Wind Breaker‘s theme songs, which are previewed in the trailer, are “Zettai Reido” by Natori (the opening) and “Muteki” by Young Kee (the ending). The newly announced cast members are Kengo Kawanishi as Taiga Tsugerua, Toshiyuki Toyonaga as Mitsuki Kiryu, and Ikumi Hasegawa as Kotoha Tachibana.

Wind Breaker is based on the delinquent-themed manga by Satoru Nii, which started serialization on Magazine Pocket since 2021 and has 15 tankoubon volumes published under the Kodansha Comics label as of January 2024. Kodansha USA describes the manga’s plot as:

Haruka Sakura wants nothing to do with weaklings—he’s only interested in the strongest of the strong. He’s from Fuurin High School, a school of near-dropout degenerates known only for their brawling strength. And in a town known for its territorial disputes, Haruka’s got only one goal—become the hero his town deserves.
