okay yeah i'm thinking about shimada and takinoue and how they're just local dudes who still casually enjoy volleyball and go play this pickup game because their friend somehow got roped into this temporary coaching job and then all of a sudden they're inspired and nostalgic about the ridiculous passionate things these high schoolers are saying—"as long as i'm here you're invincible!"

and then one of the kids who didn't even play in that practice match shows up at shimada's store and asks him to teach him jump float serves—which shimada doesn't even remember doing, let alone remember yamaguchi. and then he does!! he just takes time out of his workdays every week to teach this kid how to serve, and for no real reason other than that yamaguchi asked so earnestly

and so shimada and takinoue go to watch the tournament bc hey i guess their friend ukai has committed to this coaching thing and shimada has been kinda working with this yamaguchi kid for like a week now so sure that's a way to spend a saturday. and then the passion is on full display on the court again, as well as the devastation and shame not only of karasuno's loss but at the brutal truth that their skills just aren't enough yet, and yeah shimada and takinoue know those feelings too

so takinoue finds himself looking up game footage of opposing teams and collecting them together for ukai and the team to study, and then splicing together clips with soundtracks of karasuno doing their coolest shit so that they can see and feel how awesome they are—we've even seen him take over practices for ukai if he cant be there

and then shimada just takes his training with yamaguchi so seriously. they have a schedule, he's set up a net in the back area behind his store, he goes through different processes yamaguchi can use to get better not only physically but mentally too. and then he's in the stands crying and calling yamaguchi "my boy"—he's running around an entire arena sweating his ass off and embarrassing himself to shove an ipad into a plastic bag and hold it over his head just so that yamaguchi hopefully sees it and doesnt get swept up by his nerves

like these guys do everything they can for the team and for those kids. they ask for donations in their shops, they take time off work to travel to tokyo, they recruit their employees and other friends to watch the matches, and they go to every game. every single game

they aren't family. they aren't relatives of anyone on the team or even anyone at the school. they didn't have to do any of that. they're just some of ukai's friends who got inspired and made a difference

Still a Zen stan in this dying game 🫠🫠

But I have to say, canceling reaper’s ult and then immediately headshotting a genji who just started his blade makes it 1% worth it so

Japanese Hairstyles: Historical Overview Part 02: Women’s Hairstyles of the Edo Period, Part 03

Hairstyle Name: Tsubushi Shimada (つぶし島田) lit. “Crushed Rice Paddy Island”

    This hairstyle is a variation of the Shimada-mage established during the Tenpo period (1830-1844 CE) in the Edo era. It was a huge trend at that time, especially between yuujo and brothel owners. There's no cushion at the root of the tail, so the tail appears to have been “crushed.” Such a style was recognized as “iki,” or chic, and considered the opposite of the “taka-shimada.”

     It was widely popular among all women of Japanese society. The lower base of the topknot, giving it the appearance that it has been crushed, is what gives this style its name. Enhancements to this topknot, in the form of kanzashi, kanoko, and chirimen, would help to identify the age and status of the wearer.

Dai Dark - Character Heights

This was asked on reddit so posting this here as well with more detail. Sr if this is done already, but kinda want my own reference/notes anyways.

I plan on adding more characters as the story goes. Got part of the main cast for now, as they were either (1) confirmed, or (2) I had enough reference material where i felt comfortable estimating; I've tried being as accurate as possible but if anyone has any notes or corrections pls let me know!

Based on who I got so far - the overall chart would look like this: Misetani Box (est) < Sanko < Avakian < Damemaru < Shimada (est)

-----------------------------------------

Sanko:

Adult: 1.90 m / 6.2 ft

Child: 1.35 m / 4.4 ft

Reference: Chapter 4

Note: He's only 14 really, so wonder how much taller he'll get, lol

2. Avakian:

Standing: 1.95 m / 6.4 ft

Package: 1.25 m / 4.1 ft

Reference: Chapter 4

Note: The number is not specified exactly but the height chart is quite clear so think this should be accurate. it's technically that handle he has on his head that's giving him the extra height which I find kinda funny - otherwise by head alone, he'd be same height as Sanko.

3. Damemaru:

Adult: 2.00 m / 6.6 ft

Reference: Chapter 27

Note: This is self proclaimed (not that i think this makes a difference tbh)

4. Shimada:

Adult: 2.15 m ?? / 7 ft ??

Note: Don't believe this is referenced at all (correct me if im wrong pls) , but I am estimating to be around that much just by looking at how they're drawn compared to others.

For example this page, which shows Damemaru slightly taller than Sanko so think Hayashida was loyal to her idea of heights (I find authors sometimes fail to take into consideration their characters' heights when drawing them together, so its not the best strategy but i have some faith here) Anywho, Shimada is taller, and then I used a height comparison chart maker to replicate the heights and ended up with 2,15m; probs not 100% accurate but either way, the idea is she's the tallest lol (yay)

5. Misetani Box:

Adult: 1.50-1.55 m ?? / 4.9 - 5 ft ??

Note: Same as Shimada, this isn't referenced. I saw online she's estimated to be 1,55 m , but I believe she could even be around 1,50 (or even shorter!) based off this image of her standing next to Avakian (be warned lol): Chapter 25. I used the height comparison chart again to replicate the heights and determine the numbers.

------------------------------------------

Further Notes/Comments:

We have Shimada as a kid too, but since they can change their height at will I don't think it matters much - should be same height as Sanko/child though.

Chidaruma is 2.60 m / 8.5 ft - just thought to add that in <3 (ref)

I'm annoyed I'm missing Nagurun - I estimate same height as Damemaru=2.00 m, or at the very least 1.90 m (=Sanko) but I want to have proper reference first, so let me sit on it for a bit pls

The Characters I want to get next are: Nagurun, Moja, Lightning Viper, and Theta Eight-Legs

The height comparison chart maker I used if anyone wants it

Edit1: Added figures in feet
