Wind Breaker episode 8 recap
Wind Breaker episode 8 began with Sakura noticing that Togame had lost steam as their fight had gone on. The former asked him why this was the case. Togame laughed and said he didn’t know, prompting a flashback to Togame telling Choji about the Bofurin scuffle. He says he thought this would trigger a change in Choji, but it obviously didn’t.
Looking at the faded Shishitoren emblem on stage, he said he wanted to go to the mountains when Sakura asked what he wanted to do.
Sakura then said Togame was strong, but lame, saying he’d make him an awesome guy he’ll want to fight by the time they’re done. Sakura then kicked Togame and sent him flying into a wall, where he began laughing. He then landed a big punch, undid his hair, and reintroduced himself, resuming their fight. Togame said Sakura was getting better at fighting as the two laughed while fighting, horrifying the other Shishitoren members.
Eventually, the two swung their final punches, with Sakura’s connecting first due to Togame “giving up” on the fight. Choji then went on stage, and brutally kicked Togame when he tried to talk him out of fighting Umemiya. Sakura tried to swing on Tomiyama, but Umemiya stopped him and began talking to Choji. The episode ended with Choji rushing at Umemiya, who blocked all his attacks and landed a punch that caused Choji’s nose to bleed.
What to expect from Wind Breaker episode 9 (speculative)
Wind Breaker episode 9 is titled Umemiya's Style. According to the preview synopsis, the next episode will see the most anticipated fight of the series, Umemiya versus Choji. As seen in the preview images, Umemiya finally managed to land a blow on Choji, meaning fans could see a serious leader fighting in the next episode.
Moreover, the preview synopsis also revealed that Choji started laughing hysterically after a backstory of the old days, thus hinting that fans could see an awakening of the Shishitoren's boss, thus making the final fight even more intense than it already is. With Umemiya fighting someone for the first time in the series, what surprises await fans about Bofurin's leader?
