komori motoya is really cool and underrated and i love talking about him so i'm gonna compile all of my thoughts and make them into this mess because i love talking about my comfort characters on twitter dot com: a thread
1. he has a middle part. so powerful. ahead of his time. innovative. beautiful. tiktok white boys want what he has. bonus point for his little rantaro amami-esque tufts of hair on the top of his head. i want to eat him up in one bite.
2. his eyebrows look like little BEANS they look like ROLLY POLLIES i ADORE THEM. peak character design is a goofy grin and fun eyebrows. oh my god. i love you so much motoya. never change.
3. look at him. he is just a little boy. a little baby. he will never do anything wrong. in the second picture he isnt a baby but i love the face he's making. very cute. very fun. serving us very much koganegawa energy.
4. hes such a little shit. he'll have you convinced he's the darling of the sakusa-komori family collective but the jokes on you! you've been played! all liberos are inherently scheming little goofymen and motoya is absolutely not an exception to this.
5. the best libero in the nation as a 2nd year? are you joking me? i wish we could've seen itachiyama actually play because i rly wanna see him and sakusa in action doing what they're best at and not just this u19 business. i want to see motoya DIG! DIG THAT BALL FUNKY MAN!
6. his ship potential is off the charts. i've worked it down to a science. with the exception of washikomo, all komori pairings are a matter of which party is the asshole amplifier and which is the amplified asshole. allow me to explain below.
atsukomo: komori is the enabler, atsumu is the shithead
sunakomo: suna is the enabler, komori is the shithead
komonoya: komori is the enabler, noya is the shithead
komoyaku: symbiosis
komoshou: komori is the enabler, daishou is the shithead
sunakomo: suna is the enabler, komori is the shithead
komonoya: komori is the enabler, noya is the shithead
komoyaku: symbiosis
komoshou: komori is the enabler, daishou is the shithead
as you can see from this non-exhaustive spread, in most cases komori is the one spurring his partner on and allowing them to live a life of wreckage while he himself is on the sidelines sipping a frozen mojito as the world burns. do you not see how genius that is.
7. sakusa kiyoomi is his cousin. i don't even need to tell you why that's so swag. he probably has so much blackmail on him. they are so small tiny baby i could hold each of them in one hand and have two hands full of babies. actively holding back tears.
8. ejp is super fun and i like them a lot and by liking the unit i like the individual players which means i like komori so that's my circular logic for the evening.
tl;dr stan komori motoya he's so cool and definitely popular in tokyo private school boys volleyball circles and everyone loves him so you should too. he smiles like a little froggy. i adore him so much.
