Oregairu's OTHER Genuine Scene - Hayama Hayato & Expectations

[@aayushbhai02]

when Hayama was first introduced, I thought I would really hate him because the popular guys are never written in a good light in most stories. As you progress through Oregairu, you can see he genuinely cares for people and has his fair share of issues with keeping up with the expectations of everyone. I hope he gets more spotlight in s3 as I really like his character, but seeing we're finally focusing on the love triangle, it doesn't seem like we will any time soon.

[@DuskForNow]

This might be pretty dissapointing, but hayama doesn't show up much in S3. The light novels barely include him and from what I've seen of the first three episodes, the anime keeps it pretty close to the ln books (though they did skip a good half of book 11)

[@aayushbhai02]

Angus Nah, I kinda figured it would be the case. I wouldn’t say I am disappointed, but it would have been nice to see more of him. More than Hayama, I wish we got more screen for my boy Saika though. He barely got screen time in s2. I feel it’ll be even lesser in s3. Truly a shame to not give more screen for the best boy.

[@AlaskaFinal]

@@aayushbhai02 He gets two important scenes, but the real tragedy is that his and Haruno's issues are never really resolved (that being the guilt Haruno hangs over his head for what happened to Yukino). Not unless something new crops up in Volume 14.5, which will probably be this season's OVA.

When I first watched Oregairu, I honestly did not like it. I realize now that it's because I never understood it-and perceived scenes merely for what they were on the surface-never bothering to search for that richly-muffled subtext. For that reason, I am grateful for your videos. It made me realize just how much I missed in a lot of great shows I've once overlooked. A lot of those which later became my personal favorites (e.g. Hyouka, Revue Starlight, Liz and the Blue Bird) So, I've decided to pick up this series again-not with the expectation of adding it to my list of favorites-but to try understanding it just a bit more than before.

[@KevinNyaa]

Like you said at the end, I interpreted Hayato's struggle with the expectations placed from the people around him to be a much more negative one. To me, it felt like he wasn't being his own person and that he was trapped in a cycle of constantly trying to live up to the people around him, never once making a genuine decision for himself. But your interpretation definitely made me see it in a much more hopeful light. Can't wait for the end of Season 3 to absolutely wreck me... Great work btw! :)

I watched it all in a single night an caught up to the third one, and all of that is pretty much thanks to the incredibly methodical buildup during the second season as well as the change in dynamic w/o affecting any character's essence. It was a beautiful thing to watch.

[@williambillhuggins7690]

I have to say, as someone who is at the very center of Oregairu fandom and being able to listen to the opinions of countless people, your positive interpretation of the Hayama Hayato character was certainly refreshing. He is generally seen in a very negative light by the fandom because of his so called status as a "romantic rival" to Hikigaya, but also his negative actions during the Kyoto trip arc. Moreover, he gets even more undeserved negative reception for his actions which we are going to see during the rest of the story. It is good to see that at least one person is able to see past the protagonist's point of view, and realize that even Hayama Hayato is just a seventeen year old teenager who is burdened by all the expectations piled upon him. One criticism though, I would advise using fansubs instead of the official ones especially when analysing the Season 2 content of Oregairu. Official subtitles are severely lacking in some scenes, and they fail to convey the true meaning in some scenes causing misunderstandings. Most iconic example of this would be the last scene between Hikigaya and Yukinoshita during the last minutes of the Season 2 Episode 7. The fact that official subtitles fail to convey Yukinoshita (unknowingly) using the exact same words Hikigaya did when he was talking with Hayama a few episodes earlier almost completely removes the impact of the scene.

[@RWZiggy]

There is a crucial discussion left out of the anime that I believe gives Hachiman's real motivation for bothering Hayama during the marathon. Yukino said in the light novel there were two positions in the Hayama/Yukinoshita business partnership needing filling, a medical one on Hayama's side where mother has a clinic, and a legal one on the Yukinoshita side where currently Hayama's father is their corporate lawyer. But Yukino doesn't know which of those two Hayama or her are intended to fill, assuming that is parent's plan. Lack of proper communication between parent, mom who wears the pants in the family even though to outsiders the dad is the head of construction business and Diet representative, and child Yukino is implied in multiple places. Hayama as you said is hoping Yukino will seek him out for answer since she has been hostile to him for years over that thing similar to Rumi's situation that happened in their childhood where Hayama couldn't or wouldn't help. But Hachiman making a bridge to get an answer for Yumiko also helps Yukino; later in infirmary scene Hachiman directly asks Yukino what her career path will be... she says liberal arts, a change from her direction of following Haruno earlier in the series, even though Hayama indirectly admits he's going that way too. The reason for Yukino's choice has nothing to do with being lawyer, it is actually shown in volume 1, where Yukino's answer to a survey is shown. She said she wishes to do her father's work, that which everyone assumes Haruno will do as she is heir and face of family at functions. Much more on that subject is part of Season 3.

Damn here I was thinking Hayato's "Y" was referring to Yukinoshita Haruno, and how he was frustrated that she was never interested in him because she views his ability to be able to handle every situation thrown at him perfectly as something boring and predictable. Literally just rewatched the whole series before starting S3 and still missing stuff I guess. Also Saki now confirmed best girl after S3s cafe scene don't @ me or I will rain down unto you the fury of a thousand suns.

[@elbinalejandrofelizgonzale1742]

I thought that also, it was like a general lecture that lot of people do, but this reading is as valid I guess? In the other hand, YES!!, Saki is pretty much best girl, top notch waifu material, bad she does not get so much screen-time, maybe more in this season, and yes that cafe scene is the cutest.

[@MartyAraragi]

I also re-binged all of OreGairu cuz i did not remember how S2 left off, and i would say i got some of the subtexts and everything. Also yes! Saki is just total wife material. Especially when she got flustered when Hachiman ran by her during the Cultural festival stuff.

[@justsomerandomguyscott9848]

Not really, “Y” is Haruno. By the memos/monologues and interactions within the Ln it becomes painfully clear. Hayato just wants to rekindle or patch things up with Yukino in an attempt to re-build his relationship with Haruno, remember when Yukino asked to Haruno when she advice Yukino to figure that out by herself she also said direct quote from the Ln (Sugarcoated in the Anime) “Don’t know because I never asked because I never care and was never interested to begin with” plus there’s a plethora of subtext that backs up the idea of “Y” being Haruno. All in all I agree that SakiSaki/Saa-Chan is waifu, sadly does not have too much time in the spotlight but that is because the Anime she has plenty moments with 8man in the source material that’s why the fans adore her she is a cool beauty with a heart of gold and sweet. S-Tier Waifu!

[@milanletic1772]

I'm so glad that you did an analysis on Hayato, he is such an underrated character or maybe underappreciated character. When i saw that scene he became my favourite character for a short while, because it finally hit me how much i can relate to both him as well as Hachiman, who unsurprisingly is my favourite character. It's also refreshing to see a more hopeful interpretation. Maybe because of my own struggles, it was hard to see it as anything other than negative for me, so i'm still not completely sold on your interpretation, but i'm hoping he will have more spotlight in s3 which would give more insight into it. Still, this video made me rethink my own interpretation and it was a pleasure to watch. I'm probably going to rewatch it again just to try and see other perspective better. Also, i'd love to see the 35 min version of the video, which you mentioned in one of the comments. Of course, you should stick to uploading videos that you yourself are satisfied with, but i just wanted to let you know that i don't mind the length as i'm sure many others would agree with that. Edit: I forgot to mention that your interpretation that Hayato actually likes Yukino really surprised me. For some reason, i had a hunch that he always liked Haruno and that Yukino's reaction was so serious because at one point she liked Hayato, but found out that he liked her big sister, which adds on to how she used to chase after her. Maybe a rewatch of the series might make it more clear for me, but him having a crush on yukino also makes a lot of sense.

[@thunderbird7936]

I don't really understand hayato having an interest in anyone to peruse a relationship if I m being honest. To me he just doesn't seem like the character or person to pursue a relationship.

Great analysis, you've given me closure on Hayato that Season 3 failed to 😅

[@EmCeBra]

5:27 This scene does not suggest any person in the language at all, so there is no certain someone for Hayato. I think the English-sub is hugely inaccurate. 2:14 I imagine there is another reason Hayato refuses the rumor with seriousness. Remember the summer camp in season 1, there are scenes that suggest Yukino is a loner in elementary school and Hayato regrets not doing anything to help at the time. This time Hayato takes action to protect Yukino and Yukino thanks him for that.

[@NHDOreBros]

With regards to 5:27, Japanese tends to omit the subject entirely and simply imply it, which is impossible to do in English. It's not that translation is wrong, but "someone" is more like referring to a broad 誰か than あの人. Replay Value got the meaning wrong, but the subs themselves aren't inaccurate.

@@NHDOreBros Yes, I agree with 誰か is omitted. In my understanding, "certain" someone (in the sub) should refer to the one and only character that both speaker and listeners know the exact identity.

[@Kakakaka-ri2kr]

Aight after watching the video... I just realized that there was really one thing I missed from the material: the nuance between picking Sciences or Humanities. I just realized that if Hayato picks Sciences means that less people will be with jim and if he picks Humanities then otherwise happens. Kinda makes me frustrated not realizing this single detail. Edit: I'll also add this but I concluded that most or at least half of the reason why Hayato chose this decision of "answering everybody's expectation" is because of Haruno. We knew from the Anime that Hayato loves Haruno and it fits especially when knowing that Haruno also chose the same path. Just as Hayato, Haruno constantly puts on a mask to answer everyone's expectation. She becomes her family's golden child and answers their and everybody else's expectations about her. So, knowing that, Hayato chose to experience what Haruno experiences prove himself worthy of her. Honestly, this quality of his is really similar to Hachiman. They both get their decisions really influenced by their love. The scene on S1 where Hachiman was about to bash Sagami on the roof illustrates this. The scene where he monologues 'Yukinoshita did things her way. I will also continue so with my way'(paraphrased/forgot) illustrates it. (But, well, his thinking and Yukinoshita's thinking were still immature back then however that scene along with his contemplation when he realized he was idolizing her was just some romantic tidbits I love. )

I'm also really happy that you talked about Yumiko here because she IS REALLY important in the Genuine subject of Oregairu. It would be nice if you could make a video focused on her but you would have to talk about cut LN moments that were really important to motivate Hachiman. Like after the marathon, there was the second magnificent scene of Yumiko showing how she is one of the most genuine character of the show. I made a diaporama analysis about her: show.zohopublic.eu/publish/4ffcx1265eb4cff644a80aad0a39ac07288ff Maybe if you feel like making another character analysis ! Keep up the quality work

[@treesaregreen]

Ignoring the grammar mistakes, this was some solid analysis. It was nice to read the LN quotes, especially ones cut from the anime. Having them all together made it easy to comprehend the aspects of her character, and the role she play's in the story, in the school, within her own friendship group. Even people who hate her character would have an improved impression after reading this. I didn't know that she was such a key inspiration or motivator for Hachiman to seek change for himself, to take the risk of finding something genuine. it takes effort to gather all the quotes and screencaps, then type out the analysis. Keep up the quality work

@@treesaregreen Thank you for taking the time to read me (I'm french, even being bilingual I can't avoid grammar mistakes here and there haha). I'll spread the Yumiko Cult!

[@LegacyOnCODM]

With S3E8 released, would you break down the end scene of the ep where Hayato and Haruno exchange dialogue? The whole "Is that why you hate me?"

[@randomthought3722]

Hopefully you'd have post season review of oregairu climax

[@thunderbird7936]

Please open the can of worms that haruno is because I can't understand her for the life of me and nobody here minds the time limit , it can even be a 50 minutes video if you want.

HAYATO

[@weighingswing3525]

I need more 100IQ to understand this anime.

[@RaiosSephi]

I hope you'd review Oregairu's last season after it is done.

[@SeaIify]

Does someone know *when* does the Ova from season 2 actually happens? (where Iroha asks Hachiman for a date) I initially thought it was briefly after Zoku's ep 13, but seeing what has happened so far in season 3, I don't see that being possible so.... when does that happen then?

[@joseramirez-hh2sw]

Ik there's probably no good way to do this but its hard to listen to your videos with only audio (like listening to them while on a drive or the like) since a lot of the resources you call back on are only stated on the clip themselves (sub) and not restated or paraphrased so if you are only listening you miss out on a lot .

[@mightyowl5887]

That awkward moment when Hayato likes Yumiko

[@samsonsanthosh]

is it just me or do i just love the anime bcs i dont understand a single thing is it wrong for me to seek a genuine answer to my q

[@lainsoviet73]

I'm getting a more seared bite on the Impossible Whopper, than I'm getting on the actual Who- no no no no no no no no.... No please don't say that no no no... No. Nonononono. No no nono no no. NONO NO NONO NO NOOOOO. Ladies and gentlemen, I'm not gonna trip. I wanted to come in a 100% hater. I'mma tell you off the top. I wanted to take a bite of this and be like 'ehhh nah nah it it'- I'mma just flat out say it; your Impossible Whopper BK, IS BETTER THAN YOUR ACTUAL WHOPPER BK. YOUR IMPOSSIBLE WHOPPER BK IS BETTER THAN YOUR ACTUAL WHOPPER BK. IT HAS A MORE SEARED TASTE. IT'S MORE OF A COOKOUT FLEX. IT JUST TASTES BETTER. Get over here. You get back in the bag. BK. That bite is so flavorful my m- and the fact that it works so well, it literally compliments the lettuce. Like I'm not even mad that I'm bittin' up, and I'm not even mad, that I'm eating lettuce right now and tomatoes. You can really taste the onion because the sear, on this plant based situation right here, it's so strong and you barely get onion but the onion's there so you get a crunch off it, with soft bun action and SBA? BK, YOU'RE ONTO SOMETHING, AND I LIKE WHERE YOU, YOU GOIN' BK, THE IMPOSSIBLE WHOPPER SON!

[@deathdxdxdx907]

Back in season 1 or 2 (don’t remember) hayama said the person he liked had the letter “y” as their first initial in their name its yumeko right or Yui or yukino? I want to know!

[@rrahman4812]

Haruno

[@eduardohernandez2459]

In my thoughts, the one that Hayama is in love is Haruno, because almost all of the talks involve Yukino and Haruno as you can see in the episode 3 when they meet Orimoto at the restaurant with Haruno, he said that Haruno always messes up with the people she likes but destroys the one she hates but he can be useful they keep interacting with him and also because of family matters

[@KICK839]

Yes

[@aromalja9861]

Is yukino liked hayato? I heard somewhere that there is love triangle between those sisters and hayato

[@citycrusher9308]

Oregairu isn't about Genuineness. It's about peer acceptance. Hikigaya only cares about finding something genuine after endless peer/female rejection

[@neelabhsinha8692]

This is a bit off topic but there's no one I hate in this anime more than Yukino's sister. For starters as an adult, she's way too invested in the private and intimate relationships of literal high schoolers. She offers nothing of value for most of the series and is only there to create further confusion, tension and doubts in these youngsters minds, why? God knows. I get siblings like to tease each other and whatnot, but her bullying of Yukino is unbearable to watch - its so much in volume, it edges on deep and unjustified hatred towards a younger sibling, it's ugly. I dont remember all details if it were mentioned or not, but idk if its jealousy or some sick twisted way of her looking out for her sister, its very hard to watch. This is all before the fact that she constantly puts on a facade, the one that Hachiman exposes in literally their first meeting. Unbearable character. Idk if i should congratulate or cuss the authors.

[@folcwinep.pywackett8517]

In the future, taking Liberal Arts means that Hayato will become PM of Japan, and although no evidence exists to support, it would not be unreasonable to think that the two familys, the Hayama's and the Yukinoshita's want to pair Hayato and Yukino. Why does Yukino want Hachiman to save her? from what?

[@jonaszklimala]

From being the second child, that no one cares about. From living in a world without somenone who can really understand you.

[@folcwinep.pywackett8517]

@@jonaszklimala The youngest child in a family usually gets all the love. There is even a famous story about this in Joseph and the coat of many colors. Your second point is spot-on. Yukino and Hachiman have some similar character traits and would have the best chance of understanding each other. Hayato could never understand Yukino. She would always just be a trophy wife to help further his political career. Yukino clearly sees this about Hayato.

[@jonaszklimala]

@@folcwinep.pywackett8517 But in this particular situation, all of her parents attenion is focused on Haruno inheriting his father position. Everythink that's left for Yukino is some kind of "political marriage", probably with Hayato like you mentioned.

[@folcwinep.pywackett8517]

@@jonaszklimala I think we are in basic agreement with each other. Stay healthy!

[@zi784]

I wonder when they started liking each other... Was it the evening after the Marathon? I know these are just the small details in the cryptic novel.. but idk why it keeps bugging me.. Uh!

[@adamyasingh3713]

Wait so Hayato like Yukino?

[@Emilia089]

Wait, The legendary "Y" confession isnt Yukonoshita Haruno but Yukino itself? Then why was Hayato referring to 8man that "she is intrigued by you" at season 1 and why did he follow Haruno's orders without even knowing the details? To me his scene of bringing 8man to a higher pedestal against his past schoolmates , was an attempt to not only to self gratify but to be noticed by Haruno even for once.

[@justsomerandomguyscott9848]

Nori it is Haruno, to be fair, Replay is giving a valid interpretation banking on the subtext within those scenes but he also pointed out that he is not evaluating the Ln but the Anime. The things you mentioned and the conclusion thors “Y” being Haruno is more accurate or heavily implied in the memos & monologues within the source material so yes, is mainly accepted that Haruno is the one Hayato is talking about

[@Emilia089]

@@justsomerandomguyscott9848 oh thank you it is my bad I got very confused on what he said thanks for clearing it up.

[@kingkarma8918]

I don't understand what does haruno want from hikigaya?

[@yulwu6758]

is the subtext this rich because the adaption does not include what is already discussed and explained in the novel? Or is it just the way this was intended to be? a lot of viewers blame feel studio for not including the "genuine thing" definition as if it was (im not sure) given in the novel. also a lot of people are angry that yukino's scenes in season 3 are cut and even calling Yui 'bitch'. I mean as a Yui ship i enjoy the anime a lot, sand i cant say just because its not a ink paper copy paste adaption therefor its bad.

[@Laharl890]

Sure, Hayame Hayato meets everyone's expectations, but can he meet his own expectations? After watching this video I'm assured now that Hayato has a thing for Yukinon. I think he had an expectation of himself to try and save her way before 8man entered the picture and he ends up envying and h8ting 8man because of that. I wish i knew more of the Hayato x Yukinon dynamic in middle school but I have a guess. Basically, their friendship started way before middle school, and the interactions with other girls and Hayato probably clashed with the friendship of Yukinon and Hayato. Yukinon probably learned later that it's best to stop being friends with Hayato, at least, not interacting with him during school hours. The time Hayato developed the "Everyone's Hayato" facade was probably the same time Yukinon developed her complex as well. Will Hayato let 8man win this season or will he try to shed the "Everyone's Hayato" mentality that holds him back? Tbh, I want 8man with Yukinon, but I wouldn't really mind Yukinon with Hayato if he changes.
