This Olympic match mirrors a key scene from the beloved volleyball manga as Japan faces Argentina in the Olympic final. This moment is only mentioned in the manga, where Japan’s Karasuno High School duo Hinata and Kageyama face off against their long-time rival Oikawa (representing Argentina). Although the winner of the Olympic match was never revealed on the page, some fans were willing to believe that setter Oikawa won.

Unfortunately for Argentina, that was not the real game today. Japan defeated Argentina 3-1 in the qualifying Group C match at the Arena Sud in Paris.

Therefore, it is not surprising that the opening theme of the anime adaptation is “FLY HIGH”. Haikyu!, immediately after Japan’s victory. (The anime’s other theme song, “Phoenix,” is played during the warm-up.) Fans are even seen wearing Nekoma and Inarizaki towels, representing the rival high schools in the manga.
Oikawa, you will always be number one in our hearts, but today is not your day. At least we’ll always have comics.
