They put a lot of pressure on Haruka. Tbh, I do think he has some leadership skills.

Looks like Kaji and him has some drama already. For Haruka, he needs to control his emotions and lead by example. Feels like this is a buildup towards the season finale and potentially new season/arc. Kaji expressing all those emotions were not on my bingo card.

They putting too much pressure on my boy Sakura. Dude's a tsundere and they want him to call them by names... yeah okay.

But yeah, I really don't know where this show is going now that the Shishitoren arc is over. Looks like author is just going as he, well, goes lol. Knowing that another cour/season is coming after next weeks finale, wonder what it both could entail.

Finally, we are shown a little of the atmosphere of the neighborhood and the people who inhabit it. How the important people in Furin appear.
Seeing how Sakura began to want to learn to be able to get to know and open up with friends was a cute sight, then how she got a little / no on her goal at Furin High School.

Suo, Tsugeura and Kiryu, even Nirei supporting Sakura to be the Grade Captain, a class hierarchy like that definitely raise some hairs, as such with Ren Kaiji, Tamon Team's 2nd Year Grade Captain.

Everyone in agreement with Sakura being the 1st Years' Grade Captain, and more contacts aside, Sakura is at a loss not knowing what to do. Instead, following Ren is the best choice to see what he does, and the tsundere gangster more than being afflicted by the class virtually, having to save a grandmother's pet cat with this much effort, Ren might've pushed his luck too much, but like Sakura, being chosen for the job that he did not want to do and ending up relying on his buddies of Enomoto and Kusumi, all Ren could do is to support them as a leader. And that's the same circumstance with Sakura leading the 1st Years.

Kotoha being supportive of Sakura's growth as Grade Captain, he tries his best to get a hold of the class, starting by knowing each and every one within the class...something which Nirei already has his knowledge streak from memorizing everyone's names, which actually proves useful just in case Sakura doesn't know. Being jealous that both Suo and Nirei have something to do, Sakura is at a loss, though seeing Furin's Four Kings with their Secondaries, I can't help but feel for a big arc incoming for the next season.

Where will the final episode next week take us? Read the manga then...

Pretty chill slice of life style penultimate episode here. Sakura being made grade captain seemed a bit too soon at first, but now that I think about it’s honestly perfect for his character development. His biggest flaw is his inability to connect with people and let his guard down.

By making him grade captain he’s going to be forced to form close relationships, remember names and faces and fully integrate himself into the school. There’s more to becoming the strongest than just fighting, it’s getting lifted up by everyone else as Umemiya has told him repeatedly. You can’t do it alone.

The cat chase scene had no business being as well animated as it was, lol. Leave it to Cloverworks and this show to make even the most mundane things look cool! Didn’t like Kaji being a smartass to the cat grandma though!

Sakura getting all bashful when Kotoha told him to call her by name was so cute 😭 bro wants to be tough so bad when he’s the sweetest thing on the inside.

That ending with the four heavenly kings of the school reminded me of Tanjirou meeting the Hashira for the first time. Next episode should be a dope finale. Some of the designs of the kings look really cool. Like was that a skirt I saw?? Definitely gonna have some interesting personalities here.

Hype for next week

Pretty wholesome and sweet stuff. Also imagine the surprise of that guy being a Okamoto Nobuhiko instead of the silent type. Like a complete 180 from the impression he gave. We already saw how athletic and nimble Sakura is and that cat chase once again showed of how flexible he is. Animation was great there.

Good advice from Kotoha chan, she really knows what advice to give Sakura. It's always fun to see their character dynamics.

The four king and their secondaries. Is that a guy dressed as a woman?

Sakura is taking on a lot of new responsibility. Being nominated for grade Captain when he's so new is a huge accomplishment. Sakura has quickly made a name for himself at Bofurin so the others in his class already support him. Suo nominating Sakura and Nirei backing up the nomination was so wholesome. The three of them are becoming a tight trio that I love seeing together. Sakura feeling overwhelmed at first with all this sudden praise until Kaji pops in. His super loud headphones causing him to scream at everyone was funny, but when they're off he talks normal. Sakura having to take his class out on patrol with some of the older captains around the town. Sakura chasing after that kitty was a lot of fun! The first person POV shots all looked great, and Sakura sure can jump around like a cat himself. He nearly had the kitty until it jumped into the river, only for Kaji to jump right in after it. Kaji talk with Sakura about why he become a grade Captain himself was great. Kaji saying he didn't have some lofty goal he just knew everyone else believed in him so he wanted to live up to those expectations. Its like fighting for someone else instead of just for yourself, which is something Sakura has never done before joining Bofurin. Sakura trying to remember everyone in his class names was so cute. Nirei is really showing how invaluable he is with his memorization and knowledge of everyone at school. Sakura has come good people at his side

As soon as that granny described Rika only as wearing a pink ribbon, I knew Rika was a cat. Sakura's parkour was awesome tho, the wall jumping reminded me of Exit Path — I miss that game. It'd be cool if this anime got adapted into a video game lol.

With Kotoha and the others encouraging Sakura to learn people's names and rely on others while also being someone who others can rely on, it's like the mangaka was writing this specifically for otakus who struggle to socialize. I also noticed it earlier with how Umemiya acted like a role model/mentor. Like, it would've been easy to just dish out another delinquent story, but this is a delinquent story that can actually help readers/viewers. Yeahh sry to be a moralist oop.

I kept comparing Nirei to Takemichi but now Nirei is def better than Takemichi. Also, Sakura is justified in being first-grade captain while I wondered how Takemichi got that position, like just being in a specific place at a specific time.

So many negative comments about Wind Breaker in the thread but the show's got like a 7.8 I can't remember that kind of disconnect.

I liked the episode. Nothing wrong with a little downtime after the battle tournament. I'm not sure rescuing cats is quite what I signed up for with this anime, but if it's animated to make it as damn awesome as this episode with Sakura parkouring through town I can't complain. Sakura gently getting pushed out of his comfort zone and making an effort because others are putting faith in him is all good, the fights are great but also like this part of the story. Love that the granny made him carry her ass across town and then got in on teasing him about being bashful. Vicious.

Not sure about this high kings of Furin stuff. It sounds kind of stupid to me, but maybe it'll turn out interesting.

And Sakura has once again spent about half the episode red XD. He gets so flustered whenever anyone is remotely nice to him or when someone calls him a good guy, it’s very adorable how he gets as red as a tomato

I love his blushing tsundere moments and how he is opening up to his classmates too. The scene where he finally addressed Nirei and Suo by their names was adorable.

I like the balance between action and calm moments in this show. we have fights and then slice of life moments, meanwhile Sakura learns how to build relationships and grow as a person.

Anyway, I already love Kaji and his personality, and I'm grateful to cloverworks for making him even hotter in the anime!

So, every show with all male cast/male majority cast is automatically a yaoi now?
Every show with just girls/female majority cast is a yuri too? lol

They said Suou doesn't use his phone in front of people, yet he sent these messages when he is with Nirei and Sakura—I've read the manga but now I just realized about it.



Though maybe Suou quickly put his phone right when Sakura look at him.

Also, I didn't expect that all the Four Kings and the assistants make their first appearance this fast here.



When I saw the Anzai's scene, I was worried about the pace at first, but now I can predict (kind of) when will they end this anime so that scene might be their clue for next season... or I hope so.

Well, talking about the end, next week is the last Wind Breaker Friday :( If they can't make it as long run I hope at least they consider for a second season.

Actually, really loved this.

Just a nice, down-to-earth, relaxing episode after all the action over the last few of them.

Plus, fun to see Sakura's constant blushing :) (And nice that he's realizing his initial idea about "being at the top" was really no better than the reason Tomiyama wanted to be there).

Love to see the character growth.

@Teufel Tokyo Revengers scores are roughly in the same area for the seasons and the comments there are definitely much more brutal in negativity than this one so it's not that much of a surprise. Hell, Slime's been eviscerated for its meetings and that still is just barely below an 8. It's not that much of a surprise seeing the disconnects at times.

Nah, ignore it

Spoiler: those 2 accounts the one with random letters made a few days ago (the new account cycles every week) are all the same kid.
One account posts early every week saying ridiculous things about WB to hopefully trigger people, one account “questions” their remark, and the new account tries to roast the first account.

Imagine being that bored/unstable for a whole anime season 🫠

Most people would’ve dropped it and would’ve left a review and moved on with their lives while you’re here complaining each week πŸ’€ like if you don’t like just drop it no need to complain every week bro, like it ain’t your job 😭
