Wanted to see more of him? You're finally in luck.
Spoilers ahead!
Summary:
Fans wanted more development for Kenma for quite a while now.
Haikyuu!! The Dumpster Battle shows his first meeting with Kuroo, as well as flashbacks to his first meeting with Hinata.
Many fans felt like he was the main focus of the movie/
Haikyuu!! is famous for its highly-developed cast of lovable characters. It might be hard to choose the best one, especially because fans like all of them, and so most of the time it just boils down to personal preference.
The recent movie makes it even harder to decide. The reviews are here, and with the movie focusing on the Karasuno vs Nekoma match means that fans were expecting more development for the Nekoma team. Fortunately, they got what they wanted, as the movie reminded us what made Kenma such a great character in the first place.
We always wanted to see more of Kenma
Kenma Kozume, the introverted setter from Nekoma, has always been loved by the community. He's known as both the brain and the heart for his team, being the one who comes up with the strategies as well as a sort of a symbol for them.
While we have seen him often enough so far, we haven't really got around to looking into his mind — until this movie. Haikyuu!! The Dumpster Battle finally shows us Kenma's worldview, and does it in a very unusual way.
Movie focused on his flashbacks a lot
While fans expected the movie to give flashbacks to Kenma and Hinata's first meeting — that was teased in one of the PVs — what they didn't expect is for it to show the same meeting from Kenma's perspective. In general, the movie did very well to show the friendship between the two, as well as just how important volleyball is for them.
The movie also goes into the backstory of Kenma and Kuroo, showing their first meeting and how the two became friends. The contrast between the attitudes of the two is what makes their dynamic so good, and certain scenes in the movie make parallels between their relationship and that of Kageyama and Hinata.
Kenma was the main focus of the movie
Overall, more focus on Kenma and his interactions with others is always welcome. The movie is intense and dynamic, of course, and it's not just introspection for one player; however, a lot of fans felt like he was the central character in it. That said, Haikyuu!! The Dumpster Battle portrayed him in a very realistic and believable way, further establishing him as one of the most interesting characters in the series. Fans hope to see the post-timeskip content adapted at some point to see him in the future.
