class divide & struggle in haikyuu

haikyuu twitter has brought up the theme of class struggle in hq and it really got me thinking just how subtle and effective furudate is in portraying class divide throughout the story.

hinata is introduced riding a bike, seeing volleyball through a store TV (not his own like Hoshiumi, Ushijima, Kageyama), and years later he's still riding a bike up and down a mountain every day for an hour to get to school and practice. how the gyms in the public schools like nekoma and karasuno have stages because they're multipurpose, as opposed to the specific volleyball facilities that shiratorizawa and other private schools have. the bond that nekoma and karasuno have as being the public schools in their prefectures, being known as "scavengers", taking what they can get and fighting tooth and nail for it. THE DUMPSTER BATTLE.

Shiratorizawa Academy vs. Karasuno High. almost every other school (aoba johsai, shiratorizawa, kamomedai) having non-volleyball team-specific tracksuits and merch, while karasuno wears the generic "ics" athletic wear. star players like ushijima and hirugami having family that played pro-volleyball and got them started from a young age in professional spaces.

daichi's nightmare about the basketball team overtaking their gym and not letting them practice. kageyama noticing right away that the floors in the all-japan youth camp weren't wooden. takeda working overtime to try to get gyms reserved, practice matches organized, buses rented out. ukai still working at his grocery store his entire first year coaching karasuno (suggesting that karasuno couldn't afford to pay him enough).

karasuno having to adjust to the lights and the height of the ceiling at nationals, when all the other teams were used to it. karasuno renting out that little old inn for nationals, right next to the giant, 25-floor hotel that other teams were staying in. inarizaki intimidating their opponents with their huge student section, affording to literally transfer an entire student BAND from hyogo to tokyo.

it's the reason that there's something specifically annoying about ushijima when we first meet him, something off-putting as we see hinata and kageyama watching shiratorizawa practicing for the first time in their fancy gym at their huge school. something infuriating about hearing ushijima talk down to hinata and basically dismiss karasuno as a threat entirely. when ushijima says aoba johsai is "infertile soil", hinata thinks, if they are infertile soil, then I Am Hinata Shoyo from the Concrete. and our concrete school, despite all odds, despite lack of resources and funding and reputation, will still beat you. i don't have what you have and yet i will still make it to the top!!!!!!!

Got Toya's Sanrio card and these interactions are so funny... VBS has been on the RW grind lately in Ensekai so kind of I forgot how fun their more light-hearted interactions were

as fun as Kohane without going to Vivid Street would be I have been thinking more about it and. a Kohane that doesn't train under Taiga. a Kohane that doesn't lead Crawl Green. a Kohane that can't succeed at her assignment.

I do wonder, with the next world links being what-if scenarios.. will it just be what every character would be like if the main story didn't happen or if it will be if a certain event story didn't happen..

➥ in celebration of one year of running this blog approaching...

i present the Project Sekai Silly Superlatives Survey!!

➟ as of right now, i plan to have this form open about 2 weeks. this is subject to change. i will edit with the closing date i decide on later.

➟ form will be closing february 16!

➟ the form is officially closed! thank you all for participating! presentation coming soon!

➟ this survey is completely anonymous and will take about 5~15 minutes to complete based on my estimates.

➟ i will release a presentation on the results of this survey with fun little graphs and charts after the form has closed, as well as highlighting some notable replies to the free response questions!

➟ i don't like asking for this, but reblogging for reach would be very appreciated if you enjoy the idea or are excited for the results / future surveys! this is about all project sekai OCs, not just akito or vbs!

➟ i'm not sure if superlatives are a thing in all countries, so quick explanation below:

most commonly you'll see superlatives in (high) school yearbooks. it's basically like an award that that student body nominates students for and votes on. typically you'll see stuff like "most likely to become prime minister / president," "most likely to cure a disease," "most contagious smile," or "best hair." i'm sure it varies by school.

except instead of normal stuff i included stuff like "most puntable" or "most microwaveable." for fun!

the form itself is pretty self-explanatory, i just liked the alliterative name :)

"Saki glue theory more like Mizuki glue theory-" sorry to be a killjoy but Mizuki glue theory literally has even less to back it up than the first one does. Stop trying to make one character to be more important than the others stopppp appreciate them on their own merit. Dammit

'a dream where they are "walking seperate paths"' seems to imply that they are all witnessing the same dream from their own perspectives, however it's also very vague so the moment they're walking seperate paths could be anywhere between vbs just never forming to the group actually disbanding after what happened with taiga to them focusing solely on rad blast and having nowhere to go after that so. yeah that's it. however I really doubt it's that last one and I can't see vbs just quitting at a point like lutf (those kids are STUBBORN and also want to support their friend) so I guess we're going with no vbs ever land. which should be fun. (lying I am shaking)
