Haikyuu! Ideas


#1

What if Shōyō Hinata actually practiced with the girls team, before his third year (but kept up the boys team by himself till he got enough members to enter a tournament), like he joined their practices (like what he did after he lost to Kageyama), and the neighborhood associations (The Woman's/Mother's League) but didn't officially join their team, so he didn't ever get to play in a match till that one against Kageyama. Surely this would have helped him improve and make him much much more than what he already was at the beginning of the manga. Also Hinata has these really intense moments in the series, like in the first chapter where he said "We haven't lost yet", or when he smiled after being blocked in the match against Nekoma, and he sends shivers down others spines. They recur a lot, so it gives an impression. Beside in the second match against Aobajousai (sp?) Suga called Hinata a small beast.

Hinata is actually kind of smart, just really hyper and easily distracted, hence the poor grades he receives. Otherwise he would be slightly above average grade wise (if he could concentrate). Like before the team headed to Tokyo and they had to pass their exams, it is even stated that Hinata got them 'all' right on his english final, he just filled them in wrong, and that's why he didn't pass. And that was the only one he failed too!
