Wind Breaker chapter 168 recap
Wind Breaker chapter 168, titled To Show Color, commenced with a focus on Ummeiya, who was harvesting his newly grown crops. Sugishita then arrived and said that he was leaving. This shocked the Furin Leader, but Sugishita revealed that he was not leaving school but leaving the way he had acted to this day.
The chapter then shifted back to the conversation between Sugishita and Nirei. In it, the former learned about his jealousy of Sakura, as the protagonist proved more useful than him in the Noroshi War. So, he strived to become a better person in the future.
This was followed by Nirei asking Sugishita why he was loyal to Umemiya and Furin. Sugishita answered that they helped him during his hardest times, so it was a given that he would go out of his way to help Furin and its leader. Nirei complied with his thoughts but mentioned that Umemiya was about to graduate. So, Sugishita thought of changing himself before his idol graduated.
Shifting back to the start of the episode, Sugishita left Umemiya after revealing his future goals. Umemiya then turned towards the Four Heavenly Kings, who were listening to the entire conversation. All of them were glad that Sugishita was about to discover new things about himself.
What to expect from Wind Breaker chapter 169? (Speculative)
Wind Breaker chapter 169's title is yet to be revealed. As seen at the end of the previous chapter, someone screamed. This person might be Sakura, as he encountered Sugishita while the latter was leaving the rooftop.
So, Wind Breaker chapter 169 might see the first face-to-face interaction between Sugishita and Sakura after the former sorted his feelings for the latter. Will Sugishita resort to his usual behavior against the protagonist, or will his 'change' start immediately?
