How Hajime Umemiya became Bofurin’s leader — Wind Breaker episode 10 recap
Episode 10, Dialogue, offered a surprising glimpse into Bofurin’s leader’s motivations. Following their victory over Shishitoren in the one-on-one battles, Umemiya invited the leaders of Shishitoren, Choji Tomiyama and Jo Togame, to share a meal with Bofurin.
