Wind Breaker Season 2 Episode 9 Discussion

“Girls always have one or two secrets” I’d almost gone two weeks without crying to windbreaker so of course they had to break my streak this week with Shizuka 😭 what an episode, this is shaping up to be my fave yet I’m so excited. Tsubakino supremacy!!!!

Shizuka get behind me!! We will protect you. Idk what she’s running from, but Shizuka has finally found a place where she belongs with people, and the man she loves. I’ll die about protecting her from these Gravel people and apparently the rest of the cast feel the same way lol. Idk what it’s called, but the OST that plays during that scene is soooo good too. They’ve played it during a lot of the emotional moments and it always hits.

“Those who make fun of things that people like usually aren’t satisfied with themselves” not only is that the realest shit ever from Tsubakino, but I think that’s probably at the core of this fight. Idk who hired Gravel, but it’s apparent that the leader got really upset seeing Shizuka have all these people willing to defend her. Remember gravel come from the absolute trenches and barely have food to eat, so seeing what seem to be well-off people has to set them off.

The twins in action finally!! Holy shit Cloverworks thank you!! Their coordination and tag team fighting style is amazing. The fact they ain’t let anyone touch a hair on Tsubakino as he walked up to gravel leader was so fire lol. Speaking of which, beating ass in heels is INSANE Tsubakino the icon you are.

Gravel leader got extra pissed off about Tsubakino wearing makeup, don’t think it’s a homophobia thing, more so just his anger at people having enough money to buy non essential things while his people are starving. I get that honestly, this is about more than just money now. It’s an ideological battle. Can’t wait for next episode.

Finally a proper 1V1, another episode of heat actions goodness, animators went wild, i still don't care much about the melodrama and all the crying but the clash of ideas between tsubakino doing things he likes without caring about judgement while the other guy fights for survival was pretty interesting, legit tsubakino's the most badass character of the show rn.

edit: also i have to point out that Tsubakino's fighting style being more like a dance is such a cool concept when you think about it

I hate shit that make everything sound dramatic as it seems and proceed to write the corniest dialogues known to fiction. The writing is genuinely awful oh my god.

the formula is also dogshit, what happened last arc was just reskinned except the author can't shut up about tsubaki being gay

Tsubaki carrying the show that’s for sure

Jesus fuck the AD and comp is so shit here it's not even funny.

And I thought the villans were corny and lame enough already last episode, but here come even cornier ones this episode along with yet another corny scene with that stupid ass "wHEn i..." song that they have spammed like six different times now.

Wouldn't even care about the above if the animation actually kept up, but god bro like there's ambition here, but the execution just isn't quite there.

I dont even want to watch it anymore. Season 1 was good but season 2 disappoints me sooooo mucj. I dont care that theres a new ep

Just how stupid does this look? Shizuka runs away from some old fart only to casually entrust herself to a random guy who walks her straight into the red-light district and invites her to sing at his bar. Nothing suspicious at all.

I know that making it dramatic was necessary for the plot, like having Shizuka run away to get captured so that Kanji and the others wouldn't get hurt, but all this cheesy drama wasn't something I really enjoyed.

Where did the twins even come from? Like, seriously? They just appeared between Sakura and Shizuka out of nowhere. Still, I loved seeing them fight with their perfectly synchronized moves. But I didn't like how the few CGI NPCs were moving in a stance while they were standing beside that guy who’s their leader during the conversation.

I didn't expect Tsubakino to fight well in heels, but then again, he never moved much. That whole makeup talk, how it's his ideal self, how having a heart makes him stronger, and how the other guy can never defeat him... I don't see how any of that is relevant to the show or what kind of agenda it's starting to push. There are characters without hearts or feelings who are stronger than most, so having a heart or feelings is irrelevant in a fight. It all depends on the person, not on some fixed idea.

If it's just one character, it can work, but if more individuals like Tsubakino appear, then I fear the worst for the show.

Ok why are you spoiling lol and stop spamming the forum, consolidate into one reply.
