The Match That Saved Haikyuu!! (MSBY Black Jackals vs Schweiden Adlers)

Haikyuu has the most fitting and whole ending out of any piece of fiction I have ever read. The only regrets you have after finishing it is that it didn’t last longer. The ideals of the story have imprinted onto our very lives as even for us readers, “this is still volleyball”.

Even if the Brazil arc is not animated, just give me a 5 hour movie of this match and I will be happy for life.

The Brazil training arc literally healed and motivated me inside and out after Karasuno lost to Kamomedai and the whole timeskip. That’s why it felt like such a precious treat to see Shoyo come back so much better prepared and stronger than before. It was also so satisfying and moving to see everyone again (to be honest, it felt like I was there at the reunion, lol). I’m not being dramatic; my life has been up and down, so I can empathize deeply with many moments in this manga. Furudate-sensei has created a masterpiece that has had a profound impact on me. Thank you for analyzing and emphasizing all these precious moments, details, and lessons in Haikyuu!!

[@olivertodd2304]

I think something interesting about Tobios backstory is that when Kazyo dies, we see that is when Tobio becomes obsessed with improving and speed, it is the need to fine someone better that he is searching for in the wake of his grandfathers death and until the tokyo training camps in season 2, Tobio sees Hinata as a means to an end, not a rival. It is when Tobio sees Hinatas outstanding growth that the two become real rivals and Partners.

[@georgetsif6510]

Honestly i do not think i have the words to express how great of a conclusion to such an amazing manga this was.It took in to account every character,every relationship,every team,every motive, every detail humanly possible reinforced it and solidified haikyuus greatness in all aspects(while adding new elements to the story like ushijimas and sakusas chemistry).When i first read this i had the same fear as you with the time skip route but after seeing the way furudate handled it i was left 100% satisfied and utterly speechless.I dont know how to explain exactly but it left me with a sweet aftertaste like "be grateful that it happened not sad that it ended'.Whatever kind of media is created in the future haikyu has solidified itself as one of personal favourites and i probably wont forget it for as long as i live.

[@aniessays]

It is so true, going into this match I didn’t think it would be able to wrap everything up satisfyingly, but here we are

[@oscar5012]

Great video! I think the thing that bothers me most is when Tanaka sees Hinata serve and says “it’s a jump serve” kinda implying that Hinata had NEVER done that before in the rest of his time in Karasuno which is crazy to me. He’s a kid who’s picked things up and soaked in information like a sponge and we’ve seen players like Asahi and Tanaka pick up a jump serve in the span of months and be mostly successful.

[@SWad250]

It is my nitpick for the time skip. It makes sense that the in universe audience should mirror us readers with how much we know about the players developments since the tournament arc, but in universe it implies it to seem that Hinata stayed more or less stagnant in his high school career when we have seen crazy growth for characters in much less time. But it is ultimately just a nitpick to me.

[@oscar5012]

@@SWad250 100% agreed.

[@finntheperson670]

Uh it’s possible Hinata used a jump serve his third year, Tanaka wouldn’t be on the team anymore during that time

[@oscar5012]

@@finntheperson670 Good point but I personally think it’s disproven by how the upperclassmen always come back to watch their underclassmen like with Date Tech after their first loss, Karasuno alumni during the Tsubakihara match, Inarizaki during a recap of the timeskip so it’d be safe to say that Tanaka would come back to watch them play as third years.

[@aniessays]

Yeah this part of the match kinda cracks me up because there is no way Hinata didn’t learn how to use a jump serve in high school

[@killua543]

Babe wake up, AniEssay dropped another Haikyu video

[@aniessays]

LLLLFFFFFFGGGGGGG

[@yaboichipsahoy2275]

Literally finished the manga a couple minutes ago so this was a perfect time for this video to pop up. This video details my thoughts exactly, as much as I wanted to see Hinata’s 2nd and 3rd years this match does such an amazing job of wrapping up the story and themes that I can’t be mad. Haikyu isn’t a “perfect” series but something about it is so special that I can’t call it anything less than life changing. What a manga

[@ishita8486]

whatdya mean Haikyu isn't perfect?????

[@emmanuelobosi8656]

Your expression and insight towards Haikyuu, the story, the character developments of every one of them is.... PROFOUND!!!!! Love this so much.

[@aniessays]

Thank you so much, I am glad you enjoy the vids!!

[@Palx-zs1ue]

I love the emphasis on building muscle and how much we see Hinata change in build from his high school start. Adult Hinata is 10cm taller than his first year self, but 18kg heavier.

[@monalleysa]

god this final arc was genuinely insane, i cant find a single complaint

[@SWW1987]

Gah, getting choked up listening to you talk about this ending was perfect. Thank you for another incredible essay. Here's hoping this part of the story gets told in anime form the right way that cements Haikyu as one of the greats even further.

[@MegaShinobi2011]

This is the result of what can happen when you have a sports series that just uses normal (albeit supremely written) characters. They didn't have to save the spirit of volleyball by beating an evil team or anything, and because of it, the narrative could absolutely justify not having Karasuno win at the end. And I like how Hinata's journey kinda undertows the other players'. He needed ot build skills to be truly free, and the rest of them did as well, even though they obviously started from more skilled positions. But this match is beautiful. Hype, but truly beautiful where all the volleyball idiots can enjoy themesleves to the fullest andthe presentation can simply be "this is fun"

[@infinite3426]

I got chills watching the video, it is such a great manga to read and I hope I can feel the same sensation again in a different manga. Keep up the good work and thanks for reminding me this manga

[@JunsTako]

Correct me if I'm wrong but they do stop and talk about who won the spring finals. Also although it was very shirt they did tell the story of who advanced for each nationals. It wasn't always karasuno

[@seriousbread]

very nice video! man if we get the last arc animated I hope they'll make a season out of it so they don't need to rush and cut stuff like in the karasuno vs nekoma movie

[@transez]

Yah man ... we can wait. Take 2 years, 3 years, make a great season as a grand finale to the greatest sports manga/anime of all time ...

[@yogeshagrawal1941]

Goosebumps!! While binge reading these chapters after I finished watching the movie, I missed some very small details throughout the arc but this video was a welcome refreshment to those!!

[@mikeo.c9769]

The way Karasuno won versus Inarizaki is kind of similar to how Shohoku won against previous national champs Sannoh. Haikyuu tying up lose ends the way it did is how I wanted SlamDunk to end back in the day but I guess that bittersweet ending from the 90's has a special place in my heart too. Thank you Furudate-sensei!

[@sheeshggwp]

There is only one thing that I want as an ending and it would be a reunion of every character visiting their respective schools and having a match with the current members of their vballclub to seal the deal

[@duncanmiddleton9515]

Still yet to read the manga, but I absolutely love your videos, and feel I've read it by proxy. I will definetly read it one day.

Kageyama's arc- toooo beautiful

[@transez]

He was a lonely boy, a bit lost after his gramps passed, trying to do things in ways only he knew how ... becoming the "prick" in others' eyes :'( I've always loved Kageyama and thought he's misunderstood bc of how socially awkward he was, but after that Ch387, I love him more, just wanna give him a hug. So the fact that he grows up so well and gets to play with all these awesome people ... I feel so happy for him.

[@siddharthdas7221]

​@@transez Quiet true

[@henry6782]

There should be OVA later on how everyone got to where they are now. Little backstory on how Tanaka and Shimizu ended up together would be lovely

[@ringobingo9573]

Haikyuu is honestly one of favorites, it’s way of expression is easily one of the best and there’s this terrifying peace when our Mc loses. Any matches in the final arc was so taxing, watching every single player on the court give their all, and all of them have skills. You yourself learn to admire hinata because he is unaffected by this endless struggle. I will never forget the scene of hinata riding his bike over the mountain alone from a camp where he can’t hit the ball

[@user-ud1dk5wy8t]

it's like the viewer are the one's asking "What have you been doing for the past 3 years???"

[@javidavi24]

12:26 I don't mean to undermine how impactful kageyama was to hinata. Cause hinata got on the volleyball map because of kageyama being able to make it simple enough for hinata to literally close his eyes and just hit is what helped him get noticed. That being said, kageyama held hinata back at the beginning. Controlling the freak quick, claiming it as his technique, and not wanting hinata to evolve and try new ways to fight on his own. And we see that cause the times hinata really evolves as a player, is when he's not with kageyama. And don't get me wrong, kageyama does motivate like crazy as a rival. But we see hinata treat a lot of others like that. Ushijima, being the mountain he wanted to overcome is a big example. But even to a certain seeing Asahi as his target because he's the ace, or tsuki just for being the same position player. So it does make me wonder, assuming he gets noticed for his potential, what other player would've really evolved hinata the fastest. My guess is either oikawa or bokuto and akaashi. Oikawa brings out the most in his team, to the point he's basically the coach. Bokuto and Akaashi can actually keep up with hinata while both being surprisingly good at breaking things down and explaining them, which would have benefited hinata a lot. Just a what if I always think about, thank you for coming to my rant 🤣

[@su1thor760]

that training arc was probably my fave of any training arc from this medium. from 'One trick phony' to 'The greatest decoy' to 'Ninja Shoyo'. Its probably understatement with how good He is with everything making him a great player for a flex pick or simply that one guy to build a team around since He'll excell in both ways "truly a flower that grow on a concrete"

[@minimumwage2169]

This might just be a movie in the making

[@joannemas4638]

Honestly the final match has so many great moments and so much content, I wonder how they’ll fit it into a movie, if going by the news they are going to be putting the kamomedai match too, it would be disappointing . The nekoma match in the movie had me feeling a little disappointed, lacking the intensity the manga had. I wish the rest of haikyuu was adapted the same way the first three seasons was, as imo the last three arc are the best in the entire manga. Hopefully 🙏.

[@transez]

My sentiments exactly. Kamomedai can easily be a short season like the one with Shiratorizawa. Then the post-time skip a full season. Actually, the Dumpster Battle deserves a season of its own!

[@masoudkatiraei7720]

what i would give to watch this match in anime form. maybe it will happen some day. one can hope.

[@TimeturnerJ]

It's so upsetting that we'll only get a single movie for all that's left of the manga. One movie was already too short for the Nekoma match - I can't imagine how they could even remotely do these three separate arcs justice in a single movie.

[@vuppaladhanush]

please share bgm . im getting goosebums listening to it

[@DragonStar524]

Jackals vs. Adlers is the greatest ending to any sports manga created. It started off with Kageyama's team beating Hinata's, and now Hinata's team wins.

[@davidrose6785]

I am so torn on the last match :/ I think it is a good way to end the story, but I feel like Kageyama got robbed, because the match focuses so much on the progression Hinata made, and fails to show how strong his "equal" is

[@Nunelii]

One of the highlights of the game for me was Kageyama's backstory. And I don't agree when you say not knowing about his backstory would be okay with his personality. Because one character is cold and mysterious doesn't mean we don't need their backstory. On the contrary, you have to justify their flaws and personality. Something would have been very wrong if we didn't got Kageyama's past, because unlike the other major characters (let's not forget that Kageyama is the deuteragonist), we only knew a fraction his past from Oikawa's point of view (and thus, necessarily biased and incomplete). I don't know ANY major character in any media whose backstory and personality aren't explained. Kageyama isn't only there to be Hinata's rival and to be his support, he is a character as a whole and deserved to have a decent background. It adds depth to his character (after 380 chapters, finally) and explains a lot of things about him, his motivation and his behavior. I think this chapter was a slap in the face for everyone who thought they knew the character, while so few had been shown about him actually. Now the negative points. Don't get me wrong, what we saw in that match was everything we, as fans, could hope for. But not condensed in 20 chapters. And I really don't understand how anyone can be satisfied with that, when the match could- should have been at least 15 more chapters long. The author was pressured, it's obvious, as they already were when they cut the Brazil arc after only 10 chapters (when Kageyama and Hinata return face to face, they are supposed not having seen each other for 4 years, but for the fans, it's only been...2 months. A bit underwhelming for me.). But for me you can't have the "most important" game of the manga last only 4 sets in 20 chapters. It's shorter than any major game since the *second seijoh game* in season 2. And when I remember that when I started to see the score fly by in the last set (that shouldn't have been the last), I was like "wtf ? why are they rushing up that part ?" at this point I was REALLY expecting a fifth set and at least 10 more chapters. So it was pretty anticlimatic to see the game abruptly end after 4 sets (and the Adlers losing hmmm anyway that's not the topic). That match was supposed to be our last goodbye to the Haikyu characters, and everything I could feel was "there could have been more", a sense of unachievement. The overall pace in that match felt so rushed. It's like we spent 1 chapter on every major character, and then we were done. And I can't imagine how great the final could have looked like if the end wasn't so rushed. And when you've read as many mangas as I have, you can recognize when and ending is rushed. Not that I blame the author of course, it's probably not their fault. And I'm happy for whoever can appreciate that ending as it is. But personnally I just cannot. I follow the Haikyu manga and anime since 2015 and seeing it be so rushed at the most important moment was very underwhelming fro me, because I considered that until there the manga was flawless. And on the content, it still is (mostly). But on the form, that ending really feels hurried.
