Nojima appeared as a guest on the show as the three talked about their respective characters, especially the Inarizaki captain, Kita. They also spoke about the various team captains, focusing on the Nekoma vs. Nohebi match where Nojima remarked it would be really cool to pull off combination moves like Kuroo and Kenma.Semmuel5656@semmuel5656To this moment Mann.....From the first time I watched it until up this point every time I see this clip gives me shivers#Haikyuu #JumpFesta2022 youtu.be/tsVyHZs-KAU09:45 AM · Dec 18, 2021To this moment Mann.....From the first time I watched it until up this point every time I see this clip gives me shivers#Haikyuu #JumpFesta2022 youtu.be/tsVyHZs-KAU https://t.co/fGchBDtXMBAs they moved on from Kita to Daichi, and then to Kuroo, finally arriving at Tooru Oikawa, Ishikawa jokingly referred to him as “a refreshing prince," and commented on voice actor Daisuke Namikawa’s ability to switch between Oikawa being comedic and becoming an intimidating presence.They also discussed the character of Bokuto, and his voice actor, Ryohei Kimura. Bokuto’s character was an anomaly for Kimura, who usually plays quieter roles.Kseniya @ Haikyuu Jump Festa translations@TrianaNeroishikawa: bokuto and kita are such polar characters. what would you do if you were told to play bokuto instead?nojima: idk, "we don't need the cheers"? or "give me all the cheers"?

[quoting inarizaki's banner]sdlkjgbdszlgbfgngNojima stated that watching Fukurodani feels like watching the Inarizaki team’s future, since Atsumu is similar to Bokuto, and Atsumu would later become the captain of Inarizaki with Osamu as vice-captain.They ended the broadcast with a display of special Haikyuu!! merchandise for Jump Festa 2022.Haikyuu!! 10th anniversary projectsradiojhero@RadioJHero#Haikyuu #JumpFesta202210:35 AM · Dec 18, 202131#Haikyuu #JumpFesta2022 https://t.co/r35VyvERKfJump Studio RED announced ten new projects in the works on the occasion of the 10th anniversary of the Haikyuu!! series.

With the second part of Haikyuu!! season 4 and the Nekoma-focused OVA having released in 2020, and fans impatiently waiting for news of the next season, the final of these 10th anniversary projects just might be the announcement for a movie installment in the franchise, if not the season itself.
