I thought about how I dropped Haikyuu after the first episode (I pick it back up later dw) and how I didn’t drop Diamond no Ace when the main character, Sawamura is the VERY definition of second hand embarrassment.
Back to back to back, nonstop, this man made me feel embarrassed AND IM THE VIEWER?!
I kid you not, first episode, this man goes to visit this high school since he was scouted and sees the third year bullying a current first year pitcher. He goes while laughing “Ayo, fat man, how are you even playing baseball with that belly? You’re going pro?? AS IF!!”
I—Mknd you, this guy lost his first round in the tournament, no points scores. He was only scouts for his moving ball WHICH HE DOESNT EVEN KNOW ABOUT HIMSELF. Only the scouter sees his own potential.
THE CONFIDENCE THIS MAN HAS TO SAY THAT TO SOMEONE GOING PRO! I—I could never.
Also, I wasn’t joking about the embarrassment being back to back. We find out that the only pitch Sawamurs can throw is…a fucking fastball. I—
Not only did he shit on a third year in high school (he’s just graduating junior high), he can ONLY throw a fastball. (There is the thing where his fastballs moves the more he throws but that’s not the point)
He ends up going there AND ON THE FIRST DAY OF PRACTICE, THIS FUCKER—This motherfucker slept in. Not only that, but he got caught trying to sneak into practice.
I—This fuck. NOT TO MENTION, this man (after only seclusively running laps) screams at the top of lungs TO THE FUCKING COACH “I’M GOING TO BE THE ACE!! No one wants that position more than me!!”
A fucking freshman—no, high school hasn’t even started yet, so incoming freshman with only a fastball in his repertoire. Slept in. Talks back to the coach.
I—EVEN SECOND YEAR SAWAMURA IS EMBARRASSED AT HIMSELF!!
So, I’m like “How the fuck did I not drop this series and instead dropped Haikyuu???”
Then I realized.
Yuji Terajima is a fucking genius.
He made Miyuki Kazuya to make sure person stay no matter how cringe first year Sawamura. He knew people would love him so he went full out on the second hand embarrassment.
And I bought into it too.

Crush Headcannons
Pt. 2
Feat. Sawamura, Kuramochi, Miyuki, Yuki, Isashiki
Warnings: none
Sawamura
He’s just so so cute, mwah, I love him
Now that that’s out of the way
If he has a crush on someone it’s probably pretty obvious
Is not afraid to talk to you at all
Will invite you to eat lunch with him
He’s constantly around them, bugging them
Will invite you to every game
“Do you have plans this Saturday? No? Great, come to my game! I’m the lead off pitcher!”
Is totally not showing off for you
If you’re watching he will put his entire being into his batting, does that really help? No, but he’ll come up with some excuse to save face
Will probably try things on you that he’s seen in manga
Will say cheesy lines that totally don’t still work on you
Kuramochi
I think he would act pretty normally around you, just either a bit quieter around you or a little louder
His slightly more awkward around you
He also tries to be way funnier, if Sawamura is in sight he is now getting picked on
Tries to suggest you coming to his game like, he thinks it would be cool if you went, but you totally don’t have to, it would just made him happy, but not like in a weird way, just cause you guys are friends and-
Concise is not in his vocabulary when he’s around you
He’s much more confident while playing baseball
If you go see him play and they win!! And then you say how cool he looked he will be grinning like an idiot the entire bus ride home, shut up Miyuki you can’t take this away from him
Miyuki
You will never be able to tell
No one will, except for Kuramochi who can sense the slight attitude change from Miyuki when you’re near
Miyuki becomes slightly meaner when you’re around
Whether he’s teasing you or the people and you
“You can go to the game if you want, I don’t really care.”
He so fucking does
Regardless of whether anyone is on base or not, he is making plays when you’re watching
Did you see that triple he just got??
Would probably use school work as an excuse to talk to you
If you need help he’s willing but if you’re really good at a certain subject he may be requiring your services~
Yuki
The only person who knows he likes you is Isashiki
And he only knows because Yuki told him, but now that he knows he can definitely tell
He makes an effort to talk to you everyday, even when he has nothing to say
He’ll find any minor excuse to speak to you
"Do you need help carrying that to the science room?"
It was a stack of papers
Acts like he's not showing off when you're around but that was the best game he's had the entire season, knocked two balls out of the park
If you compliment his playing he'll be very humble about it but he's grinning on the inside because your words mean a lot to him
Probably won't go very long without confessing to you, if you ever suspect that he likes you, expect a confession soon
Isashiki
Literally LOSES THE ABILITY TO TALK IN FRONT OF YOU
cannot think of anything to say when you’re near
He feels so awkward around you and hates himself for it
Will eventually loosen up when he remembers that you’re a person and not a higher being
Says things so bluntly that it makes you laugh but he wasn’t trying to be funny??? Whatever works
DEFINITELY SHOWS OFF WHEN YOU’RE WATCHING HIM PLAY
Will never invite you to watch him play, will only suggest it
If you ever compliment him he is a blushing and stuttering mess, returning the compliment
Is accidentally so hilarious in front of you, not just with what he says, but his reactions
If you sneak up on him, he will scream, and now his face is red, and he can't talk but it's definitely not because of you
Everyone knows he likes you, but he won't admit it
The team teases him relentlessly, but also tries to help him in their own twisted ways
