Wind Breaker chapter 169 was released on January 28, 2025. The manga just returned from a one-week break and offered the fans a much-needed beach episode where the Furin boys relaxed after the hellish battle with Takiishi's Noroshi. While everyone dived into the ocean and enjoyed their time, Suo and Kiryu remained on the sidelines, offering everyone chilled drinks.

The chapter also focused on Sugishita, who was trying his best to change his personality (something he pledged to do in the previous installment). He also raced with Sakura and enjoyed his time as everyone from Furin eased up on the beach. On the other hand, Sakura got sentimental over how much he had changed since arriving at Furin.

Wind Breaker chapter 169, titled Summer Break, commenced with the Furin Boys inviting everyone to the beach as the summer break was about to start. Sakura then got sentimental because his previous breaks were spent alone and this time, he would be accompanied by friends.

As everyone entered the beach, they realized that Sugishita was also accompanying them. As he was a 'premium' member, because this was his first time accompanying his friends on a trip, everyone decided to not go light on him.

While everyone was getting ready to dive into the water, Suo and Kiryu secluded themselves as they hadn't brought their swimwear. Instead, they started chilling everyone's drinks in a cooler. They also handed out snacks to keep everyone happy. When Sugishita went near them, Suo and Kiryu handed him a chilled drink with a pouch of snacks.

After receiving these from them, Sugishita tried thanking them but could only say '..an. you.' As he pledged to change himself in the previous chapter, Sugishita was taking baby steps toward his goal. However, Suo teased the topic of Sugishita's conversation with Nirei.

Sugishita panicked after this (as he thought told his words to someone else), but Suo changed the topic and told him that he also wanted to talk to Sugishita for a long time. Everyone started enjoying themselves in their own worlds, including enjoying shaved ice (and getting a brain freeze), playing games in the water, and more.

Wind Breaker chapter 169 then saw everyone getting ready for the main event of their trip, which was to play a game of 'catch the flag.' On the sandy beach, a flash would be set up and whoever picked it up the fastest would win. As rounds passed by, winners qualified for the next round.

In the end, Sakura and Sugishita were the finalists as they outdid everyone who tried to challenge them. These two then raced to the flag, which was where the Wind Breaker chapter 169 ended.
