Hinata Shouyou’s Successful Diving Receive!
THEY DID THE THING
KAGS, YOU DENSE DORK…
Imagine how famous these bbys are gonna get by the end of the year asfkl;
When in actuality they’re just dweebs
I was daydreaming about Kageyama touching Hinata’s hair and this just drew itself
Imagined what it’d be like if they started dating in canon verse AND I’M BURNING
also
partners 💙🧡
Hinata and Kageyama being silly for 2 minutes:
Babysit they said. It’ll be fun they said.
guess who loves the season 3 ed so much they redrew it in timeskip (this guy)
Still can't believe Furudate got away with making them king and queen. And no one batted an eye.
Kageyama's backstory only being revealed near the very end of the series is really interesting from a meta perspective.
For reference, his chapter is 387 out of 402. That's 96% of the way in.
To contrast, other characters like Tsukishima and Yamaguchi's backstories are shown in Chapters 87-88.
Now, we do get the explanation for his "King of the Court" title in Chapter 6, at the start of the series, but we don't see how he got to that point, or why he started playing volleyball in the first place like Tsukishima's and Yamaguchi's stories show.
It creates this situation where, despite being the deuteragonist, the character our protagonist, Hinata, is practically glued to the entire series, we barely know anything about him.
We don't even know he has a sister until that point whereas other characters' siblings like Natsu, Saeko, Akiteru, Alisa have all made appearances way before then. Even Oikawa's sister, though we don't see her, we at least know she exists because of Takeru.
He's both closed off to us (the audience) as well as the other characters in the series, and this results in them finding him rude or disliking his character in general (see: the "Kageyama is abusive" discourse that somehow keeps popping up even now).
Chapter 387 takes place in 2018 and was published in 2020 so it takes him 6 years of in-universe time and 8 years of irl time to really open up.
And the catalyst for all of this is Hinata fulfilling his promise of beating him.
You see, another thing to note is that, whenever Hinata thinks of Kageyama, he's always looking at him from behind.
His internal image of him is someone who's always up ahead, someone he needs to catch up to, meaning Hinata can only see one side of him, he cannot see all of Kageyama until he catches up and passes him.
Which he finally does here.
In this shot Hinata is finally the one who's looking back at Kageyama. At this moment, Hinata (and by extension the audience) can see him for all he is, can see how he was just a lonely boy who's been waiting for someone to meet him where he is, to keep running alongside him and not quit the race.
Someone he doesn't have to go easy on. Someone who would actually tell him to hurry up instead of slow down for a change.
His someone better.
All of this is beautiful. Look at Hinata. He learnt how to float goddammit! and Kageyama is a proud bf 😭
I was never expecting Haikyuu to be a story about a great athlete's humble beginnings and volleyball journey. A story of many great athletes and their climb to their own ladders. They have reached the top of the world, they became the protagonists of the world, they are living their dreams and passions. Even if they grow old and retire as athletes surely they will continue with the sports. They will continue to love it and to inspire others as they have lived their best lives playing it to the fullest. I just love Haikyuu so much. Thank you very much for this story Furudate Sensei. Thank you Haikyuu!!
Then at least say it with a nice face!!
for those of you sad that kageyama and hinata end up on different teams post time skip, i have some good news!!! the japanese national team, which they both end up on, doesn’t just compete at the olympics. the national team competes at an array of different championships, most notably the FIVB Volleyball Nations League, which is held every year. so whatever team they decide to go play for around the world, they still come back to play together every summer (and also some other times sprinkled throughout the year).
I'm here now
1st years 🧡✌️
