Oikawa’s Toss In S2E24

Oikawa’s toss in S2E24

I just wanted to analyze the iwaoi scene where Oikawa tosses across to Iwaizumi (who doesn’t score) so here I go! (pls bear in mind that this is only my personal interpretation of the scene)

image

When Oikawa was pointing to the direction he was going to toss towards, he placed absolute trust in Iwaizumi that he would definitely hit it no matter what; as he said before, Iwaizumi always hits Oikawa’s tosses without fail (some time in S1). It’s not that he placed a burden or responsibility on Iwaizumi, but that he believed and trusted that Iwaizumi would be able to hit it regardless.

image

Look at the way Oikawa’s tossing it and look at the trajectory of ball. That was an abrupt turn-and-toss added on to toss that was all performed in the blink of an eye, and he already tossed it so that the ball would fall perfectly at Iwaizumi’s peak spiking point by he time Iwaizumi ran directly forwards. Not only does this show pure skill and that it means Oikawa knows his playing style like the back of his hand, but it also suggests that he made Iwaizumi’s spiking easier by tossing it so that he only needed to run straight up to spike it.

image

Oikawa pointed and tossed perfectly to him, thus placing all of his trust on him that he would score, that he would make it. It almost seems as if Oikawa himself didn’t even think much about himself in that moment, and I think that reflects how well they know each other and the perfect synergy they’ve adopted throughout years of training together. Oikawa did whatever he could in order to ensure Iwaizumi could hit the ball, which ultimately involved him crashing into the side benches afterwards.

image

When Oikawa got back up again so quickly after falling into the chairs, I was slightly confused at why he recovered so rapidly, as each team is only allowed to touch the ball 3 times, and no player can be in contact with the ball more than once before it goes over the net (or so I believe), in which Oikawa had just tossed the ball. And then I realized. It’s uncertainty and fear. Oikawa is scared that he didn’t provide the perfect toss for Iwaizumi. He’s so anxious to the point where he doesn’t even look at where his feet are positioned before he gets up, only to fall again by tripping on the cloth. It goes to show that he wants to get up and ensure that Iwaizumi manages a successful spike regardless of how he is himself.

image

And then there’s his face; he’s desperate and scared. I realized that he might’ve looked this way because he was afraid that he HIMSELF didn’t toss the ball properly, and didn’t trust himself that he had made the perfect toss for Iwaizumi to hit it, despite their perfect mental sync and synergy. I guess it just goes to show how even though Oikawa is evidently talented and highly skilled, there are still moments when he wavers and cannot rely solely on his instinct and experience, and there will be times that their entire team may lose (which they do, but that’s not the point) because of this fear, perhaps.

It’s not as if he doesn’t have the whole layout of the court and Iwaizumi’s spiking habits memorized, but it may be that he doesn’t trust himself enough to acknowledge that the toss was perfect for Iwaizumi and literally “dead on”. Perhaps it goes to show that Oikawa isn’t as confident and self-aware as he may appear to be, and that he has yet to acknowledge and realize the full extent of his ability.

The Difference Between MK(1412) and DC

I just love how different KID is portrayed in the different series lol.

Kaito KID in Detective Conan, aka in the eyes of Conan/Shinichi: A mysterious genius who is always prepared for everything. Nothing can surprise him or shake him up.
