Completely agree. Kunimi conserves his energy and doesn't like to over-exert himself until it's the right time. Oikawa knows this, and knows how to exploit it constructively; Kageyama just saw him as lazy. He's frustrated by seeing Oikawa work better with Kunimi than he ever could.

kageyama's old team didn't seem to make an effort to properly communicate with him either. Karasuno works better with kageyama because they are willing to talk to him in a way he understands or in the case of hinata willing to fight until they figure out a solution. Kageyama is not great at observation he has to make an effort to figure out how the team feel often literally asking them and SPOILER: He doesn't learn to really accommodate his teams spikers until season 4

@@tomuchcamoflauge To be fair, i think thats more a product of their age rather than lack of trying. The person who sparked that growth in Kageyama to learn to communicate first and foremost has to be Daichi with the events of the first few episodes, and really getting it into their heads that good teamwork is essential. Daichi is 17/18, and has a lot more maturity in communication, on top of the age hierarchy in japan, he's definitely more effective. Asking a bunch of 12-15yo's to learn to communicate with an unreasonable and aggressive person that is at best your age, or at worst 3 years older than you is too high of an expectation imo.

​@@backinmydaycartoons7957 *some spoilers* Okaiwa who would have been the person he needed to better connect with the team in the first year very actively did not communicate with him. He literally almost backhanded kageyama when kageyama asked to learn a serve. The rest of the team all gave up on him mid game somewhere in the 3rd year. The other factor would be the coaches, which at the beginning would have technically been daichi for karasuno, the coach of kageyama's middle school didn't make kageyama play any different. That coach only took kageyama out when the team gave up working with him. the little that he was in there that coach just acted like kageyama's ability would just work without the interpersonal part of the team being worked on. Daichi being basically the coach, at the time, and not having a lot of people forced kageyama to be at least congenial with the team. He needed a TEAM not a king Also daichi, suga and tanaka were at the game between hinata and kageyama, and kageyama was a general player to watch. They already knew when they got the applications that Hinata was athletic but untrained and kageyama was impatient and bossy. They literally had a plan before kageyama and hinata were there.

@@tomuchcamoflauge also fair. All sides for his middle school screwed up, the coach didn't properly lead his team, his team didn't communicate properly for reasons that are fair, and kags didn't communicate properly either. The thing with this show, is that so many people are growing and becoming better people since the start of the show. There's many problems that are being solved by these people that help these kids

So, a quick comment on Oikawa's 'I believe in you." It's poorly translated for the anime in season 1 so most people seem to get the wrong end of the stick, but in the original Japanese Seijoh's coach clearly explains that unlike literally EVERYTHING ELSE Oikawa says, despite the line sounding like it could be a joke or even a threat... that one line is always said with absolute faith and honesty. And because they know Oikawa believes in them 100%, every player on Seijoh can trust him with everything they have. Oikawa is a showy, showboating pretty boy who can be incredibly flaky and petty... but his love for his teammates and his desire to do his best for them is second to none in the whole show. If there's one thing he shows his true determination and passion in, it's volleyball.

Yup. Sarah is absolutely right that Oikawa is immature and petty. He even has an inferiority complex. An absolute brat all around. Kageyama does bring out the worst in him, but that's also just who Oikawa is. But this line isn't an example of it. Oikawa will always be there for his team to support them and build them up. His team mates may not be nearly as good as he is, but that doesn't matter to him. Because he truly does believe in them. His dedication to volleyball and being a team player is almost inspiring, and I kinda wish we had a series where Seijoh were the main characters and go to nationals. He's still an immature brat though. So even though I personally really like him, I can 100% understand why Sarah dislikes him so much. And I can't wait to hear more of her thoughts on him in the next few episodes. I really enjoy her perspective even if we may disagree 😊

I still think oikawa's most immature side is brought out only by kageyama. He sees the guys and becomes a whole special level of petty it's hilarious😂😂😂

Oikawas “I believe in you” has never been snarky. The whole point of that line is that it’s always sincere but the anime poorly translates that in season 1 and many reactors miss it.

It's so funny to see Sarah's distaste for everything Oikawa does. For me, he's such an endearing character. I'm sure there was a time I didn't like him when I was watching the show for the first time, but even in these episodes it's painfully obvious how much he cares about volleyball and his team and how much he wants to win. I'm also generally weak for smart characters with a heavy presence :D The musical score during Mad Dog's appearance is nothing short of perfection. Really reminds me of Prowler's musical theme from Into the Spider-Verse, gives me the same kind of chills. 10/10, absolutely terrifying

Mad Dog is a plot device for two reasons: (1) to show that Seijoh are symbolic of a wolf pack as opposed to Karasuno's crows, and (2) to show that Oikawa, modeled on Alexander the Great, can bring out the best even in an unruly individualist.

you´ll love seasons 3 and 4, as they make progress more strategy starts taking place and blocking becomes something you really come to appreciate in the series, everything becomes more complex in terms of volleyball, we grow in knowledge with the team as they learn.

Breathe, Sarah, breathe. It's gonna get even more intense. Also, shout out to the editor, Lydia Xu. The edits of these past few videos have been so much fun.

this match has got to be one of the best matches in haikyuu overall, even as someone who has finished reading the manga this is my top 2 match, even in the poll that was actually voted on and put in the manga it's one of the favorite matches of the fandom. all the techniques from each team and let alone the story line and the build up from the first practice game to here in spring tourney is what makes it so good

as someone who has read the manga, this is my most favorite match. ur in for a treat :)

I absolutely loved the part where they changed the animation for Yahaba. It was hilarious 😂. And I would like to say I really enjoy watching your videos.

Mad dogs introduction is one of my favorite moments in the entire series. Such an intense attack that it made my jaw drop the first time I saw it!

OMG SARAH!! Congrats on your win at the Commonwealth Games!! You and Melissa did amazing! That second set was such an amazing comeback! I loved every minute of watching that game and I’m so proud to call myself one of your fans 🥰

still amazed how Sarah can remember every little details of everyone in this show 😭 you're amazing!

cant wait to watch this video, this my favourite match in the whole anime/manga

This episode is always exciting because the first set just flys by and we get Oikawa’s cannon serve and then Mad Dogs entrance waiting an entire week to see if it’s in or out with the jazz going crazy. Can’t wait to see your reaction to the rest of this match it’s one of my favs in the whole show Sarah!

My personal fav match of the series. Can't wait to see your reaction to it! Also, a little early, but I highly recommend 2 things, 1) would be watching episode 24-25 together if at all possible (if there is a delay we understand!) and 2) when you finish episode 25 to watch the special OVA scene. As you get closer I'm sure other people will say similar/we can link the actual clip on youtube, but great reaction as always!

This is one of the greatest fight in the anime world.

Aside from scrimmages, every match from now on is an absolute banger

Oh Sarah, brace you're self because the next episodes and seasons will definitely make you pass out while crying. Thank you again for another amazing reaction!

There is extra scene (OVA) which is continuation of the match after the ending of ep 25. I hope you watch it right after the last episode Sarah and if possible I hope you record that as part of the reaction of ep 25 itself.

21:59 The ball bounced of the gound before he landed. Thats what happened XD

Being immature Is a facade to protect his vulnerable self. He Is actually a very tormented character.

Great reaction as always Sarah ❤️

I wasn’t quite expecting a video this week tbh, as Sarah is away for Commonwealth games.. and smashing it!! ❤️ so it was a bonus to get a notification for this episode 😊 Also, I admire how Sarah remembered Oikawa’s little routine before a match (saying “I believe in all of you” to his teammates).. I’m pretty sure a lot of people have missed this the first time, including myself.. the fact that she instantly connected that moment to the one in this episode is just 🔥 no wonder she’s my favourite Haikyuu reactor and volleyball content creator 🥰😊

Just love that trumpet OST for Mad Dog! Gonna leave my support & personal opinions about the iffy subs as usual: 3:15「チャラい」➔ "show off". In this case, something more like "shallow" might have been better. 3:54「な～んか澤村君、貫禄ついたんじゃない？」➔ "You seem like you've aged a bit, Sawamura-kun". This should be more like "You seem to have gained an air of dignified presence, Sawamura-kun". Though I get that they went with the "aged like fine wine" train of thought by using the terminology for 「貫禄=dignity」, the "you've aged" wording seems to often get misinterpreted by viewers to be an insult & leave them angry at Oikawa when in actuality, Oikawa's just making a flat observation. In fact, his original choice of words could even be taken as a compliment or recognition of strength/confidence. 23:06「簡単に超えられるなんて思ってねぇ。張り合って力むな。」➔ "It won't be easy to get it over. Don't put too much strength into it." This is a misinterpretation caused by omitted pronouns. It should be more like "I (definitely) don't think that I can overtake (him/Oikawa) easily. Don't compete with (him) & end up putting too much strength into it." They showed that Kageyama just replayed Oikawa's great serve in his mind, so obviously, he's telling himself not to get overly affected by it. I mean, Kageyama saying simply getting a serve over the net is a difficult thing for him is kinda ridiculous. 23:30「恐れている暇はない！勝負に出なくてはね！」➔ "There is no time to panic. They need to go out there and fight". Another case of misinterpretation caused by omitted pronouns. This should be more like "There is no time to be fearful/timid! (I/We) must take up the challenge!”. The Seijoh head coach assessed the situation & decided here to go on the offensive & put Kyoutani in (also shown by him decidedly slapping his hand down on his knee). Some seem to be surprised by Kyoutani's "sudden" switch-in, but if the coach's lines were interpreted correctly, the scenario would've flowed more smoothly. Like others have commented, it's kinda sad that she seems to interpret things in a bad way when it comes to members of the opposing teams. Like how she thinks of Oikawa's line of trust in his teammates as a "snarky remark" & even thinks that his teammates resent him for it & "got back at him" in this ep, when it's actually about all the trust amongst the team members. & HOW did she come to the conclusion that Kageyama "hates" Kunimi?! So sad...

I dunno, do we riot or something if Sarah doesn't become a Oikawa stan at the end of this match? 😂
