First of all, Haikyuu is my favorite manga
and anime. So, you won't see any negative comments here because the last
chapter was all I could ask for. I can’t believe it’s over. I never wanted it to end, but here we are. 8
years and 5 months: this was the duration of Haikyuu.
The final chapter is more like a love letter for
us, the fans. This chapter bring back so many characters and gives everyone a
send-off that isn't really a send-off, because this chapter is to remind us
that, that even the series is over, the characters will continue, even if we as an audience won't get to see them go
on.
This chapter is so powerful, is like start from the beginning. They make it to the 2020 Olympics. In fact, Furudate talk about that some years ago and it finally come true. In chapter 401 we can see Hinata and Kageyama with the Japanese volleyball uniform, that blows my mind. There’s a simple kind of beauty in this. I don’t know how to describe some of the parts, because I don’t know how to feel about them ether. Haikyuu is about volleyball, and even the manga is over there will always be more volleyball.
Being able to watch Hinata grow up like this makes me very happy. I saw all his way, all his falls, stumbles, and achievements, seeing him wear the Japan team uniform as he had always dreamed of, I don't know, it's like a cup of tea in the coldest night of winter.And we can see Oikawa again. The one who could never reach the national became the principal setter for Argentina’s team. The only thing that came to my mind in that moment is that he deserved that. Across the manga and the anime, we can see how much he work, how he overworks himself and how frustrated was. But he did, and he is happy. He is really happy.
To be honest, I’m really satisfied about the end, we
could see the development of most of the characters, how they are in their
adult life. How Tanaka marry Kioko, how Osamu makes her onigiris restaurant,
how all of they grew. And how much they still support Hinata.
Haikyuu is not only a sport anime. Haikyuu is more
than that. Is about don’t give up, about work hard and make sure you know you
can do whatever you want. Is about how to be gentle, how to understand someone’s
feelings and thoughts, how to respect that to.
It taught me that I need to continue, no matter the
obstacles, no matter the opinions, no matter that everything goes wrong from
time to time, the important thing is not to stop, the important thing is to
know where I want to go, the important thing is to know that I am capable of to
get.
Thank you Furudate sensei, thank you so much.
