Kita is one of those characters that the author themselves actually didn't expect to become as important and impactful as he did. His presence, especially considering the relatively little amount of screen time, is incredible, and he's definitely become one of my role models - basically, I am trying to live a life in a way that would not disappoint Kita Shinsuke :"D

@@ElevateYourselfOfficial gotta understand that japanese manga is serialized weekly and most of the authors only has an outline of the story. they often create characters on a whim and let them develop as the story progresses since they dont know if they will still be serialized after a few weeks. a popular example of this is Oda's One Piece, the best selling manga of all time that just surpassed 500 Million copies sold. He created 7 characters over night to spice up the story that became so interesting it ended up derailing his manga by atleast 10 years. still, those were some great characters. manga publishers in japan has serialization meetings about 4 times a year to determine which series to cancel and which new ones to publish. its a harsh world. so authors always has to comeup with something interesting week by week to keep the readers interested. 16-19 pages a week is no joke lol

Hey coach! You said you wanted to see the story behind Shinsuke becoming captain. That backstory was the moment. He worked his rituals and routines, year after year, and like his grandma said “someone is always watching.” The coach was watching him the whole time and then it skipped to the senior year team assignment. He was chosen as No. 1 the captain, that’s why he broke down in tears.

About Tsukki the Weirdo Quick Killer: "weirdo quick" (or "freak quick") is the unofficial name Karasuno uses for Hinata's and Kageyama's insanely quick combination. It actually started with Tsukki calling it a "freak set and spike" during the very first scrimmage against Aobajousai, and then Ukai also asked whether Hinata and Kageyama are "freaks" when he first saw them do the combo with Hinata's eyes still closed x) Very vague but still !!!spoiler-ish!!! thoughts ahead, so beware: the Coach talking about developing a culture where any player (including bench players) feels like they can contribute to the team's success while pausing on an exchange between Kinoshita and Nishinoya feels so satisfying~~~

Up until his 3rd Year he isn't even part of the main team, more like a bench and didn't even get a single uniform up to that point. His grandma saying just do your best all the time someone's always watching. And we see the Inarizaki's coach observing him throughout the episode and finally given a jersey not only any jersey that prove he can now play on official matches but the #1 which means he will lead the team from now on.

This episode is hands down my absolute favourite of this season! I admire Kita so much. With his 18 years, he‘s already such a wise and mature character. “The results are only the byproduct of the process.“ This is such a great life lesson which we should all keep in mind. I wish someone would‘ve told me this when I was a child or in my teenage years. Especially me who grew up in a strict Asian household where, especially in academics, only results mattered. I‘ve often been pressured in achieving the best results. It’s sad that I learned such an impactful wisdom from a 2d Anime character instead from real life people. Kita is truly an awesome and inspiring character and his philosophy was really mind changing! He inspired me to do even the smallest tasks with integrity because in the end, they matter.

@williamjamesmoriarty9628

I atrive to be like him too.

Without spoiling anything, Coach I'd recommend paying careful attention to how Rintaro and Aran talk about the mechanics of the game. Rintaro's assessment of Tsukki up to now is that Tsukki is basically scared. Most middle blockers would react to a hitter like Rintaro by adjusting the block and trying to go for those lower angles the way you were saying Kageyama did with blocking Aran. But Tsukki keeps doing the same thing, going up straight, and giving Rintaro an "easy" block to get around. So at the end, he's saying that compared to Tsukki, Kageyama is a much "scarier" block, a block that Rintaro and others have to respect because it can kill if you're not careful. But as we know with Tsukki, thanks to his mentor Kuroo, the best block is the block that laughs last. I'll say to keep following that dichotomy going into the rest of the series.

23:55 the name Inarizaki has "Inari" in it which is the name of a japanese god and foxes are his messengers so they are often referred to as "Inari" as well. Most of the schools have animal names: Karasuno - Raven (Karasu), Nekoma - Cat (Neko), Fukurodani - Owls (Fukurou), Shiratorizawa - Eagle (Shira - white, tori - bird)

To be completely honest, I usually skip the "this video is sponsored by *insert ad here*" part of any YT video. But Coach's half time ad is so enjoyable I cannot begin to explain it.

Kita wasn't selected to play for years. He trained and trained methodically, tirelessly for years without ever even getting kit. So when he finally built himself to the point where he wasn't passed over anymore, it hit him really hard.

Suga + Daichi = Kita is what we all love about him, and Aran is his Asahi. I swear, when coach gave that pause when seeing the grocery bag, it looked like he was about to cry. I certainly did when I first read that panel.

18:06 if you notice throughout the anime, almost all the captains wear the number 1 on their jersey (Daichi, Kuroo, Oikawa, Ushijima, Kita). The only ones to my knowledge who don’t are Futakuchi (Date Tech captain), who wears the number 2 and Bokuto, who wears the number 4.

Not that it's very important, but Aone is a second-year. Your overall point is still good though.

I love Rintarou's comment at the end: "a block that's not scary isn't actually a block", indicating that he finds stuff blocks the only type of block worth caring about. He finds Kageyama's stuff block more challenging than Tsukki's soft blocks, which can say a lot about Rintarou's mindset.

I think it speaks volumes that Inarizaki was even willing to sub out their ace (literally one of the top 5 aces in Japan at this time) to shore up their defensive backbone, both on the court and in the minds of the players. Kita is such an amazing chaeacter

"Switching Aran w/ Kita" A common tactic in volleyball, especially if your best spiker is being targeted is to sub them out even if your team will drag the game into 3 sets. It is better to rest him for the final set. Plus putting Kita (captain) in makes it certain that the rest of Inarizaki won't slack off so its two bird with one stone

I absolutely adore Kita to bits. Like ..an instant favourite for me. It's amazing that i can love these characters we've been with so much but Kita comes out of nowhere and just blows me away.

Hey Coach! The fox in the intermission references not only Inarizaki's mascot, but also its role in Shintoism. Foxes, or kitsunes, are messengers/representations of the Shinto kami/goddess, Inari, goddess of rice, harvest, agriculture, fertility etc. They are treated with an air of mysticism and are described to be highly intelligent and have paranormal powers. Its symbolism has since expanded in modern times to things like business and money too. They can be seen at shrines dedicated to them. I might be wrong about this, but I also feel like Shinsuke Kita's Grandma's superstition stems from Shinto beliefs. In Shintoism, Japan's unique religion, there is life in every form of matter, whether it be actually living or a pebble in the river. As such, there is a god for essentially any object in this world, which is why she says "the gods are always watching." Although Shinsuke had long outgrown such superstition, it definitely had a profound impact on how he conducts himself, as if someone was always watching him. The reason I mention this is because at 20:35, Shinsuke's line, "I'm watching all of you" essentially shows how he has now become the god that watches his team. It's some awesome symbolism, especially since in the first episode of this match, when Inarizaki and Karasuno were posing in symbolic backdrops, Inarizaki stood on some steps in front of a torii, which is a gate usually seen in front of a Shinto shrine. Karasuno stood lower on the steps, framed in darkness, as if they were some new, intruding beasts of the night.

Kita is my inspiration for real I struggle so hard with routine and his methodical life is just amazing. "Why are you nervous? It's just as you practiced"

He got his Uniform and the title of Captain in his third year of high school :)

If you liked this episode just wait until the next few as they are when all of the story build up over the season comes together as well as several VERY hype moments.

i really love that part where a volleyball player was nerding about volleyball to the girl she was with, I think its cool to have someone we can talk about things that we love.

So little clarification since you seemed confused but Kita is in fact the captain. His jersey has the captain bar under the 1 on the front but I don’t think it has it on the back as far as I could see and there were also several zoomed in shots where the bar was cut off so I can understand the confusion. I’m not a manga reader so I can’t say for any future opponents but I think every team other than Fukurodani (and maybe a minor team they played during qualifiers where maybe it was number 2 but I don’t remember) has the captain as number 1.

Honestly, Kita is one of my top 5 characters in all of haikyuu

@eikichionizuka9422

2 жыл бұрын

He honestly could be in everyone's top 5. He is that one character you can't help but respect and feel for. Plus he speaks a lot of facts. That scene when he got his jersey and let the tears flow, that was everything... I also got him in my top 5 along with Daichi, Tsukki, Tendou and Tanaka.

The parallel between Kita and Daichi is very nice. Daichi, even though he's the support of the team, is constantly pushing it, both his team and himself. Kita is all about that reliability. both are valid, but its interesting.

One of my fav aspects of haikyuu!! (though it’s very hard to choose!) is how it portrays different but realistic leadership styles with each of the captains of its teams. Almost all of the focused on teams has a different style, and it just really impresses me that Furudate (the writer of the manga) managed to depict so many recognizable and engaging leadership dynamics. I think it really shows that not all good leaders look the same, and maybe encourages people to look at themselves and decide which leadership type they can fit to their own personality.

They didn't really try to switch Tanaka to blocking in the middle, it was just the way it had to be with Hinata(The middle blocker)committed to blocking Osamu Miya. With Hinata occupied, someone had to block the middle and that happened to be Tanaka.

coach, you can distinguish which dialogue are just thoughts and which are being spoken by their font style, texts in italic are thoughts regular texts are speech. the follow im gonna say im not that sure (correct me if im wrong guys thanks) since i dont watch that much anime anymore but if there are subtitles both above and below the screen, the texts above are usually less important than the ones below, most of the time they are just announcers and stuff.

Hey coach jst wanted to let u knw abt the season 4 flying birds. They're actually the players U usually see hinata and kageyama And the FOXES are ATSUMU and OSAMU as they belong to the team INARIZAKI where inari means fox. The CATS were KUROO and KENMA and the flying owls were BOKUTO and his setter AKAASHI

Pertaining to your final comments on the episode: I feel like the story tellers are perfect at truly having the push and pull of hope and dread. It magnetizes the story to your emotions by making everything feel earned. I feel as tho any issue that had a payoff felt as such and it makes you get into it so much more and keeps you watching. The building blocks of each character and team were so thought out and really makes you happy when you watch through it! Love your reactions coach!!

kita is such a well made character. He's one of my favorites

all matches that are 3 sets, even in tournaments, are 25 points. It's only in the championship games where they go to 5 and the final set is 15. High school games, even in tournaments are 3 sets, 25 points each set. They do switch sides in the 3rd set, as it is the final one.

Animal representations during the halftime: Setters & their hitters: Crows- Kageyama/Hinata Foxes- Osamu/Atsumu Cats- Kuroo/Kenma Owls- Akaashi/Bokuto 🏐😉

Just for reference, at least in the anime and i don't know if it actually works like that in Japan in general, the lower the number on the jersey, the older the player. And most captains are one of the oldest players in their team so they're given the #1 jersey, also having the underline below the number. In the case of Karasuno: #1-3: Third years #4-8: Second years #9-12: First years

In anime you will often see a pair of siblings referring to the Gin (silver) and Kin (gold) twins. They were Japan's oldest living identical twins living for 107 yrs. They were considered national treasures due to how long they lived compared to the average lifespan for people in Japan. Another thing to note is that Inari is a reference to the god of agriculture. The god is usually associated/seen with a kitsune (fox).

23:50 Inari is the name of a Japanese god closely associated with foxes 24:15 Rintaro(Suna) is annoyed that Tsukki seemingly doesn't put any effort once he jumped for the block Usually a blocker would try to at least move their arms last second or move into the block to stop the spiker, which Tsukki doesn't do I think he (Rintaro) finds it vexing that despite Tsukki having shown that he is a good blocker he seems to have given up stopping his spikes already - it's no fun/you get no satisfaction if you don't get a challenge from the block like that time with Hinata in season1 I think when Karasuno played against Johzenji(the party team in yellow with the manager that kept them in check) Instead of trying to block Hinata's quick they decided to not block him and receive his spikes instead Hinata then grumbled that he hates being blocked but getting completely ignored was even more annoying 38:10 Dateko and Inarizaki are from completely different prefectures so Rintaro probably has never played against Dateko's Iron Wall They'd only meet on a national tournament level or during a skirmish/practice match (which aint too probable given distance I'd say)

Kita is such an impactful character that many people can learn from within volleyball or outside. I don’t even know if the mangaka expected how much of a fan favorite kita is, but moments like these are what makes haikyuu so special compared to other sports anime

I find his consistency and work ethic to be very inspiring and applicable to real life. It’s comforting to know that every action you take means something, no matter how small or repetitive it is.

Good stuff right there.

Suguru and his date are one of my favourite parts of this great episode. I love how he nerds out on volleyball and thinks he's boring her, then she asks more questions. Reminds me of the times I nerd out with my girlfriend.

shoutout to the editor on this video - the pacing on the mid-ad was awesome where you get those couple seconds of seeing Coach nom while the audio keeps on moving

A Volleyball team that wears mostly black, with a Japanese Youth Team level Setter who excels at serving, a shorter-than-usual middle blocker that has an unusual Quick, a tall middle blocker that specializes in defense, an Ace that can get on a roll and smash through blocks, a Team Captain that's great at receives and calming his team down, and a duo that argue with each other a lot. There's a lot of similarities between Karasuno and Inarizaki, and I think Furudate specifically had Karasuno wear their alternate uniforms to reinforce the idea that Inarizaki is a more advanced version of Karasuno.

Congrats on 500K subscribers! Well deserved.

You're spot on coach! Suna is used to other players just trying to straight for the kill block against me and he is getting annoyed that Tsukki isn't gong for the direct approach.

When Atsumu is about to begin his serve, he indicates to the school band to be quiet. It reminds me of the difference of what Oikawa (K-pop) does when he serves. The Aoba Josai cheer squad says "Ole!"

the underlined number to indicate the captain is only on the front number. That's not something I spotted until I asked myself the question, are the underlines on front and/or back. Took awhile to spot places where I could determine the answer.

Kita's conversation with Aran about doing in games what you do in practice (trying to be more than you are) was originally aired during a time where I was trying to be more than I am with my writing (that is, absolutely perfect) to the point that it was causing me to doubt every single sentence I had written. Kita's words helped me. I won't say that I am completely over being a perfectionist, but Kita's words are simple, yet profound. Once I began to write just as I do in my day-to-day, I began to see a ton of progress with my Master's thesis. I made time later to do corrections as needed, but what came out of that situation was the realization that I am how I practice, and that's how I need to be when executing monumental tasks. As my Literary Theory professor once said to me, "The word 'perfect' originally meant 'to be complete,' so if you complete your work, then it's perfect."

About Aone not being in the visual where Rintaro is thinking at the most powerfull blocker: The reason why Aone is not there is because actually Date Tech never went to the nationals, and since inarizaki and date tech are from different regions of japan, they never fought against each other.

Rintaro is gonna learn first hand just how scary can an efficient algorithm be lol

We're so close to the end of the season! Im so excited to see coaches reactions but so sad that we're gonna be out of Haikyu for a while!

i absolutly agree with comparing kita to suga+daichi, but it's done in such an adorable method, that it makes kita feel like he been part of the entire show to me, i love him so much

Mommy Suga + Daddy Daichi = Good boi Kita 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I can't nice one...

another post-season 4 video idea: recreate haikyuu's best plays with real life volleyball practices.

dang when i saw kita cry over being picked, I KNOW THAT FEELING I ACTUALLY TEARED UP T_T

I just wanted to let you know coach, towards the end of episode 23 Kita makes a great little speech so you might want to just listen to it all the way through before you make any comments (don’t be afraid to go back and rewatch it 😊)

definitely agree!

Kita became my favorite Haikyuu character after watching this season so i was really looking forward to ur reactions. I really love his impactful words and moments. In fact, i liked seeing people talking abt how kita's words impact their lifestyle, really showing how even a character like him can make a difference in people's lives.

I mentioned it in a previous video, but the halftime scene of the foxes have the Miya twins haircuts (Atsumu and Osamu) and the owls are actually fat crows and have the haircuts of Kageyama and Hinata (only Kageyama in this episode)

I love Miya Atsumu too much. Sure he was a meanie the first time you meet him. But he just grows on you soooo much

I have no love for Inarizaki's cheering section, but with a captain like Kita, that'd be a great team to be on.

damn… i never thought of that… daichi and suga equals kita… that is so good analogy…

I just came back from volleyball game and start watching this episode ofc with a meal ready. This series is so good that it became my daily rutine.

Funny how coach says Kita looks like he could be Osamu's brother when Osamu has a twin brother on the team lol.

The reason why "Inarizaki" has a fox reference it's because "Inari" it's the goddess of fertility in the Shinto religion and she has fox harbingers/herald so her image is really tied to the fox image (that's why when Karasuno first encounter with Inarizaki the image was a Japanese temple), and not only that Inarizaki is a known clever, astute team like a fox. And as a side note "Nekoma" reference to cats is because "Neko" it's Cat in Japanese and "Karasuno" reference to crows it's 'cause "Karasu" it's Crow in Japanese.

Hey Coach! A nice way to know when the subtitles are either a character speaking or thinking, is when the text is in italics (sloping letters if I got this correctly, sorry if the term is wrong). They use italics when a character has a monologue.

the interaction between Asahi and Nishinoya where Asahi says he'll get it over regardless, is a parallel to what Nishinoya did for him. What gave Asahi the confidence to continue as an ace, is coming back to Nishinoya.

One of the most emotional moments of the season, this really made me like Kita :o

About the ending of the episode where Suna Rintaro says Kageyama is a scarier blocker than Tsukki. He's basically saying that a blocker that isn't getting block after block isn't scary(Tsukki has like 2 kill blocks so far in the match). That's why he emphasises that Kageyama is a scarier blocker coz Kageyama just got a kill block alone. The next episodes will definitely focus on this point so just wanted Coach to know that this conversation was kinda important.

Everytime I do something good and properly I'll be like, Kita will be proud of me. If I want to break a routine or do something reckless, I'm reminded of Kita's existence too. Somehow my first thought was hin. He's just a 2D character, a simple, quiet, side character, but the simplicity is so impactful in your daily life.

OMGEONSIFJSJ ITS BEEN 82 YEARS AND WE'RE FINALLY HEREEEEEEE I COUDLNT WAIT UNTIL U REACT TO THIS EP, COACH!! when i saw the thumbnail on my home page right after i opened my laptop and chrome at 5 am i clicked faSTER THAN SPEED!!

Can't wait to see your reaction to Atsumu's "Stunt" in the next ep.. And keep up the good work coach.

HERE WE GOOOOOOO!!!! I just know your going to love the rest of this season from here on out. The character growth on both teams is massive in the upcoming EPs.

I really like this episode from the development of kita and Noya, but there is something that everyone just forgets. Asahi stopped playing in the start of the serie because he hasn't trust in himself, he don't liked that pressure of being the last resource of the team, and seeing him saying "even if it's not an A pass i will make it through" just makes me think how much has he evolved, not just as a player but as a person too. In my opinion that is a great example of how sports make us change and evolve.

Loving the early episodes coach ! Patreon hype also congrats on 500k Subs ! 🥳

Suna actually just wants people to drop their hand while blocking him, because he is confident in himself to read the opponent and then hit the other way again, aka to not stretch to the left this time. He is actually annoyed that Tsukishima has not tried to do that yet.

i did not expect kita to mean so much to me when he got introduced, but he is just such an inspiration and a comfort to me and to his team! while he might not have the insane strategies or power like other players, he is an all-around great player and leader and he always takes care of the people around him. i wish i could hug him sometimes and tell him it's okay to sometimes pause and rest

Shinsuke reminds me so much of the german philosopher Immanuel Kant both have a very precise daily routine that they never depart from!

Kita is one of the fictional characters that I relate to the most
