[@sarawest2779]

Yeah those saves are incredible. Maybe the US should make it legal in high school to play off the court like that. 🤔

[@iambean4724]

Im in my 4th year playing high school volleyball and I agree. I’ve seen so many opportunities to go off the court and continue the play. Where I am, we can’t go past the first step of the bleachers or past the bench area.

[@nanni5230]

@@iambean4724 We play it like this but our courts are so small that it's impossible to follow up

[@livi9304]

we can

[@sarawest2779]

@@livi9304 I an official for high school volleyball. So I guess it could depend on the rule set. In most gyms players have to play the ball before bleachers and benches.

"I think I would just give up on it" American team: We need to replace Erik Shoji

[@jdraws3537]

Libero: Makes a great play. Eriks Pen: "My time has come"

[@rochabs7825]

you know Erik is excited for the video when he runs out of things to throw away

[@MengEdits]

5:38 y'all lookin' at the amazing save, but- He stepped on the girls head hella hard ;o

[@Zismoisgod]

Anyone see at 5:35 that guy absolutely knocks someone over? The person appears to be ducking away but still

[@forme3h]

The liberos are the best to watch on the court, running, digging, and doing everything just to keep the momentum alive. Love it Erik. Just to let u know, you are an amazing Libero. Much Aloha!

[@potatoprsk]

They just took "don't give up the play" to a whole new level which is just 👏 as long as it's still up, and there's no whistle, just go go go 🔥

[@marcytumang8919]

Ive always considered LIBEROs as the "defense captain" of the team. They need to exert leadership in making sure that all the defenders are in their proper places and asking the blockers to block a certain way to give them ways to dig balls.

[@CaseCat]

Moral of the story: Korea's liberos are a whole different breed

[@veteranbalibolista8771]

liberos are damn the backbone of teams floor defense.

[@olliet9493]

"I need to find more things to throw!!!" I am shooketh lol

[@mrslickkRick]

I like how you say “Go, GO!” As if you’re in the game xD love it

[@brendano2322]

7:02 I totally thought he was going to Forrest Gump and hoof it out of the stadium.

[@vincebiagtan9285]

5:39 HE DIDN'T FALL AND (IT LOOKED LIKE) HE HIT ONE OF THE PEOPLE SITTING THERE!!!

[@mysteriesuniverse7684]

In Korea, I think most of the barriers are soft barriers on the shorter sides of the court. But the ones on the longer sides are made of a bit firmer ones.

[@rahmadhidayatullahsalam5167]

They probably changed the rule because they saw Nishinoya's leadership, hahaha Now libero can be a captain 🔥🔥🔥

[@miragowaikar98]

Lol his urge to throw things is hilarious

[@nashdiary1196]

Wow, libero can be a team captain now. ❤️❤️❤️

[@rheoster]

I love your reactions! I have started watching volleyballs but things happen so fast, it's still a bit hard for me to understand sometimes. Also, I noticed at 3:37 that the white team libero is clapping lol Love to see the good sportsmanship

[@ErikShojivolleyball]

Thanks for watching!

[@floramelendez702]

We love you Erik. You are the Best. Never change your Essence

[@Ottuln]

7:29 Eric is questioning his entire idea of what it means to Libero.

[@RoosLensselink]

5:40 did my man the libero just kick someone in the face while saving that ball??? great save though-

[@user-yu1cw6od6h]

Great job, LIBEROS! I appreciate you!! hugs🙂👍✨

[@AlcheonArt]

Oh shut up man, I've seen some of those compilations and you were in a lot of them too. You are just as good as them :D

[@theasim3355]

Dangg korean liberos are just a different BREED

[@osvaldocsilva9206]

Oh Shoji. Great saves you selected. Thank u. Love your chanel and your saves. You're the libero!

[@MrSnom-pd7gx]

Yay, we can finally become captains! And these saves are just incredible, all these liberos must've trained for so long!

[@putheo7745]

3:56 they. dodged. the notebook on the table.

[@nicolevanheerden4965]

The pen throws never get old

[@hrhktaka]

Man i still rmb when i was the replacement libero in hs (jpn) Our coach literally had a segment of training dedicated to jumping over things safely Edit: hOLY CRAP ERIK SHOJI NOTICED ME I CAN DIEHAPPY NOW

[@martalopes7951]

Wuuutt, im an outside hitter and super libero plays are definitely my favourite to watch!! These digs 🔥

[@renx3532]

LIBEROS CAN BECOME TEAM CAPTAINS NOW, LETS GOO 🤩

[@Saraa147]

I love your reactions, they are the same as mine as I watch the video too 🤣🤣

[@skalman5647]

I got interested in Volleyball after watching Haikyu but i thought it was exaggerated since its anime but now i see this.

[@theindoorkites]

Aside from the freak quick and some small dramatizations haikyuu is really accurate with the plays, positions and all the details lol. Volleyball is a crazy game

[@novamber88]

@@theindoorkites yep, many professional volleyball players in Japan said so too

[@KatieCooper258]

Those were ridiculous and insane saves from all the liberos!

[@mirandamendoza6430]

I’m living for these pen throws

[@abdoudjam6846]

Watching Erik's videos now that i cant play volleyball anymore is kinda good and frustrating at the same time ! keep up!

[@NUR-km1ji]

I appreciate your hardwork Erik (virtual hugs)

[@artanimeandothershtuff965]

so many of the saves were people running into/jumping over the barriers. it must be terrifying to be one of those people sitting right on the edge of the court lmfao

[@madisonh2984]

The 1 dislike is a dude who shanked his pass 😳

[@ChrisStargazer]

That dislike is from one of those spikers who *thought* they’d put the ball away until the libero chased it down saying, “not today, satan, NOT today!”

[@mikebenale7529]

Those were some amazing saves.

[@angelp2483]

Nice intro today and your right liberos are really cool like superhumans or heros

[@jinandjuice9]

proud to see my korean libero's with the hustle!!

[@lukesmiley2288]

I play volleyball and you inspire me so much thank you :)

[@AsianSensationist]

Erik Shoji for Captain America The funny thing is the reaction Erik is having is the same reaction I have when Erik makes a tremendous save look so easy

[@jxter500]

Korea has such talented liberos they are so into it XD

[@taniabogachova4247]

Erik, liberos are the most underappreciated in volleyball and that is sad giving the impact of the marvelous saves that they do directly contributing to the team morale. Liberos rock 😝

[@SilentNoodle]

I appreciate you erik

[@karenmiyake7591]

These saves are incredible!! They did backbends!😬 Love being a libero..most war wounds on the team!!

Erik, can you pls do a full reaction on Grebennikov and what makes him great. If you could do a series of libero videos where you break their games down it would be awesome. Brazilian fan here, thanks for the videos

[@bryronify]

I was actually waiting for your on the ground spike save that turned into a point.

[@sintayuniastuti300]

Erik you're so funto watch in the videos you've made. (.. and smhow freaking handsome too...lol)

[@MrMaffia1]

3:43 libero is Silver Maar

[@bernardpoupart]

I love how is started with the clip of Serginho a now retired player from Sada Cruzeiro, the club i support, he was considered to be the second best libero in Brazil for a long time just behind the other Seginho(the libero from Brazil national team), its funny how two of the best liberos of one of Brazil best generations, have the same name but one is legendary name of the sport.

[@jerichomendoza8883]

If only I could do those🙀 I often play libero but man these guysss!

[@butterscotchcat788]

you have the best reactions lmao

[@kritmanator712]

There shouldn't have been such rule not allowing a libero to be a captain. Thanks Erik for your fantastic channel. I really love your lively character in both youtube and games. Cheers from Thailand!

[@lukasrehfeld8777]

I mean captain is just a title, but it definitely does help if a libero could have that title if they have that captain energy

[@nicolevanheerden4965]

Was curious about what you were going to say about the FIVB changes hehehe Thank you for your videos! Each one makes me love volleyball morrrrreeee
