Oikawa is stronger than Sakuna btw
This is the best comment I've received so far
AHAHAHAHAH
AHAHHAHAHA...domain expansion "full court domination!"...the close-ups, the badass mastermind music, the impact...the screams hahhahaha nice nicccceeeeeee
Factual statement
oikawa worse villain then sukuna confirmed
23:11 "I don't want them to lose this game now, and I don't want Karasuno to lose this game..." Ladies and gentlemen, we got him
HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAH
Iwaizumi is such a wildly underrated character, and it’s great to see you appreciate him
He is superrr cool so far, I really like his character design
true!!!
Bro Iwaizumi is hands down my favorite character in Haikyuu overall. I absolutely love his character and his personality, plus he’s hot as hell 😏 But like I always get so annoyed when reactors are like “who’s that” or forget about him because he practically shows up on screen ALMOST as much as Oikawa
P.S. Iwaizumi spiking is so epic but Iwaizumi on defense is one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever seen in my entire life 🙏🙏
I love Iwaizumi!!!! Yes, that's what I always say... he is sooo underreated!! He is in my top 5 since the beginning!!!
I really love that the Aoba Johsai coach gives the team the space to think and make decisions for themselves, only stepping in when he needs to. That kind of soft approach lets the players get so much smarter and adaptive together
Could not agree more! he is seeming like a very good coach
I do love that they gave Yamaguchi a highlight moment to show off his role on the team, but _didn't_ nail it on the first try. I think it's important both narratively as well as to make it more grounded in reality that not everyone on the team is a full-fledged badass right out the gate. Between the three other monster first-years, Yamaguchi has found himself a niche that complements the others, but that he still needs to polish and refine before it can become a linchpin for the team. "You'll get the next one" is so much more uplifting than if he had just waltzed out and gotten several service aces in a row on his first try.
It's the fact that he failed on his first try that makes Yamaguchi my favorite character, starting with this episode and going forward. I feel like I can relate to him because of that, the feeling like everyone around you is so much further ahead of you, and the desire to catch up and be included. I'm inspired by his drive to seek out additional help in order to improve, and how, despite how nervous he was, he tried anyway. But especially his expression when Daichi told him to make it next time, his smile at hearing those words meaning he won't let this first attempt define him, there will be more chances and he'll need to be ready for them. It makes me so excited to see his growth going forward - even knowing what happens, I just love his arc so much.
They conveyed it very well and showed that you can’t always learn things that fast. I did really appreciate diachi continuing to hype him up and encourage him
I swear everytime there's a flashback of Tobio when he was little the only thing that crosses my mind is how they watched him go from a sweet little boy to the tyrant king of the court and nobody even tried to ask if he was ok. And then they go and blame him for being an awful teammate.
AMEN! Their old coach is the only real villian
I be getting more stressed then my in real life games...
So, just for context (not spoiler), because the anime doesnt portray this as well imo, what makes Oikawa disliking Kageyama and Ushiwaka, is because they are "geniuses", Oikawa is talented but at the same time he's a grinder, i'm not saying genius players doesn't train hard but we see a lot of unbelivable natural talent, athletes that are 'instinctively' good. Is like one of the earlier episodes in the season when we meet Nishinoya, and Noya is teaching Hinata how to receive, and the way he teaches is just "whoom, zoom, bump", because deep down Noya doesnt know how to explain how to do it, he just "does it", and in that scene Kageyama was like "what? I understood what he meant." and Tanaka says "thats because you and noya are from the same species", both are natural geniuses. Oikawa is not that, hes talented but not a ultra genius player, like Kags, noya and Ushiwaka
we all do man, we all do...
Kageyama meant that Hinata is so good at being a decoy that even when the right decision was to set to Asahi he almost subcounciously set to Hinata.
Ahhh okay I get you!
13:19 I do love that they chose to include and animate this tiny moment where Kageyama side-eyes Tsukki's decision to feint 3x in a row. Kageyama says nothing. He's wondering and a bit worried about what Tsukki's planning, because it's not the move he would choose to do for himself, but Kageyama allows Tsukki to attack the way he wants. GROWTH.
18:00 I got flak from die-hard Kageyama lovers and die-hard Oikawa haters online, but I noticed that Oikawa's setter journey is quite similar to Kageyama's setter journey. They both had promise, but failed to reach nationals in junior high. They both went through a phase where it's all "I alone can lead the team to victory". Both got benched, and both lashed out at their teammates. The unfortunate thing for Kageyama is that he didn't have an Iwa-chan back in junior high. Oikawa had that 1 friend/teammate who calls him out on his BS, and who is close enough that Oikawa valued his opinon. Kageyama didn't. A lot of other players tried to call out Kageyama in junior high. Turnip-head is one of them. But he didn't have a close enough relationship with them to value their opinion above his own.
44:29 I know it feels weird, but it's actually pretty wholesome. Japan has a hellish work culture, so rarely do parents/families come and support players especially in the local/low level scene. At most, students with free time will support their classmates. And, volleyball wasn't popular in Japan until Haikyuu blew up. So the context of mid-20s dudes who love volleyball trying to educate casual fans is actually pretty cool. Those girls were initially there just because they're crushing on Oikawa. But now, they have a better understanding of the game, and have better respect for the players, not just Oikawa.
SO MUCH GROWTH!! and you're right there is a lot of similarities between their journeys. I hope they can both come out of it better and keep growing!
The music is probably what gets videos copyrighted, so only having the audio is fine to me. The soundtrack is epic and definitely sets the mood, but just being able to hear any audio is nice.
Agreed.
Yeah, I agree, there's nothing more frustrating than watching a youtube video only for the audio to cut out because of copyrighted music, so I'm totally fine with not having the music for that reason.
Agreed
People often forget how young all of them are. Of course Oikawa is childish. He is 15 in junior high and now maybe 17 or just 18. It must be insanely frustrating to always practice and practice and than that genius first year just comes around. But i agree the coaches just suck.
The coach is the only villain so far hahah
Becuase Hinata is closing his eyes, they figure leaving a hole up in front doesn't matter since his always hitting it full force in the direction his body is facing. This is where closing his eyes becomes a liability.
Okay I get you, that makes more sense!
Kageyama’s journey of learning how to interact with other people/his teammates is one of my favourite arcs throughout this series. He struggles with reading social cues and he’s really awkward, but he’s trying so hard, and it’s so sweet. (Him offering Oikawa a tissue when Oikawa’s trying to dramatically challenge him is a direct result of that misreading of social situations, but it’s also the funniest thing ever to happen.)
This is the episode where I think I value Iwaizumi the most. He’s such a good friend-completely not condoning Oikawa’s lashing out at Kageyama, but also giving him the support that he needs (because their coach is just … absent from all of this??) and reminding him of the things he needs to hear.
Yes kageyamas communication is some of the funniest parts of the show. And it seems the only real villain so far is their old coach hahah
Haikyuu is a show with no villains, just opponents.
You start only rooting for the main characters, and then they show you the backstories of the players in other teams, and it makes you realize that, had the story been about any of the other teams, you wouldnt have rooted for karasuno.
Usually in this type of shows you only see the story of the main characters and that makes you indifferent to the opponents, they become just another obstacle to defeat; but by showing us what they have been through it makes them sympathetic, and it makes you wish for a way in which everyone wins and no one has to loose, because you suddenly find yourself not wanting to see this new team you have just see the backstory of, loose.
You just cant help but rooting for everyone, even if just a little bit, or for just one point when they do something amazing; the sense of camraderie in this anime is what makes it stand out so much, what makes it so great.
I'm definitely getting sucked into this mindset more and more
Yaaassss finally Oikawa’s backstory.. the final arc of the Lachy-Oikawa enemies to lovers has entered the chat 😂 but srsly, I’m glad you understood where he was coming from and just how he’s so lucky to have Iwaizumi as his support through those tough times 🥹
And you got so red when Yamaguchi hit the ball on his foot!!! 😂😂😂 the secondhand embarrassment is real poor bb 😂
HAHAHAH it definitely helped to understand where he is coming from, and when he lost the ball I almost died of embarrassment
I love how there are no vilains in Haikyuu just characters from different team passionate abt volley-ball ❤
True..but Nohebei def got me agitated.
Lacchy's tsundere arc is just Oikawa.
bc that's life irl we don't have super villains just people you like and people you don't (semi-quote from Sherlock)
Other then kageyamas old coach…
@@lachyywhite i was mostly talking abt the players of each teams 😁
Regarding Oikawa backstory - A lot of people gave shit to Oikawa about the outburst at Kags but honestly I get it, he is having a panic attack and with Kageyama's airheaded 0 awareness he isnt helping. Thankfully Iwaizumi is always there to keep Oikawa straight. Regarding the "teach me how to serve" notice that the serve routine of Kageyama and Oikawa is the same, except Kageyama prerolls his ball the other direction before tossing it up. In a way he did teach Kageyama, though it was through observation.
Also I wouldnt say he "hates" Kageyama really - its more of he considers him a rival and someone to beat - its not as if he is wishing him ill or anything, he is just saying "I will always prove I am the better player"
About Kageyama's shock - Hinata yelled so sincerly and jumped so confidently he nearly gave it to him purely on reflex and instinct - it just shows how hungry Hinata is - he almost ate up Kageyama at that moment.
Regarding Sejoh anti-Hinata tactic: Hinata's spikes are currently still very light and he has pretty much no ability to control the ball in that motion leading to a really narrow possible area for spike. This means that it is a lot easier to react to it than anyone else and the Seijoh libero is just good enough to manage that. Personally I would still go with a single commit blocker since its massive gamble with Hinata's abilities not being up to par but it is pretty sensible all things considered.
Yeah I could definitely understand where he was coming from, I think he still deals with some things immaturely unfortunately
@@lachyywhite I mean, he is 14/15 and under a lot of stress, you can't blame him for some level of immaturity. Plus the adults on the team failed him (and Kageyama too in his third year) big time.
Lower audio is the safest against getting copyright strikes here in YT. 😊
Oikawa is very childish but that makes his work ethic shine even more, imo. I think his dislike of Kageyama is from his feud with Ushiwaka (the hitter from Shiratorizawa that they have talked about) He sees Kageyama as a prodigy and another step to conquer before he can take on Shiratorizawa. I don't agree with his reaction but I do think his childishness makes him flawed and relatable.
They did a really good job this episode of making you switch from disliking him to understanding so quick
Welcome to the joys of Haikyuu: you hate basically no one, you root for everyone, and when someone inevitably loses you are sad lol
the reaction on yamaguchi bouncing off the ball on his feet 😭 even sarah had the same reaction lol
I was dying inside hahahah
To all us fans: if he can hear the music, what's the problem? People seem selfish in the comments. "I want to hear the music."
Then YOU go rewatch it. I'm here for his reactions, not to basically rewatch the show on my own terms.
The audio in this reaction was just fine. Don't listen to pushy fans who want to relive moments in their own way.
i second this!!
I appreciate being able to hear the dialog, and as long as he's watching with the full audio, Its fine with me.
Couldn't agree more.
well in my case.. i want to rewatch haikyuu and see his reaction.. you cant really call it selfish because he himself ask us how we think.. its an opinion
I appreciate this! I’ll keep testing and find a good middle ground but I agree with what you said 👑
Bro don't call the alums in the stands old, they are like 26 if they are the same age as Ukai 😂
NO WAY! I've played myself..... 😂😂
Also, I'm sure someone's already said it, but since Miyagi (where this takes place) is a small prefecture only one high school team goes on to represent them at Nationals.
Can we all agree given what we now know about Kageyama and Oikawa's trauma that Kitagawa's coach sucks??
SAY IT LOUDER
People say this series has no villains, when the Kitagawa coach IS RIGHT THERE.
The Oikawa flashback always makes me tear up 😭😭😭... In some way, shape, or form we have all experienced exactly how Oikawa felt at that time. Hell, maybe even the admiration Kageyama felt for someone deemed a great player to then morph into a rivalry of trying to supercede said rival that you can't help but still admire.
They did such a great job of making you instantly go from disliking him to understanding his motivation
That animation of feeling the pressure when yamaguchi steps on the court😭😭 it’s such a great representation.
23:13 MEEEEEEEE every time Oikawa is on screen. It’s always a house divided
Also just my preference but music always draws me in emotionally so I prefer to hear the music esp in those hype moments but u do u and what ever works for u. We appreciate u either way🥰🥰
That whole part with yamaguchi was done superrrrr well
Yay!! Double episode!!!
Letsss goooooo
These episodes really show why Iwaizumi is in my top 5. He's criminally underrated but he's such a good character
He did sooo welllll
wow a double episode?? btw after s1, you need to watch the OVA "Arrival of haiba lev" before s2
Yes a little treat, and I will definitely be checking that out!!
Music is core to building the emotions. Part of the reason why some viewers want to hear the music is to live the moment with you as the reactor.
There are also people who do not mind the absence of music and care just about your reaction. This will be your main viewer group.
I finally caught back up! Yay! I love the different perspectives here. To Kageyama, Oikawa is the ideal setter and what he pictures as his goal and to Oikawa, Kageyama seems to be gifted with everything he lacks. I love the character writing here, yes these boys are awesome but they’re also just young men struggling with insecurities and doubts like the rest of us.
Thanks so much for all your comments! I promise I read each one and I really appreciate your insights and stories to go along with
@@lachyywhite the genuine appreciation you have and the willingness to really interact with your community is why I take the time to always leave a comment. This videos do not feel like me watching TH-cam it feels like movie night with the boys. I love hanging out here on haikyuu days and seeing you get hype and slowly fall in love with all my favorite characters and I also love reading everyone else’s comments. This is a really fun community you’ve got growing here.
you walking out when oikawa went up to serve was hilarious. the bitterness is bitter today lol and then CUT TO FLASHBACK and suddenly you empathize with him. nseaky sneaky storytelling ay.
and then mad at oikawa for defending the line and then attacking 🤣
28:56 "no bro, why are they getting all the good noises?!?" 🤣🤣🤣 first time i've heard it said like that
"aim for the line, noone ever defends it!.. except for oikawa apparently!" 🤣
you really have me reliving how fucking hype this series is, your bird screech 48:15 gave me life 🤣
"i know there has to be a winner and loser, but do we have to this time?" is the haikyuu experience
The episode had me so stressed hahah
Most reacters watching episode 22: "Oikawa is now irredeemably evil."
You: "Oh he must be having a panic attack."
Good job actually understanding what the character was going through.
Gotta always wear the other persons shoes!
Imagine watching these weekly!!! The amount of blue balls with each cliffhanger is..... idk wanna even talk about it! Great video as usual can't wait to see your reaction to the season finale
Watching these weekly would literally kill me hahaha
The only thing I would miss is the volleyball sounds lol. Ball hitting blocks, the ball hitting the player's hands and the floor. It's music to my ears lol. I'm glad I can hear it a bit in this video! But having the music out is fine by me since it makes it easier for you!
Hmmm that’s a great point, let me keep playing with it
people (some more jokingly than others) like to act like Oikawa is some kind of wicked anime villain, but he isn’t really. (in the flashback) he's a 13yo with a passion/drive for volleyball too big for him to handle emotionally (similarly to kageyama) and having a panic attack. The fact he’s so hated tho (a rarity, especially in the haikyuu fandom where we like everyone) is a testament to how well he is written to me, how good of an opponent he is, and how-hard-to-overcome of a hurdle he represents. Thing is, by the end of the series, it’s very hard not to love or at the very least respect him as a character and as a player.
I am definitely gaining more respect for him now that I am understanding him more! Everyone has their challenges they have to go through
I'M BACK FOR ZERO HOUR GAAAAAAAANG!!! Been busy this week but here we are again with more PEAKyuu!!
Letsss gooo! Sorry for the late reply
About Kageyama : ppl said he is a control freak. But we can see here how quick he can adjust. From trying to smile (scarily😂), trying to compliment and doing highfive, communicating with Tsukki and ask Asahi how he like the toss. Imo Kageyama is an idealist, he has his own view. But when his view is being challenged (nicely) it doesn't take him a long time to adjust his view and be accommodating. For me it's not a dictatorship, just a hot headed idealistic teenager. He's very hard on himself that's why he also have very high expectations on others. When that expectations are not met, he got frustated and prefer to do everything himself and ended up being isolated. Don't you feel it's weird a 15 yo boy doesn't know how to high five, or smile naturally? 😬
About Oikawa : ppl relate to him much more than they do with Kageyama. It's easy to see ourselves as someone who is being challenged by a younger and more talented teammate. And what better way to deal with that situation other than being petty and hostile, right? Sure, it's hard being the 1st loser. But ppl will relate more to 1st loser than with the so called ✨️genius✨️. Ppl will give their highest respect to 1st loser who work so hard to achieve their goals. While the ✨️genius✨️ Kageyama has privilege, how annoying right? I mean, who cares if Kageyama is just an innocent 12yo who just wanted to be as cool and strong as his senpai who is also his team Captain, who refuse to teach him anything? Why would a team captain help and teach how to serve to his younger genius teammate who will became a threat in the future, right? Very relatable indeed!
And Oikawa wonder what Suga has told Kageyama kinda made me laugh. Cuz Suga just told Kageyama that he is not alone, that he has the team to support him and vice versa Kageyama's existance will support the team. Oikawa can say the same thing to Kageyama if he stop being condescending to Kageyama everytime they met. But that is why Haikyuu is interesting, nobody is perfect. All characters have flaws.
Sorry for a very long comments 😅 hope you wont get bored seeing my comments 😊
Thanks so much for your comment and I really like the way you've put so much of it! I think kageyama is such an interesting character and I really admire the competitive and controlling side of him! But it is great to see him growing and adapting
Music on low is the best! reason>>> The music adds so much feelings and hype to the show, if I can hear it too, if feels more like we are watching it together and getting hype about a amazing anime as a group! If the music is there, it is more immersive I think!
Thanks so much for your feedback! That makes so much sense!
Cackle seeing you stressed about Oikawa's serves every time (and I mean, who isn't) - the author actually lamented having quite a few opposing teams with strong servers, because it made putting Karasuno in a pinch much easier :"D
double episode is such a good idea I'm sooo glad (but still not enough tbh😂)
and yesss my boy Yamaguchi started his arc, you definitely will love him because he's the best!! Oikawa's story doesn't look very sad at first glance and it's easy to say something like "he's just very envious and doesn't know how to lose", but it's actually so frustrating when you work so much and keep loosing despite your efforts just because you are not that talented. He's not a genius but he puts so much efforts. The most sad thing about it it's the fact that even if Oikawa do his best and reach his maximum potential, he will still lose to anyone who is more genius than him. Btw I don't know if you remember, but in the practice match (the very first match with Seijou) Oikawa came late in the game and had a knee injury. Apparently, he still works so hard that he gets himself injured...
I need the «urururu» at every Tanaka's attack it sounds hilarious
thank youu again I'm waiting for the next episodes sooo much🔥🔥🔥
Yes indeed I can definitely appreciate him more now and relate to his situation more myself!
ive watched so many people react to haikyuu!! but yours are definitely on my top now 😊
Thank you so much! That is incredibly high praise and means the world to me!
So good to see you actually trying different things with the audio. For the last one - the complete lack of music did hamper the watch along, specially in scenes like when kageyama and suga were having the back and forth dialogues.
Music toned down is fine, as long as we get to hear a little bit of it, it helps set the mood. The music on this one was extremely low though. Would be great if it were a little louder. Thanks for taking inputs!
Thanks so much for your feedback! I’ll keep playing with and see what I can create
Love double episodes!
-no one likes it when Oikawa serves!
-when flash backs happen you know your feels are in danger. But man they are so good!!
-I think Oikawa hates Kagayama because he sees him as just a genius and doesn’t see that in himself. To him he thinks he will always have to work harder to still not be sure if he can be better than Kagayama.
-I think everyone is confused at first with the sudden point jump in the second episode you watched.
-I think this finals set is the most intense all the way through!
-Yamaguchi has my heart. And this is the episode he earned it.
-that last set/point is amazing!
-man I love this show! Can’t wait to see the rest of this show with you!!!! ❤❤❤
He is serving all the time I swear!
21:37 is a REAL sigh cuz Lachy knows that he cannot deny liking Oikawa anymore. It's amazing that you share your own story, that is so similar to Oikawa's back story. These stories just make me respect athletics like you even more. The dedication must be CRAZY!
These 2 episodes really show the intensity of the tournament and how characters/ppl can learn and even change a bit during a game. It's just amazing. When's the next video again? lol (So excited for the next round cuz I personally love S2 sooo much, can't wait!!)
BTW the audio is totally fine to me! Thank you for trying different ways! tbh I just play the exact same episode on Netflix with sound on so i can hear both Lachy and the anime. And i just pause whenever you pause to speak.
I definitely can understand him a lot more now that I know his story. I really appreciate your feedback on the audio and kind words! Next episode is on Friday morning Aus time!
one thing that i love about the show (might be a bit underrated): how the coaches of different teams see karasuno. especially the ones they've faced / played already. they have nothing but respect and awe for them, acknowledge how far they've come. love it!
I'm really glad we are seeing better coaches for all the boys in high school compared to the ones in primary school hahah
I like having a little bit of the music and sfx. No music is safest for copyright but the soundtrack and sound effects are such an important part of the storytelling. This episode was really good.
Okay amazing, thank you for your feedback! I’ll definitely experiment a bit more
These episodes are soooo good! The tension, the buildup and the imagery.
This is where the magic of this show truly starts to shine. Absolutely love it.
I honestly can't wait until you get to see more of Tanakas character, in a show full of favorite characters he is one I truly admire.
The tension is killing me more then a normal game hahaha
haikyuu has some of the tensest moments i’ve ever encountered
Got me gonna pass out
this is amazing. you're insanely into it and it's stressing me out too ahaha. I will say that it would be better if there were a bit of music. would definitely add to the atmosphere and the stress you're feeling as well.
Wooo double episode, that stand up for oikawa serving had me weak 😂. Audio is all good my guy, can't wait for the next episodes and season 2 which is my favourite
Almost at season 2 now!! And thanks as always, I always appreciate you 👑
I'll be watching this as soon as I step foot inside my house RAAAHHH YAMAGUCHI MY BOY 😭😭😭
edit: im back 😼
i really REALLY love how kageyama is starting to be more open not only to feedback but also to build healthy relationships with his team, he's such a cutie patootie 🤏🏻
Also Tsukki's thought process always gets me 🧎🏻♂️ you'll see more of it in next seasons but he's like- 3k IQ 😹
oikawa has been surpassed by prodigies almost all his volleyball life and it hits even harder when you realize that, unlike Oikawa, these prodigies don't have to practice until they get injured to be /better/ than him. That's how i interpret part of him and the despise he feels towards Kageyama and Ushijima.
SORRY I WROTE TOO MUCH these last episodes make me feel so nostalgic 😭
cAN'T WAIT FOR THE NEXT EPISODES, I'M SO HYPED, thank you so much for the double reaction, loved it! I also appreciate the words at the end, thanks 💗
I always appreciate you for being here to watch! I’m really glad you enjoyed the double reaction as well, next one is a double as well!
Oh yeah the cliffhangers get ROUGH during matches, especially the longer ones 😂 Oikawa is def one of my fave non Karasuno characters, he’s such a goof sometimes, especially with Iwaizumi. I’m so looking forward to the next two episodes!! We’re so close to the end of the season🎉
Btw, about the audio I really don’t care much about how much I’m able to hear from the episode since imo the most important part is your reactions (that’s why we’re here) tbh I only need the subtitles since I’ve seen this so many times😂 so whatever keeps the reactions from getting striked is fine for me 👍🏼
The cliff hangers are absolutely killing me! And thank you very much for your kind words, I'll keep testing it hahah
I like it when you can hear the anime's voice/speaking audio - but do whatever works best when editing (and for copyright)!
And yes, this game (and some others) had me cheering out loud!
Amazing thank you! I’ll keep testing to see what works best
I really liked the audio for those 2 episodes. The music added to the mix make it difficult to focus on what you are saying and cause copyright problems - so to me this type of audio you used now is the best.
I'll keep giving it an experiment! I appreciate your feedback so much
I love what you've done with the audio! I remember asking you (I think in the last video) if you could turn the volume up just a little bit, but I didn't think you'd experiment like that
Thanks so much for your feedback again! I think I’ll keep playing with a bit more for next episode
I knew you'll fall in love with Oikawa 😂. I also saw your little smiles to Tsukki 😂.
Oikawa going in spiral is so toxic thankfully he have Iwaizumi from the start.
I laugh out loud when you said said that the alumnais are old, well they kinda do (not during that time though), even Hinata is older than us now but he's still my baby😭 (Hinata is 28 now in 2024).
How's a little behind watching so that's my fault, but I love about this episode especially that puts into a lot of perspective, is the way that wakawa deals with things that he doesn't like, while incredibly annoying, is his way of coping with certain things and not flashing out in a more negative way. If you're such a deep and interesting character that I love that even if you don't necessarily like him as a character you can at least understand him
Ugh. So excited. Let's go
28:40 the excerpt from the opening. On the chorus.
28:50 lol speaking like they're Nekoma
32:15 i love that he has enough rapport/charisma to choose Yamaguchi to do this on
32:46 do i know 🥺 the line yeah, but your disappointment with receives beh
34:54 pipe pen-- I'll find some jp subs bc I feel they wouldve used English like theyve been doing
(Though when they use literal English, it's actually being localized.
No one is actually saying "dump, setter dump, net violation, or wipe"
Like if you listen without trying to understand or get the story
Takeda especially is the one saying "Two-attack" for dumps
(Cause...attacking on 2/2nd touch? iirc?)
Two-attack, touch-net, and block-out.
(For reference moments : when Oikawa does his dump on the first point, maybe the crowd shouts it for Kageyama's return dump as well)
Touch-net ; when Aone (no-eyebrows from Dateko) touched the net (and you said he _violated_ the net)
Block-out I'll need to find...
Oh! And "let serve" ? is "net-in"
...basically if you listen back and don't read, the terms used are more direct and self-explanatory
Like block-out ; he hit it off the block, and it went in
Net-in ; it hit/touched the net, but it's in
Two-attack ; attack on 2nd touch/contact (setter usu.)
And Touch-net ; someone touched it
👍
Localization makes listening feel weird for me in anime sometimes, but I also just wanted to mention it once I was reminded with that "pipe penetration" line
37:30 U.Keishin just shortens it to "two" here
Loving the use of that vocals boosting tool! glad we gained something good from the misfortune of the wrong mic fiasco. I called it when watching that episode XD
Hahahah exactly!! We knew there'd be a silver lining
Amazing double episode I loved it great to see you watch this game and I get what you meant by you we’re rooting for both teams to win you get that feeling a lot in haikyu
I'm definitely getting sucked into that way of thinking more and more!
I used to hold that flashback moment against Oikawa so hard, but after a few rewatches and seeing other people's takes on it I do think it was forgivable. Not only was Kageyama brand new to the team and all of his teammates at that time, but for being a setter at heart he also ironically has severely low social awareness. The only thing that mattered to him in jr high was getting better at volleyball, so the only times he ever approached Oikawa it was to ask for help or advice regarding his technique, never to banter or actually try to establish a friendship. If the only way you ever approach someone is to ask them for something, it can be very grating & come off like you're just using them, so it's not very surprising that Oikawa would lash out in a moment of weakness like that. The fact that Kageyama didn't even seem to register what happened is a testament to how little he actually cared about how Oikawa was feeling, all he heard was 'no' and basically just shrugged & walked off. Not saying hitting someone like that is ever the right thing to do, but for that situation it's at the very least understandable from Oikawa's perspective.
Iwaizumi is such an underrated character, he's exactly what Oikawa needs to push him forward and keep him in line. The one amazing friend everyone needs in their life.
One thing i absolutely love about this match against Seijoh is how Kageyama starts to adapt his sets to the spikers. He's learning how to bring 100% out of every spiker and how relationships between teammates effect the play of Seijoh. His development is definitely one of the best parts of this game.
Can't wait for the next reaction, episode 24 had me on the edge of my seat!!! I had to physically do something with my body to get rid of all the tension before i could continue watching 😂
We all need a friend like Iwaizumi! and I am loving the character growth we are seeing throughout these episodes!
I really love the audio quality first of all :)
I waited for this, I love Oikawas backstory so much and the way he overcame his complex :) his attitude towards Kags is a bit childish but I guess that's how he deals with his inferiority complex that sometimes surfaces when he is around. Like I said before Tooru is not a genius just a very hardworking person and that really shows here :)
what you said really resonates with me, there are sports animes where you just want the one team to win but with Haikyuu, you get to know the teams (later on) and the backstory that comes with it and suddenly who are so torn because you want both teams to succeed and I love that
Yes indeed, now that I understand his past I can understand his current behavior a lot better! I'm keen to see him continue to grow
I was shocked that this was almost an hour long but not complaining!! Love the audio btw. aaaaaaaaaaaaand congrats on the 5k subs!!!
Hahah yes a longer one today! And thank you so much for your kind words! I'm still blown away we have 5000 people here!
hell yeah, love a double episode!
so happy you got to oikawa’s backstory and were able to understand him a little better. he’s so complex, even though he’s immature as hell (i’d say he’s just silly)
yamaguchi is honestly one of my favorite characters in this series, he just needs some more practice and A LOT more confidence in himself to be truly great.
forgot how crazy the end of this episode is, can’t wait to see your reaction to the rest of this game!
It's definitely helped getting to know his back story! I am superrrrr excited to see how this season is going to end though!
Your comparison between Sugawara and Oikawa as setters is a first for me to hear from this show's reactors. Love it.
I'm really glad you like the comparison! They both have some great qualities
I think this audio is great! I can hear what’s happening really well. (I’m bilingual so I don’t really read the subtitles and just listen lol)
Love your videos, they make my day :)
Thanks so much for your kind words and feedback! I hope you have an amazing rest of your day
Late to watch as busy week. Wanted to say I like being able to hear the dialog. The music is iconic enough that I can hear it anyways 😅
Thanks so much for coming back to watch! And I really appreciate your feedback on the music
YAMAGUCHI MY BOY 😭 I am SO excited you've made it this far, been looking forward to this since we saw Yamaguchi seek out extra training! I love that this is the point that changed the momentum for Karasuno, not because he made it, but because he didn't, but he tried anyway. It shouldn't make sense that losing a point, especially on a serve, before the other side has a chance to stop it, should be what changed their mood, but I think they reacted to the emotion of the moment, that someone who was on the sidelines, who isn't a genius or naturally gifted, stepped onto the court and felt all the attention and pressure centered on him...and failed. And though he was upset to have let them down, he isn't going to run away, he wants another chance to do it differently. It's almost like when Yamaguchi stepped back off the court, he took that pressure with him, because now thet have to win so that there will be a next time for him. At least that's how I read the moment, and why they take so long on it when it resulted in a point for Seijoh.
Also, I'm laughing so much, knew you'd come around on Oikawa, it happens to all of us. He seems like he's being set up as the "boss battle" for Karasuno to defeat on their way to reach nationals, only for the story to create sympathy for Oikawa and make it that much harder to root against him. I think Haikyuu does this perfectly, as it increases the tension for the audience, when you're torn on seeing someone lose thr game, their goals, their dreams, their ambitions... So much more effective than if the story made it easy to root against Seijoh. The next two episodes are going to get even more intense because of that; the game againat gravity will always eventually end one way, with the ball dropping to the ground.
One last thought (sorry this is so long), but I really appreciate the flashback with Iwa and Oikawa, not only for Oikawa's development, but also because it highlights what Kageyama was missing: someone to refocus his ambition, to help him see the game as one he wins individually vs one he wins as part of a team. Kageyama was alone, he didn't have an Iwaizumi to tell him the hard truths, at least until he went to Karasuno and got properly schooled by Daichi and Suga, and humbled by Hinata. Clearly their middle school coach didn't know how to properly mold the boys for all the psychological aspects of the game, to their detriment.
Can't wait for the next episodes!🤗
This was a great episode for character development and the action of the game! I loved the development of Oikawa and how much better I can understand him now! and it does make me sad that Kageyama didn't have that person but at least he's surrounded by good people now
Season 2 Coming up !!!!! LEzzzz Goooo!!! Again
Sooooo close now!
"pipe penetration" and here i died and omg seeing them super tired gets me super tired too
It absolutely caught me off gaurd!

Thanks so much brother! I really appreciate your kind words
THIS AUDIO FORMAT IS THE BEST! ALSO FIRE TIMMY! >:D
FIRE TIMMY!!
Don't forget that episode 24 has a post credit scene!
Yes amazing!!
I love the audio decision for this episode! Love the double episode!
You look so stressed omg 😭 I can’t wait for next episode
My heart can't take it hahaha
WOOOO IM SO EXCITED FIR THESE EPISODES!!!!
The whole series does a good job of pacing, in my opinion. So don't worry, season 2 is going to be just as good if not better. There's lots of great games to watch ahead
Soooo excited!!
Lezzzzzzzzzz Gooooooooooo!!!!!!
Being 2nd as often is a compliment to me at least, because it only means that you are consistent at what you do especially if the one in the first place is changing every time.
That is a very good way to look at it! Thankyou for giving me that perspective!
music on low level, love it!
double ep??!i laughed so SO hard with this one...nice reaction! the panic..."did i pick the right episode???!" hahahahahah "why are they getting all the good noises??!"
I had a mini heart attack hahah
"I don't know why I want seijoh to win"
welcome to the haikyuu.effect. you'll be saying that a lot in the future. not just for seijoh, but for pretty much every opponent we meet. the author is just THAT good at making compelling characters. I would even go so far as to borrow a line from a different show:
"we have no enemies"
WE HAVE NO ENEMIES!!
After credits next episode
Amazing thank you so much!
Quiet music is better than no music, on the video where the music was gone entirely it felt really strange because you expect it to be there lol. But the thing that stops the copy strike bots is the best in the end.
I'll try and balance it a bit more going forward
49:19 and that is the true dilemma of Haikyuu! 🤣🤣🤣
But I seriously can't wait for the next episode. I really d believe that episode 24 is the most impactful episode of the season and can't wait to see your reaction and take on it.
double episode!!
48:10 top 5 tragic deaths caught on camera
The cliff hangers always be hitting me bro
You're doing it again 😩😫
This man has to be stopped
@lachyywhite smth about the tpain 🎶haiiii--kyuuuuoouuu dayyyy🎶 got me hyped, really excited for this and the next double ep.
HAhahaha I'm glad the singing comes in well sometimes
Next episode is going to be so good. Love your reactions!
Been killing the vids bro sorry I been busy but I just caught up on all your recent uploads
Totally fine brother! I understand you're super busy, the best thing about youtube is you can watch when ever you like
Regarding Kageyama's comment on getting his toss stolen, he's just addressing how Hinata convinced not just the opponents, but even the setter Kageyama himself that Hinata is the one the toss will go to, emphasizing his monstrous ability as the Ultimate decoy. As always, love the reactions!
He's fulling fulfilling his role as the ultimate decoy
Now you know part of the reason why I like Oikawa and why some of us the fans want Oikawa to win even though we want Karasuno to win at the same time. It is definitely bittersweet
Hahaha yes I have a better understanding now!
Bro Caseoh creepin in the background 💀
IDK how my wall is holding it up
Iwa-chan is the man
He is pretty great so far!
Oikawa's animosity towards Kageyama definitely stems from insecurity. He wants to beat the best to become the best, but a prodigy setter comes into the picture and has the potential to surpass him, and that makes him insecure of his own abilities, despite his hard work. That is what causes his panic and overworking
Yes of course that makes total sense. I definitely understand him better now that I know his back story
Zero minute gang let’s gooo!!
Absolute Legend! Sorry for the late message!
