Wind Breaker Episode 10 Discussion

Filler ahh episode + I’m getting more and more disappointed each episode.
They forgave shishitoren scums like they didn’t try to kill furin students for the past 7 episodes.
Also do y’all remember when Tokyo Revengers was releasing weekly, there were a loud community complaining about the lack of police and parents? Even though that show actually SHOWED police several times. Meanwhile this show doesn’t have a single adult in it let alone a police or teacher yet no one complains about it or is allowed to criticize it because according to redditors/twitter nerds this is the best delinquent(lol) anime created in the last decade.
Humans are gullible creatures they easily get deceived by flashy colors.
Therefore I take the “carried by animation” crown from demon slayer and give it to fart breaker.
Congratulations *insert evangelion gif*

I gave up on the idea that this show is a delinquent anime pretty quickly, and I could enjoy this more because of that.

I'm treating this as a post-apocalyptic action drama, something like Mad Max or Heavenly Delusion. Or even a Western, like The Magnificent Seven.

I'm imagining the government and the rule of law have completely collapsed, and everyone's left to fend for themselves. Honest, hard-working folk are at the mercy of roving bandits, kids are either orphans or abandoned, schools are just big buildings that anyone can use as their base. Mysterious outlaws with a heart of gold happen to pass by and decide to help out the powerless.

I don't understand why the show itself didn't take this route, but it makes a lot of sense in my head.

@perseii "This town is poor and used to have a high crime rate so the police just look the other way" is a less complicated explanation than post apocalypse

I'm not really sure what we want the police to do here. They had a five person fight tournament in an abandoned movie theater.

Is that a less complicated explanation, though?

Setting the story in the post-apocalypse frees up the story from a lot of expectations and "rules." And it keeps the story focused on what it cares about, i.e. the action and the characters.

As one example, I would expect actual criminals to run this town if this is a "normal" town without police presence. Like the yakuza. Grown-ups, not some kids.

The story just raises too many questions like this one, as long as the writers frame this as modern-day Japan. I think it would be easier if the writers just came out and said, "most of the adults are either dead or gone; it's just us kids now who can protect the town."

But that's just what works for me. If the "police looking the other way" plot point helps you get on-board with the story, that's great.

Yeah but wait, he was bitten on his neck right? Quite brutally too, so are we sure he doesn’t need medical attention and should keep acting like an anime-ish strong airheaded guy while throwing philosophies which should rather come out of the mouth of a sixty-year old man????

Also lol, all this talk about protecting this town and townsfolk while being a leader who ain’t alone, is hilariously stupid when we just look at the real picture and realize they’re still in school. Not sure how much of this sweet and reasonable talk could get through Sakura’s thick skull, and his one-tone backstory, but at least these people won’t stop in their attempts, not any time soon.
