Sakuya: Tomorrow’s the screening party for “Magicians’ Pure Love”, right? That’s exciting, Masumi-kun!

Masumi: You’re not appearing though.

Chikage: Haha. I feel like we had a similar conversation before the last screening party.

Citron: I am looking forward to it too~. At tomorrow’s talk show, Masumi will have everyone exploding in laughter!

Masumi: That’s not going to happen.

Tsuzuru: But you did put some thought into the conversation topics, right?

Masumi: Not really.

Tsuzuru: Uh huh, not really… Well then, Itaru-san, Chikage-san. Have you two thought about it?

Itaru: A little. He's got a big storm coming tomorrow.

Chikage: I’m sure Masumi will do his best regardless.

Tsuzuru: Well, I can’t deny Masumi will make it work somehow. Just like last time…

*door opens*

Masumi: …! Director…

Izumi: Oh. Everyone from Spring troupe is here. Were you guys having a meeting about tomorrow?

Citron: That is right! But Tsuzuru is a little worried~.

Tsuzuru: Nah, I’m not that pressed about it. I just remember how I felt a bit nervous during the screening party for “Alice”.

Izumi: Right, that rings a bell. I’m sure this time will be fine though. Right, Masumi-kun?

Masumi: Yeah. I’m going to work hard tomorrow, so make sure you watch me.

Izumi: Fufu. I can’t wait to see your magic tricks. Tomorrow is sure to be jam-packed, so remember to head to bed early tonight.

Masumi: You got it.

Chikage: I look forward to working with you as well, Director-san.

Izumi: Thanks, same here. Alright, see you guys tomorrow!

Sakuya: Oh, Masumi-kun was planning to do magic tricks at his talk show tomorrow!

Citron: It will definitely be exciting if he does~!

Tsuzuru: Why didn't you tell us you decided to do magic tricks?

Masumi: You only asked me about the conversation topics.

Tsuzuru: *Sigh*, I walked into that one. Well, in any case, do your best tomorrow.

Masumi: I was going to even if you didn’t tell me to.

-pause-

Masumi: Like this, and then… Lead their gaze over here, and…

Chikage: Spot on. Well done. Now we just have to wait for Director-san to come over.

*door opens*

Izumi: The screening is almost finished. Is everyone ready?

Chikage: Speak of the devil.

Izumi: Huh? Me…?

Masumi: …Thank you for waiting. You're our very first guest of honour for today's magic show. First, please, keep your eye on this rose here.

Izumi: (Masumi-kun is plucking the petals off the red rose in his hand…)

Masumi: 3, 2, 1…

Izumi: Woah, it turned into a bouquet of white roses!

Masumi: Here you go. This bouquet is a present for you.

Izumi: Fufu, thank you. It looks like your magic rehearsal went perfectly. I’m sure the guests are going to love it.

Masumi: I’m glad if you say so…

Itaru: …I thought Masumi was cramming ‘til the last minute to practice his magic tricks, but he was actually preparing that?

Chikage: Indeed, he was. Moreover, that was a special new trick just for Director-san. It’s completely different from the one he’ll be performing in the talk show.

Itaru: Masumi will be Masumi, alright.

-pause-

Itaru: …Alrighty, please give a huge round of applause to Masumi and his wonderful magic show!

*applause*

Guest A: Incredible! So many cards were flying from his hands!

Guest B: Masumi-kun’s just like a pro magician!

Masumi: That magic trick just now wasn’t that hard.

Chikage: It might not have been that difficult, but I think that’s the result of all your efforts practicing it over and over again until you mastered it.

Itaru: I felt this back when we were doing “Magicians’ Pure Love”, but Masumi actually has mad skills when it comes to magic, huh?

Chikage: He picks it up fast since he’s good with his hands.

Masumi: …But there was one time I almost messed up my trick during the play.

Chikage: Ah, right. That happened. However, I doubt the audience members noticed. Masumi brushed over it well with his improvisation.

Masumi: You and Itaru backed me up too.

Itaru: It’s really rare for you to mess up during a show though.

Masumi: True. I don’t think I’ve made that many mistakes up to this point.

Chikage: That just goes to how show you put your utmost effort into that performance, wouldn't you say?

Masumi: …I guess so.

Chikage: That reminds me… back then, all of us in Spring troupe were discussing how we’d support Masumi so he could go all out.

Itaru: Riiight, we did talk about that.

Masumi: It’s not like I asked you to or anything.

Itaru: Haha. Aww, Masumi’s just too cute when he can’t be honest. Isn’t that right, everyone?

Audience: THE CUTEST!

Masumi: Stop talking…

I love the Land vs Air OVA with all my heart but i'm so upset that they cut most of Tora's arc from the manga. Obviousy he and Tanaka have very similar storylines with both of them being taunted by the other team/doubted as the ace but Tora's comes from the interesting perspective of the ace on a team known for it's defense. Nekoma is typically seen by their opponents as more of a unit than individual players so Tora already doesn't stand out as much as other aces. Then there's the added pressure of him being one of the few second-year aces in the series. He's got a lot to prove and playing against a tricky team like Nohebi is a great way to put that to the test.

At one point he gets overshadowed by Lev, who definetly aligns with what an ace is expected to be. He's taller, his reach is insane, his spikes are strong (when they actually make it over the net lol), and he stands out to the crowd. Then Nohebi starts targeting Tora with serves and he gets even less chances to hit. But instead of being spiteful towards Lev or falling for Nohebi's provocations Tora knows that getting the ball up is just as important as scoring points.

Even on a team like Nekoma where everyone's a fantastic reciever Tora's really kills it! He's super consistent with good aim, and when your setter's as picky as Kenma that's important. Also he's good with both underhand and overhand recieves Again, it's a similar situation to Tanaka's arc with the other team aiming their serves at him to break his spirit but I think it has it's own charm. One thing I like about Tora in general is that he's always shown a lot of admiration for recieving even if it's not the flashiest skill on the court. Think the first-year flashback when one of the first things he did was admire Yaku's perfect A-pass. Guess that's par for the course for any Nekoma player.

Then there's the moment where he bumps Lev's failed blocked and immediately goes in for the spike, AND HE LANDS IT. After all his patience he finally gets to redeem himself ughhh.

Overall I love how these few chapters show that there's more to being an ace than amazing spikes. It's consistency, it's being an amazing all-around player, it's being a reliable teammate and coming back strong when your underclassmen need you. This mini arc is a great showcase of Tora's mental fortitude— despite his looks and short-temper he's great under pressure.

This whole page is golden. From Akane's adorable little reaction to the Kenma/Tora high five to Tora immediately ruining the moment. He's so annoying.

also this panel :')

ALSO Fukutora crumb cause you know me. Anyways I love Tora Haikyuu, thanks for coming to my TedTalk.

I've had very minor interactions with the AMC's Interview With The Vampire fandom since starting the show last week and so far it seems that the Venn diagram of people simping for Lestat and people simping for Spike from Buffy is a circle. We truly have learnt nothing and I think that's beautiful.

Anybody else got teary at Thomas' last insta post about visiting der Bomber's statue? Because I full on sobbed. The love he has for this club is blinding, beautiful and pure.

They say no player is bigger than the club but goddammit, does Thomas come close for me. After all, he IS the bayern spirit embodied ♡
