Kowloon City: An Illustrated Guide,
At its height in the 1990s, Kowloon Walled City in Hong Kong housed about 50,000 people. Its population is unremarkable for small cities, but what set Kowloon apart from others of its size was its density. Spanning only 2.6 hectares, the tiny enclave contained 1,255,000 people per square kilometer, making it the densest city in the world.
Kowloon was built as a small military fort around the turn of the 20th century. When the Chinese and English governments abandoned it after World War II, the area attracted refugees and people in search of affordable housing. With no single architect, the urban center continued to grow as people stacked buildings on top of one another and tucked new structures in between existing ones to accommodate the growing population without expanding beyond the original fort’s border.
With only a small pocket of community space at the center, Kowloon quickly morphed into a labyrinth of shops, services, and apartments connected by narrow stairs and passageways through the buildings. Rather than navigate the city through alleys and streets, residents traversed the structures using slim corridors that always seemed to morph, an experience that caused many to refer to Kowloon as “a living organism.”
The city devolved into a slum with crime and poor living conditions and was razed in 1994. Before demolition, though, a team of Japanese researchers meticulously documented the architectural marvel, which had become a sort of cyberpunk icon that even inspired a gritty arcade as tribute.

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.
