The 'Oikawa Villain' or 'Most Overrated Villains in Manga' meme stems from the ironic placement of Tooru Oikawa, the setter from the sports anime Haikyuu!!, alongside legendary shonen antagonists like Madara Uchiha or Griffith. While Oikawa is merely a highly competitive high school rival, the meme treats his intensity and 'villainous' drive to win as if he were a world-ending threat. It is commonly used to poke fun at anime power scaling debates or to highlight how intimidating Oikawa’s personality can be despite just playing volleyball. Fans use this template to rank their most controversial takes on anime antagonists or to jokingly defend Oikawa’s status as a top-tier villain.
