Summarize
The second episode of the Wind Breaker anime introduces Haruka Sakura, who is hated for her unusual appearance and love of fighting.
Determined to climb to the top, Sakura begins his high school journey at Furin High School, notorious for its delinquent population, where he aims to dominate through fighting.
On her first day in town, Haruka Sakura comes to Tachibana Kotoha's aid, protecting her from a group of thugs. Invited to his cafe, Kotoha warns Sakura that he cannot rise to the top of the Furin if he fights alone.
As he left the cafe, he was again confronted by the thugs, now outnumbered. Sakura fights bravely, shielding Kotoha but injuring his ankle.
Just when he seemed to be cornered, the seniors from Furin High School showed up to save the world. Sakura discovers that despite Furin High's delinquent reputation, its students are admired and respected by the townspeople.
The town, once a hub for criminal gangs, has been transformed by the Furin high school students who fight crime and protect the community.
Overwhelmed by the town's love, Sakura realizes that despite his solitary nature focused on fighting, he has a kind heart.
