The name of the second episode is "Direct Sunlight" and it refers to the comment that Yachi made after she spent lunch tutoring Hinata and Kageyama. She said, "I feel like I was left out in direct sunlight." Remember Hinata's name is includes the character for "sun" (hi 日）and while his sunny personality is endearing, like the sun it can also be so intense it's painful for more introverted characters like Yachi or Kenma. So Yachi's reaction "I feel like I was left out in direct sunlight" means that she feels a bit like someone who's gone to the beach and stayed out in the sun too long: a bit dizzy, a bit woozy, a bit faint.

[@scarecrow_irl]

this was a really good explanation!!

Earlier in episode 1 Hinata learned that Ushijima plays for the Japanese U19 national team what have impressed him a lot. Because Ushijima is an official representative of his nation and Hinata is just too excited he simply calls him "Japan" 😄

In Ushiwaka's case though, he's actually not being cocky, he's just a natural airhead and speaks his mind frankly, and he has skills to back up what he says. Also, high school sports is really important and gets a lot of attention in Japan. High school baseball for example is similar to pro baseball in the US where it's broadcasted on TV and is watched nationwide annually as an event.

Yeah Ushijima is one of the top 3 spikers in Japan and was a part of the U21 Japanese team so that's the reason behind the "JAPAN!" scene. It's actually been explained before but Vic isn't that good with new characters so she either forgot or thought it didn't matter. It's fine but still gives the impression that she isn't that into it. Not that she isn't. She seems hyped for the show.

Hinata's nickname for Ushijima "Japan" is because he's an all japan national team pre player, which is basically a training camp that they recruit highschoolers for so they can train to be possible national level players after school.

If you notice the first words of this season "A high, high wall stands in front of me" is a reference to what he said on S1 EP1. Referring to the physical wall of blockers and how its hard for him to get past it because he is short. But also the metaphorical wall that he has to climb as he needs to work harder and put more effort than anyone else BECAUSE he is short. The story is beautiful because it emphasizes that volleyball is a team game and you are NOT alone, these people will help you overcome these walls. Haikyuu teaches us that even in life, when you have a lot of hurdles or tribulations that we are NOT alone and we can seek help. We do not need to break the walls ourselves but also it's on you to still put in the effort, work hard, so that one day you can see past it, high in the sky, flying above this 'wall'. Why I noticed that quote is because, that was the reason why I watched Haikyuu. First 5 minutes of season 1 episode ,1I was given such a poetic quote and was like daaaaaaaaaaaaaamn lash gooo, resonating with me personally as I grew up being the 'short, small, fragile' person that doesn't get selected for sports whilst having the competitive spirit that made me want to overcome such prejudice. I know you said you had some moments of mental issues and I often cringe when people tell me "it's going to be okay, i know how you feel" when I'm in those moods, but still truth of the matter is you got people around you who can help. Like tsukki :)

Especially Yachi-san is growing up as a novice "equipment manager" for Karasuno. The name of "manager" in Japanese doesn't mean a head coach or a field manager.

"Also this is my knee." Thank you Victoria. Thank you.

[@ITgirl-Marcela]

Hahah it was sooo random 😂I loved it🤣

[@aaimaumer6452]

The study scene in the club room with enoshita with a ruler always cracks me up idk why 😂😂

[@MelinChizu]

Victoria: Is his name Japan? Us: It's ok, you'll get that eventually. We believe in you, there there ♥

[@byusaranicole]

I love the pre-commercial clip (20:41) where Hinata is grabbing his hair and Kageyama is looking at his hands... Neither is blaming the other for the miss... They're focused on their own performance and thinking about what they can improve. I love how Hinata interacts with Shimizu... Like imagine you are a sophomore boy and a cute senior girl is talking to you. Lol! So adorable!

[@ahiggy583]

Who do you guys think her favourite character this season is going to be? :) I have a feeling she’s going to love Bokuto or Kenma :) SEASON TWO HARCORE HAIKYUU HOMIES LETS GO!! WOOOOO!!! 🎉

[@jeanlucknowles7644]

I think Bokuto or his setter who takes care of his mental health

[@ashuurrri_1290]

@@jeanlucknowles7644 Ooo Akaashi? Yeah I think she’ll like him too

[@GisamokanNa]

She already loves Kenma, though. She missed him last time in Season 1. 😄

[@addictedtoJB]

@Tablechair I was also thinking her but she doesn't have that many stand-alone moments later on in the season.

[@Melodymist]

Agreed, but I also think her love for Tsukki shall be reignited.

[@themagicpotato2943]

I'm so excited to see her reaction to the other new players we meet this season, especially a the owl who always goes "HEY HEY HEY!"

[@nikopayan8546]

My favorite line from Hinata got cut out in editing. Its when Hinata introduces himself and says hes from the concrete :(

[@notaname1332]

me too. Vic, why that be?

[@alzingafagan7501]

Aww She didn't hear Hinata's introduction after the catch. Ahh well I'll say it, "My name is Shoyo Hinata, from the concrete."

[@anayae7235]

I don’t think she got it but that scene is so iconic of the anime Oikawas favorite food is milk If ur gonna hit it hit it hit it till it breaks

[@seekittycat]

No it says his fav is milk bread, like Iwaizu mi lk bread.

[@anayae7235]

@@seekittycat srry but don’t get it ._.

[@girlinthewoods2059]

Ushijima, Oikawa, Kuroo all the big guys are actually third years. Just like Asahi and Daichi are fully developed third years. While Hinata and Kageyama are first years still going through puberty. That is why you see such difference.

[@isabelminerva8632]

Victoria, you don't have to worry about seeing a 'grown up' Hinata for now - everything that's been animated thus far is still within Hinata's and Kageyama's first year at Karasuno! So unless you decide to pick up the manga, you're in the clear for now.

[@sakusascurls1070]

What I love about those videos is that Victoria's reactions are amazing and so entertaining but have you seen the comment section?! You guys are hilarious! It always brightens my day!

[@angelicaalvarez9696]

Vic: I cannot handle a Shouyou that looks like a man! He's our baby child! Hinata in the last few Haikyuu chapters: 👁👄👁

[@CrimsnFang]

Hinata first saw Ushijima in a volleyball magazine when Ushijima joined the Japanese national team for under 19yo. So that's why he gave him a nickname Japan. Another awesome reaction, keep them coming!!

[@duskfadedtodawn]

WOOOOOOO SEASON 2!! Hi Victoria! I'm so glad we've made it to season 2! I was just curious though- there's an extra episode between seasons 1 and 2 that features Nekoma! It provides some insight on this season so it's your choice if you would want to react to it, but I just wanted to mention it as a heads up! Have fun, this is a great season just like the other ones!

[@moommooo]

Middle school in Japan ends in 9th grade actually, so by the time Kageyama and Shouyo went to Karasuno, both of them are 15 going on 16 years old. They graduadte after 12th grade so by that time they will be 17-18 years old. Basically Elementary 1st-6th grade Middle School 7-9th grade High school 10-12th grade

[@laughingjack6152]

Victoria: I'm listening to Japanese, looking at japanese words, reading the subtitles and comprehending then commenting this is very hard... Dont worry u just doing multi tasking😂

[@trelos7431]

Me who watch anime sub at a young age who can do this but bad at other multi tasking is this my power.

[@NgocNguyen-st4hn]

Hey Vic, Hinata called Ushijima “Japan” because he was chosen as a representative for the Japan team under 19. So it’s kinda funny how Hinata is impressed with it and called him Japan out of the blue (which was so funny if you rewatch it). I can’t wait for the upcoming episodes it’s gonna be epic already can’t wait until next week! Thank you for your hard work and yes you will be seeing everything that’s amazing and phenomenal. This I must say is such an important experience for them. Also I always called Tanaka, Takonga cause it’s so funny lol

[@myriamprevost6850]

Ushijima Wakatoshi, ''UshiWaka'' is the captain of Shiratorizawa also he is a candidate for the Youth team under 19 years old of Japan. That is why Hinata is yelling JAPAANNNN when he sees him. hahah Love it so much

[@irichkateamarante1645]

Victoria: *Talks about more mental health in sports* Season 4 intensifies😗

[@HamMeeko]

EARLY SQUAD RISE! Let’s go season 2! I hope you’ll enjoy this season as much as all of us do, thank you for your great content and taking time to make these videos for us🥰

I love Victoria and her little life lessons and advice she adds in the video. It truly helps whenever I’m feeling down! Thank you Victoria!!

No one: Me: Toru Oikawa’s Favorite food is milk break! 😄 his personal motto is “If your gonna hit it, then hit it till it BREAKS?!” 😭😭

[@annelisereilman8994]

yessssss. she needs to watch at least that scene in englishhhhh 😭😫

[@seekittycat]

/incomprehensible screams of excitement omg I love season 2 lets goooooo

[@bukar6199]

Hey, Victoria, I noticed that whether you pause the video and then resume, the playback seems to always skip, like, 5 seconds ahead and you can easily miss some stuff because of it. It might be something in your Netflix settings. Thank you for reactions, I'm really enjoying them!

[@user-io1ex3cw2b]

I've come to love the background music you use playing over the episode and the fact that you keep it the same is anchoring the sound to my enjoyment of Haikyuu.

[@thenerdytiger9306]

26:41 the birds are both parts of the names of the schools. Karasu means crow The kanji used to write shiratori means white bird

[@FabiolaPugliese]

Hi I am Fabiola from Italy and I'm a Libero! I've been following you since forever and I'm so happy you love Haikyu!! Can't wait for you to reach episode 8, you'll get to know more about Tsukki and why he's like that! I bet you're gonna cry hehe i did!!

[@siddhantgautam29]

About Ushiwaka, his name is Ushijima wakatoshi! He is a 3rd year so kinda looks big! He was in under 19 Japan team! (As seen in the magazine)! So when hinata saw him he just said what came to his mind "Japan" (He remembered him wearing the Japanese team jersey!)

[@siddhantgautam29]

Spoiler!! - - - - When she said talked about grown up Hinata! 🤐 And she also mentioned Hinata should meditate and stuff! Damn!!!

[@zeeistoolame]

I've been watching from the beginning of your journey in Haikyuu and honestly, I'm so proud of where you've progressed in terms of learning names and really understanding why people love anime so much! Thank you for the awesome reactions and keep up the great work!

[@mikuqho3513]

I love how she didn’t skip the opening and reviewed it to😂😂😂😂🔥🔥 Edit: *too

[@BIGORIBIGBIGBIG]

If you haven’t noticed, Kageyama, Hinata, Nishinoya, and Tanaka are all from class 1-3, while students with better grades like Tsuki, Suga, and Daichi are either from class 4 or class 5. The inspiration of Karasuno is Karumai High School. The school is not academically great in general (the average percentile of the college entrance exam is about 25 lol), but they put the students with good grades into “advanced classes”, where the average percentile would be above 50.

Hinata yoinking that ball after jumping higher than an Ace in the national top 3 is just goosebumps. Also Hinata telling him "If Seijo is bad soil: Does that make us concrete or something?" with his cat eyes all O.O ?
