Tokyo Vice Season 2: Tokyo Vice, one of the best sleeper series of 2022, is currently in its second season. As the number of dead rises, Ansel Elgort’s character Jake Adelstein may have gotten himself too deeply involved in Japan’s organized criminal scene. When will the next episode air?

Plotline of Tokyo Vice

Tokyo Vice, a compelling drama set in Tokyo in the 1990s, is based on the same-titled novel by real-life writer Jake Adelstein. The novel skillfully combines reality and fantasy. Although the world was changing at this period, the yakuza remained very much in place. Japanese law enforcement was finally clamping down on the violent yet effective order of the Japanese mafia, while alliances were breaking down.

Amidst all of this turmoil is a young man named Jake who works as a criminal beat reporter for a Japanese publication. He is the first foreign journalist and has a keen sense of danger and story ideas. His character entered the shadowy world of organized crime in Tokyo in season one, endangering both himself and the people he loves.

Following that, in season two, we are introduced to Superintendent Nagata, an idealistic and strong-willed figure who is determined to take decisive action against Japan’s mob rule, and as a result, tensions between the police and yakuza only worsen. The yakuza are attempting to band together at the end of season two, episode four, in order to survive this most recent crackdown, but unity does not appear to be in the cards given the reappearance of the violent and unpredictable Tozawa.

In the final moments of the fourth episode, which is aptly named “Like a New Man,” Tozawa decides he will take the reins and turns against the clan chief. As a result, the men who vowed to serve him toss his leader from the roof, and an inquisitive Jake, who had been pursuing Tozawa to gather information that would enable him to be permanently imprisoned and free his girlfriend, Misaki, from his grasp, finds his body on the roof.

Following this abrupt shock, episode five will see things get even more bizarre because Tozawa is now in complete control of his clan. The upcoming episode of Max will premiere on Thursday, February 29 at 3 AM EST. As with a lot of the episodes this season, the duration is anticipated to stay under one hour. Although it hasn’t been formally revealed, Ready Steady Cut claims that the upcoming episode is called “Illness of the Trade.”
