Wind Breaker chapter 177 recap

Wind Breaker chapter 177, Vision of Strength, commenced where it left off as the new gang was getting beaten by Sakura and Kiryu. Eventually, only the glasses boy remained, who started begging for his life before Kiryu. However, Kiryu helped him stand up and claimed not to be friends with the glasses boy's gang. He then gave the boy a warning as Sakura and Kiryu left the hideout.

While they were on their way home, Kiryu inquired of Sakura about the protagonist's reason for helping him. Sakura boldly claimed that he considered Akari a strong woman, which prompted him to act. Kiryu then told Sakura about how Akari had already planned her future from a very early time, which added to why she was a strong woman.

The installment then shifted to a flashback of Kiryu's childhood, where Akari protected him from their father's wrath. Eventually, Kiryu also wanted to get stronger, but the reason behind this change was to protect Akari from the cruel world. Sadly, Akari lost her voice before her father, which made Kiryu think that there was no point in fighting for his rights.

However, with Sakura's claim about Akari, Kiryu considered getting stronger again. As the installment returned to the current time, Kiryu demanded that Sakura give him a piggyback ride, as he was too tired. Even though Sakura was against it, he eventually picked up Kiryu as Kiryu claimed to praise Sakura for his bravery in the future.

Wind Breaker chapter 178 title is yet to be revealed. The next installment might see Kiryu and Sakura reach out to Akari and tell her about everything that was happening with her behind her back.

Akari might start crying because her brother risks his life to protect her, but she will eventually open her feelings towards Kiryu. Moreover, Wind Breaker chapter 177 might also see Sakura blushing after Akari praises him for protecting her.
