It doesnt get much better than this! Absolute PEAK!! We finish Season 3 over on Patreon later this week for those wanting to get ahead! www.patreon.com/carlie_and_ange
To your suprise it actually does and you probably know this after watching season 3 and youre in a hell of a ride for season 4 which has imo the craziest match in whole haikyuu manga
i really like how Ange appreciates Iwaizumi, he's incredibly underrated, while he's performing in so many crucial moments for seijoh, like cuting off yamaguchi's serve on 1 with a double save was something else
Ange's face when he picks up the keyboard and Carlie yells "WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?" Just looking from her to the camera and back again. Priceless. This is the reaction content I'm here for.
Oikawa's character development and also his super long fast set makes him MVP for this episode. He didn't stop there, after the set even though he crashes and slips, he gets back in position to be able to receive.
Yeah that little slip when he's trying to rush back to the court is such a nice touch to show the sheer dedication of him. Also his monster serve was super clutch again.
12:01 is one of the best moments in Haikyuu. Oikawa's unwavering faith in Iwaizumi whenever they're put in a tough spot (pointed out by Kageyama in a previous episode). Combined with the one of the hardest and most impressive plays of the series. In that moment, Oikawa surpassed all of his known limits. Not because of his natural "talent", but because he finally trusted that all of the blood, sweat, and tears he had dedicated to volleyball would take him further. “Talent is something you make bloom. Instinct is something you polish!” He's not even my favourite character, but I always tear up watching him crash into the table and still push on with the match.
For MVP my heart will always say Oikawa for this episode. He has let go of that ‘I’m not a genuis’ cage he was in and played without regret. “Talent is something you make bloom. Instinct is something you polish” BEAUTIFUL 💙
Oikawa is an S tier character! He has some of the most epic lines. We couldve given MVP to like 5 different players 😆 We’ve actually since changed this eps MVP to Oikawa (no disrespect to Hinata, but the overwhelming majority has voted for Oikawa). We’ll do a final graphic for all the MVP’s when we finish the series!
@@CarlieAndAnge the fact that the MVP section gets harder and harder for you guys just goes to show the strength of this cast. Would love to see once you caught up a tier list of the characters from you guys and see how many are in S tier
7:38 this is why sports anime are my favourite genre of this medium ❤️ I can be hype for a lot of fights in anime but this is a true battle. Watching 12 people (six on each side) ALL fight with soo much love and passion, for me eclipses any other experience I have had in this medium. For something that may seem as simple as ‘just a high school tournament’, but theses boys (all of the teams and everyone who has supported them) have all put their time, effort, sweat and tears into it …. there’s no other feeling like it. Sport is beautiful. It’s beautiful and Haikyuu captures it masterfully.
@@TheDaTuDaalready watched it as I’m a big sports anime fan but yes valid opinion! Just personally for me Haikyuu is my favourite anime/manga of all time
I've watched so many Haikyuu reactions but this is by far the hypest and most entertaining of them all. You have come *so far* with your videos (recently watched your reuploaded movie reactions from a couple years ago and the difference is so huge!). Love you guys❤ + Always glad to see Iwaizumi love! Despite being an ace known for a powerful attack his receives this match were absolutely insane. Him and Oikawa are a lot of people's favorite duo in the series, and there's a good reason for that
Oikawa gotta be MVP for me, followed closely by Iwaizumi. Without Oikawa's monstrous mentality and sets, Seijoh couldn't have kept up with Karasuno there. Really gonna miss Oikawa-Iwa, absolute beast of a duo. As you said couple of episodes earlier, it's heartbreaking for the third years no matter which team loses here.
Absolutely, thoroughly enjoyed your reaction. This is what Haikyuu brings from people, love this show. One request though, would love to see what your thoughts were for Oikawa's backstory scene. That scene, is actually one of my fav life lessons out of haikyuu. "don't compare yourself to others, believe that this is not your limit, give your 100% everything first". With this episode, Oikawa became my fav character of the entire Haikyuu series. Oikawa's epic set at the end was something else, it's so damn difficult to do that, I know since I used to play setter. "Talent is something you make bloom, Instinct is something you polish" great line!!!!!! 17:14 yeah, all 6 players from each team touched the ball in that last play - going on with the theme of what Oikawa says - "the six who are strong are stronger" - love this. Also the last play between Kageyama and Hinata is same as season 1 last play, there hinata was hitting with his eyes closed and Kageyama - Hinata freak quick lost, but now Kageyama - Hinata improved freak quick won it. MVP for me is Oikawa and then maybe Iwa even though Karasuno won. If we have to choose from Karasuno, I might have to give it to Daichi or kageyama or Hinata. All of the other teammates were amazing too, it's a very hard decision but I think I will give it to Daichi, without his receives, Oikawa would have ended the match long back ago.
iwaizumi is incredibly loved in the fandom along with oikawa!! that scene where oikawa points at him and gives him that amazing pass is unbelievable, for me the most memorable scene in the episode 🤧 i personally love seijoh and even though i love karasuno and i always root for them the most, it pains me to see the seijoh guys lose, they are really good and also deserved to be able to beat shiratorizawa 😭
Everything involving Oikawa on this last point is simply legendary. He managed to make the most difficult pass of the entire match and the only reason he didn't catch Hinata's attack was because the ball deflected off the fingers of one of the blockers. Finally, the phrase “Talent is something you make bloom. Instinct is something you polish” is something that marked me in life... Oikawa is an epic character.
The fact that Oikawa would have received the last spike from Hinata if the blocker didn’t touch it still gets to me, and he literally plays incredibly well with an injured knee! He's the definition of hardwork and still wasn’t able to beat someone with talent, Best character in Hypekyuu without a doubt!
Hard disagree with the "wasn't able to beat someone with talent" sentence, this is a team sport saying "he couldn't best talent" is a huge slap in the face to the karasuno players, they won the match Oikawa went 1 to 1 with kage even above him. This game was won by the X factor of karasuno chemistry Sorry for the rant, i just think its a disservice to both oikawa and karasuno when it's just put in black and white terms like that
This is an extreme case of the Mandela effect because there's nothing wrong with Oikawa's knee, it's all made up from a speculation years ago about why his kneepads were different colours.
My pick for MVP is Oikawa but if it has to be a Karasuno player my bid goes to Daichi (barely over Tanaka). Daichi received an insane clutch serve, for context on how insane the serve is the first time it shows Oikawa doing his crazy serve the ball lands (even though it's out of bounds) before Oikawa does!
@CarlieAndAnge yeah lmaooo yall are the first reactors I've seen do a MVP segment of reactions and I love it so much!! I definitely think it's perfect to have for Haikyuu and im sure other sports anime
Look, it wasn’t my finest moment. I wasn’t going to throw the thing, I just needed to pick up something and shake it around a bit. I unfortunately restarted the damn episode 🤣
Oikawa is my favorite non-karasuno character. Originally I didnt like him very much, but as season 2 goes, I find to like him more. I think these comment that I've copy-pasted from another video really summed Oikawa character : (originally by AlbertRotten) "Most people will say the long set was Oikawa’s greatest moment, but for me it’s the few seconds immediately after it that really made me appreciate him as a character. Crashing into the table, that little stumble as he runs back, that look of desperation on his face. It’s subtle and easy to miss, but that short sequence illustrates Oikawa’s passion and love for volleyball. The long set showed off his pure athleticism, but athleticism will only take you so far. Passion is the other half of that equation. Passion is what turns great athletes into elite athletes. Passion is what Oikawa lacked in Season 1. He was always a hard worker and always extremely skilled, but encountering prodigies like Kageyama and Ushiwaka completely broke him and filled him with insecurities. He didn’t have the passion to compete against these prodigies, he just accepted that they would eventually surpass him someday. Even though his team beat Karasuno in Season 1, Oikawa was at his lowest at that point in time. Ironically enough, even though Karasuno beat him in Season 2, Oikawa earned a personal victory because he finally found that passion to compete against the prodigies, to finally reject the notion that these prodigies would eventually surpass him someday. Oikawa finally shed all the insecurities holding him back from becoming a truly elite athlete."
The final point sequence is probably my favorite rally in the show. Like Ange said, the way every player on the court played a part in that point is what really made it special. The sound track, the animation, the sheer determination to win. God. Goosebumps every damn time.
This episode has my favourite clip of the whole show. I love when Oikawa points at Iwaizumi, sets the ball across the court, takes down a table as he fly backwards, gets up like he didn't even notice because it was just THAT important to him to keep playing. I think it really shows how competitive and focused Oikawa is and it's one of the things that make him very enjoyable for me to watch.
Hands down my favourite Haikyuu!! reaction, and it's not even close! Your investment in either team, yelling at insane plays from both sides makes it an absolute hype train from start to finish, skipping all stations!
Y’all are so fun 😂 really enjoyed this reaction a lot. Definitely one of my favorite episodes in the series. I was kinda sad you guys cut Oikawa’s flashback with his coach but man this episode is always my favorite to see people react to
"A message from future lmao"😭😭😭Also the fact that at 13:34 Kageyana and Hinata switching positions was exactly the same movement they did in season 1, it was just lit🔥🔥
I am so impressed by Iwa-chan's received this last match and I really wanted to give him the MVP, but Oikawa's arc always made me go to him for the MVP in this episode no matter how many times I rewatched it. That last set from him means so much for his journey to becoming the Genius himself and surpassing that wall of being so-called "commoners" and everything that has been holding him back from standing with the same level of Geniuses like Kageyama and Ushijima. I am so happy for Oikawa and Karasuno 🤍
Holy shit, this reaction was so hype, i was squealing and smiling in public cuz i couldn't contain my excitement! Ive seen this episode a bunch of times and i was still that hyped!
This was a SPECTACULAR display of tenacity on both sides. The episode literally had zero chill. I was on the edge of my seat the very first time I've watched it and I still am now, after seeing it multiple times. Both teams desperately fighting for not only each and every point but doing the utmost to not let that ball drop. Just gives me chills. That set to Iwaizumi and then Oikawa crashing into the table/chairs was so good too, you really *felt* it.
About the MVP, even though Karasuno win the match and everyone is play their very best, I think this episode is all about Oikawa and the thing that he has overcome as far as like not feeling good enough, or not measures up to the good players. That set up to Iwaizumi is spectacular play just to keep his team on that last rally, even though he has to sacrifice his body to fall into the table scores. Mad respect and I think Oikawa is deserve the MVP this episode.
This is my second favourite episode in the whole series i’m so glad you guys watched it it’s amazing and oikawa’s : “talent is something you make bloom , instinct is something you polish” makes me emotional every time i watch it
2:00 okay you guys are extreme MVPs for even giving a volume warning like that, fact that you two were laughing about it means it's probably going to be one of those awesome moments that we're not even going to blame you for. 12:02 If anyone questions your dedication to the show this moment here shows that it's literally impossible to say that you aren't dedicated to the show. Remembering his name "makki" It's probably one of the biggest things you could have done. I've also seen this ending point so many times I have it memorized in my head I can hear the song and the words spoken at the same time almost perfectly 17:56 I don't think ange realizes how amazing it is to have someone say this. It's so rare for people to actually think ahead and see what the future can hold as opposed to just accepting what things are now and saying yes yes move forward I love that you guys have to predict and think and do stuff like this especially if they're crazy theories that may or may not work but makes sense 22:37 do you know how hard it is to get people i know into haikyu? I tell them the payoff is insane, like you are saying here. Music, the whole sequence, it's something else
Hinata is a good MVP but Oikawa takes this episode for me. He put everything on the line for this game. He was like the final boss. He Served incredibly, he did an amazing perfect set to Iwaizumi, struggled to get back up AND was ready to get Hinata's spike in the end. He was so good and did everything to carry his team to victory but he just fell short.
Honestly this Oikawa set is one of my top 3 moments from this anime. It is absolutely stunningly beautiful visual. Also it is crazy that Oikawa would have gotten that spike from Hinata at the end if it didnt accidentally riccochet off of the hand and change trajectory.
Somebody call an ambulance for seasons 3 and 4 cause someone's definitely gonna faint on those episodes Love the hype takes me back to my own first time watching it I was screaming at my TV like I was in the arena xD
also in my opinion haikyuu has one of the best soundtracks in anime, yuki hayashi is a beast and the music gets better with each season, you will see!! and yeah he also writes amazing music for my hero academia, idk but everything he touches is gold
All the screaming is expected, Haikyuu just does just such an amazing job of building up hype and then delivering in the most amazing way. It gets better in season3 and even better in some moments in season 4.
This episode made me loose me my absolute shit like never before!!! 🔥🔥 To this day this is one of my FAVOURITE matches even after finishing the manga! 🤩😁
I swear I’ve already seen the whole show but watching this episode with you guys got my blood boiling my heart was beating sssooooo fffaaaassttt i love this match 🫨🔥
Good to see another in the Iwaizumi fan club. He's great. Ange was really testing fate with that keyboard grab, imagine if you pressed the other arrow and skipped to spoil the end of the episode, that's unforgivable.
I would give it to Iwaizumi or Oikawa for this episode. But I would agree to give it to Hinata because he proved that his persistence to learn and open his eyes to hit Kageyama's super quick attack was correct and it paid off. If he had not learn to open his eyes, history would repeat again and the ball would have been blocked.
I think this is probably one of the best reaction videos ive seen from you guys. the energy is unmatched and you guys are so into it, its really enjoyable to watch keep it up guys
You guys are one of if not my very favorite reaction channels out here. I'm so so os oss osooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ooooooooooooo ooooooo happy that you're going through haikyuu now, and can't wait till you get through season 4 so I can just binge the entire watchthrough
The best thing about that last point is that it's exactly the same set up as the last point in the first game in Season 1. The only difference was that Shoyo's eyes were open. I loved that it highlighted this by reflecting the ball in his eye.
tsukki is exicited while tsukki is like standing like a tree😂 It is basic words but it is different coming from tsukki lol😂 Yeah he is a tsundere so it is a big moment😅 even carlie tear up at that part
Idk but this is the Karasuno victory that I really couldn't fully be all cheers and happy for. Like I was really happy for them and it was satisfying but I got so attached to Oikawa and his team that it was really bitter sweet. It was the last match for Oikawa, Iwaizumi.. and knowing how much Oikawa wanted to beat Shiratorizava and never be able to really hit hard. Like out of all the 3rd years there was def no one who lived and breathed Volleyball more then Oikawa so knowing he never gets to nationals was painful ngl
Tbh, I was laughing from start to finish of this video 🤣 the hype of this episode is unreal! Hope you didn't get a visit from the police by how loud your screams are 🤣
I'm going through a breakup, so heartbroken but these videos help me to distract myself and forget about the pain for a few minutes a day, I just wanted to say thank you. ♡
I love this episode so much, I'm glad y'all enjoyed it as well! Something that y'all quickly touched on in the discussion was the fact that Hinata got the last hit in. I noticed on a rewatch was that Season 2's final point and Season 1's final point are essentially shot for shot the same. Same animation and same 3 blocker set up, the difference being the outcome. I think it beautifully illustrates both Hinata and Kageyama's growth. By allowing Hinata to fight on his own in the air, by learning the intricacies of the relationship between setter and spiker, they are stronger now than they've ever been. I think it's a wonderful parallel and one of the many awesome stories that are told by the anime. Excited for y'all to start season 3!
As much as I love Karasuno and they deserve an MVP spot for this match, I would honestly give the spot to Iwaizumi. His spikes, his insane recieves, his crazy pick up of Yamaguchi's float - that man was a beast this ep 🔥
To me, the most impressive play in this entire *game*, much less this episode, is Oikawa's ultra set. Theres so many crazy moments in this episode, but that is the most insane
Absolutely brilliant and entertaining reaction from you guys which made me smile all the way through, for the mvp section id like to add a suggestion that if the winner of mvp is a kurasano player you add a best opponent player as a shout out like iwazumi or in my opinion oikawa for this game for example, hope you see this and up to you at end of the day lol
Don´t know if you get that the last "attack" was the exact same as the last one in the last match against Seijou, but this time Hinata had his eyes open.
SPOILERS for the Ep under here, heads up ---- 21:36 There's another YT channel, Harsh Reviews, that I think put that moment perfectly: In S1, Oikawa lost by winning, but in S2, he won by losing. In S1, even though they beat Karasuno, he already admits defeat in his head, going, "Someday you'll surpass me, Tobio". But in S2, despite having probably the low point of their rivalry up til now (with Kageyama surprising them with a setter dump he couldn't save), he goes "I refuse to lose". And he has that whole speech about how, no matter what happens in that match, he's gonna keep going. No matter how long it takes, he commits himself to reaching the level of the 'geniuses' like Kageyama and Ushijima that he hates so much. My opinion is that the cross-court set is so huge because the Oikawa from S1? Wouldn't have attempted that. He would've tried to save it one-handed, keep it in play, whatever. But the Oikawa who has crossed that threshold and is now galvanized (rather than frustrated) by facing a powerful opponent, has that "No,. I'm making this happen" mentality, and that's when he points to Iwaizumi like, "Hey. Ace. Get ready." And if you watch it back, you can see even Iwaizumi is even shocked by it a little bit. Legit? Seeing him go for that insane play, and the way they animate him slipping, desperate to get up and get back into the game even afterwards? One of my all-time fave Haikyuu moments.
It's interesting that you said you don't see a lot of people talk about Oikawa and Iwaizumi. Back in 2016 (?) when season 2 aired (and also during season 1) those two were probably the fan favorite non Karasuno characters and even very high regared compared to Karasuno. This fandom truly loves their characters, and those two have been very much appreciated, as they deserve. Together with the rest of Seijoh, the amount of love Makki and Mattsun (the other two third years) got compared to their screen time is actually (positively) ridiculous :D It's just that we've got so many cool new characters to talk about and love all the time 😅 I'm happy with both Hinata and Kageyama as MVP, it was absolutely their combined effort, but I personally lean towards Kageyama. When Hinata bumped into him to block the ball, Kageyama already was in the right place to block. And the last set to HInata wasn't as flashy as the spike itself, but it was perfect (again). AND I feel that it's important to notice how calm and concetrated he stayed although he battled Oikawa, which just shows so much growth compapred to their last match Sidenot: I cannot wait for you guys to start liking Shiratorizawa 👀 Ushiwaka is actually one of my favorite characters 🤣
"I think I have to get involved" "SUB ME ON" Now imagine Angelo playing alongside with Tanaka 🤣🤣🤣 your reaction from 10:40 is hilarious to me and I love it!! Also I think I am deaf now but I'm not complaining 🤣 (didn't take the warning srsly). "Talent is something you make bloom, Instincts is something you polish" Oikawa with that perfect long set for Iwazumi, him crashing down and then getting up immediately and his trust in Iwazumi in that moment is one of my favorites Haikyuu moments, what a perfect duo.
Seriously, this episode is one of the most hype episodes in the season. That was a lot of screaming from everyone hahaha Also I don't think I've ever seen Carlie grab Ange's shirt so much before! XD
I really enjoyed the video! Kinda disappointed that there was no discussion part about the flashback of Oikawa, the scene isn't included in the video, but his old coach, giving him a speech about reaching your potential/not giving up because you aren't a genius is very interesting from a sporting perspective. Regardless, I enjoyed the video :)

there is no injured knee, its fanon which is actually unbelievable.
This is an extreme case of the Mandela effect because there's nothing wrong with Oikawa's knee, it's all made up from a speculation years ago about why his kneepads were different colours.
its actually an ankle not a knee
My pick for MVP is Oikawa but if it has to be a Karasuno player my bid goes to Daichi (barely over Tanaka). Daichi received an insane clutch serve, for context on how insane the serve is the first time it shows Oikawa doing his crazy serve the ball lands (even though it's out of bounds) before Oikawa does!
There are so many good MVP candidates!! Its so hard to pick
@CarlieAndAnge yeah lmaooo yall are the first reactors I've seen do a MVP segment of reactions and I love it so much!! I definitely think it's perfect to have for Haikyuu and im sure other sports anime
Also 5:29 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I dont think ive ever seen Ange shout like that!
Only ever in Haikyuu will this happen 🤣 Im an absolutely rabbid spectator when it comes to sport
@@CarlieAndAnge It makes for some very entertaining reactions. Just know that we're all yelling with ya!!!
14:36 ANGE WHAT WAS THAT LMAOOOOOO
Look, it wasn’t my finest moment. I wasn’t going to throw the thing, I just needed to pick up something and shake it around a bit. I unfortunately restarted the damn episode 🤣
Bro my mind screamed that in League of Legends' caster's voice 🤣🤣🤣
14:36 LMAO. I’M DEAD. CARLIE STOPPED CELEBRATING BECAUSE OF ANGE 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
"Talent is something you make bloom, instinct is something you polish."
Oikawa is my favorite non-karasuno character. Originally I didnt like him very much, but as season 2 goes, I find to like him more. I think these comment that I've copy-pasted from another video really summed Oikawa character :
(originally by AlbertRotten)
"Most people will say the long set was Oikawa’s greatest moment, but for me it’s the few seconds immediately after it that really made me appreciate him as a character. Crashing into the table, that little stumble as he runs back, that look of desperation on his face. It’s subtle and easy to miss, but that short sequence illustrates Oikawa’s passion and love for volleyball. The long set showed off his pure athleticism, but athleticism will only take you so far. Passion is the other half of that equation. Passion is what turns great athletes into elite athletes. Passion is what Oikawa lacked in Season 1. He was always a hard worker and always extremely skilled, but encountering prodigies like Kageyama and Ushiwaka completely broke him and filled him with insecurities. He didn’t have the passion to compete against these prodigies, he just accepted that they would eventually surpass him someday. Even though his team beat Karasuno in Season 1, Oikawa was at his lowest at that point in time. Ironically enough, even though Karasuno beat him in Season 2, Oikawa earned a personal victory because he finally found that passion to compete against the prodigies, to finally reject the notion that these prodigies would eventually surpass him someday. Oikawa finally shed all the insecurities holding him back from becoming a truly elite athlete."
The final point sequence is probably my favorite rally in the show. Like Ange said, the way every player on the court played a part in that point is what really made it special. The sound track, the animation, the sheer determination to win. God. Goosebumps every damn time.
This episode has my favourite clip of the whole show. I love when Oikawa points at Iwaizumi, sets the ball across the court, takes down a table as he fly backwards, gets up like he didn't even notice because it was just THAT important to him to keep playing. I think it really shows how competitive and focused Oikawa is and it's one of the things that make him very enjoyable for me to watch.
to this day, Oikawa's super long set to Iwaizumi remains one of my top moments
Hands down my favourite Haikyuu!! reaction, and it's not even close! Your investment in either team, yelling at insane plays from both sides makes it an absolute hype train from start to finish, skipping all stations!
Oikawa should get the MVP for me. He did so much for his team even when they lost.
Oikawa one of the most powerfull spike and his super long fast really make him MVP in this episode🔥
Y’all are so fun 😂 really enjoyed this reaction a lot. Definitely one of my favorite episodes in the series. I was kinda sad you guys cut Oikawa’s flashback with his coach but man this episode is always my favorite to see people react to
"A message from future lmao"😭😭😭Also the fact that at 13:34 Kageyana and Hinata switching positions was exactly the same movement they did in season 1, it was just lit🔥🔥
Carlie grabbing onto ange’s shoulder got me creasing so hard 😭😭😭😭
for me, Oikawa is the MVP, then Iwaizumi.. Epic episode!!
im literally gonna cry reliving this match. one of my favorite episodesssss
I am so impressed by Iwa-chan's received this last match and I really wanted to give him the MVP, but Oikawa's arc always made me go to him for the MVP in this episode no matter how many times I rewatched it. That last set from him means so much for his journey to becoming the Genius himself and surpassing that wall of being so-called "commoners" and everything that has been holding him back from standing with the same level of Geniuses like Kageyama and Ushijima. I am so happy for Oikawa and Karasuno 🤍
Holy shit, this reaction was so hype, i was squealing and smiling in public cuz i couldn't contain my excitement! Ive seen this episode a bunch of times and i was still that hyped!
I've seen this episode dozens of times. I cannot choose an MVP for this episode, because it is the epitome of team play
This was a SPECTACULAR display of tenacity on both sides. The episode literally had zero chill. I was on the edge of my seat the very first time I've watched it and I still am now, after seeing it multiple times. Both teams desperately fighting for not only each and every point but doing the utmost to not let that ball drop. Just gives me chills.
That set to Iwaizumi and then Oikawa crashing into the table/chairs was so good too, you really *felt* it.
I've watched your reactions a million times but damn I still get amazed at how good Angelo is on the covers. Keep being awesome man!
This episode is one of the best in Haikyuu! The hype was off the charts!
About the MVP, even though Karasuno win the match and everyone is play their very best, I think this episode is all about Oikawa and the thing that he has overcome as far as like not feeling good enough, or not measures up to the good players. That set up to Iwaizumi is spectacular play just to keep his team on that last rally, even though he has to sacrifice his body to fall into the table scores. Mad respect and I think Oikawa is deserve the MVP this episode.
Talent is something u make bloom
Instinct is something u polish
What a line
This is my second favourite episode in the whole series i’m so glad you guys watched it it’s amazing and oikawa’s : “talent is something you make bloom , instinct is something you polish” makes me emotional every time i watch it
The first fav moment is in the third season can’t wait for it
2:00 okay you guys are extreme MVPs for even giving a volume warning like that, fact that you two were laughing about it means it's probably going to be one of those awesome moments that we're not even going to blame you for.
12:02 If anyone questions your dedication to the show this moment here shows that it's literally impossible to say that you aren't dedicated to the show. Remembering his name "makki" It's probably one of the biggest things you could have done.
I've also seen this ending point so many times I have it memorized in my head I can hear the song and the words spoken at the same time almost perfectly
17:56 I don't think ange realizes how amazing it is to have someone say this. It's so rare for people to actually think ahead and see what the future can hold as opposed to just accepting what things are now and saying yes yes move forward I love that you guys have to predict and think and do stuff like this especially if they're crazy theories that may or may not work but makes sense
22:37 do you know how hard it is to get people i know into haikyu? I tell them the payoff is insane, like you are saying here. Music, the whole sequence, it's something else
You guys are officially my favorite reactors on yt 😂 the enthusiasm is off the roof 🔥
Hinata is a good MVP but Oikawa takes this episode for me. He put everything on the line for this game. He was like the final boss. He Served incredibly, he did an amazing perfect set to Iwaizumi, struggled to get back up AND was ready to get Hinata's spike in the end. He was so good and did everything to carry his team to victory but he just fell short.
Honestly this Oikawa set is one of my top 3 moments from this anime. It is absolutely stunningly beautiful visual. Also it is crazy that Oikawa would have gotten that spike from Hinata at the end if it didnt accidentally riccochet off of the hand and change trajectory.
Somebody call an ambulance for seasons 3 and 4 cause someone's definitely gonna faint on those episodes
Love the hype takes me back to my own first time watching it
I was screaming at my TV like I was in the arena xD
this is the episode where every character went up to 120% of their potential. crazy game!
also in my opinion haikyuu has one of the best soundtracks in anime, yuki hayashi is a beast and the music gets better with each season, you will see!! and yeah he also writes amazing music for my hero academia, idk but everything he touches is gold
When Ange picking Keyboard-kun, i scream "NO DON'T!!!" so loud that my sister knocking on my door.
I really thought Ange gonna smash Keyboard-kun....
Probably the greatest reaction to Season 2 Episode 24 ever
Iwaizumi’s saves, Oikawa’s super long set and talent line, your hype, Karasuno’s winning match!
S tier reaction
All the screaming is expected, Haikyuu just does just such an amazing job of building up hype and then delivering in the most amazing way. It gets better in season3 and even better in some moments in season 4.
This episode made me loose me my absolute shit like never before!!! 🔥🔥
To this day this is one of my FAVOURITE matches even after finishing the manga! 🤩😁
I think this moment when oikawa hit that super long set was when i got super hooked to haikyu
I'm so glad that you are recognizing iwazumi's talent! He's probably my favourite character, even tho we don't see that much of him😞
BEST REACTION EVER !!! That was so funny!! you guys are the best!
Sport, anime, and music! This is why I love your reactions!
Watching this once is not enough!
I swear I’ve already seen the whole show but watching this episode with you guys got my blood boiling my heart was beating sssooooo fffaaaassttt i love this match 🫨🔥
Good to see another in the Iwaizumi fan club. He's great. Ange was really testing fate with that keyboard grab, imagine if you pressed the other arrow and skipped to spoil the end of the episode, that's unforgivable.
I would give it to Iwaizumi or Oikawa for this episode. But I would agree to give it to Hinata because he proved that his persistence to learn and open his eyes to hit Kageyama's super quick attack was correct and it paid off. If he had not learn to open his eyes, history would repeat again and the ball would have been blocked.
I think this is probably one of the best reaction videos ive seen from you guys. the energy is unmatched and you guys are so into it, its really enjoyable to watch keep it up guys
The Oikawa-Kageyama rivalry is too damn good 😭🔥
You guys are one of if not my very favorite reaction channels out here. I'm so so os oss osooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ooooooooooooo ooooooo happy that you're going through haikyuu now, and can't wait till you get through season 4 so I can just binge the entire watchthrough
The best thing about that last point is that it's exactly the same set up as the last point in the first game in Season 1. The only difference was that Shoyo's eyes were open. I loved that it highlighted this by reflecting the ball in his eye.
tsukki is exicited while tsukki is like standing like a tree😂
It is basic words but it is different coming from tsukki lol😂 Yeah he is a tsundere so it is a big moment😅
even carlie tear up at that part
Idk but this is the Karasuno victory that I really couldn't fully be all cheers and happy for. Like I was really happy for them and it was satisfying but I got so attached to Oikawa and his team that it was really bitter sweet. It was the last match for Oikawa, Iwaizumi.. and knowing how much Oikawa wanted to beat Shiratorizava and never be able to really hit hard. Like out of all the 3rd years there was def no one who lived and breathed Volleyball more then Oikawa so knowing he never gets to nationals was painful ngl
OMG , i got so hyped for the reaction when i saw the warning message😂
Tbh, I was laughing from start to finish of this video 🤣 the hype of this episode is unreal! Hope you didn't get a visit from the police by how loud your screams are 🤣
I'm going through a breakup, so heartbroken but these videos help me to distract myself and forget about the pain for a few minutes a day, I just wanted to say thank you. ♡
We hope you feel better soon. Sending hugs! ❤️❤️
yo someone get these two a heart rate monitor for season 3 😂😂😂😂 not the sound volume disclaimer in the beginning 🤣🤣🤣🤣
This by far my fav reaction of haikyuu so far! I love you guys reaction so much, i watched haikyuu like plenty of times but it still got me hype😭😂🫶
I love this episode so much, I'm glad y'all enjoyed it as well! Something that y'all quickly touched on in the discussion was the fact that Hinata got the last hit in. I noticed on a rewatch was that Season 2's final point and Season 1's final point are essentially shot for shot the same. Same animation and same 3 blocker set up, the difference being the outcome. I think it beautifully illustrates both Hinata and Kageyama's growth. By allowing Hinata to fight on his own in the air, by learning the intricacies of the relationship between setter and spiker, they are stronger now than they've ever been.
I think it's a wonderful parallel and one of the many awesome stories that are told by the anime. Excited for y'all to start season 3!
As much as I love Karasuno and they deserve an MVP spot for this match, I would honestly give the spot to Iwaizumi. His spikes, his insane recieves, his crazy pick up of Yamaguchi's float - that man was a beast this ep 🔥
To me, the most impressive play in this entire *game*, much less this episode, is Oikawa's ultra set. Theres so many crazy moments in this episode, but that is the most insane
Absolutely brilliant and entertaining reaction from you guys which made me smile all the way through, for the mvp section id like to add a suggestion that if the winner of mvp is a kurasano player you add a best opponent player as a shout out like iwazumi or in my opinion oikawa for this game for example, hope you see this and up to you at end of the day lol
Don´t know if you get that the last "attack" was the exact same as the last one in the last match against Seijou, but this time Hinata had his eyes open.
cant wait for the reaction of this episode so i just buy the patreon membership 😂 totally worth it
That was so incredibly HYPEEEEEEEE!
SPOILERS for the Ep under here, heads up
----
21:36 There's another YT channel, Harsh Reviews, that I think put that moment perfectly: In S1, Oikawa lost by winning, but in S2, he won by losing.
In S1, even though they beat Karasuno, he already admits defeat in his head, going, "Someday you'll surpass me, Tobio". But in S2, despite having probably the low point of their rivalry up til now (with Kageyama surprising them with a setter dump he couldn't save), he goes "I refuse to lose". And he has that whole speech about how, no matter what happens in that match, he's gonna keep going. No matter how long it takes, he commits himself to reaching the level of the 'geniuses' like Kageyama and Ushijima that he hates so much.
My opinion is that the cross-court set is so huge because the Oikawa from S1? Wouldn't have attempted that. He would've tried to save it one-handed, keep it in play, whatever. But the Oikawa who has crossed that threshold and is now galvanized (rather than frustrated) by facing a powerful opponent, has that "No,. I'm making this happen" mentality, and that's when he points to Iwaizumi like,
"Hey. Ace. Get ready." And if you watch it back, you can see even Iwaizumi is even shocked by it a little bit.
Legit? Seeing him go for that insane play, and the way they animate him slipping, desperate to get up and get back into the game even afterwards? One of my all-time fave Haikyuu moments.
It's interesting that you said you don't see a lot of people talk about Oikawa and Iwaizumi. Back in 2016 (?) when season 2 aired (and also during season 1) those two were probably the fan favorite non Karasuno characters and even very high regared compared to Karasuno. This fandom truly loves their characters, and those two have been very much appreciated, as they deserve. Together with the rest of Seijoh, the amount of love Makki and Mattsun (the other two third years) got compared to their screen time is actually (positively) ridiculous :D
It's just that we've got so many cool new characters to talk about and love all the time 😅
I'm happy with both Hinata and Kageyama as MVP, it was absolutely their combined effort, but I personally lean towards Kageyama. When Hinata bumped into him to block the ball, Kageyama already was in the right place to block. And the last set to HInata wasn't as flashy as the spike itself, but it was perfect (again). AND I feel that it's important to notice how calm and concetrated he stayed although he battled Oikawa, which just shows so much growth compapred to their last match
Sidenot: I cannot wait for you guys to start liking Shiratorizawa 👀 Ushiwaka is actually one of my favorite characters 🤣
LMAO when you know you messed up and you're quiet
BY FAR one of the most important decisions was taking iwaizumi out on those last plays. Man was on a loch in. Haikyuu is art.
The keyboard 😂😂😂 MVP for me is Oikawa san btw!
"I think I have to get involved"
"SUB ME ON" Now imagine Angelo playing alongside with Tanaka 🤣🤣🤣 your reaction from 10:40 is hilarious to me and I love it!! Also I think I am deaf now but I'm not complaining 🤣 (didn't take the warning srsly).
"Talent is something you make bloom, Instincts is something you polish" Oikawa with that perfect long set for Iwazumi, him crashing down and then getting up immediately and his trust in Iwazumi in that moment is one of my favorites Haikyuu moments, what a perfect duo.
And the next match is gonna have so many property destroying moments for you!!! From every aingle character honestly.
On my deathbed, I will tell my family that I could've spent more time with them if I hadn't watched this show.
Literally taking life out of me
Seriously, this episode is one of the most hype episodes in the season. That was a lot of screaming from everyone hahaha Also I don't think I've ever seen Carlie grab Ange's shirt so much before! XD
loved this reaction
5:22 "Not the banana milkshake." Why is that such an accurate description of Mad Dog's serve? 😭😭😭
Bro’s entire life flashed before his eyes when he heard her voice: “what have you done”
Oikawa MVP..
I really enjoyed the video! Kinda disappointed that there was no discussion part about the flashback of Oikawa, the scene isn't included in the video, but his old coach, giving him a speech about reaching your potential/not giving up because you aren't a genius is very interesting from a sporting perspective. Regardless, I enjoyed the video :)
you guys have the best fuckin reactions fr. Even I got hyped despite having watched this show numerous times
wait till u see their s3 reactions lol
