So...your recommendations have been filled with volleyball athletes watching Haikyuu lately, too, huh?
Coach donny is my go to
Yes
Been watching coach Donny so ofc
Yup
yup and i dont mind it
You liars! Where is Hinata’s epic face receive.
he def missed this one
I should not of laughed at this as much as I did
Also just for fun I feel like they should've showed when Hinata did a serve and served it into the back of Kageyama's head
✨Iconic ✨
quick attack*
They were laughing at rolling thunder because he calls it that and yells it when doing it
Oh I thought they were just mocking him for yelling idk 😂
@@ohtheboysaslagAM yelling and the fact that the name is rather silly
ksksksk yaa
@@barneystinson2781 oh that’s understandable 😂✨
I like his “Rolling Thunder”
The play where Hinata jumped off the wall was legal because his contact with the ball was completed before he made contact with the wall.
Yeah, he was just using the wall to rebound HIMSELF after hitting the ball.

Yea
Tsukki's block was not only a gamechanger but a very emotional moment, not just for me but probably for the whole fandom.
I literally cried bro
@@litham8048 I'm tearing up every freaking time i see it! and you can actually see that it was a moment when tsukki actually got hooked on volleyball!
I had goosebumps and a big smile on my face when it happened just like 😃😃 lol
Heck yeah, I cried for real and spent 3 days smiling everytime that moment crossed my mind.
Very true. I litteraly started crying of happiness and I was just so proud of him-
Thanks Coach Donny for inspiring a new generation of Volleyball players to react to Haikyuu episodes!
yeh
Yes
yessssss
Thas not coach Donny my guy
@@peterwagner958 different coach bro the name is in the front people aren't that stupid -_-
1:55 imagine watching a real volleyball game and just hearing some one start yelling "rolling thunder"
@AriBari 2.0 hell yes
@itsmeee𝕒𝕣𝕚 I WOULD DO THAT TOO NGL-
i would bust out laughing
tbh I would be one- when I get better
honestly I would probably be the one yelling it just for the reactions. thats if I could still play volleyball but ankle and leg injuries tend to pile up after a while.
They aren't laughing at the rolling receive, they're laughing at how nishinoya yells and all as if it was his unique special technique
OK, this mans is actually a complete beast. I mean his highlights that they clips to are absolutely insane. You just earned yourself an 18 yr old male volleyball simp!
Erik Shoji has his own volleybal channel too, if you want to see more.
I knew he played on the national team, but was surprised to learn that he is considered among the best in the world. And then I was really surprised to learn Dave Shoji is his dad, so growing up in that house must have been awesome
When my boy came in with that float serve and made 5 point omg😭 I was so proud of him!!!!
he's my favorite character and I almost cried when he did that😭🥺
I love how he smiles as soon as they called Libero the "Guardian God". He felt so SO proud.
Haikyuu always impressed me with the amount of in depth detail and fine tuned technique they use. Sometimes they don't even explain it, it's just there in the show and I look it up and it's real. Even the jargon.
I watched a real lawyer react to ace attorney and it was... A very different outcome haha
From what I understand, the mangaka played volleyball himself in high school.
Its interesting how this show encapsulates true volleyball so well, its like how Sekiro encapsulates true Shogan swordsmanship so well. I love finding media that even though its embellished, it is still true to life in the ways that matter
Volleyball player reacts to haikyuu.
Volleyball Coach reacts to haikyuu.
Volleyball olympic athlete reacts to haikyuu.
I'm waiting on the final addition to the series, FIVB international level volleyball referee reacts to haikyuu.
It's a shame that volleyball isn't loved more by the us. It's more entertaining than baseball and hockey.
that is 100% not true but u do you
I like them all but i cant follow hockey as well
@@tars-fk3fm yes but the commenter says it like its absolute (both of them)
Basketball
I don’t think Volleyball translated well to TV. Those insane speeds aren’t felt the way they are in person.
I think most of the reason why Oikawa's serve had his arm very sideways was for the sake of the camera angle wanting to show as much of Oikawa as possible (face and body) while also showing a powerful serve. Just more of an animation decision over Oikawa actually being a sideways server.
NOOOOOOOOOOOO Erik’s only on the second season you guys spoiled Tsukki’s epic block for him!!!!! NOOOOOOOOOO
righttt
Right
2:24 its even more impressive when you realize that the ball touched he ground BEFORE he touched the ground from jumping
i didnt even notice omgg!
The jump serve that looks like he's hitting from the side is actually a vertical hit. The camera angle changes to look down the arm at an angle as he hits it. This makes it look like its being hit horizontally. Camera angles in anime can be difficult to ascertain sometimes.
I was gonna say: the anime cheats the camera angle and physicality to put Oikawa's face in the shot.
yeah this ^ his arm is straight up and his body is tilted but the camera shot and the fact it’s an anime exaggerates that all to add to the power of the serve. but i get why people would think it’s sideways
Nope. Pause it at 2:23 his arm is horizontal to his body.
@@aizpruart6261 but look at the end frame. You can see his arm swing across his body to about his thigh.
Some people are comparing coach donny reacting to haikyuu to erik shoji reacting to haikyuu... yall, i freaked out when i saw erik and micah christenson mention haikyuu last year and now erik is reacting to it... dont forget this guy is one of the top3 liberos in the world, highly accomplished olympic libero of Team USA, a total beast (and micah is the best setter in the world and a god, so when I saw him with a pic of kageyama i lost it). It's lovely that more professionals are reacting to haikyuu but the scale is completely different.. when you see the people you admired on tv,legendary figures, the best of the best, love haikyuu, thats a whole different feeling. (Japanese national team's monster players sitting down to talk about haikyuu was the cherry on top as well)
At the rolling thunder part. They aren't laughing because of the move. But because of the name the libero gave the move 😅 I don't know if that explains it. But I find it funny
Like 100
Now that’s a REACTION video! Super Informative and entertaining)
I liked the format of this video! Keep up the good work!
You should watch coach Donny. He also reacts but explains and analyse the show. If I remember well, his channel is Elevate Yourself
@@Wichyn1 yes he also includes demo clips to give you the real life POV
Every athlete is reacting to haikyuu nowadays lol
And I'm here for it.
1:23 the reason they’re laughing is because it’s just a regular rolling receive, but he still gave it a cheesy name
It makes the show so much more enjoyable after watching professional athletes of the sport be impressed over how accurate the techniques are in the show
THIS IS BASICALLY A NISHINOYA REACT AND IM ALL HERE FOR IT
I like the thought getting professionals letting them see animes about their profession and getting them addicted to it
The "shoulder serve" scene was just a creative angle to include the ball and his face in the same shot. Also, it might have been to emphasize that he was putting more strength into it then usual, which is why it went out
My only comment would be that he made contact with the ball before touching the wall and it in no way aided him in the receive., but rather than crash into it and risk injury he did what he did.
Libero seems like a cool role and “ROLLING THUNDDAA” will always be on my mind when I think of the role now
It’s defiantly a compliment when a professional says “I should watch this to improve my game”
I would love them showing him the scene where noya-san sets the ball so someone else can spike.
He laughed at the name lol not the roll itself xD
I died laughing when he said “look at the concentration in his eyes” (referring to Kagemema), HE ALWAYS LOOKS LIKE THAT-
6:22 in the show the libero is one of the top liberos among his peers and pulled off some miraculous saves
the team captain introduced/teased him to the first years as their volleyball team's Guardian Deity because of the saves he can pull off and due to his energy/charisma putting his teammates at ease and raising morale
In the case of the 'shoulder out to the side' one, a possible explanation, apart from some 'rule of cool', could be him shifting his head and torso more towards the left and downwards, so that his arm looks like it's more to the side, but it's actually his torso that is bent away from it, but the camera is focused on the ball so we get that bit of an optical illusion
He was just emotionally supporting Yams at one point and I love it ❤️
This guy speaks so soft and humbly for his title of the best libero in the World of Volleyball.
I'm so sad that noya's double save wasn't shown 😭 still better than nothing
They were laughing at the fact that he yelled out rolling thunder when it was just a rolling receive
I used to love playing volleyball but the older I got, the more people on my teams cared about winning and the less they cared about having fun... its disappointing because its so stressful when I go to receive and they yell at me if I miss it.
cant you change the team? Thats a toxic team you got there! Just ask them to be more polite to you, and if they do diferent, kick their buts and go play somewhere else!
@@caimancosta1690 i cant join a different team, its a school team. And I plan on graduating early so I was probably going to quit athletics anyways.
@@kileylikesgames noooo! sorry to hear that, Its sad to hear when someone stop playing ;-;
wish you well then
yeah the girls in my school are really rude, even though i was a beginner they would yell at me and i would feel really insecure and pressured so thats why i stopped playing
@Fiona Metzo Thats wrong. Most teams are holesome, friendly teams, and treat you like a brother.
when i played volleyball in high school, i was libero and that always made me insecure because i was so bad at the sport - could barely serve over the net and sucked at the offensive. so because of that i always assumed liberos were the "duds" like i was. Makes me happy to see the position in such a different light to how i viewed it back then :')
Man, this is the exact opposite of how I felt walking onto my college team. Libero and Middle Block were like the point guard and center in basketball, and everyone else was just trying to score. Especially libero, to have the insane reaction time and sacrifice to throw your body around.
(Also, we weren’t good. It was a D3 art school 😂 But I had loads of fun.)
I found this on my recommended and this actually helped me because I'm kind of a new volleyball player but i have been practicing so this helps a lot thank you!
i love how humble you are on top of watching it you want to learn from it that's sick man haikyuu is my favorite anime and i appreciate your reaction
I love how entertaining/accurate this anime is. Usually anime’s have people doing the impossible lol.
STILL WAITING FOR VOLLEYBALL COACH DONNY TO REACT TO HAIKYUU!! WITHOUT WORRYING ABOUT GETTING A COPYRIGHT STRIKE
LIKE HE GOES DEEPER IN EACH EPISODE JUST TO GIVE US QUALITY VOLLEYBALL CONTENT
I love how much you explain, like as a volleyball player who started out just last September it helps a lot
erik shoji is so delightful to listen to! so informative and he has a great energy
The best part of this video was his reaction to Oikawa's jump serve because it's so accurate🤣🤣
I started watching Haikyuu because it brought back memories of watching my sister when she played.
You are so pure!!! Thank you for doing this video!! I've always wondered how accurate Haikyuu actually was in competitive Volleyball.
I'm sooo much looking forward to starting to play volleyball once it's allowed again! That was an entertaining reaction video and interesting too.
we really need him to grade Hinata libero skills in s4 lol
Yam's first proper jump float and Tsukki's perfect block, had me in tears
Thank you so much for making this video
Im not sure if you guys can see this but oikawa’s serve, the ball hits the ground around a second or 2 before oikawa lands on the ground. Thats hows how strong the serve is
1:15 They are laughing because of the name “Rolling Thunder”.
Glad to see this. I hope it’s a sign that company’s are starting to tap reactors and compensating them for giving us all more incentive to rewatch series. Haikyu was amazing the first time through and to be able to watch again with a reactor that has never seen it before is like watching a brand new show. Makes me sad I can’t just stay on Crunchyroll to find that option
This was so educational, thank you CrunchyRoll for organizing this! I have a new found love for Haikyu once again!
Love this guys energy. So positive!
7:20 TSUKKI CONFIRMED BEST PLAYER
I play libero in a local club and I’m a huge fan of yours I love watching your games even though I’m from Scotland. Please keep up the great work. 😁
Thank you for reacting! Haikyuu is literally my comfort show
It's funny, I happened to see a clip of your spike score the other day, It stuck in my head because I really loved your reaction (and it was a killer move), but I hadn't seen your name or anything. So imagine my surprise when I watch this video (as I watch every Haikyuu reaction I see, it's my favorite series), and it's you!
Regarding Oikawa's serve he didnt hit it with his arm out to the side from my viewing of it he used his upper body to swing his arm down similar to an axe
I just feel like ✨ ROLLING THUNDER ✨
ahhhhh I BEEN WAITIN FOR THIS ONE
he’s so nice and pure omg
i want this dude as my friend and i don't even know why, it's just something about the aura around him or something and i love it lmao
Elevate Yourself fans here too? I’m just curious, you can reply, no need to like comment.
Indeed. :) Seeing this exposure of volleyball in such a scale excites me and the future and my future as a college athlete going toward pros. I might even make a RUclips channel just exploring other players.
Balls
Loved learning your perspective on Haikyu! I'm a huge Haikyuu fan as well!❤
One comment, The Oikawa serve you mentioned, I believe the video has a top view of the ball, which indicates his highest reach perpendicular to his shoulder blades. Technically looked okay to me. 😁👍
Love watching Team USA!❤🎉
he looks so proud when they start discussing the libero position pleasee🥺
I think you can use the wall after you contact the ball, but not use it to propel yourself towards it. Here Hinata saves the ball first, then uses the wall to protect himself.
Haikyu is so awsome! The realism reminds me of Whistle. But my favorite is Teni-Puri lol
AW THIS WAS SO NICE THANK U ERIK
WAIT UR FOOT SAVE!!! I SAW THAT VIDEO THAT WAS YOU-
*i was so inspired* 😌✌️
Real volleyball players reacting to Haikyuu has been giving me so much serotonin lately. Especially since season 4 just wrapped up. T_T
Omg Erik played for my city's team at the same time I was super into volleyball and Haikyuu, teenage me is :OOO abt this (adult me still trying to process the fact that I didn't know abt his youtube channel??)
Haikyuu had many moments that literally made my jaw drop
thank you for your insight
I am so glad he liked Tsukishima blocking Ushikawa
Ushiwaka. I thought it was weird too or a typo. It’s actually the nickname for USHIJIMA Wakatoshi
Me: *sees title* oh cool another reaction in my rec- wait that name sounds like he’s from Hawaii. I’ll look it up to make sure
Me: *happy Oahu noises*
haikyuu is why i started playing volleyball in the first place and whenever i feel unmotivated i just rewatch it and i get inspired all over again
as someone who is in a volleyball team and is just a beginner this rly helped me figure out how to do rly great serves 😂✋ SO TY
Ohhh is this an old react Erik? :o feel like I saw this before. Though not all of these. And for the wall jump I interpreted it as Hinata getting the ball FIRST then jumped off the wall. So he didn't use it to propel himself to get the ball more just a way to keep himself from smashing into the wall. Would that still be illegal?
I was hoping he would react to oikawa setting before crashing into the table
OMG! Eric, there are so many things I'd like to say, but I don't know what the limit is in the comment. BTW! Man .. I love you and the way you play. I watched the VNL game of the game you played with Poland and I know that the first place is to cheer on my team but when you are on the court I just can't hold myself. Also, I just finished watching you play at the World Championships. And yeah, I'm so damn glad we won, but at the same time ... damn, Eric, you're awesome! Glad Zaksa has you! And one last thing, I love Haikyuu. It's nice that you recorded such an episode, another plus for you. You are great! I'm waiting for the rooolling thundeeer 🙂
100% honest with yall im a volleyball player and the show made me start playing 😂
Ay where my mans Coach Donny's video now?
@Caiman Araújo Very fair, though I feel like it wouldn't be good to refuse. Too much potential for channel growth. Maybe stick to a top 10 of what he's seen so far or something.
Please have him react to a whole game next
I love Volleyball! I also play (or played, bc of the damn C-word) myself and this animie's passion is so contagious!
Also, it's so interesting to hear a professional talk about it! Great video!☺
great video, this guys a beast
Theyre not laughing at him rolling theyre laughing because he sounds ridiculous when he shouts "ROLLINGUU THUNDAA"
So I am a 5'7" male and am interested in playing volleyball. I'm a lineman at my high school for the football team so i do have some meat on me and good leg and arm strength. Yet, I can't jump very high exactly (I don't know my vertical but it is pretty pathetic. )If I were to join a team, would I be okay going for a position like setter or opposite? I don't know how to spike but I do know how to block and have done it once or twice in a recreational game with friends, since one of my friends knows how to spike. I like the position libero, but I want to be able to block and/or set balls. Since I'm short and have a low vert jump should I play libero anyway or is it worth doing jump-type training and getting to a point where I can play the positions such as Setter or opposite.
Enjoyed your video Hopes you do more on this show
Hearing professional volleyball players on haikyuu really makes me feel more interested in volleyball, because almost everything is correct and perfect and everyone agrees with it, makes me hype and wanna play a match with my friends. I hope in my school i can play volleyball, would be really fun to try it.
petition to get erik shoji to yell rolling thunder
5:48 Well I think there was a little misunderstanding: Hinata actually didn't propel himself to save the ball, instead he saved the ball first jumping as much as he can, and as a result he had to "spider man" the wall to prevent crushing into the wall and hurt himself.
If you look scene closely I think you will get that. (Hope that doesn't sound offensive or that I'm blaming ^^ Just pointing that out)
I started Volleyball because of haikyu and it also teached me the techniques and tactics of Volleyball.
