Hey hey hey
For anyone wondering if they should read the manga - YES. DO IT. Furudate is phenomenal in every way, and the upcoming movies won't do the story justice pacing-wise.
I loved that, after many years, I finally saw a GOOD ending and climax for a great manga. Furudate is a great writer.
I’m still watch it regardless lol
Tru
Not even just pacing, but the story. Nothing is going to happen in these movies. So much will be left out that they’ll just feel like cheap highlight reels
I second this. The anime may never show all of the incredible games seen in the manga, but even show they do so, it's not necessary to feel the goosebumps, chills and raw emotion when reading the manga. 👍
Both Bokuto and Nishinoya had a very profound impact on how I look at my hobbies and my work.
Whenever I'm up against a wall, I just think to myself "If I get good enough, I'll be able to enjoy the challange of this instead of dreading that one might appear at any second". I had this fresh perspective on problems because of Bokuto. His quote "Think about what's fun, not what's easy" is probably something that I'm gonna remember for the rest of my life.
In a similar way, Nishinoya has inspired me to try out more and more things out of my comfort zone, because it'd be a shame to pass up the opportunity to do something new!
Dude, you sound freaking cool…
Weird how Noya and Bokuto are actually weirdly nearly as wise as Kita..
@@MRCY223 agree!! also, those cool lines are quoted from haikyuu manga+anime hehehe
same here!! what kageyama's grandpa said also left a huge impression on me.
"and when you're good enough, somebody even better will find you!"
what's even better than enjoying and having fun at the thing you're good at? to have a friend+rival in that monstrous journey with you!!!!
"World, cheer me on!" I get goosebump everytime I see this line
Some bonus Japanese trivia and an extra reason to love Bokuto’s “think fun, not easy” philosophy: in Japanese “easy” is “raku” 楽、while “fun” is “tanoshii”, which is written using the very same kanji 楽しい。So it just looks extra neat and feels extra touching in Japanese. Furudate spoke on a number of occasions about how they try to keep the lines relatively simple, and I feel like this is one of the prime examples of when this simplicity brings out Haikyuu’s and Bokuto’s charm and makes a yet another lasting impression.
I love your Twitter!
@Kruy Shes in every Haikyuu video comment section!
@Kruy I use it for longer translations that I can't upload on twitter~
This is perfect, considering Bokuto best exemplifies that philosophy.
@@wtbskilllololo kseniya is my megami-sama 😭🙌💖 haikyuu fandom life wouldn't be the same without her!! 🔥🔥🔥
Fukurodani is so interesting and empowering as a team. They would do anything for their ace, and they are not bound by his insufficiencies. It's such a beautiful connection.
Also Akaashi
The way he says
"then come to the spring tourney and get one"
To hinata was so badass
I remember when I desperately wanted that finisher shirt that my friend got after he finished marathon. In that time, I can only do 10km. He said that its more memorable if I get my own shirt after I finish it.. And he was right.. i got it, and that was really awesome. Although I think I walk like a zombie after my first try…😅
One of the goats of Haikyuu.
On a emotional level, he is as smart as Hinata and able to see things others can't.
His hot and cold personality when playing is actually real. He feels so realistic when he is playing that it hits close to home.
Bokuto is the character best suited to make it professionally out of literally everyone in the series.
Next to Oikawa in my opinion.
Bokuto impersonates both Haikyuu and Blue Lock values at the same time. He is the star taking the risk in the decisive moment, while still being a team player who cares about his team mates. My favourite character!
A lot less selfish than anyone in Blue Lock. IMO.
@@contemptman3646 definitely
i'd argue if anything, hinata and kageyama both represented more of the values of blue lock at the beginning, but we know more than anything that's also misleading due to their backstories being shedded
I'm so glad that you talk about his wisdom, because it's very true. He is one of the most mature and wisest characters in Haikyuu, even if he isn't booksmart and even if he is silly. You can't inspire others in the way he does mindlessly. The conversation with Yachi you brought up is one of my favourites, as he tells her to look how strong they've become.
This is so beautifully articulated, and completely explains the uniqueness that I've always felt Bokuto and Fukurodani had compared to the other teams. It's a brilliant reminder of how Fukurodani is not dependent on Bokuto the way Shiratorizawa depends on Ushiwaka and I love how you made the connection of how that plays into Bokuto's character and personality. Many, many thanks for making this video.
My pleasure, thank you for the kind words!
What always amazing me about Haikyuu is the portrayal of they characters in different state of mind from some that are still growing mentally like Kageyama, Hinata, and Tsukishima. To someone reaching the finishing line like Atsumu and Bokuto. Than, to someone that already past the finishing line like Nishinoya, Daichi and Kita. the fact that each character has different journey ahead even though, the are at the same line make Haikyuu amazing.
If they don't animate the Mujinazaka v. Fukurodani match I riot. I need my boy Bokuto on the big screen
I honestly don't think they would add it in the movies,Maybe an OVA?
"I'm just a normal Ace" is still one of my favorite moments ever, I get teary eyed thinking about it
And that unleashed how dangerous and great of a player he really is. Like he's been constrained all along to chase top player status
I want to thank you for all of your analyses, and especially for your Haikyuu! library. It’s a story with a heartbeat- a pulse infused with a simple, beautiful, and infectious passion- and you seize it every single time.
Your essays prompt me to think and feel the same way these characters do, and for that reason, I relish each rewatch and anticipate every addition. Thank you so very much for sharing!
My pleasure, you’re very welcome! I adore making these so it’s great to see that others enjoy so much as well!
Bokuto is such a force of nature like his mental game is out of this world and you really get to understan why is such an inspiration to others.
bokuto's idea of "i want to be someone who makes my team proud, who isn't a burden" really resonates with the comment during the training camp of him being "the baby of the family" to me, idk. great video!
I wish I had someone like Bokuto as a friend.
Haikyuu and the wisdom Furudate put in it is always at the back of my mind. It's one of my most influential stories. Thank you for this video
My pleasure!
Amazing video!! Bokutos character arc and characterization is just so fulfilling. All of his quotes, endless exuberance, and passion for his teammates makes him just as endearing as Hinata. Awesome analysis and his line of look at how far we’ve come will never not make me tear up.
Thanks very much!
bokuto is the character I love the most, not only in haikyuu but in general, the most inspiring and admirable for me.
I wish I could press the button like a thousand times, it brought tears to my eyes in some parts🥺amazing video.
Thank you!
I'm a big believer that Furudate had at least a little bit of influence from the philosophy of Stoicism (not the modern youtube kind, but like the Seneca, Marcus Aurelius, Epictetus kind). The more I read about the philosophy, the more I see little pieces of info where I'm like "hey, didn't I already read about this in Haikyuu?"
No character in Haikyuu supports this idea more than Kita. Where for him, his own virtue is his reward, he does good because it "just feels good." He is the embodiment of the four cardinals; Wisdom, Justice, Courage, and Temperance. But this video's about Bokuto so I'm gonna stop talking about Kita.
Bokuto's philosophy of "think what's fun, not what's easy" reminds me of Hercules at the crossroads. Where on his path he comes to a crossroad, two choices. One of vice, and of virtue, however both lead to the same destination of success. He can choose to take the easy route and be successful without putting in the work. Or he can put in the hard work, he can struggle and fight and do all the things most people wouldn't consider doing if given an alternative. But he chose virtue regardless, and his godliness was warranted, he *deserved* it now.
(p.s. I only know vaguely about the crossroads so if anyone is a Greek mythos buff feel free to elaborate on it or even correct me if I got something wrong)
I'd absolutely love to see videos relating Haikyuu to the ideas of Epictetus, Marcus and Seneca.
It may not be related, but I believe Kita’s focus on being built from
His daily routine, and the results being a byproduct could be derived from Aristotle
@@smithexotic9664 Could be, that's why I love haikyuu, almost anything in the series could be related back to some sort of philosopher if you think hard enough
There is nothing more inspiring than a Haikyuu character analysis. Love you man, great video
Thank you!
these analyses are so relaxing, and something about the rhythm of your speech honestly makes it feel like poetry to me
Thank you!
So true
I love how Bokuto's motto goes from : I wanna play volleyball and have tonnes of fun to "We will win them all" when he realises the team will be splitting up after the nationals.
Fantastic video. Im Glad to see a video on bokuto. He doesn't have much screen time but he's a great character
Appreciated!
OOH nailed it again!! Bokuto is one my favorite characters or i guess everyone loves Bokuto. But that scene with Tsuki in particular is one of my most epic scenes even though he starts it kind of casually but the anime at least nails such a motivational monologues of Bokuto! the thrill of the challenge ahead and not just thinking for the furture and giving it your 120%
So I don't think I've left a comment on one of your videos before, but I literally love your analyses of media so much. I was so excited to see that you'd made a Bokuto video, since he's a character which I feel like people only appreciate on a surface level, so I love this in depth look into his character. Thank you so much for your vids, and keep doing what you're doing!!
You’re very welcome, hope you continue to enjoy them! Thanks for commenting :)
YES! I've been waiting for a bokuto analysis since the miya atsumu video. I don't even need to watch it; I know it's already good
a part of me always breaks whenever I see the "loneliness of monsters" conveyed in any story. people think the only hard part is when you suck at something but few understand that when you reach a certain level or have talent, you end up alone for long stretches of time because simply, no one can keep up yet. the feeling of that crossroad is not an easy thing to experience, let alone get through.
I absolutely loved this video!! Thank you so much! Bokuto is a favorite of mine for all the reasons you've numbered and more! I did notice it when he said "only recently" and I was suprised, but then I remembered, he's been to the National's, he's lost big games, and like Hinata after him, he rose from his 'ashes' with an even greater hunger for victory. Perhaps that's when his passion for Volleyball trully awoke. Magnificent character. Far more developped than even Kageyama! All of Haikyuu!! (Hinata Shoyo especially) made me realize how much I need to keep fighting for what I love to do. I'm off to watch more of your amazing videos. Thank you for sharing your love for this series with us. ♥
Glad you enjoyed, hopefully you like the other videos you check out as well!
I appreciate your skill of reading in to these characters and stories so thoroughly since I'm not good at it myself. I feel like I've gotten much wiser after watching these videos. So.. thank you!
Of course, glad you find these valuable!
He’s like the rengoku of haikyuu
Yet another Haikyu Masterpiece from AJ❤️
I shed actual tears watching this 😭 bokuto always has a special place in hearts of many and this video is the perfect sum as to why 🖤🤍 good work man
These videos helps me move forward in my sport and beat the odds
Bokuto is my fave character in HQ, and one of my fave characters of all time, from anything. You perfectly explained why in this video. Thank you!
You’re very welcome!
Waited years but finally my fave character 🤗
What a great leader man what a team!
I've been away from this channel for sometime, I'm glad coming back I got to see this video. I have always wanted one by you about this lovable owl and I'm happy to see it!
I see a new video. I SPIKE!!!!( sorry for bad pun :3).
It's always enjoyable seeing you bring out new videos. Keep up the good work man.
He's the greatest.
This will stay on the watch later until I have finished reading Haikyuu!!. I know it will be great regardless.
"Loneliness of the Monster" . Nice course!!
i miss haikyuu so so muchhh
He is my favorite haikyuu character and im SO happy that u made this video🥺🥺❤️❤️
Glad you enjoyed!
Many thanks for making this Video.
My pleasure!
Excellent video, I love Bokuto. I missed it first time around so I'm glad it popped up in my recommended.
Thanks!
I feel like Bokuto and Asahi’s development paralleled Bokuto getting over his yips becoming a reliable ace to make himself not a burden and Asahi had to stop carrying the teams burden and allowing them to help him.
He has one of my favorite dub voices in anime
His emotional lines just hit different. Him and Ukai's monologues are easily the best two speeches in the entirety of Haikyuu.
Just when i thought i couldn't love this character more, this video pops up ❤
Bokuto is that one friend who we need
FINALLY! I've been waiting for this video since I first learned about your channel!
Great work as usual Alex
no exaggeration, you are my favorite channel on RUclips, keep it up!
That’s awesome to hear, I’ll try my best!
Its always a good day when aleczandxr posts a video. I would love to see your takes on blue lock characters!!
I won’t be making videos on Blue Lock characters but I’m definitely enjoying the anime so far, lots of fun!
This is one series where I find it hard to choose a favorite character. But Bokuto may change that.
The Owl one of the best sleeper characters in the show.
First manga I've ever read. And I'm so glad I did!
YEAH YEAH YEAH whether he's down and depressed or hyped to the max always something you can learn from him lol
Bokuto's shift to just being "a regular ace" instead of the tol ace, just unleashed the most dangerous monster in him
What do you mean Fukurodani's defeat in the finals? They obviously won 3-1 and he still learned a lot from it. COPIUM
ok so bokuto his high school volleyball version of luffy and that's why i love him so much. heard
I was just wondering about how bokuto tried to be a normal guy in the debut of hinata after brazil and now there is a new bokuto video for me to watch on repeat for the next week
Can't watch this because I haven't read the manga, thank you for the spoiler warning!
Of course!
HEY HEY HEY!! THAT'S MY BOY. A menace specially when he's on the groove!
Hey hey hey, easily my favorite guy. Him playing with Hinata is a dream match I need animated.
Great video. I wonder how good would be a Blue Lock video made by you
Thanks!
I looooove himmmmmm
Thank you for the video.
You’re welcome!
beautifully made video
Thanks!
i love bokuto so much
I am back! I read the manga and now can watch this!
10:45 this panel was both beautiful and bittersweet. Beautiful as you can see the appreciation this man has for his teammates.
But bittersweet as you know that he has grown and is taking off as player. He will now put the burden of his team on himself, whether it was justified of not.
Is it worth reading the manga? I heard that the adaptation will be rushed.
YES. Do it, Furudate is phenomenal in every way.
Yes!
YES, YES and YES to infinite.
Thank you, I will read it
Stay strong. We must be better.
eventually when I do a haikyu re read I’m re watch these vids just to enhance the experience
Bokuto and Akashi is the one true ship in Haikyuu, don't @ me
Oikawa and Iwaizumi say hello.
I always wanted to see bokuto vs tendo
Please do more videos on haikyu love them!
Glad you enjoy them! I’ve already made 15, check them all out! :)
Pre like for my boiis aj and bokuto 😁😍😍
Not sure if you're reading or watching it, but I think you'd have some great material in Blue Lock
I do watch Blue Lock. I’d recommend following my Twitter and checking my MAL, I always update about Blue Lock on both! I also talk about it in my Twitch streams.
To be honest, for me, I never saw the reason why haikyuu characters says his mindset is "difficult to understand." I'm more like Akaashi in the sense that I absolutely understand how his mind works and how he thinks differently, although I'm not someone who'd actually do something.
Can other people please explain? Why do some characters think his mindset isn't normal?
HEY HEY HEYYY 🦉
HEY HEY HEYYY
@Aleczandxr do you watch Ace of Diamond?
I’ve seen the first season.
Why am I just seeing this in my recommendations?
The algorithm giveth and taketh away
3:16 Did I just get spoiled....
MY DUDE THERE IS A SPOILER WARNING RIGHT AT THE BEGINNING OF THE VIDEO
@@Aleczandxr Yea, that's my fault I wasn't paying attention at the beginning. Sorry.
thoughts on blue lock do you think it can be next haikyuu?
No, but I don’t think it’s trying to be the next Haikyuu
I thought this was about boruto
He is honestly a better character than Hinata.

HEY HEY HEY
