"I'll have you hitting one after another so you better be prepared" cool how these words are relevant for years to come ? cos hinata improved sm in various areas, he ensures kageyama can keep tossing to him when they're teammates. kageyama knows just how capable hinata is

it's things like this w furudate's storytelling of the MCs dynamic that's delightful. kageyama's face tends to be obscured following major events w hinata e.g. stellar receives showing his growth at defence. thus, these are moments of the gap narrowing between them in vball +

the way we didn't get an instant kageyama reaction when hinata did his sexy pro receive in 398 BUT THE NEXT TIME WE DO SEE KAGEYAMA IN FOCUS (399); he has his head raised up, eyes covered and a small smile (?) on his face. again his expression is mostly hidden but

we get a peek at what's he feeling, which is a bit different to when he was a teenager (could show his own growth of expressing emotions like all the smiles in the timeskip?) & it seems clear when we look at the chapter title: EMBODIMENT and this last page of that very chapter

these panels side by side evoke something so glorious. kagehina sexy and furudate said don't y'all forget it ?
