Review 2021 Kuromyu ā Namashitsuji Secrets of the Public School Arc
Disclaimer: This is not an unbiased review so please proceed knowing that it is heavily opinionated.
2nd Disclaimer: I have never seen the anime or read the manga of Black Butler. All of my thoughts are based on comparisons to previous musicals and comments from fans about how accurate their portrayal is. I understand this may turn some people off my review which is understandable but I think an important thing for shows is how accessible they can be for people who donāt know the source material.
Ā FREE OF SPOILERS
Overall rating: 8/10
Ā Acting ā 8/10
Music ā 8/10 (I took an average of my song scores)
Ease of understanding ā 8/10
Direction ā 7/10
Ā Overall Summary:
I think the show was excellent and showed respect to the old shows but also did quite a few new things. All the scenes and songs had clear thought put into them and the acting showcased these things very well. It was not quite like what I expected it was going to be like but now that Iāve seen it, I canāt quite think of what I expected. I think if you like 2.5D or if you like Black Butler or the actors in this show then you will enjoy the show quite a lot. It is not exactly the same as before from every standpoint apart from it being Black Butler so I would say donāt go in expecting it to be just the same.
Ā I will move to a spoiler review under the cut but plainly, this show is very good and I think all the actors did a great job.
As I normally do I am going to give my thoughts on story, acting, songs and directing, then mention some extra stuff that I might think of at the end. I am sorry if I bring up the fact that Iām British and went to boarding school like my parents too much.
Story: The story was mostly pretty easy for me to follow, especially as a British person who knows about Cricket and boarding schools. I havenāt seen Campania so the dolls confused me a little at first but that is completely on me for not having seen the previous show. When watching I was very confused about what was going on towards the end but looking back on it that was mainly because of my migraine and not because it wasnāt clear. Scenes were set out well and the camera work was done in a way to make it very easy to follow along. But omg the cricket made me a little upset. It was super fun and all. But it was so inaccurate XD. I guess I now know the pain of people who like tennis when they watch the Prince of Tennis.
Acting: I am going to go actor by actor and give a rough overview of what I thought of them
Tateishi Toshiki as Sebastian Michaelis
I felt like we didnāt get a terribly demonic Sebastian in this show but otherwise I loved Toshi as Sebastian. He felt very elegant and reserved most of the time which contrast well with the times in which he was annoyed at Ciel. He wasnāt terribly present in a lot of the show but I did really enjoy him when he was on stage. His singing voice is excellent and I loved hearing him sing, will go into more about it later during the song summaries.
Konishi Eito as Ciel Phantomhive
I thought Eito was amazing as Ciel and he is my favourite Ciel so far. He showed Cielās switch between cute and normal so well and it really made me think about how good of an actor Ciel is. I donāt know how he did what he did to his voice but he makes himself sound like a young child with a slightly higher and scrapey voice than normal and it really makes you think that he is very young. I know many people were worried that they were casting an adult as Ciel because they wanted to sexualise him and this was not the case at all. He only showed any skin in the very first scene when in the cage and he had the sheet/robe-thing showing his shoulder. His singing voice is quite a lot mature than the previous two Ciels, for obvious reasons, and I think it really helped me enjoy his songs.
Okayama Ryousuke as Soma Asman Kadar
While I would still say I prefer Shoās Soma, mainly bc Sho is one of my fav actors and I am biased, I really liked Ryousukeās Soma. He was super energetic and friendly and really gave off this air of innocence as he believes Cielās reasoning for him to join Weston. His cricket was also very fun. His singing was pretty okay. I think this was as his singing suffered when he was trying to sing in Somaās voice.
Ueda Kandai as Undertaker
I was honestly quite surprised how good Kandai was as Undertaker. I think his Undertaker voice got better as the show went on so I assume the reason it was less good at first was nerves. He wasnāt in it too much but I thoroughly enjoyed him in every scene he was in. I think I would love it if he learnt to sing in his Undertaker voice more but I also understand that is quite difficult so understand why heās not doing that.
Sana Hiroki as Edgar Redmond
I thought he was very good as Edgar and carried the emotion needed for the more serious scenes, like the flashback about Derek, very well. He definitely emphasised the queerness of Edgar and had some rather flirtatious moments with Maurice and Joanne. However, despite being flirty and not seeming to be very serious, I completely bought it when he became serious and he played the shift very well (such as in the Maurice reveal scene). His singing voice is good.
Tazuru Shogo as Herman Greenhill
I thought Shogo was really good as Herman, even if it did feel like him playing a slightly nicer version of Sanada ā his character from Prince of tennis. He was my 2nd fav of the four and I always enjoyed watching him in his scenes. He played the emotion in the Derek flashback amazingly and you could really see the pain in his eyes when he realised what he had done. His voice was really perfect for Herman.
Satonaka Masamichi as Lawrence Bluewer
I really loved Masa as Lawrence. I donāt know how accurate it is as he didnāt seem very sweet from what I read on his wiki page, but his Lawrence seemed quite tsundere. I loved his bit in the Cricket match when he was talking about wanting to win in his very last year. He also just seemed quite cute. I really enjoyed his singing.
Goto Dai as Gregory Violet
I LOVED Dai as Gregory. He definitely gave off the aura of being weird but he also seemed very sweet to Cheslock and the two actors had really good chemistry. He was really cute in his Cricket gear. He was by far my favourite of the prefects. Despite seeming cute and sweet to Cheslock he definitely retained the aura of mystery and you could never tell what he was thinking. His singing voice is pretty good but he didnāt have many solo bits.
Furuya Yamato as Clayton
While at the beginning I did get an intelligent stuck up vibe from Yamato as Clayton that kinda died away as the show went on and he became much more of a dork. I dunno how much of this is in character but to me it felt slightly like Yamato playing himself. As I think Yamato is an excellent actor, I was a little bit disappointed to see his character change quite a bit but I donāt know how much was him and how much was the direction. Since Yamato is known for comedy and his adlibbing I wouldnāt be surprised if this was actually just direction and the route they decided to go down for this character, hence why they scouted Yamato. I know his singing voice may not appeal to everyone, but I really like it.
Nakajima Takuto as Edward Midford
Takuto was very good as Edward and I think he played his straightforwardness quite well. I love Takuto but I donāt think Edward had much to do apart from the cricket which Takuto did very well. His singing voice is excellent.
Warning: Tsukasa is my favourite actor, and I am very biased
Taguchi Tsukasa as Maurice Cole
Tsukasa was AMAZING as Maurice. He played the changes in his character so well and even though heās not a very nice person I felt really bad for him during his breakdown as Tsukasaās scream was heart wrenching. When he was pretending, he felt so light and sweet and then when he was being his normal self he dropped down his voice and even changed his accent slightly as well as changing the way he would stand and walk. Ngl I was not paying too much attention to other people when he was in the scene and I donāt know if itās just because Iām biased or because his command of the stage is that good but I really felt his stage presence. I loved the way he repeated 2 Oāclock to Edgar and the others and how he mirrored the way he did it with Ciel and all the subtleties to his acting were great. He didnāt get to sing very much but he sounded really good.
Fukuzawa Yu as Cheslock
Apart from Tsukasa I think Yu was my favourite in this show. He brought so much energy to Cheslock and I donāt mean making the character energetic, just that he always has so much power and feeling behind his lines and he was so good and cool! He had good command of the stage and worked so well with Dai to be the one the stands out and the one that fades into the shadows. He mostly rapped so I donāt remember his singing voice very much.
Uchino Fuuto as Joanne Harcourt
Fuuto didnāt really stand out to me very much and I donāt think he had very much to do. His singing voice was pretty good.
Hayakawa Iori as Macmillan
He served his part in the story well and was very cute and energetic which I liked. He kinda reminded me of doll a little. His singing voice was pretty good.
Yamaguchi Kooki as Derek Arden
He wasnāt in very much of the show but he played his part very well and even though we got so little of him being unpleasant the way he played it made me hate Derek immediately. I donāt think he got any solo singing bits?
Takahashi Shunichi as Johann Agares
He filled his role very well. The most impressive thing was his falling from the stairs, I was very worried he was going to hurt himself, so I was really glad he was okay as he went from pretty high considering there were lower stairs. His singing voice was good.
Songs: I really love Yu(vague) the composer of the show and he is my favourite music composer. I think he did a really good job with the songs on the whole. I think he did well making them seem different and new yet familiar.
Opening song ā 7/10
I think this song was a good opener. I wasnāt too sure about it at first, but it got better as the song went on. Toshiās voice didnāt sound to be working with the song at first but since he sounded fine later, I think it was just his voice wavering at first from nerves so Iām excited to see what heās like in the last show. I like how they did short recaps of the previous shows from Lycoris to Campania so the fans are caught up on what has happened, especially since it becomes important when Undertaker comes back with the dolls at the end.
2nd song, I think itās called āItās perfect blackā ā 8/10
I really like this song. I think it is a nice scene setter and is very well sung by everyone. The dance works well and kinda brings Druittās dancing to mind with some of it. The song features the full cast and is effectively the Pawn and Sword song of this show.
Welcome to Weston song ā 10/10
My first 10/10 song. I really love this song and I already can sing along to it. I love the prefects singing and that the others sing the chorus for them. (Also partly love it for its reprise but Iāll get to that later) I love how rigid and together it sounds. By that I mean that everyone is singing their lines as quite cutting and the harmonies are very crisp. Everyone is perfectly in time and there is no deviation. The rigidness shows the formality and tradition of the school which is reinforced by the students marching around the stage to get to the places. This is the case for everyone except the prefects who have more flowy lines and they walk a lot more freely showing the schoolās hierarchy. I also love the prefects pushing Ciel around and surrounding him which foreshadows how he his treated.
Only Prefect Four ā 9/10
I might be slightly biased as a Mankai stage fan as this song sounds so like a Mankai stage song but I love it so much. It would be 10/10 but I think their harmonies at the end could be a bit tighter. I think the soft and flowery and upbeat music works really well after the last song. Kinda indicating that the prefects live in a different world to the rest of the school which kinda serves as storytelling so that later when theyāre so surprised by Derekās actions it makes sense as they feel kinda separate from everyone else and it makes sense that they wouldnāt know what was going on in the rest of the school. I also love how they each get their solo bits which tell you stuff about the characters. Edgarās dance is really reminiscent of Druitt which I really love. Hermanās music is a lot less flowy with a base note and the dance, using cricket bats, really gives off an image of strength. Lawrenceās mixes classical music into the instrumental and it has a more traditional feel. The dance involves a lot of stepping and stopping showing a formulaic approach rather than being flowy or strong. Gregoryās music has a grand feeling to it and it goes lower. Gregory doesnāt move much while Cheslock is doing some hip-hop dancing next to him. And instead of singing a solo section he talks about how he wants to go to bed.
Yes, my lord ā 10/10
My favourite song in this show. It shows Ciel being told to do things and him passing his chores to Sebastian and Sebastian getting more and more annoyed with him, even breaking and calling him a brat at one point. The upbeat tone is quite fun and it works really well as a montage song. I like how it goes from Ciel saying āYes, Clayton-senpaiā (senpai is a polite suffix for names of people who are higher up than you) to dropping senpai to just saying yes then turning to Sebastian. It really showcases brat Ciel.
Somaās song ā 10/10
His song is all about being Cielās friend and itās really cute and energetic. The outfits from Somaās song in Circus and brought back and it has a similar instrumental to his song there. He messes around a lot more in this song, though. Even though he is now much older than Sho was when he played Soma through this song he feels far more youthful through the more relaxed choreography and the energetic music.
Ominous prefect song ā 9/10
This song is so cool. I really like the sharp shapes being projected onto the back with lilac light and the softly ominous instrumentals. (it comes right after Edgar mentions āthe secret of what happened that dayā). The vice-principal walking around at the back is really interesting as it looks like he is monitoring them. And the other students walking around with lanterns gives the song an almost supernatural feel. And then Undertaker peeking out from the back at the end gives a more direct hint of what is going on.
Nightmare, opening reprise ā 8/10
This is just a reprise of the 1st song but I like it a bit better because it is shorter and the choreography of the cultists surrounding Cielās bed is really nice.
The Headmasterās decision ā 10/10
I like the fast pace of this song as Ciel runs around to ask about Derek and keeps just being told it was the headmasterās decision. The students moving and singing together, then encircling him reinforces Cielās feeling like thereās a secret that everyone knows but isnāt telling him. I also like the use of Derekās actor walking around the stage, always just beyond their sight from where they are.
Cricket song, last song of Act 1 ā 6/10
This song is good itās just not super enthralling. I think itās probably the weakest pre-interval song out of the Kuromyus. At the beginning Sebastian and Cielās mics got really quiet for some reason and the instrumental was a bit louder than them. Itās a nice gentle and weirdly happy and hopeful instrumental which is a bit at odds with the past two ominous songs and I canāt decide if I like that or not. Also, I think the harmonies are a bit off so hopefully that will be better by the final performance. A lot of the singers sound like they have tension in their voices so I think they were all pretty anxious for this song. I do like the song and it might go up a bit if they can get the harmonies in the final show because they got almost none of them in this show. (The one that they did get sounded really good though)
INTERVAL
Cricket tournament ā 9/10
While the previous song was also more upbeat than the ominous songs I donāt think it worked due to being directly afterwards, as the first song of Act 2 I quite like thatās itās more energetic as it gets you hyped for the 2nd Act. This is the song that some Tenimyu, Prince of tennis musical, fans are saying was inspired by Tenimyu. And I will say, it was 100% inspired by Tenimyu XD. Yana-sensei is a fan of Prince of tennis and Shogo, Hermanās actor, was cast in a role very similar to his Prince of tennis role then the Green Lion section literally has lines that are exactly the same as lines from the team Shogo was in. Also, the music during their bit is actually somewhat reminiscent of the music that team normally has.
[Yu(vague) is so good at changing types of music during songs ahh, the Green Lion to Scarlett Fox transition is just so good.]
Honestly, this song would be a 7 or 8 out of 10 without the Violet Wolf part bc omg that part slaps so hard. Gregory and Cheslock high-five and the music just switches to electronic disco music and they rap most of their bit. I love it so much.
Sapphire Owlās bit is cool too.
Scarlett vs Sapphire Cricket match ā 6/10
Itās pretty good. Solid song but isnāt too exciting. Somaās solo bit is really cute. Main thing letting it down is the āItās cricketā refrain that is in all three match songs. I was already done with it after like 30 seconds in this song and this song doesnāt have anything else lifting it above like the others do.
Violet vs Green Cricket match ā 8/10
Cricket match as a rap battle. I dunno why Violet House became a rap house but I love it and I love Cheslock rapping about his awesome pitch. Then he and Herman having a rap battle is just so fun. I donāt know if this is as fun to Black Butler fans who know the characters a lot better or whether it would be uncomfortable but I had a blast in this song.
Sapphire vs Green Cricket match ā 7/10
I really like the beginning instrumental and the short song bit at the very beginning of the song but the refrain hit again so it couldnāt go above a 7 for me.
Victory song ā 6/10
Not a bad song but I donāt think the harmonies were there for this one and so Iām excited to see it in the last show again and hear if they improve.
Weston Reprise ā 10/10
Oh my god I love this reprise so much. At first it sounds very like the original song then as the prefects slightly lose it as they realise what they have done it becomes more out of sync and the music quietens and it sounds more acapella and they sound slightly like theyāre losing it due to the horror of what has happened. And the scratchiness of Gregoryās voice making it sound like heās going to cry really reinforces that they are just children and they cannot deal with something like this.
Fight song ā 7/10
I love the Undertaker taking Ciel to the side and staring at him crazily and singing at him. Again, I could hear Toshiās nerves and I hope that he can sing the song better in the final show. I really love the Undertaker and Sebastianās duet though and I think their voices sound really good together and I love the blood refrain in the song.
Finale song ā 7/10
A pretty short but solid refrain of āItās Perfect Blackā
Direction: I thought the direction overall was pretty solid. There wasnāt anything really innovative attempted I donāt think but I didnāt really feel like there was anything lacking.
Overall: I really loved this show and look forward to seeing the final show and I think this show set up the new cast well for future shows.
Do I recommend buying the stream and DVD?
If you are a fan of 2.5D, any of these actors or Black Butler I really recommend trying to see this show. (The final show with be on 4th April on theatre-complex.jp and you can buy a ticket with just a vpn) While it is very different I feel like it was fairly faithful to its roots but is also trying to grow into something new.
Lastly: If you have any questions about the show, any parts, any songs or about any of the actors feel free to drop me an ask and letās talk about it!

The remakes w the most diverse casts seem to have the least international support: NL, AUS and Druck. Ik druck might seem like a strange inclusion, but it actually lags quite far behind wtfock and skam it (not including skam fr bc it easily has the largest pool of int'l fans and no skam IT bc there were calls to boycott it) by way of fan engagement. Even when wtfock and skam fr are at the their lowest, their int'l support is bigger. Is diversity not wanted? or do u think there's another reason?
This is a long rant.... just an fyi.
Ok so lets talk about the economy mill that is the SKAMverse and why some SKAMS do better and others do not. I don't know if you have ever read @dagcutie post about skamfr and how it sorta of ushered in youth targeted web series into french culture but yea it had some pretty interesting impact within french culture. Also before the Netflix purchase of Italia which now makes it the biggest money maker remake SkamFR was the first to have an original season so I think skamfr just ushered in a lot of change into the skamverse and sorta of blew up. Skam Italia probably has the best underdog story. Not only was it the first remake and houses the best Jonas remake in Gio they really fought intensely hard to get the Netflix deal through and for that they gained a ton of support from the skamverse. I donāt know if you know this but their cast was willing to work on s4 for free just to get it out. Ludo went on full rants defending his cast and crew from Timvision. Also I know this is personal taste but they are Skams that just have insane direction and Italiaās shots are mind-blowing my god I still gasp at the hot bath scene in s4 it was stunning. SkamNL was up there as well. Wtfock has pretty scenes but SkamIT is a whole other level concerningĀ cinematography. So diversity is weird because every country is different culturally. First lets discuss Skam Austin since am American. So this is a tricky one because facebook watch buying it was probably one of the worst thing that could have happened to Skam Austin as it became tied to the release of a new web product for Facebook. So even if Skam Austin did well if the product didn't do well it would get cut.Ā
Concerning viewership I have spoke about this before I think sometimes the international viewership says they want raw Americana but then they get surprised by how mundane non-metro city life can be for an American teen. Austin is a pretty small city, its liberal but still culturally Texan. Also generally speaking its really hard to get American viewers to connect to shows not set in one of the big US cities and lastly I dont think Austin got cancelled because of diversity because another fun fact that most non-American Skam fans dont know is that we sorta of already made a skamesque teen show based in Texas and its called Friday Night Lights and its basically considered a masterpiece and any teen show out of Texas will always be measured by that show. Its not a web series format but it was shot in a very raw gritty realistic way too. It touches on some of the same issues as Skam too and race is a huge part of the story too. Also I said this before the USA will remake Skam again so donāt worry about it. We love remaking remakes of a remake. Its like our thing but I think the biggest issue wasn't the cast for Austin but the location and also that it was tied to a web product release. SkamNL is simple they cancelled it because the network wanted to use the money for Eurovision. Druck wise, so..... let me tell you druck is HUGE the issue as why people don't hype it isnt because of Druck itself but some fandom political issues. There was a point in time that the Druckies sorta of went on a rampage just dragging other remakes they still do it now but they have def chilled out. They even said things like they hope Skam IT wouldn't be saved by Netflix. Like dude wtf..... It really alienated a ton of people from being part of the fandom that genuinely loves druck but has no interest in participating in the fandom. I am def one of those people I love druck. Matteo still haunts me and will go down as one of my fav isak and Nora so far and cash queens are incredible but i dont really want to participate in the fandom because it actually ruins druck for me and I know a ton of people that feel the same.

anonymous asked:Ā How would you feel about an Avatar AU? Iād love to see what element, or if a character is a non-bender, you feel would match your favourite characters in HQ!
oh-HO. i am unsure if you know that Avatar is one of my all-time favorite shows so when i saw this ask i was pumped!!! without further ado: i finally had some inspiration. i took this a bit farther than just my fav characters (i did as many as i could think of) and although i say in my rules i donāt do hcās i felt this ask was best answered in that format so i did my best! i hope you enjoy š im nervous as hell about headcanonsĀ š¬ some i have reasons for (serious or funny) and others i just...have a feelingĀ
special shoutout to my discord fam that i love so dearly and especially to @animelake13 and @justoverseas for helping me outĀ šš
Karasuno:
Daichi:
Alright with those thighs and that dependability?? Earthbender through and through
He is a rock solid, all-around player that holds Karasuno all together
he is their BASE, stable as fuck
he didnāt get those thighs from nothing he got them kicking around some boulders
didnt get those arms from nothing either, punching rocks out of mountainsides
Suga:
Waterbender for sure
Hello? Mr. Refreshing
Very calm and level-headed, but like Katara: DO NOT. FUCK WITH HIM.
Heāll fuck you up
again like Katara, mom friend, supporting the whole team, caring a lot about them and getting ready to fight and ready to jump in and help at a moments notice
Asahi: (Thanks Louie!)
ok so this boy was hard to decide bc, heās a nervous bean but also the motherfuckin ace so he aināt playin around
so i decided on earthbender because, heās a big boi; a powerful and all-around player that has the respect of his teammates
and although heās nervous, so maybe he doesnāt use earthbending to the extent of other benders but when he needs to, he will
and when he does it has impact and he is a pretty strong earthbender to boot
he can move fucking mountains when he wants to
member of the white lotus bc he only uses his immense power when he absolutely has to
noya: āasahi!! show us your bendingā
asahi: āoh im not much of a benderā
MOVES A CONTINENT
Noya:
While my first instinct was firebender
the more i thought about it the more airbender made sense
air is the element of freedom and Noya is the definition of wild and free
not only that but his position too! airbending is almost purely defensive
sounds like our guardian diety to me
also can u imagine
Noya and Hinata racing like maniacs on air scooters
Daichi throwing up barriers all over the place to stop them but they just nyoom around them like obstacles
airbending is all about circles too and roooooolllliiiinnnng (hehe) thunder!!!
Tanaka:
alrighty well here is Karasunoās firebender
Firebending is known for its intense and aggressive attacking style and literally
Tanaka yells like a maniac anytime he goes in for a spike
and firebenders can be hotheaded (dont have to be, Iroh for example) BUT say anything about Kiyoko, Karasuno or really anything and heās ready to throw down
it might be all talk but he still gets fucking triggered
he fires up two flames in his palms and makes that faceĀ āehhh what did you say about our lovely Kiyoko-san?!?ā
Enno:
airbender
he has such patience and probably mediates or somethingĀ
or else heād go crazy from Tanaka and Noya doing stupid airbender/firebender shit and burning down the entire townĀ
deals it out when he needs to, sometimes blowing Tanaka and Noya to opposite sides of the room and pinning them there until they calm the fuck down
anytime Tanaka gets too heated, Enno just shows up and blows out his fireĀ
Hinata:
ok so i kinda spoiled earlier
but airbender
i know airbending is defensive and Hinata sucks at that aspect, but his personality man, airbender all the way
again imagine him and Noya zooming on air scooters around
they would be a MENANCE
but also in the same sense, airbending is all about finding a way around the ānormalā way of fighting (they refuse to harm anything is what i mean)
Hinata had to find his own way of fighting in volleyball and yeahā¦airbender Ā
possibly bc heās a bit of an airhead too Ā
Kageyama:
WATERBENDER BUT WITH BLOODBENDING BACKGROUND
ok hear me out
he used to want to control people and make them do what he wants, otherwise get rid of them bc theyāre useless and who needs āem
but then he meets this stupid, bounce off the walls, airbender who he doesnāt need to control bc this kid already does what he couldnt find in anyone else
and he slowly learns to stop using bloodbending, sometimes slips and lapses, but for the most part has left that part of him behind
also water is the element of change and Kageyama certainly goes through a major change in character throughout Haikyuu
everytime Hina and him fight, they make a snowstorm that nobody can stop and it pisses Tsukki off bc he canāt do anything about it
Tsukki: (props to Lake for this one)
tsukki why are you an enigma
nonbender and is a sword masterĀ
with his ability to analyze and control, he would heckin destroyĀ
sword fights are a lot about watching your opponent and being able to make a quick decision to block or counter attackĀ
he can definitely make decisions at the drop of a hat and his strategiesĀ work and work wellĀ
Yamaguchi:
THIS BOY
IS A WATERBENDER BUT SPECIALIZES IN HEALING
when Karasuno needs him most!!! heās there!! ready to help and get his team back on his feet, in this sense by healing them
and also like Suga, mirroring Katara, donāt fuck with him. especially when it comes to Tsukki
AGAIN like Katara/Suga, mom friend, there to support all the time and bust in and help when needed
More teams under the cut!
Aoba Johsai:
Oikawa:
so thereās a bit of a trend here i see
but Oikawa would also be a waterbender, i guess itās a setter thing
water is the element of change and Oikawa adjusts his setting style and approach for each of his team members to bring out the best of them
waterbenders let their defense become their offense turning their opponents own forces against them which i think fits Oikawa to a T
can make ice spikes he can throw long distances with scary accurate precision
like, one can just zip past your ear, and you dont see him anywhere where tf is he?!
Iwaizumi:Ā
i couldnāt decide between firebender and earthbender
so i went with the lovely mix, lavabenderĀ
just like Toph, Iwa shows his affection through some sort of violence, but thats just cause he cares a lot
oikawa has mastered the art of distinguishing flaming hunks of smoldering rock thrown at his face
also stubborn unmoving like a rock
and when he gets heated, he is fired up
and finally, arms. where did he getĀ āem? throwing boulders around.Ā
Shiratorizawa:
Ushijima:
metalbender, bc heās definitely an earth bender but thereās something special about him
heās a little dense (ok maybe not a little)
Earthbenders are generally muscular, tough and direct AND HELLO. thats Ushijima in a nutshellĀ
Tendou:
our guess monster is definitely a non-bender
like ty lee specializes in chi-blockingĀ
he can disrupt someones chi pretty easily making them completely helplessĀ
sometimes he does it to be funnyĀ
like make Ushiās right arm useless for a dayĀ
and Ushi is likeĀ āTendou. I donāt use that arm anyways.āĀ
āi knoooooooow Wakatoshi thats the point!ā
which for some reason Tendou thinks is hilarious cause now he really cant use itĀ
Semi:
firebender
mainly bc of his hotheaded and competitive behaviorĀ
his desire to show his abilities in his words isĀ āuncontainableā and that kind of made me think of AzulaĀ
wants to show off and be the bestĀ
Shirabu:
so although Shirabu is also extremely hot-headed, he hits me as a waterbender tooĀ
maybe just because every single setter so far has been a waterbender but its just my gut feelingĀ š¤·
Nekoma:
Kuroo:
firebender but can lightning bend
dont ask me why it just seems right
he has the concentration and flow it takes to lightning bend, i mean he has that whole speech he gives to his team before every gameĀ
āWe're like the blood in our veins. We must flow without stopping. Keep the oxygen moving and your mind working.āĀ
and while this may lead to possibly thinking he could be a waterbender, he uses his knack for fluid motion and deceptive strength for a different purpose
not only can he lightning bend, he can redirect lightning which takes an immense amount of skill and is drawn from waterbending techniques
maybe its also the hair cause it looks like he got hit by lightning
Kenma:
ill be honest, i dont think Kenma would be a bender
what he would be ilike is Sokka, super smart, the strategizer, the man with the plan
who people look to for the next step, the brain of the operation
and i dont think heād necessarily have a speciality besides overwhelming ability to observe and make decisions
so basicallyā¦heād be the same LOL
Yaku:
earthbender
being small (dont kick me Yaku) means nothing (uhh have you seen Toph?)
super dependable and not gunna take anyoneās shit
Yamamoto:
Tanakaās counterpart
his homeboy
his fellow firebender
both ready to throwdown at a moments notice
Fukurodani: (wow i suck i dont know anyone well enough but these two)
Bokuto:
did someone say airbender??
i just keep imagining he was the one to teach Hinata the air scooter and they fuckin zoom around while Bokuto is hollering at the top of his lungs
his hair already looks winblown, like he just stepped off his glider and doesnāt bother to fix it
also im cackling bc airbenders prefer evasive manuevers andā¦i keep thinking about that time he ran away from a block and Akaashi called him out for it
Akaashi: (ily Lake for helping)
so apparently setters are waterbenders
bc this boy is definitely one
he has nice fingers (weird i know) but i can see him just making these beautiful hand motions to bend water and hnngg yes
ok but in a more real way, waterbenders have strong fluid motion and understand those around them, they believe in very strong connections between individualsĀ
so even when Bo is out of the game, Fukurodani doesnāt fall apart because they have strong connections and can survive without himĀ
