Rio-Haikyuu Guidebook: A compilation of some of the places Hinata Shoyo visited in Brazil + locations explained 🇧🇷 🧶

🖇️: Read the full doc here!!!

I created this to share more of my love for haikyuu and show off how Furudate-sensei represented Brazilian culture so beautifully along with Shoyo’s growth. I want more fans around the world to fall in love with our country & have a beautiful experience here, just like Shoyo ☺️🫶

1. Christ the Redeemer

📍 Estação Cosme Velho - Rua Cosme Velho, 513

This adress is to go by train. You can access the Trem do Corcovado website to buy your ticket or get it at the station itself, or the Paineiras Corcovado website to go by van :))

2. Aterro e Praia do Flamengo

📍 Praia do Flamengo - Flamengo, Rio de Janeiro - RJ, 22210-065

Posto 3 - (the beaches are always divided into sections called 'Postos')

It's where Shoyo and Oikawa met when Shoyo was homesick, and it's also where he meditates every morning.

3. Rua Senhor dos Passos, Centro (Saara)

📍 Rua Sr. dos Passos, 42 - Centro, Rio de Janeiro - RJ, 20061-013

It's an open-air shopping complex where Shoyo gets lost making deliveries. If you're looking for souvenirs for your trip, this is the best and cheapest place to buy them

4. Praia de Ipanema (Morro Dois Irmãos)

📍 Av. Vieira Souto - Ipanema, Rio de Janeiro - RJ, 22420-002

Posto 8

This iconic art of Ninja Shoyo has the Morro Dois Irmãos in the background, which boasts spectacular views from Ipanema and Leblon beaches.

5. Aeroporto Internacional Tom Jobim (Galeão)

📍 Avenida Vinte de Janeiro, Bairro Galeão - Ilha do Governador

If you're coming from another country, you'll land at Antonio Carlos Jobim International Airport, where Shoyo arrived and departed, in front of a gift shop :))

6. Bar do Belmonte

📍 Av. Mem de Sá, 82 - Lapa, 20230-152

Belmonte is a large chain of restaurants and bars that has become famous for its petiscos (snacks from bars in Brazil), and it's where Shoyo watched Kageyama play in the 2016 Rio Summer Olympics.

That's the end for now ^-^ ask me if you have any questions about these places and i'll do my best to help. Brazilians are very warm and welcoming, and I'm sure you'll feel welcomed if you come visit us ᕙ(`▿´)ᕗ🧡🧡🧡

Here's my gift to true MetalGearSolid fans: a full scan of "Metal Gear Solid The Twin Snakes Survival Guide In The Darkness of Shadow Moses", published in Japan in 2004. It is one of the most unique videogame guidebooks ever created. See more of this post to find out why.

METAL GEAR SOLID THE TWIN SNAKESSurvival Guide: In The Darkness Of Shadow MosesTranslation of final book chapter containing a conversation b

This book comes in an unusually narrow format which made it particularly difficult to scan, namely due to the miniscule page margins. If someone is able to achieve better results with a flatbed scanner, they have my instant respect.

The second and perhaps the most remarkable aspect of all is that this guidebook to the Gamecube remake of Metal Gear Solid was edited by Kazutoshi Iida, the game designer behind Doshin The Giant, Tail of the Sun and Aquanaut's Holiday.

The book includes interviews with military advisor Motosada Mouri, real-time demo director Ryuhei Kitamura, developer Dennis Dyack, as well as a conversation between Iida and Kojima that I have translated recently:

It also includes a very unique biography of Hideo Kojima which is provocatively illustrated with CT scans that he performed at Roppongi Hills clinic. Yes, these are actual scans of Kojima's brain.

If anyone is interested in taking on the task of translating this book to English, I can provide higher quality scans of the material.

What books would Leon read?

I love that I got my buddy @sleepdepr-fox into Resident Evil because now we can talk and make up all sorts of stupid things. This is an example.

Leon has a lot of random skills that regular cops would never have. So here's some ideas for guide books on his shelf:

How to combine C4 with morse code so no one can defuse the bomb

Singles Guide - 365 Pick-Up lines that will make your future girlfriend drop her jaw

How to disconnect two train carriages from each other

Before becoming a famous comedian, actor, and writer, Steve Martin spent his teenage years working at Disneyland in the late 1950s and early 1960s. From age 10 to 18, he worked there after school, on weekends, and during summer breaks. He started by selling guidebooks at the entrance, just a few months after Disneyland opened in 1955, and later sold souvenir spinning lassos in Frontierland. “The ropes were hard to sell,” Martin recalled. “I had to wear a Western costume—cowboy shirt, hat. I even did a little of that in Three Amigos!”

Soon after, Martin landed a more exciting role at Merlin’s Magic Shop in Fantasyland, where his love for magic truly found a home. Performing sleight-of-hand tricks for guests helped him hone both his magical skills and comedic timing. Daily interaction with visitors allowed him to develop the showmanship and sense of humor that would later become essential to his entertainment career.

Martin also expanded his talents by learning to juggle and make balloon animals, refining his abilities as a performer. Disneyland provided him with a constant audience to practice in front of, shaping the entertainer he would become. He credited his time there as critical to developing the performance skills and comic timing that defined his career.

He learned juggling from Disneyland’s court jester, Christopher Fair, and was heavily influenced by Wally Boag, the headliner at the Golden Horseshoe. “Wally was the first live performer I ever saw. His style—fresh, sassy, and very clean—had a huge influence on my own comic timing,” Martin said.

Steve also worked with a woman from the South whose favorite saying was “Well, excuse me for living.” Martin later shortened it to the famous, “Well, excuuuuuuse me!” which became a cultural catchphrase.
