Nishinoyas Gorila move is also a call back to when he used to save the ball with rolling thunder, but ended up blocking the way for the back line hitter. He has learned, and that is why he moves out of the way now for Azumane
Kuro is the character who represents the best the philosophy of Haikyuu. He's competitive like Hinata or Kageyama. However his real mission in life is to make everyone enjoy volleyball the way he does. He was the first who noticed Tsuki's potential and put the effort to develop it and he's glad to see how Tsuki become a volleyball enjoyer.
28:40 This moment is also a bit of a callback to S4 when Kageyama called him out for getting in the way of the back line's approach after making a dig during the Dateko practice match. As you can see, not only did he learn from his mistake, but he allowed room for Asahi to get a clean kill from the back line because of it
26:44 this is the same Kenna that gets mad at gravity for making him more tired. 😂 it’s not a real thing about animosity it’s more like he’s just contemplating how Kuro is the reason he’s playing today. When he said if you were just some party jerk I wouldn’t play shows how he knows Kuro is a deep guy who knows Kenma in and out.
Whenever we get the "cliff" imagery, the characters involved are usually very serious. I think this is what sets Hinata apart and truly makes him a "monster"--he *loves* the cliff edge, the challenge, he was overjoyed that he got to overcome something so treacherous.
26:33 for Kenma’s comments I don’t think it’s any genuine animosity. It’s more of how like when you’re really close to a friend they typically do things they annoy you and/or you make fun of each other. It’s more akin to banter/teasing from a really close friend rather than anything actually malicious and resentment towards him.
It's alway happy to see Coach getting happy while watching haikyu animations. I don't know if he knows himself, but he smiles more often than when he watchs other things.
The soccer scene with the dad asking him to go play soccer, as someone who's struggled with friendships I saw that for what it was, that Kuroo really knew his friend and didn't want to force him along to something he doesn't want to do. To me, that scene really hit in the feels in a good way, having a friend who truly knows you like that. For some, they'd invite them to come watch, but Kenma really didn't seem interested in that either, and it really showed how much Kuroo knew and understood Kenma, and to me that's one of the biggest points here that Friendships don't have to mean you go do everything together because sometimes you just don't like the same things.
When Kenma said “he lied” he meant about “not having to move around as much.” Of course he probably would have said that if there was any moving around at all lol. And to answer your questions yes, Kenma was heavily into video games even before he first met Kuroo. That’s why his dad liked the idea of Kuroo taking him out to play with the other boys, he hoped it’d “normalize” him a bit more.
I was reading the manga and noticed a bad call. In hinata middle school game the crazy slide they call out. In the manga the contact to the floor is actually in
Kageyama tossing a four (or just setting high? not sure which name is preferred) to Hinata is such great writing on so many levels. It is a culmination of so much growth for both of them - Hinata gets (or rather chooses) to let go of his main weapon, speed, that he used to have to overly rely on, and Kageyama gives Hinata the most freedom as a spiker with this set, so opposite to his early tendencies to try and handle everything by himself. The way Ukai encouraged Kageyama was so nice too - in Japanese, it’s no so much about confidence, Ukai actually tells him to be brave (similar enough, I know, but the nuance). And I love how in the movie they chose to show a random team down on their knees in defeat behind Ukai as he says it, showing how scary and potentially risky being brave can be. Poetic cinema :")
that high set is doubly meaningful so soon after the Inarizaki match when the team is panicking and rushing and Hinata slows them all down to a manageable pace with the high pass he puts up on his receive, it's essentially Kageyama returning the favor to him, showing that he's still growing as a player, acknowledging Hinata's own growth, and all at the same time, showing that they're still in a way competing with each other to be the best even when they're not opponents on the court, this is the kind of stuff that shows the difference between good and great story telling
I think the ways Kenma "attacked" Kuro verbally in-between the second and third set were not meant in a bad way by Kenma, I think he's saying that even though Kuro can be persistent and "annoying" these compliment the fact that he's good at building up others, and he wouldn't be playing volleyball if it weren't for that. So it's more like "good annoying". 😆
That big smile Tsukki had had me in tears haha His arc about getting to love volleyball was so important to me and seeing him just beeing happy even while being so exhausted made me so happy
I know that this anime doesn’t cover all the manga panels, but I really enjoyed how this movie was made. It brought so much nostalgia. Watching this movie feels like witnessing all characters (both karasuno and nekoma) growth, development, and transformation. As usual, good reaction coach!
There’s one thing I want everyone who didn’t see the manga to know🥹 Before Hinata jumped high to hit the high middle set, Kenma thought “many people not good at spiking high sets, Hinata has always done fast attacks, I don’t think he can get used to it…” there’s another flashback in the manga: back in junior high, Hinata asking his friends that didn’t play volleyball-“please, just tossing it high would be good!” It’s all the hard work in the past makes him able to hit that high ball🥹That’s such a beautiful arc…It gave me chills when I read that…wish they had spent just 5 more second for this🥺
I've always marvelled at the detail this anime goes into. Even the sounds of the balls, are on point. When they had the different balls early in the anime they had a slightly different sound like Molten and Mikasa balls do in real life. It's one of the things that makes this one of the greatest anime's I've ever seen and likely will ever see. The attention to detail is first class.
The Japenese "pair of oni" reference comes from an early analogy Nekomata and Kenma made about Kageyama and Hinata. Back then, their skill as a duo relied on how well Kageyama used Hinatas speed and height, in essence Kageyama was the only one using any skill, " an oni (demon) and his club" Now that Hinata has become an exceptional player who isnt reliant on Kageyama to use his skills, he is a demon himself, "a pair of oni", or as the manga puts it, "its not a demon and his club anymore, thats a demon and demon right there"
I enjoy how he breaks down the animation or drawings in every sports anime. I wonder will this coach will someday show his drawings or his animations in video. I love your videos :}
They cut out so much of this game to fit in one movie. With the flashbacks between Kuro and Kenya you really see their growth and understanding. Kenma is younger than Kuro, if they lose it will be their last game playing together because Kenma has no desire to continue after high school. Kenma is recognizing Kuro's strengths here, he talks a lot but he knows just what to say to build people up (this is a hint to Kuro's future but that's a spoiler) I think the Japanese language has a more melancholic feel to Kenma's reminiscences that doesn't come across with the English subtitles.
The Lev push-up scene, I'm pretty sure he was doing that because Kuroo mentioned having weights to be able to do just a few so Lev was trying to do that. The "gorilla walk" one, I think was in reference to an earlier episode where he did the "Rolling Thunder" but wound up directly in front of Asahi and got called out by Kageyama, so this to me looked like he was showing more awareness and took that extra "gorilla step" so he was out of the way of the hitter behind him. Just my 2 cents.
I love how kuroo has a big influence on kenma and tsukki. I personally like his dynamic with kenma more but i teared up every time kuro and tsukki interacted They are so😭
@@ElevateYourselfOfficial Slam Dunk is a basketball manga that run from 1990 to 1996. A portion of it was animated from 1993 to 1996. The First Slam Dunk (2002) was the directorial debut of the manga artist, Inoue Takehiko. It covered the ending of the manga that was never animated in the 90s. Inoue-sensei wrote the 2-hour movie to be enjoyed by viewers who have no previous knowledge of the series. In fact, I know a few people who saw the movie first and then got into the original manga/anime after.
I love your reactions sooo much!!! But as it hasn't been explained yet. Kenma seems like he's talking negatively but it's not exactly him being upset with Kuroo talking. He's thinking about how since Kuroo is so good with his words and knows just the right things to say, he managed to convince Kenma to play Volleyball even though Kenma isn't a big fan of sports and Kuroo is sort of responsible for how Kenma came to love the game. So it's not like negative - you talk a lot. But more like something he noticed kuroo does- his voice just makes it sound negative because it is a very deadpanned voice 😂
Since I just started watching/reading Haikyuu and begun watching reactions this year he's not the only one. A lot of people do. I think it's bc people don't really pay attention to all the information being told/shown. Or simply don't interpret it. The biggest contributor is Kenma's non athleticism being attributed to simple laziness. When it's NOT. The fact is Kenma has very real physical limitations & stamina. Him pushing through those means getting physically ill (aka his fevers). It's not that Kenma can't work hard it's that there are real consequences when he pushes against those limits. Hence why he takes his time completing runs or workouts. He has to go at a steady, even pace. In haikyuu no one knows his physical abilities better than Kenma. But most ppl think if he simply tried harder or pushed he'd get better but no his body just gives out and he become sick w/fevers. I don't think reactors pick on this at all.

🔥 Watch me imitate Hinata, Nishinoya, Kageyama, and more with these Haikyuu!! FUN videos here - bit.ly/3bnPRMd
I'm pretty sure Kenma doesn't feel guilty about beating his friend...he's just bored that he'll win the game without any challenge anymore

Wow I never thought of Kuro like that!
Thanks to the inspiration from coach Nekomata, “just lower the net”, Kuroo wants everyone to enjoy volleyball! That’s beautiful.
Now his future after the timeskip makes more sense damn
I love Kuroo he's the most wholesome guy

That last animation sequence has to be the most sakuga I’ve seen in haikyu, it’s so smooth

Thank you for calling that out! I didn't realize that. Will definitely go back and re-watch that!!

If you remember correctly, in the OVAs, line judges made the wrong calls cause the other team obstructed their view
I don’t remember that but thanks for the reminder.

Tsuki's smile was one of the most emotional moments for me, in the movie. I wish I could see it in the cinema again 😭😭😭😭😭😭
Thank you for adding your real clips, as usual it's educational!
I know that this anime doesn’t cover all the manga panels, but I really enjoyed how this movie was made. It brought so much nostalgia. Watching this movie feels like witnessing all characters (both karasuno and nekoma) growth, development, and transformation. As usual, good reaction coach!
There’s one thing I want everyone who didn’t see the manga to know🥹 Before Hinata jumped high to hit the high middle set, Kenma thought “many people not good at spiking high sets, Hinata has always done fast attacks, I don’t think he can get used to it…” there’s another flashback in the manga: back in junior high, Hinata asking his friends that didn’t play volleyball-“please, just tossing it high would be good!” It’s all the hard work in the past makes him able to hit that high ball🥹That’s such a beautiful arc…It gave me chills when I read that…wish they had spent just 5 more second for this🥺
Tsukishima scoring after Kuroo's sequence always give's me chills, it was definitely a passing of the torch moment

33:54 Tsuki’s smile 😭 waku waku, so excited for what’s to come from here
That last scene is definitely what cemented Kuro as one of my favorites, especially hearing him laugh so genuinely at 33:18
As fast as the freak quick~

Thanks for the reaction coach. Great explanation and examples 👏🏽
28:53 I think it's also a callback to season 4 when Kageyama yelled at Nishinoya for getting in the way of the spiker's approach after a receive. 👍

As the #1 KuroTsukki supporter, this was truly my Haikyuu 🫶🏼
I love how kuroo has a big influence on kenma and tsukki. I personally like his dynamic with kenma more but i teared up every time kuro and tsukki interacted They are so😭
Tsukki and Kenma are like twins and have similar personalities. So its no surprise Kuroo likes them both🥰
16 minutes after upload. Gotta watch this quick 😅
Watch it faster than the freak quick
Man I was waiting for the comments on the match finale
WE’RE SOO BACKK BABYY
Will you do "The First Slam Dunk"? 😊😊
I feel like you'll like that one. From the art style to the action to the storytelling
Is that an episode or an anime?

This is the only epic scene in the movie tbh 8:49
Where did you get that Asahi t-shirt? Its so good
Cooll❤
i request you make the video more non transparent because much of the video is not seen-able, nice content though
I will keep that in mind for future videos! Thanks for the feedback.
