In the end who needs memories?
Or a semi coherent rant on ch 391 and how to develop a concept Furudate-style.

Sure, Furudate didnât come up with the method. The ancient Greeks got it first. Then it was Hegel who defined it: thesis - antithesis - synthesis.
Introduce a CONCEPT - question it with the COUNTER-CONCEPT - resolve the conflict with the RESOLUTION that unifies them both.

But Furudateâs greatest talent is that they do it properly. They do it RIGHT.
CONCEPT: WE DONâT NEED MEMORIES
Inarizaki is a team that doesnât rest on past victories. In order to challenge themselves non-stop, they leave their past, their memories behind.

This mentality allows them to charge ahead without looking back, to try things they havenât tried before. This mentality allows them to become, perhaps, the greatest challenger.
COUNTER-CONCEPT: MEMORIES MATTER
The first seed of the counter-concept is found within the team. Kita-san is someone who seeks to do things right and without mistakes. And he achieves this by doing things right EVERY DAY, with repetition, consistency, and care.

Kita-san probably is the one who understands the most the adage âRome wasnât built in a dayâ.
He understands how important the past is, since the past leads to the present so that the present can lead to the future.

Then there is Karasunoâs freak duo, who carry with them lessons from past defeats.
Their triumph over the twinsâ unrehearsed set is the biggest counter to the âwe donât need memoriesâ concept.

RESOLUTION: WE DONâT NEED MEMORIES, BECAUSE THEY ARE ALREADY INGRAINED IN US
We donât need memories, because memories are always with us. All we need are muscles â what memories ultimately become.
We donât need memories, because memories are always with us. All we need are muscles â what memories ultimately become.
The twinâs loss turns out to be the confirmation of the resolution: they lost because they havenât yet got the memories to build the muscles.
Once the muscles are built, they win.
Once the muscles are built, they win.
(How far did Furudate go to emphasise that memories are always with us?
Pretty far.)
Pretty far.)
Of course, Furudate already introduced the resolution at the same freaking time at the initial concept.
But just as muscles take time to build, concepts take time (and repetition and consistency and care) to take roots and to be properly understood.

To conclude, let me leave you with this: muscles need more than just memories (from hardships, from losses) to grow; they need food.
And Kita-san helps Atsumu grow his muscles both through Atsumuâs memories of him through his food.
Because Kita-san've always got their backs.
