Him pointing is such a great moment. It says so much without any words being spoken. “This point is our point. You made this possible. We got this point because of you.”
The title of the manga chapter where Noya has that moment with Kinoshita is titled "The Guardian's Hero", implying that although Kinoshita thought he didnt have a "hero" moment on the court, Noya considered him the Hero of that play (from helping him practice and such). It was a really nice touch cuz you see the chapter title in the manga at the end of the chapter when He does the fist clench thing and they did a great job in the anime as well :) Edit: Also, Kageyama was moved by Atsumu's Set at the end because it shows that Atsumu really cares about his hitters. Where other setters would set a ball that fell low like that with an underhand (because it's easier) Atsumu still set it with an overhand, giving it his all. Shows that even though Atsumu can be mean and demanding towards his teammates, that he always tries his best to set the ball up for his spikers in the best possible way.
All they had to do is have Nishinoya have a monologue saying you were my guardian hero to Kinoshita. Would hit All Might/Deku first encounter type of feels man.
The most annoying middle blockers are the ones that have no ego on the court. Yes, blockers like Tendou and Kageyama (kill blockers) are scary, but they are predictable, for an outside hitter like myself. They will always look to stuff you, which makes it easy to change course or feint, and because they are looking for the kill block, their block is always covering a different area of the court which makes it extra difficult for the defenders to adjust. Middle blockers like Kuro and Tsuki, I find, are much more annoying and they take a toll on your mental strength. For me as a hitter, it starts to feel like the blockers and defenders are slowly closing in on you, like a chaser in a horror movie.
@Los Blancos Exactly, playing with kill blockers as a defender/receiver is also incredibly frustrating, because of how much I have to adjust to each block placement, since they are usually not going to be blocking the same area. Just like how Lev shifts his block, but Yaku has to move further up to cover for the hole.
@Los Blancos Exactly. Every middle blocker that is national or pro level is a system blocker like Kuro and Tsuki, the only kill blockers you see are weirdly setters like Christenson and Giannelli, and the pin hitters (both outsides and oppos), since the pins are usually 1v1 or 1v 1.5 (if the middle is slow), so them going for kill blocks at that level is fine, since the opposing hitters are spiking at 100+kmph so the defense will have trouble receiving it even if it goes right at them. In high school, the top players like Ushiwaka are usually miles ahead of their peers, that being taller, more athletic, or just genetically stronger, but that all changes once everyone is the same height or taller, and is just as athletic or more so. SPOILERS FROM THE MANGA: That is main reason Ushiwaka has so much trouble on the national team while Kageyama and Hoshiumi flourished on the national team in the manga. Both Kageyama and Hoshiumi are high IQ and finesse players, which often do well at the national level. But power players like Ushiwaka usually can't get past the fact that everyone is just as strong and talented at that level, so Ushiwaka had to refine with spiking technique (it's the same style as the monster US oppo Clayton Stanley) in order to get more power out of his smaller Asian frame.
@@xstriiker1418 I agree with that, since I've played middle blocker before, and stuffing the opposing middle with a commit block feels amazing when you get the prediction right. However, I only ever go for a stuff/kill block when I got a proper read on the opposing hitters and setter, like their preferred hitting courses, the different flaws in their form that give away their spike course, who the setter goes to in a pinch, etc. I don't like going to kill blocks since I usually play doubles on beach or grass, so having a consistent blocking style helps my partner adjust to the hitters, just like what Tsuki is doing. Also I like to tell my partner what I'm going to do, like if I'm going to fake a line block and jump into their angle, so my partner knows to fake that he's defending the hard angle (cross spike), and jump into the line shot.
I’ve always loved the way Haikyu handles it’s “side characters”. Even though people like Ennoshita, Kinoshita, and Narita aren’t starters they always get a moment or are maybe talking in the background. This was a great way to illustrate that you’re still apart of the team even if you’re not a starter. Great reaction my guy. This episode went straight for the feels
Actualy, it's not the first time that Suna take his phone to capturing Miya's fight. On episode 20 when Kita and Aran walk and talk together, Atsumu and Osamu are fighting at the background and Suna take his phone out :D
The thing with the Kinoshita and Nishinoya moment is that, Kinoshita has been waiting for a epic moment like what the other players have experienced, even in the bench players have their moment (Ennoshita in Wakunan Match and Narita on Shiratorizawa when Tsukki was subbed out, Yams in Seijoh match) and it makes him sad that he didn't have one, he thought he's just normal.. When Nishinoya pointed at him and clenched his fist after he received Tsumu's floater with a underhand, it was like saying "You may not have a epic moment, but it was because of you why I was able to have mine and able to receive that underhand serve I have been practicing with you since then, so don't say you didn't have your moment because this is our moment. This is nothing without you" This scene was well animated, wish they have shown bits of Nishinoya and Kinoshita practicing more before Noya pointed his hands at him but this is still great nonetheless. Nice reaction as always!!
Hmm, IMO reason why Kageyama impressed by Atsumu's set is that Kageyama would always tell his teammates to send him a high ball so that he can set perfectly(?). He mentioned about it in Asahi-Noya conversation last time and iirc back in the Dateko practice match as well. But after witness how low the ball is dropping, Atsumu properly, successfully set it to his teammate, is just pure amazing. To Atsumu, probably there's no excuse for him to not to set the ball properly because he knows that he IS the setter so he should figure something out and he did. Kageyama might pull that off too long ago if he put his mind on this matter. Thus, Kageyama's last line. I might be wrong but is what I thought.
You know when Hinata said " I'm glad I've come here" when he saw Hoshiumi (white haired little giant guy) play? This is that same moment for Kageyama. Atsumu is the new Oikawa, narratively wise.
This, Hoshiumi is a more refined version of Hinata in a way. He's essentially what Hinata wants to be, and Atsumu is essentially the same for Kageyama.
@@BlinksTehShit it’s not more refined it’s another level. Comparing their skills now would be insulting to hoshiumi. However Hinata has a few advantages.
I would say Hoshiumi is what Hinata wants to be, but they can't be compared not only because he has more experience and better skills but because they have very different play styles.
Kageyama said he's happy he came because that's what Hinata said after he saw Hoshiumi. Kageyama just had that same kind of moment but with Atsumu, which is also him acknowledging that Atsumu is better than him.
Watching this episode after having lost my own twin a few years back took me on a bigger feels trip than I could've ever anticipated. Props to Furudate for such a beautifully accurate representation of an otherwise overused trope.
At the last part, when Kageyama said, "Me too, I'm glad I came here too." refers too Atsumu. Atsumu's set was so perfect that the Japan National Coach, Coack Ukai, and Inarizaki's Coach and Kageyama earned respect towards him as a setter. It made Kageyama glad that he was able to witness it by being in the Nationals and playing with the greatest challengers.
Back in episode 12 of season 4, Hinata said he was glad he made it to nationals after watching Hoshiumi (The White Haired little giant). Kageyama after sawing how good of a setter Atsumu is made him happy as well 😁
This was one of my favorite episodes of the series. Noya pointing at Kinoshita letting him know that if it wasn't for him that he wouldn't have been able to receive Atsumu's jump floater WITH NO WORDS!!! I am not going to lie, I got really emotional there. The miya twins backstory was perfect! One of the things that caught me by surprise was when everyone cheered for osamu and didn't appreciate atsumu's low to the floor serve, but ukai saw it as a thing of beauty and stood up to clap. On top of that atsumu didn't care about how the set was perceived he only wanted to give the best possible set he can to his team and was so happy that he was able to do that. God I just love the fucking passion from atsumu AHHHHHHH!!!!!!
Every single match had this moment where we learn the oppentens motivations and reason why they WANT to win. That's what sets haikyuu apart from other animes. The oppenent is not an enemy, they are an equal who wants to achieve the same thing as Karasuno. Most anime villains need to win for whatever reason but an when they want to win for they own reason reasons is when an oppenent becomes amazing. No other show does this in such a brilliant way as haikyuu
It's refreshing to see someone be so honest with their feelings in the heat of the moment. I always make sure I come watch your video right after I watch the episode. Love seeing how attached you are to all the characters, because I definitely am too.
when he says he get to better support the ball, it is actually not translated quite well. he actually says that he gets to touch the ball with more parts of his body, foreshadowing his love for volley.
In season 1 of to the top after watching Kamodai’s Hoshiumi the current little giant, playing like an ideal ace, Hinata said he was happy to come to nationals and see his aspirations in front of him. Kageyama and atsumu are no different. Atsumu is certainly an ideal setter who will go above and beyond to set the ball perfectly
Yeah Hinata said “I’m glad I came here” after he saw how good Hoshiumi plays, so Kageyama said that too when he saw how Atsumu plays. Not sure if you noticed but that last toss from Atsumu to Osamu was from a really low point and Atsumu had to squat really low because he’d rather use an overhand toss with 10 fingers rather than a bump like what Kenma would do. In addition to that, he didn’t let the Karasuno blockers read where the toss was gonna go AHH I LOVE THIS SHOW
Got a little emotional during Kinoshita's scene. I get him. It was amazing to see Nishinoya point to him to give him the acknowledgment/recognition. In a way, they helped each other. Nishinoya gets his flow back and his vibe(supporting teammates/giving them confidence or assurance like he did with Kinoshita) The title being "Guardian's Hero" can refer to his grandpa, but most importantly in that moment, Kinoshita. It shows the importance of all team members, even ones who don't seem to play a big part. Kinoshita may have not been a hero of his own story, but he was one for Nishinoya. Also it is pretty significant that Kageyama says "nice receive" as he is the one who, as a setter, gets receives from Nishinoya. With his blunt comment of "your in the way!" from when he blocked Asahi's path, to his "get the ball a little higher" from the previous episode. Kags ans Noya are both seen as top tiers (Setters and Liberos). Kageyama is a genius tho, so what he says (in volleyball) is taken srsly. Having him say that to Noya was a good choice. Kags is also seen showing reactions to important moments such as Tanaka's comeback. (before he starts running for that insane cross spike), Kageyama does his little smirk before he tosses to him (cuz in the same episode he yelled at Nishinoya, he also called out Tanaka's failed cross shots) It shows that Kageyama is really trusting his teammates now, can actually read his spikers emotions, and is giving Tanaka a chance despite his many failed spikes. (Iin the manga, I think Kags also tells Tanaka something like he knew he would score or something along those lines. I think it happened that time or maybe later on?? Or they just didn't animate that part :(. ) Also I think Kageyama makes that face after his serve, cuz even though he scored, it hit the net first and wasn't like his other 3 power serves. Kags is just like that. Lol. Kind of like when Nishinoya was irritated abt Atsumu serving out, because he didn't have to receive it. So it wasn't rlly a point for him. Another comparison between genuises (As waaaayyyy back Tsukki says something like "you 2 are from the same species" refering to Kags and Noya) I was gonna say that Kags quote relates back to what Hinata said but the 1st two comments i saw already mention it. Sorry this is a lot. I love Kageyama. Also Haikyuu just gives a lot of feels. (Sorry if this was already said)
There it is!!! ONE OF MY FAVOURITE MOMENTS!! Atsumu's blessing isn't any of his talents, it's Osamu! To truly get better in a sport, you have to constantly aim to improve yourself, but that's damn near hard to do if there's no motivation or no one supporting you. So a rival is the best thing you could hope for. Having his twin constantly one up him and him constantly one upping his twin, the twins were able to accelerate their growth as volleyball players to reach great heights. Atsumu and Osamu, individually they are each strong but as a unit, they are unstoppable!
The line Kageyama said was because like Hinata when he saw Hoshiumi, they realize there are people better than them. It’s a humbling moment where they are excited to go up against the best and not only get better but beat the best.
Hinata said "im glad that i came here" before they first game on tournament,when he saw Korai jump and kill. Now Kageyama said the excatly same when he saw perfect Tsumu pass from every position.
Kinoshita part was such a moment. I mean he wanted so bad to have that on court moment that everyone else was having but his moment came from off court by helping Noya. Yo I felt that emotionally gosh that was such an underrated moment.❤❤❤ It hits harder when you've experienced it yourself.
5:36 "yea but they are second years" bruuuh my boy kinoshita also a second yeaaar And yeah, hinata also said he was happy he came to nationals after seeing Korai (the white haired little gigant)
I love how they taking the anime and making it more realistic and showing other perspectives to show there is no true enemies in this show but everyone is their own mc competing but I WANNA SEE MY MANS DEFENSE AND I WANNA SEE HIM POP OFF
If you don't get the reference AyoLaxone or anyone, Hinata is glad to meet someone like him who is an amazing spiker/ace. (Korai Hoshiumi) Kageyama is glad to meet someone like him who is an amazing setter.(Miya Atsumu) They are both glad to fight in the same battlefield with these amazing players.
12:05 It's the exact same words Hinata said after he saw Hoshiumi in S4E12. "Koko ni korete yokatta" (ここに来れてよかった) So, Hinata sees Hoshiumi and thinks, 'whatever I thought my limit used to be, it just got a lot higher.' Kageyama just saw how he could build up new skills and become a more complete player, too.
I just LOVED that moment between Nishinoya and Kinoshita. I felt Kinoshita’s pain wanting to have a special moment on the court but you can also be crucial to your teammates off the court as well because that’s what team sports are all about!! 🔥🔥
Hey =) don`t know if someone else wrote it already but the second pinch server is a second year, he was away for some time because the old coach ukai scared him away. There are 5 second years but only Tanaka, Enoshita and Nishinoya were training/playing most of the time. Kinoshita and Narita returned recently. =)
12:22 remember that Hinata moment when he saw Hoshiumi popping off? Yeah that was pretty much Kageyama's parallel response to Hinata's "I'm glad I came here" quote.
What Atsumu did in the end was nothing flashy or anything. But the form was so technical and beautiful that even Coach Ukai came out of his way to applaud Atsumu. Even Kageyama was dumbstruck seeing all that.
The reason of Kageyama's words at the last part is that he feels similar to Hinata's feelings when he saw Hoshiumi and inspired by him, Kageyama also amazed by Atsumu's skills.
Don't worry man, that moment also hit me. It is just a simple moment, the fact the Kinoshita hasn't had his "glory moment" yet, but he encourages Nishinoya to overcome his fear and in the end, they both celebrate the point is when you realize that even though you can be having a bad time, encouraging a friend and celebrating his achieve, becomes your achieve too.
I really love your commentary. You know about sports and you know about anime. Haikyuu is a rarity, because it shows real sport (not the usual superpowers/super moves etc). The author was a player and a coach, so everything you say is on point, the author really intended to make us think about sportmanship, concentration and tactics
yes it's _time_ 4:12 I love your realizations 4:55 when Yamaguch said that and you could hear the tone in the back I was like "Is that tinnitus? That's tinnitus. He can't hear his team or the other team with that tinnitus kickin' in 😂" 5:52 I was so confused when Suga was talking cause I'm pretty sure that was either 2 sentences, or 2 subtitle-lines worth of sentences there and they just ... 6:17 and dogs! 6:20 He still hates moths and onions 7:20 sorry that exhale was just great 8:07 💙 8:20 (Atsumu doesn't say "You'd be Tsumu", just "Then, Atsumu is Tsumu!") 8:45 Helping them get it over. Making it _easy_ 9:50 the difference is in the eye color 10:30 I didn't look it up when I read or watched this, but I just looked it up; so Winning Eleven (the name for Pro Evolution Soccer in Japan) is a soccer franchise 11:46 I love him sm (the line delivery and ig the shot itself is just so cute and makes me smile)
Back in part 1 yeah Hinata said he was glad he came here after seeing Hoshiumi (mini seagull boy) and I guess implying he was getting super inspired finding something to work towards etc. I remember you got really excited at that and Kageyama's reaction of smiling 😂 it was a while ago so fair dos but yeah i think it was a call-back to that. Kageyama is seeing Atsumu and being like..damn...yeah I'm glad i get to experience this. Great vid dude!
I remember once a loooong time ago I was playing football(soccer) with my friends and I passed a vital assist that directly contributed to goal getting scored, everyone immediately turned around at me and celebrated that one assist - even the friend that actually scored the goal. I'm not trying to brag or nothing...but my point is that it was exactly like when Noya pointed at Kinoshita after they scored that point.
12:00 that came from Hinata saying the same thing after watching Hoshiumi for the first time. Basically Kageyama saying that he feels the same way by watching Atsumu.
Oh haha Kinoshita is 2nd year And Kageyama saying he was glad he was at the nationals after seeing Atsumu's amazing low set (Coach Ukai mentions how crazy that set was, so did Kenma) replying to Hinata when he said he was glad he was at the nationals after seeing Houisumi play in season 4 part 1 And yes! That was Kinoshita's moment shared with Noya, in the manga before Kinoshita clenches his fist it flashes back to Yamaguchi, Enoshita, Kazuhito and Tanaka's moments to emphasize it even more Oh also note, in the manga the title of that chapter is 'The Guardian's Hero' (chapter 278), that's where volume 31 ended as well and that was called 'Hero'
Hinata was happy that they came to nationals after seeing the white haired shorty make his plays so Kageyama after seeing blonde twin do that incredible set at such a low point got him to tell Hinata that he was also happy that they made it to nationals.
on the last or second to last episode of season 4 part 1 when Hinata saw Hoshiumi (the other short player Referred to as the little giant that went to the youth camp), Hinata said he was glad he got to go there and watch these amazing players, Kageyama is just saying he's glad he came here too after seeing how great Atsumu is
i would be happy if kinoshita becomes professional volleyball coach, because of what he did in this episode. he can clearly see the situation, the flow, and helped noya right at the time.
Hinata when he was watching the amazing jump already and he came back and he said “I I’m glad that i came here” so kageyama say “I glad that I came here too”
Kageyama saw atsumu set the ball lower which is very hard to do unless you're really good players & he gladly saw that cause they make it to national level.) which is the same way Hinata told kageyama when he saw Korai / short dude a.k.a the new little giants.
Kageyama observed Atsumu's set, he referred to Hinata saying "I'm glad I came here" after hearing Hoshiumi's interview.
Rather after seeing Hoshiumi's skill, so Kageyama reacted here in the same way after seeing Atsumu's skill
That's right
was about to type this myself lol
Luckily I am not the only one who urges to explain this to him HAHA
Was it just me or did anyone else Felt like a happy chill with goosebumps when he said that
Kinoshita is a second year. But I loved how the show was basically saying that the bench warmers also help the team!
Him pointing is such a great moment. It says so much without any words being spoken. “This point is our point. You made this possible. We got this point because of you.”
I LOVE THIS DUDE
GET THIS MAN TO 100,000 SUBS

@GuiltyKing27 you're most welcome 😊
Anyone else cried when Kinoshita "Didn't have his hero moment" ..... That hurt me badly
He did though, it was the moment when he told Noya to move up and saved that point.
I cried so hard cause I could relate
@@archercartridge4888 He also trained Noya’s upper hand receive during their training. That receive was also Kinshita’s.
Welll... almost...
I cried more from the manga lmfao

Well comparing Miya Atsumu to Oikawa ! Miya IS better than him !!
You can really feel Kinoshita's frustration in this episode. Noya, acknowledging him, was so cathartic.
The episode is titled "Hero."
Who would have guessed it was talking about Kinoshita?
"gramps tryin' to kill this man!" funniest shit
The core strength Atsumu has with that last set was 👌
Kageyama said he's happy he came because that's what Hinata said after he saw Hoshiumi. Kageyama just had that same kind of moment but with Atsumu, which is also him acknowledging that Atsumu is better than him.

Kinoshita’s moment is that he is not a hero like noya but being the one who help somebody to become a hero is also a hero
This season is making me more and more curious to watch the next episode
How the episode went;
Is this a Tsukki episode? -> a Kinoshita episode? -> Nishinoya? -> Miya twins?
Nah, we got a top tier Haikyuu episode.
This season really got this man out here crying every episode lmao
Every single match had this moment where we learn the oppentens motivations and reason why they WANT to win. That's what sets haikyuu apart from other animes. The oppenent is not an enemy, they are an equal who wants to achieve the same thing as Karasuno. Most anime villains need to win for whatever reason but an when they want to win for they own reason reasons is when an oppenent becomes amazing. No other show does this in such a brilliant way as haikyuu
Next episode, someone boutta go crazy 👀👀👀
Edit : Kinoshita is a second year my guy
facts
Lax don't know what's coming bro! Piton!
AAAAAAAA IM EXCITEDDDD >:]
do you think the whole u know what part will have that super good animation or nah
@@sheluvsalexs I don't know bruh, at this rate imma just pray to god just don't fuck this one up.
It's refreshing to see someone be so honest with their feelings in the heat of the moment. I always make sure I come watch your video right after I watch the episode. Love seeing how attached you are to all the characters, because I definitely am too.
Absolutely love that Run With The Wind reference. One of the most underrated sports anime of all time.
when he says he get to better support the ball, it is actually not translated quite well. he actually says that he gets to touch the ball with more parts of his body, foreshadowing his love for volley.
That moment got me in the feels aswell man, I didn’t even realise it happening, I just felt tears rolling down my face. This anime man.
Swear every episodes tht get me teary eyed i come here to see u have the exact same reaction at the exact time
after "Piton" my way of life changes
In season 1 of to the top after watching Kamodai’s Hoshiumi the current little giant, playing like an ideal ace, Hinata said he was happy to come to nationals and see his aspirations in front of him.
Kageyama and atsumu are no different. Atsumu is certainly an ideal setter who will go above and beyond to set the ball perfectly
Yeah Hinata said “I’m glad I came here” after he saw how good Hoshiumi plays, so Kageyama said that too when he saw how Atsumu plays. Not sure if you noticed but that last toss from Atsumu to Osamu was from a really low point and Atsumu had to squat really low because he’d rather use an overhand toss with 10 fingers rather than a bump like what Kenma would do. In addition to that, he didn’t let the Karasuno blockers read where the toss was gonna go AHH I LOVE THIS SHOW
Got a little emotional during Kinoshita's scene. I get him. It was amazing to see Nishinoya point to him to give him the acknowledgment/recognition. In a way, they helped each other. Nishinoya gets his flow back and his vibe(supporting teammates/giving them confidence or assurance like he did with Kinoshita) The title being "Guardian's Hero" can refer to his grandpa, but most importantly in that moment, Kinoshita. It shows the importance of all team members, even ones who don't seem to play a big part. Kinoshita may have not been a hero of his own story, but he was one for Nishinoya.
Also it is pretty significant that Kageyama says "nice receive" as he is the one who, as a setter, gets receives from Nishinoya. With his blunt comment of "your in the way!" from when he blocked Asahi's path, to his "get the ball a little higher" from the previous episode. Kags ans Noya are both seen as top tiers (Setters and Liberos). Kageyama is a genius tho, so what he says (in volleyball) is taken srsly. Having him say that to Noya was a good choice. Kags is also seen showing reactions to important moments such as Tanaka's comeback. (before he starts running for that insane cross spike), Kageyama does his little smirk before he tosses to him (cuz in the same episode he yelled at Nishinoya, he also called out Tanaka's failed cross shots) It shows that Kageyama is really trusting his teammates now, can actually read his spikers emotions, and is giving Tanaka a chance despite his many failed spikes. (Iin the manga, I think Kags also tells Tanaka something like he knew he would score or something along those lines. I think it happened that time or maybe later on?? Or they just didn't animate that part :(. )
Also I think Kageyama makes that face after his serve, cuz even though he scored, it hit the net first and wasn't like his other 3 power serves. Kags is just like that. Lol. Kind of like when Nishinoya was irritated abt Atsumu serving out, because he didn't have to receive it. So it wasn't rlly a point for him. Another comparison between genuises (As waaaayyyy back Tsukki says something like "you 2 are from the same species" refering to Kags and Noya)
I was gonna say that Kags quote relates back to what Hinata said but the 1st two comments i saw already mention it.
Sorry this is a lot. I love Kageyama. Also Haikyuu just gives a lot of feels.
(Sorry if this was already said)
Suna was getting those Angles 🤣
You can tell the dynamic at inarizaki. Miya Twins fight, Suna records, Aran watches in fear, Gin spurs them on. And Kita scares them to stop
There it is!!! ONE OF MY FAVOURITE MOMENTS!! Atsumu's blessing isn't any of his talents, it's Osamu!
To truly get better in a sport, you have to constantly aim to improve yourself, but that's damn near hard to do if there's no motivation or no one supporting you. So a rival is the best thing you could hope for. Having his twin constantly one up him and him constantly one upping his twin, the twins were able to accelerate their growth as volleyball players to reach great heights.
Atsumu and Osamu, individually they are each strong but as a unit, they are unstoppable!
I have been waiting for Noya's scene to be animated for so long haha. By far my top 3 scenes in the whole story. Great reactions once again!!!
Suna really pulled out the “WORLDSTAR!!!!”
That Nishinoya moment with Kinoshita was enough to make me tear up
And I'm proud!😂
But maahn..that Atsumu set...dammit!
I wheezed when Suna took out his phone 😂😂
I LOVE WATER
Noya's Gramps was the ultimate Chad. God damnnn
Been waiting for this notification.
Me too lmaoo
7:38 is what I'm here for - always have to wait until I've seen the episode before getting in here knowing the bits I'm hanging out for.
That nishinoya-kinoshita moment was crazy, a bit disappointed because in the manga it felt more epic but still good tho
Which issue is it in the manga?
@@benl.4577 it's in chapter 287
@@Renvier thank you
@@Renvier okay I was kinda spoiled, but it's actually 278, thank you regardless though!
@@benl.4577 oh shit, im so sorry dude
I cant express how much I love Haikyuu
The line Kageyama said was because like Hinata when he saw Hoshiumi, they realize there are people better than them. It’s a humbling moment where they are excited to go up against the best and not only get better but beat the best.
Hinata said "im glad that i came here" before they first game on tournament,when he saw Korai jump and kill.
Now Kageyama said the excatly same when he saw perfect Tsumu pass from every position.
Kinoshita part was such a moment. I mean he wanted so bad to have that on court moment that everyone else was having but his moment came from off court by helping Noya.
Yo I felt that emotionally gosh that was such an underrated moment.❤❤❤
It hits harder when you've experienced it yourself.
1:55 god run with the wind was awesome, loved your reactions
5:36 "yea but they are second years" bruuuh my boy kinoshita also a second yeaaar
And yeah, hinata also said he was happy he came to nationals after seeing Korai (the white haired little gigant)
One of my favorite episodes of the series. Honestly the next couple episodes are some of the best.
I love how they taking the anime and making it more realistic and showing other perspectives to show there is no true enemies in this show but everyone is their own mc competing but I WANNA SEE MY MANS DEFENSE AND I WANNA SEE HIM POP OFF
This show just knows how to hook you in real fast
after Hinata saw hosiumi he said "im so happy i made it here" now kageyama said "im glad i came here ' you know things about to get real
If you don't get the reference AyoLaxone or anyone,
Hinata is glad to meet someone like him who is an amazing spiker/ace. (Korai Hoshiumi)
Kageyama is glad to meet someone like him who is an amazing setter.(Miya Atsumu)
They are both glad to fight in the same battlefield with these amazing players.
12:05 It's the exact same words Hinata said after he saw Hoshiumi in S4E12. "Koko ni korete yokatta" (ここに来れてよかった)
So, Hinata sees Hoshiumi and thinks, 'whatever I thought my limit used to be, it just got a lot higher.' Kageyama just saw how he could build up new skills and become a more complete player, too.
Moment for our Sunshine being the brightest is coming closer and closer.
I just LOVED that moment between Nishinoya and Kinoshita. I felt Kinoshita’s pain wanting to have a special moment on the court but you can also be crucial to your teammates off the court as well because that’s what team sports are all about!! 🔥🔥
Hey =) don`t know if someone else wrote it already but the second pinch server is a second year, he was away for some time because the old coach ukai scared him away. There are 5 second years but only Tanaka, Enoshita and Nishinoya were training/playing most of the time. Kinoshita and Narita returned recently. =)
12:22 remember that Hinata moment when he saw Hoshiumi popping off? Yeah that was pretty much Kageyama's parallel response to Hinata's "I'm glad I came here" quote.
Kageyama says he’s glad that he went there too because when they arrived at the stadium Hinata said “I’m glad I came here”
What Atsumu did in the end was nothing flashy or anything. But the form was so technical and beautiful that even Coach Ukai came out of his way to applaud Atsumu. Even Kageyama was dumbstruck seeing all that.
YASSSS!! baby noya and baby miyas are fially being shown! I've been waiting for this moments!!
I never clicked anything so fast
The reason of Kageyama's words at the last part is that he feels similar to Hinata's feelings when he saw Hoshiumi and inspired by him, Kageyama also amazed by Atsumu's skills.
Don't worry man, that moment also hit me. It is just a simple moment, the fact the Kinoshita hasn't had his "glory moment" yet, but he encourages Nishinoya to overcome his fear and in the end, they both celebrate the point is when you realize that even though you can be having a bad time, encouraging a friend and celebrating his achieve, becomes your achieve too.
Honestly it was such beautiful episode. I watched it yesterday morning and couldn't wait to see your reaction to it
I really love your commentary. You know about sports and you know about anime. Haikyuu is a rarity, because it shows real sport (not the usual superpowers/super moves etc). The author was a player and a coach, so everything you say is on point, the author really intended to make us think about sportmanship, concentration and tactics
in the manga, the chapter nishinoya's moment happens is called "the guardian's hero", which i think adds to that and his moment with kinoshita.
yes it's _time_
4:12 I love your realizations
4:55 when Yamaguch said that and you could hear the tone in the back I was like "Is that tinnitus? That's tinnitus. He can't hear his team or the other team with that tinnitus kickin' in 😂"
5:52 I was so confused when Suga was talking cause I'm pretty sure that was either 2 sentences, or 2 subtitle-lines worth of sentences there and they just ...
6:17 and dogs!
6:20 He still hates moths and onions
7:20 sorry that exhale was just great
8:07 💙
8:20 (Atsumu doesn't say "You'd be Tsumu", just "Then, Atsumu is Tsumu!")
8:45 Helping them get it over. Making it _easy_
9:50 the difference is in the eye color
10:30 I didn't look it up when I read or watched this, but I just looked it up; so Winning Eleven (the name for Pro Evolution Soccer in Japan) is a soccer franchise
11:46 I love him sm (the line delivery and ig the shot itself is just so cute and makes me smile)
this channel has become the most awaited haikyuu reaction in youtube. like if you mentioned haikyuu reaction, you will get ayolaxzone somewhere.
Furudate-sensei hit as with too much emotion in just one episode! 😭😭👏✨
For the next episode will be KING Kageyama's time. I'm a fan of your job and your reactions are GREAT. Im from Brazil.
Back in part 1 yeah Hinata said he was glad he came here after seeing Hoshiumi (mini seagull boy) and I guess implying he was getting super inspired finding something to work towards etc. I remember you got really excited at that and Kageyama's reaction of smiling 😂 it was a while ago so fair dos but yeah i think it was a call-back to that. Kageyama is seeing Atsumu and being like..damn...yeah I'm glad i get to experience this. Great vid dude!
I remember once a loooong time ago I was playing football(soccer) with my friends and I passed a vital assist that directly contributed to goal getting scored, everyone immediately turned around at me and celebrated that one assist - even the friend that actually scored the goal. I'm not trying to brag or nothing...but my point is that it was exactly like when Noya pointed at Kinoshita after they scored that point.
i was waiting for the reaction before i even watched the episode lmao
12:00 that came from Hinata saying the same thing after watching Hoshiumi for the first time. Basically Kageyama saying that he feels the same way by watching Atsumu.
Kageyama is appreciating the level of competition hes up against is see atsumu as a setter that he himself can strive to be
I knew that the chest hitting would kick in at that moment 😆
Giba, mentioned by one of the twins, is the greatest brazilian volleyball player of all time. 🇧🇷
10:21 Suna really said Worldstar
Oh haha Kinoshita is 2nd year
And Kageyama saying he was glad he was at the nationals after seeing Atsumu's amazing low set (Coach Ukai mentions how crazy that set was, so did Kenma) replying to Hinata when he said he was glad he was at the nationals after seeing Houisumi play in season 4 part 1
And yes! That was Kinoshita's moment shared with Noya, in the manga before Kinoshita clenches his fist it flashes back to Yamaguchi, Enoshita, Kazuhito and Tanaka's moments to emphasize it even more
Oh also note, in the manga the title of that chapter is 'The Guardian's Hero' (chapter 278), that's where volume 31 ended as well and that was called 'Hero'
What Kags said there at the end was in reference to Hinata's reaction to seeing Hoshiumi for the first time.
10:35 yooo i just noticed the *Pro Evolution Soccer* reference
That's really cool
I love haikyuu!! More now
Hinata was happy that they came to nationals after seeing the white haired shorty make his plays so Kageyama after seeing blonde twin do that incredible set at such a low point got him to tell Hinata that he was also happy that they made it to nationals.
on the last or second to last episode of season 4 part 1 when Hinata saw Hoshiumi (the other short player
Referred to as the little giant that went to the youth camp), Hinata said he was glad he got to go there and watch these amazing players, Kageyama is just saying he's glad he came here too after seeing how great Atsumu is
I'm hooked up to your channel. Binge watching it.. everything related to haikyuu
Bro that scene made me tear up too
Good to know that we all make that growling sound we trying not to cry.
Kinoshita I can relate too that where u tried ur best but can’t be a hero but can always help others like noya and to something
the best block is one that forces the spiker to sing to your tune
i would be happy if kinoshita becomes professional volleyball coach, because of what he did in this episode. he can clearly see the situation, the flow, and helped noya right at the time.
Hinata when he was watching the amazing jump already and he came back and he said “I I’m glad that i came here” so kageyama say “I glad that I came here too”
Kageyama saw atsumu set the ball lower which is very hard to do unless you're really good players & he gladly saw that cause they make it to national level.)
which is the same way Hinata told kageyama when he saw Korai / short dude a.k.a the new little giants.
SPOILERRR
Omg what he said in the beginning about how Kita’s grandma was his influence was true from the new released guidebook 😭😭
The show shows us the influence grandma had on him, it's no spoiler
@@hastethethird5956 well yeah true but I assumed cause of the guidebook LOL
