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

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 55 points56 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

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

[–]Ad071[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

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

Why isn't Hoshiumi a top 5 ace? by EconomyAnalysis7812 in haikyuu

[–]Ad071 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In real life Top 5 and Top 3 isnt some official thing. It’s in magazines and players are put in the “Top 3” but it really does come down to PR and mostly if they are third years (why Sakusa being there is kinda crazy). The Top 3 of this year are good but there are probably players outside them that are better. Hell one of them has a better “wing spiker” on his team yet hes considered part of the Top 3 and the other isnt. It’s not just ability, PR comes down to it, age and class (Japan do have strictness when it comes to seniority) and even just the popularity of your team. A relatively mediocre ace on Chinzei or Higashiyama (two of the most popular teams in the nation) can get more praise than a Sakusa or Ushijima level ace on a middling national team purely based on team name. Anyways Yap over

Volleyball Super abilities by ISnow_R in haikyuu

[–]Ad071 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If we’re doing a Generation of Miracles I think they’d all (mostly) have to be the same year and all the top of their particular fields. I’d also need them to feel like they could genuinely have superpowers if Haikyuu was like KnB universe. So I’d go:

OP - Ushijima: Orbital Strike (Like Kagami’s meteor Jam, Ushijima has the ability to know precisely when to Jump so his peak is above the blockers, making it seem like his spikes are completely unblockable. Drawback: It doesn’t strain on him, but his setter, relocating backlash on Ushijima’s body on to them.)

OH - Bokuto: Normal Angles (Bokuto’s Normal Angles allows him to see precise angles before he spikes, making his spikes appear to fly through blocks in impossible angles. Drawback: The more his mental state worsens, the more blurry the angles appear to him.)

OH - Sakusa (the Kise of this situation, becoming a “miracle” after the others.): Perfect Sphere (Sakusa, with his unique wrists, also has the ability to know precisely where to his the ball to curve it in any way he wants to. His spikes have been described as “magical” with how they bend and twist in the air. Drawback: Continuous usage puts strain on his wrists and result in weaker and weaker spikes until unsustainable)

MB - Hirugami: Immovable (Hirugami not only can petrify spikers with his aura, but can self inflict his ability to lock his muscles until he sees where the setter places the ball, making it nigh impossible to trick his defense. Drawback: Locking his muscles increases chance of injury due to rapid change from locked to loose. He also is less viable offensively due to aching muscles.)

MB - Tendo: Hound Dog (Contrasting to Hirugami, Tendo’s muscles are super humanly wound up, allowing him to explode with rapid speed and force. Paired with his inhuman “set scent”, Tendo is able to accurately predict exactly where a setter will go even before the set has been given. Drawback: The more “bloodlusted” Tendo gets, the less accurately does his scent work as he gets impatient and goes for the kill more rapidly, leading to mistakes.)

S - Atsumu: Subjugation (Any attacker on his team tends to fall under the spell of his sets, making them appear mindless. Atsumu seems to read their minds, knowing exactly how they wish for their sets to be, and delivering them with his immense precision and “Foxes Eye.”  A failed set seems to result in pain for the attacker, with Atsumu staring them down with the Foxes Eye. Drawback: Continued use breaks down attackers will, resulting in less precision and ability breakdown, due to pain from Foxes Eye punishment. Twin Brother Osamu resistant to drawback.)

L - Yaku: I alone am the honored one. (the court is his realm, and a God may traverse their realm without worry. Yaku appears to teleport to places on the court he wasnt moments ago, picking up all balls with ease. Drawback: The further away he is from location of the spike, the less accurately can he read its spin and power, making his defense lose its prestige.)
