Recap
The second episode of Wind Breaker anime showcased Haruka Sakura, disliked for his unconventional appearance and love for fighting.
Determined to climb to the top, Sakura begins his high school journey at Furin High, notorious for its delinquent population, where he aims to dominate through combat.
On his first day in town, Haruka Sakura comes to the aid of Tachibana Kotoha, defending her from a group of thugs. Invited to her cafe, Kotoha warns Sakura that he can’t rise to the top at Furin by fighting alone.
As he leaves the cafe, he’s confronted again by the thugs, now more numerous. Sakura fights bravely, shielding Kotoha but injuring his ankle in the process.
Just when it seems he’s cornered, senior students from Furin High step in to save the day. Sakura discovers that despite Furin High’s delinquent reputation, its students are admired and respected by the townsfolk.
The town, once a hub for criminal gangs, was changed by Furin High students who fought against crime and defended the community.
