kingdom animalia

okay so about haikyuu chapter 395: now we know that ushijima made the national team too. i mean, yeah, we all expected that, but it wasn’t confirmed. but most importantly, he wasn’t exactly successful…. let me just say, haikyuu really hits different compared to all the other sports manga and anime i’ve read and seen because it’s so fucking realistic. it doesn’t give us super powers and in the end the main characters don’t just win and no, not everyone is successful and happy and it’s not easy. everything, every step of the way is really damn hard. and even after victory, it doesn’t end. haikyuu is all about cold harsh truths which you don’t see often in this genre. it’s about personal growth and how it can mean something entirely different for different people. it’s about ambitions, hopes, and dreams. it’s about blessings, luck, talent (or that fact that “talent” doesn’t necessarily exist). it’s about overcoming shortcomings and making the most out of the hand you’ve been dealt. and in this chapter it once again shows us, that even if you’re lucky and you have great opportunities and you work hard and make the absolute most out of it, if you do everything the way you’re supposed to, it still doesn’t mean you’ll succeed. you might sometimes, but you won’t always. sometimes you fail. that’s just how it is because that’s the way life works. and making ushijima struggle sends exactly this powerful message, and i’m once again in awe.. haikyuu is a god damn masterpiece.
