let's begin with something people love to criticize the most about atsumu - his cockiness
atsumu's famous quote (chapter 219) "those who can't hit my tosses are nothing but scrubs" everyone took as incredibly narcissistic, but if you actually pay attention, atsumu's goal is to give 120% of himself so his spikers could be at the top of their game.
atsumu hates lazy people, those who slack off, those who aren't on his level and don't even try to be. that's why he calls out osamu on his bad day and why he says he hates playing against teams who don't give it their all.
all atsumu ever did was give his best because he's well aware that his position in team might just be the most important one. if the rest of his teammates aren't working just as hard as him, then what's the point?
in karasuno vs inarizaki match atsumu does an amazing overhand toss that has everyone dumbfounded & even the captain of the opposing team clapping for him. he does the same thing in the jackadlers match. everyone is amazed by his dedication to win, you'll never catch him slipping
atsumu's the happiest when his team can catch up to him in terms of hard work; when they use his incredible tosses' full potential and score. he thinks of his promise to osamu that he will be the happier one when he realizes he has all those monster spikers dancing to his tune.
atsumu has hard work and astounding plays that we witnessed during the karasuno vs inarizaki match to back up his cockiness. atsumu walks onto the court knowing he's the one most willing to win which also makes him the strongest one. at one point, kita calls him a monster.
atsumu is the unofficial dad of jackals; he remembers aran and how much trouble he caused him and promises to do a good job with bokuto, hinata and sakusa just as he did with him and osamu. he wants to keep those three nuisances in check
who can appreciate a player filled with energy and dedication that hinata is more than atsumu himself? the first thing he does is show him off in the jackadlers match and proudly call him his wing spiker. atsumu gives hinata all the love he deserves which makes him the best boy
when atsumu sees something amazing, he appreciates it and wants to pull it off himself. he does that the first time when he sees hinata's and kageyama's quick and does it with osamu with zero preparation during the karasuno vs inarizaki game.
atsumu is a hard worker, he is a genius just like oikawa, skillful just as kageyama, calculated like kenma and confident more than anyone else. he knows what he's doing and he does it damn good.
also sakusa is literally in love with him and we all trust sakusa so in conclusion atsumu is the best boy
SORRY if i made any grammatical errors im only a brainless atsumu fucker after all
lemme promote my sakuatsu fic wait
