[@kri2101]

do not underestimate this arc. it's slow but SOOOOO important for the future. very excited for the rest

[@mzwethu3805]

It honestly didn't feel slow for me. Probably cause it was very entertaining. But I do understand

[@Garland41]

Weirdly, this arc has been my favorite of the entire show.

[@rendevera3134]

@@mzwethu3805 same!

[@DaniTessa]

@@mzwethu3805 Same, but for me I think it's because I was dying of cringe for the first few episodes 😂

[@akaza1623]

I do agree, this arc is the main reason why hinata is the best player in Japan.

[@jman593]

Hinata who once was almost too ashamed to say that he was a decoy , Now proudly shouting he is a ball boy

[@vee2253]

I love Hinata but the second hand embarrassment hits real hard here 😭 Still my fav season though!!

[@Angryegaroq]

I look forward to Suraj understanding concepts, character development, the most out of everybody. It’s like he JUST GETS IT. I know he’ll appreciate the journey Hinata is about to go on.

[@7daimeHokage]

It's because he is the one who (jokingly because of the comments) kept repeating that it is an character driven anime and they should learn to understand each of them. Before he knew it, it seeped in and now it pays off

[@Spirit529]

Tsuki and Hinata actually play the same position, they're both middle blockers!

[@TrianaNero]

It's true that the mangaka's original intent was to simply make more people interested in volleyball, but seeing just how much further from there it went is amazing

[@jaegerhibiki9753]

Slam Dunk was ljike that too. It went global

[@Khay-77]

This season Shoyo reminds everyone who the main character is.

[@august5457]

I think you guys are gonna enjoy this arc soooo much because of the impact this will bring to Hinata’s growth as a player.

[@rafiandanawari7038]

This arc has major character development for someone in the group just like tsukki in season 3.

[@ash-iu7gv]

honestly as skilled as Hinata is at spiking and jumping and blocking at times, he needs to develop his basic skills like receiving well and using his head to think more while in the game. this is only the start of his growth

[@crescentmoondriver4343]

That bike scene in the snow is still one of favs. But as someone who bikes to work and lives in Denver, I know that must’ve been all kinds of pain.

[@JeM130177]

Don't underestimate what it takes to be a ball boy 😈

[@moonchild_brooding]

y'all ain't ready for the rest of this season, i'm so hype for your reactions🔥🔥🔥I strongly agree with Micky - those yellow-green track suits are the hardest so far!!! btw, y'all are talking about my baby daddy from Itachiyama (institute that won 1st place in Tokyo region tournament) - Sakusa Kiyomi, this man has a chokehold on most of the fandom 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@Jais0910]

editor really did micky dirty like that smh

[@mlh1367]

The art style is what really changed. It’s completely different in the sense that they look more like athletes. They look a little older. It’s just like the manga which also changed art styles for the characters at this point. The animation changes are there but you don’t REALLY see them until the second half of the series

[@WonderAsh_]

so excited for you guys to react to this arc and season! this and s2 are neck in neck as my fav haikyuu seasons

[@lesterpark7539]

The payoff for this "ball boy" arc is amazing.

[@MegiMoon]

Beside Shiratorizawa coach, the other one comes from Johzenji. We know them as party team. That really unpredictible team.

[@usagiakileo]

This arc really challenged my fight or flight due to the second hand embarrassment

[@sandra_jim1729]

I can proudly say, I watched too many haikyuu reactions already that the secondhand embarrassment scene is nothing to me now😌

[@JeM130177]

Pat's probably gonna be bored for a bit but I promise y'all the pay off of this arc holy damn I might cry just thinking about it

[@G33KB0YW0ND3R]

The ending credits song is UNDERRATED

[@sneakymickey2410]

Sneaky Hinata, Embarrassed Tsukki, Elite Kageyama

[@Lolo-ji9xs]

And Translate to English for some reason

[@Tze52]

The ED for this season is one of my TOP 5 songs from Haikyuu.

[@kavhart]

"He aint no prodigy" hahahaha the whole growth of hinta this season is how talented he is but lacking experiences. its his first year playing competitive volleyball and he's standing out on a national level. This arc you see as his basic foundations and experience catch up to his top tier athletism and work ethic.

[@traceyedits]

my favourite arc!!! I definitely can't afford to buy the entire haikyuu manga, but i did buy volume 24 specifically because of this arc!!

[@azaka3720]

my favorite season!

[@pranjoshi]

Roll the character development arc🔥

[@siddhantgautam29]

Amazing reaction! 🔥👍

[@euphoria4013]

love this arc

[@aceofspade2120]

I wouldn't even say this is a slow arc. They are putting all of works building for the future episodes in. If you don't pay attention to it, stuff later won't make sense

[@noona9193]

Finally season 4!!! I was waiting and it's gonna be so good one too 😍 I'll miss nikie and marketa tho

[@nkosi2live]

shiratorizawa is still in Nationals. They won the fall regional tournament which makes them eligible for nationals. They didn't have to play in the spring tournament if they didn't want to.

[@shivamwagh22]

S4 ending is one of my fav

[@LoveYamachan]

Whoohoo! Here we go!!!

[@manuhegde6390]

I know it starts off slow....but I think you are all gonna love it at the end.............

[@ohhdamn123]

I think they changed the art style a bit. Also, this was produced during lockdown as far as I know and the animation in some episodes is… not that good, lol. Great season, though.

[@semen1367]

Come on plz post haikyuu reactions more often its total hell to wait for it 😭

[@jaegerhibiki9753]

Legend of the ball boy begins!

[@dimsrandom]

Will watching lots of anime series make you enjoy it? do you focus on the storyline or just enjoy the animation, for the admin what anime is your main focus?

[@yeukioryn]

GUYS THIS IS THE BEST HQ OPENING IDC ITS SUCH A BANGER

[@thorneyquins8780]

Can you guys react to castlevania series?

[@JeM130177]

We love and respect Bowl Cut Jones in this house

[@Darkus16]

amazing arc

[@rihamrizvi8791]

Make sureeee u pay heavy attention to the words and events in these couple episodes....they are cruuuuucialllll for the rest of the season

[@MrBaba55baba]

Season 4 ep 16 is the best ep of whole haikyu series mark my word.... ❤️

[@theharrisonpeyton]

Great reaction guys!

[@victorly988]

ya'll made it!!! lets gooo!! lol

[@QiscCastle]

Prateek: Negoma Rana: Nekoma! Prateek: NIGGA MA!!!

[@jonathanrobinson198]

I am kinda surprised they can’t tell the animation difference.

[@MrBaba55baba]

This arc is most important ..its also called arc of charector development..

[@aubryellaotero1064]

I FORGOT WE GET THE TWINS THIS SEASON!!! LOVE THE BOYS 😭😭😭😭😭

[@MichaelaEvans]

The animation is amazing as always. But did you guys notice that the character designs are different (thicker outlines, sharper eyes, etc.)? I wanna know your thoughts on that cause personally I miss the old designs.

[@Shugoshin9720]

I believe the animation team is smaller and different for this season in comparison with the previous seasons. They waited a LONG time for manga to accrue chapters. S3 came out in 2016 and S4 came out in 2020. The studio has other projects that take time during this period and things just usually happen constantly with animation studios. They still show out for the big moments this season but they do cut a few more corners than they would have previously due to the greater limitations with this animation team. They also had to shut down for a bit due to covid, and outsource an episode (you’ll know it when you see it) bc of the shutdown. They did redo the character designs, not so much but I believe they did it to be more accurate to the manga design. Overall I don't hate this season any less. It’s still great.

[@cloudunderweather9554]

TBH this training arc is kinda brilliant as set up for the future.

[@laluprasanth]

Hi , can I know where you got that haikyuu character dolls that you have with you Thanks and reaction is dope as always I will really like to buy the dolls you got so please Inform

[@dineshp5203]

I still don't know understand how nishinoya didn't get into the U-19, is it because of his jump float weakness?

[@sunderrajd7202]

Hinata feared of Takeda sensei.. Bcs he sensed the Levi personality from Takeda..

[@d_anggunn]

3:44 We all want that aswell (if you know what i mean)

[@chogiwhy7472]

7:35 I can't hahahah Pat is so funny

[@SadicDarkAngel]

I always felt strongly against coach Washijo because I felt he was just wanted Hinata to suffer, but now I'm up to date with the manga (to this arc) and I see him differently. Since Shiratorizawa lost to Karasuno I believe he is one of the ones who wants to see him improve to the best of his capacity. In a really harsh way? probably but still wants to see him keep flying.

[@boxingdegenerate9077]

He literally allowed him to stay even though he wasn’t supposed to be there. And everything he said was correct. Hinata at the time wasn’t a skilled player without Kageyama, Hinata himself is painfully aware of this. The only thing negative I can say about Washijo is that he was initially petty and sort of jealous of Hinata. But as you said in the final arc he was his biggest fan pretty much. “No one has higher expectations of Shoyo Hinata than I do.”

[@SadicDarkAngel]

@@boxingdegenerate9077 Yeah, As I entered the Ball boy arc and the next ones I came to realize that. An that phrase?! Ufff it felt so good when I read it.

[@neku016]

People underestimating the ball boy arc. Prepare to get burned

[@TheWorks27]

Why does Pat say “Nigga-ma” for Nekoma 🤣🤣

[@fireice0]

sad, no intro scene of Sakusa (the rarest breed in this series)

[@ridwandhiyaurrahman7157]

finnally

[@glorious77iguana2]

non volleyball player may be bored from the first four episodes or so, but for a volleyball player and nerd like me, its just a jems of episodes.

[@Zoro-tf5zs]

Well the coach did changed Hinata's life.

[@lennonmcharrison7176]

Season 4!! The season where we can see the best captain in this series, KITA SHINSUKE!!!

[@mesuur.]

have you guys reacted to kuroko no basket before? It's really good

[@EliteGeno]

Wait, who is first on the backboard? Who participated?

[@Kim-qd1mn]

Why yall skip where kageyama meets sakusa?

[@thorneyquins8780]

Is it possible that you can react to castlevania series? Its a netflix show...

[@LeGiTBeAsT223]

hinata got disrespected. he gonna show em all soon

[@vishalkumar-yy3ls]

Why cut sakusa part?

[@taufikhaniff]

Watch the ova broww

[@pankilpanwala4071]

Why haven't reacted to Kuroko's Basketball?? Or Slam Dunk a classic in sport genre...

[@Leleominator]

Haikyuu season 4 had an outsourced team of animators in some episodes (money and pandemic to blame). Focus on the plot and you'll be ok.

[@goonygobbler2000]

Can you guys react to Sonic Movie 2

[@JeM130177]

Hinata actually really annoyed me when I first watched the start of this like it's funny and in character but I was like damn get out your ass 🤣🤣🤣

[@projectomnia1997]

You can tell how little competitive nature is in you guys, Pat may be an exception but he was quiet in regards to this. Hinata's frustration at not being invited to either camp is what being competitive at its HIGHEST LEVEL looks like, those types of people are built different. You aren't wrong in the things you're saying, but to someone who is competitive to that degree they are just excuses for why they aren't where they want to be and competitive people don't accept or believe in excuses.

[@katara2021]

The writer's gender isn't actually known btw.

[@Zoro-tf5zs]

Why would they invite ushiwaka for under 15 camp that men has alredy played under 19 🙂

[@Nomadxcvii]

To be honest why didn’t the coach invite Hinata in the first place? Apparently, I read somewhere that Hinata was recommended to be part of their training but the coach overruled it. He saw a lot of potential with him but never wanted to aknowledge it and he’s been downplaying his skills ever since his team played against Karasuno simply because of his height. Hinata had enough potential to be a part of the training camp but he was never given that opportunity. I’m glad he showed up though. It was embarrassing but his heart was in the right place 😂 I haven’t cried watching Haikyuu since they lost to Aoba Johsai but this season made me cry

[@apppletreee]

I remember the other Shiratoraizawa coach saying that he wanted Hinata, but was overruled. I don't remember which episode though.

[@kingragnarok7302]

Cause without Kageyama to set him, he isn't that good of a player.

[@ICavalcadeI]

That coach who wanted to recommend Hinata is still green behind the ears. Because he sees Hinata as this high flying acrobat, he's fooled into believing that Hinata is a good *volleyball player* and not just a good athlete. That's why coach said he sees no value in Hinata without Kageyama because he's basically a liability without him. The only reason Hinata is even a starter is because of their quick attack, which only works with Kageyama.

[@ICavalcadeI]

Also I think that coach wanted to teach Hinata that it's not enough to just *want* it. Short players have nothing given to them. You have to find other ways to become competitive and to fight. He couldn't hack it as a player, so he turned to coaching. Hinata will have to find his own way as well.

[@DeskIsUndead]

@@kingragnarok7302 This is what i was gonna say. Hinata is nothing but an below average player. Him with Kageyama tho he becomes a much better player (for the team). And its not just because he can hit the quicks, its because of him being the decoy. He isnt a great defender, cant recieve well, cannot serve at all, and really only has basics in spiking.

[@gavinzhou3168]

:)

[@elissonfarias3918]

sometimes I think they don't understand Hinata character

[@darkshonen4096]

Pls kuroko no basket

[@tybw9108]

Normies please start reacting bleach till new final season dropps there is 366 episodes but half of it is fillers so you can skip it please upvote this guys 🙏❤

[@lfcreations902]

[@7daimeHokage]

[@liljt3536]

Not watching till the dub comes out

[@Dimabased]

N****oma ? I seee lmao

[@Nxrth2001]

This arc is slow but there is so much ambition on one side and pain on the other side and you will watch our duo independently for a while.
