Episode 6 of "Wind Breaker" begins with the end of Suo's fight and transitions to Hiragi's battle against Sako, one of the top fighters of the Shishitoren. The episode reveals a deep grudge that Sako holds against Hiragi. As the fight progresses, Sako dominates and lands a powerful blow that seemingly defeats Hiragi.

Sakura becomes furious upon hearing Sako insulting Furin and Hiragi, but Umemiya calms him down and explains Hiragi's status as one of the four kings of Bofurin and leader of the Tamonten team. He compares Hiragi to Bishamonten, the god of war. At that moment, Hiragi recovers and turns the tide.

A flashback shows the first encounter between Hiragi and Sako. Sako was bullied for his intelligence until Hiragi intervened. Inspired by this, Sako wanted to follow Hiragi to Furin High to help him become the strongest. However, Hiragi advised Sako to forge his own path and explained that he wanted to support Umemiya instead. Feeling betrayed, Sako sought strength through constant fighting, eventually joining the Shishitoren under the influence of Choji and Togame.

Back in the present, Hiragi is on the path to victory. Sako's inner monologue reveals his lingering admiration for Hiragi. After defeating Sako, Hiragi gently moves him aside to protect him from Togame's disrespect. When Hiragi returns to Umemiya, he is asked about his past with Sako. Umemiya expresses his interest in hearing it whenever Hiragi is ready to share.
