Thoroughly enjoyed Sugishita getting annoyed by the tiny, fast runt who did not give him a decent enough fight.

Honestly, the fight ended way quicker than I thought it would; maybe most other episodes will be spent on a different fight—- I quite enjoyed the shifts between different characters and how their fights were coming along.

Sugashita: “I hate you small and nimble types” -well something like that, anyways

That quote was funny because it showed a flashback of him fighting Sakura. In no ways is Sakura small.

Not bad, the fights were great, watching them rise from the ashes and beat the crap out of those brainless fools was pretty satisfying.

It was nice to see Kaji beat up the KEEL leader and hopefully that's the last we see of them. Meanwhile Sakura has matured a bit and took what Kaji told him to heart.

On an unrelated note, these first 2 episodes of S2 inspired thoughts that this series would be a great adaption for a beat 'em up videogame and after I did a quick online search I found that there's a mobile RPG gacha game, too bad it wasn't made into a beat 'em up like Final Fight.

@metatron13

This has just been a strange way to start a seaon though, halfway through a fight that end so quickly. I assume we will move quite quickly into a new antagonist.

@Vindicater Well, it hit the ground running, and it worked to get everybody's attention. As to the next arc, I'm waiting eagerly for it to come.

CGI aside, the animations are fine imo.

I wished we get to see Suou fought because I like his fighting style the most, but we only got to see him at the end of his fight.

Conflict with Keel ended in 2 episodes. I thought it was going to be the focus for a while. Or maybe it's not over just yet?

The captain of Keel wanted to see Kaji's animal side and he got it. He was laughing like a maniac while he was getting punched hard. He was so happy to see Kaji's craziness that he didn't notice he was being destroyed.

Yeahh, Never turn your back on anyone. That's probably the key point of this series. Cuz the majority of people don’t have the courage to express their feelings to others. Really good key point.

@Kennytaicho No. The Keel arc has 25 chapters but it started already in the first season in the episodes where they introduced this pink-haired and red-haired strongman and when they were protecting that girl in the cafe.

This season, in these two episodes they adapted about 10 chapters plus in the next episode they will finish this arc

Cloverworks did a great job in animation.
I need somebody who can love me at my worst
No, I'm not perfect, but I hope you see my worth
'Cause it's only you, nobody new, I put you first
And for you, girl, I swear I'll do the worst

If you stay forever, let me hold your hand
I can fill those places in your heart no else can
Let me show you love, oh, I don't pretend, yeah

Ah, yes, as usual, the Furins (not just the MC) suddenly gain power so they can defeat the entire KEEL, even though they were clearly "massacred" in the previous episode. Just a little extra, I think the Kaji vs Natori Shingo fight ended in a ridiculous way—just like that?

Anyway, after the end of the Anzai problem (related to KEEL), what will this anime offer for at least ten more episodes? Will more or less the same problem repeat itself in the future? Let's wait and see!

The furin guys are strong when getting serious, like ending the fight in an episode strong. We got to see their charecteristics on display in their fighting style. Like Taiga giving the opponent chance to hit and making it a fair close fight like the entertainer he claims to be. Mitsuki controlling the full tempo of the fight. Sugishita just brute force it and as usual Sakura built different. Bros growing up to be a leader really fast. I got emotional when he said what Kotoha said to him back at the begining. And last but not least, Suou walking looked like a menace, gave me chills. That was sick. Ren and the other senpais did their part too. Great episode.

Episode 2 was packed with action and hyped moments. Animations were clean the sound work and the music too.
This episode actually showed us what Bofurin is and the bond between friends.
Sakura's character development seems to be good and noticeable.
Overall a great episode

Jesus, this is so fucking rough and janky it’s not even funny. Season one at least kept decent quality for half the season, here, we’re already this broken at the start. Yikes.

Oh, and don’t forget the story, it’s just as rough. Random fights between characters I don’t care about and characters we just met, who we’re suddenly supposed to care about and cry for just because they slapped a “sad” OST in the background. Ffs. This show is so childish, it’s laughable.

That was straight up beautiful from both the animation and the story behind it.

Once Haruka snapped out of his funk, he PUMMELED Takeru despite getting jumped, while the rest of the class handled their matchups as well. I don't know what kind of pressure point magic voodoo shenanigans that Tsuki pulled against Renji, but he did it, not to mention the EMOTIONAL DAMAGE by analyzing why the dude doesn't get girls. If you're gonna dish it, you better be able to take it.

So back in the day, Ren used to be some kind of beast, but Toma Hiragi was able to teach him to control that rage, and Ren used it well to defeat Shingo Natori. The weird thing is how much the dude was laughing while getting his cheeks clapped (NO HOMO). Speaking of, the best animated fight so far in terms of choreography and creativity. The way Ren swung off the hook was AMAZING.

Then to end things off, Haruka's speech to Nagato was something, reminiscent of what Kotoha said to him in the first episode. Man that was beautiful, and the music added to the emotion of that scene, along with everybody else chiming in.

I'm assuming that we'll learn about the context of all of this in the next episode as everybody cools down from the ass whooping they delivered.

Pure chills man Cloverworks delivered one of the best Wind Breaker episodes yet and an absolutely perfect end to this Nagato retrieval arc. Couldn’t have asked for more, everyone got their time to shine, the animation was insane, that OST elevated all the emotional moments and Sakura handled his first leadership role very well. Can’t wait to see where we go now.

My goat Sakura really put in a shift today. Handled his fight, made sure to keep Suo in check and that no one went too far in their fights as well. Bofurin may have been initially outnumbered, but they had an actual good cause they were fighting for unlike Keel who were just led by fear.

Speaking of KEEL leadership let’s all laugh at Shingo’s dumbass ๐Ÿ˜‚ ๐Ÿ˜‚ talked all that shit about wanting the real Kaji to come out and guess what, he got em. Couldn’t handle em and is now out colder than a goddamn polar bear. What an idiot. Cloverworks absolutely cooked with that fight, one of if not the best in the series thus far.

We really just met them, but I got a lil emotional with Anzai and Nagato’s making up scene. When you think about it, Bofurin went through all this just to help out one of their own and that’s so beautiful to me. It didn’t personally benefit any of them, but their homie wanted his friend back and they made it happen. Also just shows how much Sakura has opened his own heart up, he really NEEDED to see Anzai, Nagato and Tsuchiya back together again because that’s the sort of bond he’s always wanted.

Phenomenal episode, wonder where we go from here, who’s our next gang of delinquents ๐Ÿค”

P.S Mitsuki teasing the one Keel dude about how no girl would ever look his way is still cracking me up. Love all the points on the gender spectrum represented in this show.
@Marinate1016 Colder than a polar bear is a clean line.

And Haruka is growing as a leader for sure. He's no longer the guy who just wants to fight the strongest.

@Kennytaicho Manga chapters are irrelevant here because this is about the ANIME. And no, I don't feel that it was very fast paced. It ended quickly, but the pacing was just fine.

The head honcho of KEEL, Shingo Natori vs. Kaji, this is one fierce fight.

The ravaging of Bofurin vs. KEEL continues as Sakura and the 1st Years having Kaji and the rest to fill in for them and to regain their morale, it's quite the boost they've been looking for to finally put the enemy gang in their place and turn the tide around.

Kaji having his moment against Shingo, being reinforced into the beast that he was and is now, it took guts for the latter to bring out the animal in himself, though Bofurin won at the end of the day. At the very least, Nagano's humanity is brought back, even if it's a warning from Sakura and Kaji themselves.

A resounding fight, Wind Breaker style.
@KANLen09 If you're gonna list the full name of the KEEL boss, give Ren Kaji the same treatment.

@-LG Size-wise, yes he is. Even in his class, Taiga is bigger than him. Hayato is bigger. The only one smaller is Akihiko (who isn't a fighter so it makes sense since he wouldn't have muscles that would make him bigger).

@IzanaSolos I completely disagree. The story this season is already better than what we saw in Season 1 and the animation is also more creative and ambitious with the scrapyard enviornment (i.e. Ren swinging like Spider-Man).

The quality has not dropped in the slightest.

@KingNotSkilled First of all, it wasn't a random powerup. The second years came, and that increased the morale, plus Haruka snapped out of his funk so he got in the zone, like how LeBron Raymone James got in the zone on June 7th, 2012.

@Jollyne7 Just to let you know then, "first grade" in the U.S. refers to the grade after Kindergarten, and it has kids from 6-7 years old.

The term you were likely going for would be "first-year" or simply Freshman. Either of those refer to students in their first year of high school.

CHILLS BRO!!!!!! Phenomenal episode man this shit was fucking beautiful from the start to the end, everybody got their time to shine and showcase why they’re strong, like Mitsuki doing whatever the hell he did to that one guy gave me chills same with Suo looking down on his opponent and about to wail on the dude. Kaji going berserk mode against Mithrowing 9 punches and leaving 1 punch left was SO cold of him to do, I thought bro would let Sakura to get the last hit but its fine either way this episode was just 10/10 perfection bro๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ซ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ซ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ซ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ”ฅ

Guys all I hear is Itadori speaking whenever Natori be speaking like it’s so surreal hearing Yuji’s VA talking like he’s Mahito bro๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ’€

The animation during Kaji vs Natori was EYE CANDY this nigga Kano was running flipping around jumping grabbing the metal chains and just straight up throwing hands and the animation with Natori swinging his bat was so amazing as well like Cloverworks really put in so much love into this arc man๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ”ฅ

Ik I mentioned it before but imma say it again…SUOOOOOOOOOO YOU ARE SO COLD MAN I wanna see him go berserk mode bc I lowkey get the feeling bro would go off on everybody even his own friends๐Ÿ˜ญ

Sakura lowkey like me when he said “you can’t even look at him in the face” and that’s exactly what I would’ve said like bro really was on all 4 fours wondering why everyone would do this for him like this dude is so mentally broken i feel bad for him thinking that about himself and tbh idk how bro even got into this KEEL gang anyway like this life ain’t for bro and I hope he and Anzai can chill now and not worry about KEEL anymore. And the OST playing in the background during all that was really heartwarming man this was such a great end to this Retrieval Arc๐Ÿฅนโค๏ธ๐Ÿ”ฅ
