Unpopular opinion: Komori Motoya's existence ruins the plot completely.
Probably contains spoilers, as I dont watch the anime and dont know how far it went and did it show the funny atomic bomb of the manga.
Komori Motoya. The ball of sunshine, introduced in national training camp arc, complimenting Sakusa's demeanor and sort of bringing the group together.
Ruins the plot twice, in both of the most important aspects.
First off, he is a libero. Usually the smallest guy in the team, and we see multiple of liberos' viewpoints throughout the plot - them struggling, choosing their spot, protecting the team and such. However, he is the best libero in Japan —
— and simultaneously the tallest libero we know of, with a whopping 180 cm.
So you show us the struggles of tHe sHoRt gUyS and whatnot, and then show the tallest and say he is the best in the position used by short guys?
Okay.
But that's not even all.
Because for some reason, hundreds of chapters in, Furudate decided to scare off yaoi girlies and simultaneously set fire to the series meaning completely.
Because Komori and Sakusa turn out to be cousins.
Let me rephrase it.
Best libero in Japanese high schools and top 2 diagonal in Japanese high schools are closely blood related.
You show us the story about the guy from nowhere, trying to raise his way up the sports ladder tooth and claws, and then just casually drop "oh, but actually out of like 3 absolute top guys you will hear of 2 are almost brothers".
You know how in horse racing you can look at horse's bloodline and a lot of times predict its future?
Expect these are not horses, selectively bred for racing. These are people, and the story is supposed to oppose the exact things Furudate later throws out of the window.
Thanks for coming to my TED talk.
