This morning I woke up early and because of that, I decided to do the school stuff I needed to finish. I opened my browser to search for something when accidentally I clicked on a tab I recently visited. It turns out it's the site where I read the Windbreaker manhwa update, and lo and behold, there's another update already!
The new update started with both Jay and Vinny at the last 900 meters of their race. I had been anticipating this chapter because it seems this will be the deciding chapter for their match. I was definitely impatient the whole time I was waiting for each of the new updates because I couldn't wait to know who would win in the match of Hummingbird and Sabbath crew for having read those past chapters, I can say that all of them have different motivations to win. However, for me, the motivation that stands out the most is Vinny's.
Ever since his character was introduced way back then, I immediately sensed that behind his seemingly hard and unlikable personality hides a sad backstory. I saw him grow and improve with the Hummingbird crew—that training arc, their night practices together, the competitions they won against other teams—and reading those filled me with a lot of emotions, especially angst and excitement. But this new chapter is something else, and even though I root for Vinny to win because I want his mother to get treated, there's still that side of me that's somehow rooting for Jay!
Glimpses of both their backstories were shared and as well as the people they rode against before. The good thing about its flashbacks is that the creator retained the old art style which I find nostalgic because it's been years since I started following their story. I don't know if the end is near, but for now, one thing's for sure in this new chapter and that is Vinny won against Jay and at last, he will finally experience what it feels to be at the top... Yet with this triumph, many questions came to my mind...How will the Hummingbird cope with this loss—especially Dom who was last seen in bad condition? What would Vinny do now that he won? And is this the start of the end of this story, or is this just the start of something bigger that will happen soon?
Well, for now all I and we can do is to wait again and to see how will the Hummingbird fare with their loss in the next chapter.
