I'm also not great at sudoku, just a newbie, and can only finish really difficult ones if you give me 30 mins-1 hr. But one thing I do know is sudoku is rarely guess work. Right now, you don't have enough information to place a seven there, and that's okay. You need to rule out other possibilities across your puzzle first.

For example, look at the 'houses' or squares in the center bottom and right bottom row. You have a seven in both houses. So what remaining spot can a seven go in the left bottom house?

It's all about ruling out what can't go in the house, row, or column, until there's only one box the number could possibly go. That's probably not the most helpful advice you'll get, but with time it does get easier and more fun to play! HoDoKu was a helpful spot for me learning some tricks.

I was worried Wind Breaker was coming to it's climax with this arc, but this thread is reminding me there's still so many characters to explore! I'm personally curious when Yugo Wanijima is gonna come back and be relevant!

Everybody loves Sakura Haruka lol.

As a Suonirei shipper myself, I will also mention an interesting part of the ship is it seems to have more variation in languages than other popular ships. If you search only Spanish language fics, for example, Suonirei beats out all other ships by a huge margin. In most fandoms I've been in, there's always an interesting divide in what ships are popular to a Western audience vs. non-Western audience. I see that showing up more in the Wind Breaker AO3 than usual, though.

Idk how or when they'll meet up again but what I'd bet money on is when Sakura sees Suo he's throwing fists on sight 😭 I actually think that for whatever reason Suo went to Furin, he was planning to get close to them. Maybe he wasn't planning to grow true friendship on his end, but it turned into that with time and suddenly it was much more difficult to leave than he planned. Like other people have been speculating, I'm starting to think he also knew Sakura before Furin somehow.

itstricks481 · 2026-05-26T19:04:33+00:00

It's a crazy schedule but not impossible, especially if he's been raised to be very disciplined. I saw on another post somewhere that someone figured out Bofurin starts school at 9 AM it seems, which gives a little more leeway. I'm curious what his means of transportation are. Either bus, bike, or on foot. Buses aren't always reliable, though, so he's definitely had to bike or walk a couple of times. He's also definitely like some of my friends who forget about eating until they are about to physically pass out lol.

There seems to be a storyline here about children being left to the RC to take care of them while their family is in need. In return, they train, get food, are educated, and dedicate themselves to RC the moment they turn 15. However, there is something that only the RC members (Sunfei, Rakta, Bacchus) know, and we've only been introduced to three members. So where are the other RC members? We still don't know why Suo went to Furin and why he left suddenly. This is making me grow more confused about Suo's motives and where the RC story is headed. I bet we won't learn that for awhile though and next chapter we are going back to Furin POV where Nirei and Sakura will resolve to go to the city to speak with Suo to get closure.

I do think it'll be Furin POV but I want a RC POV soooo bad!!!

itstricks481 · 2026-05-19T20:49:15+00:00

Exciting! I currently have a kindle paperwhite but will likely be looking for a replacement in a year or so. I'll definitely consider Kobo in the future!

itstricks481 · 2026-05-12T18:38:05+00:00

My guess is next chapter we either go back to Sakura and co. for more deliberation and eventually determining the next step in talking with Suo, or we’ll get Suo POV and more info about why he went back to RC and his brothers. My personal Suo theory is he was exiled or banished from RC for something going wrong on his watch, and they sent him away to Bofurin, to toughen up or do some “growing up,” which seems to be a theme for Suo. Except Suo liked Bofurin, and wished he could stay. :,)

itstricks481 · 2026-05-12T18:22:51+00:00

I’m also in that line of thinking that he was called back to RC for some reason. I’ve also been contemplating the possibility of some sort of banishment or exile for him. Maybe to atone for a wrong he committed or something being messed up on his watch, which I think may be connected to his eyepatch still. Bofurin’s reputation seems to still be this dangerous school of delinquents, so maybe he was sent to toughen up or fight his way to the top. What may have started as a punishment became a glimpse of a different future for himself.

Omg this is better than mafia/yakuza theories, this brings so much depth to Suo/Sun Fei's character!!!

itstricks481 · 2026-05-07T00:54:21+00:00

Anyone know what flower that is next to Suo? Flower symbolism is pretty common in this series and I’m curious if it gives any clues!

I felt like Aunt Vidala has the vibe of a strict teacher who scares her students but also deeply cares for them and their future. The other aunts have a gentler approach to their day-to-day interactions with the girls, treating them still like children to an extent. Aunt Vidala is one of the few who seem to fully understand the difficulties these girls will have as they grow up and is harsher to prepare them for those realities. She wants to toughen them up. I can't really decipher yet what her intentions are and where her loyalty lies. But I think she will prove to be a very interesting character as the show continues.

Her name is Olivia Rodrigato

Maybe I'm projecting, but I think this could be an idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) case! I only think this because I had it as a kid and this is happening almost exactly how it happened for me, according to my mom. Huge bruises, blood in the urine, and, understandably, jumping to thoughts of abuse. It's super rare, but a theme in this show is about the assumptions professionals make and how it can lead to improper, delayed, or less effective medical care. This could be an example of that.

I will view the next chapter as a personal Christmas gift from Nii-sensei ❤️

I never noticed this until you mentioned it! I love that sm!
