My favorite detail in this episode was when Ennoshita mentioned his plan to the team and Asahi said "Yeah, let's give a shot" without hesitation. It really displays the type of culture that Karasuno has when their best hitter is willing to listen to a bench player.

[@seekittycat]

Thanks for pointing that out for real I love these kids so much ;_;

They switch to bokuto because hinata was getting complimented for using a technique taught by him. So he felt that the compliment was towards HIM.

I think Coach got that, I think he was confused why he didn’t sneeze since that’s typically what happens with something like this.

[@aliamthenoob]

yap kind of like when you talking about someone they sneeze XD

I think he didn't sneeze because it was something nice? Instead of just gossip? Hehehe But, I also think getting the chills or just that random feeling is the same as sneezing, in some cases.

When Ennoshita was in the bathroom he was more so telling himself not to get complacent. That even though he contributed to an official tournament win, he still made a ton of errors and he still has a lot of things to improve on.

[@varunnarayanswamy8084]

I think also, he started relaxing and not worrying with Daichi back, and wanted to make sure he stayed mentally ready in case he had to go back in

[@amberwings17]

@@varunnarayanswamy8084 Yeah I saw a different sub that said something along the lines of, "Don't feel so relieved because Daichi is back." It kinda feels like he has mixed feelings about how well he did in the match and how he needs to do better too

He felt guilty for being relieved that Daichi's back because he thinks he won't have to play and maybe mess up anymore. He took it back and tells himself that he has to always be ready to play.

Ennoshita's line in the bathroom is a bit rough to understand, and the translation doesn't help. The actual Japanese is 安心してんじゃねぇよ. "anshin shiten janee yo" Word-for-word, yes, it means "don't relax," but basically, he's mad at himself because he finally got to stand on the court, and yet after the match his strongest emotion is "thank god it's all over." He's relieved to be out of that atmosphere where he was so nervous, but he wants to become the type of person who thrives in that, not always wanting to run away.

[@bdylp1098]

I feel that「安心」translated to "relax" was very weird in this context. I'd think "relieved" would've been a much better choice.

[@andreiparreno4567]

I think that people underrate Wakunan. This game was dubbed a battle of captains, meaning that Takeru was as good of a captain as Daichi. Wakunan is already a very cohesive team, and Takeru is the glue holding everything together. Had he not been captain, there would be no way Wakunan was considered a powerhouse in Miyagi.

[@seekittycat]

Takeru and his team is wonderful, totally underrated team. The Nekoma of Miyagi in which they just work wonderfully together, work smart, have a strong brain and not depend on flashy plays.

[@Intersectingstuff]

Yess! This match was so close, and Takeru is a very solid player as well which I could see advancing further

[@LixienXIII]

Ennoshita got upset in the bathroom because he started to relax when Daichi came back. "Ok, everything's fine, Daichi is back, I dont have to think about the next opponent anymore, I don't have to push myself" he's mad at himself for having thse thoughts.

[@Intersectingstuff]

@@RayVela yes in season 1, but a lot of ppl forget about the team after that. More people even talk about Johzenji when they appear in less episodes than Wakunan. Based on manga profile scores, Takeru is one of the best players, on par with the players in nationals. Imho, his skill is greatly displayed in the past 2 episodes, but the conversation among fans only revolve aroun dAiCHis DeAD :( makes this match of captain falls off very underrated, not getting as much hype as it deserved. At least that's how it is in Haikyuu community around me, idk about others~

[@izumochiii]

They switched to Bokuto because Tanaka complimented Hinata on his rebound, which Hinata learned by watching Bokuto during their 3 on 3 self practice during summer training camp. So basically Bokuto felt Tanaka indirectly complimenting him 🤣 Also, Ennoshita was angry at the fact that he felt relieved because Daichi was alright, and he didn't have to continue to play as a startup in the next game.

Hey Coach, if you get confused on what set they're in, is the middle number on the score board. Sometimes Haikyu can skip around a lot, so the scoreboard shots help reestablish the set and score

[@dongariyelle]

If you notice Coach in around 16:26 about Ennoshita's reaction when Nishinoya complimented him saying "Nice receive", it was a big thing/deal because as you can see, Nishinoya's compliments can cheer people up and having him say "Nice receive" to Ennoshita even though Ennoshita still feels like that last receive is crappy, it made him so happy to be complimented by their team's libero and thus made him feel good about himself. We all need a libero like Nishinoya :D

[@seekittycat]

Coach when you mentioned you were a bench player that became captain Ennoshita is who I thought of (and someone else too but you'll understand in like season 6 lol). I love Ennoshita being captain, I love the fact that he's a bench player, not the strongest nor most confident but his team respects him greatly, sees how much he loves the sport, and sees his worth. They see captain as a role that requires a certain set of skills and dedication. They don't treat it like "the best person should be captain because being good at volleyball means you should be the boss."

Ennoshita and Hinata's lines at 24:07 ("A good jump starts from....?" "A good approach!") didn't get much notice here but if I had to choose a line to succinctly encapsulate one of the major themes of Haikyuu as a whole, it's probably this. The idea that in order to be able to succeed at a high level, you must first lay a good foundation and do things in the proper order becomes so important as the series goes on and I feel like this line from Ennoshita is one of the earliest declaration of this concept from the manga author. Thank you for the video, hearing your fresh insight for a series I watched so often is really interesting!

I love how Wakunan's coach says: "I guess we really don't have an advantage with Karasuno's captain missing". I've always hated the way amines give off this vibe that only the starters of a team are any good with the exception of an occasional bench player who can make an impact. It doesn't do real life sports justice when it shows only the starters doing well while everyone who comes off the bench just sucks(KNB is a perfect example of this). Haikyuu makes it so that bench players have a chance to shine and that's one of the many reasons that I love this anime.

[@vailingbow1068]

He didn't say that because he was a bench player tho. He said that because he was the CAPTAIN of the team and the FOUNDATION.

I’m not sure if anybody has ever mentioned this, but i love how the imagery for the captains in Karasuno is that of grounded foundation. Daichi’s name (大地) literally translate to “solid earth” Meanwhile Enoshita (縁下) generally refers to the wooden foundations of a Japanese traditional house’s veranda. You might want to google image search 縁の下 if you’re curious. Anyway, this match is one of my fave, and enoshita is my fave Karasuno, i love that we get to celebrate a generally mellow, but determined person.

I'm glad Daichi said that to Ennoshita after seeing the others happy to know that Daichi could continue to play in the next game. I mean, I'll be very glad and relieved to know Daichi's ok too. It's just that it might give Ennoshita the wrong impression that, for his teammates to be so happy and relieved that he will no longer play as a replacement since Daichi's back, he didn't do enough. Daichi's words were so reassuring that he did, in fact, do well for the team and his efforts were much appreciated.

The whole “bathroom moments” thing kinda has some reason in it when put in the context of Japanese culture. Japan is a very crowded country - everywhere you go there are crowds and a lot of people, so your whole life is basically spent with other people. The only time a person is really alone (and lets themselves be who they really are) - is in the bathroom. Some people even say that’s why the bidet was invented, so that alone time will be a bit nicer :)

Another Japanese superstition is of someone being "To dumb to catch a cold" So when the Karasuno people were talking about Nekoma for example everyone was sneezing except Taketora (the Tanaka analog.) I think the whole thing with Bokuto is similar, he is referred to as simple minded so instead of sneezing he gets fired up.

The first save when he dives to the bench is very important as it shows Hinata's growth, from "can't dig if my life depends on it" to "perfect diving dig and the arm position to cushion the fall and everything... It's not looked at much but its probably one of the most clear moments to see his development

[@asia893]

In Haikyuu if there is a tie (team A wins set 1, team B wins set 1) the third set will then be to 25 points (not 15 like in the USA. It is only if they are playing a 5 set match that the last set will be to 15 points (this is typically done during the finals)

[@dragon3010lol]

next episode, the intro, when Daichi is ready to receive.

[@pedrofritz9784]

God, I love that receive from Hinata

[@seekittycat]

the first time I saw that hustle play I had to pause and go WAIT WHAT

[@wulf8889]

Ennoshita felt relieved that he is out of the court with Daichi back which reminds him of his conflict about running away from the difficulty and the whole being complacent thing. That's why is angry at himself in the end.

You are getting goosebumps and the best part hasn't even started. You are in for a ride coach, you made it to the best 15 chapters of the series.

[@hannielouiselim2528]

When coach said he was getting goosebumps, I was getting goosebumps too! 🤣🤣🤣

[@hardikjain8415]

U wonder how will he control his goosebumps in the next match

[@pierre-louislamaze8802]

Hey super good video as always ! I just wanted to point out you often congratulate the animators when you notice subtle details in Haikyuu ! And they are certainly very good at what they aredoing, but you have to remenber haikyuu is a manga adaptation ! Furudate was a volleyball player, and he is a very skilled illustrator when it comes to action fluidity and dynamism. Most of the time, you can already feel as if the action is freely flowing before you just by reading the manga, hence why Haikyuu is also a very good sports anime too, the base material is just that good at depicting action (and more specifically volleyball action) If you want i can make a selection of important chapters you can read to understand what im saying !

[@itwasntmuch]

the goosebumps you speak of, i think i can safely presume that all us haikyuu fans know exactly how you're feeling.

[@adarshsukumaran1043]

I love how coach gets super involved and his reaction turns into commentary. Love his passiom for volleyball.

[@jas8288]

im glad you pointed out how amazing the haikyuu art/animation is that we, the viewers, are actually capable of reading the moves as if they're actual players!

[@marikothecheetah9342]

As for animation - I am sure lots of the scenes are either rotoscoped from real games or real games have been studied a lot before animating. ^^ But yes, this is amazing. Babe Ruth is a legend, even me, a little Polish girl knows about him^^ *grin*

[@samkelly4132]

Hope you had a great holiday! And happy anniversary! (It was actually my parents anniversary last week too!)

[@materla4102]

I love the part when coach Ukai takes the bench so Hinata can dive safely. It's such a great quick reaction.

[@aliamthenoob]

thank you for putting reaction vid out even though you are probably super busy. appreciate it

[@JustPassing_Through]

If only I can be as confident as the others when playing, Ennoshita is really one of my favorite 2nd years

[@seif_hegazy.8]

Just a suggestion I know it may not suit you but I suggest that you watch two episodes in a one video or two episodes per week starting from episode 20 till the end of the season because the up coming episodes will be super crazy and I bet that you won't be able to able to hold in will just want to binge watch it till the end of the season😂

[@arith1202]

I like this episode. Nice video as always coach. For me, Ennoshita cry and angry towards himself after the game because he feels relieved that Daichi is back. Not the relieve feeling of daichi is doing well but relieve feeling of he doesn't have to play in the next game. So he kinda hate and angry at himself for feeling that way rather than thinking what he is going to do next.

[@zianong5194]

The fact that this video came out in the Philippines when we’re celebrating Father’s day is EVERYTHING! Happy Father’s Day to the Team Dad, Daichi! And to all the fathers out there too!

[@LeonNoa]

Saturdays are not the same anymore without your Haikyuu reaction videos. Thanks for uploading earlier than your proposed schedule, Coach!

[@taeraetupatron]

I just can't live anymore without ur reactions

[@kuatt4261]

The last part of the season will be intense !!

[@faaizsiddiqui7906]

"I got goosebumps" - Coach Donny I felt the same way. Honestly I would start to question why I got the goosebumps. Its just a volleyball anime. But I am so invested in the story and the sport I just start screaming during scenes and get goosebumps. You got the goosebumps while watching Haikyuu. This is the first symptom of a Haikyuu Junkie =D . Congratz Coach Donnie!

[@Neis999]

I really like Hinata's and Ennoshita's interaction during the last rally. It really pushes the message that Ennoshita is the right man to take on captain duties and everyone's right behind him, as shown by not just HInata confirming he knows Ennoshita's message, but the other players in the background are animated to have renewed vigor in their expressions.

[@roninbelle804]

This is making me hyped

[@SayJim]

Obviously it's been foreshadowed and you have been catching onto the hints, but I think you will love Tsukki's moment just like all the rest of us have.

[@AlizaBass]

I love how much coach Donny is rooting for Yamaguchi! That's what I love so much about his character development, at the beginning you barely notice him, he feels like a not so important side character, but as the show progresses you can't help but feel attached to him and you end up rooting for him to succeed with all your heart! That's why he's one of my favorite characters :')

[@nix9498]

I had an alarm set for the usual schedule of upload, but then coach posted it earlier so I’m an hour late to the party 🤣🤣

[@jacobtasker1666]

This episode always hurts. Cuz that feeling that Yamaguchi and Enoshita that yea we won but i don't feel like I played well enough to contribute is something I experience a lot during my competitive days. That feeling and frustration of being carried will never be comfortable.

Made me chuckle when wakunan tipped and you said “nishinoya is gonna get there” and didn’t.. because well it was a Tsuki serve hahahaha
