In one of the more comedic episodes in an already light-hearted show, the Karasuno team attempts to intimidate their rivals on the Aoba Josai team, but Hinata’s nerves make him fall apart.

Yuu Nishinoya is the Karasuno libero, a player that specializes in playing at the back of the court. Yuu arrives on the scene and immediately establishes his perfect gameplay, impressing Hinata.

Okamoto has also played similarly aggressive characters such as Bakugo in My Hero Academia and Ryo Kurokiba in Food Wars. Yuu’s first appearance in the show is extremely memorable, and this episode uses him well through both humor and demonstrations of athletic ability.
