Volleyball Couple Reaction to Haikyu!! S3E7: "Obsession"

[@MayMay-20000]

I loved the discussion this episode, I can just imagine Ukai in the back like “y’all I was working at a little corner store before, I can’t believe we got this far,I’m just doing shit out here”

[@transientanus]

I laughed WAY too hard at that 😂😂

[@lp6243]

No for real, this is his first time coaching ever lmao, he's definitely got great potential as a coach but also he's just winging it hard and fighting for his life out here.

[@karabomasibi2331]

Also Sarah crying at Ushijima's backstory with his dad is so sweet. But also more proof that Sarah=Ushiwaka 100%

[@vanir8308]

Funny to me hearing that people want more pausing. Usually on reaction stuff people are like "pause less so you're basically just a bonus to me watching/rewatching the thing". Hearing people want it more shows how valuable your guys' commentary/perspective is. Either way for me, I just want you both to watch it however you all want, because more immersion from you two just makes for a better watching experience on my end, and that's what's the best part about this series :). Edit: Amazing shirt.

[@PrimarchRoboleonFrenchyman]

A world renowned athlete and veteran coach, I would listen to their input all day ! Especially since they are speaking so normally, without arrogance or trying to keep an image like many athlete and coach you see on TV

[@Intersectingstuff]

I think that's what really differ her channel and Coach Donny- by pausing we got the best of both world in term of reaction and also their full attention to the show!

[@yurayura20262]

They can pause whenever they want and how long they want cause their discussions actually makes the show better unlike other reaction videos.

[@adamschulz9475]

Thank you so much for that! I"m glad you are all enjoying the commentary

[@t3cchan]

Always love getting Adam's commentary on Ukai's coaching decisions. As a viewer, I thought Ukai's decision was totally natural given Kageyama's fatigue. Didn't even think anything of it. But hearing Adam frame it as a "fireable offense" really put into perspective just how much Ukai is going out on a limb here. And yeah, in real life 99% of coaches would not do something like that in a crucial match. Especially given the fact that player fatigue as it is portrayed in the show isn't very realistic, as you both noted. Great commentary!

[@tesshh1]

Well Ukai is safe on the fireable offense part since he isn't hired in the first place🤣

[@jacobherrera8735]

@@tesshh1 that's true lmao, but the decision itself is still fireable, just doesn't apply to Ukai, or I would even assume most high school teams. I'd imagine it'd only happen at the high school at a school like Shiratorizawa where they are a private school with a lot invested into their sport programs. Though I'm sure even if Washijo did something like that he'd be fine since he has such a good reputation for winning. It would have to be a coach that is only a few years into their stint as coach and a prestigious private school.

[@tesshh1]

@jacobherrera8735 OMG!!! just now, because of you mentioning other teams, I remember another school that does a switch with one of if not the best player (at least spiker) for the same exact reason, I had completely missed this!!! Spoiler for season 4: Inarizaki subs in Kita in the last of the secod set and win the set but then they do the same in the third set, and Kita in that set actually tells his coach it doesn't seem like a good idea, so it depends on the situation if it's a smart sub or not, later the coach takes full responsibility with his mistake agreeing with Kita but he doesn't look worried of being fired, so I guess it doesn't happen in high school, at least not if you take the team to nationals twice the same year

[@jacobherrera8735]

@@tesshh1 to be fair to high school coaches, there is a coach in the show, I for the life of me can't remember who it was, said that they only get a few years with each class of players, so they have to make the most of each year. Basically, every few years, they have completely new kids, so it's so easy for powerhouses to fall off, because who once made them powerhouses are no longer at the school. With this in mind, it makes sense why high school coaches wouldn't really worry about making calls like this because they have to take risky plays to get results since they don't have years and years to build chemistry amongst the team, they get the one or two tournaments in the year.

[@tesshh1]

@@jacobherrera8735 Yeah, it was Washijo, after I read that explanation I actually agreed more with his way of thinking, of course you'll want players who are already dimonds when every year it's a different team, especially in Japan with just three years, sometimes the teams change in the same year because the seniors leave to study. I agree that high school coaches should have more freedom with their choices

[@okei3322]

I love your commentaries. Pause as much as you need to. The vast majority of viewers are rewatching with you, anyway. I love hearing your insights and I think you guys are funny.

[@bella-je5yc]

i just really like the Shiratorizawa third years' friendship 😭😭 we get more of Tendou's and Ushijima's interactions with Semi and Leon in the manga, but what we do get in the anime is really wholesome because even though they all know Ushijima is stoic, Tendou is... quirky, and Semi is hotheaded, they all still accept each other and love each other. they even address's e/o using their first names. their bond is actually quite underrated!

[@carolinavazquez6083]

Love the pausing! Don't want you to miss anything!! Tendo is one of my fav characters!! I'm so happy you guys read him perfectly. I love tendo bc he doesn't really focus on the other team. It's himself and feeling good during the game. He truly wants to play his best, the way he knows how. He is a rare case that knows who is/what kind of player he wants to v early on and stays true to himself!

[@JeepyTheK]

The fact that Tendo was seen as a monster but he’s the only one on the team befriended Ushijima. They’re different types of monsters but they can understand each other.

[@RedEyesRobotics]

Just reminding you to let Adam know that episode 8 is the last episode with coach Ukai's original voice actor.

[@NoahMcGuire]

33:34 so they actually *were* saying that Tsukki touched the block; the subtitles translated this one wrong. If you go back and watch the swing, you can see Tsukki touch it slightly and immediately wince from the pain. The subs say that the ball touched the *line* a little bit, but it was supposed to say that the ball touched the *block* a little bit

[@erict1628]

Yeah, wrong translation. But there's no need to go back and check whether or not Tsukki touched it since it clearly shows Tsukki's fingers were ripped in the followup scene.

[@NoahMcGuire]

@erict1628 true, but they did seem shocked initially that the ref called a touch - I was more referencing the fact that you can, indeed, clearly see it happen before the damage to Tsuki's hand is shown

[@mikkosimonen]

@@NoahMcGuire Yeah, what's really confusing about the translation error in this scene (although that's par for the course for Haikyu on Crunchyroll) is how obviously it hit the block before going out, so how did the translator even get it wrong?

[@traumatized5470]

@@mikkosimonen asian languages are heavily contextual, i listened to the japanese dialogue again and heard that the guy said "touched a bit" without any subject (which is a very common thing to do even outside of japanese, just an asian thing in general), of course he meant it touched Tsukki's hand, so the translator was probably a bit less experienced with non-standard japanese sentence structures

[@freili11]

​@@mikkosimonen I'd say blame it on the fact that translators are often paid per word, per kanji, per episode, or sometimes are just volunteers. Checking every little thing takes a lot of time, time they're not paid for outside of a reputation for quality.

No need to apologize for the pauses sarah. I personally love when you take those moments to pause while sharing your thoughts. It keeps the focus on those scenes and makes it feel like I’m watching alongside you rather than commenting over the scenes as they play. And I believe a lot of us really appreciate the pauses. And after all, it’s your reaction channel, so I think it’s best if you go with what feels right for you. So don’t feel sorry about it at all (: (I'm sorry my english still not good I hope my comment understandable😄)

@@jujuchonk wasnt one of the people who wrote it but its perfectly fair criticism.

Nothing toxic about it - its normal feedback.

Ukai has never been afraid to take risks. Adam's comments about the decision to start Suga were very similar to when Ukai shifted the rotation for the second set of the Dateko match back in Season 1. It's so sweet how Ushijima's dad was like "As long as you like volleyball in 'some way', it'll make me happy", so he decided he wanted to become the kind of ace that his dad talked about with so much reverence.

It really is amazing how Sarah and Adam's love for the sport really shows during their discussions, it adds more beauty to an already great series that ended years ago. It gives a new perspective when watching/reading haikyu for those with no volleyball background. Other Haikyuu fans who isn't watching their reaction videos truly are missing out.

[@ushishu]

pausing more is always nice because you're less likely to miss something, but not pausing is also fine. it's your reaction after all, whatever you guys feel is right in the moment. i find that pausing allows for more in depth discussions /comments (which is great, i love listening to you guys talk) vs. brief/unfinished thoughts because you're also trying to keep up with subtitles as it goes on. i love that moment between ushijima and his dad where he hopes ushijima will come to like volleyball in any form. that implication that ushijma aimed to become the kind of ace his dad admired...it's such a sweet detail🥺

Keep pausing and chatting. If I wanted to just watch the show I would do it on my own. I watched Sarah the first time and now with Adam a second time because I want to hear about you two, your thoughts, your experiences, and how you connect to the same thing that we love!

[@hatempire]

The best thing is how Hinata is excited about playing more sets, not exactly winning the match (not saying victory isn't something he wants, just pointing how being as much as possible in the court is THAT important for him). It's a great summary of his personality and mindset.

[@adamschulz9475]

I agree and really liked the comment. He just loves to play. It was an interesting choice of words.

[@s.cruz._.9384]

You know what I find amusing? That I cry the same parts that Sarah does. This show gets even more emotional with every watch

[@dizont]

IF you want an honest opition about pauses, here is my personal view on this: Obivously you guys are the main characters in this whole experience, and you do what is best for you, thats a given. For me as a viewer, when, for example, someone is talking off-topic during an emotional moment, it breaks the moment. If it is paused during the "rise" of emotions - it breaks the moment. Any kind of entertainment is all about these waves of emotions, and the "collective" or shared emotions with others. In this episode the pauses, in my opinion, were right on point. They should be done, during natural transitions of anime, and during cooldown moments between spikes of emotions. Now its not easy doing it, if you are watching for the first time, becase you dont know what is behind the corner ("is the moment over, or is there a big moment, right the next second?). At the same time, in a normal scenario, we will feel similar emotions, so when you decide to pause, it will often be "good time" because we are "on the same wave". Its always all about synchonization of emotions - thats the ultimate experience. (thats why people go to stadiums to watch games). We are watching it with you, but you are watching it without us, which makes it more nuanced. We watch a pre-recorded experience, and the interraction that is happening sort of goes through time itself. In the end, you guys create the content, and if not for you, we wouldnt have it at all. I am sure you enjoy sharing it, and you are gettin your own positive experience from these interractions, but still, thank you for sharing your experience. Its not over yet, but its been an incredible journey so far, and I cant believe that we are slowly finishing season 3!

This is an amazing quote for sure. Definitely one of the best lines in the show.

[@traceyedits]

LOVE you guys talking about your personal experiences. truly, like that is something I'm not going to get from other people reacting to haikyuu. You're approaching the show with real experience. so when i watched the episode and tsukki hurts his hand, I'm thinking its over. but when then adam sees it and goes 'tape it up, you're good' i love that

[@talosig23]

36:10 to 38:12 Two minutes. This might be the longest and weirdest "tease" that they did on this channel. For two long minutes, while discussing hands, Adam did not even show his. lol

I was soooo telling him "show, show" hahaha!

[@maryt2786]

It’s so interesting to see you talk about the decisions that coaches make and how it impacts everything. As a viewer who didn’t know much about volleyball before watching Haikyuu, I didn’t even question Ukai’s decision to put Suga in. But now, I can see the logic behind having your starters play the whole match. Now I wonder if Ukai’s decision was born out of fear or if it was actually strategic.

[@pasaniusventris4113]

I love all the Tendou analysis! He's my favorite alongside Ushijima, so this insight into the coaching difficulties is so fascinating to me! Pause as much as you like, I love hearing it!!

LOVED the commentary on this episode

[@manueldelgado5336]

Sarah, at the end of the previous episode Hinata did not overran it, it was Kageyama who missed the set because his focus was faltering due to being tired. That is why Kageyama says “Nice cover” instead of yelling at him for overrunning

[@ShiroKage009]

Ushijima is on the national team. His experience goes way beyond what Shiratorozawa ever did. That includes the experience of 5 set matches.

[@santiagokarim3313]

pls more thoughts! if I wanted to watch the episode I would just put it on, the best part about this is to hear your point of view, like this is literally the first time I've seen a reaction comment on how risky and bold (even to the point of not agreeing) switching kageyama out is. I think the general public (me included) just thought it was logical because Kageyama was portrayed as being so tired but hearing the actual input from pros is really cool.

[@Xyo_]

34:22 under appreciated moment but I love how Tsukki’s thought process is immediately how to get back into the game even though he got injured. He’s already thinking rotation, how fast he can heal up to get back to the game. Man is LOCKED IN 🔥

[@adamschulz9475]

He definitely has the bug. Look out when he is dialed in.

[@OsSas3]

The difference between Kageyama and Ushijima are coaches and training: Ushijima is used to play at National level, probably attending 4 National competitions since the start of high school (not even counting junior high), playing some of the best teams in the nation, Kageyama has 0 experience with that. Also, let's take into account he's two years older than Kageyama which means more experience overall. The last point is coaches: Ushijima is the central focus in Shiratorizawa, Washijo (his coach) entire plan relies on him, while Ukai is more open to change and try new things. So no, Ushijima will not be subbed till he's spitting blood or something his coach justify jajaj

[@christina3055]

i understand both sides. I understand both Ushijima and Hinata. Ushijima is one of the top aces in their prefecture. He is a great volleyball player who practices and have good technique. Hinata on the other hand is the opposite. But given that Hinata is short and is limited due to his physique, he does things that can help him stay more on the court. Not to mention he didn't get much practice in junior high. The beautiful thing is to watch Hinata grow and become better. He always evolve and become better.

Also, I add, with taking in considerations Japanese society, where being different is still seen more as a bad thing "the stick that stick out must put in" (horrible translation by me btw) but that gives the idea. Tendo is different and was not going to fit. But in truth I think those are the person that will be champions.

I would rather he pauses than miss the scenes, lol. Regarding starting Suga... Well, it might not make sense on the volleyball side, but it makes sense on the storytelling, lol, cause of the third years and this might be their last game...

[@tesshh1]

Yes and no, sure, because they are third years Suga gets more moments, but if you read the manga you know that doesn't matter to Suga or Furudate (can't explain further in case you haven't read it)

[@W4ngsterG4ngster]

Love the commentary Adam. Keep it up!!

[@jeffkc93]

I love the pausing, keep it going

[@japkorox91]

Pause as much as you guys want. I love to hear your stories and commentaries. I would rather you guys pause and talk and then you can play the video so you aren't distracted and able to enjoy watching the show.

[@海岩-q6d]

I don’t know if you guys have see the aythor’s individual comments for each characters. If not , I suggest you see them. These words perfectly interpret the characters’ personalities. Tendo’s word is “愉快” which means “Happy”. Tsuki’s word is “理智“ which means “Sane”. The author gave most of characters these words. I think once you understand these words , you understand these characters. (English is not my native language, so sorry for my bad descriptions)

[@mauer1]

With Tendo a lot of it is also how he wants to improve or if he wants to improve at all. If his goals are to have fun matches you maybe dont wanna get to the next level.

[@saps5831]

25:00 Well a little before but I just want to comment on the pauses. I love the pausing to comment, to me pauses are great so I can both listen to your thoughts and I know missing anything is harder when you pause before speaking. It also lets episodes have a nice length, it's always a little sad when one ends and I have to wait another week.

[@monkut]

Keep in mind Suga is a 3rd year. This is his LAST year of volleyball. This is potentially the last game of the year. From a winning focus it may make sense to keep Kageyama in. But from a high school play time stand point, it makes sense why they put Suga in. ❤

[@tesshh1]

If you read the manga you know that doesn't matter to Suga or Furudate (can't explain further in case you haven't read it) Sure, because they are third years Suga gets more moments than most bench players but in the long run it's more realistic, again if you read the manga

[@RizkyHusein-h1u]

Cant wait for next eps guys

[@tabo51]

I love how Haikyu doesn't have "villains" in the series. Some may be framed as villainous in the beginning (ie Tsukishima, Oikawa, Ushijima) but there's never really any "bad blood" between them. Obviously sports anime are different from other "shonen" anime like Demon Slayer in that people aren't killed in sports anime, but it's not uncommon to have actual bad/antagonistic people in sports anime.

[@Kris-jg3hg]

bin waiting on thisssssss

[@ignaciojr9446]

I just want to say that the next episode features the fourth Haikyuu moment of the anime. And I hope for it.

[@vagoerrante]

I feel like they should've started with Suga on the 4th set, but Ukai thought that Kageyama would be able to keep playing at top performance during all five sets, he took that risk with Kageyama' stamina or he just wasn't thinking of that. So now when they got to the fifth set and Kageyama is extremely exhausted, coach goes for another risky play by letting Kags rest for a while so he can perform at 120% when he comes in again

[@detonationlurks]

aahhh hand injury is my worst fear, talk about it more because I haven't really seen people describe it so detailed.

[@likasombodeh4883]

Loved the pausing!

[@SidDwadasi]

No no! Don't apologise for pausing! There is no point of doing one of these videos if I can't listen to your insights and thought? I might as well just watch the anime by myself if I didn't learn anything here.

[@keiji127]

i just cant wait for you guys to make a reaction video for the new movie bc it has been released on OTT djdhdjdj but ofc there is 1 more season to watch 😂

40:36 "Oh, stuff-and-stare action baby... I love that" pfft
