Personality[]

Background[]

Plot[]

Tokyo Expedition Arc[]

Group s2 e11 2

Onaga first appears during the summer training camps and is shown being amazed at the sight of Hinata and Kageyama's quick attack. He is mostly seen in the background or playing on the court during a practice match. During the barbeque, he tries to help Yachi when she accidentally ate a piece of burned meat.

Spring High Preliminary Arc[]

Onaga OVA 4-1

Onaga plays during the game's first rally and is unable to block Nekoma's quick set. When Akaashi uses him as a decoy, he warns Onaga before doing so and sets to Bokuto. In the middle of the first set, Onaga serves but it goes out-of-bounds. Sometime in the second set, Washio becomes visibly wary of Lev, who he had won against every time they faced off before, once he spikes past Onaga. During the second set shortly after, Onaga would make Lev pay back when spiking past him in turn.

When Bokuto forgets how to do a cross-shot, and by extension, everything else, Onaga, like the rest of his teammates, becomes alarmed. Sometime later, when Bokuto recovers, Onaga would serve as a decoy for him to score.

Tokyo Nationals Arc[]

Fukurōdani vs Eiwa[]

Onaga mostly appears in the background during the game. He is shown being shocked at Coach Yamiji's bluntness when scolding Bokuto for getting depressed when they had talked about this habit of his the previous day.

Fukurōdani Academy vs. Matsuyama Nishi Biz High[]

Onaga is seen spiking past the Matsuyama blockers, but his spike was received.

Fukurōdani vs Mujinazaka High[]

Onaga plays with his team against Mujinazaka High. He was given the first set of the match when Akaashi decides to use him in order to trick Mujinazaka. Despite this, he is still blocked. After this error, he quickly apologizes to his team in embarrassment, but they just laugh it off. Sometime later, he deflects Unnan. Once more, Akaashi sets to him but it becomes too low. Onaga notices this too late and his spike hits the net.

Once Anahori is subbed out when Fukurōdani wins the first set, Anahori is frustrated at himself for his poor performance. Despite the rookie setter's frustration, Onaga praises him for his composure. Sometime later, Akaashi effectively uses him as a decoy. Sometime later in the second set, Onaga marvels at his team's amazing plays during break.

He is able to score the last point to win the game.

Final Arc[]

Onaga's final appearance comes when he is watching the MSBY Black Jackals game on his phone. He currently is playing on the Division 2 team, the Tamaden Elephants, as a middle blocker[1].
