Wind Breaker - Episode 24

The episode begins with a celebration at the „Hidaka Diner,“ where Roppo Ichiza, Furin members, and the former GRAVEL fighters (under Suzuri’s leadership) celebrate Shizuka’s rescue and Suzuri’s integration into Keisei Street. The relaxed atmosphere is abruptly interrupted when Yamato Endo, a former Furin student and legendary figure, appears. He reveals himself as the mastermind behind Shizuka’s kidnapping and provokes the group.

Endo particularly confronts Sakura, criticizes his affiliation with Furin, and claims that his potential is being limited by the team. A fight seems imminent, but Suzuri steps protectively in front of the group and takes responsibility for Endo’s mission. Surprisingly, Endo backs down—not out of remorse, but on a „whim“—and announces he will deal with the real mastermind (an „old man“). His cryptic remark about possessing a „card against Furin“ leaves everyone uneasy.

After Endo’s departure, the group returns to the diner. Suzuri apologizes again, but Sakura emphasizes that only Endo’s actions are to blame. In a symbolic closing scene, Suzuri discovers his passion for video games—supported by the group, who patiently teach him how to play. Meanwhile, Tsubaki and Kanji discuss Endo’s threatening return and his interest in Sakura with Umemiya. The episode ends with a harbinger of new conflicts: Umemiya invites Sakura, Nirei, and Suo to an urgent meeting of the „Four Kings.“
