helloooo!! this is one HEFTY post; but as the haikyuu manga is ending pretty soon, i thought i might as well post my thoughts on oihina’s interactions in canon :)

1)

so essentially, when you consider oikawa’s introduction at the beginning of the series, he’s sorta imposed on us as KAGEYAMAS challenge — the old senpai current rival, as well as someone that karasuno needs to beat, as well as someone who desperately wants to beat kageyama whether to prove his own self worth or for other reasons

not only is oikawa presented as this challenge to kageyama, hes also shown as, at that point, the most challenging opponent they have faced/have yet to face. aoba josai, and moreso oikawa is this big wall and karasuno needs to overcome him.

first of all you have the facet that hinata is kageyamas partner—so naturally oikawa takes immediate interest in him.

during the first karasuno seijoh practice match, at the end of the game, hinata deliberately spikes the ball next to oikawa in a show that YUH im a person and also in retaliation for oikawa aiming his serves to tsukki. by doing this it effectively raised oikawas interest like 📈 (bc what audacity to challenge him directly...)

now you have the confrontation outside of seijoh where sure oikawa proposes the setter v setter duel to kageyama

but he also compliments hinatas broad cross at the end — and it was a genuine compliment

also towards the end of the seijoh match — where everyone is likr aaaHHHh oikawa is like WOW at hinatas jump.

2)

when it comes to oihina past tje first practice match there is. admittedly. not much ... then u have TOURNAMENTS WHOAAA

during the tournaments during karasunos match with tokonami, you have dateko first seeing the quick, AND you have seijoh spectating karasuno from the sidelines.

oikawa watches them play, feigns uninterest in the team (read: kageyama) and then. when hinata spikes this man goes down a whole ROW of seats to watch

oikawa at asahi’s spike vs hinata’s spike

obviously theres this sense of yes, i’m going to beat him—but on top of that regarding oihina theres always been this sense of mutual admiration for each other.

what with hinata always being like wow the grand king is amazing!!! and oikawa just being generally amazed by hinata’s ability.

they both have kageyama as a central piece of their narratives as well.

but oikawa is an example of an unhealthy rivarly and relationship and hinata is an example of a partnership and healthy rivarly and competitiveness.

now if you look further into it, u see that oikawa and hinata have even more similarities.

oikawa and hinata, once again, center around kageyama, and theyre similar in this way: both of them feel inferior to him. this is prevalent in oikawa’s character especially—it being a driving force for his relationship with karasuno. with hinata, its less of outright “im not as good as him” like the blase declarations oikawa makes BUT rather a sense of “hes always ahead of me. im might not be able to catch up” (however, hinata has a much clearer head when it comes to that sort of thing—due to his sheer willpower and determination)

general feelings of inadequacy are keystones of their characters.

3)

ok you have after hinata and kageyamas argument, where kageyama goes to oikawa for help.

and oikawa says something along the lines of “the shrimp is the one at the center of the attack—not you”.

now this is SO important because why oikawa???? where everyone disagreed w hinata, heres this opponent who wants nothing more than to defeat kageyama or ushiwaka, validating what hinata said. the first reason for this, i think, is the respect that oikawa has built up for hinata, watching him improve and play and likely seeing some of himself inside him.

one of the best oihina lines we have bro ;-; theres more i could say about it but that basically sums it up

ok during the spring qualifiers during the seijoh match there isn’t TOO much prominent oihina interaction however there is still that sense of mutual admiration that is just. there. though that match is mostly OIKAWA KAGEYAMA AHHHHHHHH

moving to season 3:

you have an oikawa who’s lost who’s now spectating the finals that he cant attend—and at the end he says “no wonder he (hinata) has tobio-chan wrapped around his finger. [...] in the end, chibi-chan is a spiker you end up wanting to toss to”

now. THIS. is important as well because it a) implies that oikawa wants to set for hinata (and why wouldnt he?? oikawa is all about bringing the best out of people—whats different here—especially w this small monster) and b) he recognizes the fucking pull of hinata, the one that the miya twins recognize too and label as terrifying

heres the fun part: people in haikyuu respect kageyama and hinata as a partnership, as this freak duo on the court—people respect kageyama in his own right, as a setter. oikawa does something else—he has this respect for hinata, and hinata ALONE. not the duo, not kageyama. just hinata. and that sense of individual respect and admiration is so interesting & and explorable.

4)

manga spoilers ahead!!

hinata and oikawa have an interaction later on in the manga, during the timeskip arc. for preface/context: they run into each other by chance during hinata’s time in brazil, and now they have a week to spend together. during this time, a lot of things happen.

so going over it as least analyssisey as possible for now this happens:

- they meet

- they take a selfie

- hinata immediately asks to play volleyball w oikawa

- hinatas stomach growlss. oikawa says “show me the good places around here” hinata says he lost da wallet. oikawa OFFERS TO PAY.

- dinner date

- hinata: you know, before i saw you, i was actually feeling kind of sad and lonely. but seeing you has made me super super happy!

- they play volleyball together

- oikawa: ...then treat me to lunch next time

through volleyball with hinata, hinata helps oikawa remember that volleyball is fun again

“it reminds me that volleyball is fun” <oikawa laughing>

then when they part ways, oikawa calls hinata shoyo (which ill get to) and then oikawa leaves (and says he’ll beat everyone but thats a whole different thing)

now thats just what HAPPENED.

first of all, hinata and oikawas personalities mesh super well together, and they immediately take a selfie. disregarding past rivalries—theyre FRIENDS now—and OIKAWA SAN CAN I GET UR CONTACT INFORMATION P L E A S E

they decide to play volleyball—this interacts and in a way completes the quote where oikawa says hinata is a spiker you’d want to toss to bc oikawa finally gets to toss for him.

the way that oikawa acts around hinata is interesting bc we KNOW this man is petty and holds grudges—so to see him not feel that? over a player that was heavily responsible for the ending of his high school career?? the respect and admiration that he has for hinata in his singularity is coming through here.

next up we have the whole thing where oikawa pushes himself to the point that he forgets volleyball is fun. hinata is this refreshing presence to him and through their shared experience with volleyball, helped him see that volleyball is fun again. HE HELPED HIM SEE VOLLEYBALL WAS FUN AGAIN.

while also flashing back to his whole childhood. which is yk. significant

NOW for the last main point i have to say is the BIG IMPORTANCE of oikawa calling hinata SHOYO

WHO does he call by their first name???? NO ONE. certainly not iwaizumi, not kageyama, not kunimi or kyoutani or sugawara. by calling hinata SHOYO its this sign of HUGE respect and admiration and GRATEFULNESS for the joy that hinatas returned to him

the last thing i really have to say here is that their interactions during this particular part of the manga were just TOO flirty to ignore, as well

their fluffy less analysis parts are just clear to the eye—they had so much fun together!!!

5)

now when looking at hinata’s side of the relationship for oihina the first thing that you see is obviously AHHHH GRAND KING terrified-ness

however there is. a lot more to be said on hinatas side

first up, this bitch directly aimed a spike right next to oikawa during the practice match. he knows theres some emotional impact there hes not DUMB—also. the audacity.

on top of the fear there is immense admiration

this is KAGEYAMAS senpai right???? he must be AMAZING. hinata looks up to “the grand king” a LOT and recognizes his strengths as a player

so we have admiration and fear, sure, but what else??

hinata is one of the most emotionally intelligent characters in haikyuu, knowing peoples emotional cues and when theyre upset (ie running yachi to her mom, staying on the quieter side with aone because hes a quieter person)

if you put him near sakusa, he’d definitely respect all of sakusa boundaries

so when you consider the fact that hinata Knows people, and hinatas knows kageyama and hinata knows that oikawa was kageyamas senpai

and seeing how oikawa IS around kageyama

its likely that he can tell that they werent on ... the best of terms

so considering that, we cycle back to a pivotal aspect of their characters; kageyama and inadequacy

he knows what it feels like to be LESSER. thats his character. and he can probably see that on oikawas side too—thats why he aimed a spike at this mf

and so for hinata and oikawa to see themselves in each other; and for their storylines to revolve so similarly and differently around kageyama is also interesting

hinata sees the desire to beat kageyama in oikawa and oikawa sees the fear of falling behind or never being enough in hinata

tldr: mutual admiration, fear, respect, and inadequacy

referring to FEAR: this isnt something i mentioned much about but

hinata is scared of oikawa DUH

but oikawa has this fear as well. referring to hinata as a monster, observing him never being sure of what he’s going to do next. hinata is unpredictable and unprecedented and oikawa has fear of him too.

THATS ALL FOLKS!!! that is my take on the canon material of oihina we’ve been given :D apologies for any spelling mistakes <3
