Adult Swim's Toonami block announced on Friday that Wind Breaker joins its Saturday-night lineup on October 10, 2026 (technically the early hours of October 11), with Gachiakuta following on October 17. If you've been meaning to start the CloverWorks brawler, this is the cleanest on-ramp yet: a fixed weekly slot, English dub, no subscription required beyond cable.
Quick answer
Wind Breaker is a CloverWorks TV anime adapting Satoru Nii's manga. Season 1 (13 episodes) premiered in April 2024 and Season 2 (12 episodes) in April 2025. Both seasons stream on Crunchyroll with subtitles and an English dub, and the dub airs on Toonami in the US from October 10, 2026 at 12:30 a.m. EDT. SenpaiRanks tracks Season 1 at 7.10 and Season 2 at 7.00 on the consensus board, which puts it in the solid-to-good tier of modern shonen action.
The new Toonami lineup
Per Toonami's announcement, reported by Anime News Network, the October 17 schedule runs (EDT):
- 12:00 a.m. — Get Jiro!
- 12:30 a.m. — Wind Breaker
- 1:00 a.m. — Gachiakuta
- 1:30 a.m. — One Piece
- 2:00 a.m. — IGPX
- 2:30 a.m. — Lazarus
- 3:00 a.m. — Blue Exorcist
That's two of the better 2024–25 Crunchyroll action shows back to back. Gachiakuta, the Bones adaptation of Kei Urana's trash-world manga, already has a second season in the works; we've covered where it stands in our Gachiakuta season 2 and manga hiatus explainer.
What you're getting into
Haruka Sakura is a loner who moves to a town to join Furin High, a school famous for its fighters, only to discover the delinquents there act as the neighborhood's self-appointed protectors. The "Bofurin" crew is the hook: the fights are crunchy, but the show is really about a kid who's never had friends learning to accept them. CloverWorks gives the brawls real weight, and the color work makes the town feel lived-in.
Is Wind Breaker good?
Yes, with a caveat. It's a confident, good-looking take on the delinquent genre (think Tokyo Revengers without the time travel), and Season 2 keeps the quality steady. It isn't reinventing anything, which is why it sits around 7 rather than in the 8s. If you like gang-turf shonen and found-family arcs, it's an easy recommendation. The dub is strong, so the Toonami airing is a fair way to watch.
