He didn't want to. He was trying to protect Takemichi. When Takemichi and him were being tied and hurted by Kisaki because Chifuyu reported Kisaki to the police, he said that Takemichi had nothing to do with it. Even at gunpoint, Chifuyu still thinks that deep down, Takemichi hasn't changed and is still his partner.

When Takemichi time leaped again (from the previous future), he tells Chifuyu all the things about the time leaps. How Takemichi joined Toman to save Hina from dying, how he could only go back 12 years from the present day, about Mikey, Draken, Kisaki, and Chifuyu's future. He thought that telling Chifuyu might be a bad decision since it may affect the future. But, it turns out that telling Chifuyu was absolutely the right decision. Since then, Chifuyu had always helped him and had always been by his side until Takemichi finally succeeded in creating the perfect future.

Fanon
TakeFuyu is quite a popular ship in the Tokyo Revengers fandom due to Chifuyu always being by Takemichi's side and helping him. People also ship them because they are partners that are always there for each other. Even when they fought, they made up with each other and then they continue being partners again. That's also one of the reasons why people ship them.

There are some rivals of the ship such as Bajifuyu, Takemikey, and TakeHina that may be more popular. But despite that, most fans still love this pairing and ship them both, romantically nor platonically. On A03, there are currently around 440 artworks of this ship in the romantic side, while 452 as platonic/gen, this ship mostly preferred as only friends rather than a romantic couple.
