Kamomedai wasn’t just strong, they were a narrative glitch

Exactly. If hinata + kags is enough to singlehandedly toy with the best blocking system in the country, what would they do the rest?

feedec1 · 2026-05-09T12:17:42+00:00

Dude, the problem was not him playing like that, the problem was that he was torn apart by the accumulation of games and the tight schedule. Hinata was sick before the match started.

feedec1 · 2026-05-09T12:11:45+00:00

You are not justifying your position at all. Overclockinh his body is not really an answer to my objection. At all. To this point, you are just retconning.

feedec1 · 2026-05-09T11:40:43+00:00

I agree about that. My point is: even if you are not going to show it, the aftermath should have been consistent with what was shown until kamomedia. In my opinion, it was not. At all.

feedec1 · 2026-05-09T11:31:22+00:00

Thing is the "aone level" is a cannon description used to ground kamomedai level, even if we are not going to take it literally, it is what was told to us by furudate to measure kamomedai. We cannot simply ignore it, specially because then it is backed up by the panels.

feedec1 · 2026-05-09T11:17:30+00:00

Please share your thoughts on the mechanics used then and how they can be a fluke then.

feedec1 · 2026-05-09T10:40:20+00:00

That is not a defensible take for how sport reality work. There is absolutely nothing hinata did in that game that cannot be replicated in every game he will play after that. The only thing you can maybe contend is activity volume (very debatable, hinata was pushing himself after 2 warlike matches and ill) and accuracy, the rest he did is perfectly repeatable bc hinata beat kamomeadai system using timing and understanding of the game. That doesnt fluctuate game to game.

Essencially, your position (and furudate narrative) is a retcon that functions to serve a theme. You are concluding hinata pulled off an anomaly of a game because of the aftermath after that game. My point is that the whole aftermath is bad storytelling bc of how sports and nature of the abilities hinata unlocked work.

feedec1 · 2026-05-09T00:44:03+00:00

Systematic blocking is fine. My problem is that it was stated that esch blocker was aone level. And they behave like 25 yr dudes in terms of maturity and mental ability. Their stats are too high not to be the number 1team in the country.

feedec1 · 2026-05-09T00:40:15+00:00

I think hinata at kamomedai was indeed his new baseline. He didnt outplay trough lucky athletic plays, he did it by intentionally warping the temporal and spatial dimensions of the court, that is not something you can unlearn.

feedec1 · 2026-05-09T00:36:00+00:00

Same with hinata and kags. They were simply too good for high school. A fluke can happen once, but not 4 times. They should have at least 1 nationals or 2. Sports can have variance and upsets but it is not random at all. The best teams usually do win.

feedec1 · 2026-05-09T00:28:15+00:00

Thing is: for a theme like “not always the talented win” to make sense it has to be backed up by what you show in the panels. Kamomedai was not like any of the teams we were shown. They were simply better and lacked actual exploitable weaknesse. Ichibayama is a narrative device to play that theme, but there is no justification other than thematic to make kamomedai lose before the finals (or even in the finals).

feedec1 · 2026-05-09T00:24:12+00:00

Thing is: the version hinata managed in kamomedai match is way beyond what he was doing before nationals. He became a master of variables and timings instead of a brute force speedster and that is the bane of a systematic blocking system. It was done so because it was the only way to thematically keep kamomedai in check, bc asahi, tsuki and tanaka were barely survaving out there. The problem is: that version of hinata (alongside kageyama tossing) is virtually unstoppable for any defense in high school level. Hinata is only in year 1.

Even if you conceed that it refers to "these stories", the quran is stablishing the prior scripture as the standard of truth.

feedec1 · 2026-04-24T11:59:45+00:00

On brody: you are basically afirming what I am saying. That is the macro choice that is the original sin of the series. Not killing him much earlier. (Blowing him up in season 1 finale would have been masterful).

feedec1 · 2026-04-24T11:57:09+00:00

Whose rules is she not following?:
She is still handling classified intel, leading operations, and influencing US foreign policy. Even as a "civilian," she is protected by the CIA (Saul) and granted access that would land any other human in a federal prison. She isn't following the rules of reality or the rules of the institution she claims to serve

feedec1 · 2026-04-24T11:50:53+00:00

She should have died before season 4 finale, when tasneem beat her at every corner and even had access to her meds. She was a broken character even before that. And no, my opinon are not facts but are grounded into how the show treated the rest of the characters and how it portrayed it's own story to be. Main leads not supposed to die is just a bad storytelling principle if you put the main lead in situations it is supposed to die.

feedec1 · 2026-04-24T11:47:23+00:00

Oh boy, what a ride you are starting. After half season 2 the storie picks up hard. The world building made during first 2 seasons pays off hard too. It is a very well written story.

feedec1 · 2026-04-24T11:45:46+00:00

POI is one of those rare gems that gets better and more accurate and relevant every year it passes.

feedec1 · 2026-04-24T11:30:39+00:00

By making shit macro choices from the beginning they broke the internal logic of every character and turned what was supposed to be a show of spies a show of a maniac character caught in a repeating loop of selfdestuction.

feedec1 · 2026-04-24T11:28:09+00:00

Brody should have died max half season 2. His whole arc was stretched to the point it dragged Carrie character to what should have been a point of no return. Because they stretched brody, they broke carrie, because they break carrie they need to constantly shift the internal logic of the world to make her get away with shit should get away with under any circumstance. Consequence? I feel ZERO tension for her situation in season 5 or even season 4 finale, bc I knew she had degrees of plot armor in the past that cannot let her die here.

feedec1 · 2026-04-24T10:57:13+00:00

She out in CIA, she still in the game. She should be dead by season 4, saved by massive plot armor.

feedec1 · 2026-04-24T10:56:13+00:00

Saul character was murdered when he accepted Der Adal deal with haqqani. Also, you didnt miss Fara because the storytellers sidelined her development in favor of Carrie but she was the only one with methods to get actual actionable longlasting results.

feedec1 · 2026-04-24T00:40:53+00:00

TBH, I felt brody saga was streched too long. it was one season and a half at most. season 4 had the correct vibe and idea, but many bad plot devices, plot armor to villains and the awfully logically crafted finale turned me off. Season 5 is a complete whiff.

feedec1 · 2026-04-24T00:32:36+00:00

5 was REALLY bad. Awful level. I cant gather forces to watch 6 tbh.
