Wind Breaker Chapter 156 Recap

Wind Breaker chapter 156, titled “Overheat,”showcased the ongoing fight between Umemiya and Takiishi. This chapter reflected on their past at Furin High, where Umemiya acknowledged his failure to comprehend Takiishi’s needs, resulting in the latter’s departure from the school. Umemiya took responsibility for Takiishi becoming a ‘shadow’ and vowed to defeat him to end their conflict.

Umemiya’s deluge of strikes on Takiishi escalated their battle. He also praised Sakura, who was cheering from the sidelines, lauding her victory against Endo as remarkable and expressing hope for Furin High’s future based on her efforts. Determined to match her success, Umemiya resolved to defeat Takiishi, whom he deemed the strongest student.

As the combat continued, Takiishi attempted to counterattack, but Umemiya restrained him, signaling a significant dialogue between them. The chapter culminated with Umemiya landing a decisive blow, seemingly incapacitating Takiishi, as implied by Umemiya’s earlier comments.

What to Expect from Wind Breaker Chapter 157? (Speculative)

The title of Wind Breaker chapter 157 has yet to be disclosed. Given the previous chapter’s tension, the forthcoming chapter is likely to showcase the resolution of the skirmish between Umemiya and Takiishi, especially after Umemiya’s powerful strike.

While a conversation between the two may not occur immediately following the battle, they could begin their discussion in chapter 157, possibly extending to upcoming chapters.
