Wind Breaker episode 11 recap

Expand Tweet

Wind Breaker episode 11 began with Sakura walking to school as Nirei and Suo caught up with him. This embarrassed Sakura as they had been calling out to him for quite some time, with their friendly demeanor also embarrassing him. They then went to school, where Sakura formally met Taiga Tsureuga. He wanted to know what Sakura’s virtue was but was unable to find out, so he invited him to a professional wrestling-themed restaurant after school.

While there, Mitsuki Kiryu entered with a date, prompting Tsureuga to say they should all sit together. Kiryu rejected this, prompting Tsureuga to go over to the table and demand they all sit together (in a friendly way). Kiryu then pointed out Tsureuga’s size to him, and how he may scare people if he yells like he is with Kiryu’s date. He apologized to them both, but they still left. However, as they left the restaurant, Sakura and co heard noise from outside.

It was revealed that this wasn’t Kiryu’s date, but someone he protected from local thugs. Sakura and Tsureuga then got involved in the fight, while Suo and Nirei hung back to protect the girl. After the fight, the group of boys all exchanged contact info, setting up a group chat where they discussed Grade Captain nominations. The episode ended with Suo silently nominating Sakura for their Grade Captain role after they all arrived at school the next day.

What to expect from Wind Breaker episode 12 (speculative)

Wind Breaker episode 12 is titled Someone to Rely on. As indicated in the previous episode, the class leader selection has begun and Suou recommended Sakura as the first candidate to become the class leader. As expected from the character of the protagonist, he considers himself an outsider and feels reluctant to accept such a big responsibility.

To clear his nervousness, Suou claims that he and Nirei would become the vice-captains. But as indicated by the preview trailer, Kaji, one of the second-years, considers Sakura unworthy of becoming the next class leader. Upon hearing his disrespectful words, will Sakura take his anger out on his senior?
