Ryujin Nippon— from 11th last year, to 5th ranking on this year’s VNL. Advancing to QFs is one of their main goals, and now that they have achieved it, a new goal to reach will be formed for next year. 🔥

Waseda boys and their 2022 VNL stint together ✨ we’re proud of you, boys! Thank you for the hard work!
203
Not sure if google translate was correct, but it says here that captain Ishikawa already went home to Japan, probably even before the quarterfinals. If so, Yuki is most definitely rehabilitating as we speak!

Chuo Sports wrote an article about their alumni, Yuki Ishikawa (Faculty of Law), Masahiro Sekita (Faculty of Law) and Shoma Tomita (Faculty of Letters), about their participation in the 2022 VNL.

Kentaro: “As middles, let’s work hard together too.”
Thank you for your hard work in this year’s VNL! Gou, i’m so proud of how you introduced yourself in the international scene. 😁👏

The end of 2022 VNL journey for Japan. They have achieved one of their goals, which is to qualify in QFs, and they had better results than last year. Thank you so much for your hard work, team!

The horns are a norm for Iran fans. Even though Team Iran isn’t playing, they will blow their horns, regardless where they are. If you’re pissed off at this, you should see the Asian Club. I had to mute the game the whole time because i can’t concentrate on the game anymore. 🥲

Yamauchi: “I can't do as good as Ishikawa, but I am the eldest, so I want to inspire the team and have a positive influence outside of the game so that we can fight as a team until the end.”
Ganbare, Captain Yamauchi! We’re counting on you! 🔥🔥🔥

Remember when Ran also said “I love you” to Nakkun when he announced that he has cancer? 🥺
It’s always the “I love you” from Ran to Nakkun 😭✨ he treasures his Fujii-san so much 😭
213
I remember Yuki also got injured in 2017, and wasn’t able to take Chuo in their 4th consecutive inkare championship. On 2018, he thought his injury is healed, he overworked himself, causing him to miss the 1st & 2nd weeks of VNL because of the same injury. Yuki Ishikawa please 😭
214
Yamauchi will be the acting captain for VNL final round in the absence of Ishikawa. Ganbare, Nippon! Get well soon, Yuki. 😓 twitter.com/gyunyusuga/sta…

Captain Ishikawa will miss the VNL final round because he sprained his left ankle from their practice last July 18. 😰

Coach Blain added to the list of Italy’s complain list. He literally SHOUTED protest in public (team’s hotel lobby) that it’s so hot in the training hall. 🥵
Coach being a dad as usual because his kids are too polite to voice out their concerns. 😭

I don’t know Yuzuru in a deep level, but to anyone who has been supporting Japanese’ culture, be it jdrama, anime, music industry and sports for many years like me, i know that Yuzuru has brought an enormous glory to Japan’s fs world. Good luck on your next journey, Yuzuru! 💐⛸

A (probably unhelpful #2) Guide for New Ryujin Nippon Members (AVC ver); thread
※ I didn't include Yuga Tarumi yet even though he joined the training camp since I referred to JVA's list of registered AVC members.

Oohhh so Yuji didn’t know that the kid he gave the ball to was Ishikawa’s nephew! All along i thought Yuji handed the ball to the kid because he knew it’s his Yuki-san’s relative. 🥺
This is legit affinity 😭✨ twitter.com/v_kazuma141/st…

Still not over how emotional Yuki was when he and Shimizu hugged after their last match in Olympics (vs BRA), which was also Shimizu’s last hurrah in the national team. 🥺
