[@haanis5458]

Its called brother love.

[@richardanderson9092]

I love the "which Shoji brother should have gotten the ball" moment at 13:48!

[@hemasadek4197]

the fact that eric is 6.07 feet yet he look so short on the court : it just shows you how tall are these ppl actually are

[@yuyugo62]

I missed you! Congrats for you both for going to Tokyo 🥳 your parents must be so proud!! 👏🏻 I hope you guys can rest and recharge your energies in this busy schedule 😱 🇺🇸 ✈️ 🇮🇹 ✈️ 🇺🇸 ✈️ 🇯🇵 💪🏻

[@rylieree]

[@zee3e]

erik has a lot of younger sibling energy in this video haha

[@co0kii]

14:45 had me chuckling SHOJI BRO CONNECTIONNN 😆 (only moments after we saw their sibling rivalry on display)

[@simplysimple7628]

You guys arguing over that play was absolutely hilarious 🤣😂🤦🏽‍♂️ Before you guys even started to argue, I knew Mr Libero was ready to say something 😆🤙🏼

[@catherinel7533]

12:44 It’s the hat slap for me 😂😂

[@thanglongnguyenvu3815]

I love how both of their bad and good plays are shown here.

[@leabitterwolf8050]

You got to love the Shoji Brothers Connection on court and on KZbin 😁 And what a nice way to end the game!

[@Beachn2407]

We ALL knew that you guys were gonna talk about this one 13:44 when it happened live on court haha

[@broccolirahb]

Y'all's dynamic is so fun to watch. The love is obvious, and so is the desire to play excellent volleyball!

[@haydennn800]

13:45 the look eric gave him 😂

[@undecipline3686]

It's so much fun to see you and Kawika react to the stolen cover! I was entertained by those "TRIGGERED" so much.

[@beatrizcorrea5618]

Always nice to see the shoji brothers together, the interaction between u guys on and off the court is the best!! Is there a chance of u reacting to 🇵🇱 vs 🇧🇷 on the VNL final? Love ur channel!!

[@edytajaworska]

Welcome to ZAKSA Erik!! Finally it’s official! It will be great to see you on polish courts! ❤️🇵🇱🏐 I hope you will have a great season 🔵⚪️🔴 Better start to learn polish 😋 Yay!! So excited!

[@arwena1659]

Looking forward to watching you play in Plusliga! Still waiting for that Zaksa - Trentino reaction. I hope you will find time to upload, despite OG coming soon.

[@gumpalneilanthonya.1155]

Fell short on VNL, but still rooting for team USA men's volleyball in Tokyo!!! Much respect from Philippines!!

[@jyfelisilda8194]

I know that Smith (mb) is a tall middle blocker at 6 foot 8 im not sure but somewhere around that number. But when he's with a bunch of other tall guys on the USA team, it makes me think that he's small for a middle blocker silly😂

[@emilioenriquez7544]

AYEEE HE'S BACK! Good performances in the VNL good preparation for tokyo you guys are gonna kill it

[@kritmanator712]

I love brotherhood energy.

I love watching you react I feel like I learn stuff by just listening lol good luck in the Olympics I’ll be rooting for you :)

[@sarvagyalama9291]

[@user-rb8tv5ch8o]

[@Lumiere20]

[@jinandjuice9]

lets goo VNL reactions

[@chonasassl2558]

Love your T-Shirt in this video, Erik! Is this available for purchase?

[@kennexcamba2438]

Hi Erik! Glad you guys are back and happy to see you both made it to Tokyo! I was wondering if the guys fess up while waiting during block touch challenges?

[@joerimer_cq]

Erik, ask your teammates what shoes they like to wear for their positions.

[@musique-ef3rz]

U should do a collab with Dustin! Libero trouble make it double!

[@kaileysinko5933]

I wanna see a video of you trying to block and hit!!

[@jackma7224]

Yea Kawika!!

[@David-wu6pq]

Regards from germany🤗

[@disagreewitheverything1474]

Hey Erik! Loved the video as always. I’ve been getting pretty mixed opinions on this question from the internet, and I don’t really have a coach to ask, so I figured I’d shoot my shot. If a ball is coming slowly and you need to add power to get it to your setter, do you add power with your legs or with your platform/shoulders? In other words do you shrug your shoulders vs swinging your platform up vs standing up slightly from a squat?

[@svenplayer5777]

The older way of teaching would say you should generate the necessary force through your legs not moving your platform. The newer way would say you should move your arms to pass the ball because there is less chances to make a mistake if your legs aren’t moving. In the end you should try what is working best for you

[@butterscotchcat788]

u guys r so funny lmao

[@talesgabriel5389]

React to the final of VNL!!

[@harrychen2696]

Keeping on Olympic! Btw shoji you are so cute

[@serenah6214]

Just curious, why shouldn't there be technicals in the VNL?

[@sabasoh3828]

We miss you erik😍😍😍

[@adelahutessema2479]

Shoji I have two question for you what do you feel playing with your brothers. By the way you always are on time when on the court how? I really admire you for your passion and your act when your team scores point

[@jaypz7781]

love Kawika! where is Micah?

[@alexandraj.7026]

It’s funny you guys have a similar walk must be a brother thing 😆

[@jerichomendoza8883]

I’m personally wondering when will you make a video with Ben!😭 loveyaaa

[@OzzyTragic]

Hey Erik, why do you wear those sleeves? Have you ever done a video about your equipment? Shoes, pads, sleeves, etc?

[@jaslenemartin718]

The sleeves are for passing in volleyball, especially with the speed of some serve that can hurt your forearms so they’re meant to alleviate some pressure

[@melbamusni4282]

Wow so look both handsome good luck...🙏❤🙏

[@helwayasin7630]

Missing both of you

[@stellamarisyulitasoo6609]

"Shoji bro connectuon" ♥♥

[@Isbiq]

Welcome to ZAKSA Erik!

[@lilimicu7691]

i watched that game!!

[@TheHeninhardenne]

Erik could you please share some knowledge about rotations, why is libero defending 6 often instead of 5?

[@markthegreat3774]

Looking forward to another video with Taylor Sander 🙌

[@marie4519]

As a German... Of course sad that we lost but it was a great game.

[@damianoop3218]
