- 01
An admirer of strong people with a complete disinterest in the weak, Haruka Sakura, a loner and delinquent high school student, aims to be a fighter at the top of Furin High School. Coming from outside the city, Sakura enrolls in Furin High School, infamous for its delinquents.
- 02
It is the morning of the school entrance ceremony, and Furin High School has transformed into a group that protects the town now known as the "Chime of the Wind Breaker" — Bofurin.
- 03
Furin High School's first-year Class 1 is infamous for its group of strong fighters. One of the students in the class, Kyotaro Sugishita, becomes furious with what Sakura said and throws a punch at him. The two begin a spectacular fight, ignoring an aloof Hayato Suo, who's carefully watching the fight, and Nirei, who's now panicking. A tremendously loud voice echoes throughout the school, interrupting the fight between the two young men. The owner of that voice that instantly changed the mood of the entire school is none other than Umemiya, the Representative of Bofurin. Sakura and the rest look nervously up at the speakers to hear Umemiya say something completely unexpected.
- 04
A fight breaks out between Bofurin and Shishitoren as Bofurin tries to protect the town's middle schoolers. Sakura receives a declaration of war from the group's second-in-command, Jo Togame. Sakura and one of the Four Kings of Bofurin, Toma Hiragi, tell Umemiya what happened.
- 05
"That’s why I'm going to take all of Furin…and you for myself!" declares Shishitoren's leader, Choji Tomiyama, as he makes his way onto Furin High School grounds. Finally, it's a one-on-one showdown between Bofurin and Shishitoren!
- 06
Tomiyama and Togame, far from worrying about their teammate who lost the battle, expel him from their team. While this peculiar spectacle shakes Sakura and the rest, Suo becomes unexpectedly emotional and wins against Minoru Kanuma, earning another win for Bofurin.
- 07
It’s now time for the battle of those second-in-command: Sakura versus Togame — a fight that will set things on fire!
- 08
Togame can no longer hide the fact he's feeling lost. He remembers when he met Tomiyama, the fun days he had with Shishitoren, how the team changed when Tomiyama became the leader, and the things he's done himself.
- 09
It's now time for a one-on-one fight between Umemiya and Tomiyama. Tomiyama believed that by winning against Umemiya, he would obtain Furin High School, freedom, and a sense of fun that would rival no other.
- 10
Admitting defeat, Tomiyama tries to pass Shishitoren on to Umemiya — to which Umemiya declares, "Instead of taking over your team, we'll be friends!" Bofurin and Shishitoren are dumbfounded at this turn of events but talks progress, food is brought, and a celebratory afterparty starts.

However, the members of Roppo Ichiza, Sakura, Nirei, and Suo are ready to confront them!

Sakura, Nirei, and Suo are called up to the roof of Furin High School. Waiting for them are the Four Kings, their next-in-commands, and Sugishita, who’s helping Umemiya. Having heard about the recent events from Tsubakino, Umemiya has called everyone here to tell the story of Endo, who was the mastermind behind the conflicts between KEEL and GRAVEL, and to explain the origins of the Bofurin unification. As Umemiya, Hiragi, Tsubakino, Momose, and Mizuki join Furin High School and become a part of the Bofurin; what shadow is born as a result of this?
