THE ABSOLUTE LIMIT SWITCH | Episode #24 Season #2 | Haikyuu!! Live Reaction & Review!!

[@sage1433]

omg the buffering was hilarious 😭 Also, I literally wanted Oikawa and Iwa to score that point so bad??? and then I remembered I’m supposed to be rooting for Karasuno. Damn it Haikyuu

[@tefi1602]

YES!!! that set it's so AMAZING!! it deserved the point! I almost wanted for them to have the point and that Karasuno had to worked it for another 2 points xD

[@harrydavis6117]

Oikawa pointing to Iwa-chan was so cold I swear. Scene never gets old.

[@thebigdoginthisbitch4733]

I don’t think I have ever watched a scene that made me as happy as Oikawa pointing did Pure hype and happy tears

[@gray8701]

Despite the buffering lmao, that was my favorite set in Haikyuu. You can really see how much Oikawa loves volleyball. After a damn near impossible set, he fell into the table, slipped on his injured knee, then forced himself to get up and keep running. He may have lost but he stole the show for me. They did an amazing job with his character. Can’t wait to see the rest of Oikawa’s story animated. My goat 🥲

[@gine535]

It sucks cheering for Karasuno and then remembering that Oikawa has been fighting to get to nationals ever since middle school and now he lost his chance because this was his last game. The pain whyyy 😭 I want everyone to go to nationals and hold hands lmao

[@jaybirdakadare]

Don't forget to watch that after-credit scene on episode 25! Love yall's reactions as always :D

[@melanieortiz889]

This!!

[@dani_simone]

!!!!

[@wildcard927]

Bruh. That Oikawa set when it paused is my FAVORITE scene of the entire show. Can't believe that happened to y'all. lmao that hurts

[@fablihakhan904]

"Talent is something you bloom Instinct is something that you polish. " Oikawa Probably my favorite or second favorite line in the show!! Also did you notice that Oikawa tripped when he got up from the fall? And that also on his bad knee? But he ignores it and pushes forward. That little trip just humanizes Oikawa and honestly is the scene that made me love him. I always tear up at the scene..

[@psy258]

Something I found interesting was that in S1, Oikawa mentions his perfect bond of trust with Iwaizumi and Iwa jokingly says “We don’t have that.” Then here all Oikawa has to do is point at him from across the court and Iwa already knows what to do. No words needed, just eye contact. They have an amazing friendship and I can’t wait until Kageyama and Hinata reach that level of trust as well! Also another thing I remembered from S1 was that Kageyama mentioned that whenever Oikawa was in trouble he would always set the ball to Iwaizumi no matter what. Here we see that in the heat of the moment Oikawa is backed into the corner with 1 point on the line, who does he set it to? Iwaizumi. Similar to the way the game ended in S1 as well, Kageyama was backed into a corner and through force of habit, did the quick with Hinata. Amazing callbacks.

[@mlouied]

The buffers during the hypest scenes got me rolling JSJCJC

[@ackermann3199]

Even though Oikawa lost the match here, I like to think it gave him some sort of clarity. He held himself back because he had always believed natural talent was superior to anything he could do. Yet here he broke past his limitations when he took the risk of that (amazing) off court set. Of course he’ll have the loss of the game on his mind, but he’ll also walk off the court knowing that his potential has no bounds. I truly feel that this point marked the start of Oikawa’s journey.

[@user-RIPX]

yes, oikawa breaks the limit this game

[@HalcyonCinema]

Oikawa losing breaks my heart, but Karasuno deserved this win.

[@Unknown_crusader]

yeah

[@amanrawat3223]

Losing 7 years in a row. That gotta suck. Plus, first seeing Ushiwaka upping him only to see another genius in his front, that boy is going through so much. And yes, he is controversial, so most people will dislike him. But the struggle Oikawa shows, when the odds are against him is amazing. "Talent is something you make bloom. Instinct is something you polish." These words could have never fitted any one else better.

[@couchproceeds5450]

Oikawa wasn’t talking to his junior high coach in the flashback, they reveal who it was way later in the manga so I won’t say who it is. Even though Oikawa is wearing his junior high uniform just know he wasn’t talking to his junior high coach it was someone else😳

[@lilamyel]

watching this episode after reading the manga hits so different

[@melanieortiz889]

@@lilamyel exactly…

[@greengreen970]

Who is it? Can you tell me?

[@gil828]

Pls tell who is it

[@sk8terGrlM]

1:18 - Translation context: in japan when you call someone an idiot (in the context of a sport) it doesn't imply 'stupid'. The closer meaning to it would be something like 'sports junkie' or 'sports obsessed'. It's less an insult and more an acknowledgement of skill. 2:11 - Fun fact: during the VNL (Volleyball Nations League), they played Haikyuu's 'Fly High' for the match between USA and Japan.

[@AoAReacts]

Life imitates ART!

[@kallannnn]

Thank you for this explanation, I feel like so many foreign reactors completely take “idiots” the wrong way even though it's usually harmless here in Asia

[@Barbosa-em6je]

I think the scene where Oikawa talks about talent and instinct means he actually bloomed his talent right there. At least that's what I got from it after watching it a few times. I think it meant that after thousands of times setting and a lot of practice, he got an incredible ball sense and actually evolved right there, breaking the talent curse and proving that he can be as good as anyone, even without being born with all the talent. It's so beautifully done.

[@stellarcollision3422]

I'm happy that you genuinely love this show. I just want to say that unlike shounen, this doesn't have a "villain". Just because a team is playing against us doesn't mean we are obliged to hate them and not entertain the thought that they deserve credit. I'm not saying this is about Oikawa, but who am I kidding? Lol. I'm a total simp for him and Hinata.

[@kunterborn1]

That feeling when the wifi cuts out at the climax of a scene...ooof. Ngl, I yelled, "NOOOOOOO" too, and I've seen this episode so many times but it never fails to get me hooked into the final moments of the match. Also, that man is most definitely not Oikawa's middle school coach, but I can't tell you who he is. All of the Iwa-chan love is great; he's truly a great ace and a boss character. Always a great reaction!

[@artprojectsix5280]

Ngl this reaction was refreshing. The first feeling was relief, before all the hype, and I loved that. Also, I'm very sure Oikawa would have received that last spike if it didn't get tooled of Turnip, this man was still easily the best player standing on that court!!

[@francoliles189]

the amount of buffers you had to suffer through during one of the most intense volley's deserves all the likes.

[@budisetiadi3192]

Like kuro said in episode 11 "strongest player doesn't mean have strongest team" and that apply to karasuno too and that what i like about this series

[@melanieortiz889]

Guys! This match was the semi final! The next round is the final, Karasuno against Shiratorizawa. This tournament is to decide the representative of Miyagi prefecture, the one who wins will go to Nationals. Since Miyagi is a small prefecture, only 1 team can make it. Also, don’t forget to react to the extra scene once you finished ep 25! It is such a nice ending to this chapter, you know, the battle between Aoba Johsai vs Karasuno. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gpLSZmeVnauUd5I

[@tefi1602]

Yes! there's an extra scene in episode 25, and a little short (6min) on the YT link. you SHOULD really watched it tomorrow when you finished episode 25 too :)

[@rroxez4915]

YES ive been waiting all week edit: yo that pause after oikawas set SUCKED lmao. perfect terrible timing

[@egomana9329]

That's why I hate watching on Crunchyroll. It sucks

[@biciburns6910]

lol the buffering made me cackle...you guys are such a perfect duo

[@Revaiel_]

Oikawa is the 🐐

[@RikkiLove0317]

Ngl, I cried when Seijoh lost

[@xai18]

YES! All of that growth and training for this rematch, for this chance to go the next level and compete at championships. I'm so proud of this team T-T

[@dani_simone]

"oikawa pulls his teams potential up to it's ceiling but karasuno may not have that ceiling" YOOO i love how u phrased that!!! also oikawa and iwa's attack at the end will forever be my favorite moment from the show. seeing them lose hurts bc they never got to make it to nationals for the entirety of their high school career but the sky's honestly the limit for them regardless (manga readers know what i mean haha). karasuno seriously did their thing and i love that they won using the same attack they used when they lost the first game. amazing reaction as always, remember to watch the after-credit scene for the next episode!!

[@Unknown_crusader]

It doesn't matter how many times I watch these episodes, they always hype me up!

[@Talancir]

Hey, are y'all gonna watch the bonus scene with Aoba Josai?

[@vzgamer5738]

i mean, you can like tsuki, you just dont like him because you decide not to like. You made a choice based on the first 4 episodes of the show that you will hate him forever and you cant let go of it. Tsukishima is not gonna kiss yamaguchi on the cheek and say : "thats my boy" with a smile on his face, he wont. Or you like him or you dont. Just like him or hate him the way he is, dont keep expecting him to change that all

[@beasty4936]

Viewers are meant to change the way they think abt tsukishima throughout haikyuu. It is designed for him to redeem himself. He isnt a likeable character from the get go but throughout the show we get to know his reasons and see him open up a lil more and eventually truly enjoy the sport.

[@vzgamer5738]

@@beasty4936 yes that makes sense, but if they dont like tsukishima now they are not gonna like him ever. I would rspect them more if they straight said they hated him instead of saying that they are trying to like him to please the fanbase. I dont believe 3x4 is enough for them to like him, because the reson why they dont like him is his jerky and scummy nature, wich is one of hte reasons i love him. You cant expect someone like that to change 180 like that. Tsukishima is going to keep being jerkyshima forever because thats who he is. And we should just accept him that way instead of wanting him to be a goody two shoes like everyone else in the show. Imagine How utterly boring it would be if every character was like Daichi or Suga or Tanaka. I would wanna vomit. We need different characters like tsukishima, now if they hate him i feel sorry for them but thats okay, just know that his personality wont change. That shit dosent happen in real life, let alone in 6 months

[@beasty4936]

@@vzgamer5738 Yea i agree with that but I feel like we shd clear up that they might not hate the character the way u think they do. Its just like u know hes being snarky and its wtever. Also dont disrespect my bois daichi, suga and tanaka like that, cmon man.

[@vzgamer5738]

@@beasty4936 there is enough of daichi suga and tanaka, if all characters were like them, they would lose what makes them special. If everyone is the same than no character has depth

[@beasty4936]

Oikawa and Tsukki are never going to be the people you want them to be, lmao. They're assholes but they aren't bad people.

[@melanieortiz889]

LMAOOO I’m dead 😂😂😂 that last point was insane but you going crazy over crunchyroll was hilarious

[@girish2754]

even though I have seen this episode 100 times, I was feeling the same way as you two when it started bufferring. That to it bufferred at the most intense and awesome moments. 16:23 each team gets 2 timeouts per set. At that time, score was 25-24 in our favor, so Seijoh coach took the timeout to stop our momentum.

[@erict1628]

This tournament is the last one for the 3rd years, so it's now or never. Since you're a bit ahead in Patreon, you're already aware that S3 is only 10 episodes and they jumped into the match against Shiratorizawa right away. Also, remember to watch the OVAs Land vs. Air (parts 1 and 2) after S3. It's the Tokyo qualifiers for the Spring Nationals.

[@fiqsar7]

The old man who talking with Oikawa in timeout is not the coach from Junior High. He is someone who inspired Oikawa to play as Setter that u will know far away in the future.

[@lollypop5380]

This show making you happy with the karasuno victory but also breaking your heart for the Seijoh loss should be illegal, this chapter and the next one are my absolute favorite. Please react the movie seijoh ending, I would love to see your reaction. Ilove your videos, plase keep doing it.

[@mikkosimonen]

Great point about the openings. I remember when the second OP of season 4 rolled around I wasn't too keen on it, but then three episodes in I'm like "SEISEI DOUDOU!"

[@sugasan4669]

the connection troubles at the end had me screaming!! shit was hilarious !!!

[@earlyoyster2793]

‘Crow of the East, Bird of the West’ lols imma remember that

[@nurdiana769]

I can't with the third pause 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 . . This show really feel like we with them. The emotional is soooo real. I already rewatch the show with the reactor soooooo many times but it's still give me that hype. That what I love about Haikyu!! . AND WHO SAID IT'S A RELAXING ANIME? IT'S TOOK MY BREATHE AWAY AND STRESSING ME OUT 🤣🤣🤣 but in a great way. 😁 .

[@Bee-vu6ye]

Kyoutani Kentarou is the full name of Mad dog and in Japanese, "Kyou Ken" from his full name literally means Mad dog.

[@randy7796]

I wished Seijoh had won and become the main team of the story, then have them lose at some point, subsequently making it Oikawa's last high school game, but setting it up for Karasuno's return to the plot simultaneously. That way, we'd get some foreshadowing into future opponents for Karasuno while getting dope matches and seeing great characters in play at the same time. Then again, there are plenty of teams in this show with many well written characters that are capable of being the main team the plot focuses on.

[@sharlesdaviskendy2391]

“I wanna like Tsuki but I can’t.” I’ll see you in four episodes and you let me know.

[@sugasan4669]

I must say, those pauses were the worst timing possible for this season but it made your reaction that much memorable. Karasuno fight!!!

EDIT: Here's the link to the Seijoh after match clip→kzbin.info/www/bejne/gpLSZmeVnauUd5I Pls rmb to watch it!! Also, could you let us know if you're reacting to it or not after episode 25?👀 I really want you to see it. Not me putting the link first so that y'all will see it when you scroll through the comments and glance through at first😩😂 ALSO, I'll be back after school AHSKWLALSJD STOOOOPPP. I can't with you guys😂😂😂 Terminator is such an underrated nickname for Ushijima(UshiWaka), I love it. Also, all the stuff Isaiah said about Haikyuu. Plss, the wifi breaking up is the worst thing that can happen to anyone who's watching such an intense scene (OF VOLLEYBALL MIND YOU). I actually missed the fact that your video paused because I was too focused on watching my own footage of the episode(I sync up with y'all all the time LOL) But DAMN, that must have sucked, and I am furious at Crunchyroll for cutting the hype off so suddenly like that. The audacity is outrageous. On a side note, poor Oikawa landed on his bad knee(white knee brace, not the black kneepad) when he fell and crashed into the table. I remember feeling sooo bad for him and Iwaizumi for not getting that point. This episode just made me realize how much I love Iwa and Oikawa again🥺🥺🥺 23:19 YES, THAT HAPPENED IN THE FIRST SEASON AND WAS THE PARALLEL I WAS TALKING ABOUT (BUT THIS TIME THEY WON). I am looking forward to the reaction tmr (and I am praying that y'all did react to the Seijoh ending scene). Amazing reaction, I'm so glad y'all actually gave Oikawa the credit he deserves and the recognition of his hard work, his animations are always sick and he is srsly one of THE best players on the court. Thanks for today's video, now I'm itching for more tmr...
