When Will Wind Breaker Episode 8 Release?

Wind Breaker Episode 8 will be released on Thursday, May 23rd. While the series is scheduled to release episodes on Fridays in Japan, time zone differences lead to the episodes dropping in the U.S. a day earlier on Thursdays. With only a few episodes left in this first season, this big story arc of Bofurin versus Shishitoren will seemingly be the only focus of the remaining episodes. Most of the fights have been finished at this point, with only two more remaining before the agreed rules of engagement between the two groups come to an end.

The last episode ended with a cliffhanger, as the conclusion of the fight between Sakura and Jo Togame was interrupted by a series of flashbacks about the latter character. While Togame and Shishitoren as a whole first came across as one-dimensional antagonists, more light is being shed on the group’s complicated nature.
