[Source Material vs. Adaptation] ハイキュー!! - Character Omissions in ハイパープロジェクション演劇 「ハイキュー!!」

Wow, such a mouthful for the blogpost title!

Basically, this is me giving my two cents on the character omissions (in whatever forms) that happened in the engeki adaptation of the manga ハイキュー!!. I first published this via Wikia/Fandom as I love wikitext, but unfortunately, if there's a way to use it on Blogspot blogs, I'm not yet aware of. I will continue to first format the content there and copy & paste it here; trust me, you'd think switching back and forth between "Compose" and "HTML" on Blogger/Blogspot wouldn't do any damage, but it did; while the "Preview" holds, I'm not even sure the format would actually be kept, so fingers crossed!

P.S.: At the time of this posting, I'm not yet privy to the exact content of production 06 最強の場所チーム, so the stuff that mentions it may not be completely accurate, and will be updated when I'm able to verify.

• 泉Izumi 行高Yukitaka & 関向Sekimukai 幸治Kōji (production 01)
  The match where they helped out was featured, so technically one can argued that they were "represented", just like, not actually seen lmao. I mean, I get the decision, since I was actually quite surprised that those 2 weren't too relevant later on in the series, but I think it still would have been nice to showcase friends not always having the same interest, and still are friends.
• 教頭 (name unrevealed?) (production 01)
  The dude with the wig; Daichi replaced his role being the one who got hit. BUT, he was heard "off-screen" reprimanding Noya's outburst, or at least I think it was him, as I don't see why it wouldn't be lol.
• 成田Narita 一仁Kazuhito & 木下Kinoshita 久志Hisashi (missing from all productions so far)
  "Narita" was referenced in production 01. I'm actually somewhat disappointed about this omission because they did become more relevant later in the series. Chikara replaced Kazuhito in production 05 (likely in 06 as well, sad).
• 入畑Irihata 伸照Nobuteru & 溝口Mizoguchi 貞幸Sadayuki (productions 01-03, and likely 06)
  I'm sad about not at least including the head coach, since I appreciate decent-behaving adults lol. His speech was largely delivered by Seijoh team members.
• 滝ノ上Takinoue 祐輔Yūsuke (every production after 01)
  I felt absolutely horrible because I totally get the omission D;. His character type is so similar to Keishin's that it'd just feel repetitive(?), but at the same time I do miss the banter between a duo, rather than just one person doing the talking.
• 森Mori 行成Yukinari & 内沢Uchizawa 英紀Hidenori (production 01)
  The match with OB was featured, so technically one can argued that they were "represented", just not actually specified who's who. If Mori was name-dropped in production 03 for his role of providing Seijoh's DVD, I missed it.
