________________________________________________________________________________

There's always a mom on every team/group and they are either responsible ones of the team or the one who looks after the members of the team. Make no mistake that there is only one type of 'mom' of the team, there are various types out there and suitable for different types of team.

Like in Karasuno, there is Sugawara Koshi who is the fun, chaotic, and sensible mom of the bunch. In the match, Sugawara is the emotional support of the team, none could break Karasuno's fighting spirit when their mom is around. Out of the match, he is the playful and chaotic mom who would support, play and help their children to open up their problems for him and his hubby to be able to help.

Or in Nekoma, Yaku Morisuke the tough love and no-nonsense mom. If you messed with him (especially about his height), then you would be hit, kicked even if you are his child. His way of showing his love and affection is through violence, the more he scowls you, the more he cares and worries about you. The one and only Tsundere Mom~

Or the Fukurodani where has the calmest and bluntest mom of the group, Akashi Kenji, the only one who can calm down their Captain. He always bluntly says the things on his mind but can bring out the best of everyone. He is the one who gives out the most practical advice in every situation.

There are more moms out there but there is a special case in the Inarizaki team as many have mistaken the mom of the team to be Kita Shinsuke. It is true that he kept the club's rooms clean and nit, taking care of the health of every member of the team and his mere presence puts pressure on his children to do better in what they are doing. However, he is not the one who is the emotional support of the team, not the one who pushes their members to pass their limit, not the one who pushes themselves to pass their limit to ensure the best performance for the team. You may ask,

'Who is it then?'

That would be Miya Atsumu! And wait! Before you could present a whole argument in the comment let me explain. Because of his strong will of believing in himself and no one else, Atsumu didn't have many friends while growing up beside his twin Osamu which means he is an awkward kid. However, he still chose to be a setter a position that is not flashy or attention-seeking and the most important part of the requirement of being a setter is to be able to set the perfect setting for its hitter. In theory is quite simple, looking at the situation and position of the hitters and choosing which types of setting would be best for them. But to achieve it is a different story, the setter must know the best position of the ball to bring out the best of the hitter and none hitter is the same, they all have different preferences and habits on how to hit the ball. So, Atsumu who is known to be an attention seeker and thinks of nothing but himself would not be able to the title of THE BEST HIGHSCHOOL SETTER OF JAPAN.

When a child fails or loses in something whether in sport, game, or school, the most strict Asian mother would not cuddle and soothe the kid, NO, they would scowl then point out the mistake that the kid had made and teach them how to overcome it and be better. Atsumu is just like that, when his teammate made mistakes from the perfect set he had set for them which has already taken in their strength, habit, and mindset, he would, of course, scowl them harshly for it. But when they did good in hitting his set or serving the ball or blocking the attack even if it was simple, he would praise them and give out a cheer, praises, shoulder-rubbing, or special high five for each individual. It is true that he is arrogant but he is not only arrogant in himself but also in the ability of his teammates which is why he lashes out when his team members missed his set. The higher the expectation the higher the disappointment. Luckily, Osamu, his twin was there to mellow him out and bring out his gentle part which was buried deep inside of him due to his lonely, friendless childhood. Because of that many have mistaken that the mom of the Inarizaki team was Kita, and this fact was well known by the mistaken mom himself. So it was no surprise when Kita resigned, he nominated Atsumu to be the next Captain and no one disagreed.
