    Ok sooooo.... Ushijima is pretty good 👀 Does this guy EVER get stopped?? I'm having a hard time believing that he doesn't make a mistake or get dug ever. Also... this #5 is a bit much. I'm not sure about him at all.

    The show's creator, who is also the principal illustrator, was also a big horror fan. Tendou's unique character design is stylized after some other works in the horror genre (possibly a zombie show?). Also, you may recall another horror-inspired scene, the scene in Season 1 episode 11 at the short camp, at night, when Tanaka and Hinata got scared in the hallway, but it was just Noya with his hair down, and then they all got scared by Asahi with HIS hair down. ;)

    A thing to keep in mind with Tendou for future episodes is that the author of Haikyuu, Furudate Haruichi, got his start at Shonen Jump with a psychological thriller series. Occasionally he likes to let his love of the horror genre come out in moments like the scene where they mistook Nishinoya for a ghost child at the training camp. So be on the lookout for that style in the future.

    I don't know if you remember, but the Shiratorizawa team is like the Korean pro volleyball team. They focus on one player who has an outstanding physique and let that player do all the attacks. So Ushiwaka is like the foreign player that the Korean pro volleyball teams hire.

    Great to see her enjoying & getting excited about this match so much.
    Leaving my support & personal opinions about the iffy translations as usual.
    6:54 「サーブレシーブには参加せず」➔ "They don't serve or receive". This is obviously a mistranslation. It should be "Without participating in serve-receives".
    14:02「ウチの弟はねぇ、ガッカリする程冷静なんです」➔ "You see, with my brother, the more he feels let down, the calmer he gets". A more literal translation would bed be more like "You see, with my younger brother, he's calm to the degree that (you/people) would feel disappointed". They got the pronoun for the one who might be feeling "let down". Akiteru is saying that Kei is so extremely calm to the point of even being boring/disappointing, not that Kei himself becomes calmer the more he gets depressed.
    26:00「直接点になっていない攻撃も、後々、必ず効いてくる」➔"He'll eventually start to feel even the attacks that he's not making himself". This one's not as clear-cut, but this could be another case of mistaken pronouns. The wording in「点になっていない(not leading to a point)」instead of 「点に関わっていない(not involved in getting a point)」&「効いてくる(cause an effect on)」instead of 「影響してくる(to be affected)」makes it more logical to have it be more like "Even the attacks *we're* making that don't lead directly to points will, later on, start to affect him".

    As a lefty, you cannot fathom how amazed and happy I was when I saw that, Ushijima, a powerful and amazing opponent who everyone makes a big deal out of, turned out to be a lefty. I noticed it at the same time Nishinoya did. The reason this made me happy is because we lefties don't get a lot of representation in media, so when a powerful, big shot guy turns out to be left handed, it makes me overjoyed. And the fact that Haikyuu went into detail on how lefties are trouble, since they're more rare and more difficult to face for right handed people because of that, is cool as well.

    as a fellow LEFTY! LETS GO!!! I cannot help but chuckle at the fact that at the time that this show was being written, Japan's National Volleyball team has always had a big left opposite the past decade or so. From Shimizu and now to Nishida (who both wear #1) just like Ushiwaka here. Sometimes, this show and it's sense of timing is just incredible.

      I always wonder who did things first: Japanese National Players or Haikyuu characters. Like !!!!MANGA SPOILERS!!!
      fake spike on the second touch turned to set. Being dubbed "killer servers" since, I think, Yanagida. Ridiculously high jumps of Nishida. Or Japanese players venturing out to play in Europe. Hell, Ushiwaka is playing in Poland in this year's bonus chapter, and you know what? Kento Miyaura, a lefty from the Japanese national team moved to Polish PlusLiga starting this season. It's so hilarious when you think of it. Furudate inspired many kids to pick up volleyball (I saw graphs about it somewhere) so you can say they are responsible in part for creating real-life Monster Generation.

    They do indeed give backstories on Ushiwaka and Tendo as well as a little bit on Shirabu (setter) in this season. IMO, Tendo is the far more interesting character which makes his relationship with Ushiwaka even more interesting. Tendo also gives one of the best lines in all of Haikyuu.
    Speaking of songs, the overarching theme song for this season is titled "The Battle of Concepts" and is played throughout the match/sets/plays. In a series that is well-regarded for it's music, this is a standout.
    I know Sarah loves Nishinoya, but on a team like Kurasuno where it's heavily attack focused, I feel like he gets lost sometimes. When Coach Ukai says Nishinoya and Kageyama are playing as usual, he is basically saying that Nishinoya is a genius-level player on par with Kageyama. No other team that we have seen so far can say they have TWO genius-level players in their roster.
    Finally, just a little teaser to get Sarah excited about the few upcoming episodes. S3E3 shows us Tendo's "specialty" which is in stark contrast to a Karasuno player. S3Ep4 is considered to have one of the top5 moments in all of Haikyuu and is the peak of a journey that starts from almost the very beginning. S3E5 really makes it clear the difference in the teams AND individual players' philosophies, the difference in concepts if you will. S3E6 shows just how awesome Karasuno's 3rd years are.

    Lefty opposites are definitely insane. My doubles partner is my lefty opposite from back in high-school, and I love it because if I ever give him a tight pass he can just swing on it with the option. Also, Tendo's ending scene was so good. "If you wanna beat Ushiwaka, you're going to have to beat me first". I have a feeling your season 3 line up might end up changing a bit

    The funniest part about Tendou is that he's Ushijima's best friend and these two are one of the most harmonic friendships in the entirety of Haikyuu. They're very different but they respect each other and care for each other a lot.
    I myself am reserved and serious like Ushijima and I have a friend who's just as chaotic and quirky as Tendou (she's saved as "Tendo-chan" in my phone) and for some unknown reason we harmonize really well.

    I've watched Haikyuu several times and read manga, but Ushijima didn't grow on me. I understand why people like him. People quite often like "cool, strong and capable" type of characters, but I rarely do.
    You could be confident, capable and strong without judging people you have never met. He could be confident in his skill, but he judged the skill of the other player without seeing him play, and that makes him arrogant and not just confident.He also judged not only Hinata and Kageyama but their school. Which is quite an irritating part of Japanese culture. I still remember how people's behavior towards me changed, when they've found out that I've graduated from the second rated university and my friend is Tokyo University professor. I suddenly didn't need to prove my worth to them, I was from the "right school". Ushijima embodies this mindset. Status maters to him greatly. He is from quite an expensive private school. Karasuno is a state school and that is enough for him to pass judgement.
    Hinata believes that there is a chance to win and just states his dream, while Ushijima believes that he and his team can't be beaten. One is confidence and a goal, the other is arrogance. There is no such thing as "promised win" and "total superiority'. Even the most skilled players can lose. And when that happens it can be really detrimental to mental health of a player or the team.
    I would say that Kuroo is a much better example of a player that is strong and confident. He tries not to judge other players before seeing them play and probably will be much more stable mentally in a case of a loss. He knows he's good, but never assumes that others are not.
