SO MUCH CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT!!!
OIOIOI - HEYHEYHEY!!!!!
Probably one of my favourite volumes so far- I just love the training camp.
Whoah Kageyama compromised on a set, he saw Hinata getting frustrated about not being able to hit it and tried to make it work for him ahhh! Kageyama is practising alone, he feels like he is letting Hinata down ah. HE DID IT. He focused and thought about Hinata hitting his set and it worked. :')
Hinata and Tsuki playing with their heroes! The aces and best spikers ah! Kuroo giving Tsuki all these tips is so awesome, it's helping motivate him so much.
Hinata hyping up Bokuto and Bokuto hyping up Hinata just as much back is what I live for! Bokuto taught him that if you just keep your cool, the way out is clear. Bokuto smacked the ball off the blockers hands for a rebound so he could try the set again wow. Hinata went up against 6"4 guys and hit the ball up at the ceiling, he got around their wall!
Karasuno freaking out about the BBQ is great, using food as a motivation haha! I remember that scene being animated hilariously as well!
I like Akaasshi being so DONE with Kuroo and Bokuto though I am him.
WOW! Bokuto taught Hinata to faint the ball, when he can see that he can get a powerful spike and has the chance to smash the ball through, don't. Faint the ball and hit it so all his opponents dive for the ball. That's such a POWERFUL moment for Hinata, he realised he is capable that more as not only are Fukurodani shocked but so are Karasuno! Especially Kageyama he 'compliments' him.
Funny that Fukurodani are shocked and 'mad' at Bokuto for teaching Hinata that move haha!
Bokuto did a super awesome cut shot- he was BLOCKED and he twisted his shoulder to go right of the block he controlled the ball. Ahhh. Bokuto seeking validation from Akaasshi is so cute.
Omg. Kageyama and Hinata man. Wow. The fact that they communicated with each other through their EYES and they both understood this was the moment they were trying their new quick. IT WORKED. Their reaction and excitement was incredible. They are both so happy and shocked it's so so beautiful. I'm proud of my crow sons. I love these metaphors! The first gear is set! They're on the way to becoming a beautiful working machine.
Hinata saying to Kageyama "YOU REALLY ARE AWESOME," Is amazing because it's like he's just realising how GOD LIKE his skills are, how much work and intelligence went into that toss. Wow.
The new quick is amazing, it gives Hinata a chance to MAKE A CHOICE, if he's about to get blocked or something happens he can decide how the set will go omg.
NOYA SET THE BALL OMG! Everyone has grown so much! He set a backrow set for Asahi wow such a good team Asanoya!
THE SYNCHRONISED ATTACK, our third years wow wow wow. It's so amazing! TANAKA HIT THE BALL AND SPIKED IT!!!!
Akaashi's thought process on how to deal with Bokuto was hilarious. Bokuto is getting stressed, he got blocked and made an error. He doesn't want to let the team down. Mopey Bokuto is here.
Fukurodani isn't a team lead by their ace, the team leads him. I love how much the team support him and step up when they need too. They become a team that can BEAT everyone else when Bokuto is in top form. Wow.
"All we need is one good block," - Tuski really getting into the game!!!!
That was so clever. Akaashi knows man, he reads Bokuto SO WELL. He knew exactly that Karauno had figured them out and bought Bokuto back to the team at the perfect moment winning the set.
They had the BBQ everyone said goodbye and promised to meet each other on the court again soon. Wow.
Tsuki saw his brother again and he told him how height is it's own weapon and that he should use it. He didn't give up volleyball because he knows how fun it is, he's had his moment and wants it back.
Wow. I love the development so much everyone is pumped!
