Wind Breaker episode 5 recap

Wind Breaker episode 5 began with Choji Tomiyama, Jo Togame, and the other Shishitoren fighters leading Haruka Sakura and co to their hideout.

Formerly a theater called the Orion, it’s now called the “ORI” by the Shishitoren, meaning cage. Likewise, inside was the rest of the Shishitoren gang, rowdy enough to mimic animals trapped in a cage. The fight began with Kyotaro Sugishita going first against someone named Arima.

Arima started by calling out to Umemiya in order to trick Sugishita into looking away, then hitting him with a punch square in his face. However, Sugishita was unfazed, grabbing Arima’s arm and telling him to use an honorific with Umemiya before slamming him into the ground.

With the fight over already, Jo Togame was shown to be visibly annoyed by this loss (which Umemiya noticed), while Tomiyama was excited about seeing such a strong fighter in Sugishita.

Hayato Suo then fought against Arima’s close friend Kanuma next. Kanuma made the first move, but couldn’t land a hit on Suo and even seemingly was stumbling over himself.

As the fight progressed, it was revealed that not even Suo’s allies knew much about him, but it was clear that he was trained in some sort of martial art. The episode ended with Suo humiliating Kanuma to the point of Jo Togame declaring the fight over and kicking him out of the gang.

Wind Breaker episode 6 what to expect (speculative)

With Umemiya versus Tomiyama already confirmed as the final fight, Wind Breaker episode 6 will likely see Toma Hiragi fight against his apparent childhood friend Kota Sako next. This would save Sakura versus Togame for the penultimate bout, which is fitting since Togame is the second-in-command of the Shishitoren.

However, episode 6 is unlikely to see Sakura versus Togame start, instead spending its full time on Toma versus Sako. This will likely lead to additional backstory on both with a focus on Toma, and is also likely to lead to the Bofurin’s first loss in the fight.

This would also setup Sakura to avenge his senior in the fight against Togame, making it further likely that episode 6 focuses exclusively on Toma’s likely losing effort.
