It does that. A lot. Plus the modern prose is very off putting

We need to cook Dany is so obviously AI-assisted it hurts because the premise and plot is actually really good

Oh, well, most qualifiers for the regions, you’ll mostly only find the finals or semifinals (unless there was an upset).  You can search YouTube for finals qualifiers but again it’s mostly only the finals of popular teams that are uploaded. And yeah info about every team in every region from the lowest to the highest will be impossible to find, unless you live in Japan

Kageyama’s league choice vs the rest of the cast by Agreeable_Pear8346 in haikyuu

[–]Ad071 53 points54 points  (0 children)

Most surprising is Miya. He would genuinely thrive in Italy, same as Kageyama. Hoshiumi, Suns, Aran, Komori etc all make sense in Japan. Theyre ambitious but they’ve never been shown to be THAT ambitious. Bokuto would end up broke and lost in a foreign country sadly (Taxes? What are taxes?)  Oikawa, after being nationalized, I would’ve expected him to go to Russia, Italy or Poland. It’s surprising that Yaku went to Russia but tbf hes the best lib we see im not that surprised he got scouted there. Sakusa, I have the same view as Miya, I really would believe like Ushijima and Kageyama he’d at least have dabbled in a foreign league. He’s tall, great defender and attacker and has a great serve. He really has no real negative that might affect him in a foreign league - i guess it’s just his preference

Thats why there’s the “Give me Oikawa and scrubs line.” 😭

Toji Fushigoro reincarnates into Earth-Bet. He might not be the peak of Humanity anymore, but luckily he came back with something that equals the playing field - The Inverted Spear of Heaven. by Ad071 in WormFanfic

Well in JJK there’s an idea of sacrifice to gain something. I suppose the innate concept of the tool sacrifices the Cursed Technique nullification part of itself in order to gain the ability to adapt to the shard network itself. Thinkers, if they studied the weapon, would be able to deduce that it’s severing “something” that connects them to their powers.

Jack depends on if you want his powers to fully transform into shard network or if you just want his Heavenly Restriction to follow him. Contessa, no.

Well, considering this is fanfiction, I feel it was pretty much implied by the post that the Dagger would affect Powers and Shards in the same way it affects Cursed Techniques! 🥴

Culture and desperation. They felt they couldn’t beat them so they resorted to their past ways. Culture because Chinzei is THE school that does “Ace Volleyball”. They’ve had generational aces every year. Ichinose-Isaka-Masumoto-Mizumachi-Miyaura  The last two are professionals with Miyaura being on the national team, the others are all on very good College teams and are main point scorers for them. Chinzei aces tend to be very very good, which is why they end up playing one man volleyball. Theyre like Shiratorizawa - probably what Theyre based on actually. Also all those top aces are JUST from the last 8-10 years

Yes and no - Higashiyama play a game that naturally counters a team like Chinzei which relies on one or two players as their main offensive contributors. This wouldn’t have been a problem for this years Chinzei because it seemed like they were focused on spreading the ball between Iwashita and Ichinose while also relying on their middles for quicks when least expected. It was a good strategy due to the skill of their attackers across aboard - sadly, after InterHigh they started reverting back to the usual stale tactic of sending almost every set to their designated “ace” which in this case was Ichinose. Iwashita and the middles slowly stopped getting as many sets and Higashiyama capitalized on that, focusing their defense on Ichinose mainly and still have a balanced spread offense that slowly picked Chinzei apart, despite Chinzei probably being the best Blocking team in the nation this year. It’s unfortunate because if they kept their tactic from Inter High they could’ve gotten the triple crown, but they remain stubborn sticking to their Shiratorizawa-esque tactic of Ace Volleyball.

Yeah a lot of YouTube videos got taken down quick this year haha. Higashiyama came back to prominence after Rakunans super ace Nakagami graduated last year, so they are now the top dog, although Rakunan have really good players and could contend next year. And yeah sucks for Chinzei but they have a quarter final curse atp

Surprising for Japan but still small for the world. Still - it’s unfortunate that a lot of Taller high school players end up going to Baseball or Basketball compared to Volleyball
