    Oikawa dislikes Kageyama because of his natural talent. He believes that no matter how hard he works or how many hours he practices, he will always be bested by someone like Kageyama who is a natural and is supposedly a genius.

    It is not that Oikawa is not talented, he is extremely gifted and is an amazing setter. However, that does not stop his insecurity. When he first met Kageyama in junior high, he saw the amount of talent Kageyama had, which far surpassed his own and his jealousy and insecurity began there. Oikawa had an experience that Kageyama did not but his skills and natural ability were leaps and bounds ahead of Oikawa’s. Not only that, but Kageyama also worked very hard to improve himself and Oikawa believed it was really easy to surpass him.

    He was scared of Kageyama to the point he almost slapped him. He was stopped by his teammate Iwaizumi. For Oikawa, Kageyama represents everything he doesn’t have. While Kageyama has both natural talent and instinct, Oikawa only has instinct. This makes Kageyama his superior in Oikawa’s eyes. This is the reason Oikawa dislikes Kageyama inHaikyuu!!
