something that tendo found amazing about high school ushijima was that he knew exactly how strong he is — there was no modesty and no arrogance in his behavior. his claims matched his skills. when they were younger, if he couldn't do something, he'd also just state it outright

Q: Has Ushijima-senshu changed you in any way? Tendo: Hmmm~ Changed... Maybe not, I would say... I didn't really think I could stay friends with someone for this long, so maybe I am still being changed, if anything. 🥺🥺🥺

lmfao atsumu's impression of oikawa from the olympics was "doesn't this guy have Too much character?" DSJFKBSD "a junior high school with tobio-kun and oikawa-kun would've been waaay too much, way too much" he does call oikawa one of the excellent setters of the world~

kageyama learned how to leverage the spikers' skills from oikawa, and he was "an amazing person" to him in hs. oikawa's decision to move abroad made him realize that there's another path like that. "as a setter, [he's] always been my goal and the senpai i want to beat"

[Oikawa about representing Argentina] "If I'm honest, I also wanted to compete against the Japanese team. You know, the "monster generation" — well, we're actually from the same one — I figured, hey, I can beat them all in one go."

Haikyuu is currently advertised on the Yamanote line in Tokyo, and they have a video with Bokuto, Ushijima, and Oikawa promoting the new Haikyuu magazine; some kind Japanese fans shared the video and the text, so I translated it! Enjoy these 3 being dorks~

to iwaizumi, volleyball is a "guidepost". to him, the human body is quite grand and profound, and when he feels like he can't understand it well enough, he goes back to the times when he simply loved volleyball, which has been there for him for forever now

The "I consider everyone my partner" phrase was in response to the question of whether Oikawa's met a partner like Iwaizumi since then. "Actually, I want to be a setter that can make any spiker feel like we've been partners forever even when we play together for the 1st time"

lmao so apparently oikawa did "consult" with iwa-chan about his move overseas, but iwa figured that oikawa was already set on it, so he just said, "why not", to which oikawa was like "that can't be all you have to say!!" tl;dr oikawa was being annoying asfkbndsjkfbs

it's been 10 years since they graduated hs, and if iwaizumi happened to meet oikawa again, what would he want to do? "Hmmm... maybe do some passing drills together, it's been a while"

these days iwaizumi and oikawa don't talk that much outside of the line group with all their classmates from hs, but they discuss training sometimes. he says the funniest bit was when he suddenly got the oihina selfie from oikawa x) "a picture with hinata shoyo-senshu"
