"a genius but someone who has put a lot of work into his skill" THIS. THIS IS IT. For some reason, because all the characters constantly call Kageyama a 'genius', a lot of people think that his character is 'unrealistic' because of his talent, or that he has it easy compared to other characters that have to work hard. They seem to have conveniently forgotten that Kageyama's life literally revolves around volleyball,. He's never one to say no to extra practice AND he's not too prideful to pick up skills from other people even if he was, arguably, more technically skilled than them. He never asked to be called a genius, he just wants to play volleyball for as much and as long as he can.

Basically Kageyama showed him how important his roll is and Hinata took it in, hence why at the end there he tells Asahi he'll try his absolute best as the decoy of the team.

Coach, I actually prefer you pausing a lot then talking or explaining things. I don't want you to miss a lot of lines cause each one of that is meaningful. Anyways, I do appreciate and enjoy your vids a lot. Thank you for doing this!!

Japanese names work like this: Last names come first, followed by the first name. Hinata Shoyo: Hinata is his family name. Shoyo his given name. Also, one thing I'm afraid you misunderstood is the response Hinata gave after Kageyama's speech. He no longer thinks that the position of "the strongest decoy" is uncool. Kageyama got through to him. That position is cool as fuck because he's the one that the opposition will be consistently worrying about. Azumane Asahi might be the Ace because of his brute hitting strength and reliability but Hinata is Kageyama's greatest weapon in a sense. It's the club he brings out to beat down the opponents in his way indiscriminately time and time again. Hinata is to be feared. He's to be marked. That's the point and ultimately what Karasuno as a team want you to do. Love these video, keep them coming. You could improve your attention span during the episodes a bit... but really don't overthink it. If it's too much hassle then just keep doing what you're doing and you're bound to get better at this with time :=)

I think its important to remember that Coach Donny's attention is split among several things when he's recording. He's watching the animation, reading the subtitles, and thinking about what anecdotes and insights he has that can add to the experience so its interesting for us to watch. It's understandable that he misses a few things, I would probably miss a lot more. Also, I think you gave great explanations about how their names work and Hinata's position as decoy.

Man, absolutely everyone gets thrown off by that "How cruel" line. I think it might be the worst translated line in the entire show. It actually means something closer to, "What a shame," or, "That's unexpected." Coach hit it right on the head though: they have such good teamwork and chemistry that you wonder where they would be if they had known each other earlier. Btw: because the ages for Jr. High and high school are different in Japan, one might consider Jr. High sports the equivalent of high school Jr. Varsity: think high school freshmen, not 6th through 8th graders. Which is why they make a bigger deal about it.

In both Inter High and Haruko, there’s only one spot for each metropolitan area to qualify for the national championship, and only areas like Tokyo, Osaka and Hokkaido will have an extra spot. So in Haikyuu and of course in reality, all high school students dream of qualifying for the national championship and try to do their best to win it.

“ like a ninja running in the field “ Hmm.. very true indeed

You’ll see the reason why Ukai said, “how cruel” means in later episodes. The reason deeply involved in how Kageyama is talented and how Suga is ordinariness. Haikyuu is never talking about how good talented player, but there are some player can be called “genius”. This is the reality. Then, is there any meanings that ordinary people’s struggling in front of such overwhelming talent? I think Haikyuu is talking about how each people face this question in their own way especially Suga and Oikawa who made aware of their own ordinariness by genius Kageyama. Of course, talent is not everything. I believe many factors needs to be a “good player”. But the more competitive the more you compare your skills to better player’s skills. I think anybody who trying hard on things will go through it. Sorry for my awkward English and it’s just my thoughts. I’m looking forward to your reaction and enjoyed every week. Love from Japan 🇯🇵

Was going to comment this. With a Yeti, you talk into the front, not the top.

the reason y its a difficult choice between the 2 setters is not because of talent only. since suga is a 3rd year, it will be his last year playing for the team, so the coach also has to talk that into consideration. because it will be suga's last chance to play with everyone

Asahi, Nishinoya and kageyama are all "prodigies" who went to powerhouse schools: Asahi went to Seukoudai, Nishinoya went to Chidoriyama and Kageyama went to Kitagawa Daichi so theyre the ones to look out for. (Kageyama is like a super prodigy tho so you probably shouldnt expect the other two to keep up with him)

I read somewhere that in Haikyuu the popularity pools for characters are really difficult because almost every character in there, no matter how minor role he has, gets at least some points and the distribution is more equal then everywhere else. Because... all the characters are lovable in their own way and almost everyone has it's own fandom. Say any name from Haikyuu in the fandom and you will get at least 10 people telling you how awesome that character is :D And I think that's beautiful.

23:47 I love the look on Hinata's face, this is one of the most emotional moments. He knows he has his shortcomings, he knows he need Kageyama to fight, he knows he cannot fight the blockers alone. But the moment of contact tells him he can still fight. That look is the look of sadness, acceptance, pride, defeat and triumph all compressed in it.

We're just touching the surface of some Karasuno's players at this point & it's already so good huh.. At this point I can't wait to see coach adopting like what, 50 more kids from different school throughout the show lmaoo. The author is really really good at character-writing and story-telling tbh. Like they all ended up "connected" ok and that's what makes Haikyuu... Haikyuu. Really one of a kind of story for me.

actually, I am looking back on the characters with him and I didnt even recognize how much hinata has progressed just visually alone. Like mega props for the designers of these characters. At the beggining Hinata is very skinny, wimpy and unrefined, while in the later seasons he is so focused and lean, Its actually crazy how much he changed without me realizing it.

the fact that almost all character have their personal stories make it REALLY HARD to decide which team to cheer onnnn

Hey coach, I’ve been meaning to comment this for a while. I love this series and am so excited for you to reach the later seasons and meet all the new characters! This reaction series is something I very much look forward to watching every week so I appreciate that there are two a week now!! It’s so well rounded- with the conversation on volleyball, to talks about animation, and just general life anecdotes, it’s great. Thanks for the awesome entertainment.

The "How cruel" coach Ukai said is actually related to him later saying "wait to get picked vs being a picker". More specifically he is talking about the two setters, Kageyama and Suga. Suga is more experienced and has better communication with his teammates, yet Kageyama has superior skills and talents, and the "How cruel" he sighed is referring to how cruel it is that with his talents, Kageyama can build this amazing duo (both about skill and mentally understanding) with Hinata in such a short time, while this kind of connection with teammates normally takes way longer and should only be more accessible for more experienced players like Suga. In short the "cruel" sigh is referring to how talents can brutally surpass experience and connection accumulated via time, and how cruel it is to see this happens.

I haven't read the manga but I've got so many spoilers from fanarts that I got what you did there 😁

So, in Japan they usually call each other for their last names unless they are very close and when they introduce themselves they say their last name first: Hinata (last name) Shouyo (first name) Kageyama (“) Tobio (“) Tsukishima (“) Kei (“) Yamaguchi (“) Tadashi (“) Tanaka (“) Ryuunosuke (or Ryu for short) Nishinoya (“) Yuu (fist name) Azumane (“) Asahi (“) Sawamura (“) Daichi (“) Sugawara (“) Koshi (“) Etc. Hope it’s helpful, really like your reactions and the way you explain and show the techniques so people who don’t play (like me) understand better :)

It takes 5-8hours to edit the video but it takes 1 video to make my whole 24 hours ❤️

9:23 haha nice to hear about my national team setter!

Just want to say thank you again for doing this! I only started watching Haikyuu a few months ago (after coming across the hype when the manga ended), and have probably missed out on a lot of community interaction when everyone was raving over how good this series is. So to be able to have fun and learn more about volleyball through your videos and have fun reading the comments is really amazing! P.S. Would you consider doing a "draw my life video" sometime? I think it would be a great video for us new viewers and for you as someone who does art too!

reminder: Azumane is Asahi's last name :)

The “How Cruel” the way I interpret it is... Coach Ukai was just thinking, life is cruel that it didn’t let these 2 meet earlier on in their lives. He’s just imagining if they’re this good now in a few days/weeks imagine if they’ve been with each other for years, that’s how I view the “how cruel”

Kageyama says to Hinata what he can do NOW. Having no other skills than his physical ability he cannot go against blockers like Asahi does. In other terms: do what you can do the best now, but practice to get better. Kageyama is actually helping Hinata understand that what he has now - a jumping ability and speed are his greatest assets and the fact that he always goes in full throttle into a game, which makes him a perfect decoy. Kageyama knows Hinata cannot change his physique but in this scene he admits that Hinata has what other players don't - his ability to jump, his speed and yearning to win and unbreakable will. In other words: no matter the position - everyone is crucial to winning in VB. Asahi is a first name and Asahi is the second player, after Daichi to be called by his first name. Azumane is his family name, so in Japanese he is called: Azumane Asahi. (family name usually comes first).

I thought that there’s no way anyone can set like Kageyama and it’s just an anime’s exaggeration. But thank to coach’s explanation, it’s possible after all. That’s why you need an expert 😌

Japanese teacher here: names can be a bit tricky, because how Japanese people refer to others depends on their relative age/rank, but if you figure out a few things, it can really deepen appreciation for this and other series. For Asahi Azumane, The 1st- and 2nd-years refer to him as Azumane-san or sometimes Asahi-san, but Suga and Daichi just call him 'Asahi' (no '-san', which we call "tame-go" or "same-age speech"). It's common on sports teams (in Japan and in many cultures) to call everyone by their last names or a nickname, so 'Hinata' is basically just 'Hinata.' Only really Noya calls him by his first name, Shoyo. This will become explicit later on in the series, but many of the names in this series have deeper meanings, mostly playing on either "light / dark", "sun / moon/shade," or "crows / flying": ・Hi-nata Sho-yo (日向　翔陽) Sun-facing Soar-sunlight ・Kage-yama Tobi-o (影山　飛雄) Shade-mountain Fly-heroic ・Tsuki-shima Kei (月島　蛍) Moon-island Firefly ・Azuma-ne Asahi (東峰　旭) East-peak Dawn (from "sun rises in the east") ・U-kai Kei-shin (烏養　繋心) Crow-nurture Connect-mind/heart

I dont want to spoil anything, but coach, I hope you are ready for future episodes. Like season 4 stuff. AAAAHHHHHHHHHHH I'm so excited about what the future holds

"Asics advertisement" Ngl I'm not even a volleyball player and I wanna buy a pair even if it's just for working out 😅

I love your commentary on the show coach, if Haikyuu got me into volleyball then your commentary and other videos help a bunch with improving skill so thank you!

I kinda wonder what his thoughts/experiences are on "being in the zone" and, if possible, his thoughts on Kuroko no Basket's depiction of it

When coach said that there are different ways to score a point and it doesn't have to be powerful and flashy necessarily, it reminded me of one of the memorable monologues of a " certain someone". Would love to see his reaction to that , when the anime reaches to that particular point.

36mins? Easy peasyyy Plus, it's coach Donny reacting 😎 Always the treat watching your vids coach. More power! 💪

Japanese terms we’ll often hear from Haikyuu series: 1. Sugoi/Suge: great/impressive 2. Kakkoii: cool (compliment for men) 3. Urusai: shut up 4. Boke: dumb

Having a Coach's outlook on this series makes it so enriching.

I knew Coach Donny was really knowledgeable about volleyball, but it's a delightful surprise to learn he's an animation/illustration nerd too. Super super cool.

If you think it's cool that one whole episode can be half a match, just wait until season 3. One whole season for a single match. (It's also the best season.)

23:27 (Hinata running past blockers) coach: "Like a NINJA running in the fields" you got that right coach!

as someone that doesnt follow volleyball but enjoys haikyuu and understands the competitive drive. i really appreciate the insight you provide. hopefully there are more shows/movies in the future, where you can provide us with more video

I like how coach is speaks calmy lol it sounds so calming

A pleasant surprise to see a new video notification from Coach 😊

Manga fans all smirked when Coach said Hinata's like a ninja.

its so fun how asahi is depecited as a gentle giant, it so much more nuanced, like, if the character mechanic is to be strong, the cliche angle would be make him angry and agressive, but the author took another route

Wowww I never understood Ukai's evil smile until now. Having two different kinds of players in the same position really would be the best, and that actually works very well for Karasuno in their future games. I greatly enjoy your insights because they help me understand the characters' mindsets and decisions better, especially as they reach higher and higher heights

Omg yesss I don't even play volleyball and I'm learning so much life lessons from you.. It's the same feeling I get watching Haikyuu and reading the manga.. I wonder what sort of family, friends or colleagues coach grew up with.. I would love to see more of the younger generation to meet the same circle..

I definitely agree that Asahi is humble. However, there’s a fine line between humility and insecurity. There needs to be a bit of confidence in yourself, in my opinion. Love this channel! Keep doing you, Coach 😁

Coach Donny: It's amazing that an entire episode could be dedicated to 5 or 6 points. Me: wait till he gets to season 3 where an entire season is dedicated to one game.

Bruno and Marouf are probably my two favorite setters. It’s always so interesting watching them play. Plus the connection Bruno has with his hitters, especially Lucas, is amazing.

As a dragon boat player time really slows down when you're in the moment. The months of preparation then suddenly in just less than a minute the race is over.

Azumane is Asahi's last name. It's custom in Japan to call one another by their last name + honorifics (-san, -kun etc). First names are used between friends, family members etc.

Your explanation of the setters was so cool and it comes back. Kagayama has to adjust when they get to play in a massive gym that has more sound and echo

Coach everything that you said in this reaction is further explained in the rest of the seasons nice reactions

Fun fact: Hinata is the oldest among the first-years and Kageyama is the youngest. I'm glad I've been following your reaction on Haikyuu!! Your reaction is so insightful. It makes me realize how realistic and relatable Haikyuu is to real life volleyball games..

Really appreciate the addition of plays and photos when you give extra information or tell stories that relate to a certain point. I know how time consuming it is to look those things up. I enjoy watching these reactions very much. Great way to reminisce over Haikyuu

i think that the reason coach ukai says "how cruel" when he learns that hinata and kageyama have just become friends is because of how strong their trust is. despite only playing together for a few weeks, hinata has his full trust in kageyama, and kageyama knows exactly how hinata works. when you consider how much they will grow and evolve throughout the next few years, their potential is a duo is so overwhelmingly powerful that it's cruel to the other teams they will play against.

They are not friends, they can just rely really good on each other. Same as Kuroko no Basuke with Kuroko and Kagami: Kuroko: I'll help you to become the best player in Japan. Kageyama: As long you have me you'll be inivincible.

"How cruel" was about the fact that Kageyama was clearly going to straight up replace the starting setter who had been training with this team for years, just by practicing with a hitter for a couple of weeks. It's cruel how the person who harnessed experience, reliability and trust gets immediately benched by someone who only now showed up with their natural talents and inclinations. Expected and makes total sense, but still cruel.

This actually reminds me of Naruto and Sasuke's first combined attack against the 10-tails. 2nd Hokage said that it was a combination that was difficult to pull off even for seasoned veterans. That's how I see the "freak quick attack". It's cruel to seasoned veterans who will never be able to pull it off, because Hinata and Kageyama make it look so easy.

Love ur reactions so much, am rewatching it with you and now iam seeing things i never saw while i was watching it. Love your comments on everything. Keep it up

This is my favorite reactions to Haikyuu! Coach Danny is so funny and I love when he explains with so much details the movement he sees and shares with us his own experiences.

Im actually super happy bc Coach Donny sees how much Takeda has sacrificed just for the club, he was the one who didnt mind getting embarrassed, he was the one who would beg just for a coach or a practice match, he loved those boys so much he would do sacrifice his whole life for them

I definitely want to see your reactions to the latest episode releases!! This is the closses I can get to volleyball right now because of covid 19, hope to play again after this year. Thanks love your reactions!!

Thank you for the vid coach, this reaction videos are extremely helpful! I've learnt so much, not only about volleyball but also about life while watching this videos. I'd like to get better at my serve (without jump) so i was wondering if you have a video teaching us that

I LOVE playing against stronger teams! It makes me feel like I up my own game. Especially true when I'm playing co-ed. It's so satisfying to be able to put up a block against 6'6 guys when I'm a 5'10 girl XD Also, Kageyama and communication. 😏 for those who have watched the earlier episodes for the newest season.

Season 4 part 2 is ongoing right now and I would always imagine how would Coach Donny react to these episodes 🥺 i am so ready for his furture reactions!!! HAHAHAHAH

The connection between Kageyama and Hinata can seem magical and close to impossible, but it should be noted that Kageyama has the talent of a legitimate world-class setter. He is probably the single most talented player in the series.

" Like a ninja " I think he just spoiler himself :))

Great video coach! Anyone else loving that Hinata wallpaper at the end..
