Wind Breaker Season 2 Episode 7 Discussion

That Entertainment District looked like fun.

Sakura and his friends are still amazing, kicked some ass without breaking a sweat. Poor Nirei, he seemed like the most vulnerable in this episode. Sakura's reflexes were pretty imprssive imo. Ofc, this episode would have some rough fights again and that new girl is caught in the middle of it.

30 grown ass men vs 3 high schoolers. Who would win? 😂 Had forgot this was even an action series because we’d had so many wholesome episodes back to back. As usual, Cloverworks cooked today and I’m so proud of Nirei for coming into his own as a fighter. This felt like his coming out party.

Cool to see another part of town in Keisei street it looks so lively, almost like a Takeshita street in Harajuku. Too bad we couldn’t see more of it because of the dudes chasing Shizuka. Must be real tough guys to send all those dudes after one girl 🤦🏽‍♂️.

I loved Nirei and Suo’s training arc sm. Nirei’s come such a long way from the scared kid we saw in the KEEL arc. He might not have it all together yet, but he’s getting there and I’m so happy for him! It’s sweet how much of an impact Sakura has already had on the rest of the group and he doesn’t even know it.

It’s pretty dope Sakura and the boys may have just ended a longstanding beef between Furin and Roppo Ichiza now that they helped out Nakamura and his crew lol. Nakamura seems cool af and I feel like they could be older brother figures to a lot of the Bofurin gang!

Tsubaki pole dancing?!!! Hello???! Cloverworks really wanted to flex their muscles in this episode, nice mix of slice of life, wholesome and action. Exactly what makes wind breaker so good. I love this series and these boys sm. can’t wait for next ep.

Sakura makes it clear that you don't have to fight, or even look cool, to be friend with him. But when you're a friend of someone as great as him, you can't help but be inspired by him. Inspired to look cool, inspired to be able to fight.

And I kinda hope Sakura will be inspired by Tsubaki to be a pole dancer, but he doesn't seem to be inspired though (unlike Nirei).

The episode name "night district" makes me expect something like Sakura doing a stripping dance in a bar host club, so I'm disappointed that it's not heading into the direction that I want, but I'm not disappointed in the production quality, which is as good as usual.

I asked for more action, and I got it, but I'm still annoyed...

They had to fall back on "rescue a woman in distress" yet again. How many times has it been, since Season 1?

It's also the same pattern of demolishing like 30 goons, who were all chasing after the one woman (for what reason, and why that headcount? They never say).

This time it's a bunch of adults, Yakuza thugs, no less...

At least there's been a change in setting and new characters, so I'm interested in what they get up to.

@Spoof_490 Nope. I went back and checked.

- Kotoha got rescued twice in Episode 1.
- Nirei stands up to some goons harassing a shop clerk, gets beat up for it before Sakura comes to the rescue.
- That chill pink-haired guy rescues a random girl getting harassed, and the whole crew has to fight off the goons later.

That's just the ones I found. That's not to mention the middle schoolers that Sakura rescued, which kicked off the entire Shishitoren arc.

Almost every event in the story started off with some girl getting rescued. I mean, come on... They couldn't come up with some different scenarios?

Best episode of the entire franchise yet.

Loving Season 2. Every episode just gets better and better.

It feels like the author decided he needed to pander to a certain audience rather than tell a cohesive story. Why is an entire arc of this show dedicated to one cross-dresser? We get it, live your life, don't judge others, stop hitting us over the head with the same dull SJW quotes.
