10. Ubugawa High

The Team Of Servers

Manager Eri Miyanoshita
Ace NA

Among the five squads attending the Tokyo training camp were Ubugawa, Nekoma, Karasuno, Fukurodani, and Shinzen. Although their specific abilities aren’t extensively discussed, it’s evident that Ubugawa possesses considerable strength as a team.

In many matches, they outplayed both Shinzen and Karasuno. What truly set them apart was their exceptional serve strategy, a potent tool in volleyball. A team with top-tier servers is bound to excel consistently in the game of volleyball.

9. Date Tech High

The Impregnable Wall

Team Captain Kenji Futakuchi
Manager Mai Nametsu
Ace Kenji Futakuchi

The Miyagi-prefecture-based Date Tech School stands out as one of the most formidable institutions in its region. Its primary advantage lies in its exceptional defensive skills, a trait exemplified by the tranquil colossus, Takanobu Aone.

Working together, Aone isn’t solo; he’s assisted by Fukiage, and with all team members prepared to lend a hand, they prove tough to overcome. Their blocking skills are noteworthy and diverse – Aone excels in reading blocks, while Futakuchi adds an unpredictable element that can turn the tide.

8. Aoba Johsai

Tōru Oikawa Is A Genius

Team Captain Tōru Oikawa
Coach Nobuteru Irihata
Ace Hajime Iwaizumi

The Aoba Johsai team, hailing from Miyagi prefecture, are among the most formidable in the region, often squaring off against the top-tier school, Shiratorizawa. Their team is versatile, excelling in all areas, yet their star player and captain, Tōru Oikawa, stands out with his captivating charisma as the undisputed ace of the squad.

Oikawa is an incredibly potent weapon, boasting some truly formidable serves that significantly boost the team’s offensive might. However, they are not a one-man army; teammates like Iwaizumi and first-year player Kindaichi, who was once a teammate of Kageyama, also play crucial roles in rounding out the team.

7. Nekoma High

Teamwork’s The Name Of The Game

Team Captain Tetsurō Kuroo
Coach Yasufumi Nekomata
Ace Taketora Yamamoto

Nekoma doesn’t have a single star player, instead they function exceptionally as a team. However, they brought in Lev Haiba, a remarkable athlete who stands out somewhat uniquely. Yet, apart from him, the team effectively utilizes all their individual talents.

Everything is skillfully coordinated by the seemingly unassuming Kenma, who, despite not appearing impressive at first glance, possesses an extraordinary intellect. His uncanny knack for dissecting games mentally allows Nekoma to emerge victorious in numerous matches. Additionally, they have the steadying influence of team captain Kuroo, whose maturity and expertise provide stability to the team.

6. Fukurodani Academy

Bokuto Is A Mercurial Talent

Team Captain Kōtarō Bokuto
Manager Yukie Shirofuku
Ace Kōtarō Bokuto

At Fukurodani Academy, there’s an exceptional spiker in the national scene, specifically within his age bracket, named Bokuto. Accompanying him are two other robust players, Akaashi and Konoha, who also exhibit impressive skills.

Fukurodani’s main issue lies with Bokuto himself. Though he possesses exceptional skills, he can be unpredictable and his performance varies greatly depending on his mood. When he’s in top form, he’s capable of incredible feats; however, when he’s not feeling motivated, the team suffers significantly. Unfortunately, despite the rest of the team being robust, they tend to struggle when Bokuto isn’t performing at his best.

5. Kamomedai High

The Real Little Giant

Team Captain Aikichi Suwa
Coach Aaron Murphy
Ace Kōrai Hoshiumi

Unfortunately, the Haikyuu! anime doesn’t show any authentic matches involving Kamomedai High. However, it’s evident from the manga that Kamomedai boasted a genuine giant in Hoshiumi.

In a simpler and more conversational style: The tiny powerhouse, known for his extraordinary jumping skills, is the star player of his team, making him a formidable opponent for Hinata. In the comic book, they’re the ones who dashed Karasuno’s hopes, and their victory was well-deserved thanks to their exceptional blocking skills and Hoshiumi’s strength.

4. Shiratorizawa Academy

Miyagi’s Strongest

Team Captain Wakatoshi Ushijima
Coach Tanji Washijō
Ace Wakatoshi Ushijima

I’d be thrilled to share my perspective on Shiratorizawa, a team that ruled the Miyagi prefecture and consistently qualified for Nationals. To add to their prestige, they boasted one of Japan’s most promising talents – Ushiwaka. This prodigious wing spiker was like a one-man force, exhibiting an unbreakable will and versatility that made him capable of delivering in all aspects of the game.

Besides him, there was Tendo, a formidable adversary capable of reading his opponents effectively, serving as a powerful blocker. Behind Ushiwaka stood Goshiki, the one destined to succeed Ushiwaka as the team’s ace. With such a powerhouse lineup, it comes as no surprise that they rank among the strongest teams in the series.

3. Karasuno High

The Mentality Monsters

Team Captain Daichi Sawamura
Manager Kiyoko Shimizu
Ace Asahi Azumane

From where I stand as a passionate follower, it’s all too simple to underestimate the might of Karasuno. They aren’t just any team; they’re a powerhouse with an offense that ranks among the very best. Azumane, Tanaka, and Hinata are formidable spikers who can send the ball soaring towards victory, while Kageyama, their genius setter, orchestrates it all like a maestro conducts an orchestra.

Despite not boasting an overly impressive defensive skillset, they possess remarkable defensive prowess. What truly sets Karasuno apart, however, is their indomitable spirit and relentless pursuit of excellence. In the face of adversity, they demonstrate an uncanny ability to rise above and find a path forward.

2. Inarizaki High

The Miya Twins Are Unstoppable

Team Captain Atsumu Miya
Coach Norimune Kurosu
Ace Aran Ojiro

In the volleyball team of Karasuno, the partnership between Hinata and Kageyama is often emphasized as a key strength. However, the bond between the rival twin brothers Atsumu and Otsumu Miya, if not, may even surpass that of the main characters in terms of effectiveness on the court.

In another match against Karasuno, it’s highly probable that Inarizaki would emerge victorious. The Miya twins alone are extraordinary, but their teammates, each one a kind of prodigy, make them formidable opponents, earning them the title of the most formidable challengers.

1. Itachiyama Institute

Sakusa Is One Of The Best Players In Japan

Team Captain Tsukasa lizuna
Coach NA
Ace Tsukasa lizuna

Itachiyama can be seen as the formidable antagonist who consistently garners attention, and even before their entrance, it’s evident that they possess great strength. Fielding a full team against Itachiyama would prove challenging, but spectators witness players who excel in their respective positions.

From Sakusa, recognized as the premier high school spiker, all the way to Komori, acknowledged as the foremost high school libero, this team boasts an impressive lineup. Given their roster’s stellar quality across every position, it’s no surprise they hold their esteemed title.
