Plot[]
Final Arc[]
Schweiden Adlers vs MSBY Black Jackal[]
Having lost his previous partner and on the brink of losing all his sponsors, Heitor is urged by his girlfriend, Nice Rodrigues, to partner with "Ninja Shoyo" as he is known to have great volleyball skills as well as being willing to partner with anyone who asks. Heitor soon locates Hinata and pleads him to become his partner so he can compete in the upcoming tournament circuit; to which Hinata agrees. After practicing for a bit, the two get closer as Hinata talks about how he ended up coming to Rio and Heitor explains how his parents were professional volleyball players but that he himself didn't have as much passion for the sport.[1]
Before their next game in the circuit, Heitor reveals that he wishes to propose to Nice if they win. During the match, he and Hinata are shown to work extremely well together. Unfortunately, they would lose the match and be removed from the tournament. When he and Hinata lose their match, Nice surprises them both by having caught on that Heitor wanted to propose if they won and instead proposes to him. They soon marry with Hinata and their friends and family attending the wedding. Heitor, Nice, and many others are present at the airport when Hinata returns to Japan.
Heitor and Nice watch Hinata's debut game online and are caught off guard when he performs his new quick attack with Atsumu. They both cheer for Hinata but also support Nicollas Romero. At the end of the series, Heitor and Nice are shown watching the Olympic game between Japan and Argentina with their three children and pet dog.[2]
