USC LIBERO REACTS TO HAIKYUU S2 E13 & E14 | SHOYO VS HYAKUZAWA

[@PedroGabrig]

About they calling him Kei, that's because Kei is actually his name, while Tsukishima is his surname (and it would be very weird for his family to call him by his family name as they're all Tsukishimas). Well, actually most of the characters "names" as we know are actually their surnames. Hinata's name is Shoyo. Kageyama's is Tobio. Tanaka's is Ryuunosuke (that's why his sis' call him "Ryuu"), etc.

[@naylisyazwina6836]

best explanation :)

[@naylisyazwina6836]

Also Nishinoya calling Tanaka, Ryuu

[@lrachpesoj]

Also. Addressing someone by their Family name is a formal way to call someone. You can only call them by their first name if you are someone who is really close to them like family or best friend.

[@デンジュモク-c4i]

A few exceptions: Daichi, Asahi, Kenma, Lev, Aran, and Miya twins. Also, Ushijima is called "Wakatoshi" by his teammates.

[@AllTheArtsy]

@@デンジュモク-c4i Daichi is likely called by his first name because he is captain and his style is to be more.. approachable, i guess? but the girl in his level call him Sawamura Same with Asahi, I think he's ok with being called that by the second years, but Kageyama still calls out to him as Azumane-san. Lev is a first year, often called by other first years or senpai. And I think this maybe a Tokyo thing? Less formal? Kenma is the same. But others not, so preference again Aran is called Aran by the twins maybe just cause they know him since they were young and they thought the foreign-sounding name was cool and he's cool with it Miya twins, there's two of them, will get super confusing if referring to them both as Miya, so they almost get an auto Atsumu/Osamu instead lol Wakatoshi is called that only by the other third years and Shirabu iirc and that's the setter so they work closely together Idk the name thing changing person by person is really just down to preference, but is mostly determined by seniority and closeness

just some notes to help you remember things: -aoba johsai = seijoh, its just like a nickname -red guy is USHIjima WAKAtoshi = ushiwaka shortened (hence why I capitalized those letters in full name), how he is most commonly referred to -ushiwaka is from shiratorizawa, the far and away favorite for this tourney -this tourney is to get into nationals, which is the only way they can face bokuto or nekoma, as neither of those teams is in this prefecture -manager is (kiyoko) shimizu you are doing quite well remembering the teams and characters considering it is your first watch-through. part of me is just watching your series as an excuse to watch the show for the 3rd time, though i do genuinely love watching someone actually get as invested into the show as you (as opposed to just reacting to clips out of context and missing the beautiful story telling this show routinely pulls off)

[@muhammadaizat6007]

Any video on yt ?

[@Intersectingstuff]

@@muhammadaizat6007 I know one not from Japan Women National Volleyball team, but from Brazilian setter Bruno Rezende. Coach Donny once put a clip on his reaction video, of his set which looks like minus tempo to me. You can easily find his highlight plays on KZbin here. It's also common technique in Japanese men Volleyball, if you see higashiyama vs rakunan match, cmiiw but I think there is one point that the set is so quick it's minus tempo.

[@mence5992]

no one can perform a real minus tempo. If you watch close no one leaves the floor before the toss leaves the setter hands. what you are referring are very fast quicks.

[@mence5992]

And i want to go deep in the explanation. Lets start with the video "the most spectacular duo in volleyball", Bruno and lucas are in my opinion the best for a comparison. you can watch (i suggest in 0.25 speed) that Lucas leaves the floor a 0.23(while the toss was already made) and lands on the floor a little before 0.24. So you have nearly 1 second between leaving the floor and landing again. a lump consist in going up, staying at the top for a moment and going down. pretend that you goes up for 0.4 seconds, stay at the top for 0.2 and goes down for 0.4 seconds(but probably it's more like 0.45 0.1 0.45 or even less) you have a sweet spot of 0.2 seconds in which you have to toss the ball from the palm of your hands to the palm of the spiker(that's litterally what hinata and kageyama do). So pretend you can set always to a spiker that never misses the time for the approach and can adjust the spike in 0.1 seconds, you still have to make your ball travel in 0.2 seconds from your hands to his hand. Pretend that the setter is not further ahead or behind the spiker and that he perfectly matches his jump making the set a perfect straight line parallel to the floor. how much distance do you need to perform the set? Everything under 1 meter is impossible, both because you would jump in the same approaching area of the spiker and both because your arms are too long. but just pretend that 2 meters are enough we need a ball that can travel at 10m/s (2meters/0.2 seconds) which are 36 km/h = 22.5 mph. A speed impossible to reach for a toss( spikes can go even 3+ times faster). So even pretending nothing goes wrong, both your spiker and your setter are like robots who never makes mistake in a 0.2 play(so fucking unbelievable) and even pretending you can literally stay that much in air(for me 0.2 seconds at the top of a jump is impossible) and that both your chemistry and training are perfect to match always the same height you still should have the fastest hands in the history of the sport to perform that set.

That interaction between Oikawa and Kyotani (Mad Dog) is pretty much one of my favorite Oikawa moments in the show. It shows that even though Oikawa is shown as this easygoing, trash talking person that's seemingly unthreatening to people not familiar with him, he's intimidating enough that he was able to trigger Mad Dog's animalistic instincts with just one moment. That alongside the fact that Oikawa's an overall great player that has a tendency to overwork himself to injury. He's a fascinating character to study haha

[@kyokokirigiriisonthemenuto9754]

51:30 just to let you know Fukurodani (bokuto’s team) and Nekoma (Kenma’s team) are in the Tokyo prefecture, and Karasuno, Shiratorizawa (Ushijima’s team) and Aoba johsai (Oikawa’s team) are in the Miyagi prefecture. And only one representative from each prefecture (except for Tokyo) can go to nationals. As for the Tokyo prefecture because of how it is larger (and how nationals will be held there) 3 teams from the Tokyo prefecture will be able to go nationals. So Fukurodani (Bokuto’s team) and Nekoma (Kenma’s team) have good chance at going to nationals

[@Pantalaimon91]

It's one team per major tournament. Theoretically 2 can go if two different teams win. Shiratorizawa win the spring tournament so they've already qualified, then the winner is this tournament qualifies as well. Shiratorizawa has won both tournaments for the past several years which has prevented anyone else from qualifying.

The reason for his nickname being "kyōken" (means mad dog), is because it is taken from the syllables of his name Kyōtani Kentaro. Oikawa likes making nicknames just like with Ushijima Wakatoshi (he calls hims Ushiwaka).

USHIjima WAKAtoshi - Ushiwaka The Ushiwaka nickname is from Ushiwakamaru as well, the nickname of a famous samurai, Minamoto no Yoshitsune. KYOtani KENtaro - shortened by Oikawa to Kyoken or 'mad dog'. Japanese culture is big on puns and word plays.

[@randompersonintheworld8124]

29:45 Actually, Tsukki’s first name is Kei, which is why his family members call him Kei. In Japanese culture, normally you call someone by their family name (or last name) if you don’t know them too much or if you aren’t really close, which is why Tsukki’s team members call him by his family name.

[@alanlaw1050]

People in Karasuno are pretty willynilly about family name vs given name policy. Asahi (Azumane) and Daichi (Sawamura) are that (given name) to most players in the team while people like Tanaka, Hinata, Kageyama are just that (family name). Everybody calls Suga, "Suga" (instead of Sugawara), so last names versus first names in sports teams tends to be used all over the place. No matter which culture or country.

[@to.ri.3]

@@alanlaw1050 I think we see the willy-nilliness in Karasuno a lot because we see them the most, so we notice they use a lot of different ways to address people. Some characters are really close to some others (like Yamaguchi to Tsukki or the third years to each other), a character basically calls everyone by their first names (which is Noya, who calls Asahi Asahi-san and Daichi Daichi-san (adding -san as a means of respect), calls Tanaka Ryuu, Ennoshita Chikara, and Shoyo Shoyo), and some characters are probably really dear to others and that's why they have nicknames everyone uses, like Noya and Suga. Meanwhile, some characters like Tsukki and Kageyama simply use the polite way (last name, or last name + san) because they're the introvert, "distanced" types. Giving nicknames actually happens in other teams too, like in Seijo Oikawa calls Iwaizumi Iwa-chan and Kyotani Kyoken, and in Nekoma Kuroo calls Kenma Kenma, and Kenma calls Kuroo Kuro.

If I recall correctly to, I think it was discussed at one of the training camps but Tokyo gets two teams entered into nationals since they host the tournament and then every other prefecture has one team entered in, I think ultimately there's 48 teams at Nationals just based on looking up how many prefectures are in Japan which is 47 plus Tokyo's extra ticket. The current tournament decides who represents the Miyagi Prefecture at the National tournament.

There is a slight possibility that the commenter mixed up the summer Inter-High with the winter Haru-Kou, since until 2019, Hokkaido, Saitama, Chiba, Kanagawa, Oosaka, Aichi, & Hyogo also had 2 slots (for a total of 56 schools) as well for the Inter-High.

Every team is working hard toward a dream of going onto nationals and each is ompeting to the best of their ability. The opposition aren't overly simplified to a bunch of "baddies" that you're supposed to "hate" and jeer at. Every team has different personalities, experiences, and any one of them could be the center focus of the show. Each of them has flaws which you can imagine them working to overcome in some future season. The genius of this show is it shows real life in the sense of everyone is a hero of his own story. And no one is just a cardboard villain put in place only for the "hero" to cut down on his way to the top. Winning isn't about cutting other people down. It's about a unique combination of skill, perseverance, desire, determination, and a bit of luck.

@Maximus Berry not really the context is what's important... the jump is to far apart to make that connections for it even to be a spoiler. even anime onlys that are caught up wont even guess where it goes.

[@vensilenced]

I missed this part, what timestamp is it?

[@manganess5126]

It's so funny because I was just thinking "that's probably safe to Google what school he's from" not thinking that it would just pull up any teams he was on XD (to be fair, she probably used 'team' in her search without thinking about what might come up)

[@mikkosimonen]

A bit about anime production: shows are usually produced in units called a "cour" of about 13 episodes, which is literally a season (as in three month) long. Notice how the new song started in episode 14? That's the start of the secondc cour so they're changing things up. So any time you hit episode 13, expect it to be the last time you hear the same songs.

[@nhatly3612]

37:58 In my experiences growing up in an Asian household/culture, when your elders ask you "have you eaten?", it really means "how are you doing? it's been a while". Kinda along the lines of a Grandma saying "you look thin, has your mom been feeding you?". There's no negative connotation associated with the greeting.

[@owenb9596]

She is going to watch 15 and 16 and end on a cliffhanger 🌞

[@cindywong3801]

btw in japan your last name is what strangers/friends/ classmates calls you but your first name is what like really close friends/ family members/ gf or bf/ wife or husband calls you. so for explain since tsukki’s name is Kei tsukshima his family members call him kei, and other people call him tsukshima or tsukki. :)

[@TimothyGod]

I was so excited when you said early on in the show "he needs to get better with thinking while in the air" referring to Hinata, and when you said that I had the biggest grin on my face. Cause I knew you would love his improvement, well everyone's improvement

[@renagm2415]

One thing that I want to clear out, it that Bokuto’s and Kenma’s team are of Tokyo so Karasuno would only compete against them if they manage to win and go to the nationals.

[@jediburrito]

The interaction with "Mad dog" was basically Oikawa was declaring that he's gonna make him love being on a team with him. He's really manipulative in a good way but Kentaro still being a "mad dog" was reacting instinctually to Oikawa being manipulative. Basically Oikawa is trying to leverage his ability to get along well with everyone to make a teammate with a bad attitude mesh with his team.

[@doubleasworkshop1692]

I used to think the minus tempo was just a anime thing as well, until Coach Donny brought to our attention that the minus tempo was a form of attack the Japanese Female Volleyball team used to win their finals against Soviet Union in 1964. However, I think the anime still makes it look super fast for the cool points

[@swan1153]

got a soft spot for seijoh!! i just love their team dynamic, oikawa’s leadership and the friendship between the third years

[@astralirid3514]

Inarizaki is such a fascinating team, what with the combination of ridiculous offensive talent with the twins, Aran, and Suna and the balancing force at captain with Kita.

[@nikolechastre28xd65]

i guess you're talking about Inarisaki...although i don't think she'll like them...i mean... idk, i feel like she won't like atsumu ..or even his relationship with osamu, Which is a shame coz they're so funny lol and atsumu is one of my fav characters :'D. Also, the thing about liking everyone in haikyuu is part of the way they're presented, as you said, but i woudn't say it's because their written humanly, oc that's part of it too, but it's mostly bc the series is way more realistic and relatable than other spokon series...somehow every team in haikyuu has its own protagonism, even tho the main one is karasuno, and that's bc the series is realistic in that sense. In real life, there's no such thing as protagonists, each person is the protagonist of their own life, and all those stories of everyone get connected at some point directly or indirectly, there's no main team, each team is living their own story and meeting other teams that are also living their own story, which is how real life is. And that's the secret of how haikyuu is the best spokon series in the anime universe lol, at least as far as i've seen.

[@swan1153]

@@nikolechastre28xd65 i guess we’ll see for inarizaki… in the end you can dislike a character’s personality and still appreciate a team for its dynamic and hard work. (and i love atsumu a lot too lol, so i get it.) as for the protagonism that each team has, i definitely agree and that’s kind of what i was trying to get at! narrative tropes don’t work 100% because, like you explained, that’s not how life works! and that’s probably why i’ve seen so many people be surprised about some choices furudate made later on in the manga, or why so many viewers/readers initially trash on the opposing team because they expect them to be assholes and expect karasuno to always be the best of the best. a fantastic series indeed!!!

29:50 Vic by the way the names that are mostly said of the volleyball players are all of their last names, like "hinata" is a last name, "shoyo" is hinata's first name. And Tsukishima's full name is "Tsukishima Kei/Kei Tsukishima" first name:Kei last name: Tsukishima

[@strawberryastronaut]

They haven't been introduced yet but the rival team in season 4 is definitely my favorite and I think you're going to love them too. 🥰 I've always rooted for Karasuno, though, of course!

Hm who am I rooting for, other than kurasano?…. Short answer… all of them! I can’t decide…. They all work so hard! … plus side… I will never be disappointed with the winner if I love all teams.

[@Krngreggo]

Whenever the show naturally answers a question or thought that pops up in your head, it's a testament to the great visual storytelling that Haikyuu has. It's true Yamagucci had left the spotlight for a while -> -> which is why they displayed him still struggling with his float serve at the beginning of the montage -> -> which reminds you that he exists and you wonder if he'll improve -> -> Then they show Yamagucci aces Nishinoya, which feels great! We forget about Yamagucci in the first place because of how captivating the storytelling is for when the spotlight shines on the others.

[@m1raclw08]

YESSS FLY HIGH!! Whenever my friend and I practice volleyball(we're both Haikyuu fans) we listen to Fly High on repeat

Also, my favorite team besides Karasuno is probably Date Tech. Despite being a giant with no eyebrows, Aone is a bit of a cinnamon roll on the inside and so polite and kind to people. The gap between his looks and his personality really makes me want to cheer him on.

The entire thing takes roughly three hours to read in one go.

[@karianahernandezcruz8224]

51:53 Karasuno is from the Miyagi Prefecture if they win in that prefecture (defeat Aoba Josai, Shiratorizawa and other teams) they go to Tokyo to the Spring Nacional Tournament when thay meet Kenma’s team (Nekoma) ,Bokuto (Fukorodani) and other teams. Pd: ( Nekoma and Fukorodani are in the Tokyo prefecture) @VictoriaGarrickVolleyball

[@daphnewang53]

Definitely rooted for Karasuno the first time watching but the more I watch it the more I have a soft spot for Seijoh :'))) I feel like Seijoh's team chemistry is so admirable and that even though Oikawa is kinda a petty and childish character, he's such a people person that he would make you feel like you belong on the team and make you play to your potential.

[@rohananil1266]

“What the F R O O K” Yes.

[@happyslapsgiving5421]

Bokuto's team, Kenma's team and the other two teams from the camp are from Tokyo's prefecture (I forget the name). They might still go to nationals. While Karasuno, Date Tech / Date Kogyo, Shiratorizawa, Johsenji and Seijoh / Aoba Johsai are from the Miyagi prefecture. They're two different regional tournaments. Plus, while it's true that only one team goes to nationals from Miyagi, that is not necessarily true for other prefectures / regionals.

[@jmc-cj2en]

YESSS!! I totally didn't check every hour for this 😅

what makes haikyuu so good is that almost every single team and character is likeable which is why the longer you watch the series the more teams you'll be rooting for.

[@ArgKnoxville86]

51:45 Just FYI, Nekoma, Fukurodani and the other teams Karasuno has been training with belong to another region. So they play in a different tournament to qualify for nationals. Still, you're right, there are many candidates within Karasuno's region alone. Besides them, Shiratorizawa, Date Tech and Seijoh (Aoba Josai) at least.

[@tefi1602]

12:55 "shoyo playing with his brains" YES!!!! THAT'S why I love this development, Shoyo started to think in this season!!

Thank you for the content Vic! ♥ And I am def a Seijoh / Aoba Johsai fangirl lol, the more and more I watch and read the more I fall in love with the team.

[@evanhambrook5485]

Aoba Josai IS Seijoh. They are the same school so you were right when you called them Seijoh. Also the "Mad Dog" interaction was effectively Oikawa deciding that he was going to make "Mad Dog" happy that he returned to practice and that he would get to play with Oikawa, as he started skipping after a fight he had with other 3rd years. "Mad Dog" jumped back though because the look in Oikawa's eyes made him nervous and they are equating him to an animal that can sense a threat.

[@aelingalathynius8685]

I’m the one guy, that cheers for every team, that’s in the audience 😂

[@aman12rawat]

You've got it wrong, Bokuto And Kenma's team is in the Tokyo prefecture. So the only way Karasuno can play them, is to beat every team in their prefecture (Miyagi Prefecture) and go to nationals (assuming that Bokuto and Kenma's team also qualified for Nationals)

[@sebjf]

Day 12 of asking Vic to start a Discord server where her community can hang out and when she watches Haikyuu she can have 2 or 3 people watch with her muted and explain something to her when she is confused and wants help.

THAT'S AN AMAZING IDEA

[@wackywa76]

Omg YEASSS

[@6200Morten]

i think i should be one of them :D no particular qualification, just throwing my hat in the ring, or my jump float ace - if you will :)

[@ArgKnoxville86]

18:52, if you pay attention, in the current intro especially, you can see that Shoyo jumps and is in the air while the ball is dropping into Kageyama's hand. Like old coach Ukai points out, Hinata has completed his approach and jump before the toss. Kageyama is still aiming at Hinata's arm swing.

[@ErickKirei]

I have been waiting months for Victoria to finally see Fly High!(The opening song) and to be able to make this comment with an interesting fact about Hinata's growth, if you rewatch the first opening intro back in season 1 at the end, Hinata spikes with his eyes closed, then on the second opening intro Hinata spikes the ball but he opens up his eyes after he spikes showing that he is starting to grow, and now during this opening the first thing that its highlighted is that Hinata's eyes are completely opened, staring at the ball, showing us that he has overcome his weakness during every scene where he spikes during the intro his eyes are completely opened. IMO It is so cool that the anime gives you this type of information without you even noticing.

[@yourlocaldyke]

Commenting so this'll get pushed up

[@guya1051]

In the next opening Hinata grows a third eye to look at ball even harder. And on the one after that, Hinata becomes the eye.

[@musingmiyu]

I love how she hears the new intro for the first time and she's already like the rest of us and singing along "Tobe fly-y-y~" Also, 29:43 His full name is Tsukishima Kei, Tsukishima being the family name. While it's normal in Japanese that friends often (but not always from what I gathered) call each other by their family name, family members would naturally use the first name.

[@risingrose7927]

Anime logic

[@crimsonhawk52]

Shiratorizawa is one of my favorite teams tbh. The coach is really interesting, I love Ushiwaka and a couple other players. I love their tree and eagle themes and their chant and their school song. They're just a really competitive bunch who take the sport seriously and I dig that they don't let fear or other emotions get in the way -- even if they're only allowed that luxury because of their overwhelming strength.

[@coliebrii]

in anime is normal to change openings (the songs) mid season bc it normally means the end of an arc and the start of another one

Best part of Tuesday

[@DamienLunas]

I love love LOVE the lyrics to the new opening. There's a particular part that goes like "A fledgling covered in wounds glares up at the sky." "Even if all the low-flyers laugh, I want to see the edge of the sea." It's all about shutting out those fixed-mindset haters too afraid to actually try to make it to the top because they think it's impossible and putting everything you have into becoming the best version of yourself.
