Wind Breaker Episode 17 will be released on April 25, 2025, in Japan. The KEEL arc is finally over. Bofurin managed to beat KEEL and save Nagato, Anzai’s friend. This was only possible because Ren Kaji showed up with two other second-years and turned the fight around. But even though they won, the fight left a deep impact on Sakura.

During the battle, Sakura completely forgot that he was leading the first years as their class rep. He lost his focus and ended up watching his classmates get jumped. He struggled against an opponent that normally would not be a problem for him. At one point, he even froze while watching his friends get hurt. Ren Kaji showed up at the perfect time, helped him snap out of it, and then went on to defeat KEEL’s leader, Shingo Natori.
With KEEL out of the picture, there is still something suspicious going on. Turns out someone was secretly watching the fight from within KEEL. He did not even join the battle and only woke up after it was already over. He said Furin has gotten weak. Then he threw away his KEEL jacket and revealed a tattoo on his shoulder with the word “Frank.” His real name is Yamato Endo.
Wind Breaker Episode 17 will officially start the Sakura / Tsubakino arc. I have attached the previews of the upcoming episode.
