Recap of Wind Breaker Chapter 157
Titled Remaining Embers, Chapter 157 saw Umemiya deal a decisive blow to Takiishi, sending him crashing into a pile of tables, much to the shock of onlookers, including Endo and Sakura. Despite the heavy hit, Takiishi stood up as rain began to fall, and the chapter shifted focus to his inner monologue. In this moment of reflection, the Noroshi leader admitted that the things he once despised had become enjoyable, and he credited Umemiya for this change in perspective.
The battle continued with Umemiya attempting to pin Takiishi, though the latter managed to reverse the Furin leader’s move. Nevertheless, Umemiya maintained his advantage, delivering a kick to Takiishi’s stomach. In his final moments of the fight, Takiishi asked Umemiya about the changes happening to his body, as if searching for answers.
The climactic moment of the chapter came when Umemiya impaled Takiishi’s face, leading the Noroshi leader to fall. Accepting his defeat, Takiishi acknowledged Umemiya as the true victor of their battle, with both collapsing after the final exchange of blows.
