With a height of just 5' 9" , and playing in national team(not as a libero), he should be extra ordinary.

[@simplysimple7628]

Absolutely insane. 5’9” was more commonly seen in the old days. Today is a big mans game. Yet Japan overcomes that. Just an amazing team with supreme chemistry.

[@drjowjow]

His vertical jump (295 cm) is quite impressive despite his height. There were clips of him jumping just a couple of inches lower than their MB, and of him blocking much taller outside hitters like clevenot (Fra) and martinez (Arg). kzbin.info/www/bejne/bXibaJx5drmfbrc&si=EnSIkaIECMiOmarE

[@user-se3lc8xe7p]

This motivates me that I can actually be a setter even if I'm 1.74

[@user-se3lc8xe7p]

@Sneaky Bastard he's exactly my inspiration atm. And giannelli is my idol i wanna be just like him

[@gnihi1]

2:00 I love that Ishikawa showed Nishida that his ball hit the libero in the face. Nishida didn´t see it happen but instantly went to apologize after seeing Ishikawas gesture.

[@peemaklangniam743]

That’s very nice of him. This is also common in Asia.

[@gnihi1]

@@peemaklangniam743 I´ve seen this in an lot of videos and it makes me happy. It shows the respect for other players and the intention not to hurt anybody.

[@rennyherdadi3105]

Ryujin Nippon has loveable sportsmanship manner. In some occasions they went over to the opposite court to make sure the player getting hit was okay. Love Ryujin Nippon! ❤❤❤

[@ghervhinne]

Sekita is one of the best setters out there.

[@Laylatheweeb]

I agree with that and he is one of the reasons why I play volleyball

[@fabiom65]

The most underrated position in volley (by the general public not by players, players understand the value of a good setter). People always look at spikes. Reality is, if the pass ain’t good, there’s no spike

[@hoonie08]

Totally agree, I play recreationally and was a former libero for my team, and during trainings, this has always been reiterated, “you cannot create a killer point (spike) beautifully without a good pass and set”. I ultimately admire setters, not only because I suck at it but having that soooo much responsibility and doing it beautifully is such a wonderful thing to see. Setters are the conductor in an orchestra. Only those who play volleyball in real knows how setters can be MVPs too.

[@ljhookem14]

This guy is in the running for 2nd best setter in the world behind Christensen. What a player and I love watching Japan play.

[@meshackroberts7205]

gotta dissagree with you i wouldn't rank him that high i would give him 4th/5th

[@Molodech]

Nah man lol, ur just fanatic, Ganelli and Bruno MUCH better ij setting lmao

[@Yawdd.0]

And de cecco?

[@SomeOne-pj5um]

He's definitely great but not 2nd best. There's setters like Bruno, Saeid Marouf, Christenson, and I forgot his name but Italys starting setter that are arguably better. In the end of the day, you can't compare players of whose better and best. Only teams.

If I were given a chance to become a volleyball player, then I will choose setter position. I want to become the playmaker of the game.

If he had been 15cm taller, he would have been one of the best setters in the world.

Man.. I really am falling in love with volleyball but I need more stamina, and practice, lots of it. With a 6 flat height, I won't be concious on how tall I am because the height of national volleyball players are 6'4''
