"Can't even drink on your own now, Ushiwaka ?" 🍾

[pentapoxie]

it’s canon ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Other Haikyuu Fans: "Kagehina is better because X!" "No, Atsuhina is better because Y!" "Bullshit, neither of them is good, is better Kenhina!" "There are better ships in Haikyuu like IwaOi and Daisuga!" "I don't like IwaOi, I prefer BokuAka!" And more...

Me, who literally ships those ships, the most popular Haikyuu ships, and also a lot of rare pairs: Umm- okay :D

Ushijima-Oikawa parallels with Kageyama-Hinata

To me, Ushijima and Oikawa are like a tragic parallel to Hinata and Kageyama. If Oikawa had gone to Shiratorizawa then he and Ushijima could've had the partnership that Kagehina had. But because he didn't, they will never know what it's like to make the other feel invincible.

Shipping goggles aside, the parallels have to be intentional (haikyuu is too well-written for it to be just a coincidence): Both Ushijima and Kageyama were framed as naturally gifted volleyball monsters. Meanwhile Oikawa and Hinata believed that they were just average (even though the people around them know that they have their own strengths). Ushijima was the one who kept winning against Oikawa, just like how Kageyama was always ahead of Hinata. Both Hinata and Oikawa went abroad to gain experience so they could finally beat their rival. Ushijima and Kageyama are both awkward, intimidating, and ASD-coded while Hinata and Oikawa are framed as easy-going extroverted chatterboxes. These pairs are literally so similar it's crazy. Look at them and tell me it's not intentional

It also makes sense when you consider that their playstyles are also complementary. Kageyama and Hinata were a good match for each other because Hinata needed Kageyama's precision and Kageyama needed someone agile to match his own speed. But Ushijima's only requirement is for the ball to be set high and the right distance from the net so it's easy to hit. And which setter is known for dedicating themselves to their spikers, giving them easy sets? Oikawa. They truly could've been a terrifying duo.

I think Furudate was trying to show what Kageyama and Hinata could've been if they didn't team up. They'd still be strong, sure, but not invincible like they were in Karasuno. (as opposed to the Miya twins, who were supposed to show what they could've been like if they had an equal from the very beginning)

But in the end it all worked out for everyone! They all got to play on the world stage together. Ushijima and Oikawa even had their reconciliation at the all stars match (still waiting on the Oikawa-Kageyama reconciliation please please please 👀). They're all happy so I suppose it isn't actually tragic. I just cant help but wonder what could have been if Ushijima and Oikawa learned what it's like to be each other's greatest ally. Hinata and Kageyama were so lucky to have found each other after all.

They are very "good friends"

Shiratorizawa's obsession.

Shiratorizawa's captain's obsession over Seijoh's is well known, but what about the Middle Blockers? Based on an official art (in the 2nd pic).

[kimbapisnotsushi]

thinking about how funny it’d be if dating rumors popped up for every single member of the jp national team ABOUT every other member of the jp national team. like "hey i heard hoshiumi was dating hinata who's dating hyakuzawa who's dating kageyama who's dating sakusa" and on and on and on and nobody is really sure what's true and what isn't?? like. it's just so hard to tell???? fans snap a pic of yaku and bokuto out together on what COULD be a dinner date bc they look like they're holding hands but others insist that possibly CAN'T be true bc bokuto was seen with ushijima wakatoshi who was SMILING and "when was the last time you saw ushijima smiling like that?" so obviously bokuto and ushijima must be the ones dating.

and then oikawa tooru, setter for argentina's national team, posts a picture of himself with ushijima cuddling on the beach and everyone goes batshit wild

[haikyuu-tmblr]

Ushijima: *minding his own business* Oikawa: I don't like the way you breathe... You should stop. Ushijima: ??

[nakataseigis]

ushioi nation…. let’s thank furudate for what he did for us

[ignifex]

“You are not my boyfriend,” he hissed at Ushijima. “Stop acting like you are! People are going to notice!”

ushioi is like one-sided hate vs one-sided admiration. oikawa hates ushijima's guts and want to defeat him while ushijima really does think highly of oikawa and holds him in high regard. i think watching them fall in love would be cute because oikawa would be like "no! this cant be happening!!!" and ushijima would be like "this is nice." oikawa is having a crisis because hes falling for his rival. ushijima is doing great because the person he likes returns his feelings. thats romcom material right there.

[iinoruu]

“look at the state of yours, ushiwaka... you are so out of it." 🥂

[afterthelambs]

Oikawa's one track mind for Ushijima is unmatched. He wants to kiss him soooo bad
