There could be a lot of trauma hidden behind her smile

It is also It's possible that the eye patch hides a scar that had an impact on Hayatobut managed to survive and thrive.


8 Where is the cavalry?

Lack of police leaves fans perplexed

Sakura protects Kiryu in Wind Breaker episode 11

One of the most surprising things about Windbreaker is its lack of contact with reality. Fans are introduced to a fairly normal town where Sakura goes to enroll in the infamous Furin High School. She quickly learns that the town is plagued by a law and order situation. However, with street fights occurring in broad daylight and teenagers committing petty crimes, law enforcement would have to intervene at some point.

It turns out that there is no police in Windbreakerthe world of; Instead, they have a group of school kids who offer protection to the townspeople. The common people rely on young boys with a talent for brawling to protect them from outside skirmishes. It's hard to know if this is an intentional omission, but the anime should address this at some point.


7 Where are the boys' families?

The parents have been quite absent in the anime

Bofurin fights in Wind Breaker episode 1

The parents have been out of the game since day one Windbreaker. Everyone is just going around minding their own business, protecting the town, and attending a run-down school, but no character has a guardian who asks about them. Fans believe that most of the Furin kids are orphans, including Sakura. However, it seems a bit far-fetched that every Furin kid doesn't have a guardian, but then again, it's possible that Furin isn't a high school at all.

Since Bofurin uses it as a base of operations, it could mean that it is not a real school and has been abandoned for a while. However, it could be something that the manga could have expanded on at some point, as some characters have received their backstories in the manga. However, the anime has yet to delve into why.


6 Why does no one care about education?

Will Furin students get a diploma?

The stage is set for the brawl between Bofurin and Shishitoren from Wind Breaker

Despite Windbreaker's fun concept and impeccable pacing, its background is still an intriguing mystery. Fans are still speculating on the nature of the story's background, which seems to be loosely connected to the plot. For example, the town of Makochi seems quite wealthy; however, this is only thanks to Bofurin. The delinquents of a dilapidated school have proclaimed themselves protectors and fighters against injustice, and it was they who brought peace to the area.


However, does anyone stop to think about what those kids are doing in school? The elders spend the day praising these kids for their sense of belonging, but they never seem to care about their academic responsibilities. The whole town is happy with the way things turned out, but no one can come up with a valid explanation as to why things are the way they are in the town.

5 Where is the city of Makochi?

The city could probably be in an isolated area

The reality meter in Makochi remains unchecked throughout the first season. While the social structure of the town isn’t a problem as far as the plot goes, it’s still an intriguing aspect of the show. Fans are treated to an ambiguous sequence of incomplete explanations of Bofurin’s birth, but that still doesn’t explain the town’s dark ways. It may seem far-fetched, but it could be. it is possible that the events of Windbreaker are isolated or take place in a world where the social order is compromised.


Sakura's hometown also seemed like a terrible place to live, considering she was discriminated against and bullied for most of her life. Since there is no justice or education system in the town, the social fabric of the town is open to interpretation. While it's not a controversial aspect of the series, it's something that should be addressed in the next season.

4 Is Furin really a high school?

The State of the school speaks differently

During the first episodes of the anime When Furin comes into conflict with Shishitorin for beating up a middle school student, it becomes clear that the city does indeed have a proper school system. The one or two female characters who appear for a few seconds in the series also hint at the existence of other educational institutions besides Furin. However, the way Umemiya runs things at the school and the fact that he is the one running it in the first place raises doubts as to whether the school is real.


The place seems abandoned for a while, and there is no one around except the students in the schoolyard. Everyone has been assigned classes accordingly, yet there is nothing the kids do other than patrol the town or do their own thing. Many fans believe that it is not a real school, and Umemiya transformed it this way to better integrate it into society. However, this seems unlikely considering there is a considerable structure for a school system.

3 The story of Umemiya

Umemiya is the soul of Bofurin

Windbreaker has just touched on the deepest traumas of most of the main group, but has yet to delve into the chain of events that led these young boys to fight and ultimately to Furin. While Sakura is the protagonist, fans are incredibly interested in Umemiya's past. He comes across as a nice guy with a bubbly personality, but the way he went about things for Bofurin speaks volumes about his true personality.

It is essential for the growth of the story that the show explores Umemiya's past and how he came to power. His descent into power is crucial to Sakura's growth because even when she has to face her vulnerability in being dependent on others, she feels the need to prove herself. It is clear that Umemiya may not have been the boy he is today, and exploring his evolution in the sequel would be a treat for fans.

2 Lack of regular female characters

The boys are running the show right now

Understandably, Windbreaker It's mostly a boys' playground, but it wouldn't hurt to level the playing field. Only Kotoha was given a worthy place in the story, and her character's strong presence did wonders for the story. However, outside of the coffee shop, there are virtually no female characters in sight who could have an impact on the story.

There was a girl that the gang saved from a group of boys, andThen there was Anzai's childhood friend; these were the only women fans saw throughout the 13 episodes. It's not that the boys can't handle the show, but the show needs a stimulating aspect beyond all the physical confrontation. Love interests might serve the plot for a while, but characters like Kotoha and their motivational aura are what Windbreaker needs to move forward further.


1 Are there no teachers at Furin High School?

Who teaches the students?

The number one question that haunts viewers is “Where are the teachers?” Whenever Sakura entered the classroom, she would see the students relaxing and going about their day as usual. Then, they would go out on patrol throughout the city to perform their primary duty as Furin students. The fandom has an insatiable curiosity about this key detail that has yet to be addressed. This has led viewers to wonder if Furin is a real school.


However, when Sakura is introduced, the audience is told that she is transferring to this particular school by choice, and that there will be an entrance ceremony. Not only does the entire area appear to have been abandoned for years, but there is no faculty or authority figure in sight. The boys only know Umemiya as the head of Furin, but viewers have yet to learn the school's history..
