*SUCCEEDING HEADPHONE WARNINGS*

It's time for the "Rule of 8" and Wind Breaker does NOT let us down for this one! Sakura vs. Togame's fight reaches a fever pitch and this show proves once again how it's so good at layering character development, symbolism, and just good ol' HYPE! I am so excited for the episodes to come after this one, but ready to bask in the awesomeness of this brawl with y'all!

Umemiya really said "Nah, I'd win" Choji is scary. I can't say much about him and you're right, Choji probably would have put Sakura into the floorboards if Umemiya didn't stop him and Sakura realizes that. Togame really has his hands full when it comes to Choji and I feel so bad for him for trying to hold onto something that isn't working, kind of like a toxic relationship. Also Togame and Sakura's fight is one of my favorites in the series! Sakura not realizing he had a "conversation" with Togame when he was risking it all to get beaten by Choji after kicking Togame. Sakura is oblivious when it comes to people being genuine with him, but he's also oblivious to his own feelings too. (Mod if I said too much I'll edit it)

Me watching the last 5 minutes of this episode: "Umemiya your Gojo is showing" :D Can't wait for you to watch the next episode.

commenting as i watch along ori being the cage of their furry selves was such a funny point i had my first omurice after watching wind breaker and it was really good! togame just wants to chill ... while Sakura is so confused lol that burn was so real, i like it when Sakura talks back but also how he owns it - selfish? hell yeah i'm selfish that squinty look when togame laughed at Sakura hehe i like the shakiness in choji's voice when he said he said he was going to decide the damn sad turtle is so real, poor togame, the tears with the rain was a great touch TT_TT he let down his hairrrrr and the getas and called sakura's name ahhhhh it feels so freeing even to me! uninhibited is a good way to express it that touching moment and then brutal beatdown lol letting it all out and i like how you can really feel the force behind each punch and kicks when "dogs chase each other around the couch" your dog: woof! togame abs are blessed yep Sakura: hell yeah we're so back the way you're expecting something bad to happen when choji was ignoring togame but that kick was so quick so it was still a jumpscare i think they did a good job showing umemiya's strength when he stopped Sakura's punching arm togame: i give up, i can't stand anymore *a minute later* togame: i'm off, umemiya don't die k when nirei supported Sakura from falling over when he got off the stage aww meanwhile no one from shishitoren checked on togame... ok sir, umemiya's deep voice hehehe togame has been protecting shishitoren from choji and also protecting choji from shishitoren's ire too... these guys need hobbies fr lmaoo the ost when choji started fighting was so good... it's called zeestortion and i had it on my playlist for awhile cuz it gave me boss energy nirei has turned to stone rip and being the Romania insert hahaha Sakura self aware of the gap in strength... poor cat umemiya aura farming and then using aura that he farmed to fight lolol nirei always roasting Sakura in the after credits lmao the ED is so good! the song itself is calming and gives me "coming of age" youthful vibes, and the artstyle is so pretty! btw i recommend reading the lyrics for both the OP and the ED too! the lyrics for the ED are especially emotional... I agree with your theory that the bystanders probably couldn't tell that togame wasn't putting his all (especially since i doubt they've fought him before with the team motto being "lose = you're out") also i liked the analysis of how the characters were sitting together vs alone! umemiya: choji! go start a soccer team! go join blue lock! /j togame realizing he was an enabler when he should've confronted choji was so good poor turtle just wanted to chill but sometimes you need confrontation, can't just be passive and wait till they return to the old days i also thought they were gonna knock each other out in a draw! but yeah togame losing symbolically and then keep togame awake to get that choji togame confrontation... windbreaker is a comfort show to me too because i just want these characters to live out their best life with their friends and get all the love and comfort they deserve TT_TT choji, he's happy since if Sakura punches him it's like an invitation to fight him (kinda like how this whole tournament started when he went to "poke" umemiya at furin) lol about the conversation during the fight... Romania during the initial part of the fight in this ep: stop talking! meanwhile Sakura after the fight: were we talking? social worker umemiya... i can see it... maybe after graduation... either social worker or gardener lol umemiya grandpa style: cracks neck in episode, cracks back in ED

Loved the reaction and discussion! What a spectacular episode! Rule of 8! Rule of 8! 🎉 Various things I loved: Consistently all the Nirei reactions! Especially how moved he was. 🥰 Choji just using Umemiya like a jungle gym. “Limber as a little noodle” 😆 The gradual change of atmosphere across episodes 7 and 8 – with each layer revealed, the rain coming down harder and then another drastic shift when Choji is on the stage. Mignon reference! Also, I did not expect drone-warfare to come up in the discussion - but it makes perfect sense as an example. Sakura and Togame just getting to enjoy themselves a little. 😆 And Sakura being a cranky bean going 'WTF?!' about Togame pulling the punch at the end. 😆 Most of all, I loved the continued emotional layering that includes the flashbacks. They did modify the shots we saw in the previous episode, you are right, and I love that so much. And to me it works wonderfully as a bit of a mystery, too – are we seeing what really happened now as opposed to what we saw before, or what it felt like to Togame on the inside, or is it him now understanding the context of what he was truly feeling in that moment. I ultimately think it’s a slow reveal of the emotional truth and reality of that moment – but love the way it can be read multiple ways just because of the construction of the episodes. 🥰 And there was something addressed beautifully in the discussion in the previous episode that I did not want to highlight until we were done with this one – the discussion around identity and power (having to have power to establish and fulfil an identity). Love the way in this episode those layers continue to show that Togame thought himself powerless. He was monologuing at himself in Sakura during episode 7, I feel: “When you’re alone, you don’t have a voice, do you?” And in that moment, Sakura showed him the other way. And, I mean… in this episode, when Togame seems to have regained that part of himself which has a voice, the first thing he really says is Sakura’s name… Did I have to bring that around to my TogaSaku ship? I certainly did. 🤣 And seeing Sakura’s reaction to Choji’s attack on Togame after?! Thank you, show. 🥰 Your excitement during this episode was particularly infectious, love to see it! 🥰 Cannot wait for next week! 🌸

That is SO true! His Gojo really WAS showing in those last few minutes! Thank you for the comment - I'm so excited for next week!

Umemiya is already such a force! I’m excited to see more of him, and the mods said you were good! 😀 Choji is scary! And yeah, I feel bad for Togame basically covering for Choji; I agree it is toxic in a way!! I really like this fight a lot! And yes, Sakura is SO oblivious to when people are being genuine with him and for himself - I hope this series shows him growing out of that. I guess we shall see! 😀Thank you for the comment!

This episode truly makes justice to the rule of 8, as it's one of the best episodes of the season. The soundtrack for this show is so good, yes! I remember really enjoying it when I first watched the show, which usually I don't; usually, I'll be concentrating so hard on a show that the music would fade to the background, and I would only get to enjoy it upon a rewatch, well, not with this show. The soundtrack is always something that enjoy a lot with the different fights. One shot that I really love is the one with Sakura facing Togame, and the light from the theater illumintaing them and making everyone else disappear. Now who they truly are is coming out, and that dispels the darkness in Togame, and Sakura's really, lives. Maybe the rest of Shishitoren was silent while Sakura and Togame fought because, as Choji says, they're weak and couldn't quite understand how interesting and deep that fight was. Nirei is our untrained bean from Furin, and he says that he has no idea what's going on; except, because Furin isn't obsessed with "strength", Nirei was able to understand the underlining emotion in the fight; something that I don't think the rest of Shishitoren would have been able to do with how Choji. with Togame enforcing it, just wanted them to win fights without caring about the way they did it, or the nuance of those fights. Do I think there's no potential or good fighters in Shishitoren? No, but I do think than rather than help them grow, Choji's ways stunted them into thinking that a show of brutality is the same as strength, and now they're finding out that's not quite right. Sakura going for the blow after Choji hit Togame is such a raw moment, and another favorite of mine. The raw emotion in Sakura's face is drawn so well, his disbelief and fury, and it all connects so beautifully with Sakura's inner kindness that has been so long repressed - as we've seen in multiple ocasions already - and the way he understood Togame through this fight, even if he understands that he himself would never act that way. Honestly, I lowkey ship Togame and Sakura; their chemestry this episode is amazing, and I think they're really nice foils for each other. Choji fighting like a wild monkey is so much fun. Seeing him climbing Umemiya will never get old. Truly energy personified. I didn't get the chance to say it last week, but the OP for this show is so good! Those camera angles are so much fun, and it works so well with the way that Sakura's world has been going upside down ever since he came to Furin. And the song is amazing as well, still one I love. P.S. I've had such a busy week that I'm only now having some time to go over these reactions, but I love them so much that finally being able to watch them is honestly a higlight of my week, and so refreshing.

Thank you so much for the comment-a-long! 😀 Omurice sounds SO good, not going to lie! Sad rabbit and sad turtles are no fun for usssss! Any time a character “lets their hair down?” I am sat and ready! Wind Breaker will not lose the chance to show abs! And that kick from Choji was such a jump scare! Umemiya’s deep voice unlocked things on this good day! But yes, sirs, y’all need hobbies! Maybe Suo can help you start a tea party book club? Boss Energy vibes with the OST indeed! And Nirei IS the Romania Insert, indeed! The ED is a lot of fun and yes, once the season is over, I usually check out the OP and ED lyrics if I haven’t seen them already. Thank you for the kind words! And yes, the character development makes this series such a comfort series. Give us social worker Umemiya who gardens in his spare time! 😛I can’t wait for episode 9!

romaniablack

Thank you for the comment and kind words! This was such a good episode! Rule of 8, indeed! It doesn’t let us down! Nirei is me and I am Nirei! I love how the environment adjusts to the tension of the episode! Y’all KNOW I had to reference Mignon! 😛 Drone warfare is such a trigger topic for me, so it fit for the moment - glad it worked for you all as an example! The Sakura and Togame ship starts here for me, hahaha! The seeds are planted! Especially after your note after the emotional layering comment, which the emotional layering this series does is really effective, I agree! That’s a great point to bring up! I see the vision! Thank you again for the kind words - this show just EXUDES infectious energy!! I cannot wait for these episodes to come! <3 Let’s goooo!

romaniablack

Yessss, Love this episode so much!! The “Rule of 8” does not let us down, does it?! I really enjoyed the OST this episode; which is good to know moving forward! Ooohhhh, love that symbolism with the light that you mention! That’s also an interesting note about WHY everyone was so quiet; that’s a really neat point to bring up! I LOVE the moment Sakura went after Choji - one of the best in the episode! It’s so good! And yes, it connects so well with Sakura’s inner kindness and him getting to “understand” Toji! And honestly, this episode planted the Togame and Sakura seeds hahaha, I’m just in slight denial now! ;) We’ll see where that goes. And Choji is just ENERGY AND CHAOS! I love the OP so much, especially the visuals for this series! <3 And hey, NO WORRIES! Even if you get to an episode a week or two later, I will NEVER consider a comment “late” or not read it (as long as there’s no spoilers) - I’m so glad you’re enjoying the reactions and my rambles! Thank you for the comment and kind words!
