One Piece Chapter 1093 Review And Updates

The official release of One Piece chapter 1093 is set for Monday, September 25, 2023, but early leaks are already making the rounds. These spoilers carry weight as they originate from Scotch, a highly reliable source, and have been corroborated by the well-known leaker Redon. Notably, the leaks suggest that Five Elders member Saint Saturn is poised to take action. Further details will emerge in the following hours, including a summary and raw scans of the chapter.


In Chapter 1093, titled "Luffy vs Kizaru," the narrative picks up from where the previous installment left off. After Kizaru dominated Luffy's Gear 4 Snakeman form, Luffy unleashed the unprecedented potential of his Gear 5 transformation, enlarging his body to grapple with the Admiral. Meanwhile, Zoro abstains from utilizing either the Advanced Conqueror's Haki or the King of Hell Style, demonstrating incredible restraint in his battle against Lucci, reminiscent of Gear 5 Luffy's approach.

The spoilers reveal that both Luffy and Zoro are holding back their Conqueror's Haki, indicating that the captain and the Straw Hat Pirates' second-in-command aren't going all out against Kizaru and Lucci.

However, it appears Luffy will need to escalate his efforts, as Kizaru proves to be an even more formidable adversary than anticipated. When Vegapunk, Sanji, and Atlas are in transit on Egghead's transport tubes, the Admiral launches a devastating attack. Fortunately, Luffy intervenes, shielding the trio and enabling them to reach their destination. The chapter concludes shortly after, culminating in a thrilling reveal of Saint Jaygarcia Saturn, the Warrior God of Science and Defense.

This panel potentially hints at Saturn's intention to enter the fray. Recent One Piece chapters have established the Five Elders as formidable forces. Therefore, it's conceivable that Saturn will engage in the ongoing battles, showcasing the fearsome powers fans glimpsed during the Levely Arc.

While these revelations leave fans captivated and eager for what's to come, there is unfortunate news accompanying the leaks: One Piece will be on hiatus next week.

One Piece 1092 Spoilers - Zoro facing off against Lucci

One Piece Chapter 1092 Online - Despite the temporary truce that had been established with the Straw Hat Pirates, Lucci made a sudden and treacherous attempt on Vegapunk's life. Stussy valiantly protected the scientist but suffered severe injuries from Lucci's deadly Finger Pistol attack. In response, Roronoa Zoro, the Straw Hats' second-in-command, took it upon himself to challenge Lucci to a duel. Back in Enies Lobby, Lucci had given Luffy a tough fight, pushing the young pirate to his limits. After the timeskip, Lucci returned even stronger, having dedicated himself to honing his Haki skills and unlocking the full potential of his Zoan Devil Fruit. He emerged as the most formidable member of CP0, the clandestine arm of the World Government. Tasked with the mission to eliminate Dr. Vegapunk, Lucci once again found himself standing in the path of the Straw Hat crew. Given their respective achievements and abilities, it appears highly likely that Zoro would emerge victorious in a battle against Lucci. 

zoro vs lucci in one piece 1092

In One Piece Chapter 1091, Zoro managed to push Lucci back, causing him to crash through a wall. While Lucci was in his base form, he was still employing his Armament Haki. Zoro, however, had not yet unleashed his full power, refraining from utilizing his Three Sword Style and the Advanced Conqueror's Haki that could enhance his blades alongside his Armament Haki. Additionally, Zoro had not employed his King of Hell Style, which represents the pinnacle of his combat abilities and combines advanced versions of Armament and Conqueror's Haki. It is reasonable to assume that Lucci would provide a challenging fight for Zoro, but the swordsman possesses the capabilities needed to secure victory. Lucci has elevated himself to a level above the average Commander-class individual. During their rematch in Egghead, Lucci, in his Awakened Zoan form, held his own against Gear 5 Luffy in a clash of Armament Haki, a remarkable feat considering the substantial power boost Gear 5 provides to Luffy. Lucci's durability was also evident as he endured several powerful attacks from Gear 5 Luffy. However, in their battle in Egghead, Luffy ultimately overwhelmed Lucci without needing to employ his Advanced Conqueror's Haki or his most devastating Gear 5 moves. Notably, Lucci swiftly recovered from one of Gear 5 Luffy's attacks during their battle. In a flash, he managed to strike Sentomaru, breaking through Sentomaru's Armament Haki defense and inflicting severe injuries. Sentomaru is a skilled Haki user, making Lucci's victory over him, while simultaneously contending with Emperor-level Luffy, a significant achievement. This underscores Lucci's formidable combat prowess. Additionally, Lucci was hinted to be stronger than Sanji. Despite Sanji's principles that forbid him from allowing harm to come to women, he refrained from attacking Lucci even after witnessing the CP0 agent's near-fatal assault on Stussy. Overall, Lucci's abilities seem to place him slightly above Katakuri and possibly on par with fighters like Marco and King. However, even in the previous arc, Zoro had already surpassed King, who served as Kaido's right-hand man, positioning Zoro as a formidable force. Upon unlocking the peak of his Conqueror's Haki with the King of Hell Style, Zoro attained a new level of power. This enabled him to decisively defeat King with just three strikes, overpowering all of the Lunarian's attempts. Even before gaining this game-changing ability, Zoro possessed enough offensive power to pose a significant threat to Emperors. In fact, during a confrontation with Kaido, Big Mom expressed concern that Zoro's attack could cause substantial harm to Kaido. Despite his injuries from blocking Kaido and Big Mom's combined devastating attack, Zoro challenged Kaido to a one-on-one fight. While he ultimately couldn't defeat Kaido and collapsed shortly after their duel, Zoro managed to inflict a deep wound on the Emperor, leaving Kaido with a lasting scar. Prior to Zoro, only Oden had achieved this feat, a remarkable accomplishment that even the Red Scabbards, a group of Commander-class fighters, couldn't replicate despite their combined efforts. With the inclusion of the Advanced Conqueror's Haki and the King of Hell Style, Zoro has ascended to a different level of power compared to Lucci. While both are unquestionably deadly combatants known for their mastery of Haki, remarkable speed, and indomitable toughness, it is evident that their battle will be thrilling and fast-paced. Lucci's fate is sealed, but the relentless CP0 agent will put up a fierce fight before ultimately succumbing to Zoro's might.

One Piece Chapter 1087: The God Valley Incident

In One Piece 1087 Garling's mind drifts back to a poignant memory, recalling a time when the strong defended the weak. A flashback ensues, nested within the ongoing flashback. In this nested flashback, a young Garling, his fiery red hair flowing, gently places a baby inside a treasure chest. Another layer is added as a flashback begins within the flashback within the flashback.

In this new layer of the memory, Garling, now sporting even more vibrant red hair, stands proudly beside his wife and their newborn child. The distinctive three scars adorning the baby's eye confirm his identity as Shanks. The setting shifts back to the previous flashback within the flashback, revealing that the location is God Valley, and the treasure chest serves as an offering to Saint Imu.

 


Suddenly, an unexpected interruption occurs. A visibly frightened soldier approaches Garling, delivering alarming news of his brother's arrival, accompanied by intense fury. Garling swiftly exits the tent, gazing into the distance, where the figure of Gol D. Roger comes into view. Yet another layer is added as a new flashback begins within the flashback within the flashback, distinct from the previous nested memory.

Within this subsequent layer, a teenage Garling, donning the most captivating red locks imaginable, sits alongside a teenage Roger in Mary Geoise. Roger's prominent mustache confirms his identity. "Garling, I will become the King of the Pirates," proclaims Roger with determination, "and through my strength, I will protect the weak!"

The nested flashback within the flashback within the flashback concludes, returning to the previous layer of the memory, focusing solely on the ongoing flashback within the flashback. "Prepare for battle!" Garling bellows, his voice filled with resolve. "We cannot allow anyone to disrupt the marriage between Saint Xebec and Saint Imu, for my son shall be their ultimate wedding gift!"

One Piece Chapter 1072 Theory / Release Dates

In chapter #1072 of One Piece, Kuma has a plan and everybody got it years ago. What I didn't consider, instead, is that the plan will probably be shared and developed along with vegapunk, while Dragon or the world government just didn't have a clue about what it is.

My 2 cents: Punk is gonna blow a high value tactical strike to the World Government, like stealing a proof, a document, kidnapping a person with Kuma's power, something that only him could do and that's the very reason behind is transformation: a Trojan horse, with the right power for the right job. I don't think that he went suicide mode, nor that he's starting a pure military operation. Come on, you just escaped Mary Geoise and there you go, to the Red port again. Come on!

Monkey D. Garp's Resolve

I think Garp is going to Egghead, though, for two reasons.
1: Law is already fighting Blackbeard, so there's no proof Koby is even on Hachinosu. The Marines know this, and once Garp finds out, he might reconsider attacking the island.
2: Garp probably doesn't know that Luffy is on Egghead, yet. Once he finds out his crazy grandson is involved with CP0 and Vegapunk, I think Garp will show up.

Oda is pairing Helmeppo with Hibari a lot. Imagine Helmeppo ends up marrying and banging Akainu's daughter? LOLOLOLOLOL alright, why not.

One Piece Chapter 1072 Monkey D. Garp Resolves


One Piece 1072: Mysterious Ally

The mysterious ally is hiding from the world government/Marines so he could very well be Scopper Gaban. As Roger's Navigator he is possibly the only man in the world with the know how to navigate to Laugh Tale and that's why the world government is gunning for his head.

Maybe he'll play a similar role to Rayleigh back in Sabaody and help Vega and the strawhats escape by stalling Kizaru. As for who shut down the protective dome he's clearly a hidden enemy on Egghead. He should be someone belonging to another faction, very like the Blackbeard pirates. I think it's either Lafitte or Shiryu as they are the ones with infiltration skills/power.

Scopper Gaban was a member of the Roger Pirates. Gaban is a tall, well-built man with long black hair. His hair is tied in a bushy ponytail in the back, while two thin strands of hair fall over his face. He is always seen wearing a pair of round, black sunglasses. 27 years ago, he wore a long-sleeved blue shirt with white stripes on each sleeve, which was only held closed at the middle with one button. In the anime, he was initially depicted in this outfit with lighter colored hair, silver sunglasses and a purple shirt with a yellow stripe on the collar and down each arm. 26 years ago, he initially wore a yellow t-shirt with two orange blotch-like patterns on the right side, blue pants, and a purple sash. He then wore a purple shirt, orange pants and a pale-yellow sash.  Gaban can be very quick to get to the point, as he proposed stopping the rampaging Kozuki Oden early on before the samurai could cause more damage to the crew. He was also the first to voice the crew's dissatisfaction towards Oden after the latter joined the Roger Pirates. Gaban does not seem to care for small talk, cutting Neptune off when he started talking about Shyarly's popularity across Fish-Man Island.
 
Scopper Gaban

As a long-time member of the Roger Pirates, he understands Roger better than most and knows it is pointless to convince him to run from an enemy. Gaban seems to hold his captain to a high standard and tried to stop him from bowing his head to Whitebeard. Gaban appears to have been a prominent figure in terms of strength and authority, as he was shown leading the charge alongside Rayleigh during the crew's last battle with the Whitebeard Pirates.

In the anime, Gaban was shown to be strong enough to clash on even terms with soon-to-be crewmate Kozuki Oden, one of the strongest-ever samurai from Wano. Gaban wields a pair of axes as his main weapon. The axes are single bit, with a large axe head and a plain handle.

'Osomatsu-san' Gets Third Anime Season for Fall 2020

The official website of the Osomatsu-san (Mr. Osomatsu) anime series announced a third season on Monday. The new season will begin airing on TV Tokyo in October 2020. The website also revealed a teaser visual (pictured above) and an announcement video.

Synopsis
The majority of the Matsuno household consists of six identical siblings: self-centered leader Osomatsu, manly Karamatsu, voice of reason Choromatsu, cynical Ichimatsu, hyperactive Juushimatsu, and lovable Todomatsu. Despite each one of them being over the age of 20, they are incredibly lazy and have absolutely no motivation to get a job, choosing to live as NEETs instead. In the rare occurrence that they try to look for employment and are somehow able to land an interview, their unique personalities generally lead to their swift rejection.



From trying to pick up girlfriends to finding the perfect job, the daily activities of the Matsuno brothers are never dull as they go on all sorts of crazy, and often downright bizarre, adventures. Though they desperately search for a way to improve their social standing, it won't be possible if they can't survive the various challenges that come with being sextuplets! [Written by MAL Rewrite]

The production staff and cast are returning at Studio Pierrot from the previous anime seasons. Eiji Abiko (Juushinki Pandora) is replacing Naoyuki Asano (Eizouken ni wa Te wo Dasu na!) as the character designer.

Based on Fujio Akatsuka's original comedy shounen manga, Osomatsu-san commemorated the author's 80th anniversary with its first anime series in Fall 2015. A second season followed in Fall 2017, and a side story anime film opened in Japan on March 15 last year

Manga 'Shakunetsu Kabaddi' Gets TV Anime Adaptation

TV Tokyo opened an official website on Tuesday, announcing a television anime adaptation of Hajime Musashino's Shakunetsu Kabaddi (Burning Kabaddi) manga. The website also revealed a teaser visual (pictured) and promo.

Synopsis
First-year high schooler Tatsuya Yoigoshi, the former ace of a junior high school soccer team who has come to dislike sports, receives an invitation to join the Kabaddi club.

Kirigaya Suguha

Kirigaya suguha (kirigaya suguha) is the deuteragonist of the fairy dance arc in the sword art online series, and the cousin and adoptive sister of kirigaya kazuto. Suguha was raised along with him as his sister. She is an accomplished kendo practitioner, following her grandfather's wishes. She later takes up playing a vrmmorpg called «alfheim online» as leafa (rīfa), a sylph warrior.


Unlike her cousin kazuto, suguha is upbeat and outgoing. She is much more social and converses easily with others. Even when kazuto began to push her away after finding out they were not really siblings, she still treated him with good spirit and tried to get back in his life. She can be very aggressive towards those that annoy her or cross her and can easily lose her temper. This is demonstrated in one case when recon attempted to kiss her after confessing his love to her and she punched him.


Despite her positive outlook and slightly aggressive behavior, suguha can be somewhat fragile and delicate due to her young age, especially when her cousin, kazuto is involved. After seeing kazuto in a comatose state due to being locked in sao, she broke down crying for the first time in years. In addition to this, once she found out that kirito and kazuto were the same person, she locked herself in her room away from her cousin and went into a slight depression. Most of the time she is quick to rebound from these moments and return to being the same upbeat girl.

Hisashi Kinoshita

Hisashi Kinoshita is a 2nd year in Class 2 at Karasuno High. He is one of the volleyball team's wing spikers. Hisashi has short spiky hair that's light brown in color, and cat-like eyes. He is average in height, but compared with the other second-year players he is the shortest aside from Nishinoya. He's very supportive of his team.


Even though he isn't a regular, he's always seen cheering Karasuno on. It seems he's not afraid to make sly remarks about his teammates such as telling Tanaka, "Don't take off your shirt, baldyPrior to the events in Haikyuu, Hisashi leaves the volleyball team, together with Ennoshita and Narita as they are unable to keep up with Ukai Sr.'s harsh training methods.  They come back after they hear about Ukai Sr.'s hospitalization and regret their decision, starting to call themselves "The Ungrateful Second Years." 



During the Golden Week, it is revealed that he left the volleyball club for a short period of time due to Ikkei Ukai's harsh training methods. He, along with the rest of the team, takes part in a series of training camp with Nekoma High, Ubugawa High, Shinzen High, and Fukurōdani Academy. It is noted that he's part of Team B, He seems to be a good overall player during practice matches. He makes a good effort when digging for the ball. By the time of Spring Nationals, he will be a pinch server that can perform jump float serves alongside Yamaguchi. He appears to be good friends with Ennoshita and Narita and is often seen with them during practice or games.
Textual description of firstImageUrl

Chikara Ennoshita

Chikara Ennoshita is a 2nd year at Karasuno High. He is one of the team's wing spikers. Ennoshita is an average-looking guy, with slightly downturned eyes causing him to have a somewhat sleepy look on his face. He has medium dark brown hair, kept parted near the middle, his eyebrows and eyes being the same colour. He often doesn't attract much attention and often goes unmentioned even when he's on court. He seems quiet and reserved but can behave boldly towards the other 2nd years. He's smart and hasn't received a failing mark before. Similarly to Sugawara, he can usually be seen with a gentle smile on his face.


He's the only one within the 2nd years to be able to control Tanaka and Nishinoya. He's also able to understand and relate to different people, as stated a few times by Tanaka and when he knew what to do to give Yamaguchi some courage before his jump float serve. He also became super-critical of his failures early in his apperance as an injury replacement for Daichi, where he had three spikes going out of bounds, even when his late saves helped Karasuno to a win over Wakutani. Prior to the events in Haikyuu, Ennoshita leaves the volleyball team, together with Kinoshita and Narita as they are unable to keep up with Ikkei Ukai's harsh training methods.  They come back after they hear about Ukai Sr.'s hospitalization and regret their decision, starting to call themselves "The Ungrateful Second Years". His regular position on the team is taken by Tanaka and Asahi. He can be seen cheering from the bench during games. He appeared briefly as a regular until Asahi came back and took his spot. For a while, he stood on the sidelines cheering the team on in official matches with the other benched players, having never missed a game despite not playing.


In chapter 119 after Daichi collided and had to be taken out, Ennoshita took his spot. He helped encourage Tanaka, who felt guilty about colliding with Daichi. Later in the same match, when Ukai went to yell at Yamaguchi, Ennoshita built up the courage and stepped in front of him, most likely avoiding a bad lecture for Yamaguchi. During the chapter, he misses the ball multiple times, but rather than cave into dismay, he's inspired by his teammates to be a better player. When the match ends with the team winning, instead of being elated, he realizes he's bitter about not being able to play more or being good enough compared to his teammates. Ennoshita's fundamentals all seem pretty much intermediate, as commented by Iwaizumi, his playing style isn't that bad, but wasn't that outstanding overall, he is predominantly a left-wing spiker, and rather poor on the right side. No ability in particular stands out, but is level headed and smart during in games, despite his game sense in volleyball being much lower than Sugawara and Daichi. This was showcased as he was able to deduce Takeru's plan of using his blockouts every time he goes up against blockers, each time he attempts to spike the ball. Even though he is a bench player, his smart thinking in games is what got him voted to be the next captain for the whole team next year, by the time the current third years graduate and leave for university.

Ryūnosuke Tanaka

Ryūnosuke Tanaka is a 2nd year student at Karasuno High school. He is a wing spiker on Karasuno High Boy's Volleyball Club. Tanaka has a shaved head with a widow's peak and sharp blue/grey eyes (golden brown in the manga coloured illustrations) which lead many to mistake him as a delinquent. He is also average in height and has a lean build. He tends to make strange faces to try to scare and intimidate others, which Daichi scolds him for.


Loud, hot-headed, and easily angered, he is no stranger to picking fights. He is also somewhat of a slacker, shown by his less-than-stellar work ethic in school and his usual lateness to practices. Despite all this, he is shown to be caring and supportive towards his teammates, and even protective of his underclassmen. Once he gets fired up, he is usually unstoppable on the court–and also unstoppably loud, as demonstrated by his over-the-top cheering after he scores or pulls off an incredible move. He also has the tendency to take off his shirt and spin it over his head when he scores a point in practices. Tanaka also has a large interest in Kiyoko Shimizu, similar to Yū Nishinoya. He often approaches her and tries to talk to her.


Even though he is usually being ignored by her, it turns him on. And thus, he usually looks out for her alongside Nishinoya, especially during the Tokyo training camp and official matches when the other teams take an interest in her. He is a player that never gives up on the ball. According to Keishin Ukai, Tanaka is the second strongest spiker in Karasuno (Asahi being the first) and most importantly, his ability to perform when he's cornered doesn't deteriorate. This mental strength gives him the qualities of an ace. According to Oikawa, he has incredible mental fortitude during games. After the Summer Training Camp Arc, Tanaka seemed to have improved the ferocity of his cross & straight spikes. By Nationals, Tanaka will have learned to perform a legitimate jump serve that can pressure his opponents.
Textual description of firstImageUrl

Yū Nishinoya

Yū Nishinoya is a second year student at Karasuno High School. He serves as the libero for his school's volleyball team, and is regarded by his teammates as "Karasuno's Guardian Deity". Nishinoya is the shortest member on the team, standing at 159.3 cm (now at 160.5 cm as of chapter 207). Despite his small stature, he has a fairly muscular build. He regularly styles his wild hair by ruffling most of it upwards, adding 10 cm to his height; the tiny tuft of hair that falls over his forehead appears to be bleached a dirty blond. His eyes are brown and slanted.


He tends to wear brightly colored shirts that typically have a random phrase printed on either its front or back, such as "One-Man Army" or "Three-Point Headstand". Nishinoya is a very energetic and temperamental person. His boisterous nature and crazy shenanigans can attract unwanted attention quite easily, which often goes badly for him. Although he hardly ever worries about the consequences of his actions (and may even revert to violence in order to vent out his anger on certain occasions), he is surprisingly considerate of his friends' feelings and insecurities. He has a quirky habit of spontaneously coming up with ridiculous names for the moves he executes while practicing receives. He is also unexpectedly shy when it comes to talking to girls he hasn't met before. Like Tanaka, Noya has a large interest in Kiyoko Shimizu.


Together, they try to approach her, but are ultimately ignored. They cause a bit of a ruckus when this happens and are usually scolded by somebody, usually Daichi. When the show officially introduces Noya in the eighth episode, he energetically approaches Kiyoko, which results in an off-screen slap. Noya returns with a red cheek and a smile. Noya can be extremely impatient, excitable and impulsive. As Tanaka puts it, "he simply gets too fired up for his own good". He doesn't bother to filter his words, and is therefore prone to blurting out whatever he's thinking in a loud and tactless manner. In-game, however, his attitude changes drastically: he becomes incredibly focused and serious, remaining calm and doing everything in his power to provide the support his team needs until the very end. For this reason, everyone in the volleyball club respects him greatly. Nishinoya's skills in defense are said to be unparalleled. The level of proficiency he demonstrates in his position as a libero has caused his captain to refer to him as a "guardian deity", and his skills were also acknowledged by Nekoma's libero, Yaku. He has supremely fast reflexes, swift feet and flexible arms. He can receive volleys that most teams would usually deem impossible, and keep the ball in play and connected. One of his techniques, "Rolling Thunder", is based on him performing a somersault. Nishinoya is good at acting on the spur of the moment, adapting to the flow of the game as it is required. This turned out to be a vital asset to Karasuno in their revenge game against the famed "Iron Wall", wherein Noya made the split-second decision of using his foot in order to prevent the ball from hitting the ground, since he knew he could not reach it with his hands in time. That move alone earned him the immediate astonishment and heartfelt praise of the entire stadium, including several volleyball veterans, a number of players from rival teams, and even his normally critical coach.  After Karasuno's second match against Aobajōsai, Nishinoya came to the conclusion that he had to learn skills other than receives if he truly wanted to be of better use to his team, and began practicing throws (also known as "overhand tosses") with Sugawara. He is shown to be having difficulty with them, but nevertheless refuses to give up. As a result of the Summer Camp Training, he is now capable of jumping from behind the attack line and performing a libero toss, which he performed against Aobajōsai in the third match together, setting up Asahi for a spike.

Asahi Azumane

Asahi Azumane is a 3rd year student in Class 3 from Karasuno High; he is one of the boys' volleyball club's wing spikers and its ace. He has long hair which is usually styled as a bun behind his head and dark brown eyes matching his hair as well as his eyebrows. He also appears to be growing a short scruff on his chin, his overall appearance makes him look way beyond his age yet slightly unapproachable.


In Season 2, he is shown no longer wearing his hair in a bun, but swept backwards with a sports hairband. In contrast to his appearance, he is rather quiet and gentle, and has difficulties realizing that he is Karasuno's ace, as he initially doesn't feel that way. He shows to be weak-willed at the beginning when he leaves the team before the first years come, feeling that he let down his entire team when they lost against Date Tech High even though they counted on him.  After coming back to Karasuno, he realizes that his will to play volleyball is much stronger than he thought, and with the help of his teammates, he acknowledges his position as Karasuno's ace (even though he is still mocked sometimes by Daichi for not having any "ace-like presence") and gains self-confidence. 


Asahi is said to have a "Glass Heart", taking everything that is said about him to heart, and becoming depressed because of it at times. While he still feels insecure about a lot of things and seems to be quite a scaredy-cat, he clearly states that he has no intention of letting anyone take his ace position away from him in later chapters, showing his development from the beginning.  Asahi is the most powerful attacker in Karasuno. He is known for a strong spike that can blast past most defenders. His best spike is when he's given a high toss that is slightly away from the net. After their battle against Nekoma, Asahi learned how to do a back row attack. As a result of the Summer Training Camp Arc, Asahi learned to perform a jump serve. His receives also became more solid than during the Interhigh match against Seijoh.

Kōshi Sugawara

Kōshi Sugawara is a third year at Karasuno High School; he is a setter in the Karasuno High Boys' Volleyball Club. Sugawara is shown to be average in height with a slender build. He has light grey hair and hazel, brown eyes with a birthmark or a mole under his left eye. He is usually seen with a gentle smile on his face. Being the vice captain, he has a soothing and gentle personality for his teammates and acts as a pillar of support for them. Even though he isn't Karasuno's official setter anymore, he doesn't dream of giving up on playing in general.


As such, he encourages himself and all of his teammates not to give up, no matter how rough the situation might be. Sugawara's dedication to volleyball is clear when he decides to continue club activities even when most third years choose to retire to focus on their futures. In a meeting, his teacher asked Sugawara why he's so determined to continue playing even though he's not a starting member, and Sugawara replied that he doesn't want to have regrets in the future. He is also quite perceptive as he noticed how Tanaka asked for the key to the gym (back during the first years's 3-on-3 match) even though he always comes in late. He is also intelligent as he can come up with helpful tactics during games that his team members can use. An example of this is when he came up with the idea of saying "bring it" and "send it to me" for Kageyama and Hinata's combo. Suga also came up with the hand signals over night while his teammates were sleeping.


While on the sidelines, Sugawara pays close attention to the way the other team plays, often able to give his teammates advice on how to beat the other team. On the off-chance that Sugawara is put in the game, he can carry over what he learned from watching on the sidelines in order to rally the team and score a few points. However, he quickly gets stressed out by the heat of the game and starts to over-think things too much. Because Sugawara rarely plays in official matches, he's an unknown element. When he is called into games, the other teams, who may have had time to study up on the usual starting line up, don't typically know what to expect from Sugawara, thus working to Karasuno's advantage. Since the summer training camp arc, Sugawara has been mostly responsible for the team's synchronized attacks. He also practiced spiking during that time and now uses that to confuse opponents in matches. During the Karasuno's Spring High match against Aobajōsai, Sugawara showed off two new strategies. The first was acting as a pinch server in order to force Kentarō Kyōtani into receiving the serve from the front line, thus slowing him down and making him unable to spike. The second was Calculated One-Point Two-Setter - a synchro attack with Sugawara as the setter and Kageyama as a spiker, giving Karasuno five (as opposed to four) available spikers.

Daichi Sawamura

Daichi Sawamura  is a third year at Karasuno High School; he is the captain of the Karasuno High volleyball club, holding the position of wing spiker. He was the acting coach during the time that Karasuno did not have an official coach.


He has short dark hair and dark brown eyes. Daichi has a large build, and many people have stated that his appearance gives off his captain status right away. Daichi usually has a gentle smile on his face but when he gets angry, his eyes glaze over.  Daichi is a very caring and concerned captain who makes sure that everyone is doing okay and always puts the team first. He is also patient and understanding, but becomes "really scary" when angry or when his patience gets tested. He is well-respected and also feared by his teammates. During the match against Johzenji High, Takinoue notices how Daichi is similar to Asahi in that neither of them seem like high schoolers (Asahi because of his appearance and Daichi because of his behavior).



However, he dismisses this thought after Yachi tells him about how Daichi recently got in trouble for accidentally setting off the emergency bell while struggling with the boys' basketball team's captain during the lunchtime rush. Daichi's weapon isn't his attack, but his solid receive. As a result, he can be considered a defensive specialist. In other words, he's skillful and excels at defense. He, along with Nishinoya, are often the ones tasked with handling difficult receives (such as Oikawa's serve), or covering for other teammate's mistakes as a solid anchor, something Johzenji High lacks. He also commands formation shifts to cover for Johzenji's attacks, and leaving them vulnerable at the frontline. After the Summer Training Arc, he improved his solid receive, flying fall receive, and soft block. He also says that he feels like he can see the opposing spiker's movements more clearly than before. Adding onto that, it's shown (in a flashback) that he can use the opposing spiker's form to read the spiker's course.

Tobio Kageyama

Tobio Kageyama is a first year at Karasuno High School; he is the regular setter of the Karasuno High Boys' Volleyball Club and plays a critical role as the deuteragonist of the Haikyū!! series. Initially, he was referred to as the "King of the Court," a derogatory nickname that insinuates his autocratic nature, given to him by his former teammates at Kitagawa Daiichi during his late junior high school days.


Kageyama is also widely regarded as a stunning prodigy and an absolute genius by many of the prefecture's players and coaches. After joining Karasuno, he manages to change his attitude for the better with the help of his new teammates and 'rediscover' what it means to be a part of a team. Currently, he has been chosen to train at the all Japan youth training camp and there's a strong possibility that he will become part of Japan's national volleyball team in the future. Kageyama's height and impressively sharp glare are said to be his most prominent physical characteristics. He often emits an intimidating aura, which is heightened by the almost permanent scowl on his face. His hair is black and cropped short, with a fringe that hangs just above his dark blue eyes. His typical attire consists of either his school uniform or practice clothes. Perpetually sullen and undeniably short-tempered, Kageyama originally came off as a typical overbearing perfectionist, caring only about winning and completely disregarding the opinions and well-being of his teammates. His habit of complaining about their performance and barking orders at them eventually led the other players in Kitagawa Daiichi to nickname him the "King of the Court"–a constant reminder of the oppressive, egocentric attitude he demonstrated during his volleyball career in junior high.


Unbeknownst to the majority of his schoolmates and acquaintances, however, he is actually much more sensitive and childish than he appears to be; he simply does not know how to control his frustration, and hence expresses his thoughts and emotions in an inappropriate way. After everyone in Kitagawa Daiichi became fed up with him and abandoned his side, Kageyama was filled with genuine regret and developed an intense fear of being despised and mistrusted, but refused to openly discuss his problem until Tsukishima confronted him about it. Despite his inability to properly socialize, he sincerely wishes to do his best and is extremely passionate and dedicated when it comes to volleyball, to the point where he gets overly excited about nearly every successful move he pulls off with Hinata. Since joining Karasuno, he has grown to be more respectful of his upperclassmen (Sugawara and Asahi in particular), as well as more accepting of people whose abilities and/or views differ from his own (like Tsukishima), and has come to once again understand the importance of teamwork and mutual trust in the sport he treasures so much. Additionally, this has also helped him regain his confidence as a setter. He has also realized that he doesn't call the shots, and gives up control to Hinata and other spikers. As a setter, Kageyama has the potential to unify the team with his overwhelming talent, but hasn't learned how to exploit that to everyone's full advantage yet. He has a remarkable grasp of both the basics and the complexities of volleyball and, in addition to his astounding accuracy and technical skills as a setter, is a skilled spiker, blocker, and receiver.

Shōyō Hinata

Shōyō Hinata  is the main protagonist of the Haikyū!! series by Haruichi Furudate. He is a first year student at Karasuno High and is one of the volleyball team's middle blockers. Hinata's dream is to become strong enough to spike past tall blockers, just like the Small Giant once did. However, since he lacks height for a middle blocker, he specializes in jumping to compensate. Hinata is 164.2 cm, making him the second shortest person on his team, next to Nishinoya.


He has unruly, orange hair and brown eyes. He has a relatively thin build and a short stature, characteristics which often leads him to be mistaken for a junior high student. Hinata typically attires in his Karasuno school uniform with a black jacket and black pants. Beneath his jacket is a beige or tan sweatshirt. In the first episode, he wore the green volleyball uniform from his junior high. After joining Karasuno's Volleyball Club, Hinata wears his volleyball uniform–a black jersey and black shorts with white and orange stripes on the sides. On the back of his jersey is his position number 10 (coincidentally, the same number that was worn by the Small Giant) and his school's name written in kanji. On court, he wears kneepads and white volleyball shoes with red stripes. Hinata is very exuberant, having a cheerful and energetic personality. He is a natural schmoozer, a quality that his teammates occasionally use to win someone over (Nishinoya, for example). Hinata is also very easily excited and often talks loudly; he is the loudest member after Nishinoya and Tanaka. His friendly personality allows him to befriend even the quietest of people effortlessly, such as Kenma from Nekoma High and Aone from Date Tech High.


However, despite his generally bubbly exterior, Hinata is also shown to have a serious attitude, particularly when it comes to volleyball. His intense love for the sport is demonstrated through his impressive display of tenacity that stems from his constant desire to improve his abilities. As stated by Sugawara, Hinata plays with great fortitude in the face of adversity and thus, doesn't give up easily during a match whether it's a practice match or a real match. Hinata can also exhibit a very intimidating face when people underestimate him. Despite that, Hinata gets scared easily, especially by larger and stronger opponents, prompting him to develop a habit of hiding behind the nearest teammate. However, he recovers quickly before confidently challenging the opponents. Hinata, like Kageyama, does poorly in school since he too is preoccupied with volleyball. He once told Sugawara that ever since he'd entered high school, he has never scored in the double digits on any of his tests. Hinata is often described as clumsy yet incredibly athletic. Before entering Karasuno High, he didn't know much about volleyball and would hit any spike he wanted, regardless of what type it was. However, with the help of his new teammates, he soon learned the fundamentals and techniques. Despite the training, Hinata would occasionally have his serves hit the net or have them received easily by opponents. He is not known as a powerful player, but rather one who utilizes speed and stamina to his advantage. However, above all, Hinata’s main assets are his fortitude and determination to win.

Sinon

Sinon (shinon) is the deuteragonist of the phantom bullet arc in the sword art online (series), and is a skilled vrmmo game player in «gun gale online», which she began playing based on the suggestion from her friend, shinkawa kyouji, in an attempt to overcome her trauma concerning guns. After the events of the phantom bullet arc, she began playing «alfheim online» as a cait sith archer, capable of hitting targets 200 meters away with a bow that should only be able to shoot arrows accurately at a maximum distance of 100 meters. Her real name is asada shino (asada shino).


Calm and cool are two words that best describe sinon's personality. In battle and most of the time in the game, she keeps a cool head that makes other female players admire her. However, sinon has a violent temper once angered, best seen with her interactions with kirito. It is actually said that kirito is the first one to make her extremely angry. Despite all this, sinon, while maybe hard to approach, is generally a friendly person and does not mind helping others.


Shino, however, can be a fragile-minded character. This is due to her childhood incident that involved her killing a robber. If someone were to act as if they were shooting her in real life shino would have a nervous breakdown and be on the verge of collapsing. People have used this to take advantage of shino before. Not only this, but the guilt of taking another's life haunts shino the same way killing laughing coffin members haunts kazuto. After the death gun incident, shino has made progress with handling her trauma, as she did not have any serious reactions to seeing a model gun when endou threatened to shoot her with one, and was even able to use it while feigning that she was not affected by it. Shino is shown to have an uncommonly kind heart. Not only was she willing to forgive shinkawa kyouji, but still cared for him as a friend to the extent that she resolved to visit him in prison to try and help, if not save him as a person. In alo, sinon is shown to be admired by the other female members of the party due to her cool attitude.

Asuna

Asuna (asuna) is the deuteragonist of the aincrad arc in the sword art online series, as well as the protagonist of the mother's rosario side story. Her real name is yuuki asuna (yūki asuna), and she is the daughter of the former ceo of rect inc. Asuna was one of the 10,000 players trapped in «sword art online» and was the sub-leader of the «knights of the blood» guild. her skills with the rapier had her earned her the nickname «the flash» (senkō). After returning to the real world, asuna transferred her sword art online avatar to alfheim online and began playing the game as an undine. Due to her tendency to charge into battle with a rapier despite being a healer, she has earned the nickname «berserk healer» (bāsaku hīrā). asuna has also created an alternative avatar, the sylph «erika» (erika), as she sometimes wanted to change her appearance.


Asuna originally did not care about dying in the game before meeting kirito. That meeting drastically changed asuna's personality and outlook on life. She soon takes most things kirito says to heart and looks to him for help, using him as somewhat of a lifeline. She acts as a tsundere towards him for most of volume 1, even when married. Asuna is a kind and helpful young woman who, similar to kirito, cannot abandon another in trouble. She takes the game very seriously and is determined to clear it before kirito tells her to enjoy sao a bit.


Asuna is also somewhat proud and despite her kind personality, she will not hesitate to get physical with those that challenge her authority or make fun of her abilities, such as cooking. She even challenged kirito to a duel after an argument over how to handle a field boss. She is not afraid to act out on her own and will take matters in her own hands from time to time. Asuna, once again similar to kirito, is someone who can be controlled and manipulated using her emotions. This is best shown in moments such as during kirito's final duel with heathcliff on the 75th floor when she resisted her paralysis, jumped in front of kirito, and took an attack that would have otherwise killed him. She also cannot handle seeing others die in front of her, such as when she recklessly attacked the gleam eyes after seeing the liberation army players getting slaughtered. In alo, after being saved by kirito, asuna's personality had not changed a bit except that she was not as proud as she was in sao. Her personality began to develop further still after meeting yuuki in the events of mother's rosario. Seeing how yuuki still moves forward, despite knowing her death is inevitable, asuna takes after her and resolves to keep moving forward, no matter what happens.
