Wednesday, May 14, 2025 saw the preview images, synopsis, and staff list for the upcoming Wind Breaker season 2 episode 7 release via the television anime series’ official website. This episode’s preview information was of particular interest to fans, who were hoping to see an emphasis on action after last week’s slice-of-life focus (which was still well-received).While the Wind Breaker season 2 episode 7 preview information didn’t fully explain the circumstances of the coming conflict, it does clearly communicate that one is coming. The episode also seems set to introduce a new character, who seems to be at the center of whatever protagonist Haruka Sakura and co get into next.Wind Breaker season 2 episode 7 preview teases the introduction of both a new character and conflictThe Wind Breaker season 2 episode 7 preview synopsis begins with a continuation of the last episode’s events. In order to thank them for helping Ito feel better about his marriage and late wife’s death, Tasuku Tsubakino offers to take his underclassmen out to celebrate. Haruka Sakura, Akihiko Nirei, and Hayato Suo accept Tsubakino’s gracious offer, resulting in the foursome heading to the Keisei-gai entertainment district.The area is described as “filled with the neon lights of snack bars, mahjong parlors, and bars,” clearly a hub for nightlife in what is presumably still Bofurin territory. The synopsis claims they are overwhelmed by the sights and sounds as they head to where they meet Tsubakino. However, they suddenly see a girl in a tattered white dress fall from the cherry blossoms along the way.The Wind Breaker season 2 episode 7 preview synopsis suggests that she “was being chased” before appearing in front of them. It also says that, before they can question her about her pursuers, “several thugs approach the four of them,” which is certain to lead to a fight. While the preview images don’t show who these thugs are, they do show the girl in the white dress. She has light hair and blue eyes and appears to be injured, given the scuffs on her face.The other preview images focus on Sakura and co, with one showing Sakura sporting an indignant expression on his face. Another scene shows Suo and Nirei smiling, presumably at Sakura, which may be related to his apparent indignation. The final preview image shows Nirei looking terrified, which is presumably his reaction to the “several thugs” who approach him and the others.Finally, the preview information for the Wind Breaker season 2 episode 7 lists the episode’s staff members. Hiroshi Seko is once again credited for the screenplay, and Tanaka Shiori is credited for the screenplay cooperation. Hirotsugu Hori is credited for storyboard and episode direction, with Hiroshi Kawakami and Yusuke Tanaka listed as chief animation directors.Many additional animation directors are also credited, those being Yaxun Shang, Zhuyin Lin, Kaori Akatsu, Rina Nagai, Ryosuke Sekiguchi, Mari Saito, Seiji Kuboyama, Peng Peiqi, Yui Ushio, Wenshan Zhong, Yushi Morita, and Changhee Won.Final thoughtsFans can expect Tsubakino's combat debut to take place in Wind Breaker season 2 episode 7 (Image via CloverWorks)The upcoming installment certainly appears to be a promising one, both introducing new characters and conflicts while also further developing older ones. While Tsubakino isn’t explicitly mentioned in the synopsis as being active in the episode or seen in the images, fans can expect to see him appear significantly. It’s also likely that Sakura’s recent psychological and emotional revelations will allow him to fight much more freely in the coming battle.Related linksWind Breaker season 2 episode 7 release date and timeWind Breaker season 2 episode 6 highlightsWind Breaker Season 2 complete release schedule
