The 10 Best ‘Haikyuu! !’ Teams, Ranked

Haikyuu!! is one of the best sports anime, somehow managing to get fans interested in volleyball. With four seasons released, and a fifth on the way, the series has become a favorite for many anime watchers. The plot follows the Karasuno high school volleyball team as they compete to become the best volleyball team in all of Japan. The anime boasts some very talented players and teams with some insane gameplay involved. The series has also been praised for its realistic nature and accurate depiction of the sport.

Here is a ranking of the best volleyball teams in Haikyuu!!, but there’s no telling how the anime adaptation of Haruichi Furudate’s manga series will revamp the teams moving forward. 

10. Nohebi

With the powerful spiker and captain, Suguru Daisho, leading the team, and with a snake as its official mascot, Nohebi is one of the sneakiest teams in the entire series. When in play, they are known for targeting the weaker links in the opposing teams, as well as their deceitful gameplay. Their analytical strength was displayed during their match with Nekoma High, but overall, their teamwork was severely lacking. Based on the anime, not much of their strengths have been filled out.

9. Date Tech

Known for their Iron Wall of Defense, Date Tech is one of the best blocking teams present in Haikyuu!! The team has two notable players, the mid-blocker Takanobu Aone, and setter Kanji Koganegawa. Kanji’s height aids the team’s offensive strategy, and their strongest blocker Aone also strengthens the team overall. Date Tech’s major positive is their almost impenetrable defense and their game set, while their weaknesses lie in their poor offense and lack of adequate experience.
