Streamed on AbemaTV today.

Not sure how I feel about Tsugeura's character in this show...he just seems a bit energetic. Also got to see Mitsuki Kiryu animated, which is much more calm. Episode itself seems to be building more into the next arc/story. We only have 2 more episodes left this season.

Finally back in the classroom.

After their battle with Shishitoren, Sakura, Nirei, and Suou were given a grand welcome in their classroom, surrounded by classmates eager to hear the details of the fight, Sakura couldn't hide his embarrassment. Meanwhile, in one corner of the classroom, Taiga Tsugeura was intensely focused on his workout, protein shake in hand, and Mitsuki Kiryuu stood out as he concentrated on his game with headphones on. Despite his tough appearance, Tsugeura was quite friendly and led Sakura and the others to the okonomiyaki restaurant. There, they ran into Kiryuu, who showed up with a girl.

Well, it was only a matter of time before we got the typical muscle-brained idiot in this show, that being Tsugeura. Honestly don't blame Sugishita for leaving the second he heard the invitation. He saved himself the trouble of that whole ordeal lol. Though to think a simple little outing to eat food would lead to a brawl—did they even eat food in the end??? Missed the whole point of the outing in the first place, but whatever, the fight animation was looking good as usual. Sakura was acting extra tsundere-ish this episode compared to most. Poor guy just wanted to ask a question and they were typing up a storm in that group chat lol.

Would guess that this whole thing with the grade captain would be the last arc for this season, so let's see where it goes.

Wind Breaker needs to be more creative at creating opponents other than some random gang that harassing girl.

So it goes without saying this is basically TR but good. But the one weakness I think it has rn is creating opponents. I know we’re fresh off the Shishtoren arc and there’s only a couple episodes left, so I’m not too mad about the weak antagonists picking on the girl and using that to introduce Kiryu/get Sakura in the group chat etc. but I hope when we get a second season that the opponents have better writing. Even Choji was a little meh on the writing side with no real meaning behind his breakdown.

But in fairness, it was a nice episode and it’s good to see some more light hearted stuff after the emotional roller coaster that was the Shishtoren arc. Sakura might be the biggest tsundere this season. My boy went from basically no contacts in his phone to a phone full of friends and a group chat. Trying to be so tuff and still blushing at everyone lol

Uh oh class election coming up.. this’ll be fun

This is one of those series that is so good that it deserves a second season! The animation is great, the fights are incredible and it also sends good messages. An unforgettable series! May there be a second season!

Yeah, my biggest complaint this episode. Also, Sakura will just never stop blushing at everything, will he?

Who are these goons, anyway? Are they also in an organized gang like Shishitoren? Are they from out of town? Are they even high schoolers? It's hard to imagine these are adults, picking on random high-school girls and showing up with like 20 friends for payback. If they are adults, are the main characters beating up a whole battalion of grown-ups??

Good to see some action after a very talky episode last week, but it's very "been there, done that" this time around...

A guy who can't read the room and a womanizer or not? He seemed like a nice guy too. Sakura being a tsundere will never be not funny. Gimme more Kotoha chan. She added her number there too.

@kodak1

I do agree with TR hate but Tokyo Revenge isn't really a high bar considering how bad it fell off and while this is a delinquent manga the plot is pretty different though they're both about protecting people mostly. Idk why everyone likes to hate on TR everywhere for. It's trash we all know it. It fell hard. Went from at the beginning one of my favorite delinquent mangas to trash with that garbage ending. Then I moved one read other delinquent manga that are actually good

Honestly, Othello-Kun might be the best tsundere this season. Look at how much he's blushing lol. I wonder if there ever will be a girl interested in him? he might explode lol. He's so innocent lol. Handholding is the lewdest thing though in anime so his reaction is understandable. Also weather? Who's weather?

Anyways I think Othello-kun will probably be grade captain or whatever

...I figured that orange perm was gonna be a Rock Lee type of guy. Ugh.
Pink smoothie Kiryu and cool kid Kaji are introduced too at last. Throwing opponents at your buddies? Looks straight outta sports anime but might be a successful strategy.
Not enough Suo action, too much Nirei talking, and Sakura being Sakura~
I'm missing Togame A TON already.

Returning to the classroom after all the Shishitoren fights are done. Sakura had a lot thrust at him in this episode. Meeting some more of his classmates in Kiryu and Tsugeura whom each have their own unique eccentricities. Tsugeura being the big swole guy we've seen working out in by the classroom windows. He's definitely got that big teddy bear energy, wanting to be everyone's friend and wanting to know about their passions. Sakura getting overwhelmed by all the questions from everyone asking about the Shishitoren fights. Tsugeura asking Sakura about what's his virtue is an interesting question, he seems to like knowing about what drives people. Sakura has probably never gotten attached enough to anything in his life to even have a virtue. Which is pretty sad when you think about it, he's surrounded by lots or supportive people at Bofurin so hopefully he can find something to be passionate about. After school heading to that wrestling themed restaurant with Tsugeura. He's definitely passionate about working out and eating lots of protein. Kiryu walking in with a girl in tow, Tsugeura couldn't help himself but try and be friendly. We can see his big personality was upsetting the girl so I'm glad that Kiryu said something. Even if unintentional that's not cool, Tsugeura did get very quiet to apologize which was nice. Turns out that Kiryu was in a bit of trouble for saving that girl, that huge group of thugs pulling up had no clue who they were messing with. Kiryu, Tsugeura and Sakura handling them with ease, they all worked together very well. Some great animation as usual in the fight. Sakura getting all their contact info was funny. They're his first text buddies in his phone which is sweet. Now they must decide who the class captain will be.

Classic tsundere Sakura. I'll never get tired of his blushing tsundere moments XD

I'm glad there wasn't any conflict with the new characters because I already love the himbo Tsuge and his “golden retriever” energy, and Kiryu’s an interesting one too. Also, I ahve a feeling that I'll love Kaji as well

Seeing Sakura making new friends and trying to figure out group chats was kind of adorable and cute. dude finally has some friends' contact details on his phone :)

I kind of felt bad for Sakura with having no contacts on his phone except for a weather one, not even extended family. At least with these classmates he is gaining respect and admiration and now has several contacts. Heck he might even get a girlfriend in Kotoha although she may already be taken but not sure.

Lol Lucha Libre is Tsugeura's aesthetic lol

It was so great seeing Tsugeura get all apologetic and start whispering for scaring the girl! I almost thought Kiryu was going to beat him up, but he seems to be a much nicer guy.

Very good episode, focused on developing/showing the other characters we saw at the beginning
Tsugeura, a lover of protein and exercise, and Kiryu seems to really like games and girls (his combat movements remind me of Suo's, maybe he learned some martial art)
Sukurama wants power... well it's time to try it

PS: I like the detail of the profile photos of each character

PS2: I think there are 2 episodes left, possibly the next one will be like this one and/or the last one as animes in general know how to do... show something for the next season and obviously it has to be another Group like the Shishitoren, not that there are many options haha ​​the anime is not about anything else... *mechas, demons, elves, etc. proceed to appear and everything was distorted*

"H-hand holding? How lewd!" - Sakura, probably.

I've never seen a male anime character who blushes so much lmao. I can't imagine anyone beating him in best tsundere boy of the year. He's so adorable.

So some new characters were introduced in this episode. I'm happy Sakura's got some new friends. It's sad to think about how he doesn't even have his parents in his phone contacts. But seriously, where the hell are the teachers in this school??? Do they not exist??

It was super cool to see the quartet from class 1 in action and it was very dark to see that the anime brought Taiga's aura which is super funny lol I loved this anime so much and it proves how Tokyo Revangers could have done something better than what was delivered. The fight was incredible, the relationship between the characters is sensational, and now there's a mini arc before the big arc, it will be sensational to see the choice of representative and how from here the protagonist changes a lot, whoever read the manga knows that from here Sakura changes a lot to the point of being considered Umemiya's success. Based on what has been adapted and seeing that there are two episodes left, this season should end at the beginning of the second major arc, which is Kell's, and if confirmed, the second season will come with this arc, which for me is the most tense arc, not the best, The best is Bofurin's arc which has everything you can imagine, but I won't give spoilers, but Kell's arc is the most tense so from here on Sakura changes completely as a person, read the manga because it's worth knowing how the story of the hero and his growth on his journey is made. Learn how Tokyo Revengers is how you make a criminal anime.

Feels like they're slipping on the plot, nothing interesting happened since episode 1. Everything is your typical school battle shounen with small alterations here and there. I thought this was the series to bring change to the delinquent genre but it's not much of a change compared to TR

This was a hilarious episode. I am so over the moon that Haruka is making a lot of friends in Bofurin. Also, we finally get to see Tsugera and Kiryu ever since we last saw them in episode 2.

Tsugera is definitely one of my favorite characters in #Windbreaker.
He is a muscle head, and he reminds so much of Kirishima from MHA

Also, it is going without saying he has an infectious personality and is sensitive

P.S his fighting style reminds me of sumo and pro- wrestling

As for Kiryu, he is quite the gentleman and gives compliments to people around him while also being concerned for their well-being.

His fighting style was so unexpected and odd since he just hurled his opponents to his friends, but it was funny to see 😂😂

I personally love it. I think there was a lot of growth and development with the characters this season, and although there is a little work needed done regarding some of the fights, I have a feeling we will get it with the next season. In all, solid first season and the animation is tier.

Yeahhh...
This time back to school and class, getting to know Sakura's classmates again, and now making new friends and arguably becoming close to them.
Of course also get a visual of how these two classmates fight too, although both of them have not seen the full extent of their potential, but from this it can be seen that the two of them (Tsugeura & Kiryuu) are very strong. It remains to see how these classmates will face their future obstacles.

Support Sakura as class leader, yeeee.........

Also, I can't wait to see how the rest of the episodes will show this adaptation of their actions, hoping that we will also get information on the second season later.

Let me guess, this guy's obsession with other people's gimmicks is a reference to the gimmick tradition in professional wrestling? It sounds interesting, but for such a personality, he himself is quite multifaceted. Also, I don't understand why so many people are complaining about the one-dimensional opponents in this episode. Apparently their only goal was to get punched in one chapter and not appear again. Why make them some kind of unique characters?

The boy crush was so prominent this ep wow. Also, I love how Sakura gushed about his first friend group, and instead of making fun of him for it, Kotoha just adds her own contact info. It's a cuter, slightly less deranged version of Bocchi's reaction—also, I thought Sakura's only contacts would be his parents. XD
