Monster Generation Special

The Japanese representatives have been announced, and 11 players from the Monster Generation were in the list! Introducing the hottest players with a questionnaire.

Pay attention to Hinata and Kageyama, the Karasuno combination!

The “Monster Generation” who has entered the Japanese national team is from the 3-generation monster players from Ushijima Wakatoshi to Kageyama Tobio! After showing off and playing central roles in their teams as part of the V.League, the two people to look out for are Kageyama and Hinata Shouyou who have lead their teams since their first year at Karasuno High School.
