Yes. This is what moved me so much. Hinata pulled him out of being a “tyrant king” by interacting with with Kageyama after they became a team. As most people said, a person can be easily influence by another’s behavior and habits and ends up adapting them. This is what happened with a Kageyama and Hinata. As we can see, after moving into Karasuno and meeting all the other dorks, Kageyama has gotten softer; he can take jokes, has more speech and small talks with others and well, becoming more expressive comparing to him in Kitagawa Daichi. He just needs someone who can agree with his idea and understands his attitude since he is not the most expressive person you’d meet. Look at how Hinata defends him anc is nonchalant about his attitude because he knows that although Kageyama may sounds like an ass, he is completely reasonable. Now, he literally gave Kageyama a new meaning to stand by his title, one that he can be proud of and not hang his head down in shame whenever “king” is mentioned. Edit: AND ITS SO AMAZING HOW HINATA REMEMBERS WHAT KAGEYAMA SAID BACK IN SEASON ONE.
@@brunv4100 I think when he went to Youth Training In Japan He met players who could match his skill and caliber and could score but when he came back his spikers were getting blocked And he reacted out like the kageyama he was back in middle school The kageyama who didnt care about his spikers and just wanted to win. Even though he was changing he realised it that he acted like he was back then and was terrified that he will toss but no spiker will want to hit it. I think this but then again there could be other factors.
@@brunv4100 upto this game ,he managed games by makeup their teammates mistakes,he never told his teammates mistakes to them because he doesn't have communication skills ,if he wanted to told them they look like harsh critics so he fear of losing them like in junior school because of this behavior in training camp atsumu called him goody two shoes , after returning to school he compared his teammates skills to camp teammates skills ,he hoped his teammates doesn't take game easy ,they would realize their mistakes without telling them which doesn't happened, with that frustration his oldself came out.
Kageyama is a genius setter and he knows what's good for the team and what's wrong with their playing style. But the way he expresses it makes him come across as an insufferable jerk and combine that with their own egos. Also a player has specific weakness and strength and playing style of their own , and that needs to be incorporated into the game , and sometimes Kageyama himself can be wrong too. Finding a balance between Kags' own opinions and his teammates is the key , even though it's very difficult to achieve. Coach's guidance and communication is needed for that. Setting is the most difficult job in volleyball. Since Kageyama entered Karasuno , he became submissive and catered more towards the players' and cover up their weaknesses by setting accordingly than try to bring the absolute best out of them by experimentation and pushing them a bit , because he was afraid of losing them like what happened in middle school. This guy really is the most relatable character in the series for me.
I really love that part where Coach Ukai was mentioning how the team finds it hard to nitpick on Kageyama because of his talent then we proceed with Hinata nitpicking on him😭
They defeated karasuno in the next year prefecture final match and make it to nationals and grap a spot to top 16 I'm glad kenji and aone made it they were national level team
1:25 This moment really makes me fall in love with hinata once again. The way he understands kageyama. And at this part he really sound like a captain. Serious Hinata is something else😩👏🏻
kageyama been by his side since episode 1, and i mean 1, even as oponents, kageyama asked him the question which in reality validated hinata as a worthy player. if anyone should stick by kageyama is hinata.
See, I like this because I swear to god, I always saw Kageyama's point. Sure, he didn't need to be an ass about it, but there's nothing wrong with letting your teammates know where to improve if you can see something they can't. Hell, it's often so hard for us to see our own flaws, I actually welcome that kind of critique. I sure as hell wouldn't have figured it out, idiot that I am. In the first episode we see him, Kunimi IS slacking off. Repeatedly he let's points through that no-one should. So this is kind of validating!
But yea, it depends really. Idk if you play sports but their playstyle simply dont match. Kunimi does a lot of analyzing in a play, he does it risk-free, slow and steady, & exploit his opponents weakness when he see them. Hes an efficient player, complete opposite of kageyama's aggressive play. Yknow who else plays like Kunimi? Kenma. And on the 1st episode, Kageyama was being a HUGE ASS. Kunimi "slacking off" actually wasnt s big of a deal compared to Kageyama, who actually bring their own morals down. Thats his job, as a captain & setter. Kageyama's arc wasnt about him actually being right on the 1st episode, but actually knowing his teammate's playstyle & mindset, knowing when its best to give some push & when to let hitters control the ball, unlike on 1st ep where he thinks that hes above everyone else & tried to control literally every aspect of the game including the players physical limitations like a dicktator.
@@Haz1Art True, but as Hinata points out here, just because Kageyama tells people to do something, it doesn't mean they have to listen to him. Hinata does this pretty well when Kageyama tells him to give up on the freak quick, he just says no. It's that simple. Sure, I get that Kageyama's attitude was aggressive and to be honest wasn't helping get his point across, but the issues he brought up WERE legitimate. Sure, I'd agree that Oikawa handled them way better, but he did still change how Kunimi played. Kunimi was someone who constantly slacked off because he wanted to save his energy for thinking, but it was Oikawa who helped turn that into his secret weapon, by working him EVEN HARDER when the game was on its last legs. The point remains that Kunimi did have to slack off less, but Oikawa had the better idea about how to implement that into his gameplan. Not going to spoil anything, but the ongoing match in S4 of Cats vs Monkeys is going to show you why even Kenma has to work hard sometimes and is willing to if it helps the team. Kageyama had been holding back for ages with Karasuno because he was scared shitless of them abandoning him the same way Kitagawa Daichi did. Sure, if they were playing casually that'd be a good thing, but they're trying to win nationals and Kageyama is LITERALLY the best player on their team and the on court attack strategist. His opinion matters. Heck, it was the coach asking Kageyama where he'd put Hinata that got him playing middle blocker, despite how anti-meta a short player in that position is. Tsukki could've been jumping higher. Nishinoya's rolling recieves could've been more streamlined. Tanaka could've gotten more balls. There's bound to be more areas for improvement that Kageyama saw and ignored because he didn't know how to express himself without being an ass. But at the end of the day, its not his job to censor himself, because as Asahi and Tanaka point out, different people take different kinds of criticism and advice totally differently; Its his job to bring up problems when they occur, and try and work together with the hitters to solve them. If he goes too far, that's fine because if his teammates know he's coming from a good place, they'll let him know and he can fine tune it. So all in all, I stand by what I said: Kageyama is just more knowledgeable about Volleyball than the others; his critiques aren't only important, they often make a lot of sense. His biggest hinderance was not being able to express those ideas well, but that's no excuse for not trying.
@@MH3Raiser I get what you mean. I'm also like that. I demand a lot of my teammates in football and as the Point Guard of my basketball team. I played a little higher than most when I was younger so I criticize quite often. But I learned better social skills. I learned that not everyone responds well to direct criticism so I learned how to talk to everyone as an individual. With some people I'm more like "you are pretty good but we could be even better if you try "x" a few times even tho I understand what you are trying to do" etc.. I think Kageyama is on the same path. His personality looks a lot like Young Kobe Bryant, Michael Jordan and even Cristiano Ronaldo at the moment. They too had to learn that not everyone sees the game the way they see it and that they have to become better at communicating and learn more social skills to be more effective leaders.
Up to this point, Kageyama has always been seen as the prodigy who you want to follow, because he is so talented when it comes to volleyball and was there given the nickname king of the court. However, due to his personality and social skills he became a tyrannic king that never accepted the opinion of others, atleast back in middle school. When joining Karasuno, he learned that he has people by his side that will follow him and create new paths together. So at this point, he did not return to his former tyrannic king persona, but he transformed into a king that will lead people
man, he saw in the camp that he was holding himself back to fit his teammates when he actually should’ve kept pushing them to be better, he doesn’t say it correctly but he has a point. he's an amazing setter, and he has been called a prodigy but he’s fitting into his teammates capabilities so they don’t say he’s “too pushy” or call him “the king” again.
It's like Hinata is the driving force Kageyama needed to overcome his fears and weaknesses and Kageyama is the one to bring out the best of Hinata's ability and potential at least for now cause they are still growing. Hinata saved Kageyama from his traumatic experience by trusting Kageyama 100% from the very beginning this is why Hinata is my favorite
Because the comments are getting on my nerves a bit. Let me explain you the whole situation. One, yes, the way Kageyama spoke isn't the best but he is aware of that as well. Two, the main reason why Atsumu called Kageyama ,a "Goody-Two-Shoes", is because Kageyama was not only making his tosses to match the spikes but to match their *mistakes* as well, which in the end makes them weaker because they won't improve. Which is the exact opposite of what anyone in Karasuno want. Kageyama is good and he knows it but he was so scared of his "tyrannical" days in middle school, that this combined with the advice that Oikawa gave him (which isn't bad but while it works for Oikawa and his team, it isn't for Kageyama) on the other hand, Atsumu is very confident/proud and as he said those who just can't hit his tosses suck. While both are extrems that Kageyama went through (Tyrant and a servant to his spiker) with the help of Hinata and the rest of the team he was able to find his style. The king. Noone in Karasuno is bad but they have habits that makes them weaker and Kageyama want to change that because he cares for them and knows that they *are* stronger than this. The fact that Tsukishima can hit higher even above the blockers, somithing that Suna commented as well in their match against Karasuno, shouldn't be a surprise but the fact that Kageyama was too scared of the same thing happening like middle school, he couldn't even think about it before the All-Japan camp and Tsukishima as he said himself, why should he jump higher when he already is jumping? Which can lead them in not getting points that they could have gotten because Tsukki just didn't want to try more. And the last one, the thing with Noya and Asahi. With Noya, Kageyama was able to notices this thanks to the libero(Komori) that was in the All-Japan camp that was able to not only pick the ball amazingly but NOT be in the way of the spikers that were coming from the back. As for with Asahi, it was literally a communication problem. Kageyama is prideful and knows, like I already stated, that both him and his teammates are great/strong players but then all of the sudden the tosses that should have been hit and score with no problems were getting shut down one after the other. If Asahi just told Kageyama before hand what he wanted to try (like Hinata always does) he would have been annoyed because who doesn't want to win and which setter doesn't want their spiker to score but at least he would have been understanding and not have such an outburst. So yeah, Kageyama needs social and communication classes but that is nothing new. He is trying in his own way and as someone has finished the manga he will improve bit by bit. PS. : Trauma can be scary and weight you down a freaking lot no matter how small it may seem to others. Don't underestimated it. Because I can't explain everything well, here is a video that can help you to understand better what I meant if you want to. ruclips.net/video/84PUIIK1UEY/видео.html
Okay that make sense. For the longest time, I was trying to understand what Atsumu meant by goody two shoe. Reminds me of how Kita stepped in during their match bc he knows Rin gets lazy if they're winning lol.
These are all my thoughts in a comment, but as I also have problems expressing myself, I didn't knew how to say all of this. And I hope your hands didn't hurt so much after writing all of this.
@@inestabilidad my hands were surprisingly fine but at the same time I am used to writing way longer text so it's nothing. But I am happy to hear that it is understandable as that was my biggest worry.
Me to Tsumu: This was what happened during that short period after youth camp. SPOILER from manga: Tsumu blaming Hinata (and whole of Karasuno) for Tobio's character development was spot on. They let Kageyama do whateveeer he wanted and got away with it. He became so confident in his sets cause he knows his loyal and amazing spikers are waiting.😭
Exactly. Like I reda the manga and I almost cried when kageyama realized it during the game. I was like holy lord my boy is all grown up. Like that was so emotional.
Atsumu ain't wrong tho but I also think the same as Sakusa hahaha he thinks Atsumu was partly responsible for Kageyama breaking out of his shell coz he was there when Atsumu called Kageyama a goody two-shoes. Fr tho, Atsumu is like the trigger button. 😂😂😂
@@cobrax4159 if you are talking about what I said, then I think it was sometime during their match when they went to Rio or something I think. Hinatas debut match. I don't clearly know the chapter, more like my goldfish memory don't remember
For the first time I’ve seen Kageyama behaves like this, I didn't judged him. I mean there's always a reason why a person behaves like this. He wants to win, he wants to stay in the court. Hinata is first person who understands him. Kageyama’s passion in volleyball is actually terrifying. His backstory is actually painful. Besides, he's not good at communicating. He doesn't know how to express his feelings or say his opinions and judgements. But you know, he improved. You’ll understand why he became like this again when you watch and analyze season 4 carefully. Good thing, Hinata was around. Out of all people, Hinata is the one who understands him the most. Even though they bicker a lot, hinata thinks of him as a partner, not just a friend but a partner. He always thinks he's amazing. All characters here are flawed, most of their experience is realistic.
@@brendanswords4659 in all seriousness, its kinda your fault for watching the clips of past episodes. this is the only place where we can come and discuss awesome moments from anime with fellow weebs! make sure youre up to date before reading comments lol
If you don't understand how tragic is that scene, you sould read the manga again. Because every scen that brings out Kageyama's past are literally the saddest in the show.
@@davidboccuzzo4274 chapter 387, near the end of the manga ! We learn about Kageyama’s past since birth before entering middle school. And it’s fucking sad.
@@Nunelii I read it and I didn't think it was that sad. He was just like Hinata. The only sad thing was his grandpa passing away even tho he looked up to him a lot.
@@cobrax4159 of course it’s damn sad. Because a lot of things are implied. The fact that his parents are never home (we don’t see them even once), the fact that he was considered a marginal by other kids, the fact that his sister left volleyball and left him alone, and the fact that he grew lonelier and lonelier as time passes by. It isn’t even about his grandfather death, he had truly one only thing left and it was volleyball. No family, no friends, not a successful scholarship. The only thing he had was volleyball and it was all his life. Imagine what he must have felt during that match where Kindaichi and Kunimi ditched him. It was the most brutal and cruel thing they could have done to him. He was left with nothing and no one to share his pain with. That’s really sad. Don’t underestimate loneliness, it’s one of the most horrible thing to experience, if not the most horrible. If you take Kageyama’s place you will relate. Personally I relate.
that is why he feared being left out. it was diff from hinata bc hinata only started playing vball when he saw the little giant but kageyama played at a very young age. kageyama treated volleyball as his outlet that pushed him to do better and better to be on the court always
Seeing this makes you realize how genius it was that Ushijima and Hoshiumi ended up as his teammates in Adlers. Ushijima would be immune to Kageyama if he ever reverted to King mode, bc you know, Ushijima is kinda dense🤣 and then Hoshiumi, white version of Hinata. So yeah, makes perfect sense.
Karasuno was really the perfect team for Kageyama just as Hinata was the perfect partner for him. I truly believe that no one could've handled or helped the growth of Kageyama at all other than Karasuno. They understood him, they pushed him, they let him do what he wanted while also correcting him and they made him the King he is today that actually knows how to rule the court instead of how to dictate it.
being nice limits kageyama skills,. kinda drag down to his team mates level, maybe also not trusting them enough that they are trusting his judgement. damn 1 small accident almost ruined a genuis.
Kageyama is too scared of what happened with Kitagawa. He has not enough communication skills to tell his spikers what to do without yelling at them. So he found another technique. He’s so skilled that he’s able to palliate to his teammates flaws, and that worked until there. But that make them kinda rest on their mistakes, without rectifying them. At this level, it begins to have its limits. Kageyama sees that this is not working anymore, and he doesn’t know what to do, especially after Atsumu said to him that he was a docile player. He doesn’t understand that he is skilled enough, and that the only point he has to work on is social interactions. He’s scared of it, because all his life others abandoned him. But know he has Hinata and everything is different.
Kageyama nicknamed hinata as the greatest decoy meanwhile hinata nicknamed kags the new king of the court. Their duo is no doubt one of my absolute favorite in anime
I kinda wish the writer had shown at least part of their 2nd year. Like can you imagine another match against aoba josai where all of kageyamas previous teammates see how well he's doing with the karasuno team in a match. Not all teams are meant to work, and he was way too harsh but if they wanted to work with him they could have figured something out. He needed to chill some and accept their human limits, but they needed to accept that he didn't behave that way just to be a dick to them
yeah, up until third year with different members ofc! wished they did that that way instead of just showing a partial of what had happened from their remaining years in high school. it felt so rushed. i wanted more of them overcoming their weaknesses and train even more to match their opponents in tokyo.
I think it was the other way around. Before this, Kageyama 'spoilt' Karasuno by keeping adjusting his sets according to their preferences and abilities. But actually Kageyama can do better and he knows how his teammates can do better, too. It's just that he is afraid that his criticisms would offend his teammates and leave him, like what happened in Kitagawa. But then it turns out that Karasuno members are more open to his criticisms (I dont know if it's bcs of their personality, their camaraderie, or that they're now old/mature enough for criticisms. Or maybe combination of all?). This is when Karasuno 'saved' Kageyama. So, yeah, they're such a great team.
Kageyama took really hard what Atsumu had told him, because he saw how Atsumu behaved and maybe he thought he was in control of everything,but Atsumu behaves more of a king than Kags or Oikawa, Oikawa knows is his job to give the spiker every set EXACTLY like THEY want it, not like he wants it; Atsumu is arrogant and doesn’t think he did wrong is you miss a spike and can’t even be nice about it, his set was good and you’re a bad player if you miss it, while Oikawa apologizes even if it’s not his fault just to not bring a teammate down, Oikawa is overall a better player than Atsumu, no wonder he’s the captain. but that might just be my opinion. Atsumu’s words affected Kageyama more than it should, but i think a really good setter behaves more like Oikawa, he understands the position he plays perfectly , idk🤷🏽♀️
I feel like, Atsumu is like the past-Kageyama but with a friend/twin by his side who can compete and pushing him ahead, also telling him if he's doing right and wrong. Not to mention Atsumu is lucky enough to have an already great teammates (individually skill). So, he doesn't have to really care about 120% spiker's abilities. Hence, Atsumu's backstory is so similar with Kageyama's. The difference is that Astumu has Osamu, Kageyama has none. Also, Coach Ukai once said, "If only Kagehina met earlier.." And here we are having Twins which is the epitome of what Ukai wished. Funny thing is for Kageyama, Karasuno vs Inarizaki is like him vs his past self (but more refined and better mentality). And I'm glad, because of this Kageyama can't stay aggressive like he used to. Which makes Kageyama to swift his setting style and to rely on his other spikers more, leading him to finally able to become like Oikawa. 😅 Just like Karasuno vs Aoba Johsai, in which Kageyama had to be aggressive using Hinata over and over, here when fighting against a copy-paste of him, Kageyama has to set clean, collected and attentive like Oikawa's setting style. Thus makes him more flexible and that's why in the end of the series, he's the best setter. He adjusts really well. Oikawa is also great, second to Kageyama. The only thing he lost from Kageyama is just the accuracy (Oikawa admit it himself). Well, it's understandable because Kageyama is seen to take care his nails more seriously than the other two.
Kageyama was meant to be the main character though, but Furudate thought it's a bit difficult to pull story-wise, so they changed it to Hinata instead while Kageyama the second main character
SPOILER IF YOU DIDNT WATCH SEASON 4 in season 4 during the inarizaki match, asahi does exactly what he’s talking about in 2:15. In the match, he jumps to hit, but does like a stretch or flex thing (I don’t know what it’s called😭) that delayed his spike enough so that when he was at his peak, the blockers started to fall.
SPOILER ALEEERTTTTT! . . . After Ushikawa graduated and left Shiratorizawa, Karasuno was the biggest threat. At 5:55 that was real skipping a year or two, Date Tech stole the spot from Karasuno or Shiratorizawa to go to Nationals.
Date Tech went to Inter High but Karasuno won the spring tournament so they went again at the nationals The same thing happened(lost to aoba for inter high but they won shiratorizawa)
Kageyama always snaps at Hinata, so Hinata is immune to this. It's the first time he snaps at the team members, his seniors at that. Hinata has accepted Kageyama as he is, and he is just encouraging the whole team to understand Kageyama better. This goes for Kageyama as well, his sets are great, but are they great for the member he is tossing to? Biggest lesson he learned after middle school trauma. Seeing him being called Boke by Tanaka was satisfying ngl lmaoo
Hinata lack in skills and then there's Kageyama who helps him receive, improve his jumping point and many other things. Kageyama's weakness is his mentality, and then there's Hinata there to help him heal his mental. Kageyama finally has someone like Osamu to Atsumu and Iwa-chan to Oikawa. 😊
*Warning for spoilers* So when they were in 2nd year, they got beat by date tech and date tech went to nationals, they qualified for the spring tournament but after 3 rounds they were beaten by inarizaki or the miya twins. And when they were in 3rd year, they got to nationals and went until the semi finals, becoming 3rd in the country. Got there ass whooped during 2nd year but came back stronger in 3rd year
Im seeing a monster kageyama, hinata 3rd year moments and tsukki being a monster 3rd year blocker with yamaguchi killing everyone with his 3rd year serves. All back in my head
I wish they would animate that tbh and introduce the new members of the team instead of going straight to the future. Thats what disappoints me the most
@@mozyman05 tbh if they did continue their 2nd year and introduce new characters the series would become repetitive with tournaments and it would be boring because the characters are at their peak of their growth, which is why the last arc is an interesting way to recap their growth
@@jokesonuiamwart1079 I'm just going to assume that Hinata was playing opposite hitter and someone else was playing middle. This is a practice match so they're probably messing around with positions.
A libero doesn't always swap with middle blockers. Heck, I remember in the rally against Johzenji where Hinata went Spiderman, the back row lineup was Nishinoya (serving spot) - Asahi - Hinata and front row had Kageyama and Tanaka shown (safe to assume the third guy in the front row is Tsukishima as the front row will always have a middle blocker). This means he was swapped with Daichi at that round. If you guys look at professional volleyball, the libero would sometimes sub spikers to let them rest or have breathing space without using up a substitution. Sometimes, a libero doesn't even go to the court as they also need to rest, which is often the case during intense matches (see the very last rally against Shiratorizawa where Nishinoya is absent from the court). Middle blockers just tend to be the go-to position that a libero swaps with for several reasons: 1) Middle blockers tend to expend a lot more energy than any other position. Every time the ball switches sides, they have to be jumping 99% of the time. This is from both jumping to block, and jumping to either do a quick or fake a quick as part of their decoy duty. Being a decoy is especially tiring as they have to do a running approach, jump, and then spike for real, even if they know the ball isn't being tossed for them. 2) Middle blockers generally aren't expected to be stellar back row players. Back row quick attacks are exceedingly rare as it is more reactable than when done in the front row and loses the decoy feature. Their height is considered a detriment to their floor defense (middle blockers are often the tallest in the team and short players, by trend, tend to have better floor defense and ball control than tall players). Lastly, their energy shouldn't be wasted performing back row duties because of #1. In the case of this practice match, I'm 75% sure (it's been so long since I've last read this part in the manga) that they're trying to both see what Hinata learned in the training camp coupled with some of the surprising feats he pulled off during the Shiratorizawa match. If you guys remember, this is the point where Hinata starts to show signs of affinity towards floor defense and is starting to show great potential in performing flying receives.
Knew that too, but I never would think they'd keep Hinata of all players in. He has the worst receives. I just assume that they're keeping him in cause it's just a practice match.
Kageyama wants his toss to score, that’s his whole mindset, unfortunately he has to overlook the team he has and adjust a bit, he wants to toss like he wanted to but he has to level it down for everyone to keep up, limits are unimaginable cause some of them can be breakthrough but the thing about limiters is what you can do is what you can only do, you won’t bother cause you know it’s what you can only do, Kageyama knows that he needs to make the limiter break for the team so that everybody is at 120%
Funny that many people don't realize this though. Whenever there's a discussion between who is better between Oikawa and Kageyama, people always argue that Oikawa is better just because he can pull off 120% spiker's abilities. If it was only after season 3, yes no doubt Oikawa is better. But, after Inarizaki vs Karasuno, Kageyama is finally standing in the same stage as Oikawa, able to pull off 120% spiker's abilities, albeit not canonically said, but it is canonically shown. 😅
He can't socialize like normal people do. He didn't have any friends in his childhood and Kindaichi and Kunimi didn't really think of him as a friend. Fans even say he's autistic. But, at least if we pay attention to the language, he uses polite word. Although it doesn't match his expression. That's why, his seniors can't judge him.
Everyone: I don't care what he said if I don't like it...
Asahi: I don't mind but please can you speak nicer to me....lol
Asahi is me XD
Asahi Is me
“I mean, I wouldn't mind if you would speak nicer to me....”
I don't understand this, might be a mistake
The fragile beast
😂
It was Hinata who trusted him 100% and the one who brought a whole new meaning to his title
Yes. This is what moved me so much. Hinata pulled him out of being a “tyrant king” by interacting with with Kageyama after they became a team. As most people said, a person can be easily influence by another’s behavior and habits and ends up adapting them. This is what happened with a Kageyama and Hinata. As we can see, after moving into Karasuno and meeting all the other dorks, Kageyama has gotten softer; he can take jokes, has more speech and small talks with others and well, becoming more expressive comparing to him in Kitagawa Daichi. He just needs someone who can agree with his idea and understands his attitude since he is not the most expressive person you’d meet. Look at how Hinata defends him anc is nonchalant about his attitude because he knows that although Kageyama may sounds like an ass, he is completely reasonable. Now, he literally gave Kageyama a new meaning to stand by his title, one that he can be proud of and not hang his head down in shame whenever “king” is mentioned.
Edit: AND ITS SO AMAZING HOW HINATA REMEMBERS WHAT KAGEYAMA SAID BACK IN SEASON ONE.

Since Kageyama entered Karasuno , he became submissive and catered more towards the players' and cover up their weaknesses by setting accordingly than try to bring the absolute best out of them by experimentation and pushing them a bit , because he was afraid of losing them like what happened in middle school.
This guy really is the most relatable character in the series for me.
I really love that part where Coach Ukai was mentioning how the team finds it hard to nitpick on Kageyama because of his talent then we proceed with Hinata nitpicking on him😭

1:25 This moment really makes me fall in love with hinata once again. The way he understands kageyama. And at this part he really sound like a captain. Serious Hinata is something else😩👏🏻
kageyama been by his side since episode 1, and i mean 1, even as oponents, kageyama asked him the question which in reality validated hinata as a worthy player.
if anyone should stick by kageyama is hinata.
@@Noamalmogggthey see each other for what the other is and admire each other for it!! They also have a sprinkle of “apple of my eye” kinda thing too.
See, I like this because I swear to god, I always saw Kageyama's point. Sure, he didn't need to be an ass about it, but there's nothing wrong with letting your teammates know where to improve if you can see something they can't.
Hell, it's often so hard for us to see our own flaws, I actually welcome that kind of critique. I sure as hell wouldn't have figured it out, idiot that I am.
In the first episode we see him, Kunimi IS slacking off. Repeatedly he let's points through that no-one should.
So this is kind of validating!
But yea, it depends really. Idk if you play sports but their playstyle simply dont match. Kunimi does a lot of analyzing in a play, he does it risk-free, slow and steady, & exploit his opponents weakness when he see them. Hes an efficient player, complete opposite of kageyama's aggressive play. Yknow who else plays like Kunimi? Kenma. And on the 1st episode, Kageyama was being a HUGE ASS. Kunimi "slacking off" actually wasnt s big of a deal compared to Kageyama, who actually bring their own morals down. Thats his job, as a captain & setter. Kageyama's arc wasnt about him actually being right on the 1st episode, but actually knowing his teammate's playstyle & mindset, knowing when its best to give some push & when to let hitters control the ball, unlike on 1st ep where he thinks that hes above everyone else & tried to control literally every aspect of the game including the players physical limitations like a dicktator.
@@Haz1Art True, but as Hinata points out here, just because Kageyama tells people to do something, it doesn't mean they have to listen to him. Hinata does this pretty well when Kageyama tells him to give up on the freak quick, he just says no. It's that simple.
Sure, I get that Kageyama's attitude was aggressive and to be honest wasn't helping get his point across, but the issues he brought up WERE legitimate. Sure, I'd agree that Oikawa handled them way better, but he did still change how Kunimi played.
Kunimi was someone who constantly slacked off because he wanted to save his energy for thinking, but it was Oikawa who helped turn that into his secret weapon, by working him EVEN HARDER when the game was on its last legs. The point remains that Kunimi did have to slack off less, but Oikawa had the better idea about how to implement that into his gameplan.
Not going to spoil anything, but the ongoing match in S4 of Cats vs Monkeys is going to show you why even Kenma has to work hard sometimes and is willing to if it helps the team.
Kageyama had been holding back for ages with Karasuno because he was scared shitless of them abandoning him the same way Kitagawa Daichi did. Sure, if they were playing casually that'd be a good thing, but they're trying to win nationals and Kageyama is LITERALLY the best player on their team and the on court attack strategist. His opinion matters.
Heck, it was the coach asking Kageyama where he'd put Hinata that got him playing middle blocker, despite how anti-meta a short player in that position is.
Tsukki could've been jumping higher. Nishinoya's rolling recieves could've been more streamlined. Tanaka could've gotten more balls. There's bound to be more areas for improvement that Kageyama saw and ignored because he didn't know how to express himself without being an ass.
But at the end of the day, its not his job to censor himself, because as Asahi and Tanaka point out, different people take different kinds of criticism and advice totally differently;
Its his job to bring up problems when they occur, and try and work together with the hitters to solve them. If he goes too far, that's fine because if his teammates know he's coming from a good place, they'll let him know and he can fine tune it.
So all in all, I stand by what I said: Kageyama is just more knowledgeable about Volleyball than the others; his critiques aren't only important, they often make a lot of sense. His biggest hinderance was not being able to express those ideas well, but that's no excuse for not trying.
@@MH3Raiser you are describing the characters in such great depths. How amazing does a show have to be to keep you immersed like that? Incredible.
@@SuperGGLOL Pretty amazing XD But Haikyuu is easily the best sports anime I've ever seen, possible the best anime I've seen period.
@@MH3Raiser I get what you mean. I'm also like that. I demand a lot of my teammates in football and as the Point Guard of my basketball team. I played a little higher than most when I was younger so I criticize quite often. But I learned better social skills. I learned that not everyone responds well to direct criticism so I learned how to talk to everyone as an individual. With some people I'm more like "you are pretty good but we could be even better if you try "x" a few times even tho I understand what you are trying to do" etc..
I think Kageyama is on the same path. His personality looks a lot like Young Kobe Bryant, Michael Jordan and even Cristiano Ronaldo at the moment. They too had to learn that not everyone sees the game the way they see it and that they have to become better at communicating and learn more social skills to be more effective leaders.

Which chapter can you tell me???
Up to this point, Kageyama has always been seen as the prodigy who you want to follow, because he is so talented when it comes to volleyball and was there given the nickname king of the court. However, due to his personality and social skills he became a tyrannic king that never accepted the opinion of others, atleast back in middle school. When joining Karasuno, he learned that he has people by his side that will follow him and create new paths together. So at this point, he did not return to his former tyrannic king persona, but he transformed into a king that will lead people
“I can be a goody-two shoes here...”
My heart...😭💔
I know right!
man, he saw in the camp that he was holding himself back to fit his teammates when he actually should’ve kept pushing them to be better, he doesn’t say it correctly but he has a point. he's an amazing setter, and he has been called a prodigy but he’s fitting into his teammates capabilities so they don’t say he’s “too pushy” or call him “the king” again.

It's like Hinata is the driving force Kageyama needed to overcome his fears and weaknesses and Kageyama is the one to bring out the best of Hinata's ability and potential at least for now cause they are still growing.
Hinata saved Kageyama from his traumatic experience by trusting Kageyama 100% from the very beginning this is why Hinata is my favorite
I laughed when tanaka called Kageyama "Boke!"
The shibu town is so freaking cute and he just lets Hinata do it too 🥺🥺
この回皆個性が出てて好き
Because the comments are getting on my nerves a bit. Let me explain you the whole situation. One, yes, the way Kageyama spoke isn't the best but he is aware of that as well. Two, the main reason why Atsumu called Kageyama ,a "Goody-Two-Shoes", is because Kageyama was not only making his tosses to match the spikes but to match their *mistakes* as well, which in the end makes them weaker because they won't improve. Which is the exact opposite of what anyone in Karasuno want. Kageyama is good and he knows it but he was so scared of his "tyrannical" days in middle school, that this combined with the advice that Oikawa gave him (which isn't bad but while it works for Oikawa and his team, it isn't for Kageyama) on the other hand, Atsumu is very confident/proud and as he said those who just can't hit his tosses suck. While both are extrems that Kageyama went through (Tyrant and a servant to his spiker) with the help of Hinata and the rest of the team he was able to find his style.
The king.
Noone in Karasuno is bad but they have habits that makes them weaker and Kageyama want to change that because he cares for them and knows that they *are* stronger than this. The fact that Tsukishima can hit higher even above the blockers, somithing that Suna commented as well in their match against Karasuno, shouldn't be a surprise but the fact that Kageyama was too scared of the same thing happening like middle school, he couldn't even think about it before the All-Japan camp and Tsukishima as he said himself, why should he jump higher when he already is jumping? Which can lead them in not getting points that they could have gotten because Tsukki just didn't want to try more. And the last one, the thing with Noya and Asahi. With Noya, Kageyama was able to notices this thanks to the libero(Komori) that was in the All-Japan camp that was able to not only pick the ball amazingly but NOT be in the way of the spikers that were coming from the back. As for with Asahi, it was literally a communication problem. Kageyama is prideful and knows, like I already stated, that both him and his teammates are great/strong players but then all of the sudden the tosses that should have been hit and score with no problems were getting shut down one after the other. If Asahi just told Kageyama before hand what he wanted to try (like Hinata always does) he would have been annoyed because who doesn't want to win and which setter doesn't want their spiker to score but at least he would have been understanding and not have such an outburst.
So yeah, Kageyama needs social and communication classes but that is nothing new. He is trying in his own way and as someone has finished the manga he will improve bit by bit.
PS. : Trauma can be scary and weight you down a freaking lot no matter how small it may seem to others. Don't underestimated it.
Because I can't explain everything well, here is a video that can help you to understand better what I meant if you want to.

Man there is so much foreshadowing in this one clip for their match with Inarizaki. Everything that they’re practicing here comes together
Seeing Tanaka hit that cross shot in last week’s episode makes this clip even more beautiful
Me to Tsumu: This was what happened during that short period after youth camp.
SPOILER from manga:
Tsumu blaming Hinata (and whole of Karasuno) for Tobio's character development was spot on. They let Kageyama do whateveeer he wanted and got away with it. He became so confident in his sets cause he knows his loyal and amazing spikers are waiting.😭
and the fact that he was so dramatic blaming hinata and left the poor boy confused kshDSHFfhksdh
Exactly. Like I reda the manga and I almost cried when kageyama realized it during the game. I was like holy lord my boy is all grown up. Like that was so emotional.
Atsumu ain't wrong tho but I also think the same as Sakusa hahaha he thinks Atsumu was partly responsible for Kageyama breaking out of his shell coz he was there when Atsumu called Kageyama a goody two-shoes. Fr tho, Atsumu is like the trigger button. 😂😂😂

この回すっっっっごいヒヤヒヤしてたんだけど、やっぱ日向ってすごい烏野ってすごいって思った
For the first time I’ve seen Kageyama behaves like this, I didn't judged him. I mean there's always a reason why a person behaves like this. He wants to win, he wants to stay in the court. Hinata is first person who understands him. Kageyama’s passion in volleyball is actually terrifying. His backstory is actually painful. Besides, he's not good at communicating. He doesn't know how to express his feelings or say his opinions and judgements. But you know, he improved. You’ll understand why he became like this again when you watch and analyze season 4 carefully. Good thing, Hinata was around. Out of all people, Hinata is the one who understands him the most. Even though they bicker a lot, hinata thinks of him as a partner, not just a friend but a partner. He always thinks he's amazing. All characters here are flawed, most of their experience is realistic.
Kageyama overcoming his trauma is just a beauty to watch.

If you don't understand how tragic is that scene, you sould read the manga again. Because every scen that brings out Kageyama's past are literally the saddest in the show.
Wait the Manga gives Kageyama’s back story?? What else do they talk about in the manga??
@@davidboccuzzo4274 chapter 387, near the end of the manga ! We learn about Kageyama’s past since birth before entering middle school. And it’s fucking sad.
@@Nunelii I read it and I didn't think it was that sad. He was just like Hinata. The only sad thing was his grandpa passing away even tho he looked up to him a lot.
@@cobrax4159 of course it’s damn sad. Because a lot of things are implied. The fact that his parents are never home (we don’t see them even once), the fact that he was considered a marginal by other kids, the fact that his sister left volleyball and left him alone, and the fact that he grew lonelier and lonelier as time passes by. It isn’t even about his grandfather death, he had truly one only thing left and it was volleyball. No family, no friends, not a successful scholarship. The only thing he had was volleyball and it was all his life. Imagine what he must have felt during that match where Kindaichi and Kunimi ditched him. It was the most brutal and cruel thing they could have done to him. He was left with nothing and no one to share his pain with. That’s really sad. Don’t underestimate loneliness, it’s one of the most horrible thing to experience, if not the most horrible. If you take Kageyama’s place you will relate. Personally I relate.
that is why he feared being left out. it was diff from hinata bc hinata only started playing vball when he saw the little giant but kageyama played at a very young age. kageyama treated volleyball as his outlet that pushed him to do better and better to be on the court always
I love the Music played when Hinata is Giving Kags his Crown......!!😭😭❤️❤️❤️🔥🔥
Ikr
Seeing this makes you realize how genius it was that Ushijima and Hoshiumi ended up as his teammates in Adlers. Ushijima would be immune to Kageyama if he ever reverted to King mode, bc you know, Ushijima is kinda dense🤣 and then Hoshiumi, white version of Hinata. So yeah, makes perfect sense.
White version of Hinata🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
But for me, Hinata is more lovable😃😃
Asahi is such a softie (个_个)
Karasuno was really the perfect team for Kageyama just as Hinata was the perfect partner for him. I truly believe that no one could've handled or helped the growth of Kageyama at all other than Karasuno. They understood him, they pushed him, they let him do what he wanted while also correcting him and they made him the King he is today that actually knows how to rule the court instead of how to dictate it.
being nice limits kageyama skills,. kinda drag down to his team mates level, maybe also not trusting them enough that they are trusting his judgement. damn 1 small accident almost ruined a genuis.
Kageyama is too scared of what happened with Kitagawa. He has not enough communication skills to tell his spikers what to do without yelling at them. So he found another technique. He’s so skilled that he’s able to palliate to his teammates flaws, and that worked until there. But that make them kinda rest on their mistakes, without rectifying them. At this level, it begins to have its limits. Kageyama sees that this is not working anymore, and he doesn’t know what to do, especially after Atsumu said to him that he was a docile player. He doesn’t understand that he is skilled enough, and that the only point he has to work on is social interactions. He’s scared of it, because all his life others abandoned him. But know he has Hinata and everything is different.
rather than "being nice", i think "playing safe" would be the more appropriate word?

I want this animation back in the new episodes.

Ngl, same
Every else except Karasuno: dictatorial king is back
Hinata: Not in my watch
Its always scary when your past comes back to haunt you
I kinda wish the writer had shown at least part of their 2nd year. Like can you imagine another match against aoba josai where all of kageyamas previous teammates see how well he's doing with the karasuno team in a match. Not all teams are meant to work, and he was way too harsh but if they wanted to work with him they could have figured something out. He needed to chill some and accept their human limits, but they needed to accept that he didn't behave that way just to be a dick to them
yeah, up until third year with different members ofc! wished they did that that way instead of just showing a partial of what had happened from their remaining years in high school. it felt so rushed. i wanted more of them overcoming their weaknesses and train even more to match their opponents in tokyo.
Like Atsumu Miya said, and i paraphrase, Karasuno really spoilt Kageyama.
I think it was the other way around. Before this, Kageyama 'spoilt' Karasuno by keeping adjusting his sets according to their preferences and abilities. But actually Kageyama can do better and he knows how his teammates can do better, too. It's just that he is afraid that his criticisms would offend his teammates and leave him, like what happened in Kitagawa. But then it turns out that Karasuno members are more open to his criticisms (I dont know if it's bcs of their personality, their camaraderie, or that they're now old/mature enough for criticisms. Or maybe combination of all?). This is when Karasuno 'saved' Kageyama. So, yeah, they're such a great team.
I can't believe this was actually foreshadowing their second year
Is no one going to point out that Tanaka called Kageyama boke?
Yeah I was thinking the same
At least he said please
Kageyama took really hard what Atsumu had told him, because he saw how Atsumu behaved and maybe he thought he was in control of everything,but Atsumu behaves more of a king than Kags or Oikawa, Oikawa knows is his job to give the spiker every set EXACTLY like THEY want it, not like he wants it; Atsumu is arrogant and doesn’t think he did wrong is you miss a spike and can’t even be nice about it, his set was good and you’re a bad player if you miss it, while Oikawa apologizes even if it’s not his fault just to not bring a teammate down, Oikawa is overall a better player than Atsumu, no wonder he’s the captain. but that might just be my opinion.
Atsumu’s words affected Kageyama more than it should, but i think a really good setter behaves more like Oikawa, he understands the position he plays perfectly , idk🤷🏽♀️
I feel like, Atsumu is like the past-Kageyama but with a friend/twin by his side who can compete and pushing him ahead, also telling him if he's doing right and wrong. Not to mention Atsumu is lucky enough to have an already great teammates (individually skill). So, he doesn't have to really care about 120% spiker's abilities.
Hence, Atsumu's backstory is so similar with Kageyama's. The difference is that Astumu has Osamu, Kageyama has none.
Also, Coach Ukai once said, "If only Kagehina met earlier.."
And here we are having Twins which is the epitome of what Ukai wished.
Funny thing is for Kageyama, Karasuno vs Inarizaki is like him vs his past self (but more refined and better mentality). And I'm glad, because of this Kageyama can't stay aggressive like he used to. Which makes Kageyama to swift his setting style and to rely on his other spikers more, leading him to finally able to become like Oikawa. 😅
Just like Karasuno vs Aoba Johsai, in which Kageyama had to be aggressive using Hinata over and over, here when fighting against a copy-paste of him, Kageyama has to set clean, collected and attentive like Oikawa's setting style. Thus makes him more flexible and that's why in the end of the series, he's the best setter. He adjusts really well.
Oikawa is also great, second to Kageyama. The only thing he lost from Kageyama is just the accuracy (Oikawa admit it himself). Well, it's understandable because Kageyama is seen to take care his nails more seriously than the other two.
2:56 This Yamaguchi is a bit different than usual
I love how hinata crowned kageyama
If Blue Lock was about volleyball, Kageyama and Korai would be the perfect MC lmao
Kageyama was meant to be the main character though, but Furudate thought it's a bit difficult to pull story-wise, so they changed it to Hinata instead while Kageyama the second main character

in season 4 during the inarizaki match, asahi does exactly what he’s talking about in 2:15. In the match, he jumps to hit, but does like a stretch or flex thing (I don’t know what it’s called😭) that delayed his spike enough so that when he was at his peak, the blockers started to fall.

After Ushikawa graduated and left Shiratorizawa, Karasuno was the biggest threat. At 5:55 that was real skipping a year or two, Date Tech stole the spot from Karasuno or Shiratorizawa to go to Nationals.
Karasuno technically was already the biggest threat before Ushijima graduated since they beat Shiratorizawa.
Date Tech went to Inter High but Karasuno won the spring tournament so they went again at the nationals
The same thing happened(lost to aoba for inter high but they won shiratorizawa)

2:54 ここのツッキー可愛いw
Kageyama always snaps at Hinata, so Hinata is immune to this. It's the first time he snaps at the team members, his seniors at that. Hinata has accepted Kageyama as he is, and he is just encouraging the whole team to understand Kageyama better. This goes for Kageyama as well, his sets are great, but are they great for the member he is tossing to? Biggest lesson he learned after middle school trauma. Seeing him being called Boke by Tanaka was satisfying ngl lmaoo
Hinata lack in skills and then there's Kageyama who helps him receive, improve his jumping point and many other things.
Kageyama's weakness is his mentality, and then there's Hinata there to help him heal his mental.
Kageyama finally has someone like Osamu to Atsumu and Iwa-chan to Oikawa. 😊

3:49 New King Kageyama activated
5:26 confused as hell by the rotation now.
Lmao how is Hinata there, shouldn't he be out if the libero is in?
@@jokesonuiamwart1079 I'm just going to assume that Hinata was playing opposite hitter and someone else was playing middle. This is a practice match so they're probably messing around with positions.
A libero doesn't always swap with middle blockers. Heck, I remember in the rally against Johzenji where Hinata went Spiderman, the back row lineup was Nishinoya (serving spot) - Asahi - Hinata and front row had Kageyama and Tanaka shown (safe to assume the third guy in the front row is Tsukishima as the front row will always have a middle blocker). This means he was swapped with Daichi at that round.
If you guys look at professional volleyball, the libero would sometimes sub spikers to let them rest or have breathing space without using up a substitution. Sometimes, a libero doesn't even go to the court as they also need to rest, which is often the case during intense matches (see the very last rally against Shiratorizawa where Nishinoya is absent from the court).
Middle blockers just tend to be the go-to position that a libero swaps with for several reasons:
1) Middle blockers tend to expend a lot more energy than any other position. Every time the ball switches sides, they have to be jumping 99% of the time. This is from both jumping to block, and jumping to either do a quick or fake a quick as part of their decoy duty. Being a decoy is especially tiring as they have to do a running approach, jump, and then spike for real, even if they know the ball isn't being tossed for them.
2) Middle blockers generally aren't expected to be stellar back row players. Back row quick attacks are exceedingly rare as it is more reactable than when done in the front row and loses the decoy feature. Their height is considered a detriment to their floor defense (middle blockers are often the tallest in the team and short players, by trend, tend to have better floor defense and ball control than tall players). Lastly, their energy shouldn't be wasted performing back row duties because of #1.
In the case of this practice match, I'm 75% sure (it's been so long since I've last read this part in the manga) that they're trying to both see what Hinata learned in the training camp coupled with some of the surprising feats he pulled off during the Shiratorizawa match. If you guys remember, this is the point where Hinata starts to show signs of affinity towards floor defense and is starting to show great potential in performing flying receives.

Knew that too, but I never would think they'd keep Hinata of all players in. He has the worst receives. I just assume that they're keeping him in cause it's just a practice match.
2:53 💚😂🌙🧂
I'm not crying, you are!
Top 10 Anime birth of a Monster
The towel had a little dog in it 🥺
Your spikes are essential
Kageyama wants his toss to score, that’s his whole mindset, unfortunately he has to overlook the team he has and adjust a bit, he wants to toss like he wanted to but he has to level it down for everyone to keep up, limits are unimaginable cause some of them can be breakthrough but the thing about limiters is what you can do is what you can only do, you won’t bother cause you know it’s what you can only do, Kageyama knows that he needs to make the limiter break for the team so that everybody is at 120%
Funny that many people don't realize this though. Whenever there's a discussion between who is better between Oikawa and Kageyama, people always argue that Oikawa is better just because he can pull off 120% spiker's abilities.
If it was only after season 3, yes no doubt Oikawa is better. But, after Inarizaki vs Karasuno, Kageyama is finally standing in the same stage as Oikawa, able to pull off 120% spiker's abilities, albeit not canonically said, but it is canonically shown. 😅
Bro he literally made me so mad. Like, you don’t talk to your seniors like that
He can't socialize like normal people do. He didn't have any friends in his childhood and Kindaichi and Kunimi didn't really think of him as a friend. Fans even say he's autistic.
But, at least if we pay attention to the language, he uses polite word. Although it doesn't match his expression. That's why, his seniors can't judge him.
i prefer the faster animation this season. the inarizaki match wouldn’t have worked with the old animation style imo
あ、好きにやってええんや
Ah i wish it hadnt skipped so much when hinata places a crown towel on his head... It would have been so emotional...sigh
The way kageyama’s lip wobbles for a split second before he smiles made me so emotional
hinata is really a shrimpball of sunshine
The talk with Atsumu
This match
Inarizaki match

Indeed they did lose to Date-ko the following year and were eliminated from the tournament by them. Heartbreaking
