Fans have been shaping what they believe will happen in season 5 for quite some time now, and the most popular theory is that the season will cover all that happens at Nationals. Hinata and Kageyama have been training for quite some time now, and have even developed a friendship due to their mutual competitiveness and desire to bring their school back to its former glory.

Another fan theory is that after Nationals is done, the next chapter will explore what happens to both Hinata and Kageyama after the tournament. There are almost limitless options of not only settings, but directions the storyline could take. That these two characters could take wildly different paths makes a season 5 all the more intriguing. Another dynamic that fans are excited to see is that between Hinata and Kenma, as well as between Daichi and Suga.
