This year, Nekoma welcomed a sunny, cheerful first-year who immediately stood out: Iwaizumi Junya.
After all, who shows up and loudly declares, "I'm a genius! I'm going to be the ace!"?
His confidence made everyone curious about him.
After spending time with him, they decided that whether he was a genius could wait.
Was this guy a little too confident, and kind of a jerk?
No... he was a full-blown menace.
Kuroo got talked into styling his cowlick like a grown man's hair, only to get mocked for it: !
Kenma was tricked by Junya and nearly dyed his hair green: ...
Yamamoto was so dazzled by Junya's flattery that he lost his bearings and started calling themselves the confident, mischievous twins: "Oh yeah!"
Yaku was picked up and spun around by Junya: !!!
Even Coach Nekomata couldn't escape his mischief.
He could be a real menace, but when he turned on the sweet talk and sincerity, he made everyone grin from ear to ear.
As a result, the Nekoma team lived in a state of daily turmoil.
Junya, dead serious: "I'll save everyone from this mess. As for who caused it, don't worry about that!"
The cats, exhausted in body and spirit from the high-energy border collie hawk: "Junya, don't run! I'll beat you to a pulp!"
Junya, with lightning-fast feet and greased heels: "Nyeh nyeh nyeh, you can't catch me!"
After all, hawks are the fastest birds in flight~
Junya brought his mischievous antics onto the court.
"I'm going to hit a straight shot!" Junya loudly announced his strategy right in front of the opposing team.
Kenma, who had endured his tricks enough to guess what was really going on at a glance, covered his face: "You really are the worst."
Opponents: "He's lying! It has to be a lie, he's trying to trick us!"
Then Junya really did hit a straight shot.
"Oh dear, oh dear. Ignore a genius's words, and you'll regret it." Junya stood proudly with his hands on his hips.
Opponents: "You little punk! How dare you play us!"
"Remember, I'll hit a cross-court shot next." Junya blurted out his strategy again.
The wiser opponents: "Cross-court, right? I'll block you for sure!"
Then Junya suddenly switched from a cross-court shot to a tip.
"Huh? No way, no way. You actually believed me? We're opponents, you know." Junya looked utterly shocked.
The opponents, now out for blood: "You dared to trick us again! I'm going to kill that little menace!"
The Nekoma team stared helplessly at the sky: No joy in winning, only despair at having embarrassed themselves in front of the whole country.
The team had gradually, and under duress, grown used to their high-energy border collie hawk. They eagerly hoped for a few well-behaved, obedient new students.
But then...
"I'm going to become the ace!"
The same familiar confidence, the same familiar words.
They looked at Junya, who had the look of a hawk Aotian, then at Lev, who looked like a cat Aotian.
The Nekoma team, forced to relive the past, wished they could kick their legs up and ascend to heaven on the spot: It's bad enough having one menace on our hands! And now there's another?!
