No stakes in Haikyuu

Haikyuu feels like there is nothing really to lose, it feels like there are no stakes and they never suffer any consequences.

They first baited us with the, this is the seniors last time, then they lost to Aoba Johsai and all the seniors kept playing as if nothing happend.

It was a good match but what did they really lose? Nothing. And then when they lost again to Kamomedai, the author run away from the consequences and jumped into a timeskip.

Haikyuu feels to much like a Fairy Tale Anime were nothing goes wrong. In other Sports Anime loses feel way bigger, like in Diamond No Ace, there was no bait, they actually lost all there Seniors and Key players like Captain + Ace, had to start over from scratch which created a interesting Story line.

In Hajime no Ippo or Ashita no Joe, boxing can grand you many things but it also takes away whatever it wants like your health. MF‘s putting their health on the line every fight.

I love how obsessed everyone is about winning in Blue Lock and how crushed they are when they lose. Every Game literaly feels like life or death, if they lose against the U20 National team Blue Lock will be erased and everything would had been for nothing, if they lose the World Cup Blue Lock was a failure.

A loss in Haikyuu feels like it does not really matter, 1 Episode later they all still be together having fun and laughing. No stakes, no consequences, matches like Aoba Johsai and Shiratorizawa were still great but Haikyuu really lacks that one crushing defeat with real hard consequences.

Takeru: I have to beat Hinata to then beat the little giant itself

Tsukki: you will have to beat me to then beat Hinata itself

I love this symbolism cos it shows how Tsukki is just as important as Hinata. Also it's unique given his brother's backstory and all.

HAIKYU POP MART FIGURES GO

Pop Mart decided not to put these online on their website for some bizarre reason so I’m planning to order a full set from EBay.

This will only go through if all characters are claimed! I have held GOs in the past but it’s been a while, feel free to ask any questions!

Each claim includes price of the figure + shipping to me + shipping to you! Based on eBay prices each figure will be around $35 before shipping from me to you!

Payment is due when the boxes are filled. Claims cannot be refunded unless you get someone to take your spot. And of course everyone will be refunded if I’m not able to secure the sets!

•some slots may be filled already so please comment below who you’re interested in and I will reach out if they’re available!
•there is a chance one of the boxes will contain a special character but I will not be putting them up for claim. If your character is replaced by a special, I will refund you! I have no control over this as the set of 12 is randomized with the specials!
•will be prioritizing people claiming more than one character to fill in the sets

Top 5 Haikyuu teams I would NOT want to play against.

  1. Kamomedai- Maxed out version of Dateko with exceptional serves?? Hell nah. Not to mention they feature a little giant that is an everything in 1 player (blocker, setter, spiker, receiver, server). Their serving is already putting tons of pressure on the opposing team, imagine how much more damage their blocking does.

Even if your spike does somehow get through, they got Hoshiumi, Nozawa, and Gao ready.

  1. Mujinazaka- They have Kiryu, which is arguably the hardest hitter after Ushijima. He has a nasty jump serve, and good at adjusting to various tosses. I'm afraid of Usuri as well, as he has good game sense while very good at pressuring the opposing team. Their blocking is definitely underrated with Unnan stopping Bokuto couple times throughout the match.

  2. Shiratorizawa- Similarly, Ushijima is another top 3 ace, but with something a little extra added (I didn't say it for spoilers). Their passing and attacking is definitely more complete with Reon, Goshiki, and Yamagata being able to receive at any given time. Even if Ushijima is unable to attack, Reon and Goshiki are definitely more than capable at scoring.

  3. Inarizaki- They have the most jump servers out of all the other powerhouses we see (both in the starting lineup and bench) with a total of 8. With Atsumu and Aran already having terrifying serves. Their offense is undeniably one of the best we see in the series, having Suna and Aran. Even if you limit Atsumu, Osamu is able to make up for him.

  4. Nekoma- I dislike teams that take things slow and tear you apart (Seijoh, Sarukawa are other examples of this). But Nekoma excels at that, due to Kenma being able to instruct the team how to counter various strategies. If your offense isn't as explosive as Karasuno or Inarizaki, then your team is in a lot more trouble.

Atsumu Miya baaag

My baby boy Atsumu… I’m so sad I couldn’t get enough adult (as in post timeskip) merch of him so I’m collecting some still, if anyone knows some adult Atsumu keychains or buttons please send them my way :)

The bag is from Tokyu Hands, and most of the merch is from K-Books in Osaka. And a couple things from the Haikyuu pop up shop in the Nagoya Nova/Loft building, but it’s all plushies. I’m working on getting even more bags for more plushies too, I got a 20cm coming in the mail…

Just look at this smug piece of shit. He’s such a fucking loser I LOVE HIM SO MUCH. When I was in Osaka there was a crazy amount of Atsumu merch so I took advantage of it !

I made an enamel pin of Kageyama and Hinata :)

I've been working on this for months and glad to finally show the final version. The birds are on a second layer and there's a spring effect which allows them to boing! More photos and videos are available on my instagram OffuCreations if you'd like to see more angles :) Aiming to do Kenma and Kuro next!

Johzenji Are Better Than You Remember

This is something I’ve been thinking about for a while but that I felt compelled to post after rereading their match with Karasuno recently, but I think Johzenji are way more skilled than most people remember, and are even more skilled than the series depicts them.

IMO, there are two Johzenji players who stand out, not just among the Miyagi players, but among all the players we get to see, and those are Futamata and Terushima. So we’re going to talk about them, because they sort of exemplify what makes Johzenji so exceptional.

Terushima:

In my opinion, there are two key moments that really highlight how skilled he is.

The first of these is his spinning-around end line hit, which is literally the first attack of the match. I think this is one of the most athletic and acrobatic hits we see in the entire series, and there are maybe 2-3 other players I think could hit it. He’s jumping forward, opening up, and then dropping his left shoulder and using his core to straighten out in midair and is basically using that movement of his torso to add power to the swing as he hits from a position that generates almost no power. He does that while being unable to see where he’s hitting until halfway through the movement, and he does it off a ball that wasn’t even set. Doing that with enough force to be an actual threat and with enough precision to keep it in bounds, even with it being low enough that he has to hit it slightly upwards, is absurd. It might just be because I work with the body, but every time I go back to look at the biomechanics of this movement I’m more impressed. And he does this in the first rally, when most people are still warming up.

The second play, which honestly might be even more impressive, is when he sets what appears to be a quick with his foot. Notably, the ball contacts Tsuchiyu’s platform right behind Terushima, and then he does a full 180 to kick the ball straight up while falling over, which Numajiri is there to hit. And to top it all off, we know that Terushima planned for that to work out how it did. For this, I mainly need to highlight how difficult it is to kick a ball directly upwards while falling on your back. Most people will instinctively kick the ball back over their own head in that scenario, as that’s where the natural path of the leg would carry it.

This paints a picture of an outside hitter with complete mastery over his own body and a mind that can keep up with it. I have to assume that in his third year, with some more time to mature and improve his consistency, he should be maybe the most annoying person to play against in the entire prefecture.

Futamata:

Futamata is honestly the hidden gem in Johzenji’s lineup. This guy might be a setting prodigy.

I don’t think there’s any other setter in the series who so frequently has his opponents at a loss for what he’s about to do. He both attacks and feigns attacks more frequently than any other setter, and he’s really good at getting past opposing blockers because of it. He has probably the most perfectly executed fake-hit-into-set in the series, and a big reason it works so well is because he’d gotten into Kageyama’s head with his previous spike.

He’s also, like Terushima, an athletic freak, because he also has a kick set. His doesn’t seem to be a quick like Terushima’s, since there’s a beat before Izaka spikes it, but it’s still up-tempo. He’s also very smartly rotating his hips to ensure he can kick with the dorsal surface of the foot, which makes the ball easier to control, and the fact that he’s swinging his opposite leg across provides a solid amount of power that it might otherwise lack. And most importantly, this seems to have either begun while he’s still in the air falling from a block or while he’s very off-balance, which makes his control and the fact that he manages to set a hittable ball directly upwards very impressive.

I also need to talk about his one-handed back quick. We’ve seen a few one-handed quicks in the series, but they almost always go down the middle, because that’s a difficult position to generate force from. But Futamata sets his to the right, behind him.

Futamata doesn’t have the intellect of someone like Kenma, nor the stability of someone like Shirabu, but he’s one of the series’ most physically gifted setters and is almost unmatched in his ability to pull his opponents into his own rhythm.
