oooh let’s talk about this panel and more importantly, the Nishinoya of it all.

Because this is the chapter where we find out Nishinoya didn’t go pro and in fact is traveling around the world, something I reckon most people were surprised by because Noya’s one of the best liberos, if not the best that we see in canon and if he’d chosen to go pro, he’d undoubtedly be one of the top liberos in the entire world.

But he chooses not to and at first, I was slightly outraged but talent doesn’t mean obligation and while Hinata and Bokuto’s relish their new freedom to play whatever kind of volleyball they want, Nishinoya sets himself free from volleyball itself and discovers the freedom to do other things, which is frankly just as important.

Hilmes thoughts that I'm considering thanks to my fic. It occurs to me that Hilmes is basically... roughly the inverse of Kaykhusraw. To elaborate on that involves novel spoilers through to the end of the series, so consider yourselves warned.

Kaykhusraw: unified Pars under his banner with an army he raised himself Hilmes: invaded Pars under the Lusitanian banner as a 'guest general' of Lusitania

Kaykhusraw: defeated and sealed Zahhak using Rukhnabad Hilmes: attempted to take Rukhnabad and helped facilitate Zahhak's return

Kaykhusraw: first Shah of Pars Hilmes: never actually becomes king

Kaykusraw: betrayed and killed by his own son Hilmes: a son who was betrayed by his own 'father', who ordered his death

Kaykhusraw: founder of his dynasty, royal line began with him Hilmes: last of that lineage, the royal line died with him

Oof.

Am I using this pattern to inform my ever-growing set of personal Kaykhusraw headcanons? Yes.
