Johzenji brings improvisation to Karasuno's qualifier route in Haikyu Volume 13. VIZ describes an opponent whose attacks rely on improvisation, after Karasuno clears the preliminaries. Pick this volume for a different kind of opponent rather than another lesson in a familiar rivalry. The immediate buying distinction is tactical unpredictability: the team has prepared its own options, but still has to respond when an opponent refuses a tidy pattern.
Spoilers — why this volume matters. Tap to reveal.
Johzenji's advertised improvisation gives this meeting a useful test of preparation. A practiced response needs a recognizable situation, while an improvised attack can make recognition itself the problem. That is the argument supported by VIZ's description of Karasuno struggling to find a counter. It does not establish that spontaneity is better than discipline, or that Karasuno has learned nothing. Readers interested in contrasting team approaches have a reason to buy this particular matchup. A collection built only around the major recurring rivals would leave out that contrast.
