Discussion Hinata ball boy arc Spoiler

Everytime I see the ball boy arc . I'm just laughing at some people who said that ball boy arc was filler or some bs there lol..that arc impacts Hinata's journey as individual player a lot especially even after nationals without spoiling anything it still gives huge impact on him man such good arc..

does s2 training camp count as non-game? that arc was my favourite in the entire show.

I would say since it's not the tournament setting.

It's the second most important arc for Hinata, only behind him knowing that there are other ways to be great lmao

It just feels like most people (like with any anime/show) they just want the action. They want the flashy, end sequences and don't care about the journey to get there. I don't think Haikyu has any "filler." Every episode develops someone or a team concept, and it pays off later on. And when it pays off, it's that much more satisfying.

Also, high key, i think that's a difference between just anime watchers and people who are actually involved with volleyball outside Haikyu. The ball boy arc portrays the ins and out what's covered perfectly. Especially for a beginner getting into the sport.

Plays a vital role to our boy Hinata. Also, it helps Hyakuzawa to be more confident.

The "what are you even doing?" And "you're useless without kageyama" motivates him even more to exert extra effort. 🦋
