Wind Breaker episode 6 recap

Expand Tweet

Wind Breaker episode 6 began with the fallout of Hayato Suo’s fight against Kanuma, including Kanuma dragging himself and Arima off to the side.

The Bofurin boys then congratulated Suo on his victory, with Umemiya commenting on how great it is that the freshmen are already inspiring each other.

Toma Hiragi and Kota Sako then took the stage, with the latter overwhelming the former early on as a scene of the two training by a river as children played out.

The fight continued in this fashion until Sako landed a seemingly devastating kick on Toma. Sakura became angry at how weak Toma was, but Umemiya reminded him he’s one of the Four Kings, specifically Bishamonten, the god of war.

Toma then got up and mounted a comeback, as the pair’s backstory played out. Toma first met Sako when saving him from bullies in elementary school, also teaching him to fight at Sako’s request.

However, in middle school, Toma decided to go to Furin to support Umemiya, while Sako wanted to make Toma the strongest. Toma told Sako to find his own path, prompting him to take his anger out in fights and get discovered by the Shishitoren.

In the present, Toma apologized to Sako before ending their fight, with Sako revealing he just wanted to be by Toma’s side. The episode ended with Toma teasing Togame that Sakura will beat him.

Wind Breaker episode 7 what to expect (speculative)

With Toma’s victory against Sako, Wind Breaker episode 7 seems to unfortunately be setting up a major early-series loss for protagonist Haruka Sakura.

While it’s possible that he still wins and the Bofurin sweeps this matchup, this seems unlikely. Likewise, Sakura is the most likely candidate to lose given his role as protagonist and the stakes surrounding Umemiya and Tomiyama’s fight.

Episode 7 should likewise be a very developmental episode for Sakura, especially if he loses and even if he wins the fight against Togame. However, if he does win the fight against Togame, fans can expect his next major fight in the series to almost certainly be a loss.
