TOWNS PERSON B!! | COLLEGE VOLLEYBALL PLAYER REACTS TO SEASON 2 EPISODE 3

[@MajorReynolds92]

"i don't wanna say he's emotionally intelligent" NO NO, that's _exactly_ what Hinata is, he may not necessarily be consciously aware of it himself, but he very often gets an excellent and relatively accurate read on what other people could possibly be feeling or thinking in most contexts, it's a large part of what makes him get along with almost everyone he interacts with edit: also i love how Yachi's mom asks "how will you catch the attention of people walking by" and then it shows Hinata traveling on his bike and stopping in his tracks to look at the poster she made, just like how he stopped to watch the Little Giant when he was younger, so poetically perfect

[@4yinyang]

Big agreement on all points here! When it comes to different types of intelligence especially I have trouble finding a better example than Hinatas character for this! (Kageyama is also a really good example of strategic intelligence and/or "athletic" intelligence as some have called it, all whilst completely lacking in academic and emotional intelligence.)

[@ramansgdeep]

Calling hinata emotionally intelligent and the consequences of his actions as intentionally brought, is a disservice to Suga's character and his emotional intelligence. Hinata's just upbeat, upfront, and energetic. That's what positively affects people. Hinata tries sometimes, but that's not what helps people. For example, if a child sees an adult person being sad and gives them their balloon/candy, thinking the balloon/candy will make them feel better, then does the possession of having a balloon or candy makes the adult feel better or seeing a cute small child smiling and trying to make them feel better would help them? Would finding a balloon/candy in the park have the same effect? Would receiving them from another adult have the same effect? Similarly, it's hinata's personality, and not his actions resulting from argued emotional intelligence that helps people.

[@seekittycat]

​@@ramansgdeep Not to dive too deep into spoilers but Hinata demonstrates his emotional intelligence by understanding when not to help. It's not like Hinata is mentally calculating but he IS emotionally aware of when to help, how to do it, and to who. In S1 when Tanaka was feeling down Hinata didn't know what to do to cheer him up. Hinata was scared of saying the wrong thing or even what to say. He had to learn how to communicate, just like Kageyama. Hinata's strong EQ simply means he picks it up fast and without guidance.

[@hmnuladno]

i would probably say Hinata isn't exactly emotionally intelligent, but it's like he has A LOT of empathy for EVERYBODY and he maybe can understand others REALLY easy and relate to their experiences wholeheartedly as like it's his own wins and loses. And also he is good at finding good at people, compliment it very openly, find common interests and talk, and talk, and talk (it's much more easier to find friends, if you can just talk a lot with the strangers, and compliments make people happier and more appeasable). He has no enemies, only competitors.

[@amiratazkia]

@@hmnuladno high empathy is high emotional intelligence, he doesn't have to be aware of it and he lacks "maturity" compared to suga's emotional intelligence. Hinata is the sunshine version of high EQ, when Suga is the wise/water-type kind of EQ. searing hot vs calming waves

[@foxinasweater2300]

"I've never heard a sentence that described my philosophy more than that" Is the reason why I think Haikyuu will be one of the greats for a long time. There's a character later that I had the exact same feelings to, and I think there are many characters for the many different types of people and none of them are really shown to be "wrong" just different. Haikyuu is a show with many philosophies that are surprisingly deep for a sports anime. I think you'll be running into this sentiment a lot.

[@EireehsPhil]

Don't worry about the other's opinions about your reaction to Tsuki. Personally, I like your reactions towards Tsuki and Oikawa. They're the type of characters that would take some time to grow on you as you know and understand them better.

[@glitzdancer]

I agree sometimes I think people watching reactors have developed their love for characters so much they forget how they first felt about them too. Everyone I know took a long time to like tsukki but everyone is so quick to get mad when others don’t like him because they have the idea of later tsukki in their head and it changes how they look at him now so they forget why people don’t like him yet

[@shammoi]

Honestly, I didn't like Tsuki at first before Hinata and Kageyama joined the team but he instantly became my favorite cause he brought a different personality to the Karasuno lol

[@4yinyang]

It's honestly kind of resfreshing and vindicating for me since this is the first time I've seen someone else go through the exact same thought process for both characters theoughout the story as me.

[@jacobherrera8735]

That’s what makes them such well written characters, some people understand and like them right away, some hate them at first and take time to like them. I completely understood Oikawa’s character right away and loved him, but it took time for me to like Tsukki.

[@randomzit.]

yeah u right! 😂 lachy towards tsuki is just like me lol, so relatable 🤣

[@MsVelve]

"Nishinoya is mentioned as much as Kageyama" - sir, Nishinoya was 1) described as Karasuno's unique genius player, 2) got the Best Libero Award during one of his tournaments. If Oikawa, having the Best Setter Award, is widely known in the volleyball world, so is Noya 🔥🔥🔥

[@lachyywhite]

Yes sir he my #1

[@erict1628]

6:35 Not sure if you caught on, but Yachi's mother seems to be a single working mom in a competitive corporate world. Yachi mentioned that she's working in a design firm, and she's probably at a managerial level since that guy calls her "senpai" meaning she's his senior. As such, she has to be passionate about her work, as well as strong will and probably a bit ruthless as well. That's pretty much what she's trying to instill onto Yachi, not ruthlessness, but passion. And she's right about it being rude joining a group of passionate people when you're half-assing it. She just didn't convey it in a nicer way.

[@CactuarNick]

Also when she says "I'm counting on you for breakfast" she's basically admitting that she appreciates Yachi's help and she's counting on her since she doesn't have the time. I fucking LOVE Yachi's mom.

[@galewindscar4474]

good call out. I think she's easily misunderstood by reactors. it could be also a cultural difference with how asian parents are harsh with their children - could it have been conveyed in a softer manner? probably. she means well especially about the passion thing - she's respecting how hard the athlete's are working so I didn't really understand how it came off as narcissistic. i'd say it's even humble to validate other people's effort.

[@CactuarNick]

@@galewindscar4474 I could be a little biased since I'm half-korean with a korean mom, and as a kid it definitely came off harsh especially compared to my friends american parents, but as an adult I can look back and say she was doing her best and meant the best for me.

[@dorin497]

Didn't convey in a nicer way? I'm asian, and that was already a nice way is saying it. Just straight to the point.

[@dorin497]

Didn't convey in a nicer way? I'm asian, and that was already a nice way is saying it. Just straight to the point.

[@relaxingvibes7035]

The thing about Yachi's Mum I think speaks a lot about the difference in asian culture in general cause when I first watched it I (an asian) saw nothing wrong about how she talked (cause thats how parents normally talk) but I know she means well. I think its also implied that she is a single mom so usually single moms want their child to be as tough as nails because of how they needed to be tough/cold to raise a child alone. But thats just my take on it

[@CookieMonster-vk8kf]

I agree, in most Asian households (in general), gentle parenting is still not a very popular idea. Most I've seen from experience are all about tough love, especially considering she is probably a single parent and first time parent

[@alisonmiller4636]

The relationship between Yachi and Shimizu is one of the bet I have seen between similar aged mentors. The advice that you do not have to start with a huge passion but can be just interested in something is such a great thing to learn and can be applied to so much.

[@lachyywhite]

I love the themes they bring up in this show

[@Aisha-fd1oq]

I think part of the thing with Yachi is, as we see with her academics, she's competent enough that she can get by without too much effort on things she doesn't care a lot about (something she has in common with someone like Tsuki), AND she's anxious enough that she finds it hard to throw herself into caring about something without massively overthinking it--and that's before you throw in the high-achiever, tough-love mother (who does care, but inadvertently puts a lot of extra pressure on her!). But she WANTS to be able to approach things like Hinata and Kageyama do; she admires it a lot even though she struggles to understand it. (I'm NOT very competitive, so really relate to that aspect of her.) She grows so much in this episode; making the choice to try something new and actually go for it, realizing that she can get really excited about this sport she knows nothing about, and also realizing that she has skills of her own that they need: no one else (not even Kiyoko!) could have been that useful a tutor or helped with the fundraising problem the way she did. Hinata seeing himself in the same shop window where he first saw the Little Giant is beautiful; I tear up every time.

[@ShiroKage009]

Tanaka and Buddhism is a great motif. The buzz cut, the jokes, the change in demeanor. Love this running joke.

[@Denf0]

I think season 2 episode 2-3 have the most impressive bits of technical writing in the entire series. The sheer scale of truly comprehensive characterization and rapid development of both Yacchi and her mom all crammed into two episodes with the perfect balance of depth, pacing, and emotional payoff by the end is worthy of awards. Her first comment caught me off-guard too (as I'm sure was intended) but her reaction when her assistant calls her out on it tells you everything you need to know about her character - she worked hard to get where she is now with very little encouragement or support so she expects the same from Yacchi, but it's clear that she struggles to connect with her on a personal level. Looking at it through that lens, everything she says & does for the rest of the episode makes perfect sense.

[@Shwindu]

13:53 ok can i just say, overlooking the fact that the girl's changing scene was extremely tastefully done, it's even better because of this scene happening in the exact same episode. At first you think it's just a sneaky fanservice moment (which, to be fair, it *could* be), but then they do the EXACT same thing for the guys. Idk, it's a really small detail but I love how easily they level the playing field.

[@Glasi2212]

People dont understand that they have to view your opinion from your point of view. They watch the whole show with all character developments and try to judge your opinion based on their knowledge what will still happen. And even if they didnt, dont apologize for your own opinion!! Just keep it up, love seeing you fall more and more in love with this show. It might be hard to believe but it will still just get better from here on

[@mrfr33b0i2]

"I don't wanna give him the credit of being like, smart"

[@lachyywhite]

Caught red handed hahaha

[@bree-chan]

This ep hits so hard. Because 2 type of people watching this show. The ones that found there passion and dive in head first. And the ones still looking and full of doubt. Not everyone can be our boys, and for everyone else here's Yachi. Feel like author is speaking to us through Hinata. encouraging us to let go of doubt and dive in.

[@TimothyGod]

Nah, hinata is emotionally intelligent. He knows how to communicate to people, and understand them. Especially when it comes to doing what you want.

[@Cremlindor]

Yachi is such an unexpected yet very interesting addition to the show and it adds some flavour that I didn't think I needed

[@dchen8874]

"this is a show about volleyball but we're hitting these hard themes" yep that's haikyuu, it's volleyball but also life lessons!

[@strawberrystars8302]

ACOUSTIC 💀 (autistic) time for me to make the most niche meme ig

[@jasmine9581]

Pfft I only recognized it because of my sister She thinks(?) it's possible that I'm smth in that area bc half the time I don't understand what she's saying or why (and situational stuff) Sometimes she's joked like "what are you, acoustic" which makes us both laugh (and sounds like a reference to smth) So when it was said here I was like aayyy

[@maybeasofa]

This episode was emotional 🥹 Season 2 is so good 😁

[@Catwenee]

This is one of my favourite episodes 🥰🥰🥰 RE: Yachi's mum. I think she means well, she just goes about it the wrong way. She is probably too blunt for Yachi. To the people criticizing his opinions on Tsuki, I know! But stop it, you'll end up spoiling it for him, lol

[@Timerin]

Real, hard to hold back there ngl

[@4yinyang]

I find it easy to hold back sonce I remember being of the exact same opinion of pretty luch ever character as he is at this stage so for me I just feel vindicsted more than anything. XD

[@amyjohnson3776]

I love the parallel between HInata in the first episode seeing the TV and this one seeing the poster! This is such a good episode. I do have to ask, as of right now who is your all time favorite character?

[@lachyywhite]

Making me tear up at that scene! And my favourite is probably Diachi or Noya! It's so hard to pick tho hahah

[@robertjames6936]

[@goawayinternet]

Hahahaha I'm glad you liked this one, it's one of my favorites. So many genuine life lessons. I think anyone can relate to Yachi's feelings.

[@SaruDTB]

Yachi is the perfect example of, you don't have to be like everyone else, just find what can you bring to the table and it will find its place. She's so coool 💜

[@Noir026]

I've binged all your Haikyuu reactions over the last 2 days and am loving them!! So amazing getting insights from an actual volleyball player and another point of view on what's happening with our boys Looking forward to you seeing all the future episodes!

[@Keneita]

One of the reasons I love haikyuu so much is the way they show what it’s like to be competitive. My current high school gymnastics team is struggling because they’re so convinced we can’t win anything, but I’ve always been super competitive. I love watching Hinata because he makes me feel like I’m not crazy for believing that we can win if we try!!

[@lachyywhite]

couldn't' agree more! Don't apologise for wanting to be the best

[@MrFerchin12]

Yachi became such a beloved character so quick for me. After this episode she shot up so far up my list and currently she’s my favorite non-player character in this show. I empathize so much with some of the things she does or says, I feel she’s the representation of those of us who don’t play volleyball and are amazed at what we see each time we watch a match. (Well I HAVE played volleyball, but kinda casually, so I’m counting myself as that 😂) As always, great reaction man, and don’t worry about responding “late” to the comments, you sharing your thoughts in the video is more than enough and with all the people here, it’s completely understandable if you can’t get through all the comments that quick anymore. Keep being awesome 😎

[@lachyywhite]

They did such a great job of connecting you with her so quickly! I definitely really like so much of her character already

[@jakeDgirl]

You were very spot-on in your theory last episode that Yachi has a strict parent. I relate to her so much too. I practically have the same story. Single mom who had to be tough in work and in life because she had to raise me alone. On her desire to make sure I get a better life than her, she pushed me too hard in academics; and for the most part, I excelled in school because I like learning and am an introvert. It was after school that effed me up. My social skills are below average. I was raised to be a perfectionist. In school, if i don't get perfect grades, it just boils down to a lower number or letter in my record. But in real life, I feel like if I fail, the world will end. Now, mom says I'm too paranoid and anal. "Well who was hyper strict with me huh?" hahaha I'm still working on myself haha

[@lachyywhite]

Hahaha they do a great job of show casing that situation really well

[@siverthaugen6006]

To answer your question about competitiveness, my attitude as an athlete has always been to aim as high as possible. Often that results in me not being happy with my own performance even when my team wins or I do good. As long as I can do better I try to make sure that next time I will.

[@4yinyang]

I've always said that strenght (regardless of what definition of strenght you're using) is a paradox. The strong are the ones who are never satisfied and cast away their strenght to gain a new, higher limit. That said it is important to recognised that nothing is perfect and so it is okay to be hapoy with oneself and be proud of your accomplishments in order to keep a healthy outlook on it all. Sorry if I started to sound preachy and lecturing, that isn't my intent, I just find this perspective very interesting and wanted to share my thoughts. To finish off I want to say that I respect people like you!

[@siverthaugen6006]

@@4yinyang Not reason to be sorry at all! I’d say you managed to formulate my perspective better than I did to be honest. At the end of the day you play sports for fun, and in my experience losing just isn’t that. But if you’re never satisfied with yourself, naturally that isn’t fun either. It’s all about finding the middle ground, and what that means is different from person to person. How great is this community btw? Don’t know about a lot of other channels where you could hold such a genuine conversation, and not have anybody being offensive or inconsiderate in any way.

[@twtw2401]

I'm so grateful for your talk on hypercompetetive people and those that are not. I'm overall on the rather uncompetetive side of things. I've never defined myself through losses or wins. I'm way to curious in life to get hung up on those things. Not to take away from people that are, sometimes I envy people that seem to always care! But you made me realize just now, that I'm currently the outsider for being more invested and trying harder then everyone elde in my apprenticeship to become a nurse. It's been irritating me recently, that people are constanly making comments about me always asking questions to the teacher. Thank you for making me feel less weird and more unique! Keep up the amazing work. I'm so glad KZbin put your channel on my feed during Episode 2 of your Haikyu journey

[@clementinekitten8305]

im so sorry, but you saying "acoustic" instead of "autistic" (about kageyama) made me howl with laughter 😭 such a great episode, and i related to you talking about your competitiveness. i don't play sports anymore, but i used to cry after every loss when i was a kid -- which happened often because our school/team was really small -- and i'd feel embarrassed, like i wasn't 'good enough' to feel that way even though i always gave it my all and really wanted to win. i think it's part of a larger thing about people being afraid of showing passion because they may be labelled cringe or tryhard or any number of high school insults. passion and emotion makes the world go round, yo ✨

[@tubbylita]

I lol'd at the acoustic comment too! 😂😂😂

[@lachyywhite]

I love everything about this comment

[@komos3719]

Good on you for bringing your opinions to the table, man. To be fair to you (and I'm in the future from this video so ik you already have some idea now lol), most everyone else coming to watch has seen this series through to the end and we've seen characters reach the end of their journey and have had the final/fully realised version of the character for a long time so it's a contrasting perspective. I'm someone who greatly admires passionate/competitive people because I often struggle to ignite that fire for myself - I find that energy infectious. I think the only danger of it is that it can turn into obsession, by which I mean if you let everything else (like your health and such) fall to the wayside in singular pursuit of something. But so long as it stays healthy, I personally think it's admirable. And I'm surprised Yachi resonated with you as much as she did but I'm so glad, she's a favourite of mine.

[@clausewitzianwar]

Hinata's not necessarily emotionally intelligent, but he's "emotionally lucky." He somehow manages to stumble into saying and doing the right things to help people even if he's not aware that's what he's doing.

I'm really enjoying re-experiencing Haikyuu with you (as well as My Hero!). My favorite boys are Oikawa and Tsukki and I find your reactions to them funny. On another note, when I first watched this episode I was freaked out at how perfectly Yachi and her mom mirrored me and my own mom (like... Are we being watched???). I think Yachi and her mom just have wildly different personalities, so the way her mom is trying to help her grow doesn't really work, but her intentions are good and in the end it's clear she loves her very much.

i'm on the opposite end if the competitive spectrum where i don't have a competitive bone in my body but i always give 120% of my effort. i played volleyball in high school and only got game time because of this. i was never the best on my team or the most enthusiastic but they always had me in back row (realized later that i was one of the liberos but my rookie coach never used the term) because if the ball came my way, i always managed to get it up. i don't have much else to say, i just wanted to give my personal experience as someone with no competitiveness lol for me, it's not about winning but more about surpassing what i feel are my own limitations, if that makes sense

7:57 one thing i really appreciate about haikyuu is the lack of fan service. Any scene with the girls in a state of undress is very much non sexual. There is the one moment where kiyoko is introduced (very mild for anime) and the boys being pervy occasionally (they're teenage boys) but that is like nothing compared to a lot of shounen series. It's also one of the reasons I think the author might be a woman lol. No evidence for it, just a vibe I get

I'm also not a supporter of how the mother handles it, but she does have a point with stating: "if she gets discouraged by me, she will get discouraged by smaller things too" though I think it should still be in the interest of the mother to support her (wrote this before listening to your opinion) [After hearing] I think the narcissistic idea is an interesting view, though you have only seen a small part of the mother yet, I think it's an interesting theory to state that from what you have seen till then. [Edit1]: I just love how cold the scene is when Hinata says: do you need a reason not to not want to lose? In general, I think Hinata has some cold moments in season 2, the war declaration, this scene, I think even some more scenes I don't remember right now in the future! [Edit2]: you are finally pausing more, and this is totally fine! Take your time to talk your mind out! Even if the show explains something a few seconds afterward! We are here to listen to you! And me personally, I'm a rather competitive person, and in my opinion, there is no reason to be ashamed of not wanting to lose! If you are the only one with that will on the team, then spark even stronger for them. [Edit3]: Because of the thing you said about Hinatas emotional intelligence, if you like what he is currently doing for others without noticing, then wait for the beginning of season 4, it has some banger emotional scenes again! [Edit4]: I'm interested about what you think of her mother now.

No apology necessary for the late replies to comments! You still trying to reply to every comment even with your channel blowing up and maintaining such regular high quality reactions is a feat of its own but the fact that you even felt so bad about replying late that you had to apologise speaks to how much you love your audience. It's a crazy sight to see but very refreshing and humbling honestly. It's been a great journey so far so just know we all really appreciate the reactions as well as the comments, you're really making it feel like just watching with your friend group like you always say 😅 try not to put too much pressure on yourself though, I think I can speak for everyone when I say we'd rather you slow things down a little bit if you're struggling rather than push through and end up burning out before you get through the series.

[@lachyywhite]

I appreciate you so much! Thanks for your kind words

[@MarinaAnchors]

YEAHHHHH!!!!! TOWNPERSON B!!!!! I think a lot of commenters are probably forgetting they didn't like Tsukki at the beginning either I can't wait to see if your opinion changes over time

[@basiamorris-bruton7318]

I interpreted Yachi’s mom’s words as trying to get Yachi to put in effort. My mom used to say something similar.

[@darqlyte1104]

Simply said Hinata has pure intention with no hidden agenda behind his word/ action

[@lachyywhite]

AMEN!!

[@Shinobi_sac]

The "shoe putter onner thing" is a shoehorn (at least in the UK)

[@lachyywhite]

Thats it!

[@mauvefleur]

Yachi's mom is presumed to be a single mom. She provides for her and Yachi so sometimes its more acceptable if the child pitch in some chores at the house. Idk how it works in other countries but that's how it was here in some parts of Asia. And Yachi's mom really comes off as a strong independent woman and her words really needed some phrasing. And Tsukki will never do that welcome pose lmaoooo

[@lachyywhite]

Ahhhh okay that makes a bit more sense! I didn't realize she was a single mum, so it would be much tougher for her

[@seanchapman2712]

This is my favorite reaction, even with the Tsuki hate.

[@lachyywhite]

Hahahaha appreciate you! 👑

[@Saaaaaaraaa]

I don't get people who getting upset if you don't like the character. They already have a chance to get full opinion about Tsukki and you still learning about him. I hated Tsukishima at the beginning but after some time he grown on me and now he is one of my favourites but still when I'm re watching Haikyuu I don't like him at the beginning but now I understand his motivation because I already watch it. And I still dislike Yachi's mom and I know people would get angry at me for that. So please don't stop vocalising your opinion because people will be upset, we watching you because we want to know what are you thinking!

[@monkut]

"Koi(恋)" also means "love", which is why Yachi was taken aback. 😅

[@lieny]

which part was this?

[@errorist_]

I love this episode so much, can't wait for the rest of the season two! And please don't be afraid of sharing your opinion, that's why we are here! Hope you're having a great day x

[@tonders]

yeah, this season is great, especially for true fans of the sport.

[@lemonkatze7461]

yall need to stop hyping up tsukki getting better or else we will get there and he wont have any feelings about it because your spoiling it. to much hype is the death of excitement

[@kujiisz]

Japan is old school, they have meeting for everything, paper work for everything.. Everything just move so slow and workers are stuck at the office for longer than they should be

[@giannenivera2329]

season 2 is just the actual bomb broo 😭

[@somefatguy616]

See what we said about S2, great reaction again this week dude, I'm super competitive as well to the point that if someone challenges me to something I know I'm good at I won't let on how good I am before hand so I can definitely win 😂 Don't burn out trying to keep up with every comment, maybe pick 3 at random from a pool you liked and discuss them before/after the video each week, you need time for yourself man, don't be pulling a hinata and go flat out 24/7.

[@lachyywhite]

Always keep an eye out for yours! and I definitely relate the the challenge and needing to win it😂

[@akashgudigar807]

7:30 *Everyone starts furiously typing*

[@kita_no_ryuu]

so, your strict parents prediction from the last episode was spot on!! though i wouldn't go as far as to call yachi's mom narcissistic, i get where you're coming from also didn't expect the kageyama is autistic headcanon to appear in this episode lol, it's one of the things you can't unsee once you think about it imo, especially as an autistic person

[@vladimirpeace-kun2084]

Shoutout to Lachy's Legends!

[@lachyywhite]

Ayooooo lets go!!

[@EireehsPhil]

People need to realize that you're just new to haikyu!! and doesn't know what we know.

[@dchen8874]

yachi is so precious hinata is great at communicating and breaking awkwardness, i want a hinata for myself too

[@kisat3858]

"no one actually have that many meetings" and "meetings don't need to be long" well, you've never experience meetings in Japan right? 😂

[@snorlysqueak4391]

Technically what Yachi's mom said is a mindset of respect that is ingrained in japanese culture in which can be misinterpreted, this mindset can also be foud in most asian countries but it is more noticeable in japan. BTW Great video as always, I love how you breakdown scenes and emotions of characters and how you compare and contrast it with your experiences. Thank you for sharing these exp. with us 😊 . Edit as for the meetings, Japan just has a bad case of overworking everyone, my uncle although not overworked by his company they would regularly hold meetings and business trips

[@CactuarNick]

Also, you're supposed to hate Tsukki, he has a journey just like everyone else does but it feels like he's the last one so it takes awhile. The commenters can't seem to put themselves back in Season 1 or 2 when you're SUPPOSED to feel this way about people so you can be surprised later. They really are ruining his arc for you by telling you how amazing he is when nothing has fucking happened yet. You're supposed to dislike him, keep doing what you do. ALSO: Yes, Nishinoya was considered one of the top prospects when picking his school, I think he won the award for Best Libero kind of like how Kageyama and Oikawa won the Best Setter awards? Someone can correct me if I'm wrong.

[@chrislewis2946]

Acoustic.. that resonates

[@ekroook]

One of my favorite episode ^^

[@lachyywhite]

Agreed!

[@TimothyGod]

There's very few times that a new addition to a group, or team is easy for me. Yachi is a great example of a good character that joins later

[@dorin497]

we asians experience more brutal tough love parenting than Yachi's mom shows in this episode. but we don't think it is bad, we still love our parents, and we appreciate and understand as we got older. Aside from her not being able to vocalize her intentions, you can see Yachi is in good terms with her mom. Yachi learned design (through her notes and ability to create a poster) which would indicate that her mother does give time to her. If not, Yachi wouldn't.

[@lachyywhite]

A great way too look at it!

[@chadcharest9891]

I don't think I'm competitive. I enjoy competition, and I certainly try to win. But above winning my goals in a competition are - To have fun, to build relationships with others, and to grow and improve.

[@mad_hatter7956]

There's nothing wrong having an opinion about someone based on how their actions came up to you. Everyone have different opinion and way of understanding a person. And the fact that Tsukki always being sarcastic and being a "little" shit all the time didn't help. He still not letting us see his inner child and worries or his true self.

[@nicolasrojas7988]

Season 2 pace is just amazing
