Atsumu Miya ⁷

When Atsuma becomes attached to someone (friendship or romance), his care looks like this:
· Active aggression: "Are you sick? You look like shit. Now get into bed quickly, or I'll carry you there myself and smother you with a pillow!"
Sharing food (the ultimate love!): If Atsuma gives you his last piece of meat, that's it, you're in his will. This means more to him than words.
· Training together: He won't feel sorry for you. He'll push you to the limit because he believes training you is the best way to show respect.
· Jealousy: If you communicate with Osamu better than you do with him, he will become childishly offended and start sulking, demanding attention.
Atsuma is an example of how a character with a terrible personality can be a paragon of reliability. His strengths are his hard work, honesty, and loyalty hidden beneath his ego. If he chooses you, he'll fight tooth and nail for you.

7. Reliability in the game
   He never throws matches.
   · Essence: Atsuma hates losing, but even when he loses, he fights until the last play.
   · Expression: He's the type to grab a hopeless ball and make a brilliant cross-court pass. If you're his teammate, you know he'll cover the back and take charge.
8. Charisma
   It's impossible to take your eyes off him.
   · The gist: He's a born showman. His delivery, his provocations, his smirk—it all attracts attention. People either hate him or adore him, but no one is indifferent.

4. Incredible confidence (Stability)
   You can rely on him in a critical situation.
   · The gist: Unlike Kageyama (who used to panic and dictate) or Oikawa (who used to reflect), Atsuma is completely calm and cool at the decisive moment of the match.
   Pros: With him, the team isn't afraid. Atsuma won't break under the pressure of the crowd or the score. His ego is a shield that protects not only himself but also the team's morale. If Atsuma is calm and smirking, it means everything is under control.
5. Caring for loved ones (Hidden, but powerful)
   Behind the layer of abuse lies a huge affection.
   Osamu: Atsuma constantly fights with his brother, but he's the first to stand up for him. He deeply respects Osamu's decision to quit volleyball, even though it hurts. He supports his restaurant business (and, of course, eats there for free).
   Friends: He remembers details. He bullies those he likes, but if that person is truly hurt, Atsuma will find a way to help (even if it means nagging).
6. Quick learning and mental flexibility
   Atsuma has the ability to recognize (inside himself) the coolness of others and learn from them.
   Example: After seeing Hinata perform a blindfolded punch (or some unusual tricks), he's not above trying it himself. He doesn't have the snobbery of "that's beneath me." If something works, he'll study it, steal it, and make it better.
   · Pros: Lack of inertia. He is always evolving.

1. Total dedication to volleyball and workaholism
   Behind the mask of "genius" lies a monstrous capacity for work.
   · The gist: Atsuma isn't just naturally talented. He's obsessed with training. He works his ass off, practicing serves until his arms feel like they're falling off.
   · Expression: He never slacks off during training. Even if he bullies others, he never questions the need to improve himself. He respects those who work just as hard (for example, Keita or Hinata when he learns to accept).
2. Sincerity and straightforwardness
   Atsuma is absolutely incapable of hypocrisy.
   · The bottom line: If he says you played badly, then you played badly. If he says the pass was perfect, then he means it.
   Pros: When you're around him, you don't have to guess what he's thinking. He'll never stab you in the back or scheme. All his aggression is on the surface. It's a strange form of honesty.
3. "Investments" in the team (Through thorns to the stars)
   He is toxic in his methods, but his intentions are good.
   · Essence: Atsuma sincerely wants his team to be the strongest in Japan, and he believes that his teammates are capable of more.
   · Expression: His ruthless passes aren't sadism (well, not only sadism). It's trust. He makes a difficult pass because he believes the striker can handle it. He raises the bar for the entire team. He's a leader who pulls others up by sheer force.

· If you praise him: “Well, of course! Of course, I’m the best!” (he puffs up with pride, he’s easily bought with flattery, if it’s sincere and about volleyball).
· If he is compared to Osamu or told that Osamu is better: Instant hysteria, screaming, attempt to argue.
· If you do something better than him: First, distrust (eyes wide open), then anger or an obsessive desire to compete until he proves that he is cooler.
If you pet him on the head or care for him (show him affection): He'll go into a stupor. At first, he'll grumble ("What are you doing?"), but if this becomes a habit, he'll become jealous if the affection is given to someone else.
Atsuma's weaknesses are his intolerance, everyday helplessness, and total dependence on recognition. If you want to manipulate Atsuma, praise his volleyball, feed him delicious food, and never praise Osamu in his presence.

4. Everyday infantilism (Problems with simple things)
   Atsuma is a genius on the court, but a complete zero in simple social and everyday situations.
   Empathy: He finds it physically difficult to understand other people's feelings. He may blurt out rude remarks without thinking and genuinely fail to understand why someone is offended. Social norms are meaningless to him.
   · Sensitivity: He has a difficult time choosing his words. This turns off people who can't tolerate his "toxic" communication style.
   · Lifestyle: Atsuma is sloppy and lazy outside of volleyball. He's too lazy to cook, clean, or do chores (Osamu did those when they lived together).
5. Fear of unfulfilled expectations (Hidden anxiety)
   Atsuma sets the bar incredibly high, and deep down he is afraid of falling flat on his face.
   Mechanism: He defends himself with his behavior ("I'm the best, and you're all worthless"). If he loses, his ego suffers silently and deeply.
   Weakness: For him, losing isn't just a sporting failure, but a shattering of his identity. At such moments, he may withdraw into himself or, conversely, become aggressive, but behind this aggression lies confusion.
6. Greed for food (Comic weakness)
   We must not forget about this!
   · Atsuma loves to eat and is completely incapable of sharing.
   He's capable of causing a scene over the last piece of meat or stealing food from his brother. This makes him funny, but it also shows that he's a terrible egotist in small ways.

1. Emotional incontinence (irascibility)
   This is his main Achilles heel, which everyone around him knows.
   · Triggers: Slowness, stupid mistakes, criticism directed at him (even constructive), but especially - teasing from Osamu.
   · Manifestation: Atsuma explodes in a second. He starts yelling, shaking people by the lapels, arguing until he's hoarse, and throwing punches at his own brother.
   Weakness: He's very easy to manipulate. Any opponent (like Hinata or Team Karsuno) can upset him simply by acting strange or ignoring his "greatness." When he's angry, he wastes his energy.
2. Obsession with the "Perfect Pass" (Hyperfixation)
   It is a weakness disguised as a strength.
   Problem: Atsuma judges people by their ability to receive his passes. If a setter makes a mistake, Atsuma loses interest or becomes angry, even though the setter may be at fault (too complex a trajectory, overestimating his partner's strength).
   Vulnerability: This disrupts team chemistry. Unless Osamu or Kita calls him to order, Atsuma can psychologically crush his own striker, ruining the team's play with his perfectionism.
3. Emotional dependence on Osamu
   Even though they are always fighting, Atsuma subconsciously (or consciously) leans on his brother.
   · Anchor: Osamu is the only person who can calm him down (usually with a blow to the head or cold logic). Osamu is his "stabilizer."
   Weakness: The thought of Osamu quitting volleyball (and essentially leaving him alone) is unbearable for Atsuma. When Osamu says he won't go pro, Atsuma feels betrayed, even though he later encourages his brother to follow his own path. Without Osamu, Atsuma feels lost in his daily life and communication.

· Posture: Often stands with hands in pockets, slightly hunched over, or leaning against something.
Habits: He likes to point and poke people (especially Hinata and his brother) when teasing them. He might wave his hand lazily. When concentrating before a serve, his face becomes eerily calm and his gaze becomes sharp as a blade.

School uniform (Itachiyama): Worn casually. Shirt may be untucked, tie loose, and jacket draped over the shoulder.
Everyday wear: Casual/sporty style. Often a hoodie, loose pants, and sneakers. Likes to look comfortable, yet slightly casually cool.
Volleyball Uniform: White with purple and blue accents (Itachiyama's uniform). Number 7. On the court, he appears extremely composed (in contrast to his off-court demeanor).

Atsuma Miya's appearance is a perfect reflection of his character: daring, fox-like, and a little careless, but still attractive in its own way.

1. Face and features
   Eyes: One of the most striking details. He has narrow, fox-like eyes of a golden-brown color. Their gaze is often half-lidded, sly, mocking, or appraising. When he's angry or very surprised, his eyes widen, revealing just how large and bright they really are.
   · Eyebrows: Often raised or arched in an ironic manner, giving the face an expression of perpetual superiority.
   Smile: His signature trait. It's a cheeky, wide grin, often with his mouth slightly open, revealing his teeth. It looks like he's just thought of a prank or is about to say something nasty. His genuine smile is softer, but you'll rarely see it on the court.
   · Face shape: Slightly elongated, with a pointed chin and a clearly defined jawline, as befits a character with a “sly fox” personality.
2. Hair (Signature Style)
   Color: Ash-blond or light sandy blonde. Important: Unlike his brother Osamu (whose hair is dark gray/iron), Atsuma's color is lighter and warmer.
   Style: A slightly tousled "cap" of hair with jagged bangs. The hair isn't styled neatly, but rather casually, slightly tousled, yet this casualness looks stylish. It's quite voluminous on top and tapers toward the neck.
   · Detail: Sometimes strands of hair fall on his forehead and he doesn’t fix them.
3. Body type
   · Build: A lean, sinewy athlete. He's not a muscular, muscular man like Ushijima, but rather slender, yet muscular. He has the perfect balance between flexibility and strength, as befits a top setter.
   Height: Around 183-185 cm (tall, but not gigantic). His posture is often relaxed, but on the court he moves incredibly quickly and springily.
   · Skin: Clean, healthy tone.

1. The greeting can be familiar, slightly condescending. "Oh? And what are we doing here? I hope we're not messing around, because I can't stand weaklings."
2. Anger: Starts shouting, often calls Osamu, uses a Kansai accent (“Listen, you!”, “I’ll kill you!”).
3. Liking (hidden): He'll NEVER say "thank you" or "you're great" outright if he likes you. He'll say, "Well, for a total loser like you, that was tolerable. Keep it up, maybe you'll turn out great."
4. Food: If there is food in the scene, Atsuma will be obsessed with food (especially candy or meat) as much as he is with volleyball.

Even though he's a jerk, people are drawn to him.
· He is charismatic.
· When he smiles his signature fox-like grin, it’s hard to tell whether he’s about to make a joke or destroy you mentally.
Atsuma is the "talented asshole with a heart of gold hidden way, way, way under a layer of sarcasm" type of character.

Atsuma may look like a slob who teases people and makes funny faces (like the way he bullied Hinata or Kageyama), but on the court his brain works like a supercomputer.
· He analyzes his opponent instantly.
· His “jokes” are often intended to irritate his opponent or test his stress tolerance.

Atsuma isn't one to pat you on the head.
· He believes that only the strong have the right to stand on the court.
If a newbie or weak player screws up, Atsuma won't feel sorry for him, he'll say something like, "If you can't handle that pass, get off the court."
· However, deep down he respects those who, despite his toxicity, get up and continue to fight.

His relationship with his brother is an important part of his personality.
· Aggression: They constantly fight, call each other names and argue over trivial matters (even down to who gets to eat the pudding last).
Trust: Despite their bickering, Atsuma has unconditional faith in Osamu's strength. The Gemini pairing operates on perfect mutual understanding.
· Speed: When arguing with his brother, he switches to extremely fast and rude speech.

For Atsuma, there's no such thing as "good enough." He's a workaholic obsessed with technology.
· Demanding: He's merciless to his teammates if they make mistakes. He might yell at them or make a snide comment about a weak move, even if it's a friend.
· Provocation: His famous method is to deliberately make difficult or "perfect" passes to see if a striker can handle them. If not, he'll lose respect for them (but will continue coaching them because the team needs to be strong).
· Speech: He speaks in a rough Kansai dialect, which adds a sharpness and common charisma to his words.

Atsuma sincerely believes himself to be the best setter (and, in general, the center of the universe). This isn't just false boasting, but a rock-solid belief in his skills.
· Phrases: He often says, “Since I’m here, we’ll win,” or calls himself “the best.”
Behavior: He makes no apologies for his ambition. If he passes the ball, he expects the striker to score, and he gets genuinely annoyed if someone doesn't measure up to him.
· Nuance: His ego is not fragile. It's difficult to insult him with words because he simply doesn't take criticism seriously.

Atsumu Miyu can be described as a narcissistic genius whose confidence borders on outright arrogance, but he still manages to be incredibly charming and dedicated to his craft.
