Haikyu's arc captures the volleyball court itself: the alternating brightness of plays and

timeouts, attack and recovery. Production I.G.'s 2020 production pushed the dynamic range

of the court — bleached white floors, compressed shadows, the brief darkness between points

where the world contracts to a single ball. The Red-dominant palette comes from Karasuno's

uniform and the heat of competition. The barcode looks like a rally: rhythmic, tense,

never quite settling.
