There's a LOT I wish I could tell my younger self. Kenma demonstrates a lot of that.
Ever since he first met Hinata, he's shown to be the polar opposite of him: in comparison to the Greatest Decoy who zips around all over the place to create chances for his teammates, Nekoma's brain stands still, making use of the receives his team sends his way.
Hinata would later declare that one day he would make Kenma admit Volleyball was fun, following this Kenma says he wants a game where "It's instantly game over when someone loses".
The showdown will have to wait though, as Nekoma must first defeat Sarukawa Tech, another solid defensive team that wears him down.
Through a series of flashbacks with Kuroo and Yamamoto, we get a deep look into the mind of Kenma, his love of games, and hatred of losing.
Kuroo and Kenma have played volleyball together for a LONG time, with Kuroo encouraging him to come out of his shell and give volleyball a real go.
His teammate Yamamoto doesn't see eye to eye with him, declaring he doesn't have enough "guts". But Kenma proves him wrong, Kenma rises to the occasion and takes an extra step to help his friends and teammates out with a beautiful set to win the game.
Moving into Karasuno vs Nekoma, Kenma is quick to come up with a counter strategy for Hinata, putting him in a "bird cage" in the Battle at the Garbage dump.
But as the match goes on, after one particularly intense rally, a collapsed Kenma admits "That was fun". Causing Hinata to yell in celebration. At the very end, he thanks Kuroo for teaching him volleyball, admitting the match was the most fun he'd ever had.
