He did have development of his own throughout the series such as him overcoming his fear of Atsumu's serves and learning the overhand receive with Kinoshita's help, though most of it was based on his skill progression and his growing relationship with his friends (even if it seems like the only one he still has contact with in the end is Asahi which is really sad :() But I agree! A large part of his development was already completed before the series even started and instead he ended up helping the other characters through their own development and growth and inspiring them to become the best versions of themselves, which is beautiful as well! :)

Soccer Stuff yeah there is a difference. But at this point in time Osamu already knew he didn’t love volleyball as much as Atsumu did (their argument when Osamu wasn’t invited to the all japan training camp revealed this). This is probably why he didn’t come off as hardworking as Noya. But I do think he is incredibly talented. His official stats are all 4/5, so he’s extremely balanced. Plus he was able to pull off the quick attack on the first try, and even reverse roles with atsumu to pull off the quick attack with him setting and atsumu spiking, which is truly impressive . But I do agree with you, the situations are only slightly similar, not exactly true parallels.

Me was when the first time he appears, and then I love him by his character and his performances. All his saves always make me cry hard.

I was surprised to hear how common the sentiment among the fanbase was that people think Nishinoya would go pro post-timeskip but then again my perspective comes from a very different angle. I literally knew someone like this back in High School. Someone who had this immense talent but was such a free spirit they never wanted to be tied down to one thing and decided to go on a months long biking expedition around the continental United States as soon as they graduated just because it's what they wanted to do. It's a pretty admirable quality.

This video made me think about how Nishinoya may be the polar opossite of Oikawa in the sense of the difference between where your/our passion/talent is. Oikawa, on one hand, is someone who doesn't have the talent to highlight in volleyball, the sport where his passion is, and the activity he wants to continue doing for the rest of his life. On the other hand, we have Nishinoya, someone who is recognized by various important players, coaches and general public as a genius, but who doesn't want to play volleyball for the rest of his life and also doesn't have this endless huger to be in the court same as Hinata and Kageyama. This, for me, reaffirms the idea that, as you said, not always our talents will align with what our passion is, and that there is nothing wrong with that. That in the end we just have to do what fulfill us and make us happy. PD: My mother language is spanish, so sorry if my english is a little bit rusty.

Never thought of it like that but yeah they are really similar

Haikyu really is so complex yet also so simple. It was made clear to us at the beginning that Haikyu was not just a volleyball anime but also a realistic message on the lifestyle of a player, the journey of a person. Reading Haikyu has been such an enjoyable experience I wish I could enjoy once again. The clever callbacks always get me - every quote, banner and panel that either contrasts or improves the current situation post time skip. Furudate-sensei had planned out the majority of Haikyu for a long time and it is very evident in their cyclic structures like the Takeda mentioning faithful meetings and Rio came up or that libero means "free" in Italian. Furudate even used Tenma as a vehicle to push the ideal that "Hey! You don't have to do something forever or similar". It fives the series depth but does not take away the emotional value at all. During the Inrazaki match is when I found out I am not so clear with the character of Noya but that he seems to do his own thing but not out of selfishness. Doing his own thing was freedom. Furudate-sensei showed through various characters that volleyball doesn't have to be the goal. Either it is directly on the court or off. Everything from the struggling uni student to a stay at home dad. Being as well rounded as the team of Nekoma or a simple job that contributes to society. Kita and Noya's roles just made so much sense to me. I took a minute to dawn on Noya but it clicked instantly. Why did it make so much sense? I couldn't be disappointed in something that seemed so out of reach for a free soul like Noya. Imagining him in a sport that restricts his movement ironically when he's outside court could only cage him as you said. It took me a while to realise that the actual farmer is Kita and not Ushijima but for meme purposes, it will be kept. Kita is diligent and patient. One step at a time. The hard work put in is what will determine the result. Pretty much any job could have been given to Kita because of this, but the farmer and his indirect help with still helping the twins are all there. Did I ever think we needed a Kageyama background story? No. But when I got it, again everything viewed has more meaning and thought. I also love that the theme of food - particularly rice was kept to the end. The openness of Hiakyu left to interpretation is a blessing but also a curious itch that won't leave. I am VERY happy the results of nationals was finally revealed and that at least we had a quick run down through Yaichi about what happened throughout the remaining years. Furudate-sensei at the end of the day just wanted people to realise volleyball is fun and I know that I was drawn into the sport and his story. Haikyu was a beautiful emotional ride and I can not wait for the rest of the episodes to be animated, it's definitely my favourite sports series. I can not wait for the possible rundown of Kita and if possible as a series how you think it has been built. I have seen some people still disappointed in the time skip but I think the transition and choice were perfect, I don't think the manga has any flaws but I won't mind being open to the idea.

@jyll

Жыл бұрын

"The clever callbacks always get me" Same. One example: Those panels in the last chapters when they showed the school banners behind the characters moved me so much. Such splendid character writing by Furudate; I'm pretty sure all major and minor character arcs were wrapped up very nicely.

I wasn't that surprised by Noya not being on a professional team post timeskip, but not because I didn't think he couldn't be on one if he wanted to, but more because I didn't think that was his path to begin with, for a couple reasons. The first case was when Kageyama got chosen for the national training camp, and Noya didn't. At that time, Kageyama and Noya were definitely the best on Karasuno, skills wise. When we get to the camp, we see Kageyama commenting on things that the libero there does that Noya didn't, but there were also things Noya did that they didn't as well. Instead it was more his reaction to not being chosen, that being there wasn't much of one. He was happy for Kageyama, and then for Tsukishima when the Miyagi training camp news came, but wasn't envious of them in the way Hinata was. I felt that this was because he didn't have the same hunger as people like Kageyama and Hinata did, and that's why he wasn't jealous. I also feel like it was because he didn't have this hunger that he wasn't chosen in the first place, since the coach of that camp was seen recognizing that hunger and drive in Hinata, and because most of the people who were at that camp were seen as being a pro, whether that was in the match itself or in cutaways where they showed their team. The second reason is much smaller, but still important towards me realizing Noya's goals. When Hinata has those breakthroughs in receiving in Nationals, Noya is the first person to realize that they aren't flukes, and they were something Hinata was trying to do. And he was proud of Hinata. While I feel like other people such as Suga were also proud of Hinata, I feel like they were proud in different ways. I feel like Suga and the others were proud of Hinata in a "wow look how much improvement he's made in a short time, and just when we needed it, too" kind of way, which there's nothing wrong with. And I feel like there was part of that in Noya's reaction, however I feel like there was more than that. From Hinata's and Noya's very first meeting, where they compared heights, Noya's known that Hinata has more of a drive for the sport itself than Noya himself does. I feel like this was because Noya recognized that being a libero was easier for shorter people than any other role, and since he just valued doing it for the team he went with that, whereas Hinata wanted to be someone attacking, like a middle blocker in the case of Karasuno. He recognized that Hinata was taking the more difficult path for someone of their heights, and therefore I feel like when he saw Hinata making those receives cleanly for the first time, his type of proud was more along the lines of "you're making your first steps towards getting to where you want to be". I feel like this is different because the only ones who really recognized that Hinata needed to start making those first steps when he started making them were Hinata, Ukai, Kageyama, and Noya himself. The rest of the team were okay with slow and steady improvement, on top of his already strong quick attacks. But I feel like his reaction to Hinata's receives were because while he recognized that Hinata was taking the steps necessary for him to become a pro, and was proud of him for hit, he wasn't taking any steps to get there himself, and instead was just enjoying watching Hinata succeed.

This video beautifully elaborated on his personality, goals, and philosophy in an easy to digest manner that made me fully accept post-timeskip Noya. The message about how just because you're good at something doesn't mean you want or have to keep doing it even if it's what everyone expects is so powerful. It's something that I can personally relate to but somehow forgot over the course of time, so being reminded of it was like a slap to my face (or a volleyball to my face?).

holy shit- this very unexpectedly made me tear up a little. your analysis of him and especially the part where it said “he doesn’t have a hunger for volleyball, but for what volleyball means to him” made me feel so happy because that’s the exact same way i think. i just want to do things that make me happy in life, and i’ve always felt pressured to not think like that, to be a high achiever and build off of my talents. but seeing these ideals through one of my favorite characters made me feel so understood and validated. thank you. i cant believe i never realized how similar i am to him

I remember how shocked I was to find that my favorite player didn't go pro like I expected, but instead went travelling around the world. However, the shock didn't last long before I realized that this was the most "noya" thing that our wild, free-spirited noya could've done.

I LOVE NISHINOYA I really enjoy your character analysis videos, the way in which they capture their essences is wonderful Nishinoya is freedom eh...

This genuinely has changed my outlook on life. The other day I was thinking, what if you don't get your dream job then your life would be pointless. Its funny because of how wrong I am to think that way. It's never over there's always something to do and not doing them is a waste.

he really is an embodiment of freedom. i love him so much TT

Personally, I remember a while back, I was kinda out of Haikyuu, like I wasn't really interested in it anymore, so I told one of my friends that he could spoil it to me since he really wanted to talk to someone about it. When he told what happened to Nishinoya, I was like, "I didn't expect that, but it really does make sense." And ironically, I've been a bit more interested into Haikyuu recently because I remembered how much I loved the kid.

Not everyone talented is meant to play and not everyone who wants to play is talented. its just life. You end up doing things that aren't your passion and even excel, but that doesn't bring true happiness and satisfaction. On the flip side, you get a feeling of joy and excitement if you try the things you're actually passionate about - not worrying about failure or what everyone around you says. Nishinoya is actually summed up by what previous coach Ukai used to say-" You need to be good to be free". Noya just wants to be best at everything that makes his heart pounding. He is just like the universe- changing constantly for the better or worse.

I just thought 'Oh, of course Noya would be doing something like this' And even thinking about it now, I never did get the impression from him that he would want to play volleyball at a pro level.

Thank you so much for your insight really. Every single time, you always make me reflect on my own life and how I feel and I’m so thankful for how your videos open my mind.

I always envy and admire this kind of personality. Nishinoya's mindset is admirable because it embodies the importance of not being confined by a single identity or role. His ability to excel while maintaining a broader perspective on life highlights a valuable lesson: true freedom lies in recognizing that one's passions and achievements are part of a larger, ever-evolving journey. This outlook encourages resilience, adaptability, and the courage to explore new paths, making Nishinoya a compelling and inspirational character.

I really really really appreciate you having*spoilers for manga* in title, thank you man❤️❤️❤️

Binged Haikyuu, then just finished watching all your Haikyuu related videos, then this comes out, the gift that keeps giving!

First of all, I’m so happy to see you back ! All of that Bs from KZread was pissing me off but now you’re back with all of your amazing content 🥰 That video was soooo good ! Nishinoya is really his own man and the path he chose was very admirable. He’s similar to an unstoppable wave never bound never broken. What a magnificent analysis of the dude ! Many thank Alex 🥰

You're like the best anituber who analyzes anime. I've seen a few and you're really the best. Keep making great content like this!

Thank God you got your channel back. I always watch the oikawa video when I need to get motivated.

Welcome back and congratulations to the 200k 🎉! Missed your videos!

You're one of the only channels I have notifications on, I absolutely love your videos and I'm so glad you got your channel back :)

Your Haikyuu videos were what made me start watching the anime and even now, after finishing the manga, makes me see the story with a new perspective. Thank you and keep the good work!

What an amazing video, glad to have ya back

I’ll have to book mark this video for when I’ve finished the entire series, I’m sure I’ll enjoy this video whenever I end up watching it in the future😅 keep up the good work

Thank you for coming back, love your videos!

Thank you for showing so much thought and care for a character I've loved since I started watching this series. Great job, man!

So glad you're back! I really liked what you said about Haikyuu being as much about volleyball as it is about seeking new heights. A lot of people say they aren't interested in the show because it's about volleyball, if only they knew how much it applies to life in general. Every character seems to bring me a new perspective, and this video did as well. :) Also, PLEASE DO A KITA VIDEO

Glad you enjoyed! Although unfortunately I only take requests from Patreon. I’m sorry about that.

Just wanted to say I'm glad whatever issues you were having with KZread got resolved and that all of your videos are back online. I have a 14 hour drive coming up in the next few days and plan on listening to your unrivaled story analysis/breakdowns for a majority of it ♥️

@@Aleczandxr Hahaha I plan on making a new KZread account and using the premium trial to download the videos

thank you for the very clear spoiler warning off the rip! it will take a lot of self control, but i shall come back when the rest is animated!!

Finally a very well made analysis on my favorite character

Thank you so much for your awesome videos man! Haikyuu ones especially! You made my day

YOU'RE BACK 😍

Damn your videos are good. I too was surprised at first but it just makes so much sense when you think about it. Also noyas way of thinking is what I recommend everyone should be thinking like. Just do whatever you want and do not give a f what anyone thinks bout you.

Amazing video as always! Your thoughts really encapsulates Noya as a character and my love for him! A lot of people characterize him as someone who is immature and kinda of an idiot (and to some degree he may be one) but I've always felt that the reason he is that way is because he's already realized what kind of person he wants to be which is amazing for a high school student to even realize. :D

I was just watching all your haikyuu vids what a coincidence!! nice vid

You pin-point what exactly made me fallin in love with nishinoya, thank you TT

I hate when other channels disrespect Haikyuu.

It's early morning here in the Philippines but you're making me cry. Wait, I am crying! I have some thoughts I want to share but I can't stop crying. Haikyuu made me emotional. Lol

Hey Alec, hard lurker here. Thank you for your insight on Nishinoya about him being a person who values the experience of life itself and the novelty of living for that experience. He has no concrete "purpose" of achieving something and is a huge exception to the idea that an individual needs a purpose grounded in some one thing to progress through, better oneself and experience life. I always looked to and idolized Hinata in his unwavering passion for volleyball that carried him through life, coloring it and thus him making the most it. I yearned so much for that for myself but I've never had that one thing or even 2-3 major passions I could live my life through. I feel trapped, not advancing forward thinking I need that "thing" to live but Nishinoya shows me that you don't have to posses that, that you can yearn and be passionate for the experience of life itself how you want it. Like it seems like such a simple and liberating way to live. It gives me hope that I can experience the juices of life just for itself..... Idk what I'm saying, took me an hour to write this haha. Thank you

I really get what you mean, I have used hinata' hunger for volleyball as a form of motivation despite his setbacks and thought how to apply to my life(it's in need of motivation) but I could not get the drive until this video which explains to me why I loved the intro of noya-sa and his embodiment of freedom in whatever you pursuit, it reminds me of one piece and it's themes and I have to say a big thank you to Alec, and furudate sensei ( maybe also one piece but this is a Haikyuu vid)

Out of topic but now I'm crying because Noya is everything Eren wants to be, he's free-

Aleczandxr, I swear I hate watching your Haikyuu!! videos because you really make me emotional and I hate my emotions so much ajgfhjdsgfgsg but as usual you are so right. When I first saw the spread of Nishinoya fishing I was honestly disappointed but not surprised because it just made so much sense, Yu was always a free spirit, pure energy that found itself going where ever it wants to. So seeing him across the world doing something as random as fishing made so so much sense and I couldn't be mad because he looked so happy and just as full of life as he always did. My main disappointment is that we didn't get to hear anything else from him, we see a shot of him in Italy and then two photographs and that's it (but I guess that's just part of my burning insistence that Karasuno deserved better as a whole so nvm) Also I think him being called the guardian deity is what fully cemented his life choice to be the right one in my eyes. He was a guardian and was there when he was needed but once he graduated he had finished serving his duty to Karasuno and needed to find his place elsewhere. Nishinoya was one of the first characters I fell in love with so to see him happy and living his life to the fullest really made me tear up which I'm doing all over again because of this video so thank you ♡

Man you just made me love noya more than l already do great video.

Thank you for that episode!

*Rolling...........THUNDAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA*

You is my favorite character and the main motivator for me playing volleyball the past 4 years. What an addicting sport.

Appreciate the spoiler warning mate :)

I'm missing Haikyuu!!! Thanks for the video. Nishinoya is one of my favorite character in the series together with Oikawa, Kuroo and Kenma.

I'm really glad you back uploading!

His revelation is one of my favourites, alongside Osamu and Kita (for non pro players)
