It's already spring, and now the series of anime being broadcast has also changed. Currently, the spring 2024 anime has started broadcasting since early April. One anime that attracts fans' attention is Wind Breaker. This anime started broadcasting on April 4, 2024 and tells the story of Haruka Sakura, a new student at Furin High School. Haruka is determined to fight his way to the top and become the strongest of them all. Haruka doesn't want to deal with the weak, he is only interested in the strongest among the strong. But Haruka is not interested in being a hero or being part of any team, he just wants to fight to reach the top and become the strongest.

Wind Breaker is an anime adapted from the popular manga with the same title by Satoru Nii. Set in a high school filled with delinquents who want to become heroes to protect their city. If you are interested in following the story, this anime has several interesting things that are worth considering. The following are reasons why you must watch the Wind Breaker anime.

Reasons to Watch Wind Breaker

1. Every Character Has Their Fighting Style

Because this anime is synonymous with fighting among characters, this anime has cool fighting action that is presented in the anime. Apart from that, another advantage is that each character has a dynamic and fast fighting style which makes the fighting atmosphere not boring and remains tense. What's more, each character has their fighting style which makes each character unique and their own identity.

For example, Sakura likes to jump high every time he wants to attack, Matsumoto who focuses on wrestling techniques, Kaji who is superior in agility, and Yanagida who is good at using boxing techniques.

2. Talks About Youngster's Identity Crisis

This anime is not just about non-stop fighting but takes you back to the roots of the school delinquent genre that is loved by many anime fans. If you follow the anime, you will understand how Sakura has some kind of trust issues with other people due to his dark past. This makes Sakura feel like he has to reach the top of the delinquent world by fighting to be the best to get value in his life.

Fortunately, Sakura entered the Bofurin gang environment which was considered positive. Because they don't just fight aimlessly, but act as city security guards. From this Sakura incident, we can see how the anime tries to raise issues that exist among teenagers. Where young people usually have difficulty understanding themselves, they are often caught in various negative behaviors such as brawls and even vandalism.

3. An Interesting Main Character

The shounen genre has main characters who attract the hearts of fans. Either from nature or maybe from the attractive visuals. Likewise, Wind Breaker has a reactive, determined, and perceptive personality. Because he is very ambitious to be the strongest, he is often judged and ostracized by other people. So he became a loner had a naughty personality and became a delinquent. Sakura's standoffish behavior is shown to be a defense mechanism he employs in response to the constant discrimination he faces.

Sakura feels uncomfortable when people show kindness or accept him, even if it is a good thing. He is also afraid of forming bonds with other people and feels less confident in himself other than his fighting abilities as he considers that to be his self-worth. However, it seems that you can see how Sakura's character development is surrounded by a positive environment which will bring about changes in him who will slowly start to open up to people who are truly sincere to him.

4. Has Many Positive Social Norms

Not only does it highlight the exciting and tense battles of the anime. But Wind Breaker also has a lot of social value that can be taken from its story. This makes Wind Breaker anime different from other delinquent anime. As shown by Sakura when he first saves Kotoha and returns one of Kotoha's customers' items at the cafe. Or maybe how Kotoha returned the favor after being helped by Sakura at that time by treating him to a meal, is a good example from this anime.

Apart from that, even though this anime shows a lot of fighting, Wind Breaker can show how to apply or use this power for the right things. This can be seen from how the Bofurin gang, even though they are delinquents, have succeeded in enforcing security in their city by prohibiting any gang from doing damage in the city. So this makes them much loved by the people around them.

5. Supporting Characters who Support the Main Character

Apart from the main character who has attractive characteristics and visuals, Wind Breaker also shows other heroine characters who are interesting and support the main character. For example, Kotoha Tachibana, a cafe waitress who was previously helped by Sakura when she first arrived in the city. Kotoha can show quite a deep personality and insight in understanding Sakura. So she often gives Sakura the right support. If it weren't for her support, Sakura might be trapped in his bad thoughts without being able to change himself for the better.

So, those are some reasons that you might consider following Wind Breaker. What do you think?
