FINALLY YAMAGUCHI'S MOMENT!! | *Haikyuu!!* S2 Ep 21 & 22 (FIRST TIME REACTION)

[@cartmantke]

I absolutely love Yamagucci's theme song when he is serving in this episode. It's called "A Former Cowards Fight" and is amazingly beautiful in an amazing soundtrack.

6:03 yes he was telling him to do a rebound like we saw Bokuto do but it's not easy to achieve especially if you are just going to try to spike through the block instead of rebounding😂 8:01 This was sooo cold!! He told them to receive off so that it would lure blockers 9:28 yes, there is even a two setter rotation but most don't use it for a full match, you'll think it may not be that different but you'd have to practice a lot to keep at that formation 9:42 Anyone can set the ball from anywhere (except liberos at the front, that's why Noya jumps before the attack line)it's better if you are talented enough to be trusted to do an emergency set (set done by a non setter either because the setter did the first touch or can't get there in time), what's illegal is who can spike from where (Liberos can't spike and players who are currently at the backrow can't attack from the front). You are right that you can't have two liberos at the same time though 10:14 Remember we have seen Kageyama receive, spike and block, he just usually doesn't do it because if not there wouldn't be anyone skill enough to set, in another team he could have more options. BTW, I think we have already seen Suga come in with Kageyama still in play, that's when Suga set and Kageyama spiked, either against Johzenji or Wakutani 10:50 Again, the ball touched the ground before Oikawa, that's incredible 11:25 They switch with Tsukki because he is one of the ones that sucks at serving (with Hinata) and at receiving (again Hinata🤣), while Suga's receiving isn't special it's much more consistant than Tsukki's, but most importantly he is subbing in as sort of a pinch server, his serve may not seem powerful but it has excellent aim, and putting it at a tricky spot is just as good of a serve as a strong one, one common tactic is forcing a player to recive a tricky serve (preferibly at least taking a knee like Mad Dog) so it's less likely that he'll attack, and defenders have less to worry about since the attack can be more predictable by taking someone from the equation the setter has less options. That and with his setting abilities there are more attacking possibilities for Karasuno, since Kageyama is rotated at the front, therefore he can attack from anywhere 23:29 if you look closely you realise Tsukki actually tries harder when Yamaguchi is in so that he keeps serving 24:23 Five concecutive succesful serves are really rare, even for a pinch server!! Yamaguchi is amazing. And receiving a spike from Iwa is another thing that's often overlooked (I feel that in the manga they showed much more the impact that ball had was astronomical for Yamaguchi) 29:54 I'm soooo happy!!! I'm tired of watching reactors not only failing to see the importance of Yamaguchi but even disrespecting him soooo much, and it's only because they don't understand the roll of a pinch server. I'm glad he has a fan in the reacting comunity, he is too pure, such a hardworking and good character 30:34 Again a great choice! Honestly you could say any character and I would understand. Even if it was Kindaichi or Kunimi for example, or in my case I love Iwa, I can't pick a favourite but I feel that in this match it'd be Iwa, maybe, it depends on the mood I'm in, but honestly, from the whole series I wouldn't be able to chose, and it's only going to get harder from here I reaaaaally suggest you read the manga, I promise every single detail is brought back and in the most satisfying (many times unexpected) way

[@monkut]

His name is Kyotani Kentaro, and rabies in Japanese is Kyoken-byo. kyo is like crazy and ken is dog. So Oikawa nicknames him kyo(tani) ken(taro), mad dog.

[@SxSReacts]

Woowww that makes so much sense! And here we thought he just got called that bc of his appearance 😂

[@ichiharikaa15]

Yamaguchi is also my favorite boy in the team. 🤭

[@andrewshields6641]

Dang, it’s as if I was watching it for the first time again with you guys!

32:40 This is....a mini spoiler I guess? Since you asked for it. Some of the teams we beat since S1 are gonna get some screentime; some are slice of life, some are watching Karasuno & explaining to us about vball, some are plot heavy. The most exciting comebacks of some characters we know (& will know) are in the last arc & epilogue...but not sure how they're gonna sell that if they're gonna squeeze 3 arcs in the finale movie.

[@linggafadlurazaq2900]

you guys really think karasuno could beat seijoh in two sets? Not a chance, oikawa's there
