A little bit about Momijikawa
September 6, 2025 at 5:24 AM
Based on Nirei’s information, I and other readers clearly understood that Momijikawa is a lone wolf, even worse than Sakura of that time. And also that he is a headstrong guy who respects Ume, listens to him and obeys only him, but he definitely does not have the loyalty of Sugishita.
Momijikawa follows Fuurin and Ume because their goals in protecting the city and the safety of the inhabitants coincide, but I do not want to say that he will betray Furin. On the contrary, as long as Furin is driven by such a goal and follows it, he will be a part of it. I will also remind you of my words that he, for some reason, will follow Sakura.
I, however, as well as some in one chat on Wind breaker, do not understand at all why Momijikawa, since he is so strong, appeared only now, and not during the battle with Endo and Takiishi. This guy, even before joining Furin, became as famous as Kaji and others, he even defended the streets of Makochi from other gangs on his own until he met Ume and his gang. I’ll ask this question again, where was he when Furin fought those two and Noroshi.
The only possible version of his absence could be that he had problems with the law, or as I said a couple of chapters ago, his family moved somewhere, so Momijikawa spent a long time persuading his family to let him live in Makochi.
Although I assumed, I don’t know yet what kind of arc awaits us, what will happen during it, I think the current arc is somehow connected with Momijikawa, during which he will see something in Sakura that will make him start following him, as another ally or future right hand, when Sakura becomes the head of Furin.
In the meantime, we will witness their upcoming fight, the initiator of course was Momijikawa, who did not like Sakura’s words about his desire to rise to the top. This moment leads us to a similar situation, when Sugishita and Sakura started a fight on the very first day.
Considering that Sugishita, little by little, accepts Sakura in a peculiar way, even envies his coolness, it is easy to understand that Momijikawa will also accept him, whether he will be devoted to him with all his heart, a big question, we will wait and watch the course of events.
