Sorry for the spoiler to some folks! But I’m so in love with the way Satoru Nii is writing Sakura’s character.

I have so many thoughts so this surely will not be my last post about the newest chapter! But I honestly kind of love the draw?? Like I feel like it makes the most sense and shows a positive side of the “either I win or we both lose” trope that a lot of MCs have now.

This isn’t a loss. This is 100% Sakura’s victory and I will fight anyone that says otherwise.

Now it’s time for the others to take care of their grade captain and protect him from anything else! 💗

Also I’m hoping this means we get a glimpse next chapter in what’s been going on on the roof!!! I’m worried about Ume !!

how do you expect me to be normal over a shot like this. how!!!!!!!!!!!! WHEN THAT UNDERCUT IS STARING ME DIRECTLY IN THE FACE.

The fact that he made sure endo was out before he let himself pass out. The way he agreed to go if he lost as a testament to his resolve NOT to lose. The perfect version of "I don't have to win, but I can make sure YOU lose."

Sakura won that fight 100%

something about Sakura getting some sort of "awakening" which, to my surprise, reminded me of this panel of Megumi above 🤔

Chapter 148 had me at the edge of my seat the WHOLETIME.

It was SO exciting dammit.

I mean, LOOK AT HIM

AND HIM. My man's having butterflies in his stomach hadgjdunskskal

And then, and then, they fought.

AND LOOK

*hic* this chapter was so exciting to read.

And then Sakura won! Well, not exactly "won" but he won!

That "bet" he made with Endo had me scared there for a moment tho...

But all's well that ends well~!!

CHAPTER 148?? THIS WAS CRAZY??? anyways spoilers below cut (just me sharing thought and opinions, all good) but heres a panel of endo bc even if i hate him, he’s still a little comedian sometimes

Sakura accepting that losing is okay was the main focus in this chapter, which I think is really nice. I also like that he makes it clear that there’s a difference between “not winning” and “losing,” because in a way, yeah, they are two different things. But here he comes to accept that both are okay. Yeah, he really wants to win, and he’s not okay with “losing,” but he’s okay with “not winning.” I give props to Satoru Nii here, he did a great job with this.

I know a lot of people want that rooftop fight, or at least a glimpse of it, but if I’m being honest… I’m kinda glad we aren’t seeing it. These little glimpses of Umemiya are enough, and they’re Nii’s way of telling us that Sakura and Umemiya are in the same headspace right now. I said it before but I don’t have a problem saying it again… I really do think Umemiya should be out of commission after this arc, even if it’s briefly.

It’s definitely a hot take, but Wind Breaker is at a point in its plot where a sacrifice needs to be made. I’m not saying kill the guy, but a coma might be probable. Maybe I’m just so used to mangas with dreadful deaths and sacrifices, but yeah, that’s my opinion on the hidden fight.

Lastly, Sakura’s sacrifice. Tbh this was perfect. I said before that Sakura going with Endo would be an amazing setup for the next arc, but I also said that if executed right, him taking Endo down would be amazing for his character. And… yeah, this was executed perfectly. We the audience knew that Sakura could not beat Endo, and so did he. These last few chapters built on his character growth with his inner-monologue and paid off in the end.

He made it clear that he was okay with sacrificing himself for Furin’s sake, that he’d go with Endo if he won. But no one actually wants that to happen besides Endo, and Sakura quite literally has to take him down. So what better way than knocking both of them out at once?

So yeah, 10/10 chapter. I’m really happy with the writing recently and I’m hoping that it only goes up from here. I appreciate Satoru Nii’s understanding of his own characters a lot and I’m so grateful for his care put into the story.
