- Get your snacks and your beverage of choice. It's about to go down. The long-anticipated Sarah vs Adam Haikyu!! Season 1 Draft is here!
Phase 1: Player Draft taking into account only skill. Create the most powerhouse Season 1 team possible.
Phase 2: Player Draft taking into account skill and team dynamic. Create the strongest, most cohesive Season 1 team possible.
Phase 3: Adam's top moments and All-Star Team from Season 1.
The winner will come down to a vote from the viewers. We can't wait to do this with all of you!
The fact that Adam's favourite character is "Sara's highschool teenage boy version" is so funny and cute.
Is Sarah’s highschool teenage boy version Kageyama??
@@L_S_S It's Aone. Yeah Kageyama's personality resembales hers. But I mean it in the physical appereance and skillset kind of way. Sorry for the confusion.
@@aesubar7835 Ahh that makes sense
Omg the confusion on Adam's face when Sarah picked Tsukki was priceless. Also Sarah completely ignoring Adam's question on how important ball control is to volleyball also priceless
"Adam was studying the manga..."
OK, nice! So wherever the anime goes, and what seasons are out, at least we can be sure that at some point Adam will finish the whole story by reading the manga until the end. He already knows where to look. That makes me happy. :D
considering what the news is about the season 5/movies, i might finish the show by manga then watch those movies that are coming out, im assuming lots of content will be cut
but im gonna hold out hope till the movies do release, i finished the 4th season of haikyuu like 3 years ago and im not gonna give up on seeing the manga end in animation just yet
I will not tolerate any Futakuchi disrespect. The Iron Wall is not just Aone. Futakuchi was an absolute beast, he's very smart, great blocker, very aggressive, and extremely confident as a finisher. Adam built a super scary team! Sarah's team is very talented, but there are weaknesses to exploit and you can build a game plan around that, maybe it won't work, but I would feel a little more confident going up against them. Going against Adam's team I would be more nervous than Hinata on his first match.
Yeaaah
i like Futakuchi the most among Date Tech players..& tbh we didnt see much from him in Season 1 cuz the highlight mostly on Aone.
We can see more from him in Season 2 & 4 especially Season 4 actually on how amazing player he is
Can't love you guys anymore than I do now! I was thinking about a 6-2 when Sarah did it. Also sorry Sarah, but your man won. Shout out from Brazil
My favorite in Date Tech is also Futakuchi! 😊
In s1 he doesn't have much screentime, but we'll figure out he's a very well-rounded player. Not only is he good at blocking (the second best blocker in Date-Tech), but his serving, finishing and even receiving are actually nice, too. Can't wait till s2 when we see more of him~
Yes, but this is season one. He is nota in Focus already
Being so moved that Adam remembered Watari was a setter and picked him😢
Adams first team:
Breaking through aone and daichi, also using inouka's adaptibilty, kenma strategizing behind the scenes, and two aces from renowned teams powering them up. Also watari for emergency setting and recieving. IT'S PERFECT!
oikawa vs iwaizumi and kuroo vs kenma in the first draft brooooo
this was really fun to be apart of and I'd like to give my analysis on both teams. This will be with only s1 in mind for adams sake.
1st matchup: At first glance I thought sarahs team was overwhelmingly better in terms of overall players and I didn't think adam could win without a top 2 setter. HOWEVER, adams team is quite literally a combination of the two most obnoxious playstyles. Nekoma and Data Tech. even if sarahs hitters got through the wall, which they wont tbh. adam has two of the best receivers in daichi and iwai alone. Adam wins based on counter. But was really impressed with sarahs flex strategy.
2nd matchup, sorry sarah but this one was pretty obvious. adams team was just must better.
2-0
ON TO SZN 2.
This was so fun - the reaction videos make my day each week, and the dedication to studying and the thought behind all the picks here was just great to see! Can feel the love for Haikyu and the investment in the story and characters come through.
About Sarah saying Oikawa and Kuroo both have big egos and thus would clash, I would point out that both have been shown to be very team-oriented and accommodating towards their teammates. So even if they did end up not liking each other personally, I don't think it would be a problem on the court.
I personally think Adams “personality” team is better because he has all these strong and yet quiet guys defending the team at the back and all the provocative dudes that can trash talk and play mindgames with their opponents at the front, all the while all of them getting along together. I disagree with Sarah, instead of Kuroo and Oikawa disagreeing, they would just come together to maximize their joint slay.
Yes, also for both oikawa and kurro first priority is winning
Adam is Oikawa and Asahi and Noya officially in the Bro House. I loved the livestream it made my day and I can't wait for season 2 my absolute favourite episode is in this season.
Tsukishima + Kageyama in a team considering synergy is questionable lol
Adam’s team is so great. Blocking and receiving are super high and his setter fits in that system so well
Matsukawa from aobai is easily overlooked, because of the Oikawa effect stealing the show. Matsukawa single handedly runs Aobais block and is right there with Oikawa on picking up info on the court. On top of that hes a 3rd year at Aobai johsai which we are given the context early on as being a powerhouse school that scouts for their team.
The other spot where a couple of players are underrated is the outsides Kumimi and Tora. Obviously we dont see an enormous amount from them, but with the current given context, again Kumimi being a first year and a starter for Aobai johsai and clearly a very analytical player.
Tora is a strong receiver, like all of Nekoma outside Kenma and on top of that is their go to outside hitter (ace) while Inouka is the one who the libero replaces, showing his inexperience and lower level of receiving. Liberos are a tossup. Hard to read into Yaku but with the context given of Nekomas receiving skills overall, as well as Nishinoya's praise post game hes probably the best technical receiver. Noya is right on his heels though. (This is all purely season 1 context and each player is shown to be unique in attitudes and strengths so I cant say theyre incorrect picks. Many of us have seen the entire series several times, and many forget when exactly character growth happens)
YES! I kept yelling during the stream for one of them to pick him. At this point in the series, he is the next best middle after Aone and Kuroo. Maybe he isn’t as tall as Inuoka or Tsukki but more experienced. And he figured out a way to deal with the Weirdo Quick.
ADAM's team is total defense, better ground defense, better air defense.
Daichi+ Iwaizumi has been shown to be the best passers/defensive players out of all wing spikers.
Sarah's team is total offense (yes they have Nishinoya as passer) but defensively they aren't the strongest. It is shown that Tanaka+ Asahi is somewhat a 'weak' passer, especially compared to Daichi and Iwaizumi. However with 2 amazing setters, feeding almost perfect balls to their wings all the time, I'm sure they will get a decent amount of points through the wings. Oikawa and Kageyama has also shown they have nutty Line shots at D spot. Furthermore Kageyama and Oikawa are excellent servers.
So now let's break it down in terms of gameplay.
Can Sarah's strength in servers (Oikawa, Kageyama) over power the passing of Daichi, Iwaizumi and Watari? I think they can get a couple of points but I don't think they will 'over power' them. Considering even in match/set points situation, Daichi/Iwaizumi never fails to clutch dig/pass serves. Yes Sarah's team will get some service aces, but I don't think there will be many. So Sarah's strength is somewhat nullified. (Note Adam's team will rarely get any aces though lol).
Can Sarah's attackers, break through adam's total defense? Keep in mind, Kuro and Kindaichi are typically one of the 'slower' tempo MBs, they don't do super fast shoots, and prefer higher balls or time lag middle attacks - i know they can run slides, C quicks but knowing aone +fukatachi+inouka, they read block so well that their slow game play isn't good enough. Unfortunately they are up against the tallest, and strongest blockers who are known to be the best READ blockers. Slower game, i don't think they can run MB as effectively. Which will put more pressure for tanaka,asahi, kageyama to carry. Furthermore, any block touches, you know Iwaizumi/Daichi will get defensive plays easily, they are shown to be super clutch and defense machines.
Furthermore, in terms of out of system, yes Kageyama/Oikawa will have the best sets ever, feed them the best possible ball so tanaka/asahi can carry, but based on season 1, that block sense is too strong tbh. I think they will get blocked more, than they will get points out of system.
In terms of leadership, Daichi> Kuro/Oikawa tbh. In terms of intelligence, its pretty even but i think it would be Kenma vs Oikawa in terms of stratigising, which is fairly even.
As a volleyball player, who plays in club. Based on the above. I think Adam's will win. PASSING/Ground Defense/BLOCKING is way more important that 'strong attacks'. Its cool to bounce, or to whack the ball super hard, but the most important thing in VB is that the ball doesn't drop. You know ADAM's blocks will get lots of 1 touches and good amount of kill blocks. And if it does get through, u know iwaizumi/daichi/watari are gonna get that up. Yes Kageyama/Oikawa will set 99% perfect sets, but the air/ground defense is too strong in Adam's team... 'setting' is to facilitate ur attackers, but ur attackers can only do so much. Especially since Sarah's MBs run a slower game, their MBs do slower tempo, and their outsides don't run shoots, they like to hit 'high balls'.
Adam's team will win via attrition. But no doubt Sarah's team will create so many highlight reels/montage plays, but that's not what wins games. Strong passing, Strong blocks, Strong leadership is what makes or breaks games. You don't win vb through montage reels.
Only caveat i think Kenma's stamina is shit, may get super tired and his blocks are low af but Daichi's defense on the line on D hit should be sufficient.
Gotta say, I think Sarah wins draft 1: The combination of Kageyama and Oikawa is just terrifying to think of. The plays they could pull off would give fits to any team. Love Adams picks, but I really think he was banking on getting Kageyama for his super team. Losing him really hurt his offensive cabailities.
Draft 2: Adam wins. Kuroo is mature enough to deal with Oikawas obnoxiousness, real would respect real. Even with Daichi around, Tsukishima with Kageyama in season 1 is far more trouble than its worth. Fantastic format guys! Was really fun to watch.
The 1st one is really hard to call, since yeah, the Kageyama/Oikawa combination is terrifying, however just the physicality of the other team connected with Kenma's strategizing is even more terrifying. Trying to score on that team seems impossible.
Kageyama would refuse to play any role other than setter. Idk why Sarah wanted him as a hitter when it was very very clear in the first episodes that Kageyama ain't playing unless it's to set.
@@2xYuW Well, the first draft was all about pure skill/power, so I guess we shouldn't consider whether Kageyama would agree or not.
@@2xYuWwe’ve seen kageyama play spiker in the position shuffle game in the s4 all japan camp tho, if it was an unofficial match (which it would have to be for that team to exist LOL) he probably wouldn’t mind
This was great! A question for next time: What team from this season would you personally want to join and/or coach? Not based on winning potential, but rather the team dynamic/team vibe as a whole. For example, I love Karasuno but I wouldn't actually enjoy being on the team - they're too high energy for me. From this season, I'd personally join Seijoh - they are still very driven to win, but are a bit lower key and more analytical, which suits me better.
I love to imaginate Sarah making the board with love and I`m smiling so much!!!
The Sarah only drafts were so fun but this was SOOOOOO fun. I can't wait to see this again with more players and info. Also the play fighting for an hour into fully agreeing on the dream team was really sweet.
of man if this season 1 draft had this much debate and drama, I cant wait for the season 2 draft.
This was suchhh a funn experience. I love this duo soooo muchhh. Their chemistry and banter is everything 🫂🫂🫂❤️
This was the most fascinating discussion on Haikyuu! It shows how remarkable and realistic the writing was.
“There has been trickery in this draft” got me rolling in the ground. 😅😅😅
Aone and Kuroo in the same team?? As a OH,I'm crying now 😂
1:25:40, you don´t have to be sorry Sarah ☺ I´am from Europe, germany. I watched your reaction in the past and now it is a little bit more fun to watch it with you and Adam. I love your reaction so much and also the little discussion about some players. Only say Oikawa, and yes, I´m guilty to be an Oikawa fan🤓.
And let me say, that´s for sure I will also watch your further reacions of the next season and it doesn´t matter when you will send your reaction. I was and also will be watch your reaction, even if it comes out in the middle of the night for me.😄 Because they really saved my day in bring me through the week and also sets me in the perfect mood for the next weekend.
So hope Adam is excited for the 2nd season!
The good thing is that we have something to watch Saturday morning, which is also nice.
After stream video watcher here! I genuinely really appreciate how invested you both are in this series and the characters and how much genuine thought you give it with your commentary and analysis! Thank you so, so much, it’s amazing to be able to watch you on your journey with Haikyuu!! and to exchange ideas and volleyball and character knowledge! :DDD
For me...
First draft goes to Sarah - the sheer talent on that team has the edge over Adam
Second draft goes to Adam - I like the cohesiveness of a team more than the potential conflicting ideas of Sarah's team
yes....i agree w you 🤩
This was a lot of fun, thanks for streaming it! I'd love to join a live stream for the end of Demon Slayer S1, too, but I'm not too sure what to center it around since there's no drafts like this 🤔
Ths was great to see! Great idea. Also, totally, the fact that you both seriously consider the characters, plays and all that stuff liike it's really is amazing. It's a thing that I as a consumer/viewer/person enjoy a lot, specially from proffesionals. Thank you for reacting and the livestreams!!
This was awesome, I hope you repeat this stream format after each season finale ❤
It will be so interesting if Oikawa as a setter and Kageyama as an opposite in the same team 😂😂😂😂😂
I love this so much! I have said it multiple times - your content/chemistry/insight is beyond amazing. BUT this one - the clash and competitiveness - wow! I would sincerely pay to watch couple of episodes of this match up from the first draft!
I couldn’t watch live but I absolutely love this!! Please do this after every season 🥰
Team 2 Draft Notable Points
(Adam's Team - Bro House Extreme)
- Futakuchi > Kunimi works extemely well w/ Aone & is the new Captain for Date Tech. If Adam wanted some fire, he liked the trash talk and Futakuchi is one of the fattest trash talkers in S1.
- Kuroo & Oikawa cunning strategists -> 3 captains total
- Tanaka would not like Oikawa, but it's possible for him to respect Oikawa's work ethic after playing together.
- Watari like mentioned reasoning prior is fine. Yaku is the libero on a defensively sound team which says a lot about his skill & Noya complimented him directly after their practice matches.
- Oikawa is the all-star of S1, he can bring out the best in the team. Definitely out of Asahi (playing like Suga would), Tanaka (allowing him to grow more), and Kuroo (syncing like Kenma would).
- Tanaka respects Asahi as their ace and would get along easily. His attitude would counterbalance Asahi's emotional shakiness.
- Watari as mentioned prior is able to be the back-up setter and controls the ball well.
- Kuroo is one of the best if not the best all-round player. Him and Aone will be strong in the middle. However, the blocking from the rest will be generally less fierce at a high-level than others combinations. There's an argument to where Kuroo could being drafted out of position.
- Kunimi & Aone are silent types. It'll be hard to get them to be vocal. Though, Aone listens well and his actions are enough. The team will be a bit quieter with them there.
- Brief Analysis: Tall squad with plenty of raw power to attack and defend. Well-experienced as most are 2nd or 3rd years. Half the team are intelligent and most have solid game-sense.
- Biggest Dud: Kunimi
(Sarah's Team - Karasuno 2.0)
- Kageyama in S1 is a strong and confident player. His flaw is that he is awkward and has poor communication skills. It's possible for his ego to leak out. Kageyama is intense but a quick learner with the capability of being one of the greatest players.
- Kageyama & Tsukki is not that great in S1. They bicker often about minor things and don't sync up well blocking together. Daichi doesn't get to do all the work of handling them as Suga also shares that responsibility for guiding them on how to communicate.
- Hinata & Tsukki also not that great. They clash a lot. The two play opposite roles in the same position (offense vs defense) making the team inflexible at times but makes for dynamic play that can catch the opposing team off-guard as they may used to one style at that moment.
- Tsukki hasn't opened up his feelings and opinions well. He's like Kageyama awkwardness but intention since he does not try to speak to his team or express his thoughts properly.
- Taking into account Tsukki's presence being a detriment to the team and draft order, Sarah could have gotten Kuroo instead.
- Taketora (Yamamoto) works like Tanaka but is the ace of Nekoma & would have the energy with Noya. He's on Nekoma making his defense stronger than most in his position. Any other trait is irrelevant for him in S1.
- Daichi is the leader figure w/ Iwaizumi as the sub-leader. They're able to pull the team together.
- Iwaizumi & Taketora are aces and score the most on their team.
- Daichi, Taketora, Noya, and Iwaizumi can pass well and have the experience to defend. Solid back row.
- Kageyama & Iwaizumi as Sarah mentioned can help the team as he knows Kageyama more than the others.
- Taketora will likely come to respect Iwaizumi greatly as they are both physically strong and have high work ethic on their physique (their priorities on masculinity). Mutual ace respect in this case.
- Hinata & Kageyama have their godlike ace combo. This makes Hinata possible as consideration. His skills everywhere else is liable as he hasn't developed them much yet.
- Nishinoya has the confidence in himself to play well and handle any attack coming towards him. Everyone respects him for his humble nature on the court and strive to improve.
- Draft mistake: Kageyama can be picked later since Oikawa & him should realistically not be drafted together in this scenario.
Brief Analysis: 1st years bring a lot of conflict. This is a rowdy team overall. The 1st years, Noya, and the two loud prideful aces. This can lead them to get off track, but Daichi & Iwaizumi can get them back in rhythm. Their play will be explosive with Kageyama directing their plays.
- Biggest Dud: Tsukishima
Sarah and Adam! I'm coming off multiple night shifts at the hospital and I can't go to sleep yet so I'm meal-prepping while listening in. You two genuinely made me laugh and feel lighter after a horrible night where 2 of my critical patients died. thank you for all the hard work you do 💕 for the record, I think Sarah's team was stronger in Round 1 but Adam's team was stronger in Round 2.
oh and - I have non-athlete friends who also love Haikyuu and relate to the moments just the same. the emotions and experiences are universal. it's just that well written.
This was so fun and entertaining! Both your reactions and interactions were so hilarious! Hope we get another after season 2!
European here joining in on the discussion, absolutely loved watching this video.
Round 1 - Pure power picks
Adam picking Watari is a really interering choice that I do think fits the team the best. He knows his team's offense is not that flexible and choosing someone with setting experience as a libero is a really good choice. Againts specifically Sarah's team it might not be the best decision I think. Kageyama got a service ace of him. kageyama's serve isn't the most accurate, but Oikawa could easily focus him. Even when the ball goes up Kenma likely wouldn't be able to get to it. If Oikawa is serving when Aone is in the back, Sarah's team could rack up a lot of points. Futakuchi and Inuoka are great choices in my opinion. Kenma and Daichi are great, but don't fit the iron wall type. This match would probably end up being about how many points Sarah's team could score when Aone is in the back. Both of you did really great here in my opinion, It seems like a close match, but I would give Sarah the edge here.
Round 2 - Overall team power including personality types and cohesion
Sarah immediately picking Kageyama as a counter to Adam feels like a bit of a mistake to me. Unlike in the previous draft we have to think about team cohesion here and picking Oikawa and Kageyama together wouldn't be as smart as it was in the first draft. Missing out on Aone and Kuro is really bad in my opinion. Sarah then picking Tsukishima is quite a bold choice to say the least... Daichi and Iwaizumi are great leaders but moreso because of being stern and steady with their teammates rather than emotional intelligence. Kageyama and Tsukishima somewhat getting along was mainly set in motion by Sugawara while Daichi didn't really have much to do with that. Maybe Kageyama and Tsukishima don't need Sugawara anymore to smooth things out, but that feels like a gamble to me. I also don't really see Tanaka and Oikawa working together. Oikawa is great at communicating, but it's a two-way street. I can see Tanaka being too annoyed or proud that Oikawa is getting the attention from all the girls. Overall I could really only see Sarah's team getting past Adam's defense when Hinata is in the front row and that doesn't even account for Adam's really strong offense. Adam's team would probably win 9/10 times like this.
Watching Haikyu!! with both of you has been a blast and i can't wait for season 2! ❤❤❤
Can't wait to see the draft after Adam and Sarah finishing season 1～4😂 There will be sooo many players to pick from and that the live stream can be lasting more than 5 hours maybe😂😂😂
Glad both of you got invested into Haikyuu. You are very entertaining. Can't wait for season 2. HEY HEY HEY!
This was SO FUN!! I loved the whole set up with being able to see both of you and your conversations/back and forth along with the board of contenders/picks. As always your insights are so cool and interesting. This was a great way to spend my Friday night and I can’t wait for Adam to see season 2 - it only gets even better from here!!
Had my whole noght booked off to watch this livestream and got called into work :(
Really glad you put this in video form! Really enjoyed watching this! Cant wait for S2
I loved this! You two are always so fun to watch and you’re gonna need a much bigger board by the end of S4, even S2
I love how much fun you both had making this!
Now that i think about it there are probably official manga stats recorded somewhere on the Internet.
Thank you for putting this together! 🧡 Bummed that I couldn’t catch it live, but it was still so much fun!
For the 2nd draft, I like Adams team WAY more. The team is obviously very skilled but I also think that without Iwaizumi, Kuro is crucial to the team and can fill the role that Iwaizumi had in keeping Oikawa honest. I mean Oikawa , Kuro, Aone, Asahi, Tanaka and Watari are all great Kunimi is obviously not as good as Daichi but still a pretty decent player.
i caught like the last 10 mins of this live and now i have watched it as a whole and THIS WAS SO FUN! and you really prepared a lot and i think all the viewers appreciate that. and i never knew drafting wouldd be this fun! the tension and the clapbacks.. i love it! so excited for s2!!
man this was so amazing! Wish I had time to watch it live yesterday. Apologies about talking about another channel under this one, but man, makes me sad that we weren't able to get these from Coach Donny after someone intentionally hard spoiled on his first livestream. After seeing how this one went, I'm hopeful that these are going to continue seeing how there weren't really any trolls.
It’s pretty funny Sarah is worried about the Oikawa and Kuroo combo when it truly has been such a big desire in the fanbase for the two to meet and interact with each other. And a lot of the fandom does think they’d get along.
Aw, I missed it!! I didn't know it was gonna be live. I'll make sure to watch the vod and be ready for the next one of s2
Ryan M is the MVP of this livestream.
I love all your content, but i would LOVE to see a draft where you picked each other's team. Like you had to chose the worst, meanest, least cohesive team for the other one.
By the way, Sarah's fossils is unbeatable as long as she has the 3 best players (Oikawa, Kageyama and Noya) but picking Saltyshima for a cohesive team makes anybody else's team win that draft 😅.
Love you guys, keep it going.
PS: Also consider playing the Gstaad bell on a live stream :D
Hey, hey hey! Almost time for Adam to meet my second favorite character in the whole series 😉 caught the vod of this draft and loved it! Great team choices overall
I enjoyed this sooo much!!! I had so much fun watching this live!!!
Would be cool to see some other people get involved as well. A draft is always really interesting when there’s more people drafting than good players in that position I.e. setter and libero
I'm so sad it was in the middle of the night when this live started 😭 Love you guys! I hope I can see you live some day!!
Ok ok ok. I ❤ this. We need every season and then an all star draft. I want more of this lol. Can’t wait til season 2. Need a draft clock.
I was not expecting to watch this the whole way through but I did and had such a good time lol.
I never was on a sports team nor did I play any completitiv sport but HAIKYU!! is and probably will be my all time favourite anime/manga. The setting, characters with their expieriences to my is simply raw, real and relatable!
I followed Sarah along on her first watch through and I had an absolute blast watching you two wizh you different opinoins and strategies.
Looking very much forward to season 2 with you guys and wish you a wonderful sunday.
Sending lot's of love from germany ~
Ya'lls nature chemistry is SOOOO fun to watch! Great draft episode.
Omgggggg. Now this makes me excited for Season 2 draft when Adam gets to know more of the current characters and meet new exciting characters!!!
I love this! Love you two! ❤ I'm looking forward to next seasons drafts! It was and interesting take, I love it! I'm excited to see how many players you're gonna go for picking, 'cuz starting season 2 we see so many
I think Sarah win the first round. She has 3 most all-rounder players. Oikawa, Kageyama and Kuroo. However she should've picked Kamasaki from Dateko as her second blocker. You can't go wrong with picking the blocker from "Iron Wall".
For the second round I have to give it to Adam. Daichi is maybe the best "leader-leader" but Oikawa is the best "volleyball-leader". If Oikawa and Kuroo have beef then Aone will punch them. On the other hand putting Tsukki and Iwaizumi in the same team gonna be disaster. Tsukki will burn Iwaizumi even hotter than Oikawa.
This might contain spoilers about character development:
In phase 1 I saw a lot of people freaking out with Adam's choices in the live chat (and some of Sarah's too), but it makes so much sense for S1. Noya is pretty damn good, but he doesn't learn how to set better and doesn't improve in receiving float serves until later, so with the team he was building, Watari was an incredible choice. Tsuki in S1 is pretty mediocre. Great height and intelligence, but he's lacking experience, is an average hitter most of the times and sucks at receiving. Meanwhile, Kindaichi seems way more balanced and has shown a pretty damn good contact point when hitting the ball.
I think both teams are pretty good, though I feel like Adam's would win. I think I'd change Tora for Tanaka because he's way more experienced scoring against 3 blockers and overall I feel like he's also more experienced in blocking and receiving as a Nekoma player, and in terms of personality they both bring pretty much the same energy to the table, so...
It's S1 only, so Tora's relatively unknown, whereas Tanaka has done more. It's a logical pick.
For the first draft, I like Sarah's team better. both Kageyama and Oikawa are amazing setters who have good serves. They can both hit and block as well. Kuro is also a great blocker wit a good serve and can attack well too. Noya is great at block follow now so the team can follow up on the blocked attacks. Tanaka at this point is a good solid hitter with great mental toughness and reliability and Asahi has great offensive power at that point as well. Although Adams team has great block and defense. I think there are simply too many threats on Sarah's team. Assuming everything works at peak potential, I think Sarah's team takes this one.
You guys are amazing 😆💛
I love you guys, this content is really fun and exciting
Kurro and Oiwikawa isn’t going to be a problem. Oikawa and Iwazumi both have big egos but they are best friends, Oikawa has the finikier personality of the two but he wouldn’t mind being around another big personality. They are two pretty sociable guys they would get along great.
Sarah wins the power draft, Adam wins the balance draft.
Also i think it's funny your favorite middles are Aone who looks like Sarah with no eyebrows and Kuro tall and dark haired like Adam.
In retrospect, Sarah building a Serve & Block team is very on-brand and makes a lot of sense.
WAIT. YOU KNOW WHAT IT IS?? (Manga Spoilers)
.
.
.
.
.
.In round 1, Sarah straight up built Kamomedai, and Adam built a powered up Nekoma. That'd be a hella interesting match.
I think round one: Sarah has better offense, Adam has better defense. My instincts tell me Sarah wins round one because of Oikawa, but Adam has Kenma so it may not be so simple (it will be close). Round 2: Adam wins for sure with equal balanced offense/defense+cohesion (contrary to Sarah's opinion, I think Kuroo+Oikawa will work well because they are both funny jokers off-court lol).
did anyone else get reminded of that one vine at 14:41 😂😂😂😂😂 this is so entertaining already I can’t 😂❤
I really love the effort and you can feel/see their passion about Volleyball ❤
We don't deserve you both, thanks!
My first two picks were Oikawa and Kageyama! I absolutely love that the two of you wanted to take them both!
Not having either yaku or nishinoya as the libero in adam's 1st draft would definitely be detrimental esp with kenma as the setter and Sarah's team having like superb offensive power and Oikawa's serves. Running a 6-2 with Kageyama and Oikawa is definitely interesting and would be so awesome if they make it work. Both of them would totally be cool as the right attacker. The issue is probably Adam hasn't watched further than Season 1 so he doesn't have a lot of data, that's why he's surprised
This was a lot of fun! I think Sarah wins the first(power draft) and Adam wins the second(cohesive team)!! I’m glad Adam really got invested in this show as well, I appreciate his insights they’re similar to my thoughts often as I played for the boys team in highschool and I was an assistant coach for a girls team also for a quick minute. But seeing both sides player/coaching is super important. Haikyuu is just an amazing show👌
I literally yelled “WHAT” while doing dishes when kageyama and tsukishima got put on the cohesive team but I kind of see what you’re going for - very shocked initially though 😂
Im with Adam with the Iwaizumi pick. Completely agree, Iwaizumi is head and shoulders above any outside that we see during Season 1!!
Dying seeing Sarah accuse Adam of bashing, defending and being mean when she’s doing the same 10 fold lololol
brampton and kitchener both mentioned in this stream 😭😭😭 much love from burlington!!
17:55 adam with the iron wall comment has me weak 😂
Massive wall of text below but I love the theory crafting. As for the competition, you both have style and personality preferences and thats the fun of it. Adam clearly has a technical preference for defensive players, particularly blocking. I also appreciate Sarahs obvious emotional investment in the characters and preference for a winning attitude and just maybe slightly letting a little bias in for and against a few characters 😂, but so do alot of those comments saying that you're incorrect that comes from absolutely nowhere near your wealth of volleyball and teammate experience. I wouldnt take them all as gospel, everyone has opinions.
1-1 and both matches arent even close lol
also i respect adam more for not having social media, shows what kinda life hes living
When She picked Kuro.. I thought Adam had pushed her off her seat! (I had glanced off-screen for split second)
Also, I knew she would...
Also Also, after an hour and 10 minutes in... Adam commented about the COACH?
Where is the Coach pick on dream teams???!!???
Ok.. 10 minutes later IT was fixed..
This was amazing …. Whenever I try to pick a side, another good thing pops up over the other team. I would have to say that both Iwaizumi & Futakchi are a little bit more skilled than Season 1&2 Tanaka and Asahi, although Asahi is stronger than both.
I do love the pick with Inouka. One of the MOST underrated players in all of Haikyuu. Extremely smart and evolving player.
Adam’s team in defense is an absolute monstrosity (in the good sense). You have three seasoned middles that can do a stronger Iron Wall formation. Solid passers in Daichi and Iwaizumi, and THE smartest character in all of Haikyuu. Maybe not the most battle motivated, or hyped, but Kenma is a monster in his own. And a “ I’m gonna actual try Kenma”, is horrifyingly scary. Also something important to mentioned. Any Nekoma player is a seasoned passer and defender. Their attack ain’t their strength, but their defense and ability to latch on is quite the tool. I would have chosen Yaku, since he is the literal opposite of the best defender in all of Haikyuu. Plus he can help baby Kenma on his precise he is. I’ll switch around some positions as well. I’ll have Inouka and Aone be together, having Inouka play Outside, and Aone playing MB. At right I’ll have Kenma since that is how he usually starts. Daichi straight behind him so that he can baby Kenma.
With Sarah’s team… golly …. This is a mad experimental team. Solid defense with Oikawa, Kuroo, Noya, Tanaka and even maybe Asahi and Kageyama. Their power comes from constant attacking and pressure. Two National level setters, although S1 Kageyama is still quite immature, but his technique is still remarkable. An Oikawa / Kuroo duo seems extremely unpleasant (in the good way as well). It just feels gross playing against them. The blocks are gonna be constant and sticky, and if they do a three person block you’re adding Kageyama who has height, experience and solid reflexes. I would switch positions a bit here over who plays where since you have players like Asahi who can score from anywhere, I see the picture of Kageyama as an Oppo because of his LineShots, but I feel like his talent would be wasted like that. I would do something a little bit more simple like a front / back row setter, and switch around who sets on play.
Both teams are extremely consistent on their respective positions. It’s literally Sword Vs Shield in the draft. We would actually have to mod a game to see what would happen here
EDIT: I JUST REALIZED THAT BOTH TEAMS MADE THE MAXED OUT VERSIONS OF TWO SCHOOLS.
SPOILER ALERT -- SPOILER ALERT
SPOILERS ONLY FOR MANGA READERS
READ AT YOUR OWN WILL!
Adam made a Maxed Out Kamomedia. And what is wild is that Kamomedia is already a Maxed out Date Tech.
Sara made a maxed out Karasuno. Only without the Minus Quick. Attack wise, the caliber here would be on par with Karasuno, only that it would be stronger and more precise. Rather than quick.
Dang... When later seasons roll around we're gonna need a bigger board!
Did a video like this happen for the other seasons with you two? 😢
I really like the futakuchi pick. He is tall, jumps high and is fast. He is with aone the cornerstone of the iron wall. Also is dateko Ace.
But kindaichi is better than both tsukki and inuoka.
Nobody brought up that Noya will literally not play without Asahi? Easy Adam W in draft 2.
The board is soooo cute.I'm crying😢😢❤😂😊🎉
Kageyama not being setter, Sarah?The drama in the team!!!!
PD: Oh, it was a only power team
... So, I understand.
But, Kageyama as a first choice for a coesive team... You really think he change a lot!
I think individually, for the first pick, Sarah's picked a team with stronger individual players, focused on attack. Adam's team is stronger defensively, with great blocking and ball-control. Personality aside, Adam's team has great synergy - the Watari pick in isolation is questionable, but paired with Kenma creates great synergy. Iwaizumi + Daichi + Watari on defence maximises great passes to utilise the Aone in the middle more, and opens the team up for attacking especially if Kenma uses Iwaizumi well. As offensively (almost oppressively) strong as Sarah's team is, I think the lack of consistent ball-control in the team is the downfall. Adam's team is truly a suped up Nekoma and I think that wins out 6/10 times against Sarah's first team.
Kagayama has outside is a solid pick they say in the manga that he is skilled enough to play most other positions and pretty solid, his line shot is really good, tho this may be showned more later in the show. Inuoka vs kendaichi is a good debate, i'd say inuoka is probably better at blocking but weaker on attack then kendaichi.
I was never on a team and the restaurant scene still hit hard
Hello!!! I would like to know if you guys are going to watch the OVA that is before starting second season.
Love you guys!❤
Tbh, I never imagined Sarah would first pick Oikawa 😂
In season 2 it's going to be incredibly different, it's going to be fun hahaha, hug from Arg they are the best
いつも楽しく観てます❗
早くseason2を待ってます😊
sarah's team definitely wins the first round. her serve receive isn't amazing but adam's team doesn't have any good servers, so it's easy pickups anyway. sarah has the two best servers so far serving on the worst defensive libero, so adam will probably have more trouble, especially considering he has the least athletic setter. adam's offense is also non-existent since iwaizumi is his only good hitter (aone did not hit a whole lot). lastly, his right-side block is terrible (kenma and daichi) so asahi and tanaka are definitely tooling that block... don't even need to set kageyama and worry about that futakuchi x aone block, but it could be fun for him to go for a cross play with the middles lol
yeah sorry team 2 is so over adam takes it easy, s1 tsuki does not care who the captain is he's not going to magically synergise with kageyama and hinata just isnt good regardless of who he's with, i doubt yamamoto and iwaizumi have the patience asahi and tanaka have to deal with kageyama's s1 shenanigans
ps: if sarah wants to pick based on kageyama's personality she should just base it off who she would want to play with haha
Why should Sarah be worried about the Kurroo Oikawa combination lol both have egos, but both also have the understanding of their skills and the right amount of respect to listen to each other, so there is absolutely no problem -since Kuroo is chill as fuck and Oikawa wont get on his nerves because of that
