When thinking of Haikyuu, despite it feeling like every major character is an essay of the beauty of humanity's flaws and strengths, somehow, every lesson, every theme, every journey, all comes back to Shoyo Hinata.

[@tamarlevy5949]

i love this comment so much. hinata really is such a brilliant protagonist

[@LongJohnStevens]

He's truly the heart and soul of Haikyuu

[@yosuapalagoro487]

Man 🥺

[@luckymankwok]

the brazil arc is exactly the thesis of haikyuu; every little things hinata did in his traning and everyday activities accumulated to build the player he is. Takeda's speech to Hinata in the last game is also what sets apart and exceeded my other all-time favorite Sports anime - Slam Dunk; without spoiling the last game in Slam Dunk, I think Haikyuu is written for professional athletes which emphasizes everyday habits are as important as performance on the field; Slam Dunk encourages average teenagers to get up and do something with their lives and utilize every moment you have as youth to shine.

[@yangcoatienza3273]

Personally for me, Baby steps is the embodiment of something that's written for aspiring professional athletes. I even put it above Haikyuu, I wish people would start talking about it more.

[@takeuchi5760]

"This is still Volleyball", I've always loved that line. Now thinking about it, it's so profound. It's become popular in our culture to romanticize passions. With quotes like "if you find something you love, you won't work a day in your life". But this blatantly ignores that more often than not, you'll need to do things that you won't like to do (at least at the start) while pursuing that passion, and those things, they're still volleyball (or whatever you're pursuing). And this also relates, to the faith Hinata had while training in seemingly unrelated things. It's important to note, that Hinata did a lot of research/learning before he decides what he needs to do (and can have faith in). Once decided, he had faith that no matter what anyone else is doing, no matter how much he's struggling right now, he must keep doing it, as "This is still volleyball". Just masterful. I fucking love Haikyuu.

[@hish33p32]

Preach

[@tamarlevy5949]

takeda is such a wonderful character. he always has these beautiful wisdom poems to give the players but it doesn't feel forced bc not only is he a japanese literature teacher, but that's also the kind of adult he is, one who's taken his life experience and used it to help others to grow. i love his role in hinata's development, and he has one of my favorite lines in the show-- he who climbs the ladder must begin at the bottom. as a person who went through teenage years & early adulthood as a hq fan, takeda has been one of the most impactful characters for me

[@DragonStar524]

I love Takeda-Sensei. He's one of my favorites.

[@JonathanGarcia-jw9dt]

This video is my comfort video. I’ve been watching this video every day multiple times for a little over a week. It fills me with optimism and strength. Thank you.

@@JonathanGarcia-jw9dt no worries! :)

[@youssefmoataz2739]

the one panel that always gets me in my feels is the one in rio where he's crying in the corner of his room in the dark after looking at the picture of him and the other first years

[@olafkotlarz2281]

I really like the quote of kageyama's grandpa "no one understands what is and is not important to you better than you do" when he was talking to his granddaughter about how she quit volleyball because she didn't want to cut her hair. It was seemingly silly reason at first glance but later we find out that she became a hairdresser possibly BECAUSE she took an interest in hair and taking care of it. So it really shows how things can change in the future and how some actions that could be Seen as questionable at the time, show their impact later in life. Great video, keep up the good work!

[@LessonsFromAnime]

Yeah that was such a small yet impactful lesson for me

[@ghastlyglint190]

I cant imagine how Furadate must feel having the finale of this story being so well recieved and loved

[@kanachiaki]

The Brazil arc is by far my favourite arc of the entire manga and, likewise, favourite training arc of all time. It's just so inspirational and emotional, I love that my two favourite charas of the series are there: Hinata and Oikawa. I loved seeing them playing together!! And the final match against Kageyama and co. was pure adrenaline, Hinata was superb and the story had a perfect ending!

[@kittyarchon]

AND THEN THE OLYMPIC MATCHUP WITH OIKAWAAAAAAAA

[@tamarlevy5949]

honestly I might get flamed for this but... best final arc in any manga ever

[@alzbetakrejcova4749]

Don't worry, I think many would agree that the final arc was and still is amazing. It contains lots of life advice and I bet those chapters lifted many peoples spirits 😊

[@bobokun1113]

Ain't disagreeing that one

[@dvs9019]

HOW DARE YOU SPEAK SUCH TRUTH

[@Lilo_D._Boom]

IDK if I would call it the best one for me personally, but I think it's absolutely up there in the top 3. I would probably have Slam Dunk at first place (that last match in Slam Dunk is probably the single greatest thing out of any sports manga/anime), and then Haikyuu and FMAB up there as well.

[@ChIMeRaTeX]

It genuinely has a strong case imho. It's profound, sophisticated, recontextualizes a lot of important things in the series and, beautifully ties together all the different story and- character plot lines and, most importantly, delivered absolutely incredible payoffs. Actually 10/10 ending arc.

[@PriyadarshiniChowdhury]

Haikyuu pulled me out of a 2 year long depressive episode. I randomly decided to watch it one day snd it just made me happy in a way I couldn't imagine. I used to describe every episode to my mom in great detail and basically repeat what I'd learnt from each episode. I started enjoying learning again, joined the state girls' volleyball team, studied all throughout the night, played during the break of dawn, went to school, made friends and started fully living. That way 1.5 years ago! The day I won my first math tournament after a while, I came home to my mom blasting 'Imagination', and man, I could've cried at my Dad being proud of me, because although he couldn't show it, we just knew. Now I'm working towards more national and international tournaments and Haikyuu is always going to be my companion. You say you're a yapper, I say thank you for being it.

[@LessonsFromAnime]

Haha thanks!

[@PriyadarshiniChowdhury]

​​@@LessonsFromAnime you're welcome! We won our ticket to the national championship yesterday! Very excited to just be a nerd at it!

[@ChIMeRaTeX]

To me, Haikyu!! is the perfect blend of concepts. It's enjoyable and entertaining, to the point you can shut your brain off and have a good time watching a few absolute goofballs playing a sport they like playing. But it also features a ton of profound, sophisticated, and meaningful themes and lessons, to the point where you can genuinely find comfort, motivation and growth if you are looking for it.

[@dazzlinglia3183]

I finished the manga TODAY, and I'm still very sensitive about it, but I had to come here to watch this video!! Firstly, as a Brazilian myself I'm honored to have THE Hinata Shoyo in my country! 🙇🏻‍♀️ But seriously this arc was just a delight to read. I was so proud of Hinata for (literally) going so far to learn in a whole new way how to become a better volleyball player. And seeing that boy that once was so eager and impulsive to be at the top, actually discipline himself and refine his skills made me so emotional. I really love this arc so much and the cherry on top was definitely Oikawa and their whole interaction and how that was beneficial for both of them. And i love how it all ties to the final match between BJ vs Adlers and it shows just how much our protagonist has grown, along with the rest of the characters we love so much! I'll be eagerly waiting for a video on this match, pls!! And thanks for another great video!!! 🤧🙏

[@LessonsFromAnime]

Glad you liked it! And yeah it's such a great arc

[@kevinclayborne8259]

bro why am i crying tears of joy

[@akshayrao2706]

Exactly dude .. I almost teared up watching this

[@RyuuImpact]

Ive watched this about a million times already, I watch it when I stretch, eat, and even draw. Everytime I watch it, it gives me a different impression on how I do things and not be so lazy everyday. This video also made me change my daily routine to not be so spuratic. After all one quote in Haikyuu is, "sometimes the hard path is easier" or, something along those lines.

[@jojobeks9016]

I haven’t even watched the video yet but I appreciate u covering this arc ! If u r chasing ur dream , this arc shows u that it isn’t going to be sunshine and rainbows. There are going to be dark moments. But if u remember the people that have supported u on the journey and are consistently trying, evolving and adapting when pursuing ur dream, it will be worth it !! Wherever u end up , enjoy the journey and be open minded to try new things and never be ashamed to ask for help ! Truly my favourite arc. It’s not about the destination , it’s the journey !

[@yllanew]

90 seconds in and i'm already crying :,) hinata has been such an inspirational character to me and the final arc makes me sob every time I read it. his growth and dedication to not only volleyball but taking care of himself is so wonderful. in the words of my other favorite character, you do it right. and you do it every day. my favorite lesson from haikyuu.

[@Lilo_D._Boom]

I'm so scared for how they are going to do the movie because over 60 chapters in one movie there are definitely things that are getting cut, and a lot at that. We'll see I mean A Silent Voice got basically a perfect adaptation so it's not impossible.

[@takua1495]

Haikyuu became my favorite series when I got to the Shiratorizawa match and watching videos like these that go into depth about the series in ways I hadn't thought about during my rewatches/rereads always make me fall more even in love with the series.

[@diegopigeon6959]

I broke up with my ex a month ago, your videos have helped me a lot to grow up in a very short time because I’ve realized that it’s in my hands to become better

[@kork8008]

The whole kamomedai, brazil arc and msby match always was a comfort for me! Its proof that what you do, decide and strive for will come to you. As always, as Kita says. We are built on what we do everyday, and our consistency, routine. It wont always be okay, Hinata knows it, I know it. Its really just securing yourself, that “you did the work, you’re doing it” its just sometimes. We just gotta take the knee, and get up fast. If that makes sense.. thanks for the video! Ive been binging your haikyu vids (podcast style) at work, its very lovely thank you

[@LessonsFromAnime]

Thank you :)

[@Wazzo31]

I dont know if youll read this but i just wanna say tysm for these videos. You REALLY, REALLY dont understand how much they help. You are a very big reason to why I am so positive about life and why I managed to push so far. Because of these videos, my life has changed drastically for the better. The blue lock ones, these haikyuu vids, all of it made me feel so at peace and ok with what life throws at me. I am eternally grateful and I only wish you the best in your life. You deserve it. Thank you man.

[@LessonsFromAnime]

I read every comment haha, and glad they helped!

The more I found stuff, the more I realize the writing of this series is top notch

[@codesage5081]

after watching this arc its difficult to remember the previous arcs as if this was the only arc in haikyuu!!

[@SyybsM]

I adore this arc. It helped me so much going through my own experience as an immigrant in a foreign country.

[@mankey2919]

I watched this video so many times cause of how comforting it is to watch. It's literally has helped me so much handle this last few weeks.

[@jankrishna5470]

Man that opening rally in the final tournament and that insane one with Ushijima never fails to give me goosebumps.

[@Mitchi_14]

I thought haikyuu was good but nothing too special, until I read this arc. As someone who is trying to make it as a pro athlete this arc was way too relatable for me. For anyone else who liked this arc in particular I would highly recommend Real by Takehiko Inoue. Thanks LFA for the great video :)

[@LessonsFromAnime]

Nw :)

[@JamaicanJay]

Haikyuu just always gives me chilllz

[@esthelleg7037]

As a young adult who’s beginning to discover what I love, and who’s just now starting to realize the years of experiences that prepared me for it- thank you for this. Hinata’s final arc is among my favorite in any genre or medium, and you really speak to it here.

[@MM-oi7kv]

Never have I ever wrote a comment to any KZbin video in those 14 years I have had a phone in my life. This video is the greatest motivational video I have ever watched in my life and it came in just the right time. Thank you very much, that was very insightful.

[@LessonsFromAnime]

Wow, thank you!

[@clanime3486]

Damn, hell of a great video! While I know most of us aren't volleyball players, nevertheless pro-athletes, this video is easily relatable to many who are trying to find their place in life. All the days of feeling lost and not knowing about the future, this is still part of Life. This is still a part getting to the future of where you want to be and what you want to do. Everything, no matter how happy or tragic, that you've experienced will be how you get to the future of your dreams. Thanks for the reminder. Came in a near perfect time in my life. Your videos are amazing, thank you for bringing hope and positivity to all of us!

[@LessonsFromAnime]

Truly Great video!

[@bibpydn]

Since I meet Haikyuu, like 10 years ago I always came back to the story when I feel down or when I feel like i am not doing my best, and truth to be told, the time has help me to have a better understanding of the message of the story. I really hope that this last arc really get and adaptation to anime.

[@totonoen6453]

Man, I couldn’t say how happy am I to stumbled on your channel. Great stuff! I started playing volleyball for about four months already. And I have to say that it completely changed myself. The way I trained, eat, and rest. I always looked up to Hinata for his hardworking towards his goals. It has been such a hard time for me, especially when I did not reach my performing standards. But I know if I keep doing it, if I keep showing up to the court, doing practices, failed over again and again, I’ll definitely get better! You just don’t know what life will bring you when you’re feeling that you make zero progress or you didn’t make it anywhere, but you still choose to fight and not giving up no matter what.

[@Dr1z.]

The most real video, solving relatable daily life problems which often go unnoticed by everyone... but are actually the most important to overcome. Love you bro

[@LessonsFromAnime]

Thanks!

[@mani3001]

Haikyuu is incredible, all of it! But those last arcs really are something else When I first started watching it, in 2015 ish, I never would have though it would have such an impact

[@sheesh1320]

I love training arcs in sports anime or like bouncing back from a terrible defeat ace of diamond has the yips arc which is some of the most painful story telling but my favourite at the same time

[@kulsoomshaikh3950]

I'm so glad I stumbled on this video. It helped me understand the story a bit better. I have been dreading to read the manga because reading mangas isn't my thing, but I love haikyuu, and recent rewatching made me fall in love even deeper not only with Hinata but all the characters that I disliked when I first watched haikyuu ( a few years ago).

[@kageman]

God I love this channel bro. The lessons you give are so essential. Going through stuff you never would've expected and then not being able to double back to where you were instantly right after is something I wasn't used to. But "climbing the ladder" from the bottom is something we all gotta do. Fire.

[@LessonsFromAnime]

Thanks dude!

[@espeon_gamer3417]

I Almost cry in this video, i already read the manga and its give feeling but i never been realize this. this video, your video remind of " Kita " and the word you said "I am built upon the small things i do everyday, and the end result are nothing more than a byproduct of that"

Beautiful video that almost made me cry! This manga changed my life and I started playing volleyball because of it. And Now I also switched to beach volleyball and I want to become the best I can be, so what is our main protagonist going through is very touching and a big inspiration for me where to go next in my life. I just bought Haikyu vol. 42 with this Brazil arc and I cant wait to reread it and learn from it again. Im interested in how will I perceive it this time when Im older. Thank you for this beautiful video that reminded me to dont stop working and work more if you want to achieve your GOALS

Just motivated me to watch the anime, as an athlete myself. Also peru mentioned 12:58 🇵🇪

[@HereAndNotThere]

I’ve been debating about whether or not I should watch this video because I have never read the manga but today i did it. It did spoil that insane twist for me but man i dont even really care, if anything the message and the philosophies you so eloquently analysed just made me even more hyped for whenever it gets animated. Thank you so much for the great content man, hope it continues to go well😁

[@Serenabuttercup]

I really thank you for deciding to make this channel and delivering such videos i stumbled upon your shinsuke kita's philosophy accidentally and it gave me such an overwhelming perspective that i never knew i could have and then this ......I'm not exaggeration but you sort of saved my life i completely lost and forget what my true self was due to reccuring problems in my life until i realised... And it's so funny and amazing how simplest things can change your life.... I hope your channel grows infinitely 🌸☁

[@gensynjent.espiritu7568]

I love haikyuu and will always find it uplifting and inspirational. I'm going to keep this video close in mind and heart as I'm currently working right off the bat after graduating.

best video i have ever seen in my life

[@LessonsFromAnime]

Thanks

[@mad_hatter7956]

I never knew I will get this emotional just because of an character/arc essay/analysis video about Haikyuu. I never even watch or have plan to watch Haikyuu until last year. It was one of the only free anime on the app where I was watching (I watch different genre). Volleyball is one of my least favorite sports even though I played it a lot when I was in elementary. My friends and even a cousin of mine kept trying to convince me to watch Haikyuu but I kept invading it and always makes excuses that I only watch it if the anime or the manga was done. And now, even there's other more famous anime such as JJK, BNHA, etc. Haikyuu is now my favorite anime of all time (before was first Death Note and then D Gray Man). The character development, and how the characters are realistic than other sports anime I watch (with powers or whatnots). I really love your thoughts (the first video of yours I watched was Sugawara's and we have the same thought about him, it also made me cry, also Tsukki's 😂)

[@CherryNah]

Dude, i just really needed something like this right now. Thank you and thanks to Haikyuu, Hinata, Takeda sensei... 🎉

[@DoNothingCrazy]

after reading haikyuu, what im conviced is the greatest sports anime of all time and one of the goats shonen or anime for that matter I had to read the other greatest sports anime of all time, slam dunk. What surprised me is how much the series mirrors each other and how furudate almost acknowledges the other, paying homage to what must be the shoulders of a pillar of the world his story is making its mark on top of and with but almost subverts the expectations left by it. The dynamic between hinata and kageyama, the relationship with the coaches, their run to win every single game so they can reach the top/grand finals. But with what inoue made in a hoosiers like story, the underdogs winning and beating the odds, furudate offers somehow a more realistic and even more satisfying ending that still reflects the conceit of the show he had been not so subtly hiding throughout the story. Slam dunk is the fantasy underdog story manga readers attach to because they too want to know what its like to try, to overcome and to win at an endeavor or sport they set their heart onto. Haikyuu offers the real life look at what that actually is like for ppl who go down that route and through the avatars of kageyama and hinata become professional athletes. There are hardcore laws that haikyuu revolves around, the better team, the players who put the most time and did the most careful and thoughtful preparation get to advance, it doesnt matter how much you cry or wish it was you winning, the stronger and luckier players win. Its almost like hes addressing the finale of slam dunk at how ridiculous it is through hinatas spring tournament run. When hinata gets sick and cannot go on a good coach wouldnt keep him playing just so they could win one highschool tournament like slam dunks does, the goals of the characters are bigger and more long term than that. The protagonists you watch struggle succeed and fail in the world of highschool volleyball learn the importance of time, practice, dedication and health. Through that some of them become pros yes, but the main conceit of the show was to exemplify how embracing the hard goals that the cruel world of sports has to offer can leave you with lessons to let you succeed in any field you set your mind to and want to do.
