It can be heard at the end of the episode. Very intense. Awesome reaction, Coach!

@JHen1440

In sports such as volleyball, basketball and American football where players who are starting are normally your best and position specific "tiring this player out" is a fantastic tactic. Usually moving the ball to their side to make it hard on them due to them constantly having to receive the ball, or making them have to block you (making them jump a lot to make that player have jelly legs). Although I do have to say when you're the player/team they are coming at and you make them regret that tactic, absolutely rewarding.

- Kuroo seemed intense in the flashback because Nekoma lost the previous match, he was frustrated, and that's why Kenma offered to go level-up (in volleyball) even though he probably wasn't all too enthusiastic about it x) - Chemical references: docosahexaenoic acid is a fatty acid essential for early brain development, and Kuroo claimed Yaku lacked it as an insult when they were 1st years, essentially saying that Yaku's dumb x) Astaxanthin is a red pigment, hence the reference to Nekoma's team color. Funnily enough, there's apparently some research into how both those compounds may help against oxidative stress and some toxic compounds in combination. - Fukunaga's pun: A-pass (meaning a great pass to the setter) sounds almost like "aeh-pass" (ええパス), which is a way to say "good pass" too x) (usually it's "ii" instead of "aeh", but the second works too).

About Kenma's motivations - I think one of the most captivating things about Haikyuu is how i goes to show that you can actually get those life-changing experiences [from volleyball in this case] with a variety of attitudes, even if you, much like Kenma, aren't 100% into it. And it doesn't need to be something grand that you would only find in high-level sports - it could be something seemingly mundane, but it'd still leave a huge impression on you, potentially change something about you. What Haikyuu never shies away from is being very open-minded and straightforward about everyone's path in volleyball being different but very precious nonetheless. Can't say much more than that cause spoilers, but well, there's a lot of great stuff ahead, so do look forward to that!

32:29 Yamamoto’s first name, which is Tora, I feel is another subtle reference to his similarity with Tanaka and here’s why: So Tanaka’s first name is Ryuunosuke, which his sister often shortens to just Ryuu. In Japanese, Tora and Ryuu translate to tiger and dragon, respectively. In Japanese folklore, it is believed that the tiger and the dragon are the two strongest beings and are on equal footing with each other.

"Wanna go level up" was Kenma's way of asking Kuro he wants help with practice, after Kenma realized Kuro was frustrated at losing that match back in Grade School. The scientific trash talking was a reference back to when Kuro and Yaku first met and had nothing in common except Volleyball. Kuro would always bring up the scientific benefits to eating fish. It's unfortunate that Fukunaga's jokes are a lot of puns that don't translate, or have to do with the cultural fascination that Japan has with how they view various foreign things. Not exactly something that can be explained easily.

If you remember, Hinata made a certain promise to Kenma when they first met. To have a match so awesome that Kenma wouldn''t be able to say it was a boring or trivial match. I think between that promise and the practice matches and being genuine friends, Kenma really finds Hinata interesting as a volleyball rival.

13:35 Kuroo was sad/frustrated because they lost the match shown a couple seconds earlier 16:10 Suguru's not from the freestyle team (Johzenji), he's the Captain of Nohebi from Tokyo, they're basically Nekoma's rivals in tokyo and the team they beat to get to nationals. Him and Kuroo know each other well and share a personal rivalry, as noted when Kuroo called him out on being dumped by Mika at the time of their last match.

their hair complements eachother: Yamamoto has blonde in the middle with darker hair on the sides, while Kenma's is the opposite (blonde tips with darker roots in the middle). I think this is a very good visual representation of how although they might seem opposite, they were able to find a common ground, and just as a headcanon, I think it'd be very cute if they helped eachother dye their hair and shared the bleach sfhdh

You made the coach shocked

Love the Nekoma episodes coach, you're in for a treeeeeat. Just wanted to leave you with a small detail I don't think I've heard you mention just yet. As you know, Nekoma is symbolized by the cat, including Tora's name being tiger. But there's also their coach, who is meant to resemble the "Lucky Cat" figurines that many Japanese homes or stores will have around. His last name is actually Nekomata, which are a type of cat-like yokai, guiding spirits. So as you learn about Sarukawa's coach and their history, keep in mind these motifs of Nekoma's coach as this seemingly everlasting cat spirit, passing down his style and ideas to his students.

32:50 Honestly, I'm with Kenma here. I wouldn't want to call someone "Tora" either. It means "tiger" in Japanese. I get that it's part of his name, Taketora, but I still can't imagine calling someone "Hey, tiger" with a straight face.

In case no one told you yet, Kanoka, “Tanaka’s “girlfriend,” “really did get her heart broken” (as she stated in the last episode). Here’s the context to her statement. In a previous episode Tanaka said that his heart belonged to another woman (Shimizu) when he expected Kanoka to confess her feelings to him when they were walking in the city at night. In that last set we saw Tanaka not give in to his negative thoughts despite how much was stacked against him. As Kanoka watched she acknowledges Tanaka’s fighting spirit and willingness to never give up. She sees that Tanaka will never give up on pursuing the woman Tanaka has his heart set on. He makes that amazing shot at the end of the last episode and amazes everyone with his mental fortitude and fulfillment of his desires despite being denied and pushed down. Kanoka knows she doesn’t have a chance, because Tanaka already has his mind and his heart set on someone else. Everybody cheers at Tanaka’s perseverance and tenacity, but for Kanoka it really is heart breaking! 😭

I remember in high school, my team, school, and coaches were very toxic. I loved volleyball and was pretty good, and I remember wanting to continue to play in college too, but I ended up quitting. It wasn’t fun anymore, and the more I went the more I hated playing and even practicing. It was like having your favorite food cooked to perfection in front of you but being unable to smell or taste it. I haven’t played since because I’d get upset even thinking about it but watching haikyuu has really brought back my love and joy of it and now all I wanna do is play! It sucks because I don’t know where I could play or even people that have leagues around, so I’m just stuck in this place of wishing I never quit but happy I did because I’d probably wouldn’t have matured and grown to appreciate it even more.

I feel this is going to sound whiny from me, but I have had a similar experience. Sports were not appreciated as a goal to pursue not only in my family, but also the school I went to. The trainer was someone who said I should not play as I am not good enough. I took it very harshly back then, and today I am too grown up to enjoy what I could have during school. But, Haikyuu brings that amazing feeling back. And the hope that I could still try and have more fun :)

the thing i like the most about Kenma is that even though he is physically pretty weak, he never gives up. even if he finishes 2 laps behind everyone else, or if he's lifting way less than everyone else, he still puts in the effort to finish his reps!

At 6:22, coach, that is a heater. I assume it is a fan-type heater since the kerosene-type ones, which are still used in households across Japan, are dangerous and cause lots of fires and death incidents.

Also kinda awkward because he's going on about the number of greys when I'm 90% sure its a photo with a cutout filter or similar. using and editing photographs is a very common technique in anime backgrounds.

I love complicated jokes and puns, so i'm a little biased but I love Fukanaga's jokes. they're so stupid but very clever, and I just feel like I have to laugh bc of his inflection and facial expression. they're real thinkers, and it makes me feel better that other characters hardly ever get what he's joking about. most of it is translation/cultural error however lol. so we're not gonna fully understand the joke. Also, if it helps, Nekoma flashbacks are a bit easier to catch bc both the Tanaka clone and Kenma dyed their hair in their second year I believe. so whenever you see em with black hair, it's their first year or earlier.

I love the dynamic between Yamamoto and Kenma. Reminds me of my time in highschool playing volleyball. I was a very opinionated spiker and would always comment on what spikers should have done if we got dug or blocked, and most would accept it readily, but our star player, who won MVP at the national level 3 times in a row, was the type to also hold me accountable. He would often say things like, "sure, i made a mistake, but you could've done this instead". It was the constant keeping each other in check that made us champions 3 years straight.

The guy commenting the games with his girlfriend is the captain from nohebi, the snake team that tried cheating to win in the OVA, the team nekoma had to defeat to go to this tournament. It's said he had broken up with his girlfriend because he was focusing too much on volleyball, but they went back together when she saw him playing and saw how much dedication he put on and how happy it made him

I don't know if the couch will see this but just to clarify the flashbacks where Kuroo is talking to Yaku (the Nekoma's third years) are from the Haikyuu Ova Land vs Air when they defeated Nohebi's team. Also, the guy who's talking with his girlfriend (those who add a new and experienced perspectived at the same time) isn't from the Free style team like the coach said but is the captain from the Nohebi's team

Because of Tora and Kenma's fight and that instance with the guy running at them with a bucket of water, I now imagine every Nekoma's practice there is a bucket of water present just in case a fight breaks out. lol

The fans want to see Coach Donny Haikyuu Dream team by the end of this Season !! Like if you agree

I'm pretty sure the rice cake is ume (梅) flavour - 'Japanese' plum ( although it's really more an apricot), kind of bitter, and often salted, as umeboshi. Delicious, especially in onigiri - if you see an onigiri in an anime with a big red circle in the middle that''ll be umeboshi.

Just wanted to say have been waiting for your reaction for these two episodes with Nekoma ever since you started this series and I'm so glad it's here!! As a non-sporty introverted person who relates so much with Kenma, it's so interesting to see his growth as an athlete and team player in this show. Thank you again so much coach for giving us your insights and honest reactions!

Umai!!!!! Rengoku-San!!! And another A.S.M.R Sugoiii James-San ✌️

I remember when Coach said he wanted to see a person who lifts and here we are. And I believed coach also mentioned that he wants to see 2 different training style (I totally forgot). Nonetheless I'm happy he sees this

kenma and Yamamoto is same age, that's why they interact in training more than others While kenma and kuro is neighbour, so they play together since childhood Kuro older than kenma, he is the one who bring volleyball into kenma live, because kuro really love volleyball. He ask kenma to join the club too

Kenma is a second year in the normal time line. You can differantiate the time line by his hair color. In the falshbacks he has dark hair and today he has yellow. Also Little Kuro's face was like that because the scene before that shows that the Nekoma middle scholl has just lost a game.

Yamamoto’s squatting technique got better between the first and second clips. That’s such a good detail. First, he looked like he had never squatted before. The second clip, he was going to depth, pausing there, and had a faster concentric than eccentric.

This Arc is one of my favorites in Haikyu! I love the relationship between Kenma and Tora and how at the end of the episode they basically motivate themselves to have each other's back. Tora getting all the difficult receives for him and Kenma setting as perfectly as he can to Tora and guiding on what he needs to do. Love the bonds of this team!!! Thank you for reacting!!!

This is honestly one of my favorite episodes because as someone who enjoys gaming and struggles with exercising on a regular basis I can relate to Kenma so much. We both share a drive to win, but we don't always want to put in the work... It's amazing to see a character in a sports anime that can represent those of us who sometimes struggle to give our all, but still have the drive to win.

Have been waiting for this. Wanted coach to watch this defensive game. Watching 2 teams excel at receives so well is really amazing

Omg the thumbnail is so good Whoever did it is doing a wonderful job

The edit at 26:59 is absolute gold. Well done editor lmao

I do think well-written shows won’t spoonfeed you certain things. Like immediately when Coach says “they do flashbacks without telling you when”, the show shows us Kenma before he dyed his hair and also someone saying to him “Keep up, first year”. And if you’ve keep track, you’d know Kenma is currently second-year and so the flashback is roughly the year before. So no need for obvious “One year ago”

Sarukawa (Saru) - Monkey Nohebi (Hebi) - Snake Nezumi - Mouse Nekoma (Neko) - cat Karasuno (karasu) - crow Tora - tiger

The way kenma "try" to cheer up Yamamoto is way too logical. I know that logical mind comes from the video games that he play, but he dealing with a person not a robot or something from games. 😀

James, you are a cool editor! The part where Donny makes Kenma with his hair on, it was hilarious. X'D Really like what you're doing with the videos.

The guy who is giving the outside perspective is the captain of the team that Nekoma had to beat in the OVA “The path of the ball” in order to make it to the tournament. Also competing in my first tournament that I’m playing because I like competing for myself and my friends.

i always like your new editor but this episode was top notch editing plus your impersonation of kenma and tora HAHHAA

Fukunaga's untranslateable jokes are the best lol and the water bucket is very very effective. He's my favorite Nekoma character cause even though he doesn't get spotlighted often, he's the kind of player that is consistent and get the job done, all while entertaining us audience. A lot of times he hits amazing hits here and there but it kinda gets unnoticed so it feels rewarding to watch him closely.

15:42 This is why I love watching a coach’s perspective on these plays. He knows the sport enough to know what strategy a team is using just based on vague dialogue. Keep up the good work!

Coach the Karasuno vs Inarizaki match hasn't ended yet. This whole half of season 4 is specifically about the Karasuno vs Inarizaki match. Hope that clears things up.

Has anyone explained to Coach that the little animals at the halfway mark are symbolic to teams and characters??

Would love to see you react to Run with the Wind after catching up with Haikyu!!. It’s another great sports anime with a amazing story and animation.

Hey coach, nice react as usual! I just want to encourage you to pause for some comments about the story just like you do for comments about illustration, cause if you don't you may not catch some nice things about the story

About the computer: sometimes in anime they will take pictures of normal everyday items and induce some artifact/filter in order to make it fit somewhat into the style. That way they don't have to illustrate mundane items while still being able to add texture to a scene. You can tell in the image that you highlighted that it doesn't appear to match to the environment that it's been placed in as far as shadowing and lighting goes, but it's not quite obtrusive enough to distract anyone.

mr. editor is doing such a great job. the edits are so funny HAHAHHA

I’m sure someone has told Coach this before but basically the premise of Haikyuu!!! Is that having rivalries is important for improvement 👍🏻 That’s why you will continuously see flashbacks that will focus on two individual athletes throughout the whole series.

Portuguese curiosity: “Guts” is translated to “Garra” (pronunciation: “ga” like Lady Gaga and “ha” like hahaha. Ga ha), which happens to be the same word for “Claw”, so it’s cool that they chose this word for translation, since cats have claws, which makes Nekoma a team literally full of garra

I had more than one moment of that type, but every time I get a really good run, an amazing goal or an amazing last moment defense I feel like I need MORE of that and continue playing.

Amazing reaction sir! 👍🔥

27:50 i can relate this statement on such a personal level my high school team didn't have anyone who called people out so there was a lot of passive-aggressiveness going on on the team

4:19 That guy with his girl is a player from Nohebi, the team Nekoma beat in the prelims (OVA 2). They are the sneaky team who cheats a lot by blocking the ref's view from the line and calling it out even tho it's in.

ahhhh I've been waiting!

Hi, coach. This is my first time commenting on your video. At 18:25, you asked about what the plastic package said, and although you might've already know since you ate it, I will tell you. If I'm not mistaken, from the very top (vertical writing) is 味しらべ which can mean "Taste-searching", and then there's the huge kanji, said 梅 with the little 味 below, it means Plum flavor (hence the sourness). At the bottom with the circle around it, on the right side, written 日本のお米100%使用 which means the crackers were made 100% using Japanese rice → rice crackers. Lastly at the very bottom, written だからおいしい meaning "that's why it's delicious". It's nothing much, but hope this helps! LOVE your Haikyuu reactions 🙏🏻

Hey coach. Just to reassure you about us appreciating your all or nothing aspect. I enjoyed Haikyuu as a first time watcher, but have grown so much more an appreciation for it after getting all of the insight from your knowledge. It is so cool to hear about the accuracy in volleyball references and get input on drawings and animation. Please keep all that information and your opinions flowing, because it is the gold that I love.

Since Coach loves good animation, I'd like to see him react to Demon Slayer, even if it's a single episode (if you know the show, you know what episode I'm talking about). Ufotable Studio is just in another level of quality.

I was so damn hyped about this episode because I loooove the Nekoma arch! It's gonna be intense!!

Thanks for the reaction

Its not explicitly stated but I think its implied that Kenma decided to die his hair the same Blonde as Tora as a show of Camaraderie and their friendship. When they cut from them fighting over the first name thing they put a lot of emphasis on the change in Kenmas hair and how it was the same Blonde as Tora now (Which I had never actually noticed till then, Only 2 with dyed hair and its the same color)

It's actually a lot more funny than that. Tora got scared of Kenma because he looked like Sadako (the girl in The Ring) and he thought it made him stand out, so he dyed it blonde...but that made him stand out more so he is just letting it grow out

The thumbnail got me. Mr. Freeze says to chill.

Neko from Nekoma is cat and Saru from Sarukawa is monkey so cats 🐈 vs monkeys 🐒

I like that Kenma and Kunimi (from Seijoh/Aoba Johsai) has the same introversion and play style. Too bad Kunimi gets hate bec of his past with Kageyama. No one berates Kenma for not going after every ball, for not staying after practice while Kunimi gets hate for it.

Always funny to me to see Kunimi / Kindaichi / Oikawa hate when it comes to their past with Kageyama when Kageyama himself acknowledges he was in the wrong and holds no animosity towards them 😂

I actually thought that the sofa and computer were real images passed through some filter to seem a bit anime-like because of how good they looked
