Wind Breaker chapter 170 recap

Wind Breaker chapter 170, titled Resurgence, commenced with a focus on Kaji and Hiiragi training inside a dojo. The chapter then shifted to a flashback after the Noroshi war where Hiiragi was travelling to Kaji's house.
On his way, he encountered Enomoto and Kusumi, whom Kaji called to his house. Even though Hiiragi was offended by this, he accompanied them to Kaji's home.
As they reached Kaji's house, they handed him the gifts and saw him cheer up. Afterward, they entered Kaji's room and the discussion soon turned to the worries of Enomoto and Kusumi.
These two were worried about how despite their assurance, they had to leave everything on Kaji during the Noroshi war which led to him going overdrive.

Kaji, who had always despised this form of his, didn't deny his annoyance. This led to Enomoto and Kusumi kneeling before Kaji.
However, Kaji didn't throw the blame at his vice-captains because he wanted to win, and to achieve this feat, him going 'overdrive' was needed.
Moreover, due to the first-years winning their battle against Endo, Kaji wanted to regain his respect as a senior by becoming stronger and defeating stronger opponents. As the debate shifted to a wholesome side, everyone enjoyed their stay at Kaji's side.
The chapter ended with a focus on Furin students training inside a gojo as Kaji challenged Sakura to a duel.
What to expect from Wind Breaker chapter 171? (Speculative)

Wind Breaker chapter 171 title is yet to be revealed. As hinted by the climax of the previous chapter, the next chapter might commence with a showdown between Kaji and Sakura inside the dojo before the Furin High students.
Moreover, as given from the series' ongoing theme, Wind Breaker chapter 171 might still not kickstart the next arc through some events. It seems that the author might be looking for a perfect cooldown arc before starting the 'possible' final arc.
