The wait didn’t stretch for too long, but fans of new anime seriesWind Breakerwere already eager to check out new episodes from the show. Luckily for them,Crunchyrollrevealed this week that they can start counting down the days till Season 2. The new episodes will continue to chronicle the story of Hakura Sakura (voiced byYuma Uchidain the original Japanese and byAustin Tindlein the English dub), who needs to prove his worth through school fights. Season 2 will premiere around the same time that the debut season did last year: episodes start rolling out on April 3, less than a month from now.
The trailer forWind BreakerSeason 2 goes straight to the point: an all-out war is breaking loose. In Season 1, Sakura was surprised by the fact that his schoolmates chose to fight with him rather than against him. Now, they will all have to team up in order to protect Makochi. The problem is, once you become a local legend, you attract the attention of even more powerful enemies that will come for you — and this is what is going to happen in Season 2.

Season 1 ofWind Breakerwas regarded asone of the best action anime released in 2024, and the series has established a high bar for itself when it comes to fights, emotional conflicts and all-out brawls — all of which is also teased in the trailer.
