It’s hard to pickup on a first watch through but the bathroom scene with Ennoshita wasn’t about him being upset that he didn’t get the attention. During his monologue he says “don’t relax now!” because he was feeling relieved that Daichi would be back and that he wouldn’t need to face the tougher upcoming opponents. For a moment he was relieved that he didn’t need to feel that pressure or carry that responsibility any longer than he had to. Which is why he got mad at himself because it reminds him of when he ran away the first time.

I interpreted that a bit differently. He finally got play a major role in an important game and help the team achieve victory, which was a goal of his. I felt like "Don't relax now!" was him telling himself not to rest on his laurels and stop trying to improve just because he had achieved success. A lot of athletes fall into that trap, and Ennoshita is smart enough to know the risk and determined enough to want to avoid it.

@@BleydTorvall yea with how the anime translates it i understand that interpretation but the manga makes it more clear that he was feeling relieved after seeing daichi. either way it leads to the same goal of wanting to improve

I feel like Tanaka telling Ennoshita that he's a year away from being able to do what Daichi can is actually a form of praise. After all, Ennoshita is a year younger than Daichi, so Tanaka is essentially telling him that he's on the same track that Daichi was on at the same age.

I think it could've been conveyed better in the show, but the reason Ennoshita was angry at himself was because he was relieved to see that Daichi wasn't seriously injured. He felt a weight off his shoulders knowing he wouldn't have to start in the next match. He is angry with himself because he knows that he should be hungry for that starting spot, and that he shouldn't be feeling relief in that moment.

It's cool to see you immediately praise their diving drills - one can tell that you'd definitely enjoy Haikyuu with how scrupulously things are set-up, and how rewarding it feels to have all those promises fulfill~ The author of Haikyuu spoke about First writing the game properly, and Then making sure the plot fits the developments within that game, stressing that if the volleyball part doesn't make sense, then there's no point in the manga at all. So it's nice when you predict things correctly, goes to show just how much research has been done to write everything properly! "I don't want to like Takeru, but I do" - that's Haikyuu for you :"D

When Takeru cried saying “please let me experience it one more time” hits home cuz damn everytime we lose even when we give it our all, we always just want to keep fighting

In addition, it's the first time Takeru can see where the opponents hands are as opposed to just using angles. He just learned a new facet of his game just as his high school career has ended.

I love how Sarah’s faces gets so serious when other people talk trash about Karasuno🤣 is so funny🤍

I hope you read this comment. It is so hard to realize and understand for someone who is just reading the subtitles and as someone who has been living in Japan for last 6 years and been learning Japanese for 8 years. The scene where Ennoshita is in bathroom hits much harder. Because the line he says “don’t relax now” has much deeper meaning other than just this match is over … blah2. It actually means now that he saw Daichi okay, it means he doesn’t need to play as captain, hold responsibilities as captain. Which gave him some relaxation but at the same time he is mad at himself for not thinking I will fight whether Daichi is there or not, no matter who is my opponent, that is why he is mad at himself at that moment

Yamaguchi was frustrated by himself. He didn’t try his best weapon, jump floater serve, because he scared to fail. Then watching Ennoshita who also scared to substitute for Daichi but he overcome his fear. Sarah, Haikyu has excellent character development.

Coach Ukai: Nakashima is the closest to the Little Giant play style. Hinata: _saves the ball with a dive and instantly go for a spike_ Also Hinata: *And I took that personally*

I always wondered who this episode title is referring to. The Japanese word is 敗北者達 (haibokusha-tachi), so first of all, it doesn't have anything to do with being "uncool" or whatever. It's not that type of "loser." Haiboku is "to suffer defeat," so you could call it "the defeated," as well. In one sense, it might be Takeru at the end, who lost to Karasuno, or Yamaguchi, who feels like he defeated himself, or Ennoshita, who had to come back from his own past mental defeats, only to feel like, even if they won the match, he hasn't actually defeated his inner demons. It's an interesting title.

12:44 when En-no-shita is digging a ball, we can see Waku-nan's RED flag "粘りを見せろ". It means "Show your fighting sprite" (untill the ball falls on the court). Who shows? It's Ennoshita. 21:19 we can see Karasuno BLACK flag "飛べ(fly)". Who is flying? It's Ennoshita. Very nice composition. I think this is, this is Japan Manga.

Omg same, amazing job Lydia!

The next few episodes are going to be an absolute banger. Karasuno's final match in season 2 is generally regarded by fans as one of the top five matches in the series. Two of these matches have not been animated yet. Out of the remaining three that have been animated, fans have not reached a consensus in which order they would rank them. All three matches are so good, different fans rank them in a different order. Out of all the matches in Haikyuu that Sarah has watched so far, none of them are in the top five. tl;dr Sarah is in for a wild ride.

The beauty of Haikyuu.. it doesn't just rely on the main cast but also uses the opposing team to tell a story. Even though you _know_ you should be rooting for the main characters, you can't help but empathize and feel for the other team.

Yes, Sarah! We're getting closer and closer! The weeks are flying by! Also congrats to you and Melissa! 🥰 Oh, and just to give you a heads up for the upcoming matches (and some past matches) - the ball spin when they set is just a stylized for animation. We know in reality that might as well be a quadruple touch. 😅

Question Sarah: How much of the arm angle/hand angle changes do you guys actually react to as pros? Example 8:38 it's slowed down for us viewers to see him switch to a tip. When you're playing actual pro matches how quickly do you actually react to those things, or what sort of 'tells' can you pick up in real time and in those split seconds?

It's nice to see how different is the reaction of pro players who react at the incredible play that Hinata makes in this episodes. Some says it realistic, some says it's not and i like this thing. It all depends of what we see and lived while playing volleyball

Sarah, I think you're able to predict Haikyuu so well because you are a great player and the volleyball in the show is realistic. This is why we love watching your reactions!

@6:13 One of my favorite scenes in this whole series, not better than his opponent yet, but that doesn't mean he can't put pressure on them with his limited skills right now. Hustle will usually lose to talent, but it can put a ton of pressure on talented players to feel like they have to perform at their peak constantly, which in turn will eventually cause mistakes.

Ennoshita is literally one of my favorite characters and seeing you react to this episode only put him higher on my list. I've been waiting for you to react to this one because it makes my heart so warm that you see and acknowledge Daichi and seeing you do the same for Ennoshita makes me CRY (in a good way of course). I always look forward to your reaction videos

6:19 Ukai picking up the bench for Hinata's safety is amazing

Gotta love Sarah's humble attitude at 7:33. She says "someone explain this to me" when she's the only olympian around here 🤣

Sarah: I’m neutral Also Sarah: I realllly want Seijoh to lose though 😂😂

Must be said... LOVE YOU EDITOR-SAN 😂❤️

"Winners and Losers" is one of your all-time favorites? You are a woman of culture, that episode is truly one of the GOATs. But… whenever reacters say a character is thirty or something like that, I feel personally attacked, because I was one of those teens that looked like adults.

God I love how this show also makes Ukai a nuanced character and explores how difficult being a coach can be as he wonders how the best way to handle yamaguchi is

I love this match so much I'm not surprised you can't stop LOL. I cried (Yamaguchi nooo don't cry T_T) sooo much I didn't expect it lol. I love how Ennoshita has been here all along, he gives advice, he keeps the 2nd years in line, and explains the game but he's easy to overlook. That's actually the meaning of his name! Essential workers who work hard in the background that keeps society running without fanfare

I want to see her reaction to season 3 and 4 so bad

Greart watch as usual. That last save by Ennoshita is 1 of my most favorite scenes, & drove Ennoshita up on my fav chara list as well. Gonna leave my personal opinions about the iffy subs as usual: 18:12 「烏養さんが…『終盤だし、東峰さんにトス集めてもいいかもなっ』…てさ」➔ "Ukai-san... He was saying that it might be okay to start giving tosses to Azumane-san since the match is almost over". This should be more like "Ukai-san said that it might be OK to start concentrating/giving most of the tosses to Azumane-san now that we're in the last stretch of the game". Saying "start giving tosses to Azumane" at this stage in the game is obviously a bit weird. 20:00 「夕が抜けたとこ狙って得るゥッ！」➔ "They targeted the spot Yu didn't cover". I could be wrong, but I believe it should be more like "They targeted the spot where Yu left". The wording 「抜けたとこ」makes me think that Nishinoya just switched out? 25:05 「安心してんじゃねぇよ！次どこが勝ち上がって来ようが、戦ってやるって思えよ、バカッ！」➔ "Don't you dare relax now! You need to think that you're gonna defeat the next opponent that comes around, you idiot!". As many have pointed out in the comments, it's unfortunate that some seem not to get what was going on in this scene, but I guess the translation here made it a bit hard to understand, since the Japanese lines actually make it pretty clear? Maybe something more like "Don't you dare go feeling relieved, darn it! Be in the mindset that you're GONNA go out there & fight, no matter which team comes up winning, idiot!".

The character setting of Hinata is that he is extremely athletic and fast. The show tries to highlight this a couple of times in this season, for example the spider-man move in the match against Johzenji. So that's why he is depicted in this match as being able to make the save in the back and immediately run for a spike in the front. Sure, it might seem unrealistic from a professional standpoint, but a certain degree of suspension of disbelief is required to completely enjoy Haikyuu.

It’s always a delightful rollercoaster of emotions to watch Haikyuu with you! Extra kudos to Lydia this episode, the Lion King edit made me cackle and the genie trick made me laugh so hard.

These next 7 episodes are what we've all been waiting for. You're in for a TREAT. Especially episode 24.

i have thought since early season 1 that you are the literal haikyuu genie it's quite insane actually

I love how expressive you are as a reactor. Like even if you aren't saying anything I could see how much you empathised with Takeru after the loss. It's so easy to see how much this show affects you because you've been in their shoes and its heartwarming. There are a lot of people who react to this show and so many of them don't have that openness to their expression and that vulnerability when it comes to talking about how hard losing it. I really can't wait to see more from you no matter how long it takes.

Just a reminder that Episode 19 has an after-credit scene!!! Please bump so she can see!

So the thing about Shoyo that I think you’re forgetting is he has him ridiculous amount of athleticism and body control but he’s just short and in the first season that’s what kageyama told him how do you have all this talent but don’t know how to play volleyball(not in those exact words at all) but he just shows how gifted he is that’s why he’s able to make the dive and then get up and make a quick

Yey! Been waiting for your reaction!

Loved this reaction Sarah, the genie editing made me laugh so much! You're so right, this series makes every match a little bittersweet because there are people on the other team that are great too!

This is so good

I am very grateful for Sarah's reaction because getting inside from a player of this caliber is very rare. I have to say that it is particularly interesting for me to see how real world proven world class players react and it is very interesting for me to see that Sarah though being the very very best of the sport sympathizes a lot with players who are not the very best athletes.

20:18 lmao this is haikyuu you can't help hut eventually root for the opposing team 😂❤

Don't flail, a good jump come from good footing That's unbelievable qoute.

looking forward to the next episodes

at the end i think ennoshita felt he couldve done better he didnt want to feel complacent just bcs daichis there.. i think he was convincing himself to step up more..

Lydia bringing out unexpected, excellent edits lol 11:45 really got me

Definitely have to suspend disbelief in sports anime sometimes, including the more realistic ones like Haikyuu. That said, I think Hinata picking up that dig out of bounds was a nice nod to all the penalty diving drills they did during the training camp coming to fruition, so I was okay with that part. You're right though that probably one of the other hitters should have been the one to convert.

Woohoo! Just in time as I'm doing stationary bike!

I love when Ukai casually tossed Takeda to avoid another injury on the bench, what a coach~.

I like your reaction！！！

🤲❤️ I love seeing your reactions.

about the scene you're talking about at 7:38 I think we forget that they're still teenagers. yeah, maybe it's unrealistic in adult volleyball, but for kids, who are full of energy, I'm pretty sure saves like these are likely to happen. kids are light (I'm not saying volleyball players are fat or sth haha), don't have much muscles, so they are most likely to be quick. especially Hinata, who's also short, so it helps him getting to the ball quicker I guess
