4/4 — HAPPY BIRTHDAY ARAN!

So, they are together...

Y’all ready?? Because I am NOT...

These are just my thoughts I wrote as I read the chapter... To begin with...some more familiar faces...

ITS COACH AND SENSEIIIII AND THEY STILL COACHINGGG/it’s Tanaka and two of the second years/ALSO SAEKO-NEESAN YOUR HAIR

EDIT: I HAVE JUST BEEN INFORMED AND HAVE JUST NOW NOTICED THAT IS KIYOKO SHIMIZU NOW KIYOKO TANAKA WHICH MEANS KIYOKO AND TANAKA MARRIED HOLY SHIT THEY’RE BOTH TANAKA WAIT HANG ON WHAT THE FUCK

I’m so happy we got to see Ennoshita toooo... but look how happy they are to see each other!!!/Ryuu is a personal trainer and ENNOSHITA is a physio therapist/this is so pure they’re all meeting here to watch this is so good

But of course how can we forget the reunion of a handful of volleyball idiots

these boys right back at the same dynamic I love them/just as competitive as ever bahahahah/THEYRE ALL MEETING OH MY GODDDDD/THEYRE all idiots/literally all of them are so stupid I can’t believe these volleyball idiots are at the top of their field

The two Little Giants finally reunite and have the battle we done been waiting forrrrr

I can’t remember which Miya this is but his mini crisis surrounded by all these hyper fools and not having a good straight man to bring the good beats... but also Aran not having a foil who understands his references made me saddd

Sugamama is emotional about his babies

Bokuto just flips onto the court so he gets a wild intro too/everyone is laughing even Tsukki!!!

they’re so hyped to see Hinata again!!

But also... the final showdown is about to beginnn... and I just have one question...

WHERE IS MY LIL WILD CHILD?!?! Is he the mascot??? Is he on another team??? Is he gonna run into the stadium as a spectator, see the match, get over-excited, hop the rail, run onto the court, receive the ball at a crucial moment, then have to get escorted off the court because he’s not actually a player...

The unit used to give CP9’s power levels is 道力, with the given pronunciation of douriki. It’s not a real word, it’s kind of like two words smushed together.

Douriki (normally written with the kanji 動力) would ordinarily mean ‘dynamic power.’ The kanji used here for the ‘dou’ sound here is instead 道, meaning way or road, which is a kanji often used in the name of martial arts (柔道/judou or 剣道/kendou for example).
