Wind Breaker episode 1 recap

Expand Tweet

Wind Breaker episode 1 began with the introduction of Haruka Sakura via a dream he had, which showcased how lonely and ostracized he feels due to his unique appearance. The appearance in question is half his hair being naturally black, while the other half is naturally white (including his eyebrows and eyelashes). His eyes are also two different colors, with the right eye being black (matching his hair on that side) and the left being a golden-ish color.

The episode then jumped to some delinquents bothering a girl revealed to be Kotoha Tachibana after Haruka helped her. She then fed Haruka, with the two talking about why Haruka came to Furin town and is going to the high school. Haruka said he wanted to be the strongest since fighting is how he values his life, but she said he will never rise to the top alone. Haruka stormed off after this, asserting that he doesn’t need anyone’s strength but his own.

The delinquents from earlier then returned with larger numbers, tearing up and terrorizing Furin town. Haruka began fighting them but got injured when Kotoha came outside and he had to protect her. Thankfully, just as he was about to be taken down, other Furin High School students showed up.

The episode ended with Haruka seeing the townsfolk praising the Furin High delinquents, calling it cool and understanding what Kotoha meant earlier.

With the necessary setup and introductions done, episode 2 should begin with Haruka attending Furin High and meeting his classmates for the first time. Likewise, his fellow freshmen and his core group of friends will also likely be introduced, whether slowly with just one coming in the next episode, or quickly with all being introduced as a group.

In either scenario, episode 2 should feature him developing his friendships and relationships regardless of how quickly or slowly this is achieved. The episodes immediately following the second should also follow a similar pattern, eventually building up to whatever the major conflict of the first season will be.
