the ball boy arc will always have a special place in my heart. it's a testament to shoyo's resilience. in order to become a better player, he takes opportunities, and even if he wasn't meant to be at this training camp, he broke through and made an opening for himself. his desire to learn is what sets him apart from the rest. because of this arc, we got to see a new shoyo during the inarizaki vs karasuno game with his amazing receive that slowed down the game. ball boy shoyo is so important!!!
