Wind Breaker episode 7 recap
In the 7th episode of Wind Breaker, Jo Togame experienced a moment of reflection, where he appeared to be grieving over something lost. However, he quickly snapped out of it and joined Sakura on the stage for their highly anticipated fight. As the battle commenced, it became evident that Togame possessed far greater strength than the previous fighters from Shishitoren.
Sakura gave it his all and managed to land some solid hits. Yet, he struggled to gain the upper hand. When Togame forcefully pinned Sakura to the ground by slamming his foot into his head, Sakura brought up the issue of Shishitoren's bullying tactics and their mistreatment of weaker individuals, which had sparked the entire conflict.
Togame appears to have made a connection and it seems that he was unaware of Arima and Kanuma's assault on the middle schooler from Furin's territory. He takes a brief pause from the fight to approach Arima and Kanuma, intending to teach them a lesson. After giving them a good beating, he confiscates their Shishitoren jumpers. At that moment, Choji Tomiyama advises him to rejoin the fight and assures him that he will handle everything else later. As Togame returns to the battle, he begins reflecting on his own team's history.
Choji was the one who recruited him after witnessing his impressive victory against a group of Shishitoren fighters. They formed an unbreakable bond and became an incredibly powerful team. Together, they not only emerged victorious in every battle they faced but also swiftly rose to the top of Shishitoren. Choji's charismatic personality brought everyone together, earning him the nickname "the sun" from Togame.
However, when Choji assumed leadership of Shishitoren, his perspective changed drastically. He became ruthless and expelled anyone who lost a fight. In order to preserve the belief in Choji's sunny disposition, Togame willingly took on the role of a merciless second-in-command, ensuring Choji's happiness and maintaining the image of the sun that everyone admired. Reflecting on their shared history, Togame returns to the present, ready to once again confront Sakura in battle.
Nevertheless, Sakura detects an unsettling aura surrounding Togame and openly expresses his concern. He observes that Togame is no longer evading his kicks nor attempting to strike his adversary, indicating a lack of full commitment to the battle due to distraction. This realization leaves Togame pondering his own actions, while Choji gazes at him intently from his spot in the audience. With the episode concluding at this point, it is evident that their confrontation will persist into the next episode.
