According to the official preview synopsis of Wind Breaker season 2 episode 1, the premiere might begin with a brief recap of Sakura getting crowned as a Grade Captain. This happened in the climax episode of the first season, where the male protagonist elected Nirei and Sou as his vice captains.
Afterward, the first years noticed something wrong with Anzai's behavior. So, Sakura was forced to ask Anzai about his troubles. Anzai revealed that his childhood friend, Nagato, was forced to join a mysterious gang named KEEL. This gang was forcing him to do illegal acts, and after Anzai discovered Nagato, they held the childhood friend.
To save Nagato, the first-year students unite and march toward KEEL's base, as stated in the Wind Breaker season 2 episode 1 preview. While the preview doesn't shed any light on how the first interaction between the two groups goes, it does emphasize that Sakura's class and KEEL will clash.
Moreover, the Wind Breaker season 2 episode 1 preview also reveals the debut of Natori Shingo, the captain of KEEL. While everyone else from Sakura's class fights the members of KEEL, the male protagonist fights the gang's leader. The preview also mentioned KEEL's key strategic moves.
Firstly, the gang uses 'fear-inducing provocations,' hinting that they might just be all bark and no brawn. However, their talk might be enough to intimidate their opponents. Secondly, the gang uses a violent style of fighting, hinting that they might also use weapons in their fights.
