Stigma of the Wind

Four years after a bitter clash over who would inherit the Kannagi family sword Enraiha, Kazuma Kannagi is banished for failing to master the fire arts that define his clan. He reappears under the surname Yagami and brings with him control of Fū-Jutsu, or wind arts, a drastically different path. The show follows his uneasy return as he faces old rivals, new threats, and the complicated politics of a clan that never quite forgot its past. While Ayano Kannagi remains a looming rival, Kazuma's mastery of wind power starts to reshape the lines of loyalty and family legacy.

Produced in 2007 as a TV anime series, Stigma of the Wind features creators Yamato Takahiro and Mayori Sekijima and a cast led by Ayumi Fujimura, Daisuke Ono, Kana Sakai, Kenyu Horiuchi, and Chiaki Takahashi.

Fans give it a solid 7.0 out of 10 from 56 votes, signaling moderate to good reception. The show leans into themes of family duty versus personal growth, ambition, and the costs of power, anchored by dynamic wind based combat and strong character voices.
