Hey hey hey! ( inoffensive spoiler )
Oya ? Oya oya ? OYA OYA OYA ?!
I love this fandom
I can't believe someone in Karasuno dies in the future. (actual spoiler)
HEY HEY HEY!!
hey hey heyyyy
“I’m Hinata Shoyo, from the concrete” is easily the best line from this show. It’s such a subtle declaration of war. Basically, he’s saying he’s gonna prove to Ushiwaka that he can beat him, even though he doesn’t come from a top school or an outstanding team. Also, Ushiawaka throughout the series will be called different names, so his actual name is Ushijima Wakatoshi, but people blend his name together to make Ushiwaka, which also is the name of a legendary warrior from the Heian period of Japan. Ushiwaka is said to be the strongest warrior from his era, which is meant to be an obvious representation for Ushijima in the show, as he’s the strongest in the prefecture and arguably in all of Japan.
It was so well done I loved it!
Hinata wants basically to demonstrate that Ushijima's theory is WRONG, that his "vegetables explanation" cannot be applied on volleyball. Which is basically true, I believe - you can put together the best team and train them in the best gym with the best training technique, but this will not give you the 100% probability of winning. It will "just" maximize the percentage of winning 😅
@@herrrorschach590 I wouldn’t say wrong, but I do agree it proves that greatness CAN come from concrete, like the image of a rose growing in concrete
The fucking long pause and eyeballing the little plushie against the screen I cANT that’s so funny 🤣🤣
I knew he'd been waiting hahah
You joke about Ushijima being an adult, but freshman year of high school there was this guy in my class who was 6’5” and had a full beard, I thought he was a teacher. He was one year older than me lmao
THATS CRAzY!
I had a full beard at 13 and had pretty much reached my current height. Everytime people call Ushiwaka or Asahi full-grown adults, I feel it.
the way i WHEEZED when you said "maybe bc he's not in the bathroom with him" LMAO 😹😹😹
season two and three are definitely my favs, I can't wait!!
Got that liquid courage!
I like Ushiwaka because of that. He doesnt have a hidden agenda or ulterior motives.
yeah, he's just blunt xD
Yeah, he's just a big volleyball nerd freak
Bro is just a fact spiting machine
Love how you and Coach Donny managed to see Ushiwaka for who he is, just an honest person. Some people think of him as arrogant, but he just talks honestly, nothing else.
He's just out here spitting straight facts
You sound so surprised, somehow, that those four might not be the best students.
Ushijima's great--he loves volleyball and takes it very seriously (I like that he's excited to play those two at the end of the episode, and notice that he doesn't dismiss Hinata on the basis of his height here), and he's being honest rather than deliberately offensive. But I also like how Hinata, because he loves volleyball so much as well, responds to hearing Ushijima dismiss players who he thinks are strong--and does this by declaring war on him in the coolest imaginable way.
And yes, lots more girl characters (and a couple of grown women) in this season! And lots more characters in general, and you're going to find yourself loving a lot of them.
I absolutely loved this interaction a lot! And you're right he didn't mention the height at all!
Introducing Ushiwaka the Neurodivergent king! XD
How have I never heard this before but it immediately adds up?
@@chadcharest9891 right?! It makes so much sense when you start viewing him through that lens 🥹
21:42 “they’re best friends” I am crying on the floor 😂
They so are
You are 1000% correct about Ushigima, he says exactly what he feels is correct without malice behind his words. I absolutely loved your reaction to seeing Bokuto in the opening and I can't wait for you to actually meet him. (not really spoiler since you saw him in the opening) Such a great first episode and I am so glad I got early access.
Ushijima*
@@Vnemes1sV I knew that wqs wrong when I typed it. But I’m not even the best speller when it comes to English lol
@@amyjohnson3776 thats actually a japanese name. (jk i know you know)
@@smeartyke yes I know. My point was that even in my native language I can’t spell lol
Yes he’s just out here spitting absolute factssss
Highly impressed with this reaction. You're the first person to correctly judge Ushijima at first glance. There was no malice behind his statements. He just lacks tact and just stats facts there is nothing else to it. Most reactors seemed to have taken offense to the way he speaks. You got yourself a new sub.
Bro was just out here spitting straight facts
14:14 That's their test scores. A couple of guys on the team are failing their exams. 🤣
Milk bread is a kind of very fluffy and soft bread that is very popular in Japan. Almost brioche like but with almost not as much butter as brioche bread, it think.
We have it in Germany as well. It’s rad. Not a meal but great with Nutella
@@Anna-zi7sxtry with some butter/margarine and some honey. Stuff slaps more than it has any reason to
Hinata Shoyo, from the concrete.
H A R D
I like the beginning scrimmage match in this episode, it shows the audience that might've spent season 1 learning and trying to acclimate to volleyball what the next level can look like, and sets the tone for the future.
It was a COLD line hahah
I appreciate that all the rival / enemy characters are different in their personality, play style, and goals. The series did a great job at making the characters unique.
Everyone does feel so different you're right
Everyday we move closer to "Hey Hey Hey"
Okay, so the reason for the "nitwit" subtitle is that Japanese for idiot is "baka", which sounds quite a bit like a crow's cawing. That's what we hear in that moment- a crow mouthing off at the two youngsters.
Yep! The crows are saying "aho" which is another word with similar meaning to "baka", though.
@@CaffieneKitty I'm pretty sure I heard "baka", but either way the theme is the same.
@@SpringStarFangirl nah it was 100% "Aho" but yeah they pretty much mean the same thing. One will usually be more likely to be said than the other depending on where in Japan you are. In Tokyo Baka can be used in a joking friendly way, but Aho would be considered offensive. However, in Osaka it's the other way around.
@@alextorry4057 yeah. It's why we hear the twins calling each other "aho" and not "baka"
Birds overhead calling "aho" after a character has a dumb moment is a common comedic trope in anime. Definitely "aho" :>
WOOOO! SEASON 2!
Can’t wait for you to meet my favorite character 🦉
HEY HEY HEYYYYYY
@@-elle-o.o HEY HEY HEYYYYY
HEY HEY HEY
Soooo many new characters already!
My friend as usual, thanks for the fun reaction BUT dont you DARE question Japanese Milk bread! lmao. IT IS SO GOOD!!!
HAHAHAH I question it out of my lack of knowledge
As a manga reader, who read and watched the entirety of Haikyu!! at least 30-40 times, I can attest to this.
Haikyu!! somehow manages to get better and better, find new highs and create even better payoffs.
Especially the things that are not animated yet are absolutely phenomenal. I said it before, but I can HIGHLY recommend any fan to read the manga (content).
The writing in this piece of fiction is truly special, and yet it is casual enough to be enjoyable af even if you don't care or look for writing.
PS: You hit the nail on the head on Ushijima, he is very straight forward and honest. It comes off as cold and rude, but he's genuinely just an honest guy that means no harm.
I'll definitely consider checking it out once I've watched the anime!!
"Is this man Jesus!?" sent me into hysterics 😂😂
The holly one hahaha
"are they doing badly at school?"
I mean, except for Kageyama, they don't look like the studious type-
Hahah yes I should have seen this coming
The way Ushiwaka says "Hinata Shoyo.. Kageyama Tobio" is just so satisfying to hear every time, his voice is top tier.
So excited for season 2!! Probably my fav season.
His fully grown man voice hahah
I'm almost giddy because you are in for such a RIDE this season!! Your reactions almost make it feel like I'm watching it for the first time again!
Thanks so much for your kind words! And I am so eager to make my way through the rest of the season!
I don't know if you read this comment, but I want to share my impressions. I went to the cinema yesterday, the movie "Haikyuu!! The Dumpster Battle", and it was incredible. I won't go into spoilers. i almost cried twice, at the beginning because the scene with Kenma and Hinata made me emotional, and at the end when the match ended. watching Haikyuu!! in the cinema is a completely different level!
like i mentioned in a comment on a different video, season 1 is a fantastic start to the series and really holds its own way more than one might initially expect, but season 2 is itself that much better because it retroactively turns season 1 into the absolute perfect setup for the payoffs we get in season 2, it may actually be perfect in how it executes all the storytelling elements
edit: also in Japan the school buildings are generally standardized in a way where each year gets their own entire floor for their classrooms and activities and such, so it's generally perceived as unusual when an upper-classman is seen on a different floor than their own like Shimizu, a senior, showing up in the 1st-years' hallways
Yes I remember your comment, I am so excited to make my way through this season!
I geniunely cannot wait for you to watch the entire season. Like you said in the beginning the anime keeps getting better but season 2 is such a comfort season. I watch so much everytime i'm sad ot overwhelmed because it's such a good season and you're one of the best reactors to haikyuu soo i'm literally clawing at the walls
Hahah thanks so much for your kind words! I'm super excited to keep making my way through it all!
So hyped for this season though I will be brief today.
I like how on point you are with understanding Ushiwaka - so many people are like "Wow he is so mean and arrogant" while the guy is just blunt as a rock :D
You correctly figured out Shiratorizawa's representation. Shiratori would mean a White Bird - in this case an Eagle. Loved that you even figured out the background detail, I never noticed that the ground behind Ushiwaka is "fertile soil".
The other part of this name window is Ushiwaka. Ushijima is fairly unremarkable - it means Ox Island and doesnt have deeper meaning as far as I can tell. Wakatoshi means "Young advantage" - his name literally comes over as "Ahead of the curve".
As for the whole confusion around the worry of Takeda and the terrified players. Takeda was having a panic attack after seeing their latest tests. He is seriously worried they wont pass and as he established - anyone that doesnt pass wont go to the away games as the repeat exams will be held at the same time. As for who is a good student. They have 5 classes in each year. Class 4 and 5 is always advanced (smarter) - in first year both Tsukki and Yamaguchi are in these. In second year Ennoshita and Narita are advanced. In third year Daichi and Suga are advanced. Dont take this as "everyone who is not advanced is a dumbass" - these are just the guys on the team with the most book smarts. Clearly the really dumb ones are Hinata (unsurprisingly), Kageyama (maybe a bit surprisng), Noya and Tanaka (neither is surprising either when you think about it :D ).
Loved the Coach Carter reference - This is actually very serious thing in Japan - You arent considered a good athlete unless you can do both. Which is why most of the "perfect" players are also like straight A guys (I am sure you know who I am reffering to :P )
It's interesting that you mentioned Bakugo's attack from MHA as he and Nishinoya's voice actor are one in the same: Nobuhiko Okamoto! Also the whole bit of you realizing that the guy in the opening is the same as your "mystery player" plushie *killed* me. XD I think you're gonna like him. He's a hoot!
the realization when he finally saw bokuto hahahaah hey hey heyyyyy
I knew I'd seen him somewhere hahah
4:10 codename: "The Owl". You're gonna like it. Hey, hey, HEY!!!
Ahh, I’m on my way back from watching the movie in theaters and my favourite reaction-channel just uploaded let’s goooooooo
HahahG let’s gooooo! I hope the movie was great!!
Funny when you said bakugo explosion at nishinoya. Because as far as i know they have same voice actor
I'm excited for him to see Bokuto
What I love about the Haikyu community is that none of us want to spoil the unique experience of watching the episodes for the first time
Everyone has been so great to interact with so far!
The movie comes out in the US today, so fuckin hyped. Enjoy season 2 Lachy!
I’ve heard so many people say how much they love it already! I hope it’s great
12:40 milk bread is delicious 🤤 sorry I’m very food motivated, I get distracted easily by it
Hahhaha I can understand that! I'll have to check it out!
NO WAY I MISSED A LACHY HAIKYUU REACTION 😭 ahhhh so excited for s2 reactions hehe
Hahhaa you've caught up now!
the 'Shiratori' in "shiratorizawa' originally means 'swan' but they used different kanji to write it so it can be read as 'white bird', it symbolizes Ushijima as a mighty eagle.
As you said Ushijima is not arrogant (ok a bit) but he has every right to I mean he got selected for the youth national team, that's how strong he is.
The teacher was looking at their grades, in Japan you get numbers from 0-100% and Shoyo, Kags, Noya and Tanaka are not good students and you need 50% to pass, if you don't you need to take lessons and take the test again until you pass
Ah okay thank you so much for breaking that down for me!
Love how Hinata jumping to get the ball.Was exactly what he did in season 1 to get ball away from Tsuki, before the 3 vs 3 match.lol One upping some of the tallest player in the series.....FROM THE CONCRETE....goose bump everytime.
Always showing them he's got those bunnies!
"Niku niku.. Oh niku niku.. " (harmless spolier)
Hahaha I always love to see people’s reaction to the absolutely inspiring music just suddenly cutting off to silence.
In case you haven’t connected it yet, the papers and the file Takeda-sensei was looking at were Tanaka, Nishinoya, Kageyama and Hinata’s test scores. Then you have his reaction to seeing the scores. And you can link why Takeda sensei was purposely looking at the 4 boys when talking about final exams🤭
It was so well done hahaha
Coach Carter was an EPIC movie. Glad you referenced that, I was thinking the same thing when I got here, and was such a good teaching moment.
THE BEST MOVIE!
21:23 Of all the reactors I've watched, you're one of the very few who understands Ushiwaka. He's a straight shooter who doesn't mince with words. He speaks facts. He compliments those whom he perceives as good or great players, like Oikawa. He loves to play with and against great players. And he really dislikes people who "brag" without basis.
He just here spitting straight facts
3:51 owl guy my fav his so noticeable
You are goin to LOVE this season!!!
SOOOO hyped
I am so excited for this season!
I'm beyond excited!
Man, i just love your outro. Puts everything together in a tight bow. I feel like i watched something epic, AND I DID!♥
Such a good decision! ♥
You're doing great! keep going! ♥
Thanks so much for watching the outros! I think they are super great as well and always enjoy making them hahah
He's so not trying to be hurtful, he's just blunt, more than Kageyama, more serious as well, i love Ushiwaka
Yes he's just spitting straight facts
I like the way the German translates it, as It uses asphalt instead of concrete, and it sounds cleaner in my opinion, still such a good episode.
At the war declaration, he basically says: "I'm Shoyo Hinata from the Asphalt, and I love my Asphalt"
THAT"S SICK!
4:00 instantly recognising THE GOAT 🐐🐐🐐🐐
The author names the schools after animals in this series and then uses the imagery to make metaphors. Because Karasuno is symbolized by the Crow she uses a bunch of birds dor the names.
Karasuno - karasu means crow
Nekoma - neko means cat
Shiratorizawa - "shiroi" and "tori" means "white bird" which is a usually meant to be swan but anime uses a white Eagle. Likely because it is more intimidating
Fukurodani (not met yet) - "Fukuro" means owl
Seijo - "Jo" means castle which is why their banner says "Rule the Court"
Inarizaki (not seen yet) - Inari is a Shinto deity said to take the form of a white fox.
Kamomedai (not seen yet) - "Kamome" means seagull.
Itachiyama (not seen yet) - "Itachi" means weasel.
The nickname (combining of his two named) of Ushiwaka is a nod to one of the most famous Samurai warriors in Japanese history. Also means young bull.
I'm glad You noticed the animation improvements. This season has S tier animations :D
Also, that mascot You have, he's the funniest character from this show 🤣
Animation already picking up its great!
LETS GO S2 MY MANNNNN!
Sooooo excited
Damn it, i wish you reacted to this daily, love you reactions, cant wait for your reaction to season 3 and 4!
Hahahha I've got more coming soon! And I am so eager to keep making my way through
@@lachyywhite Cant wait for it!♥
Can’t believe you clocked Ushijima immediately! Most would be pissed at him thinking he’s very arrogant but he’s just really blunt, like you said. He just says it as it is. This is why your reactions are S-tier!!! And the fact that you recognized the same animation was used in the Seijoh match and the OVA? Very few reactors caught that. ❤
Thanks so much for your kind words! It means a lot to me. And Ushijima is just here spitting straight facts
Such a hype episode (like them all) training episodes are the best 👌, new characters and character development. You're gonna love this season.
Sooo hyped for this season, already excited with everything they're showing
Ayee, haikyuu day! The start of season 2!!!🎉
You calling Ushiwaka an adult and on steroids keeps cracking me up 😂 also you're spot on with your assessment of his personality, glad to know you like his character! He's very commonly misunderstood by viewers at the beginning. Not sure if you made the connection but yeah the whole interaction at the end was a continuation of the scene earlier in the episode where Takeda was panicking. He was looking at their test results which were shocking to say the least 😂 so when he was talking about failing tests, he was speaking directly (in an indirect way) to the ones who are failing. And yes, you know how a lot of the schools in the series have like an animal associated with them? Shiratorizawa's "mascot" is an Eagle due to their power and superiority I guess as a predator. This won't be the last reference to the fight between the Eagle and the crows either.
The man child was just here spitting straight facts hahah, and yes I did figure out the connection, our poor lil 4 idiots
Yeaaaaaah, the big 4 idiots are not doing well with studying, shockingly 💖😁 Not sure if you checked out the ending for this season, but I personally love the song 🔥
I haven't watched it yet but I will check it out!
I'm glad you understand Ushiwaka so quickly 😁 yeah Ushiwaka just spitting facts.
And yeah those four guys just sucks at studying and apparently a lot of ppl shocked cuz Kageyama seems smart but his brain is only good to learn volleyball unfortunately 😂
He spit nothing but straight facts
Season 2 hype central baby
Soooo hype!
best season yet! and you know damn well how good s1 was
I know that is a huge statement after how good S1 was!
Yay im glad the trauma of the loss is over. This is my favourite season ❤
4:08 yup :)
HEY HEY HEY!!!
For fans of my boy Bokuto
Just one thing Hey hey heeyy 🎉
Yayyy season 2 has arrived!! Despite being fully caught up with the Haikyuu manga, the arc that this season covers is still my favourite by far! I’m so excited for you to meet some of the new characters and of course spend even more time with the Karasuno boys 😆
I'm so eager to make my way through the season!
SEASON TWOO LETS GO!!!!!
LETTTSSS GOOOO
Hinata Shoyo from the concrete yessssss!!
and you definitely nailed ushiwaka's character lol, he speaks facts or at least what he thinks is facts XD
the way the ost stopped is so funny... but yeah those four don't have good grades, it's why Takeda was freaking out earlier
Ahhhhh okay that makes more sense now, the OST stopping was hilarious hahah
I love how you get to understand Ushiwaka right away!!! He just always speak on FACTS. No underlying meaning. He's just like that.
He be speaking nothing but straight FACTS!
When you paused the intro like "wait a moment, I've seen that hair before!" And then showed the doll, I bursted out laughing His name is Bokuto and he is actually from Fukurodani school (Fukurodani is also the name of the group of schools!!!)
Here is some information from the wiki about Ushiwaka:
Ushijima Wakatoshi is a third year student at Shiratorizawa Academy. He is the captain of the boys' volleyball team. He plays as a wing spiker and is the team's ace. He was the number one ace in Miyagi Prefecture and ranked among the country's top three aces.
AGE:
18
HEIGHT:
189.5 cm (6' 2.6")
WEIGHT:
84.8 kg (187 lbs.)
There is an OVA that occurrs during episode 4, so maybe you can do like a double episode with episode 4 + the OVA its called 'VS "Failing Grades" ' (Japanese: VS "赤点あかてん", VS Akaten)
Ahhhh okay that makes sense!!
Yea, agreed, somehow the next seasons are even better
He's gonna love Bokuto
I've watched the movie at the cinema this evening. I have cried almost all the movie😂😂. Looking forward for your reaction in probably 3-4 months😂 😂
I've had a lot of people telling me it's great!
Tbh, ushiwaka is one of the goated characters in the show
I already like him!
Let’s Heckin go!!!
5:27 I love that you immediately noticed the animation change. The season starts out and continues to be visually more impressive than season 1 hands down
It's already crazier better haha
One episode closer to Bokutooooo
that look at camera after bakugo pun just begging for acknowlegment ^_^
HAHAHAHAHA I couldn't help it!
Fyi, the author of this series used to make horror stories hence the death stare they do from time to time
The concrete imagery is so cool, because only the hardiest plants sprout through the concrete ^_^ karasuno has such a consistent branding lol
HELL YEAH I LOVE THAT
hehe it's funny that you mention bakugou, bakugou and nishinoya actually have the same japanese VA!
ushiwaka is in my top 3 fave players
also, i think ushiwaka isn't really a people person. like yes he's having small talks, even has friends but he's having a hard time expressing his feelings (he just tells you the truth, which might seem rude / cocky to some). his non existent facial expressions aren't helping either i guess lmao
He just out here spitting straight facts!
6:40 Fun fact: bakugo and nishinoya share the same voice actor.
Yes so cool!
Hyped for season 2 🔥 The volume was low for the anime can you please turn it up a bit 🔊
HEY HEY HEY!
ushiwaka is one of my favorite lil guys
Hahaha ye he so “lil”
Ushiwaka is one of my favorites
He spitting straight facts
I don’t know if you know this or have been told…the voice actor for Bakugo from MHA and Nishinoya are the same. Okamoto Nobuhiko
7:10 he has a few times, luckily
13:43 but like outta 40 or smth
20:25 hehe you thought it was cool when Daichi was standing on a branch above the others, but a little bit of farmerjima and it's ridiculous 😤
(Lol only Shouyou is allowed to look crazy, then?)
23:15 thank.youuu
From the concrete!!!!
Forged from cement!
YEAH HINATA SHOYO FROM THE CONCRETE
REPRESENT!
OH YEAH LASSGOOO!!
LETSSSS GOOOOOO
Only if they stood on the dam line day 1
HAHHAHAH YES!
Yeah yeah yeah!!!!
I'm seeing the movie in a few hours :)
NICE!
Hypekyuu!
Leeeeeeeezzzzzzzz Gooooooooo!
