I really like Grandpa Ukai’s comment saying “There’s no match that you can’t win and no match that you’ll win for sure.”

[@MathewAGTales]

Yeah! I was hoping Coach would have brought that up, but he happened to be commenting on other stuff and maybe didn’t notice. I think that’s an important message, to not take things for granted whether you think you’ll win or lose.

[@chubakaman]

I laughed when you reacted to Shimizu’s comment because the translation does kinda sound like she’s checking him out. “田中バナナ見合う” more means like she thinks that Tanaka eating a banana matches him, basically calling him a monkey without actually saying it.

[@shuvodipray6255]

I believe in the manga the line is Shimizu looking at Tanaka and thinking to herself, "A monkey with a banana"

[@puggzwithtwogees]

I think it might actually be 「似合う」(niau) not 「見合う」(miau) but your translation is right. 見合う I think kinda means like to exchange glances or like meet/match something (like expectations) while 似合う means more like "It suits him" .

[@magacofi]

The Ohgi Minami team (except the captain) is referred to as 'punks' and get yelled at for not practicing because they're troublemakers at school that were always getting into fights. Them bowing to their captain at the end is like ..an extra show of respect that's out of the ordinary, I guess

[@Revoltine]

The angle of the bow is key to the amount of respect you give towards the person. The lower it is, the bigger you think is the difference between your status. A very low bow as the team meant that they regard their former captain with very high respect. Genuflecting/prostrating means you deem yourself undeserving of that person's presence, hence it's only used when apologizing deeply or, in ancient times, when addressing royalty or your master.

[@kirasaaan3648]

Yeah! I remember when I first watched this arc I thought something like yakuza bois bowing to their soft spoken boss haha

[@seekittycat]

I love this team so much it's a group of "gangsters" and their "nerd" sempai who tells them it's fine to be enthusiastic about something ;_; it's so adorable.

[@MSinclairStevens]

@@Revoltine Exactly! It was an extraordinarily low bow for one high school student to give to another, even if it was to his senpai. It was an amazing moment of respect that highlighted the transformation of his character into someone who realized that what his senpai had said was correct and that he understood it and was willing to follow the advice.

Hinata eating katsudon (pork cutlet bowl) is actually somewhat of a thing in Japan (albeit choosing something this heavy for BF was hardly wise lol)! When you have a big match/exam/“battle”, it’s considered good luck to eat something with “katsu” in its name, because “katsu” means “to win” (like katsudon or a kit-kat, which in Japan is often read as “kitto katsu”, or “I’ll win this for sure”).

[@satorisakura9275]

I like how realistic Haikyuu is in terms of height, usually in some sports anime, the opponent who's like super good are usually way taller than most of his/her teammates, and in Haikyuu we know Ushiwaka is one of those scary players YET he's only 6'2 and there are 1-3rd year players who isn't that good as him but they're taller than Ushiwaka (Lev, Kindaichi, Tsukki, etc).

they did mention this a little earlier in the show, but the prefecture karasuno is in is the miyagi prefecture which is a smaller region in japan. that's why tokyo schools (nekoma, furukodani, etc) called them "country bumpkins." The tournament they are playing rn is the spring preliminaries and the winner of the whole thing will represent miyagi in the spring national tournament (which is the tournament hinata saw on TV in the beginning of the show). Because their prefecture is pretty small population wise compared to others, this tournament is single elimination and only one school represents the prefecture. The preliminaries in tokyo for example, because of its larger population, will have multiple representatives and will therefore not be single elimination.

[@selensewar]

Today i learned.

[@Hamika0054]

I seeee.. I didn't know that.

Ushiwaka is a nickname (one that he himself isn't particularly fond of). His full name is Ushijima Wakatoshi (Ushijima being the family name). They put together the Ushi from Ushijima and the Waka from Wakatoshi, and created "Ushiwaka".

[@meloni6280]

I don't think he has a problem with the nickname itself unless he states so in a different scene than the Oikawa one and I haven't noticed. I'm under the impression that the suffix is what bothered him because Oikawa called him Ushiwaka-CHAN and that came out (and was intended) as sarcastic. Later when Oikawa wants to talk to him seriously he says "Listen Ushijima".

[@abhishekbora2145]

His actual name is "Wakatoshi Ushijima" but the entire prefecture (volleyball interested) calls him Ushi-Waka as an alias.

Shimizu's comment about Tanaka looking good with a banana was a small mistranslation that might cause some confusion. What she actually meant was that bananas suits Tanaka since he gives off monkey vibes with all his hyper activity :)

[@erikawilliamson7278]

When Shimizu made that banana comment, the translation was more like, “Tanaka, that banana suits you.”

[@mutotowamwema]

Yeah, most translations are written poorly. It doesn't really iterate what was meant to be said.

[@Kurogane72]

The difference with Hyakuzawa (the 2m guy) is that most of the tallest players Hinata has encountered have been about 6'2"-6'4" and this guy is like 6'7". he hasn't really encountered someone this tall before. Ushiwaka is only around 6'3" and Aone (from Date Tech) is about half an inch taller than that, and those are probably the most intimidating people he's encountered so far.

[@_stqki_]

A wise man once said "If my goal is improbable then I must know what makes it so and if I know what makes it so then I am already prepared to overcome it, I can do anything I put my mind to because my mind wouldn't put me to do things I can't so the only thing holding me back is me"

What’s amazing with Haikyuu is that the story isn’t just focused on the main characters and WILL MAKE YOU ROOT FOR THE OTHER TEAM. I feel like every character is loved and appreciated by the story itself.

i really love it when karasuno's foundation (the third years) is being mentioned and praised. it's true that the first years brought up the confidence of karasuno (they're like the missing last piece) but the third years are really such a great and reliable foundation. they're such a great support to each player amd the whole team itself. and they've been through a lot. tough practices w just themselves, the loses, the gossips, the way people look down at them-but they remain strong and just keeps on practicing to get better. so when the first years came around, they adjusted well cause karasuno's sturdy foundation is already done.

I think the third years, Daichi, Suga & Asahi not only laid the foundation of the Karasuno team with their principles, but Daichi in particular also continued to hold the team together when the team didn't have a coach and they only had Takeda sensei who didn't know anything about volleyball. Daichi is so incredibly important to the team as their pillar of strength.

To explain something that went under even in the translation, at the beginning of the episode Hinata is sick because he ate too much Katsudon, though in the translation it is simply called "pork bowl". Katsudon is a dish that consists of a bowl of rice with a fried pork cutlet on top. Superstitious people eat it before an important event, e.g. exams or a job interview, because the word "katsu" can both mean "pork cutlet" and "to win".

[@noodled6145]

In the intro it still says Season 2 episode 10 (ep 11 has this too), and btw pork cutlet (4:40) aka tonkatsu, katsu can mean "to win", so it's a superstition to eat it before a test or game etc, unfortunately Hinata ate too many lol And the tournaments setup are 2 per year, the Inter-High, then the Spring tournament. No regular season or anything, so it's only 2 elimination tournaments per year. In your third year (last) you can do the Inter-High but you have to choose between staying on to do the Spring tournament like Asahi, Suga and Daichi did, or leaving to study for university instead, like the rabbit guy (the old Ohgiminami captain) did. 30:25 isn't some sexual reference, they're just eating bananas for carbs lmao

[@panav2717]

At first I didn't understand the banana line, but I figured out that Shimizu meant that since Tanaka is so energenic like a monkey, eating a banana is very fitting, since energetic monkeys are known to eat bananas. I'm guessing the translation made it sound weirder in English than in Japanese.

[@noamb3497]

30:27 about Shimizu's comment on Tanaka - this translation always cracks me up. In context, Shimizu is saying that 'Tanaka matches the banana', as a joke that he resembles a monkey or a gorilla (his shaved head and explosive, funny personality also backs it up). So a better translation for this would be something like" bananas fit/ go well with Tanaka". I hope this made any sense for you coach!

[@larryjerry1]

One thing I'd like to mention since you were talking about animation, you're not always animating in 24 frames per second. Animations will often only show one drawing every two frames, which would be known as animating on "twos." Depending on what's actually being animated, you'll see them switch between animating on twos and animating on ones (one drawing every frame).

[@revealkro]

I like the comment about those "weaker" teams being meaner that the powerhouses ones. It's probably because strong ones accept to share and learn with anyone that they are strong in the first place, they do not limit their own view and thus are able to learn more and from different people/teams.

[@omargifford4032]

Dang, we really have to appreciate all the work Coach Donny has been putting into these videos--the subtitles especially, cutting it out and putting it legibly on the bottom! Huge props, and thanks for all of the work you put into these

[@JIYkp]

Japanese anime studios tend to animate on 2s or 3s (12 or 8 frames per second) to save time/money and then amp up the fps on critical scenes.

[@FrozenByul]

That banana thing confused me too. Then I read the manga and got it. In the official english trans in the manga Shimizu said “Something just fits about Tanaka holding a banana” meaning she was having inner thoughts about Tanaka and Gorilla similarities. It makes sense in the manga when you see how Tanaka was drawn.

[@julianr8544]

Karasuno third years OP!! ❤️ They are caring and kind, supportive and helpful, mentally strong and inspirational.... All the current first years were so full of drawbacks but they helped them fit in the team and to fix their problems, without even having a coach for a long time.

Watching coach's reaction videos every week about haikyuu is just another reason for me to re-watch the show for the 6th time lol. Every episode never fails to get me teary-eyed and laugh at the jokes the characters are making if though I watched this a couple of times already. Great video coach!

16:33 It both, Ushiwaka is like his nickname his full name is Wakatoshi Ushijima

Remember in the previous tournament gossip? When came the time to talk about Karasuno, most people couldn't even pronounce their name, calling them "Torino" (because of the spelling in Japanese), and when asking about Hinata people would go "I dunno who that is". NOW Karasuno has a full on "the team with a reputation" intro... Just pointing out, somethings ARE different now in this 2nd tournament! :D

I can't wait for coach to meet Miya Atsumu 🥺

I was watching another video, i was trying to rewind it a couple of seconds when the notif appeared, and i accidentaly clicked on "replay" while trying to rewind the video i was watching... I dont regret anything.

Coach I just wanna say I love the outros you edit at the end these episodes! I think they go really under appreciated !!

[@TheAlkez]

Really great comments about self belief and confidence vs arrogance Coach.

[@kevinlin1992]

I think the translation is slightly off "Tanaka looks good with a banana" i think it's meant as Tanaka looks right with a banana"... she's basically calling him a monkey.

[@xXunkillableYoshiXx]

"This inspires a story" thats what I like to hear!

[@OK25000]

It's amazing to me how Haikyuu makes you care so much about characters that you met in only 20 minutes

[@rewrose2838]

I just binge watched all your reactions this week 😂 This is the first one I caught fresh, let's go!

[@motmot7309]

By the way Coach, the tournament Karasuno is in right now isn't Nationals, it's the National qualifiers. There's a tournament in each region of Japan and the winner of each will go to Nationals. Just to let you know so you aren't confused.

[@LifelessVeemo]

Can’t wait for your reaction on the next opening!! It’s a lot of people’s overall favourite and the most popular one in terms of views on YT and listens on Spotify. The music is amazing and the visuals are also just breathtaking

[@Keladinus]

The banana comment was a mistranslation. Kiyoko was basically saying the same thing as you did - that the look of sitting and eating a banana suits Tanaka, since he looks like a primate. It's meant as a joke.
