OKAY i have collected my thoughts... first that save!
i actually kind of love that hinata was blocked because this moment shows so much growth. we know that hinata has improved insanely as a player and is always thinking like three steps ahead, to the point where he's his own decoy in receiving. but 4 some perspective compare this moment to the times hinata was blocked early in the series? his complete powerlessness against kitagawa daiichi in middle school, and then when he was blocked at the end of krsn vs seijoh and his eyes weren't even open. he hadn't even realized that he'd been blocked until the game was already over. and of course we all know how he learned to spike with his eyes open so that he could compete in the air, but to be in such complete control of his body that not only is he not powerless anymore but rather acutely aware even after being blocked, so much so he's able to retrieve the ball with his foot? im crying. and that little snippet of brazil to remind us that this is all thanks to his time there ;') as a former soccer player that little moment also made me !! because he is totally dribbling the ball without his hands in that panel, and it wouldn't surprise me if he played a few pickup soccer games in brazil... love 2 think about it
and it's just so Right that they won the game with bokuto's spike and hinata's decoy work. and just look at the huge smiles on their faces!!! aaaaa
now 4 all the little moments i loved:
yamaguchi and yachi insisting on going to tsukki's games! i love their friendship so much, and you know tsukki is going to appreciate their support as much as he's dismissive of it lol
FURUDATE IS BASICALLY TELLING US HERE THAT THEY'LL B BACK WITH A NEW STORY! as sad as i am that haikyuu!! is ending i am also super hyped to see what furudate-sensei will create in the future. but hopefully they take a nice long break first! because they totally deserve it lolw
this whole page fucked me up bokuaka canon kings but especially these panels. bokuaka soulmates! udai is like wtf... and like we've known for a while but this is further confirmation that it's not just bokuto who isn't normal, it's both of them! akaashi is just as weird! as different as they are from each other they r incredibly on the exact same wavelength and poor udai is just lost. who wants to bet that this interview will be completely useless. akaashi will present it for publication and his boss will b like akaashi...,honey i love you but this doesn't make any fucking cents
then there was this moment! everyone is in love with kiyoko! she's gorgeous! look at her smile! and i love that callback to nationals and her lil character arc ughhh kill me
anyways i don't need to even say how glad i am to see kuroo. and i gotta say i was not expecting him to b a sleazy volleyball promoting business man but... i get it lmao. and i just am !!! imagining this collab is driving me insane. and the sakuatsu crumb? i love it. (and anyway we won't talk about what happens when u crop out only the first two text bubbles)
and this line!!! callback to fukunaga!!!!!! when i said i miss fukunaga i knew we probably wouldn't see him again and yet with this line! i feel he's here in spirit ;')
AND THIS..... there r no words... their numbers........... japan......
also shoutout to sakusa flop
