Haikyu!! is a meme treasure trove. Who knew volleyball had such potential? With a wide array of facial expressions and personalities, it stands to reason that fans of the show would generate a meme goldmine.

Friendly competition, the spirit of teamwork, self-improvement, and friendship come together in this action-packed sports anime, but all that means is that the meme potential is endless! Luckily too, because fans get to see their favorite characters in a new and refreshing light. Let’s dive into the more relatable memes, and check out just how well these beloved volleyball players capture their intended sentiment.

Life…

It’s like giving yourself a high-five in the face, only more destructive. This is the spitting image of what most people feel when life hits them in unexpected ways. It is impossible to be prepared for everything, so when life throws a curve, it tends to hit in the face. Hinata is a straight-up pro when it comes to taking a ball to the face.

When life becomes too much, it’s not unusual for it to feel like a volleyball is hitting someone in the face. If the indent is any indication, Hinata’s life just spiked him in the head.

Run, But You Can’t Hide

Besides the fact that Hinata is clearly gearing up for a spike, his form is in peak condition for a Naruto run. Of course, it’s only a matter of time before Kageyama’s gaze zeros in on Hinata. Is it any surprise that Hinata got caught with Kageyama’s pin-point setter accuracy?

Who hasn’t mimicked the Naruto run? Hinata embodies these anime fans, while Kageyama represents everyone who catches them in the act. Those of the anime community might know what’s going down, but the uninitiated will no doubt feel rather lost.

Study Buddies

Whether in high school or college, passing exams is an essential part of most educations. Hinata, Kageyama, Ryu, and Nishinoya have minds filled with volleyball, which means their studies suffer. It’s even worse when their make-up tests interfere with their summer camp training. Good thing they’ll give their all if it means playing their beloved sport once again.

At least these four have each other to hunker down and study. Somehow, when you’re all in the same boat, it makes the obstacle less daunting. They’re still scoring points – academic points, that is.

Premium Procrastination

This meme captures that feeling of when a project’s deadline is fast approaching but it is ignored until two hours before it’s due. Of course, Oikawa’s response is supreme, but the sentiment is quite relatable. If it’s not imperative, a project will be put off till the end of time. Just like a good pile of to-be-read books or those Netflix series that are forever archived in one’s saved file.

This meme is only too appropriate with Oikawa, because of his easy-going and relaxed personality. He rarely feels pressure, even when an important volleyball game comes down to a single point.

Anime = Life

When anime consumes your life, nothing is more important than watching the next episode of your new favorite show. This meme is for those who stay up late into the night to binge; eventually, there is no point in sleeping because it is already so late. At least, sleep can wait until the sun begins to peek over the horizon to usher in the responsibilities of the day.

The satisfaction of watching anime feels like a great win, but the lack of sleep eventually takes its toll.

Sugamama!

Sugawara is the vice-captain of Karasuno’s volleyball team. His care and watchfulness over the team have earned him the title Sugamama by the many fans who watch Haikyu!!. This led to a meme all about momma Suga and how he’d react if someone dares mess with his baby crows.

Suga’s calm and peaceful demeanor makes him perfect volleyball mom material. He’s always there to provide guidance and a new perspective when his team finds itself in a pinch. When it comes down to it, his worrisome yet supportive nature lends him the status that goes along with his fan-approved nickname Sugamama.

Killer Cheer

Go, Go, Let’s Go, Let’s Go Datekō!

Admit it, you just said it like the crowd does when they are cheering on Date Tech from the stands. This catchy cheer is one that stays in your head far longer than seemingly possible. It’s only too funny in the meme, almost like a Marco/Polo effect except with Date Tech’s cheer.

Once one starts the cheer, they are almost compelled to finish it. The fact that it rhymes doesn’t help, either. Be honest, if there was a killer hunting you down, would you finish the cheer or leave it hanging?

Time Is A Social Construct

Kenma obviously understands the finer things in life, such as going to sleep whenever he feels like it. This meme is also accurate in that Kenma is a gamer, which means he’s probably stayed up until noon instead of falling asleep the previous night.

On the other hand, go-getters like Hinata are movers and shakers. They need to do something and stay active. We wouldn’t be surprised if Hinata was the early to bed, early to rise type. One can only guess how Hinata replies to Kenma when he states that time isn’t real.

Pro Adulting

For those entering the workforce, this meme should hit close to home. Most jobs won’t take a chance on someone unless they have a certain level of experience. One question that Ittetsu Takeda answers is, “Why should we hire you?”

This meme says it all. Of course, this is not the answer anyone wants to give in an interview, but it’s one that tends to pop up in the mind during these moments. It’s hard to feel confident in the job market when the competition is fierce.

True Value Of Friendship

Tsukishima Kei, otherwise known as Tsukki, is one savage teammate. He loves to provoke others and cannot help but throw shade, even at himself. One might even say that Tsukki is a bit of a tsundere, but don’t let him catch you saying that.

As Tsukki talks to himself in this one, his caring side battles it out with his savage side, although the winner is obvious. Tsukki wouldn’t be himself if he didn’t equally dish out his brand of snark to those around him. It’s a side of him that he has no wish to hide, and Tsukki even exploits it when it comes to game time. Sometimes, talking to yourself is the best way to understand yourself.
