Olympic Volleyball Player Reacts to Haikyuu!! S4E15: "Found"

[@SarahPavanVolleyball]

Yamaguchi and Shimada for life! 💕

[@Neonloverx]

the animations gonna get a whole lot wonky in the next few episodes. so be ready

[@Dechral]

one of those standout moments from the show I will never forget! Thx for sharing your reactions Sarah, they are always great!

[@Ozai75]

The "TADAAAASHI! TADAAAASHI!" Moment gets me every single time I watch it. It's just so powerful.

[@nightjoker4628]

@@Neonloverx Animation only gets better after this episode.

[@Kuoncchi]

This match is a true masterpiece. I hope it will become your favourite season!

[@seekittycat]

I love how Shimada isn't a paid coach or anything, just an adult who saw a kid who needed help and will sprint across the stadium and hold up a shopping bag for him 🥺🥺. I love them

[@araragisenpai4088]

This is peak mentor attitude you'd want from your own

[@milkntomatoes9418]

Actually, neither is Ukai. That's why he has to work early morning or late night shifts at Sakanoshita Shop. In Japan, the system is to assign the coaching of a sports club to a school faculty member/staff. Takeda, who is a literature teacher at Karasuno High, gets paid to coach bcos it's part of his job as a teacher there. But Ukai isn't employed/hired by Karasuno High. Some schools especially powerhouses hire coaches from outside the school (even Olympians or famous foreign players or coaches), but Karasuno High clearly doesn't have the budget (they even have to rely on donations to afford going to practice matches in Tokyo) That's why Takeda is technically the head coach and is the only one allowed to call timeouts to the referees during official matches. You can rewatch the entire series and see that every time they call for a timeout, it's Takeda who signals to the referee and never Ukai. In short, Ukai is an amazing human being who spends hours at Karasuno coaching and training the boys, plus prbly hours at home doing research and planning strategies and plays, all without getting paid a penny for it. P.S. It's hinted that Nekomata actually works for Nekoma High, altho it's not clear if he's a regular faculty member or paid exclusively to coach the volleyball team. Nekoma is a powerhouse, and judging by the fact that they have their own bodytraining gym in the school, the school is probably rich enough to afford to pay an exclusive coach.

[@AlquimistEd]

Everyone needs to find that person that will hold up a shopping bag for them. 🥺

[@kaida_mtd]

I've literally already watched this episode and it made me cry again

[@OmiOmislysolofficial]

​@milkntomatoes9418 you're right, Nekoma is called 'Nekoma Metropolitan' or sumthng like that and they do showcase here and there hints of being a well-funded school having private gyms & such whereas schools like Fukuroudani, Itachiyama & Shiratorizawa are probably privates or elite institutions (Fukroudani Academy, Itachiyama Institute, Shiratorizawa Academy(?))

[@Nathahollic]

Osamu doesn't trust Atsumu as a brother, but he definitely trusts him as a setter.

[@vdinh143]

Yeah he was refuting Aran's comment on their brotherly synergy. He has absolute confidence in Atsumu's ability but that confidence definitely does not come from being his brother.

[@OmiOmislysolofficial]

Ohhh he trusts Tsumu deep, deep, very deeeeeep down inside all the cobwebs & fortress (except maybe when it comes to trusting Tsumu with his food) 😂 it's just.... siblings yaknow?

[@cuongquoc5877]

The biggest difference between Oikawa and Atsumu without spoiler is their insecurity. Oikawa has been dealing with his insecurity his whole life since he met Kageyama while Atsumu is extremely proud of his ability, he never has any insecure about his skill or talents like Oikawa.

[@heatxtreme9261]

I would say ushiwaka also contributed to oikawa’s insecurities too, while having a big wall that he can’t overcome no matter what in ushiwaka and someone so talented like kageyama chasing after him at such pace that it seems he would overtake him at anytime, he was basically getting cornered from both ends

[@unknown_individual7050]

📍 🔨 . The payoff in the second aoba johsai match was so good because we got to see someone who isn't technically a genius like Atsumu or Kageyama shatter his limits and break his own cool and calm persona to dig deep and find the will to fight for a spot at the same table as the geniuses.

[@lazysean5418]

Atsumu was actually have huge insecurity too in the past actually its just Osamu was aware of it and handle it like an adult

[@tims3329]

@@lazysean5418 Yeah like they say in a future episode *spoiler* Atsumu's greatest strength isn't his volleyball skills, it's that he has a twin who is his equal in stubbornness and (was) willing to put in as much effort. Their rivalry to each other is what developed them as both players and as people. Osamu resolved to care about what others think, and to pay attention to them. Atsumu.. well he didn't change much, he's a volleyball junkie.

[@submandave1125]

I don't know if I'd call Oikawa insecure about his skills as much as he's painfully aware of their limitations. The flashback to his conversation with his dad gave us insight to the honest self awareness and discipline Oikawa's been facing and playing with every day. He knows he isn't as naturally gifted as many others, Kageyama certainly included, but his super power is his ability to compensate for this by careful attention to what he has and polishing those to the max.

[@josephocenada]

7:22 He's the National/Olympic Coach. He introduced himself during Kageyama's Training Camp. We'll be hearing lots of great commentary from him.

[@SnailHatan]

[@cozydaydreamss]

Oikawa also appreciates people’s abilities and talent. He had hundreds of inner monologues praising Hinata, Kageyama, Tsukki and the rest of Karasuno. He just has too many insecurities holding him back from saying these appreciations out loud to the people that has these talents. And it breaks my heart. Oikawa is my bby 🫶🏼♥️

[@Virgil_Hawkins]

It’s great seeing someone mention inarizaki’s coach, because I really appreciate their coaching style. He’s always encouraging the team’s risky play style, but still giving constructive criticism when necessary

[@SarahPavanVolleyball]

He's like the complete opposite of Washijo and his team responds to him so well!

[@Virgil_Hawkins]

@@SarahPavanVolleyball exactly!

[@oEllery]

25:50 Asahi is trying to change up the timing on his spike so that he can hit the blockers when they're on the way down, but he messed it up and accidentally tipped the ball. He was also working on this during the practice games against Dateko. Bokuto noticed what Asashi was attempting to do. He was actually praising Asahi for attempting new things in the middle of an intense match, even after already coming way further than anyone expected Karasuno to ever make it. (It's explained better in the manga, but as a lot of people pointed out, this episode has a ton of cut material)

[@locomojoboy2]

Thank you for holding her hand and explaining this to her. Now she knows exactly what she can expect to see from Asahi when they’re in the final stretch of this match and when they need him the most. Good job

[@TimothyGod]

​@@locomojoboy2 this literally isn't a surprise. This was established earlier relax

[@Kuhrmee]

I always tear up during Shimada's scream: "Tadashi!". Sometimes, often times, we just need a mentor, a teacher like Shimada who will change our lives for the better. We all should be so lucky.

[@aprilwoods92]

not related to the episode, but i just want to list some fun trivias about our karasuno boys! 1. Daichi: 2nd biggest eater in the series, as an adult he's the strongest drinker in karasuno, Daichi was created based on a person that the author really admired. 2. Suga: was voted as "the best dresser", Favorite Food: Super Spicy Mapo Tofu 3. Asahi: had cosplayed as Jesus, owned a pet dog 4. Tanaka: has really good hearing, favorite food: melonpan 5. Nishinoya: 3rd biggest eater in the series, according to Tanaka, the only type of movie Nishinoya will watch is over-the-top action, where he usually yells in the excitement in the middle of the film. 7. Kageyama: youngest member in karasuno, favorite Food: Pork Curry with Soft-boiled Egg 8. Yamaguchi: has taught Tsukki of jump floater some time during Season 2 9. Tsukishima: 3rd smallest apettite in the series, favorite food: shortcake 10. Ennoshita: he used to be #3 until Asahi and Nishinoya returned. 11. Kinoshita: favorite Food: Red Ginger 12. Narita: ge is the oldest second-year on the team, favorite food: egg sushi

[@SarahPavanVolleyball]

This is the best!! What about Hinata??

[@perevision]

@@SarahPavanVolleyballHinata really likes runny egg over rice and his dream is to be able to hold on to the volleyball one-handed cos he thinks it looks cool

[@QAQhahaha]

The most annoying blocker that Hinata think in one-on-one is Seijo's Matsukawa😂😂He's good at funneling (I know a lot of people don't even know his name

[@hachi1404]

I could not help bursting into laugh as Sarah was too cute😍when she said "Sorry" to Saeko for her "no sighing" @13:21 & when she replied "hai!" on behalf of Hinata @15:48. Great reaction as always. Sarah's English is always comfortable for me to train my English listening. Her way of talking is so clear and goes with proper speed. Well...Osamu's hunger has started from this point. I can't wait for the rest of the game!!

[@jediburrito]

I love how they portray Yamaguchi. It really goes into how much of pinch serving is mostly a battle of nerves.

[@SarahPavanVolleyball]

I have MAD respect for pinch servers. Coming into a match at a critical moment, cold, is so tough.

[@dnkewlfe9043]

this is why this is my most rewatched series there are plenty of other media I adore but you really get to see how all the pieces are specifically set up for satisfying payoffs later on during Haikyuu rewatches/reacts! even the little detail of Shimada handing Yamaguchi a ball when they first met during that episode with the neighborhood association in season 1 makes the whole story more colorful and cohesive & I'm loving that you're getting to be fond of inarizaki omg next week's episode is going to get you good

[@dnkewlfe9043]

btw I'm sure you have plenty of suggestions for other animes to watch BUT I'd like to throw in Yuri On Ice, Chihayafuru, and Skip and Loafer. they're all works of art!

25:43 is always the best laugh in haikyuu 😂

[@marionjedortiz9291]

Tsuki's laugh is the best🤣🤣

[@tinathena17]

cute lil tsuki laugh😂

[@Revaiel_]

Remember, when Oikawa first saw Hinata’s spike, it made him smile, and he complimented them after the practice match. He also acknowledged that Kageyama had better technique than him.

[@darwinray7394]

If I remember correctly this was the episode that was really rough for production, they had people working from home, outsourcing with contractors, they ran into a snag with funds but they managed to get the episode out in time... and lots of people hated on the episode for the drop in fidelity which kind of sucks because at lesst in my mind I really appreciate the Haikyuu team working hard like that to get episode out. Anyway... thats the end of that, the rest of this season is the absolute best! Let's go! 🎉

[@SarahPavanVolleyball]

to be completely honest, I am so invested in the storyline that I didn't even pay attention to the animation quality. I've seen so many things that just rip this episode apart, but I was so focused on other things that it didn't affect me at all!

[@fullmoon3128]

It's interesting how Atsumu surprises with Kageyama's change because his words actually the one inspired that. This is also proves that Atsumu doesn't really mean anything when calling Kageyama goody two-shoes

[@Kim-ng4ti]

Yeah, he had no intention in saying it, it was basically just an observation. He expected him to be prickly but he was actually a good boy😂 Like you said, that's why he forgot he even said it because he just said what he was thinking in that moment. It's cool that this one thing he said had such a major impact and is brought up even late in the manga again😂

[@FrozenByul]

I’m gonna bet that Sarah might cry couple more times before this season ends coz I probably cried more than five times 😅. I felt that emotion with Shimada screaming Yamaguchi’s first name! Omgosh! A good thing I waited for this vid before sleeping. Best birthday gift ever! 🎉 great vid Sarah!

[@SarahPavanVolleyball]

I've recorded ahead a few episodes.... "might cry" is an understatement

[@tadanobukatsu99]

I'm glad that you got to see more Atsumu's personality and liked it! In this episode, I love how Hinata was getting more into do things outside of offenses, he's learning and trying new things while playing match against 2nd place team in the last interhigh is crazy And you might notice that Asahi tried to do his new move that he's been practicing too but it didn't work this time, Bokuto noticed that so that's why he said how come Karasuno is still dare to do new stuffs after coming this far EDIT: I hope you can read the manga too once the show finished, especially for the last 2-3 episodes including this ep, since the manga artwork is incredible but unfortunately the anime didn't do justice this time (of course I know it's because of pandemic and everything that they had to do outsourcing using a foreign company, but still 🥲)

[@SarahPavanVolleyball]

I love that Karasuno is still growing despite this being the culmination of their season. They are willing to take risks and try new things despite feelings of discomfort or pressure. It's amazing.

[@cooliceprincess2641]

Fun fact, 'Aran' is the Japanese pronunciation for Alan/Allan, so you can call him that!

[@HazrulNizamSidek]

This should be pinned!!

[@therumbling4473]

Are you sure? Cause Aran is an actual japanese name

[@cooliceprincess2641]

@@therumbling4473 (Spoiler for Sarah) I think it can be both, because at Aran and the twins' flashback, the twins pointed out that Aran has a foreign name, thought it was cool, and then tried to make their own names sound western. It really only works on Osamu XD (Samu --> Sam). Aran is heavily implied to be of mixed descent, and his parents might find a consensus in giving him a name that can fit both cultures simultaneously. That's just a theory, though. I don't find anything on his parental background in the wiki.

[@linh_tran93]

Atsumu serving after Karasuno's point might be because they skipped showing some points there? I don't really remember how it was exactly in this match but they usually don't show every play or every point scored. They also crammed 7 chapters into this episode (it's usually 4 or 5) so there must have been things that was cut (like Shimada realizing Yamaguchi was having trouble and he sprinted all the way to the other side to show him that image)

[@SarahPavanVolleyball]

Fair. The best servers just ALWAYS seem to be serving

[@kriztala36]

When you read the manga, you can see the real effort of shimada in helping yamaguchi, imagine he runs from one side of the bleacher to the other side. And he put the tablet inside the plastic bag for yamaguchi to see the reset. What a great discpler/mentor shimada is.

[@AshesXOfXOblivion]

When I tell you I have been waiting for you to get to episode 16 for so long, I am SO excited for next week. Also yamada and Yamahachi’s student/teacher relationship is so heartwarming, I love it

[@gemthemage]

highlight of this episode for me was tsukishima laughing when ashashi accidentally tipped XD

[@khushir6340]

At 7:45...when the national coach says that...I was hit by a ton of bricks... because I had never imagined any other combo other than kageyama and hinata...but this statement made me so excited for the future...Maybe Hinata and Atsumu on the same team or something... But no reactors seems to be thinking so much about this...Am I the only one!?

[@gobluebro]

Hey Sarah, at 25:31 when asahi goes to hit the ball, he is trying to hang in the air a little bit longer like he has been practicing. As you saw it didn't go exactly how he wanted. But you can tell that this is what he is going for if you listen for the sound effect at 25:31. I'm not sure how to describe it but it sorta sounds like pulling leather? almost sounds like some sort of moving root of a tree that video games would use. I know these aren't perfect descriptions but you get that point. If you listen for this sound effect you can tell that he is going for this longer hang time hit.

[@tinyblossom]

Great description of the sound effect! Callback to the practice match against Dateko-he kept missing, and Kageyama yelled at him. But at the end of the practice match … he cocks his arm, leather pull sound effect, he hangs in the air, Aone grunts in dismay as the blockers sink, and Asahi scores. This time tho … oops.

[@locomojoboy2]

Thank you for holding her hand and explaining this to her instead of let her discover this on her own. Now she knows exactly what she can expect to see from Asahi when they’re in the final stretch of this match and when they need him the most. Good job 👍🏿

[@karabomasibi2331]

I am so happy to learn that smaller but skilled players can win jousts. I always thought it was over in that situation for someone like Hinata, I guess he just lacks experience

[@minsungseungmin]

My one and only complaint so far with anime vs. manga... I wish they had shown how Shimada instantly noticed what was wrong with Yamaguchi and SPRINTED around the arena so he could get to a place Yams could see him. I love their mentor/student bond.

[@daverowe03]

This is why I LOVE watching your reactions! You always know what is coming next. The fact that you talked about the middle saying we haven't seen what he can do yet. Of course we will!

[@xten93]

The part at 8:15 when Sarah explained about what other teams are going to do was spot on Oikawa hahahaha I hope it will be on the upcoming 2 movies of Haikyuu.

[@tinyblossom]

I love these tiny bits over the last couple of episodes where we see Hoshiumi (the Elf 😂) closely watching Hinata. And, on occasion, expressing some (grudging) admiration.

[@JiyutoSeigi]

I also like the Inarizaki coach (31:31)! But that's for reasons you'll discover at the start of episode 22. I almost cried, and you might too. I'm really excited to be watching this with you!

[@tealeuphorie]

The way Sarah looks at Yamaguchi like a proud mom during his walk up 😊

[@elisabethn2893]

we're all proud mums when it comes to that boy ;;w;;

[@girish2754]

Great reaction as always. I guess the comments section will be filled with "National/Olympic Coach" (7:22). I really enjoyed the back and forth between Hinata and Tsukki and Tsukki's laugh at 25:44 is so satisfying 😂. Love the support Yamaguchi got from his mentor.

[@Rhodair]

Tsukki's laugh there is one of my fav giggles - it's like he's equally laughing at all the court opponents and Asahi's guilt, just eating up the moment

[@SarahPavanVolleyball]

It's so weird to see him laugh like that 😳 The Shimada/Yamaguchi relationship has me

[@tkoyama010]

Not only Yamaguchi but also Alan does the routine before serving. I really like his ball dribbling routine with keep his body low. He is one of the top five aces in the country, but what he values is exactly the same as Yamaguchi.

[@SarahPavanVolleyball]

The straight-arm crouched bounce. Great control.

[@freshsmilely]

a small note that sometimes gets over looked is that you can see hinata wanting to be on defense more than offense. i think its what iwa said "im glad i learned to dig" hinata is slowly becoming an all around volleyball player instead of just an offensive machine.

[@rendevera3134]

I compete in pool / pocoet billiards tournaments here in the Philippines quite a bit. And that reset trigger thing that Yamaguchi uses? I adopted that and it has helped me quite a bit in pressure situations.

[@kamson8172]

For me personally I think the author changed Atsumu's personality after Youth Camp. I mean the author himself said that the "twin" thing just added after that camp cause he wanted to create twin character. So he turned him into "hot-headed" character and create "cold" character for Osamu.

[@bdylp1098]

Like everyone else, I love the Shimada-Yamaguchi mentor-student relationship & that giggle from Tsukishima.😊 Just adding my support & leaving my personal opinions about some of the wonky subs as usual: 6:48 ｢稲荷崎、今度は本家を封じた！」→ "Inarizaki just shut down Karasuno's main attack!". This should be more like "& now, Inarizaki shut down the original!". The announcer is calling Kageyama-HInata weirdo quick the "original" & saying that right after Atsumu/Osamu copied it, they went & shut it down as well. Their translation making it seem like the announcers think that K-H weirdo quick is Karasuno's "main attack" that exceeds even the ace isa bit "off" as well. 13:53 「これ、絶対白鳥沢ん時より高いじゃん！？」→ "This is definitely higher than the ones from Shiratorizawa!". While this seems to be OK, that "ones *from* Shiratorizawa" is kinda misleading. The line is more like "This is definitely higher than how it was during the game with Shiratorizawa". Suna is comparing Tsukishima's highest reaching point from the Shiratorizawa match to now, but the sub can be taken as Suna thinking that Tsukishima is higher than anyone on Shiratorizawa. 18:11 ｢チャンスは等しくない」→ "I don't stand a chance". Not fond of this translation. ｢等しくない」is more like "not equal", so Kinoshita is just making an objective observation & saying that his personal skills are not on par with the Inarizaki guys' (thus the "chances of beating the other" is "not the same"). Their translation, however, makes it sound as if Kinoshita believes he has zero hopes of going up against them &/or even that he's given up from the start.

[@TazControl9]

Thank you so much for your content! When I watch sports anime I always wonder what pro athletes in those particular sports would think about the portrayal in the show. I'm happy to know you love the action and the characters as much as I do! And your insights to the technical aspects are quite enlightening as well.

[@sabbliz]

Nice reaction and discussion!

[@milkntomatoes9418]

I really don't understand why ppl would comment things in defense of a character when there's still nothing much shown about them. Isn't one of the charms of watching these reaction vids to see how Sarah experiences the whole thing with a fresh perspective? The novelty is lost when ppl say things like, "don't worry, he's actually an amazing character you'll love" even before they show the reason why the reactor might love them (and honestly it's sort of a spoiler bcos then you know the character gets redeeemed or fleshed out at some point)

[@Virgil_Hawkins]

Literally this, it never makes sense to me, because it can affect the first time viewing experience

[@milkntomatoes9418]

@Virgil Hawkins Yeah, going from disliking what seems like an antagonistic character to loving them always feels better when you experience it through the story with fresh eyes

[@cookiemonster6468]

Exactly, man... I think these people need to take a chill pill and enjoy the process. Her reactions would be even more wholesome if they stop... kinda spoiling... by getting so defensive about certain characters. Besides, I'm sure that most of us didn't like Tsukki, Oikawa, Atsumu, etc. when we first saw them. I know I didn't. Double standards much?

[@milkntomatoes9418]

@Cookie Monster Yeah, I went from really being pissed off at Tsukki to loving him so much I have his plushies and stuff, and I think it helped a lot that nobody spoiled me. The story writing makes it so that you fall in love with each character at just the right time anyway. Part of the fun of watching is exactly when that dislike turns into adoration or respect, or at least empathy

[@OmiOmislysolofficial]

For what you said abt Atsumu - DEFINITELY. Like some commenters said before - Tsumu's the linda guy who wears his heart out for all to see, is jerk-ishly honest, but he doesn't lie with what he feels. If it's good he'll say it straight, and if it's bad he'll also throw it on your face. I'm sorta envious for his ability to express things (not the jerk aspect of it tho lmao), but he has the base to say what he wants (in regards to volleyball, at least) because he does the very damned best and knows he puts every bit of effort & care to his skills, so yes he expects the same of his teammates. THAT is the trait I admire most out of Tsumu and you'll be seeing more of it soon. I can't express enough of my admiration of this brat. And while some decide to say 'Osamu the better twin' Ig I'm biased towards Tsumu instead. He's a brat but he's my brat 😂

Im sorry Oikawa is still the best imo. He has the confidence to match his skills. But the thing is, he is never held back by his teammates but instead he elevated them 100% of the time and made them better. In that regard Oikawa can make any player into a Hinata, if that makes sense. Atsumu gets my second favorite but I have to give Oikawa credits because he worked diligently for his skills and in turn its not a lot of players on the court that DONT count on him popping off (whether it’s teammates or foes)

Sarah: "He's smart" Me: I know 🤭 Sarah: "I know you know, I'm just reminding you" Me: 😧

[@SarahPavanVolleyball]

Just a little conversation between me and you ❤️

[@Zephyr2z]

Just noticed japans national team coach calls ukai, ukai Senseis grandson, meaning he must know and respect old ukai, just a cool tidbit

[@aznc0ffe388]

[@dididyo2253]

Tanakas face at 12:46 killed me 😂😂

[@MacDaniboi]

And the joust does not last seconds, they last half a second at most. I love that a game can be decided just by who has better timing and better jump.

[@jozianderson8232]

10:12 the point was off screen. in case you wanted to know Ginjima scored it

[@jeon.cookie]

25:43 tsukki laugh tho.. such a cutie

[@silnot8235]

My best episodes are s2e7, s3e4, s3e10, and s4e16, 20, 23, 24. especially s4e16 is absolutely one of the Best episodes of haikyuu. Perhaps, like many other viewers, my favorite character has changed since the day I saw e16.

the shimada mart grocery bag makes me cry everytime 🥲

I dont know if it was mentioned before but whenvever you see star players on teams seemingly continuously serve over and over, just remember there are frequent cuts of points as the game progresses in Haikyu, so we don't get to see absolutely EVERYTHING that happened in the game. Every time Atsumu serves and it seems like he shouldn't, it's likely that the full rotation just wasn't on screen for us to see. Think of it like the writer wanting to keep the action of serving consistently interesting, therefore he usually opts to skip the regular servers on the team and only shows the action when Atsumu (or Oikawa or Ushiwaka or etc.) is serving. Sometimes the cuts aren't very obvious though and it is fair to get confused at times. This usually happens when the server is on a roll but they get cut off, the match then skips to when they're back to serving again to consistently showcase them more.

Omg i have Haikyuu so many time but i just caught this for the first time 25:41 why tsuki laugh like that 😂

[@daverowe03]

I love hearing "joust" with your Canadian accent.😊

[@aries7120]

Fun fact this episode was animated by another company that’s why on certain instances it would look more stiff or their faces are just a tad bit different

[@chorusalonso8834]

25:43 WTH was Tsuki’s laugh there 😂😂😂

[@DeusaRem]

15:50 Sarah is so cute! ❤

[@lavellmanning9034]

Idk if anyone had said this but the twin did that quick setter says the same thing kageyama said when he did it the first time

[@reversequeen838]

The atsuberry and oikaberry is super cute ❤❤❤

[@vamshidarshetty1427]

You actually see tssukishima laughing when asahi did a feint at the end

[@Kyurengo]

You cant help but love Inarizaki, specially the Miyas and Kita (just wait for Kita) I wonder how you're going to react to Suna (Inarizaki's middle bloquer) and his way to spike

[@vdinh143]

This season is like a rocket. Once it starts going you'd better be strapped in for the ride. :D

[@-vile.]

Sarah: Get it together! Saeko: No Sighing! Me: Oop- *Shrek's Face Meme*

[@mendokuse5137]

Omg yesss u finally like atsumu🥰

[@LootGoblin4269]

I saw your tiktok about properly walking in sand…do you have any TikToks or videos about winning a joust? 🏐 19:58 Yeah, inarizaki is just a taaaaaad bit cocky 20:33 23:16 it’s a recurring bit in Japan/anime, that when someone’s talking about you somewhere, you sneeze. So basically, that’s why you randomly sneeze sometimes when you aren’t sick! 25:46 lmao keep doing the pickle jinx bc they don’t miss their serve, but Karasuno has gotten the point EVERY TIME YOU DO THAT😂 28:39 Shimada is MVP, Tadashi is Best Boy 🥺🥺🥺🥺 29:27 a always sounds like AH (unless there’s an e or an I or whatever after it). So, Ah-rah-n. Aran. You got it at the end 👍🏼 31:45 lots of trust between the inarizaki coach and the team. Allows them the freedom to try new things, but firm when they need some steering 32:30 Byeeeeee see you next week!!
