I don't think I have a favourite character because I genuinely love them all, but Nishinoya is a special little gremlin. I loved revisiting his scenes with Asahi, and some of them really hit me in the feels. There's something so relatable about Asahi's guilt and lack of confidence. Almost every character had a part to play in bringing him back into the fold, and the moment where he decides he wants this after all is beautiful.
