[1/?] Haikyuu S1E11 “Decision” vs Hyper Projection Engeki Haikyuu Karasuno, Fukkatsu (Revival)!

The setter dilemma.

aka how I fell in love with Sugawara Koushi’s character, and how Hiroki Ino became my favorite butai actor ever.

Anime vs Haisute! Let’s go! 🧡
[2/?] In the anime, most of the beginning was focused on how Ukai is receiving Suga’s message. We didn’t get to see a lot of Suga’s expressions here.

It’s different in Haisute, because it’s a stage and you can see everything. So of course we saw how Hiroki Ino acted this bit. +
[3/?]

Ino is very good with his minute expressions, and his eyes have a ready glint that catches the stage lights.

Plus his delivery: just the right touch of reluctance and fear. And plenty of bravery. He’s uncertain how it’ll be received, but firm that it must be said. +
[4/?] This is as much as Ukai’s scene as it was Suga’s.

This bit is very poignant. It’s the part when Suga “sacrificed” his slot for the sake of the team.

(Not really sacrificed but more on made it clear to Ukai how the choice should be made).
[5/?] Suga is firm. He knows what is at stake. “Sacrificing” his slot didn’t mean he’s giving up. Suga is fighting in his own way.
[6/?] This was how Hiroki Ino showed how Suga, an 18-year old, is mature enough to handle a decision that basically cut his playing time.

He’s imploring Ukai to understand his desperation to reach the stage of their dreams alongside his comrades.

Iyak na ako ahahhuhu +
[7/?] But amidst all these, Suga is aware that he might be perceived as presumptuous, and is humble enough to apologise in advance.

(I wish we had a Haisute closeup here ahaha) +
[8/?] Ukai, like all of us, was shookt. And he’s probably super relieved too. I believe Ukai is one of the most emphatic coach in all sports anime.

So from several heavy lines, we get some comic reactions. LOOK AT INO AHAHAHA.

He’s actually really funny as heck irl +
[9/?] This scene, we didn’t get in the anime. WHICH IS A SHAME.

But anyways. Hiroki Ino’s Suga was uncertain how he will be received (look at his posture here) and was shocked at how Ukai reacted.

He’s about ready to cry in disbelief (Ino can cry easily onstage). His eyes T.T +
[10/?] Ukai, and maybe a lot of the readers of the manga and viewers of the anime, acknowledged that they may have underestimated Suga.

And Suga is thankful that he’s been heard and recognised.
[11/?] Another scene they didn’t have in the anime, but I’m thankful they added on the stage.

I’ll let this and the next batch of screencaps to speak for themselves. +
[12/?] Suga T.T You did well T.T
[13/?] BONUS: And so Daichi and Asahi found another reason to win it all.
[14/14] And that is all. Of course Ino is just one of the three awesome actors who played Suga 🥰
