Anime's most inspiring philosophy (Shinsuke Kita)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 15 чер 2024
- There's plenty of "motivational" or "inspirational" anime characters out there. There's a few I would genuinely credit with changing my life. However many of those, had huge amounts of screentime - or at the very least a good few episodes. But Shinsuke Kita, has barely more than an episode.
Of all of Haikyuu's quotes, perhaps my favourite is "You do it every day. You take care of your body. You tidy your environment. You practice gratitude. And you practice". Shinsuke's arrival is one of the most pivotal moments for Haikyuu, that took everything that the events of the previous matches, in particular Karasuno vs Aoba Johsai, and turned it into something even more beautiful.
Karasuno vs Inarizaki is one of the most intense arcs I've ever seen, from moments such as Hinata's receive, Tanaka's spike and even "Let's take it easy", it's packed full of some of my favourite moments in anime.

A life changing quote from Kita is about getting nervous before a game, and he basically says that guys feel nervous because in their hearts they want to do beyond their current capabilities and that's just ridiculous.
For me is okay to want more, but do all the worrying and wanting afterwards.
Yes!! He says the only reason people need to get nervous is if they are trying to do better then their current capabilities. I always remind myself of this before comps in my sport. If you can do it in practice you can do it in competition
what episode did he mention this
@@lolicon.8711 What I said isn't an exact quote, and I don't remember the episode number, but I believe it was not long after Kita's debut during the game.
@@schris3 okay thankyou! have a nice day
@@lolicon.8711 Episode: 20 (Season 4)
"I am built upon the small things I do every day, the end results are not more than a byproduct of that" - Shinsuke Kita, this is one of my absolute favorite
The embodiment of 'Kaizen' - The Japanese philosophy of consistent, daily improvement.
We love Kita. I remember constantly rewinding his backstory because you could never get enough of him and His quiet confidence. One of the best parts of haikyuu is how you subtly root for the other teams as well because of how nuanced the characters are
I don't think I've ever seen anything that makes me cry as readily as Kita receiving his jersey. And, I have no idea why. Masterful character.
YES
The best leader is a hero. My favorite hero is an everyman, someone humble, modest, unremarkable on the surface. The only reason this pedestrian is at all notable is due to their strong will and work ethic. Despite their new-found talent and reputation they don't lose themselves. They are the definition of progressive growth, "little by little". To me this is the pure essence of Shonen... Now, whether or not Shonen lives up to this ideal is a whole other can of worms. At the very least it is the ideal most Shonen approach, and the ideal Shinsuke Kita has achieved.
I love people who genuinely and even excessively understands their limitations and still chooses to go above and beyond, not for himself but for those who he cares about. There’s something in it that makes me have hope in humans and of human will. I can’t put it into words, but if I had a chance to relive my life, I would like to be that person.
@@sockthief9138 For as long as we are alive we can still be that person. It's interesting how some people figure out their lives in their mid 40s. It seems like they wasted their youth and well they kinda did. But to make that change they couldn't dwell on it. Since they could never go back looking forward was the only way out. Same goes for us.
Himmel 🤜🤛 Kita
@@sergejg9627 Thank you for mentioning Himmel the Hero. He's one of the most life-changing characters for me.
@@sockthief9138 As your first reply said, you can still be that person. As long as you've got that will, put in the work to implement those changes you want to make. It sounds like you already understand some of your limitations, so if there are people you want to be exceptional for, it's not too late.
Kita's weapon is his unwavering, exceptional competence. It's something that takes a long time to build up to, but is the fundamental building blocks of his character. It's what makes him so admirable, despite not having the crazy abilities of the Miwas or Kageyama, or Ushiwaka's physical advantages.
As someone always obsessed with the results, this video really changed my perspective of the work I do everyday.
For example guys: if you choose to study or exercise everyday, the results are just the side effects. What's more important is that your actions are showing your discipline and perseverance.
Yup. Just show up.
*YOU DO IT RIGHT.*
*AND YOU DO IT EVERYDAY.*
*YOU TAKE CARE OF YOUR BODY.*
*YOU TIDY UP AFTER YOURSELF*
*FOLLOW CUSTOMS*
*AND PRACTICE VOLLEYBALL!*
*REPETITION.* *CONSISTENCY.* *CARE.*
*DOING STUFF "RIGHT" JUST FEELS GOOD.*
Kita's lessons are so important. And I think about similar everytime someone responds to an artist online with "I wish I could draw like that! You're so talented!" and they mean it as praise but it reads as so dismissive. Like, that person probably does have talent. But they've also probably been drawing for thousands of hours, over years of their life. One of the best things that ever happened for my mentality was the day I realized that I didn't want to "learn to draw" I wanted to "know how to draw." My brain wasn't interested in doing the work. Therefore it wasn't a path I could take because I wasn't willing to put in that work. And so whenever I think about it, or see a nice drawing that makes me wish I could do the same, I ask myself the same question "Do you want to learn to do that? Or is this just thinking it'd be nice to have already done that work?"
Also important for everything else in life to. Do you want to learn to do that thing? Or do you just wish it was something you'd already done? It can sound depressing at first denying those things. But it also helps find the things where you brain goes "Yeah, I don't care if we suck at this. I want to do it and do it again until I can do something like this!"
This video came to me and hit me like a truck. I’ve been pretty anxious lately because I’ve wanted to do so much academically as I have started taking this route seriously. I realize now that a lot of the things I was looking at wanting to do a lot of the times I just wished that I already have done the work so I could move on to the next thing and essentially was in a perpetual cycle of anxiety because I wasn’t performing to my expectations. Something that I must learn is gratitude and focusing on the process, and every single day at a time. this will yield results over time on its own.
You’ve verbalized what I have been thinking and wrestling with for so long!
I always say: you can be predisposed to do something but this only helps with basics. After that - you are stuck with hard work like everybody else.
if you like this philosophy I urge you to watch blue period. It's now about volleyball and not about sport, but rather a boy that finds his passion in art and he starts seeing a fellow artist as a talented genius but not as an unattainable god
@@revanatictheplayer5120 Oh, Blue Period is great! But you are right, it's totally different to any sports anime.
This is very deep
Shinsuke is the personilisation of Atomic Habits 😂
Jezus dude i almost broke a tooth pronouncing that word
haikyuu really has such well written characters and storyline like it feels so much more than just a sports anime , it deserves all the popularity it has
Haikyuu feels like a holy book for life lessons. Never have i found a man-made story with THIS amount of rereading value. The more you re-read haikyuu, the better it gets, and the better person you become. 😩💖
I find kita's storyline a bit confusing but the philosophy of greatness being an acumulation of things you do daily, thus greatness is a habit; that's really true and something I try to live by
Kita really seems to embody inner peace and actual, fully realized self love. He is himself -content and confidently so. Really impressive writing and wonderful perspective. Just being secure in yourself can change so much about your own self perception and how it translates to your life as a whole
I don't want to say this changed my life after only a few days of watching it, but the 2 weeks after watching this video was the best weeks of my life. I really resonate with Kita's philosophy. He's now my role model. When doing everything, I always think something in the line of "What would Kita do?". Enjoy the process, the daily routine, do things right even the small things, and have confidence in yourself because you did enough. Thank you for this video
I love hearing comments from people who have really implemented what I've said, glad it's working out!
Watching this after my results for med school entrance exams came out. I didn't make it this year, even though I tried a lot. But on the day of exam I was not nervous. Strangely enough, I was happy, because I had stopped caring whether I'd get into a college or not this year, I just wanted to see if my preparation had stayed with me until the end. I could have done better, but at that moment, I didn't worry about it. I guess I'll give the exam another try.
I´m of the same opinion as you on Kita´s job post graduation. When I saw the pages/panels, I was like: "Yeah, that´s Kita Shinsuke."
It encapsulates everything he stands for. The daily actions and efforts he put into his work, with his yield as the product of this.
And that Miya Osamu specifically buys from Kita later on just warms my heart! XD
Kita is my favorite Inarizaki player.
The way he faces the ordinary, daily life with such earnesty, the way he is so extraordinarily stable and reliable. The care he puts into everything and everyone around him is admirable.
When I was captain of my football team. I tried to model myself after him. I was a quiet lineman. In my mind, my goal, was to allow the stars to make the tackle. I just wanted to win
Kita was an instant favorite because of this
Kita being a farmer post time-skip, is so iconic. He is undoubtedly the most matured character out there.
Yes, yes, yes! Kageyama is called genius, but he works his arse off every step of the way. He never assumes that he will be always better than anyone else, he swallows his pride and asks Oikawa for advice JUST to be better. Not many people, even grown-ups, would do that. Kageyama is my fav character for this reason - he works hard and hates wasted potential ("What have you been doing for those three years?!") , and him, not being understood for that - that hit too close to home.
Kita is my second fav for reasons you highlighted in this video. He steadily builds his strength and leadership. He is that one stable thing in Inarizaki's crazy team - and he does it great.
I'm from Russia. Russian UA-cam have only one short video about Kita. Kita is my favourite character from haikyuu. So your video made me feel contented and happy. Thank you!
😁😁😁 Salutations from an American;
да, хайкью в россии конечно не сильно знаменит. если хотите еще классный контент о хайкью, советую Aleczadnxr, у него очень классные видео
Almost my whole life I felt like I am missing something ,I didnt like what I was doing ,I didnt like who I was ,I didnt like how I looked ,but then I came across many quotes from many great people that opened my eyes ,I thought that I had to look for something that will change my life ,but all along it was already there I just wasnt paying attention and its so easy in this modern life full of distractions, but finding your own happiness within yourself from all small stuff you do everyday ,the sunny day , the fresh smell of grass in the morning , little efforts you put in everyday. And its exactly quotes like Kitas that makes you realise that world is already beautifull place you just need to look the right way on it.
Kita moved me a lot when I first saw him. I have played tennis all my life but I have never considered myself an outstanding player. I didn’t have a lot of raw talent, but I was blessed with a perfect height, a good mentality and the willing to put the hours in.
Even though I don’t have a lot of achievements in the sport, I have some of which I’m really proud of. Now I’m playing again and for the first time in my life I’m playing as a young adult, with no pressure and enjoying it with friends.
I know I will never achieve pro level, but that doesn’t stop me to being able to enjoy playing every day that I can, improving my daily habits, and being just a little bit better than I was yesterday. I’m playing with the hope of being better than when I was younger and played 4+ hours a day. With the right mentality, I might achieve it one day. One day at the time
If a lot more people were like Kita, the world would be a better place.
Kita has perfected the Zen mindset.
I loved Kita the moment they introduced him! Reminds me a lot of a quote from Bojack Horseman
“It gets easier. Every day it gets a little easier. But you gotta do it every day -that’s the hard part. But it does get easier.”
We’re always so hard on ourselves, and expect perfection from the get go. Everything takes time, we just need to be patient and consistent. Small progress is still progress.
I've always felt sad about being in the background. I do all the work, make sure it's perfect but in the end, no one knows my name. Kita's philosophy somehow bought me down to life.
I don’t even watch haikyuu but I love this character so much. This kind of people in general is so so rare in fiction because they’re usually brushed off as a super small character because they’re just “not as interesting”, and it’s even more rare in reality. But in truth, they’re so precious
wow. This is what we need. All of us. Having no enemies means having no external OR internal enemies. When we want more from ourselves than we have, we're condemning our own actions up until that point as not being enough. We are enough
my phone cover is him holding up the number one jersey where he says "maybe this is a result too"
Sometimes we forget the simple things or common sense and that's why a character like this is so impactful in the show and in everdaylife.
Kita's every words feel like those wise advices from your wise grandfather.
"If you've practiced enough, you likely ARE enough" bruh tears literally erupted. I've been studying this whole year for an exam whilst trying to balance it with working. Now, I've done many an exam before but I'm still sooo nervous for this one coz it's a big one that's important for my future. That line really hit me and I'm defo gonna use it as a mantra for when I go in for it!
Glad it helped!
The most goated and simplist line ever said in an ANIME. A great scene about iteration of life and habits.
I cried after seeing Kita’s character the first time around after first watching Haikyu, and I cried again after stumbling upon your video. He is my favorite character in that I wish to embody his very ideals. Thank you for putting this together. 😊❤
Glad you enjoyed it!
Kita immediately resonated with me when I first watched Haikyuu, it was incredible
Damn I still remember how this character gave me chills, thank you for reminding me again
This is literally the concept of “Dharma” in Hindu Philosophy
I remember when I watched those scenes with Kita I dedicated pages of my journal just to write his words so I will never forget it. I cried when Ojiro said that Kita don't need to overthink about being happy and just be. Haikyuu hits me different that after I watched it I felt like I'm somehow gained confidence and trust myself because of its message. Thank you for sharing this insight to us .
Your channel is basically jus like Kita's story... Keep doing what your doing, putting some of what you do daily into UA-cam and just enjoying the process. 50k subs was just a byproduct of the actions you made daily... And now you can be Happy for it. CONGRATS! 🤗
This video made me think ofwhat i can really be in the future, despite all of the bad habits and other things. but life is life, we move on and fix the bad stuff. W vid
7:15: "I am built upon the small things I do every day, and the end results are nothing more than a byproduct of that." POWERFULL.
Simply... thank you for this. I really needed this in my life!
Just want to thank you for this really good vid. The message from the story is indeed good and inspiring but the way you put it makes it even better and easier to understand. Thank you once again .
Thanks for this ❤ It was something I needed to be reminded of
This was another great video. I really admire you for summing up every small detail of his journey in such a way. Please keep going.
He’s one of my favorite character, thank you for making this video.
damn - i just failed at something for the second time and this puts things in a crazy perspective. i gotta do more to make sure i don’t fail it again a third time. great vid.
Good luck bro!
Mam Kita resounds so heavily within me and you literally had me crying here, thanks for the video ❤
Amazing. He is one of my favorite characters from this manga. I didn't know if someone would ever make a video about him. His future profession matches perfectly
What a beautiful message, thank you for sharing this with us all. I find the idea that we need not be more than what are daily work makes us, very comforting.
Tears.. all your videos make me tear up
Great video, so glad I found your channel. You've inspired me to rewatch haikyuu now and read the manga where the show ends off. Your success is well deserved. Let's all be a little better than we were yesterday.
Man that's some real stuff, Thank you very much
Hey, I think I needed to hear this. This wasn't demanding, but reassuring. I'm keen to be more intentional about trying this approach
I know this video is not that old, but when I'm feeling down I get back to it
omg i found this today and really appreciate it. this is an anime which I adore every character I feel proud and admire than, and felt I could learn but I never took time to truly understand what that was, seriously amazing channel good job
ive never watched haikyuu but this totally convinced me i love it when creators make characters that are like real like this. competiting in anything is scary bc we're always worried abt being the best and perfect but its cool to be reminded that doing something even for a performance or competiton is still the same fun thing it was from the start. and thats all that really matters. and its so cool theres like so many other things Kita does that seems inspiring just from this video to me. great work 😊😊
Amazing video!
you know I once read this short story somewhere in which everybody had a super power, and this one guy who ended up being the no.1 hero had no special power but because he put out kindness in the world. Everyday he would help someone, through just a small action and in the end he would see the result of his small actions, everybody held him to some sort of respect.
Ik its not the same philosophy but its kinda an example of this philosophy.
BTW amazed how u somehow get these insane life lessons from anime and decide to share it with the world, truly insane.
I think what you said about replaying is so true. I usually just go through the game at first. If after that I want more of it, I go again and explore everything. If i had enough I know I got everything I needed out of it
Congrats on 50K subs and here is to many more.
Kita's advice is so good and simple that it is hard. I am someone who struggles with consistency. I tend to move like waves on a windy day. The weather will dictate the waves and it isn't always the best thing but it works sometimes.
For years I have been trying to get into a set routine but think that is the wrong mindset. I am now trying to plan fixed actions that leave space for the waves. Steven Hollet and Chris Willamson were talking about how to avoid procrastination. In that conversation, they mentioned balancing the desire to do something, the cost, and the sacrifice.
If you are like me doing what Kita does seems impossible but it isn't if don't box yourself in. Find the balance of a goal to move you forward and fear(motivation) to run away from. If you don't change what is the worst thing that will most likely happen and if you do change what is the thing you wish to happen. I hope you find your answers and grow.
Beautiful video. I hope that people can find peace in this video. I hope for all the people who follow this great advice and still feels like maybe they want a bit more dont forget that these principles are still important to yourself and the others around you. Perspectives are great to add meaning and values to life , so make sure you keep to your principles while you add onto your life in other areas.
Amazing videos, will be checking your channel from now on! Keep it up bro. I think many people underestimate the lessons anime and manga has, in the end, the authors are living life just as we are and they're dealing with the same things perhaps with a different form, but yet the same.
Thank you
Haikyuu is one of my favorite manga and I'm grateful for videos like this one to remind/teach me why i love it so much. Amazing work, keep it up and good like with the interviews!
I'm glad you like it! And it went pretty well so we'll see
Wow I'd never expect my comment to be shown in one of your videos, the level of respect and relatability I have for you just skyrocketed, especially since I too thought that for every self improvement philosophy I'm very sure Kita's mindset of how "You are the sum of your daily habits" is the foundation for every other principle, since it's also based on the book Atomic Habits, "You don't rise to the levels of your goals, you fall to the levels of your systems".
Much Love, this is also the culmination of everything you've covered, since if you watch this and another Barou video afterward, it would seem to contradict each other, but as you said, "What works for you, works for you", and the way that Kita who was both smart and disciplined ended up a farmer is just perfect writing.
Hope we meet someday as high value men, much love.
Thank you, there is something beautiful about the process.
waking up to this video changed, AT LEAST, my entire week. Thank u so much. Kita´s character means so much to me and it made me happy to see someone talking deeply about him and his phylosophy.
You're welcome 😊
Good job on 50k man! I remember when I subscribed last year when you were at 236. Great job, I’m so glad more people are noticing you work. Was really happy when I saw my comments on the end card lol
Cheers man! Thanks for sticking around so long haha
What an amazing insight! Thank you for making this video.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Was kinda wondering if am on the right track or not and shit
I was already internally thinking"but am happy with this aren't I" and this video just confirmed it for me, thanks man 👍
Glad to hear it!
you got it, man! I believe in you
@@yangene 🤝 thanks ma man, good luck to u too
i also love that in this arc there's a connection to Noya, who is also regarded as a genius too but we know how hard he works and how hard he is on himself, and while fighting Inarazaki, he feels fear, afraid of doing something whether he did it a thousand times or something new, he took note of what his grandpa said to him "Fear is a waste of opportunity." It shows us that starting something new, in contrast to Kita's consistency where you might already be at a point where you already do it everyday, there is no reason to be afraid to do new things, we should keep trying new things because this is how we understand ourselves. To eat something you hate again; to make sure you don't like it, to confront things head on, even if you're afraid. Being able to not be scared of trying new things and Kita's lines about consistency makes the philosophy very interesting for me
needs more views. this is revolutionary.
I needed this video. I’ve been watching your stuff for a while now, and have been mildly provoked by your insightful interpretations of chaicters within haikyuu but this really managed to change an important part of my mind set that was hindering me before, and for that I am forever grateful.
Glad it was helpful!
Genuinely an amazing video
Thanks for the video I have really learnt something🙏🏾
I honestly can't believe I've only just come across your channel. I've only watched 2 videos so far and your dives are so simple but so incredibly beautiful. Definitely going to binge everything. You now have another friend my guy 🔥🔥
Glad you like them!
this is one of the best videos I've seen on UA-cam, thank you! :)
I absolutely agree, the beauty lies in the simple, small things we do on the daily. We just need to pay attention to them and stop worrying about all the big things.
Wow, thank you!
Thanks for the content, thanks for inspiring young men like me, via these beautiful anime series, and break them down to this lessons, it’s actually worth it content. Thanks bro you have gave me peace. ❤
Love to hear that, glad it helped dude :)
You earned a subscriber because of these Haikyuu contents!! Please keep making this!! You give me motivations ❤
Thank you! Will do!
This video really got me thinking about where I could apply this in my life. These types of channels are my favorite. Talking and thinking about the lessons and meanings of things are really interesting. Thank you for the video, keep up the good work and take care of yourself.
Thank you, you too!
I am actually crying watching this. I love Kita so much, his ways are so grounding to me❤
I binge watched Haikyuu and then went back and searched for this episode of Season 4. Shinsuke❤
Congratulations! And thank you, you introduced me to my absolute favorite anime, Blue Lock. I think that is because of your insights. Had I have not been introduced to your channel by your Vinland saga videos I likely would have never watched Blue Lock and I credit your analysis for making it my favorite anime. Here's to 50K more!
Cheers bro! And that's great to hear, I always wondered how many people stuck around from my vinland saga videos
Thanks for the post!
He made me cry watching this series
Bro thank you for your insights and videos. It means a lot.
Glad you like them!
This is one of the best videos I have seen. I finished the manga series a long time ago and totally forgot about Kita. But, now I remember why I used to love this guy so much back then. Thank you for this amazing video :))
Wow, thank you!
I’m happy to see this channel! And looking forward to more great anime lesson and Haikyuu content.
And with the Haikyuu film being released I hope you can also talk Coach Nekomata’s quote about the “the joy from doing should be what is important, first and foremost” and somehow great influenced the chosen career of Kuro.
More to come!
hey, i have just found this channel, i jus want to say that:
Thank you a lot for analysised Kita.
This video helped me a lot because i was feeling down and lost lately but now i have taken back the control of my mindset
Glad it was helpful!
this was a very well though out video!
when i got this video on recommendation, i thought it would be a simple video, which i will watch and move to another one. it was a simple video, but it did much more than that for me. As you spoke of him and his principle, i started crying, everything resonated too close to my heart. thank you so much for this video. I am happy i found you randomly during the most difficult time of my life.
Glad I could help so much:)
I recently completed watching Haikyuu for the first time, at a time where I'm going through a rough patch, and this series has actually healed me in ways I cannot express.
The positivity and hope that each and every character has given me feels like a warm hug that I desperately wanted. Even characters like Ushijima from Shiratorizawa and Takanobu Aone from Date Tech have taught me so much, even though they didn't have many significant lines.
I thank you deeply for making this video on Kita, really appreciate your work
Glad you enjoyed it!
i love him sm, what he said was so simple but very impactful for me especially as someone who is a bigger picture and result driven person, enjoying the process because it feels nice is really what's important
Kita is one of my favorites!! He is so kind and just so perfect. He had few scenes but he is so impactful.
Great video and perfect summary of what Kita's way of thinking is! Thank you!
Kita's approach to challenges is exactly how I go about for my music concerts. I'm a drummer and when I was young, whenever we had a big concert or when I had to play a small solo part, I used to get horrible anxiety attacks. I've learned his way of thinking before Haikyuu was being made but he reminded me of this simple fact: _Why should I be afraid of playing that solo part? I did practice it hundreds of times, we did rehears if with the band over and over again. I know I can do it! So let's just do it!_
With this way of thinking I actually could turn my anxiety into excitement! _I practised so much, now I wan to show the world what I can do!_
It might be viewed as a "simple" mindset but it requires a lot of dedication, at least at first. And what you get out of it is calmness and clarity.
And gradually you will become "good" at it. Combined with the "being good means being free" quote, it's the first step to get ready to fly!
Beautiful video, the things you do everyday that's your life, live...
Your videos are amazing. Your videos changed the way I looked at things, and work towards my goals. Please never spot inspiring people
Thank you! Will do!
Congratulazioni per i tuoi 50k Bro!!
Con stima 🏆👀🐐🔥🔥🔥
So glad you made this!! I love Kita so much and really admire his character traits. Got a special embroidered work of him in his rice field a couple years ago and I treasure it.
Another absolute banger!, Congrats on the 50K bro! This one was really special, usually in Hiakyuu characters I see small fragments of myself and they help me understand how I deal with it, Kita however seems like an alien to me, It's these kinds of characters that really change up your perspective, really well done mate.
Appreciate it!
