"Haikyuu!!" Season 4, Episode 21 spoiler stills hint at flashback scenes of Nishinoya and Miya brothers.

Leaving aside the volleyball action, the showrunners of "Haikyuu!!" are doing a stellar job in character building. Each episode in the current season shares a glimpse of a character’s backstory.

Episode 20 of "Haikyuu!!" Season 4 introduces fans to Kita, the confident captain of Inarizaki High. The episode starts with a player replacement as Kita enters the court with the sole objective to revive the team’s dwindling spirit.

As soon as Kita starts playing, Inarizaki High’s players feel confident and are able to connect the ball better. Coach Korosu praises Kita’s efforts and notes that he is not a star player, but has the uncanny ability to replicate his practice technique in matches.

During the episode, Kita drops wisdom bombs that are quoteworthy. “I don’t understand why anyone ever gets nervous. You only get nervous because you try to be more powerful than you usually are, right?” he says to Aran Ojiro. Kita believes in repetition, and it is quite evident when he plays against star players like Kageyama.

Kita’s presence helps Inarizaki High bounce back in the game and win the set for the team. Now, the final battle begins.
