The Volleyball Answer

Growth is interesting and I have been staring at this panel for way too long.

This is the fight, this is where both Kageyama and Hinata learn a lesson they have for the whole series.

Kageyama

He has been ostracised by his team for being too demanding and not listening to his peers and he kept asking for more and more. The team decided to give the answer in silence and in non compliance. Which at 14 is fair if not expected.

Here comes the kicker, in this fight, even physical, Hinata doesn't back down, he doesn't take the answer that Kageyama gave him, Coach gave him, even Sugawara gave him, he mostly demanded from Kageyama though.

Hinata

He has waited for Kageyama to toss to him, to keep tossing to him. He told Suga San that if he got tosses from him, he lost to Kageyama somehow.

After playing long enough, he no longer thinks that Kageyama will not toss to him. His fight is essentially, a promise that you keep tossing to me, no matter what, no matter what I ask, as long as we have each other we are invincible.

Kageyama learns that fights happen, if he is demanding, the others can demand too. (And fights can be resolved, maybe crowning happens later but this is the stepping stone of that)

Hinata on the other hand learns that his greed can only be satisfied by one person, that he will go any lengths for Tobio's tosses.

The character study of them is so interesting, the ying and yang nature of them, how they fill spaces left at fundamental levels by those around them.

It was eye opening that Hinata wants a promise of tosses that is all there is. That his setter keeps trying, that failing is acceptable but not giving up.
