Yamada is a tough nut. Definitely nothing like a big baby. She was the only one who didn't cry during Tokyo Olympics. Hugged the shit out of Koga.

Araki on the other hand cries at every little thing. She has some sort of mysterious physical condition from time to time. The first time she was mentioned here I think it was because she had to undergo surgery. But the same thing happened to Imamura before. She'd be in poor condition from time to time it was a rollercoaster with her but she also suffered an ACL accident iirc. Hopefully it's not chronic. She has really good potential.

Yamada cried when they won Empress Cup. That was the first time I've seen her cry.

I just checked and Airi wore that thing in the Friendly match against PHI last June. I can't remember what real NT matches she dressed for but it appears she's always worn it

update

Here she is with Minnesaota

I'm 90% sure it's this

Quote from Phoenix

Airi needs to talk to Miyu and tell her that's a thing and stop over bandaging her legs with tape

I'm no expert but I used that type of brace for rollerskating don't judge me lmao. It's a shock brace but it goes really tight on the legs which would make it hell for a volleyball player to move around in much less jump wearing that kind of brace. There could be a different type that allows more mobility but I don't know.

Quote from sitenoise

This cast thing she wears

i think that's just leg compression sleeves but she wore it higher and added a knee brace over it like what basketball players use

its not this type cos i know this shit is hard to jump in it literally squeezes the leg but maybe something like that

Oh damn Saga won again

Is the setter of Kurobe Yoshino Sato's sister? she's not terrible but not the kind that makes it easy for spikers

Quote from sean1

lmao at mayu's face

She's actually very lowkey pouty now not like before when she looked like she wanted to throw a chair or something

Middles aside, Ishii doesn't want to lose to Koga. That's how it's always been with those 2.

Quote from sitenoise

Wasn't Sakae Hisamitsu's main setter the season they went undefeated?

No in 2017/18 it was Chizuru Kotoh

Quote from Phoenix

Remember when Kulan said that her apartment is loaded with rice thanks to all the rice she won for VOM. I think she started donating some of it

KRob was so happy when she won that mini rice cooker

hammy was aiming for koga

I'm guessing she doesn't want her retirement to be buried once another veteran retires by the end of the season.

And so begins the Rio gang retirement. I thought I'd be dreading this the most since Saori retired but I'm kind of looking forward to it now.

Do you have any of Naz's jersey?

Quote from Phoenix

If they win tomorrow they should wear a bunny suit

jk

That sounds like something dishonorable that only Victorina would do

Quote from Rhaemon

Dude. Where in my reply did I say i wish she was attacked by his fans? I just stated some possible explanation why no one is coming after Sarina (which is good btw). No need to read too much into it.

WHY would they have any reason to attack an athlete's partner? that's my point. They're athletes....

Koga is undoubtedly bigger than Nishida in Japan even Ran is bigger than Nishida in Japan. Nishida is not ikemen level like Yanagida he's well known as youtube's favorite monster of the vertical jump and the guy that inspired haikyu

Quote from Rhaemon

Koga is more popular than him in Japan? I thought it's the other way around. I think no one will attack her too because she also happens to be Saori 2.0. The women's team captain and an "ace." If she weren't, I bet she'll be disliked by his fans.

Why do you want the fans to dislike their partners so badly? they're not kpop idols lol it sounds moronic for anyone to hate an athlete's partner. They're athletes you look up to them because they play well

Did Kobe's fangirls get mad when he married his wife? nah man
