"Wind Breaker - Episode 4" begins with a long monologue from Umemiya of Bofurin, passionately discussing leafy vegetables for five minutes. At the same time, Sakura discovers that Hiragi's stomach issues stem from Umemiya's tendency to talk too much without listening, adding a humorous twist to their vegetable conversation.
The episode takes a dramatic turn when Sasaki, a boy previously saved by Bofurin, recounts his encounter with a shoplifter, which leads him into the territory of a rival group, the Shishitoren. Sasaki is pursued by the Shishitoren until Sakura and Sugishita intervene and free him. Umemiya praises Sasaki's dedication to protecting the community and recognizes his leadership potential, earning him the respect and admiration of the group—including Sakura, who openly criticizes the Shishitoren.
The tension escalates when Choji Tomiyama, the leader of the Shishitoren, appears at Furin High School. He challenges several students to fights, defeats them, and out of boredom, challenges Umemiya to a duel. In response to Tomiyama's provocation, Umemiya takes on a more responsible leadership role and proposes a series of one-on-one fights between members of both groups.
As the scene shifts to Kohota’s café, the narrative delves deeper into Bofurin’s internal dynamics. The sibling-like bond between Umemiya and Kotoha, who grew up in the same household, is discussed. Hiragi confides in Sakura about the importance of protecting Kotoha from harm.
Toward the end of the episode, Hiragi reflects on the evolving dynamic with the Shishitoren under Tomiyama’s leadership. Umemiya sees the looming confrontation with the Shishitoren as an opportunity to better understand their rivals. The episode concludes with Bofurin preparing to infiltrate Shishitoren territory, hinting at an impending showdown.
