Further Proof Oikawa is a badass and not a whiny bitch like SOME PEOPLE say.
well guys here’s another essay by yours truly. My weekly oikawa defense post. Honestly how much deeper can I dig myself into this oikawa defense hole. Where do I come up with it. Who knows.
So in Chapter 97 of the manga, we see this panel below. Now at the time we don’t necessarily know what kindaichi and kunimi are referring to. You can maybe assume, at the time, it was about Kyotani joining the team. They can be referring to many things though, because Oikawa is in fact excessive.
And then when we get to chapter 372 we see the completed panel:
This occurs BEFORE THE KARASUNO MATCH. Oikawa already had a path. He already knew what he was going to do. Granted he still definitely wanted to make it to nationals but regardless of the win or not he had a plan, a goal.
There was no doubt in his mind that he couldn’t accomplish his goals with enough work. REGARDLESS OF THE OUTCOME OF THE TOURNAMENT.
When he spoke to Ushijima after the game he already knows what he’s going to do. He’s not talking out of his ass when he says that his volleyball career is far from over. He’s not bullshitting when he says “This insignificant pride of mine… you better remember it” Because at this point he already KNOWS he’s going to Argentina to train. And I am assuming with José Blanco, since we see the speech from Blanco earlier during the match.
Which is already pretty badass. Like he’s already commited to flying across the world to pursue his dreams. And as someone who has left home and lived across the country to get shit done, this does in fact take some nerve. TO leave your family and friends and go somewhere, where you know absolutely no one. It’s even worse when you go to a DIFFERENT COUNTRY.
When you first see this scene you don’t know all the plans oikawa already has in place. HERE he definitely can be interpreted as being stubborn and prideful. Someone who didn’t learn from his mistakes. And at this point Ushijima probably thinks that Oikawa is going to keep “walking the side roads and fucking up” but Oikawa is already on the path of proving them wrong. He’s already trying. Before the match, before this conversation Oikawa already had a route and the confidence to keep moving forward.
Which makes this scene with Iwaizumi even more insane. He knew Oikawa was already flying across the world at this point. AND HE WANTED TO TAKE OIKAWA TO NATIONALS BEFORE THEN. As an Ace he’s was hoping to get them there at least once because after this Iwaizumi was going to college and Oikawa was leaving the country. HE ALREADY KNEW THAT THIS WAS THEIR LAST GAME TOGETHER. Because they don’t attend college together.
And it makes this scene even more special. Because Iwaizumi isn’t talking out of his ass either. He knows Oikawa is leaving. And he’s basically telling him wherever you end up to - “Keep kicking ass. Keep being amazing and I’ll see you when we meet again. “
Remember guys no matter which path you take in life you’ll get there eventually with enough hard work. And as you can see I am still in love with Oikawa.
💙💙Also look at how cute and proud everyone looks.💙
Kageyama is like fuck me he’s here. How is it possible I’m still dealing with his ass.
Ushijima with his cute smile like ah yes Tooru you proved me wrong. How could I have ever of doubted you.*sweats nervously*
Iwaizumi looking so happy like “You complete fucking idiot, I knew you could do it. But my carefully trained team is still going to kick your ass”
Anyways what should my next oikawa defense post be about.
