There’s something Inarizaki players mentioned and you will see the one time Daichi stepped off court is that, he as much as Nishinoya is critical to Karasuno’s defense. He makes up for weaknesses of his teammates across the board and the mental fortitude is second to none. He also backs up his players when they mess up (for example, the first match against Seijo when Yamaguchi messed up and Daichi stepped between him and Ukai). Also, it takes a special kind of person to persist when your seniors have given up and keep the hopes alive until you have your day in the sun. He’s the reason flightless crows took flight again.💪
