The Benkei thing is hard to explain. But a kind of western comparison might be "Robin" to Ushiwaka's "Batman". Like a sidekick.

[@submandave1125]

This is the most succinct and clear explanation of the Benkei joke I've ever seen. Bravo.

[@TrianaNero]

The "Benkei" reference is rather funny - Benkei was a warrior monk, who at some point served a famous Japanese commander, Minamoto no Yoshitsune. The childhood name of the latter was Ushiwakamaru, containing the first kanji of Ushijima's first and last names. Also, during the starting players introduction you could see Asahi drawing smth on his hand - it's a way to calm yourself down: when you're nervous, you draw the kanji for a "person" (人) on your palm and then "eat" it.

[@danielvictorazeredo9841]

Ok, that about Asahi I had never get

[@BOLDcast]

Oh shit I heard about the Hito thing in pregame back in the day lol such a strange custom

[@omiku9103]

That's right! In Japan, "overwhelmed by people" is expressed as "swallowed by people." "Before being swallowed by people, I've been using it for a long time as a spell in the sense of" let's swallow people. " Write 3 times and swallow!

this reference was also made in kaguya sama s2 when mmiko lino was a bout to do the speech

[@nica7163]

We're all in for a treat. IMO this is the best Haikyuu season so far. Animation, storyline, characters arcs all in point!! Looking forward to u guys reacting to this

[@jazeroliversy673]

Man s3 is so good. It makes me so sad how season 4’s animation dipped so hard. In my time playing volleyball (for a pretty damn good team), the little flourishes and choices in how they animate the show are so realistic. The way Oikawa glances at his spikes before he sets, the way misrecieves are animated. It was all such a treat to see. The animators clearly understand the sport. In season 4 it was like the people animating ung knew nothing about the sport and just watched haikyuu. Hopefully season 5 will have animation as good as S3

[@termindterguta3514]

@@jazeroliversy673 wtf did I just read? If s4 animation is terrible then classroom of the elite is a masterpiece

[@jazeroliversy673]

@@termindterguta3514 have you seen the stills? Half the time the characters don’t even look like themselves. Let me put it this way, I can agree with you that S4 animation is not bad per se, it’s like average to good- whereas season 3 was phenomenal. I’m not sure if you know about animation, but I actually animate. In S4, the ball compression is done wrong, the character face and height is inconsistent- and what I can say as a volleyball player is some of the timings feel off/unnatural, the swing motions are way slower and draggier compared to the more compact and stylistic ones on previous seasons, and they are just taking like 1000 steps in their approach whereas it was way less in previous seasons and even less in real life where an approach would be anywhere from 2 steps in a pinch to like 3-6 steps with 6 being incredibly uncommon. Additionally, you can clearly see in the OVA and S4 that setter are just like standing without their hands up and look at the ball before they prepare to set. That is just so incredibly jarring to see for anyone who has played the game at a decent-high level. Like these supposedly national level players just have the mannerisms of rookies. I have never felt that way in seasons 1-3. I get that some people love haikyuu and will defend S4 to their graves, but cmon I love haikyuu too and it’s so plain to see that the animation dropped of a cliff.

[@jazeroliversy673]

@@termindterguta3514 also to make it simpler by means of food metaphors, s3 is fine dining, s4 is fast food -decent, tasty to a literal piece of gargbage. Like I didn’t even mention classroom of the elite or called it good or anything. Like honestly, I don’t wanna look down on your or anything but did you really feel that the S4 animation was that good? Did you feel that it was on par with seasons 1-3? Out of 10 how would you rate S4 animation? I would personally rate it like 5 or 6/10, just at the average mark as compared to S3 which is at a 9/10

[@TrianaNero]

Cheerleader bands at Japan's high school volleyball competitions (especially but not only national level) are absolutely insane. They often recruit other school clubs (say, the school orchestra) to participate. I remember feeling like I was going deaf at the stands at Spring High x)

[@alexfielding7191]

He is left handed so the spin on his spike is different to what Noya usually deals with especially with that much power on it, which is why he says "hello lefty".

[@panjipewe]

Bruh... They will know about when anime explain to them...

[@alexfielding7191]

@@panjipewe It was literally said at the end of the show but they didn't clock it, it's not a spoiler, it's something you normally pick up on.

[@laurainathunderstorm]

@@alexfielding7191 it's explained on the second episode I think, so it really wasn't necessary to mention.

[@alexfielding7191]

@@laurainathunderstorm It was made obvious this episode so saying it wouldn't spoil anything because it's common sense.

[@laurainathunderstorm]

@@alexfielding7191 oh no, I know it's not a spoiler, far from it actually. I'm just saying it would've been pointed out by the show anyway (not complaining about your comment don't worry).

[@francoliles189]

This is still my personal favorite match of the series. It just feels so Friday Night Lights. A true underdog match. And it introduces my second fav character of the series. Can't wait.

[@mad_max103]

there's some extra scenes from the movies that are like a few minutes long and i think that you should check them out because they're amazing you can find them all on youtube, just type haikyuu movies extra scenes especially that of seijho after the match in season 2

[@NaCl1572]

They've reacted to this, but it's posted exclusively on Patreon, though.

[@mad_max103]

@@NaCl1572 didn't they say OVAs? these scenes are from the movies

[@NaCl1572]

Most reactors all group them as OVAs, so I assume it's the same case with them

[@laurainathunderstorm]

They need to watch the one after this match too! I hope someone on Patreon tells them.

[@AllTheArtsy]

Omgg we're already here??? Let's go!!!!!

[@kelton8852]

The observation of Noya's receive is actually pretty cool. I haven't seen anybody really point that out.

HI-KA-RI AREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEYEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAHHH

[@Lari_A]

by the way, Tendo (Shiratorizawa's #5) has the same VA as Todo in JJK :)

[@BOLDcast]

Wait for real? They couldn’t be more different lol

[@JacopoBasanisi]

I remember thinking 10 episode is the perfect size for a season focused on one match. After all, 5 sets are like two matches, and it's a final, so it's the right amount of attention, I guess

[@lorovk9866]

Yessss Thank you guys for uploading new reactions ♥️😀 Waku waku

[@anaser-ramy1847]

Can't wait for the best moment of this season

[@hannijrch.5178]

For those who is still confused about Aoba Josai being the most complete team and Shiratorizawa being the most incomplete thing. Its a matter of addition and multiplication of plays. Aoba Josai is a master of multiplication of plays where they do feints, synchronized attack, quick in mid and more. In simple terms they have the best chemistry even though they don't have that "star" player (except Oikawa in the setter) vibe. While Shiratorizawa is an incomplete team because they're just a great team. They're a team with a deep squad but chemistry and many plays doesn't matter if you just "add" strength into your ultimate weapon, Ushijima.
