when i say “i hate men” im not talking about every individual man in the world, im talking about men as a social class, but if youre the kind of man that gets offended when i say i hate men then i do, specifically, hate you on an individual level
This scene is interesting because Nagisa tells Ai he won’t lose, then of course goes on to be second to him, which makes me wonder what this look meant:
In this moment, of course, Nagisa doesn’t intend on losing or know he’s going to lose to Ai - we only know this after watching. But because the writers knew all along, I wonder if he’s looking to Rei for strength, inspiration, or just a reminder that even if he can’t live up to his words, even if he does lose, it will be all right.
It’s definitely more of a “you got this” nod in the moment but looking back at the episode after the first watch, it does seem to parallel Rei’s anxiety earlier in a way. Rei didn’t claim he would win, or ask for that - he just needed the moment with Nagisa to realize there was more to winning, that in a way, he’d already won and there was everything to gain, nothing to lose.
Perhaps in this moment, Nagisa is discovering the same.
Furudate-sensei’s sketch to promote the release of Vol 34 of Haikyuu!!~
Oikawa: …That’s good. Kuroo: Nah, yours is good too. Oikawa: No, no, I’ve lost to Kuro-chan. Look, you look good doing that with one hand. It’s powerful. Kuroo: No, no, Oikaaa-kun, the stability it has when you hold it with both hands is good, just as I’d expect from a setter. [They’re referring to how they’re holding banners with their school’s motto on the covers of Vol 17 and 34.] Sawamura: How peaceful.
Furudate: Haikyuu!! Volume 34 and Let’s! Haikyuu!? Volume 7 went on sale yesterday!! Please do support them!!

Continuation of the Story by Kannonzaka Doppo’s VA Ito Kento
Bad at Household Chores But an Able Working Corporate Slave
—— As this is Matenrou’s second CD release, what is your impression of Kannonzaka Doppo?
Ito: When Doppo raps, he steadily becomes more and more dangerous (laughs). Although he wasn’t able to speak his mind when he first started, he might get better at expressing himself little by little. As usual, he’s menial, but I think he is able change that into a strength. For that to happen, it may be because his teammates Jinguji Jakurai and Izanami Hifumi’s presence have become larger.
—— What do you pay attention to when you are acting as Doppo?
Ito: It was a challenge to record with that much negative emotion infused. When I’m in Tokyo, it’s easy to trace Doppo’s actions, like remembering being shaken in a crowded train…. He even wears a suit so it’s even harder. I’m glad my job doesn’t require wearing a suit (laughs).
—— Doppo is perhaps the sole corporate slave character, but how do you feel about this?
Ito: I wonder how much of a corporate slave he is. I don’t think being a salesperson is the most suitable job for Doppo, I wonder if he’s okay. First, Doppo should have a car because it would be tough for Doppo to go around for business by train. Having a car would make it easier. Perhaps Hifumi would buy him a car since he has more money (laughs). I don’t know if he has enough income for a car…
—— A line in Hifumi’s part of “-Division Battle Anthem-” is “12,346,600 Monthly,” so we can estimate his monthly sales to be over 10,000,000 [yen]. If the club shares 50% of the sales with him, then that is a quite an income.
Ito: If it’s not a luxury car, it’s likely that he’d get one for Doppo…?! But if he does that, Doppo’s self worth might fade away (laughs).
