I think Kenma, as an analytical person thinks it's impossible for him to feel the excitement and reckless desire like Tora and Hinata. I like how he look at things he doesn't understand or people who are so different then him and think this is something admirable and interesting. As a video gamer he looks at "guts" as an "ultimate move", he really values it even more then strategy or skill. I think that's the cutest thing.
Wait for Karasuno vs nekoma in season 5 you will be shocked
Coach donny: Man this scene would be so much better if I could see who was talking and who he's talking about!
Anime: Literally zooms in on tora and kenma's face
sigh.....he misses so many obvious things it's mind-boggling.
@@Vendrix86 Yea but that doesn't make him any less of a person (Not that you said that). He seems to be getting on in life pretty well by using what he has.
@@Vendrix86 to be fair he's trying to be entertaining while watching, plus he really isn't used to watching subbed anime.
@@alex222333ful he's 4 seasons in. I don't blame him because he has a lot to think about but that's not an excuse.
It's easy to forget since we're used to it, but visual cues like that don't go over too well if you're watching a medium you're unfamiliar with. Coach Donny isn't a total normie who doesn't know a thing about anime, but he's not an avid watcher either. Understandably, things like this would be lost on him. It's probably difficult for him to just distinguish between voices. I know that sounds silly, but I guarantee you're forgetting what your early experiences watching subs were like. My mom struggles with the same thing whenever she tries to watch along with a show me and my brother are watching.
I believe Kenma's reverence for Hinata comes originally from his fast quick which reminded him of a move from a video game it was so ridiculous; even though the rest of Hinata's fundamentals were lacking he could change the game with that one move. Secondly, after the training camp, Hinata's rapid evolution and improvement in all aspects of his game makes Kenma think of him as someone who's not going to stop moving until they are the best (like a video game character, someone unrealistic), and that he has to keep up with him and come up with a strategy to beat him at the same time. Kenma is the most observant player on the court, so it's blinding how fast Hinata is improving because he's seen such dramatic changes in the course of one year, so he thinks of him as a Final Boss, like he's someone from a video game. This also reaches to the rest of Karasuno, Kenma sees them all as ridiculous team that never stops being aggressive even when they're exhausted, and improves at a fast rate as well.
Also consider: after Hinata was shut down by Inuoka, a normal 1st year rookie would’ve given up, but not Hinata. He was EXCITED to overcome that wall. This also adds to Hinata’s videogame-like-ness
The one thinking at 27:10 is Tora, you were right! Because Kenma isn't as invested in volleyball, he doesn't quite think of himself as equal to the rest of the team in regards to, in this case, "guts" - he thinks it's something beyond him. Tora, however, disagrees and stresses how Kenma always sees things through till the end, which he thinks is also a way of "showing guts" (he probably came to understand and value it after getting to know Kenma).
Not quite sure if you caught it or not, but the surprise at Kenma's last toss and Fukunaga's "oh" is because the pass was off, and yet Kenma made the effort and jumped to set the ball as perfectly as he could despite his fatigue - Fukunaga was really moved by that :"D
Really glad that you enjoyed this match and the themes it encompassed so much - makes me even more excited for the content to come, because Haikyuu just keeps getting deeper and deeper, more thought-provoking with each game.
I think they explained earlier in the season that they use
A-pass to refer to passes that go right on top of the position of the setter, so he doesn't have to move too much to set
B-pass to refer to passes that are around the 3 meter line, so the setter has to move a little to set
C-pass to refer to passes that are completely out of system
My high schools libero was really good at getting thos A passes. He reminded me a lot of Yaku when I watched him play(I had already read the manga and seen the first 2 seasons of Haikyuu by then)cause his positioning was almost always spot on.
If it helps: the current tournament bracket has Nekoma advance to the next round, waiting for the winner of Karasuno vs Inarizaki. Inarizaki having finished 2nd at the previous Nationals was seeded in, and their match vs Karasuno in round 2 is their first match in this tournament.
Pretty sure coach knew that
@@azrielackerman4659 I wouldn't be surprised of anything tbh
@@dvsavocs5290 it gets pretty confudsing to keep track of the sets and standings, especially if you watch one ep per week like the coach does. So I’m sure he appreciates a little summary where we at
@@azrielackerman4659 turns out he didn't haha he thought they were playing fukurodani next
@@ThePlishPlosh bro that comment was a month ago 💀 also there's such a thing as forgetting you know
Definitely relate to feeling responsibility and getting more motivated when someone around you tries hard. I'm not an athlete, but I've experienced it a couple times at uni, where we'd have this rare prof who'd be very respectful to the students, going out of his/her way to make the classes interesting - and in this case even if I weren't as interested in the subject, I'd still put in way more effort than usual and do my best to score well just to kind of "pay back" the prof for their hard work. The same applies to classmates - even though studying isn't a team sport, on rare occasions we get ready for tests together, and I really wish there was someone as passionate about the subject as I am, cause I can tell that others aren't. Even though I don't have a competitive mindset or a passion to rival those of Kageyama and Hinata (so I can't say I relate to them well), in those moments I understand just how precious and insanely motivating that kind of partnership when both of you are just crazy about something can be.
I can relate with what you said. One moment when a I feel the sense of duty is on the college library. When I see so many people concentrated and studying hard it make me feel motivated to do the same.
Coach: His facial expressions are pretty funny
Shohei Fukunaga: but i dont do facial expressions.. This is just my normal face.......
this is why fukunaga become a comedian hahaha
I think Kenma's fascination of Hinata comes from his gamer's attitude. As a gamer he sees and analyzes his opponent's mechanics and tries to shut it down and outplay them. But in case of Hinata, every time Kenma found a way to stop Hinata's "mechanics", Hinata can overcome this and create another mechanics that will become a challenge to Kenma and so the loop goes on. Though this is my own interpretation of Kenma's remark as Hinata being a "super boss."
hahaha yes!! hinata is constantly evolving and getting better. Everytime kenma might thinks he already got him figured out, Hinata brings another challenge for him to conquer.
I’m led to remember that diagram Kenma has of Hinata where both Hinata’s legs and his head were labeled something to the effect of “unknown/unpredictable” which for some reason is extremely funny.
Fukunaga eye's sparkling, and then he says "Oh." on that last whip of a hit! Holy he is so funny easily my favorite character
One of my favorite quotes from this season was when Kuroo says, "Looks like their plan was to tire out Kenma. Too bad we're Nekoma. We'll just get used to it". Which is cool because that is exactly Nekoma's play style. They have great defense, and adjust to what their opponents do in order to win.
It's nice the show has someone like kenma among others to balance things out between the people who are real serious about the sport and the others who just kinda play it because why not. Part of what made this show relatable for me and more enjoyable
Manga spoilers///
I think his and Hirugami from Kamomedai's mini-arcs are just very well-written and add so much more depth and reality to the story. Not everyone who plays the sport loves it passionately, and they don't have to. And ppl can have very different motivations or ways to motivate themselves, and each of those is valid. But you don't see this side of sports very often in stories, and even when it's there it's often not in a positive/neutral light. So I really appreciate how it's shown in Haikyuu.
@@milkntomatoes9418 Been a while since i had read the manga but its impressive to me how furudate was able to give us all these different perspectives in the story and how their story arcs were done. Pretty much agree with everything you said
If I recall correctly, during their training arc together in season 2 (training camp), Kenma hinted at his fascination towards Hinata by saying something like "Shoyo always tries something new", and I feel like that's what makes him feel excited about the thought of playing him, perhaps because as a gamer he loves that extra-challenge to spark his excitement towards the game. Kuroo even asked Kenma if he'd feel more motivated if he played in the same team as Hinata, and Kenma said he'd never be able to, because he simply wouldn't be able to keep up with Hinata's demands, to which Kuroo replied that perhaps it was better if he remained a rival then. I absolutely love the relationship between Kenma and Hinata: they're total opposites in so many ways, and yet they became friends, and they both manage to keep challenging each other to grow.
The "Oh" that made the entire fanbase lose it laughing. Sends me into gigglefits every time due to how deadpan Fukunaga normally is.
Kenma cursing gravity is so relatable in basically any sport and I love it
I see what you mean about Kenma-Tora reminding you of Kageyama-Hinata! they actually remind me of the Kunimi-Kageyama conflict too. you might not remember Kunimi by name, but he's Kageyama's teammate from middle school who is now playing on Seijoh with Oikawa. Kunimi was the guy who was putting in low effort most of the time, but toward the end of the game, he worked harder because he had the most energy left. Kageyama hated him for not trying hard enough, but imo they just have different life/game philosophies.
There are 2 moments in this episode that I love.
The first is where Sarukawa Tech comes to the collective realization that they thought the game was moving at their pace, but in actuality, Nekoma have been the ones in control the whole time despite appearances.
The second is where Kenma takes the extra step on the last point, showcasing his growth as a player.
1:34 ..i got chills watching coach's back row spike and next the straight down spike. 🥶
Great reaction! The final scene that you kind of skipped over was meant to show that Nekoma already won their match for the round, meaning that if Karasuno manages to get the win against Inarizaki, they will play each other at nationals!
The best thing about the dichotomy between Kenma and Tora is how they dyed their hair, Tora dyes it blonde in the middle, while Kenma dies the roots. It's nice allegory to the idea that while they are quite different, together they are stronger as they fill in each others gaps.
It's also established in the flashbacks that they don't die their hair until they actually become friends, and Tora who see's Kenma as a friend first also dies his hair first.
14:19 yess coach, his eyes are always wide open like that! haha
His design was inspired in that golden japanese cat, Manekineko, thats way hes almost always with his two hands up
It's the whole Sarukawa team saying "crush him" in unison in their heads
Lmao “Eat a banana” love the thumbnail btw!! 🍌 I would totally say this is part of Kenma’s arc! So happy you enjoyed it just as much as I did.
Kenma is the embodiment of, the last adjustment. He will always be the last second chooser, waiting for them to choose first
Also think that Kenma’s strategy to throw off the blockers is based around the fact that Nekoma realizes they are trying to tire out Kenma. Since Sarukawa “smelled blood” they think they’re close and believe that Kenma is at his limit, however Kenma is smart enough to abuse that by making Sarukawa believe that he will go for the easy set like Kuroo or Lev because the receive is off, but instead set to the opposite after luring them in.
What I love about Round 2 of the spring tournament is that Nekoma and Kurasuno are having their own mirror matches - defence vs defence, aggressive vs aggressive
When I realised this, I thought dang, Furudate-sensei showing off his writing skills haha XD
Appreciate it coach watching these early 🥳 patreon hype !
30:44 This part was cut off but in the manga Kenma also response to Fukunaga with a similar-sounding pun in this scene (which I forgot as I couldn't remember the spelling). The other members are perplexed, "Did he just use Fukulanguage?"
27:07 Anytime the camera is focusing on a character with someone monologing in the background, it means that the person being focused on is talking or being talked about. I don't blame you for not knowing who's talking because that's a very anime-related thing that shouldn't be expected to translate over to a non-anime watcher.
I was confused about the passes for a while so I looked it up. Apparently it is a bit different depending what country but it refers to the quality of the passes towards the setter.
A 3 or C-pass is a pass that is off the net and the setter has to move far to get it, limiting their options usually to wherever they’re facing.
A 2 or a B-pass is a slightly better pass but the setter still has to adjust to get under it and does not have every option.
A 1 or an A-pass is a perfect pass where a setter does not have to adjust much and can set all their options.
Basically Nekoma has been "babying" their setter Kenma by giving him A passes as much as possible so he has to move very little in their game. Saruwaka's goal is to lower the quality of Nekoma's passes to a B or C in order to have Kenma run around as far as possible so he gets exhausted, while also limiting his setting options and making him predictable.
And Coach, in that scene it was definitely Tora talking about Kenma. Normally they zoom in on the person talking, and that person will be looking at the one he is talking avout
The thing is that Kenma not having "guts" for 4 seasons finally developed them and jumped for the first time to serve a ball. That was why everyone was looking shocked before the epic sweat scene
24:10 For me, Tora and Kenma reflect HInata and Tsukki more than that of Hinata and Kageyama. Tsukki is always analytic and refuse to waste his energy. In reference with training camp arc, Tsukki somehow relates to Kenma when Kuro and Bokuto keep asking for more sets from him.
In case you're having trouble with anime inner monologues, look at the scene framing and see who the show's highlighting (Tora), and also in this case see who/where Tora's looking at to know who Tora's monologuing about (Kenma). Hopefully this helps if you can't recognize the character's voice. It's usually the spotlighted character
The shocking part of that last point was that ordinarily, Kenma would not take that extra step to get under that ball. The fact that he did was incredible to everyone else.
This is what i mean when i say, if you have started to play mind games with kenma, you have already lost the game before you know it
I don't know if couch realised this or not but there standings were showing that if Karasuno wins this match then the next match is going to be Nekoma vs Karasuno.
IDk if the couch noticed it but the armchair might have
When camera focuses on one character and there's background monologue - its either who's on the screen talking or someone is talking about that character on the screen. Thought it was obvious, but apparently not. Mb it's some anime specific thing
25:24 had me in stitches😂😂😂The last sweet(pink packaging) 信長のえびしょっぱい= "highly/real salty shrimp" flavor pie that has the appearance of a rice cracker (senbei). It does contain peanuts and shrimp (for those with food allergies).👍
Thanks for the description! It was all yummy
@@elevateyourselftrainingvid2697 It's difficult to make out but the gold strip on the upper right says something about red wine, so I guess this one must have some sort of wine flavor added.
The people saying "Crush him" in that scene if you are still wondering are the Sarukawa players and the coach. They are so focused on the game plan that has worked for them all year that they forget to adjust imo. What I have to remind myself all the time (because its High School teams in Japan) is essentially all of these teams are like the equivalent of a state champ competing at nationals. Every match is like if the best team from Nebraska was playing against the best team that year from Kentucky or something like that. Its why all the teams are just THAT good!
Also later in the episode the person speaking about Kenma is Tora (AKA Tenakas twin). He is saying that no matter what happened or who was watching the Kenma never quit or gave up. Even if he was last to finish in a drill, running or whatever it was, he never didn't see it through to the end. And that is why Tora thinks that Kenma does actually have guts. Even if Kenma doesn't think that he does, to Tora and the rest of his teammates, he has shown that he will work as hard as he can to see things through to the end. And thats having guts and determination.
Fukunaga's eye design is very cat-like. One of the many characterizations of the cat-like Nekoma
Bringing in Rengoku during the half-time break for "Umai" was amazing!! Hat's off to the editor 😂
Scene zooming in on Tora and showing Kenma flashbacks “who is talkin and who is he talking to” 😂😂
21:20 is my favorite dig in all of haikyuu. Glad you liked it, coach!
you didn't notice it but, Fukunaga said "nice toss, salonpas" (classic mistranslation from anime) calling Kenma a salonpas, the pain reliever
It's not a mistranslation, in the translation industry we call it a localization (and no, the example above is NOT a good one). Sometimes the client asks for those when they think something is too specific to one culture or it won't make sense simply translated and they want it to be more relatable or make more sense to a global audience. I've had to translate decent Japanese puns into tacky English dad jokes myself. Sometimes it works, sometimes it fails badly.
"I'm pretty sure nekoma is going to come up with a counter strategy"
"That's because Kenma's a gamer"
Couldn't stop giggling evil because I knew what was going to happen or rather what they were going to reveal
I got out of touch from the haikyuu fandom for like a year but then I saw your recent videos in my recommended. I feel like a wave of memories just came even if it's just a year
I don't know if coach has noticed, but in the halftime scenes the animals are the characters from the show. For instance the crows (not owls) have Haikyuu and Kageyama's haircuts and the cats have Kenma and Kuro's haircuts
Every time the editor shows the “UMAI!” GIF it makes me smile and laugh but also really sad 😭😭 iykyk
im so sorry 😭 our flame boi is the best boi
I think Coach didnt pay attention that well to this ep. Who is talking? Who is refering to? I dont konw why was so confusing for him, maybe a little pause here and there to read the whole interaction. We like your comments but sometimes it is more importante to understand what is going on in the chapter. A lot of other reactors rewatch the previous episode before going on the next one so they have everything fresh.
Coach Donny, I cannot stress enough how much your mic looks photoshopped lmao.
I love your reactions and insights, keep up the wonderful work!
Thanks for always posting entertaining and educational videos, I learned a lot just by how much in depth you go on technique, strategy, and mentality. It has really helped me towards my high school and club volleyball career. I like to call you my third coach😅
Anime Tip:
Most of us anime regulars know this already, but Coach, the face they zoom in on during the introspection is the one who's talking. Always. All the time. And if they are talking about someone they will zoom in on that persons face too.
So it was Tora talking about Kenma :)
My little brothers baseball team used to thank their supporters in the stands after every game. The team would line up facing the stands and clap and say thank you. He plays travel ball now and they don’t do it very often anymore. I wonder if it’s just something they do when the players are younger to teach them to have gratitude to the people who come and support them.
If you're wondering who's talking, it's usually the guy that's in frame longer
That teaser of the full IRL games first was so GOOD!
Need to see a season of Coach reacting to his games.
god your excitement was off the charts for these past two episodes. ive never smiled so much during your reactions! im close to finishing my rewatch of this reaction series, and i definitely forgot how much you enjoyed the nekoma episodes. great insights on sports as well!
Man Coach’s high five at 1:42 is the type of competitive energy I like
I wonder how many people know how much a mental sport volleyball is. Everyone can tell you don't worry or you can apologize all you want, but when you mess up that point, that feeling and responsibility is all on you. It's easy to say let's get the next point, but it takes a trained mind to execute that though. Even worst when people are purposely targeting yo. But it's these moments when you start practicing harder to get the next one and all that doubt goes away when your mind and body syncs to execute a great receive/set/spike. (:
Hey Coach, I don't know if you realized this but because Nekoma just won they will be playing the winner of the Karasuno x Inarizaki game.
Ahhhh this was truly one of my favorite episodes in this season and I'm so glad you enjoyed it as well. Definitely learned a lot too from your insights.
As much as I have loved this journey from watching coaches first Haikyuu video when it came out until now I have gotta say I love him having an editor (sorry I can't remember your name) from the umai, to LeBron eating burgers to my favorite which is coach getting the anime lines whenever he says a line that was just said. I just want to say that they are doing an amazing job and to keep up the great work.
thank you so much! i really appreciate the kind words 🙌😁
i envy those who haven't watched haikyuu cause i'll never get the chance to watch it for the first time ever again. Nice reaction coach!
"ok they're setting the trap for Kenma " kenma uses a trap card
22:55 Coach Donny activating his Sharingan to keep up with the subtitles from the top and bottom of the screen🤣
I think an additional idea on what the coach from nekoma is saying when he was still young is it's ok to have a repetitive moves as long as it is working. Also, I think he mean that it's better to have repetitive normal moves that just one flashy move
The last snack is Nobunaga Salty Shrimp
@GuiltyKing27 not sure why it's called that, but the kanji 信長 is the same as the nobunaga clan
Edit* The clan was Oda, Nobunaga was the given name. Toal brain fart on my part. Sorry
@@pulguinha682 If you're meaning to say Oda, Nobunaga, then sorry, but the clan name is Oda. Nobunaga is his given name. & the snack is probably in reference to Nobunaga because the company is based in Shiga Prefecture, where Nobunaga based his operations.
@@bdylp1098 oh yeah, I completely mixed that up for some reason. Not sure why I was thinking Nobunaga as the clan name.
Hi, Coach. I just want to say thank you for making my week better. I have been through a lot these recent months and your videos are some of my inspiration and encouragement to keep going.
i simply love how coach's getting so excited as the time gos by that he even has this otakus fans have when we're getting tottaly absorbed by the storytelling. love your reacts! love from brazil
Hearing the intro music start followed by the "this video is sponsored by sakuraco" is weirdly making me happy with how on-beat it is haha
In the clips you showed that one handed set was nuts. Great video!
I can't tell if Coach doesn't realise that haft time animals are meant to the players from teams or not. Also the fat birds are usually crow for Karasuno and the main one has Hinata's hair, and the cats looks like the Nekoma team.
Guts is an interesting concept, I think it not only comes from perseverance but also enjoyment. Years ago while playing football, if the ball got past the defence and was one on one with the goalkeeper I would view it as a forgone conclusion. However, I then joined a team that had just merged from 2 others to form a stronger one. I realised not only did I have to put the work in, but I actually enjoyed it, I had to work hard to get the ball because everyone was so good but I kept pushing. Eventually it got to a point where I, who used to be the slowest in the team, was faster than most people, I could cover if anyone got past. I made many important clearances and tackles, and for a while, even if it was only a season or two, I felt like the protagonist. Unfortunately, that team got low on numbers and I had to move somewhere else, now I’m no longer as motivated and REALLY slow. but I can read the play really well so I don’t have to do as much running. That last bit applies to all sports, if you can read the game well, you’ll have to do less to win, if you want to get better at this, pick a favourite team if you don’t have one already and watch all of their games, even if you don’t watch the entire thing but instead watch an extended highlights video or something, that’s fine. But remember the more you watch the more you’ll learn even if it’s subconsciously
@1:00, the lighting on the wall looks like it's highlighting the opening between the blocks
It's amazing all the new things that are coming out for Haikyuu getting another manga, season 5 being confirmed (I might be wrong but I'm pretty sure I'm right) and the season 4 dub finally being released
New manga??
what new manga??
The new manga i believe is a one shot only, i think if i'm remembering correctly its aikawa journey... Could be wrong
@@a3-radio oh okay if so I'll change the comment
If they win against Inarizaki, they will play Nekoma!! But they have to win this round first... also, I believe there is insight about what Kenma thinks about Hinata in the previous episode when the Nekoma 3rd years have a conversation in their hotel lobby. They said something to the affect of Kenma being unable to figure out Hinata yet as Hinata is such an excellent and athletic player who is always surprising others with his moves, and that motivates him in a similar way to how he becomes fixated on a video game, trying to figure out all the different levels and plays
Thanks for the video!
coach, the reason sarukawas coach aritaka didnt change the gameplan is because he is banking on a war of atrition in which he has confidence his team can at least beat kenma in stamina. He didnt feel the need to adapt especially since he couldnt know nekomas strategy. thats why instead of the match ending in a battle of concepts like most of karasunos this one ended with nekoma running a normal play and surprising the opponents. love your content keep going coach.
damnnn coachhh .. love ure workk .. keep it up .... i can confirm you're on the right track XD
I don't kmow if somebody has mentioned to you, but, all these reactions are like a TED talk in chapters. Amazing!
Let's go, a new episode!
Hi Coach, new subscriber here! Just want to say I'm glad I found your channel, I'm happy to see Haikyuu reactions from someone who truly understands volleyball. I'm so looking forward to watching your reaction for the next seasons when they're out! Especially the really exciting final arc! Your insights are very much needed and appreciated 😄
Idk about you guys, but this feels like one of coach’s best reactions. Don’t get me wrong, they’re all always good, but the usual artistic/animation insights, as well deep diving into the counter strategy Sarukawa should have used, and the philosophies of the episode have been extra intense this episode. Coach feels like a mentor and not just any reactor.
Those highlights had me hyped!
I'm not sure why, but the thumbnails always make me feel happy and laugh everytime
Hey coach just want to say love your videos and your breakdown on strategies that will work in the game as if a real game. I just graduated uni last year and I'm working now, so sports have become an afterthought for me. I used to play basketball and near where I live now there's a community that plays every week. Maybe I haven't play in a while I sucked when I joined them and haven't played since 😅. But hearing how passionate you are over haikyuu really makes me want to get active again. I miss that competitive feeling. Thanks coach!
I think the main duality shown between Tora and Kenma boils down to two different ways of thinking, both culminating in the same conclusion. Tora is all about effort, pushing yourself and "guts". While Kenma is more strategy, thinking and skill. At the end, both Kenma and Tora come to the same conclusion. You need both. Tora eventually learns to think like Kenma, is more careful with his plays, with his passing. And eventually Kenma shows guts to get the final point. Great players have both aspects, train like hell, but train with a purpose. There is no point in shooting 1000 3 pointers, if you are not correcting or improving your shooting form. There is no point theorycrafting your shoot technique, if you dont actually practice.
The “it’s lejon brames” got me dying🤣🤣🤣
You miss so much of this show it's unbelievable 😭😂
You should definitely rewatch this show, to actually experience the story. Probably with headphones too so you get to experience more of the sound and voice acting.
Like how can you enjoy the show when you rarely know who's talking lmao
@@ElevateYourselfOfficial yeah I love seeing your perspective on volleyball and strategy but damn dude a ridiculous amount of really blatant stuff goes over your head
He's focussing on making a good video and giving insightful analysis. I imagine it is incredibly difficult to take everything in while also trying to come up with interesting talking points.

Can’t wait for the videos from the VLA tournament! That rally at 1:44 was awesome, sick dig Coach!
It’s great to see the US finally start up some professional/semi-professional level leagues, and that my favourite content creator plays in them
Wow! It's the first time you posted this early 😱
Been looking forward to your videos every week since your first reaction video. Wish I had male volleyball at my high school and passionate people like you to surround myself with.
Holy cow that last block from your match teaser was sick
Just a small observation. Coach you seem to be a bit more confused in these last few episodes. I believe it’s because you no longer edit the videos yourself. Previously you’d be brought up to snuff by the next video, whereas now you continue in the confusion. It definitely adds a different vibe to the reactions.
I found it interesting how you were lost in the story (game score, person talking, etc), but was exactly where you needed to be emotionally at the crucial moments. I think that’s a testament to how integral the music and animation is to carrying this series almost as much as the writing.
nice thoughts
So in case it hasn't been said on the intermission the cat laying down is kenma and the black cat is kurro and the fat orange bird is hinata and the black bird is kageyama and also the owls are bokuto and Akaashi
Lesgooo coach, i really don't have anything to watch rn, luckily your always good video came out.
The clips of your game give me goosebumps!!! Your team is on fire🔥🔥🔥
aaahh love these small cute edits of the characters hahhha
I agree with the sense of duty towards your team mates, if not everyone is giving their all in respect of the others, then the whole team will fall into a 'what's the point then?'-state of mind and it's just so frustrating. You play the sport for yourself, but you do your best for your teammates, because they've been working hard too and deserve that.
