Haikyuu 402 - Tumblr Posts

I just love how Furudate wrote the story so well to make it this far, Haikyuu is amazing and the complexity of the story is incredible, the character development and the journey of the characters. I'm tearing up again...

HAIKYUU 402: LAST CHAPTER SPOILER WARNING!!!

The final chapter of Haikyuu which is the most magnificent sports anime I've ever read.

Before you scroll down I'M BEGGING YOU TO PLEASE READ THE CHAPTER 402 FIRST. This is going to be super lengthy post hehe.

This is a spoiler zone, you have been warned.

I'm not gonna lie while reading this chapter I WAS CRYING THE ENTIRE TIME.

There are so many significant moments during this chapter (I honestly feel like this summary isn't going to cover everything.)

This moment during the beginning of chapter 402 when Ushijima and Tendo, I truly believe Tendo is Ushijima's first actual friend. It was shown after Karasuno VS Shiratorizawa match (Season 3) but their friendship solidifies even more during Chapter 395 timeskip when Tendo called Ushijima after the World's Match (when Team Japan lost & Ushijima faced criticism) he's the strong pillar that grounds Ushijima.

Tendo truly deserves this moment, he & Ushijima not just considering each other as 'teammates' or 'comrades' but best friends.

Everyone is hyping up on Hinata & Kageyama or Iwaizumi & Oikawa's friendship BUT CAN WE TALK ABOUT USHIJIMA'S AND TENDO'S FRIENDSHIP?

YES. WE ARE GOING TO TALK ABOUT IT. LOOK AT THEM. so beautiful. *sobs*

Everyone is talking about how glorious Lev & Alisa looks modelling together and their billboard in the streets of Shibuya but can we pause for 5 seconds to stare at the Yaku Morisuke?

LET US FREAKOUT LOOK AT YAKU WEARING THIS GORGEOUS SUIT?

Sir YOU LOOK FINE AS HELL.

I also love the fact Yaku and Lev still communicate with each other, Lev even called Yaku asking him if he has seen the billboard in Shibuya. How precious ❤ also Yaku part of the Russian VLeague team??? HOLY SHIT.

Also, I love that almost everyone in team Karasuno are gathering in Tanaka's house while watching the Olympic game together. Their solid friendship just have my heart and soul.

This moment is where all AsaNoya stans are SCREAMING TO OBLIVION. Asahi and Nishinoya TRAVELLING AROUND THE WORLD TOGETHER. Like HOLY SHIT GOOD LORD IMAGINE ALL OF THE FANFICS WE WILL GET TO READ. (Ao3 writers I'm looking at you guys)

This panel just took my breath away, I started tearing up when I was reading this. It's a full circle of Oikawa's journey - he is now against the people he wanted to defeat during this youth (Kageyama and Ushijima). He is even standing on the other side of the court against his best friend Iwaizumi.

I want to make a comparison between Ushijima & Kageyama and Iwaizumi during this panel.

Ushijima & Kageyama as Oikawa's rivals. During middle school he felt like he couldn't stand a chance against a genius setter who is 2 years his junior, in his middle school until high school him & team keeps on losing against Ushijima (who is also considered as a genius and a stroke of luck because of his left handed spikes.) Oikawa desires to DEFEAT them. This strong sense of competitiveness have matured & the adrenaline of finally become better than them WITHOUT NEEDING TO BE A GENUIS but because of SHEER HARD WORK and TENACITY.

What makes them vastly different from Iwaizumi?

It is clearly shown that it was Iwaizumi who said to Oikawa "I will defeat you on the day we fight." Not Oikawa saying that he wants to defeat Iwaizumi - instead he said "I'll be waiting for it." Oikawa does NOT have the same intense desire of needing to defeat Iwaizumi (compared to Ushijima & Kageyama) instead he said it with nostalgia. Despite Iwaizumi no longer playing volleyball professionally he is still associated with volleyball as Team Japan's athlete trainer.

It's also important to mention that Iwaizumi is Oikawa's foundation of friendship and support, Iwaizumi keeps Oikawa grounded- they have seen each other's struggles and success. THAT SHIT JUST GOT ME AND MY FEELS.

ALSO LOOK AT IWAIZUMI'S HUGE ASS PROUD GRIN, OUT OF ALL SMILES IN THIS WORLD IWAIZUMI HAJIME'S SMILE IS MY FAVORITE. (Clearly I'm an Iwaizumi simp)

the moment we've all be waiting for...

OIKAWA TOORU OFFICIALLY PART OF THE ARGENTINIAN NATIONAL TEAM.

HOLY FUCK SOMEONE HOLD MY HAND BECAUSE I'M SMILING AND CRYING AT THE SAME TIME. THERE IS NO IN BETWEEN OF MY EMOTIONAL ROLLERCOASTER IN THIS MOMENT.

I just want to say this...

OIKAWA TOORU IS THE REAL UNDERDOG OF HAIKYUU.

Imagine he has NO National experience (unlike Hinata who actually got to go to Nationals & made a name for himself.) Oikawa got the skills, the strategy, the tactics, dedication, and intense competitiveness but HE NEVER GOT THE CHANCE (he even went as far as pushing himself to be better in volleyball resulting to injuring his knee. THAT IS SOME INTENSE DEDICATION.) During his middle school and high school volleyball matches or to be able to participate in Nationals or even in Japan All Youth Team's & Trainings NOT ONCE HE IS GIVEN AN OPPORTUNITY (and honestly that shit sucks because you know that your actually good at something but no one bats an eyelash towards your direction? It must have hit on Oikawa's pride.)

OIKAWA IS THE REAL UNDERDOG. He does not lack height (compared to Hinata) but he lacks the ACKNOWLEDGEMENT and he lacks the chance of be in center stage when he was in Japan.

But now in Argentina he becomes the REAL KING OF THE COURT. Now, he FINALLY is at center stage dazzling brighter than anyone, he is the most talked about volleyball player - he used to be a nobody in Japan but now he is someone that everyone knows and acknowledges.

Hands down the BEST character development.

Now I NEED Haikyuu chapter centered on Oikawa's struggles and experiences in Argentina - alone in a foreign country to chase his dreams that shit is amazing and inspiring.

This panel made me stop breathing for a while. LOOK AT MAGNIFICENT AND GLORIOUS THEY ARE.

JAPAN'S NATIONAL TEAM.

I HAVE NO WORDS. EVERYONE LOOKS SO BEAUTIFUL AND POWERFUL AND LOOK AT THAT TINY IWA IN THE CENTER.

My skin has cleared. My sadness now gone. My lifespan increased by 10 years. Someone please put this panel on my forehead, thank you very much.

There are so many important portions in the following scenes in this panel but I choose this one because it reminded me of Hinata & Kageyama's dynamics since Season 1.

Hinata always calling for a toss to Kageyama (remember Season 1: Dateko VS Karasuno match, or during Season 2 Training camp Hinata always calls for a toss and Kageyama always delivers.)

The greatest weapon is their powerful bond and synchronization, their freak duo toss that shifts the momentum of the game.

Kageyama and Hinata: the greatest rival, the greatest opponent, the greatest ally, and now the greatest weapon FINALLY used on center stage.

For me this moment really put Haikyuu into it's full circle, it really put it into completion, and it truly made it perfect ending.

This image of Udai Tenma drawing on his new manga that is ABOUT VOLLEYBALL and this little boy riding a bicycle looking at the TV (this ICONIC moment Season 1 Episode 1, Haikyuu Chapter 1)

Hinata Shoyou used to be the boy riding his bicycle looking at Karasuno's number 10 Little Giant - now Hinata Shoyou isn't just known as 'Little Giant' but Ninja Shoyou proudly wearing this Number 10 Jersey PART OF JAPAN'S NATIONAL TEAM.

He is now someone ALL children aspires to be, someone that they want to become in the future - someone that inspires them to play volleyball and keep on breaking the tall wall looming over them.

I FULL BLOWN SOBBED DURING THIS MOMENT. The impact, the power, the intensity of volleyball into their lives.

These two moments really struck a chord, Haikyuu isn't just about Hinata and his teammates. It is about no matter how little or big your journey is it will always leave the GREATEST impact into someone's life.

This wraps up the 8 truly amazing years of Haikyuu.

Furudate and his wonderful team of assistants, editors, translators, and researchers. Thank you for bring us joy through Haikyuu - thank you for inspiring us everyday and for creating these characters.

I've been reading Haikyuu for 3 years already, when I first watched a Haikyuu with no expectations and no idea what is volleyball but now I am fully immersed in the Haikyuu fandom. Who would have thought I'll be obsessed with this anime? I've watched and read so many manga & animes but it is Haikyuu that really struck me the most.

This ending is BEYOND MY EXPECTATIONS - it really blew me off the roof and I have a mixture of both sadness and joy. I'm sad that Haikyuu is ending but I'm also happy that all of the characters I grew to love have forged their own paths and grew not just as volleyball players but as characters that we can connect and relate on.

I would like to quote my favorite line in Haikyuu:

"For today you happen to be the defeated. But what will you become tomorrow?"

- Chapter 368: What Will You Become?

Thank you for the last 8 years Furudate!

(This is an extremely lengthy post, if you have come this far, congratulations! 🎉)

HINATA IS BACK TO BRASIIIIL

HE’S IN ASAS SÃO PAULO

É BRASIL NA VEIA PORRA

FUCK YEAH

I’m begging you for more Hinata in Brazil fics

Hinata was in Brazil in 2015 to 2017 if I’m not wrong

So he lived here in the best years of funk (a famous music genre in Brazil, especially in Rio de Janeiro)

I’m begging you to do a fanfic of Hinata dancing funk

Here’s the link for one of my favorites by the time I was in High School

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_g3U4fJFMM0

I can help you with translations if you want, just wanna read some good shit about Shoyo in my country 

I got revived from the dead and came back just to post this. And that's the post, goodnight 😔😔😔 I don't take criticism thank u

Some Husband drawings I did for my followers on Instagram!! Plus bonus Ushiten!!

Timeskip boys really do be making me feel some type of way;;

Remember when I said Issei's funeral home is a front to hide Hiro's vigilante stuff?? Well what if we push it one step further and Hiro is actually an associate for the Yakuza 😳

Link to the older works for this AU!! : Issei’s!! & Hiro’s!!

AU where Oikawa and Iwa are my fictional adoptive dads 🤩🤩🤩🤩 fjsjjdjs I'm kidding hhh, I just wanted to do something self indulgent and draw myself with my boys;; I've seen plenty of other artists do it and wanted to give it a shot dhjsjs Now for the long ass paragraph, god where do I begin, here we go

I got into Haikyuu in 2015, found out about it through some really pretty art and spiralled from there. Here's me being an absolute cheesy son of a bitch but Haikyuu has always been more than just an anime to me and I think that's the same for a lot of you guys. Never would I have thought I'd have the following I do today if it weren't for my love for haikyuu which is shared by so many djsjjs. Haikyuu has given me one of my biggest comfort Characters, Iwa. He's been the Character I project so much onto as well as been the sole instigator to all of my ideas which have evolved from AUs to some of my own original stories and Characters;; This series has saved me in so many ways I can't even begin to explain. I've met some of my bestest friends through this fandom, made so many new ones just this year alone. This fandom has had its downs, at one point, earlier this year in fact, my love for haikyuu had died. No longer did I share the love I had for it because of so many things happening in my personal life, but turning this account into an art a account from a shitpost account reignited my love for the franchise having brought a whole new wave of people who appreciate and support what I do. I know at the end of the day, these are all just fictional characters. But the memories and emotions they've allowed me to have are some of the realest I have ever had. I've cried, laughed, gotten mad and so much more but honestly I wouldn't have it any other way. To Furudate, thank you for these wonderful 8 years, and well 5 for me. I don't see this as an end but like a new beginning?? My love for haikyuu is as strong as ever and I won't be saying goodbye to it anytime soon But again, thank you!!!

Headcanon that Oiiwa are secretly dating but not married They technically have a place together but it's usually just Hajime home alone since Oikawa spent most of his time in Argentina. Kinda feel like they would make the long distance thing work hhhh Whenever oikawa was back they'd make the most out of it 🤩🤩🤩 I don't know what else to say I was fucking high when i made this lol

Please guys help me spread Tsubakihara & teramaru propaganda pls hfkshdkks

It's dem!! It's dem!! My boys!! My baby boys!!!! 

Guess who finally went back to reading the manga 😳😳😳😳 I haven't read it since 2016 hfkdjdjdj, and boy, I'm really back on my bullshit with falling in love with characters who only appear for 5 chapters fjsj

Tsubakihara has won my heart and now, i love them as much as seijoh!! ljsdhgjh, I don’t expect this to do very well but I really wanted to share my new loves;;

Headcanons under the cut because we were barely given anything on them

Maru's canon current concern is that he worries he's too timid/a coward fjsjdj, I headcanon that he doesn't really have the best self esteem and places a lot more trust in Tera and Ichigo in regards to volleyball instead of himself

Also like the idea that he really admired Tera especially when it comes to volleyball because Tera knows his own strengths and how to properly utilise them

Tera's canon current concern on the other hand is that his younger brother is being cold to him fjsjdj, so my idea is that he's actually really sweet and caring and notices tiny behaviour changes which makes him a nice person to talk to???

I don't think they'd be childhood friends instead they'd have met in like middle school or highschool and got close from there???

Also like some artist notes on how you can differentiate Maruyama and iwa in my style!! Iwa has sharper eyes, and slightly side-swept spiky hair while Maru has rounder eyes and pointed up hair!! Also Iwa has dark brown hair and Mary has black hair!! Also last thing, Mary's eyebrows are like slightly thicker?? I think hfjshdjd

Hello they may be in long distance kinda thing but they are married and make it work because they love each other >:(( I don't make the rules Words can't describe how much I love Athlete trainer Iwa;; he's just so amazing, I love him;;

Iwa doesn't usually send selfies but when he does he makes sure it's something Tooru will lose his shit over 😈🤩🤩 wearing your husband's jersey + glasses surely will do the trick 🤪🤪🤪 Also just for general context I guess this takes places after 402?? So uh post-canon?? Tooru's team is chilling in Japan for a little while but Tooru forgot to bring his jersey to practice 🤡🤡 (Not like he needs it but I just wanted to draw flirty iwa teasing his husband 🤩🤩🤩🤩)

Alt version iwa without glasses lmao

Iwa's arm looks weird but I'm too tired to try and fix it anymore 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩

Hello, so more iwa in oikawa's jersey because yes 😌 Tooru really likes it when iwa wears his shirts in general but his jersey with his last name??? Godly It's not as obvious this time but just know and believe me when I say that it's oikawa's jersey hdjsjd, but yeah have some post-canon husbands 🤩🤩🤩

Click here for Part 1!

Alt versions as usual

That awkward moment when you forget to tell people you're married and end up being questioned as to if your last names are coincidentally the same or you're something else fhjxhfjdj, click here for first part!! Dedicated to this wonderful ask an anon sent me on Tumblr!!!

Alt Version!
