Kageyama finally letting go of his “Solitary King” mindset is the real win of the episode. It's ironic that his biggest personal victory still ends in team defeat, but that’s what makes it hit harder. Oikawa is just a beast LMFAO

Unexpected!! Call me biased but I'm such an Aoba Johsai girly although seeing Karasuno all tired and heartbroken about the results made me a little sad. I know for a fact this is going to be a learning experience and stepping stone for something better though
