it’s been a while since i’ve been a haikyuu fan, but i recently read the brazil and olympic arc of the manga and i love oikawa’s arc (playing pro in argentina!) so i redrew that one scene in the anime that made him relatable to a lot of fans :)

What do u think is Oikawa’s best and worst trait and how it translates to relationships?

oikawa is, in my personal opinion, one of the most complex characters in hq. i don’t think that's necessarily an unpopular thing to say but i wanted to preface everything else i write with that bc i’m sure other people will disagree with some of these which is totally fine because i think there are so, so many ways to interpret his character. i also wanted to preface this by saying i think my characterization of oikawa when writing him leans a bit towards the unpopular side of things, with good reason too as i’m 100 percent willing to admit i take a bit too many creative liberties with his character.

i believe oikawa’s best qualities are his tenacity, perseverance, and his ability to bring out the absolute best in others. and i think those would all translate so well in a relationship. his tenacity and perseverance would help with pushing through rough patches down the road in longer-term relationships where others might’ve completely fallen apart simply because he doesn’t want to give up, and he doesn’t think he should have to. he’s the type to dig his heels in instead of letting go and walking away, no matter the amount of work. oikawa’s ability to bring out the best in others is something thats brought up in the anime multiple times, and for good reason. it’s a powerful skill and one he wields exceedingly well and in a relationship that’d translate to the ultimate power couple and teamwork duo. he’d be the king of fair compromises and uplifting his s/o. of knowing the exact right thing to say and when to say it (that also ties in with his ability to read others).

the first thing that comes to mind when thinking about oikawa’s worst qualities is the rather obvious one: his pettiness, but i also think that ties into his overall ability to be decidedly cruel when he chooses to be. oikawa’s cruelty paired with his scary accurate way of picking out others' weak points would no doubt make him an absolute nightmare during fights. he has the ability to cut his s/o down with nothing but a few carefully crafted sentences and perfectly aimed jabs. i don’t even think he’d do it totally consciously either, he’s not actively trying to tear his s/o down, in fact if he threw out a few overly nasty words that happened to leave his s/o in tears i think he’d panic and immediately backtrack. he falls back onto his cruelty as a defense mechanism, like a cornered animal lashing out. it’s a fear response that his s/o might leave him, that he’s just not good enough, more than anything else. it doesn’t mean what he says wouldn’t hurt like hell though.

i’m sorry if this was overly long or too much rambling, i just love talking about oikawa.
