This show man.. this fucking show. Genuinely one of the most beautiful arcs I’ve ever seen. I’ve totally forgotten this was a show about delinquents because the last month of episodes have just been so healthy.

First of all, I love the idea of the boys helping out at the Ito residence! It’s so sweet that the boys just do positive shit around the community and really make a difference with community service.

“I’ve always loved cute and pretty things” I need a collab between Tsubakino and Makoto from Painoko soo bad so many parallels in their character, except the windbreaker world seems waaay more accepting of Tsubaki than Makoto. Both are two people who struggled to conform to gender norms and having to hide who they were and conforming to societal norms.

Being “normal” is so overrated and I teared up watching Yuji and Mr. Ito explain how gender norms like clothing and makeup have evolved over time. We look at that as something for girls to do now, but back in the day there were guys wearing heels and lipstick. All of that stuff changes so much, just be true to yourself! There’s a powerful lesson in that for all of us.

The ending got me emotional again though because just as Ito and Yuji helped Tsubaki be true to himself and dress the way he wanted to, Tsubaki helped Ito finally realize how his wife felt. I hate that it had to be in death, but at least she can rest peacefully knowing her feelings have finally truly been conveyed

Amazing episode, so much stuff challenging traditional social norms and traditional relationships. Ito and Yuji’s love story is different from most, but it worked for them and that’s all that matters. That’s the theme of this episode, do what works for you!!

P.S Sakura being a massive Tsubaki/Ume shipper is sooo cute lol my MC is such an understanding king.

I believe that maybe every episodes now I will read your comment๐Ÿ˜….
You're LOVE for anime just seem so similar to mine.
It's genuine from the bottom of your soul,and sooo DEEP!๐Ÿ˜
I can feel it by your review;) .
Sincerly instead of classic eternally dissatisfied / embittered I cherish so much to read happy and positive weebs's comment^^!

Honestly I wasn't like WB's S1 much.
I was thinking than it's just about fights,and the backstories from Shishitoren was just to "do like".
But,I'm very glad to saw I was wrong.
Yes,it's not have the "new" original form of stagging.
We saw it in other animes.
It's not do the best and not the wrongest.
Meanwhile,WB really do efforts to give life lessons,to realize a chemistry between the casting,have a warm feeling,and finally be more thant just cool fights.
You inspire me to just totally relax, and CHERISH my anime and manga more.

Now WB with me went from six to eight.

Aww. Thank you so much that’s the sweetest comment I’ve got in a long time I’m glad you enjoy my writing. I love stories that really resonate with my soul and I pray I’ll never lose that passion for media.

@FrostyWeebNutz The initial story involves acceptance. It seems very fitting and in keeping with the first episode set up. There is a large cast. There are going to be different characters with different motives and goals and personalities and evolution of such when they interact. That's world building. But so far everyone of them fits into what we've been shown before.

Shit never expect Sakura blushing radar gonna be needed for the situation like that. Though the situation with those old pal truly touched the feels deep, especially looking at all those worry pretty much kinda happens for every marriage couples. Yeah, fits right to divert the attention from Tsubaki 'normal' situation. Fits right to view the relationship can be extended way long the due, by how old pals styles, can be that pretty, and, cute. Yeah, look at that last baba sticking tongue moment. Jeez

Wow, this episode was a total surprise! wonderful!
I am so glad the creators decided to mฤ…kฤ™ such an unexpected move in the theoretically "shonen/action" series. Finally some fresh air, I'm excited to see what comes next.
So far it's a great series exploring rare emotional and social topics (rare for this genre). love it!

Best episode so far. I wasn't invested that much in any of the civilians before as to this old pair. I'm also glad that there wasn't any bullying in Tsubaki's backstory.

People melting down over an LGBT character in their little punch kick anime is so funny. Throwing tantrums over the existence of people not exactly like them and chasing after women in media: peak secure behavior

Thread cleaned again.

for your information what i already wrote before in this thread:

“illness”
“woke shit”
“tranny”
“LGBTQ Propeganda”


Damn guys what is wrong with you? Learn when to keep things to yourselves, interact on the internet like you would in real life, you wouldn't say that to anyone's face would you? Restraint is not difficult, that's why I have no acceptance for such posts.

This is an anime, it's not deep, there is no “propaganda” here Crossdressing is an element that is often used in Japanese media, if that's too much for you that's ok, ey but then leave it alone.

Further posts that go in this direction will be punished directly with a 5-day ban, nobody needs such stupidity.

Lot of people here are weird. Me, I love to get to know a character, grow attached, and then watched them be a total badass. Cause you know Tsubaki's going to kick some major ass later.

Little Tsubaki feeling so confused and ashamed about "not being normal" really hit me in the feels. I'm so happy the Ito household became such a supportive fixture in his life.

It's also so great that Suo knew the meaning behind Yui's dogwood tree. It looks like Grandpa Ito can put his worries to rest and finally understand how his wife felt about him.

Im not gonna go into detail but as a trans woman this really hit close to home. while I know that tsubaki isn't trans, I still heavily relate to a lot of what he has felt. so much so that I definitely cried more than once. windbreaker isn't perfect but I adore it for the constant positive messages it tries to send. such a progressive and relevant episode.

What a lovely episode! Still peaceful, like the previous two episodes. This time we are shown the background of Tsubaki-chan, the dashing guy who loves feminine things, I believe? By the way, don't you think Tsubakino's past is a bit similar to Makoto Hanaoka from Senpai wa Otokonoko? With a slight but very significant difference. Unlike Makoto, Tsubaki had people supporting her since childhood.

So this is better than Tokyo revengers, dont get me wrong i like this character development i guess, but it just drags on, Sakura being sick, episode, this Tsubaki i have no problems with her or is it they. I loved her/their backstory and it was awesome and not in your face and how they wanted to be normal like everyone else
but this is a deliquent anime sheesh, if you;re planning on this type of character development at least make it a 20+ episodes season

The story has slowed down a bit to focus on character development. And we get to see Sakura unravel his soft side...using his Blush Radar. hihi

While I thought that this episode was decent I was expecting more action and fights as the only genre tagged for this show is "action." Perhaps Tsubaki will play a bigger role in the next big fight since he got a fairly detailed backstory.

@uchiha_yasso "propaganda" "disgusting"

I know what you are. One gay character in a show almost entirely about self-acceptance and personal connections yet you're losing it.

@radicalmac_
Yes, I don't want any forced gayass narrative in my battle shonen shows, and that's my opinion on it. Tf do you mean by self-acceptance? It's the exact opposite. A person who can actually accept himself doesn't need to change who he is. It's not like a capability or a deficiency someone is born with. Stop being hypocritical by saying nonsense shi. Go live your life the way you want, and let me live the way I want. I will keep addressing what I hate and what I don't want to see, so I will 'lose it' anytime I see shit like this.

Sappy episode yeah but where are the fights? Halfway through I was thinking maybe when they come back to the old guy they'd find him being harassed by some punks and then we'd see some action but nah
