Idk if you noticed it, but Kageyama at the end started to say that "I" wouldn't lose, instead of "we".

[@aditisingh3174]

So Haikyuu's author in his interview was once asked how did he come about to make such an amazing story about volleyball to which he said "That volleyball has been a very important part of my life in school. I loved playing volleyball and it was my passion. Though I could not do much about that passion to make it my career, I wanted to tell people more about this game that I love so much. So even if you don't know anything about volleyball I wanted to write a story and a fun filled journey that would make you root for these guys."

[@eyla5789]

Aoba Johsai literally means "west of Aoba Castle", which is historically known as Sendai Castle. The school's shortened name is 青城 (pronounced as Seijō or Seijoh when romanized.) It comes from Aoba Johsai's first and third kanji being put together. So it's referred to interchangeably Kindaichi, or turnip head, was on Kageyama's junior high team when he was still doing those insane tosses no one could react to, that's why Oikawa says "That's where Kindaichi always scored the best", since he has a little experience setting for Kindaichi in junior high and now on Seijoh, and also because Kageyama never actually bothered to adapt to his spikers and their habits Kunimi, the indifferent looking guy with dark hair parted into two sides down the middle, was also on Kageyama's junior high team together with Kindaichi. He lazily chased after the ball in episode 1 saying that it was pointless to go for it So both Kindaichi and Kunimi, who were very annoyed with Kageyama are now first years at Seijoh. So Kageyama has to play against Oikawa and his two former teammates As the match goes on and Kageyama gets more annoyed, he starts saying "I" more instead of "we", which shows us a glimpse of his King of the Court character For both the first and second season of Haikyuu there are a total of two opening and ending songs, which change starting from episodes 14 onwards. The third season only has one opening song since it's only ten episodes. Then the fourth season has two opening and ending songs again, which change from episodes 14 onwards.

[@randomdud668]

Thanks for this! I always wondered why the use the two names interchangeably!

[@rhodostoma7525]

[@eduardomatheusborges8739]

[@MyMainMan90]

Good detail. In other words, Aoba Johsai is the official translation of the school name and Seijoh is the translation of their nickname so very much interchangeable. Another player Kageyama played with that you see in episode 1 is Kunimi. Both of Kunimi and Kindaichi are key to kageyama's progress as a character in the story

[@mikkosimonen]

I don't think Oikawa necessarily has that much experience setting to Kindaichi. It's just that Kageyama didn't pay attention to each spiker's qualities and so he's surprised even after playing with the guy for three years.

That is why Hinata call Oikawa-san "The Great King". Oikawa has been one of the role model of Kageyama and especially to his teammates at seijo. Being able to bring out the 100% of his spikers and looking out at their condition is one of the most important quality of being a setter, also Oikawa-san is a very hard working person that doesn't see himself as an "exceptional" setter but an ordinary one. Thank you Coach for appreciating Oikawa-san and seeing his quality as a good setter 😊

[@vailingbow1068]

In fact, he brings out 110% out of his players. He tapped into a higher reach for Kindaichi.

Kindaichi is Kageyama’s former teammate. So when Oikawa says “this is where kindaichi always scored best” he’s basically implying Kageyama never payed attention to his hitters preferences.

[@youtubingprick4036]

Remember Coach In your previous reaction you said that you don't know why Seijou's Coach has made Oikawa Captain and you should not make your best player the Captain, well This is Oikawa's Captain Skills. That's why he is the captain not coz he is the best player but coz he brings out the best in his fellow teammates.

[@Swishcoral]

100% agree

[@meloni6280]

Thank you! I was so frustrated when he said that because Furudate-sensei has chosen each team's captain very carefully and Oikawa in particular absolutely deserves the role! I really want an update on his opinion now or in the next episodes!

[@youtubingprick4036]

@@meloni6280 i can understand your feelings totally. I was also a bit shocked during Coach's reaction but you have to understand that Coach is not an Otaku or a weeb like most of us who watch Coach Danny's reaction videos.

TANAKA MAKES THE THUMBNAIL! It's ya boy!

[@im_sorry_i_forgot_my_username]

The school's full name is Aoba Jōsai (青葉城西). Transcribed as Johsai in the Crunchyroll subtitles. The exact etymology is: Aoba 青葉 - "green leaves" Jō 城 - "castle" Sai 西 - "west" (Edit: A very helpful commenter in the replies pointed out that "Aoba Castle" or "Aoba-jō" is a landmark in Sendai, which is the capital of the prefecture and likely the city that the team is in. So it's most likely named after that.) The shortened version, Seijō/Seijoh comes from taking the first and third kanji (青城 - the Ao from Aoba, and the Jō from Jōsai.) The pronunciation of the first kanji changes from Ao to Sei. Since "ao" can mean both "blue" and "green" (because green is traditionally considered a shade of blue in Japanese culture), Seijō can be translated Blue Castle or Green Castle. The full name would be something like "Aoba Castle West High" - or "Greenleaf Castle West High" if we were to be literal. Interestingly, the "west" at the end of the name indicates that there may well exist other Aoba Jō-schools, likely also based around Aoba Castle, such as Aoba Jōhoku (north), Aoba Jōnan (south), or Aoba Jōtō (east). Bonus trivia: "Karasuno (烏野)" directly translates to "Crowfield".

[@glorious77iguana2]

This is the most detailed explanation about the names I ever read in the comment section

[@Revoltine]

Any idea about some cultural background about a blue or green castle in Japan? Something tells me there's more depth to the etymology considering Oikawa is presented as the "Great King" and that ancient Japan and its monarchs liked their geographical references. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if this has a reference to the Johto region.

[@im_sorry_i_forgot_my_username]

@@Revoltine I don't know about that, personally. Seijoh is one of the few major schools who don't have an animal theme in their name (Karasuno - crow Nekoma - cat, Fukurodani - owl, Inarizaki - fox, Shiratorizawa - "white bird"/eagle, etc). There could very well be some symbolism to Seijoh's name, I just don't know about it if there is.

[@Revoltine]

@@im_sorry_i_forgot_my_username Yeah I'm aware of Seijoh's name being based off of a plant instead. Quite likely due to how the school's always been focused on balanced growth and has no true particular volleyball playstyle, unlike how Karasuno is presented as such but, in reality, has always been a highly aggressive team even after Coach Ukai's retirement.

[@chaosof99]

@@im_sorry_i_forgot_my_username @Revoltine Their name is a direct refernce to Aoba Castle (青葉城, Aoba-jō), which is located in Sendai, Miyagi Prefecture. Miyagi is the setting for this anime, and I believe the tournament is being played in Sendai, the capital of the prefecture.

Oikawa was just a pretty and talented player to me the first time I watched, but as I rewatched haikyuu several times ( as all haikyuu fans do) I can safely say that Oikawa is my Ultimate fav, the more you watch the more you feel empathetic towards his character and the more you are inspired, he's truly something else. I love him to the moon and back !!

[@Mrfrancisfierce]

coach you have no idea how much i look foward to your videos. i watch them while i eat dinner after work

[@jacobwinn157]

Something I love about Kageyama is that he can adapt other people's play styles to fit his own. How he immediately came at K-Pop (Oikawa) with his own dump, and how he tricked Onion Top (Kindaichi) with a small look how Kenma did to Tsukki in the practice game. It's a true testament to a setter's need to adapt and overcome.

[@piranha7460]

Ahahaha man i've watched this show more than once and i've never noticed that ball changing at 30:53. Talk about a keen eye!

[@1reen199]

“Oikawa Tooru is Not a Genius” yes but im still gonna cry about it

[@chelseamae3012]

I love listening to all these detailed rundowns of plays throughout the series :D There are things Coach picks up on that we have no idea even exists, and it just brings out so much more from the show. I very rarely watch reaction videos, this is the only reaction series I've ever stuck to, because Coach just has such a great way of breaking the episodes down and making the reactions interesting to watch and enjoy.

[@-MankoMan]

The only OVA episodes that need to be watched are the 2 episodes of "land vs sky" which comes after season 3 and focuses on nekoma. The rest of them are more focused on the humor side of haikyu and only one of them is worth watching which is "haikyuu vs akaten". Land vs sky (riku vs kuu) is available on crunchyroll.

[@AoiGabe]

Its come to a point where I actually prepare food before watching these reaction videos. I've rewatched Haikyuu thrice and its still that same excitement while watching it with coach

[@nguwadiko]

Coach you can watch the OVAs just in KZbin yep they are uploaded by the official channel, Ani-One Asia.

[@ngumlovered7566]

Let’s get this comment up there y’all !!

[@kmg_717]

I love how you pointed out where Oikawa was tying his shoelace to slowdown the game. A ✨ dirty trick ✨ indeed.

[@argonaut5581]

Cant wait till the next reaction, go Suga!

[@harlee886]

The breakdown of Nishinoya’s makes me realize the expertise and care the animators take with their storytelling. Crazy!

[@vensilenced]

These reactions feel like im watching Haikyuu with someone else.

[@sincerelymarika]

I'm finally catching up with this series and once again I have to praise your detailed observations and explanations of players' strategies and forms!! Thank you for all of the time you spend on these reactions, they're so informative!!

[@aykra84]

Coach: *describing that one person* you know, slumped shoulders, kinda mopey attitude ... me: 🦉😏 🤭

[@themazilian]

Holy crap, I just realized that there's a callback to the moment in this episode where Oikawa says, "There's no need to be that surprised, that's where Kindaichi always scored the best." in season 4. Not gonna say what exactly but will hint that it is related to how Coach Donny was explaining how a good setter knows their players preferences and how they should set the ball for someone who likes line shots hehe I truly believe that this callback is not a coincidence at all and that's just how good the writing is!

[@genwilbolandres980]

NOOOO ITS A PREMIERE. I thought it was out already 😭😭

Oikawa can bring out 100% of all spikers, that is why he is acknowledged by great spikers. He can analyze the game quickly, and shift gears. He knows his enemies as well as his own teammates. He is a top tier player. It is great fun to watch him.

[@lumi_starlight]

The next new intro would be on season 2 If i remember correctly, there is always 2 new intros for each season. Every half of each season is a new intro✨ I would love to see you reacting to the OVAs cuz its really good✨

[@asdfgh7782]

can we talk about this outro? the beatdrop + picture freeze was perfect!

[@Rikuu__]

I CANT WAIT TO SEE HIS REACTION FOR SUGA PLAYS. Thats one of my favorite episode. So im so excited!

[@munsiafifaziz8128]

If you want to see ova there is a proper order of it ,bcz after first season ends there is nekoma ova where they introduces a new player ,then there is ova after 2nd season about Aoba Joshai and after 3rd season there is a movie named Riku Vs kyuu which you can find it in KZbin .This is the proper order to watch ova ,and I always knew Coach gonna admire Oikawa 😋

[@WubiiStar]

Oh yeah! I can’t wait to watch Donny’s reaction to Haikyuu and great volleyball advice! 😊

[@Al-fi2jg]

Oh man-me not realizing until Coach Donny said it that the ball changed in that one scene 😭 his attention to detail is 👌🏻

[@co0kii]

such a sharp eye!

[@krueger404]

I see you've been taking lessons on how to build hype from watching this! Aaargh, curses!!

[@jcnorn]

I know these videos take a long time to make, the production value is really high, and you have other things to do as well in your life, but I wish I could watch them more often because they are just so good and enjoyable and I learn so much and love it so much. You're awesome Coach Donny! Thank you for doing these videos! Can't wait for next week :D

[@ruzuri.3053]

big oikawa fan right here

[@babassoonist557]

Man if you love Tanaka now, just you wait for season four. Top notch Tanaka moments in there

[@EverGardens]

The wait is killing me, I wanna watch now😣 Traditional uploads to save us from this torture

[@marcosgomes7363]

There are 5 OVAs. I think that the 4th and 5th must be watched. These two OVAs diplay high emotional matches and are based on manga. These two are in Crunchyroll (Haikyu !!: Land VS Air). It takes place after season 3.

[@instantramen15]

Kageyama wasn't talking metaphorically. he was straight up trash talking and trying to show up Oikawa (K-Pop setter). Very caught up in the moment. However, Hinata reminded him that he is going to be in the back row hence Kageyama was really embarrassed and flustered.

[@cynthiayoung176]

Gosh. Coach Donny, your commentary is the absolute BEST. You are so detailed in your explanation and give so much insight and knowledge to us, the viewers. Also, your commentary on each character specifically is always very thoughtful and spot on. Thank you for doing these Haikyu reactions, I for one look forward to them every week.

[@zianong5194]

He said something about the mopey people and MY MIND JUST WENT 🦉🦉🦉

[@iNovak_ñ]

Haikyuu is one of my favorite anime of all time and your comments make it even better. Thank you for unraveling all the details and secrets than non players like me are missing.

[@dhruvxsharm]

Loving the more frequent uploads Coach! Love this series

[@zhantas_comingtotown]

The author was a volleyball player in Junior High School and held the position of a middle blocker. So he gets his inspiration on real art of japans high school volleyball life and also all the places you'll see on this anime is a true to life places. I'm sure you will love even more of this Haikyuu Fact Coach!!

[@monishr5514]

Coach, would you ever show your students the techniques in this anime and recommend them to watch this anime? And no coach, I've watched this anime 10 times and never noticed the ball 😂😂😂.

[@lemonsgalore93]

LOVE THE NEW OUTRO EDIT, Coach. Tanaka's spike was timed so well with the beat. 👏👏👏 Seriously A+ effort for editing.

[@blastican9714]

Same height, position, and personality. Glad to see you’re starting to like Tanaka even more.

[@trentward2725]

Bro its so many moments i want your reaction and analysis on in this series its crazy. Definitely the highlight of my day when these videos are uploaded. Good job coach Donny 👍🏿 keep up the good work!

[@alex222333ful]

I'm really looking forward to Suga playing next episode, so hype!

[@MsRoxygirl333]

Watching these episodes again with Coach Donny after finishing the newest season is actually the best thing because there are sooooo many details from Season 1 that are revisited in the Season 4 and it makes you realize how well-written and well thought out this story is! Like, they’re small details from sidebar conversations that I have long forgotten about since it’s been a while since I’ve watched Season 1, but they’re integral to the recent episodes of this series. Now everything makes even better sense since I am able to see the development from Season 1 and how many of the concepts and themes revealed here come full circle later in the series. Once again, Coach Donny is helping me gain a heightened appreciation for this show 🥰

[@kieranthewolftiger]

I can't wait to see his reaction to the next episode with Suga-mom XD

[@TheMoonsMistress]

I have rewatched this show various times and i never noticed the vollyball switching in the middle of a spike 😅 lol the animators probably just reused footage of the ball hitting the ground

[@maxwilliam4724]

The curse of speed speech hits really hard after having watched the end of season 4
