In the previous episode, we saw members of Shishitoren boldly challenge Bofurin to a one-on-one battle at their home turf. Episode 5 brings us the exhilarating face-off between these teams, setting the stage for even more thrilling encounters in upcoming episodes.
Wind Breaker Episode 5 – The Battle
The episode kicks off as Bofurin members Hajima Umemiya, Toma Iragi, Haruka Sakura, Sayato Suo, Akihiko Nirei, and Kyotaro Sugishita arrive in Shishitoren territory, ready for combat. Upon their arrival, Shishitoren’s vice president, Jo Togame, formally welcomes them and escorts them to the arena, adorned with the Shishitoren emblem, where their team members await, eager to cheer on the fight.
First Battle: Sugishita Vs Arima
The first match features Shishitoren’s Arima Yukinari, known for his brutal force capable of breaking ribs with a single blow, challenging Sugishita. Arima attempts to disorient Sugishita with a deceitful hit to the face. However, Sugishita, enraged and fearsome, retaliates with a powerful strike that decisively ends the battle in his favor.
This unexpected victory shocks the Shishitoren spectators, instilling a sense of fear about Bofurin’s formidable prowess. A silence falls over Jo Togame, who scolds Arima for his loss, marking a surprising first win for Bofurin.
Second Battle: Suo vs kanuma
Tension mounts as the second duel is announced: Bofurin’s newcomer Sayato Suo against Shishitoren’s Minoru Kanuma, who visibly trembles from the pressure of the first match’s outcome.
Before the fight, Sayato Suo praises the Haruka Sakura. He said “When you mentioned you came here to take the top spot, I thought you were kinda stupid. I thought your words were empty and meaningless but your words and actions have a spine. I think that’s awesome. So, I’ll do my best so I can keep up with you.”
Haruka smiled and the battle was started. Nobody knows much about Sayato Suo because he was new in the Bofurin members. Even Leader Hajima Umemiya also didn’t knew much about the Suo ability so nobody knew that Suo will loose or win this match.
In battle, Suo knew that Minoru Kanuma is afraid of being defeated and Suo was still the calm in the match. Kanuma tried to punch the Suo but suo has dodged the punch with the speed of wind and that made everyone surprise. Kanuma was trying to hit the Suo again and again but Sayato Suo was dodging every single attack and it was like playing a game for him.
As Suo showcases his basic but effective fighting techniques, Kanuma’s hope dwindles. Jo Togame, witnessing his team’s spirit break, intervenes to stop the fight, declaring Suo the winner and subsequently dismissing Kanuma from the team for his poor performance.
Conclusion
Episode 5 showcased only two battles, but they were enough to keep fans on the edge of their seats, eagerly anticipating Episode 6. I will share the tiem and dates of all the Wind Breaker Upcoming Episodes here.
