This is totally an unrepentant excuse to liken Team Japan to Haikyu!! characters.
A lot of volleyball fans are still high over Japan's heart-stopping five-set win against China to open Round 3 of the FIVB Men's Volleyball Nations League in Pasay.
One of them is Chery Tiggo Crossovers' Jen Nierva, who had the golden opportunity to take selfies with star players Ran Takahashi and Yuki Ishikawa.
And she seems to be taking a whole lot of inspiration from Japanese volleyball, as she started her Thursday morning with the anime Haikyu!!
It was only apt that she shared an Instagram story of Karasuno High School libero prodigy Yu Nishinoya.
Here's to hoping fans can see incredible digs and receptions from Nierva as well!
Ryujin Nippon has a Guardian Deity of the floor as well in Tomohiro Yamamamoto. He even managed to sneak a point against China last Tuesday.
He ranks third in the league so far with 82 total digs, resulting in a 68.91% success rate.
Outside hitter Ran Takahashi has been known to make wily moves as well. Revel at this fake spike in the air–only for Takahashi to set it up for Ishikawa during the Tokyo 2020 Olympics. Just like Miya Osamu of Inarizaki.
Yuji Nishida though has to be the real-life Hinata, given his height, incredible hangtime, and powerful spikes.
Japan returns to action this Friday at 7 p.m. against the Netherlands.
