Wind Breaker Chapter 201 begins with Momijikawa saying goodbye to his grandmother at her funeral service. All of the Bofurin members were in formal black attire to show their support for Momijikawa and the respect that they have for the deceased. At this gathering, the members of Furin High School have formed a strong bond through their shared experiences.

The cremation ceremony itself was one of the hardest things for everyone there to experience. Momijikawa is faced with the harrowing realization of how final death is, especially when he sees the entire cremation process take place. The sensation he feels from the constantly going creative urn of her is a constant reminder of death.

Sugishita's Grandfather Offers Wisdom

Sugishita's grandfather was a major player at the funeral. He talked to Momiji about how to hold onto memories. His point was that one should create good memories while they are alive. He told Momiji that his grandmother would have liked to see how many people came out to support him.

In Wind Breaker Chapter 201, the grandfather encourages everyone to eat together after the funeral. Eating together is an old custom that shows your community is there for you during difficult times. The grandfather gave young students who are grieving support and wisdom.

Momijikawa's Journey Through Four Funerals

The chapter reveals a heartbreaking detail about Momijikawa's past. He has lost four relatives due to death and has now attended four funerals for them. The repeated experience of saying goodbye to people has given him a fear of dying himself and has made him feel as if he is alone.

In Wind Breaker Chapter 201, Momijikawa thinks back to how he felt when attending each of these funerals. He thinks that by attending all these funerals, he may go crazy from the trauma of watching so many people he loved die. He is also burdened with the weight of the fact that he is the last surviving member of his family.

As the funeral concluded, Wind Breaker Chapter 201 shows the Bofurin members encouraging Momijikawa to return to school. This is just one example of how Furin High has a protective environment.

At first, Sakura seemed unsure of whether to approach Momijikawa. But eventually, he realized that Momijikawa needed someone who understood what it feels like to be alone. Their meeting will be important because both of them have experienced being alone and abandoned. So, when they finally get together, it could be very impactful for both of them.

In Wind Breaker Chapter 201, it looks like Sakura and Momijikawa are finally going to chat with each other after all this time. The chapter ends with Momijikawa walking out from the gate with his grandmother's ashes and unexpectedly meeting Sakura sitting outside.
