Tokyo Tower

Tokyo Tower (東京タワー) is a location in Seraph of the End. It is a defunct communications and observation tower in Minato, Tokyo, Japan.

Details
The tower is over one thousand feet tall. The structure is an Eiffel Tower-inspired lattice tower. The real world Tokyo Tower is largely red in coloration, with white sections. If one of the four bases are anything to go by, the steel was secured in blocks which had foliage surrounding each one.

History
Mika says it was once Japan's tallest communications tower where tt was well-known. The tower had managed to endure the catastrophe where other buildings suffered extensive structural damage.

Akihabara Arc
Tokyo Tower was sought out principally by Yu after he and Mika successfully escaped the underground facility in Akihabara when the demand to choose between human resurrection or Mika was rejected entirely. It transpires that Yu and Mika reached Tokyo Tower some time later. It is climbed by Yu who is happy to approach the top. At some point, the viewpoint from the tower amazes Yu. That it is over 1,000 feet tall is known by Mika who informs Yu of this. It is commented by Yu how everyone must have liked Tokyo Tower a whole bunch for its height to be common knowledge, where Mika adds it was pretty famous.

It is from the vantage point of Tokyo Tower where Yu and Mika consider for a moment the world where everyone used to live before everything was destroyed. After Yu slips, this location is where Mika and him note that a fall cannot kill them as neither of them are human anymore. An area where Yu displays his knowledge of terminal velocity, Yu declares his victory over Tokyo Tower.

That it was the tallest thing around was why Yu desired to climb it. Additionally Yu wanted to really look at the world the catastrophe destroyed and everyone who died in it. Here, Yu speaks to Mika how he was only ever thinking about saving his family, namely him. Akane, the kids, Guren, then Shinoa, all were mentioned by Yu as people he also wanted to save.

This was also the location when Mika reminded Yu of his squad, which included Yoichi, then Mitsuba, and Kimizuki. Mentioning they said they loved him, Mika asks Yu if leaving them is what he wants. Mika shouts for Yu to return and build a new family with them, including learning to like Shinoa back and make a new family with her and have kids. Mika adds for Yu to drop his obsession with himself, and states it all ended on the day that Yu fled Sanguinem. The location was also where Yu asked Mika how can he start a new life if he was not in it.

Considering they have not thought for themselves one bit, Yu discusses with Mika on them forming their own plan on bringing everybody back. It is why Yu climbed to the top of the highest place around, to get a good look at everybody they are going to save. A location of Yu rejecting Mika's insistence that he leave him and start a new family, under the beleif this would make Yu happy, Tokyo Tower is also the setting where Yu and Mika would establish the foundation of their different kind of resurrection plan. To this end, they would seek cover within the Sea of Trees around Mt. Fuji to delve into ancient past memories together.
