the thing about tanaka and kiyoko is that kiyoko was interested in tanaka and she shows it in very subtle ways. its not a kind of romance where things are very obvious. she shows quiet support of tanaka and believes in him, and he cares for her very dearly.

@SofiaHotakainen the giant posters that were put up in the stations of tokyo recently use the word 宿縁 or shukuen...its a word that means fate. it implies a "connection from a previous life". another word for fate is 運命 or unmei...but they specifically used shukuen.

yang is associated with white and yin is associated with black. there is a significance to hinata being in black, and kageyama being in white. they take on each others attributes in order to be their strongest selves. they are each other strongest ally.
