    The weird bickering about astaxanthin and docosahexaenoic acid is actually a callback!
    In the ova i think we learn that Yaku (nekoma's third year libero) and Kuroo have been butting heads since their first year, mainly because they have opposite ideas and taste (but are both determined to go to nationals). In that scene for example Yaku says he likes short hair girls, and kuroo long hair girls, then one says he likes meat and the other that he likes fish.
    Astaxanthin is a pigment found in meat that makes it red, while docosahexaenoic acid is found in fish. That's why in the next line Kuroo insinuates Yaku will be sick for eating too much meat.

    You don't really need to really "get" what Fukunaga (the guy who says freeze while pouring water on Kenma and Tora) is saying. He's basically all random puns and rhymes that don't necessarily inherently make sense (and also hence it's not always translatable). It's just a lot of random silly stuff he's saying all the time, and that's why Kenma says he's funny

  • @TrianaNero
    @TrianaNero Місяць тому +52

    Zashiki-warashi are like spirits that hide and live in people's houses and prank them x)
    Funny how you mention the connection between Kenma's hair and Yamamoto, because it was actually Yamamoto who unknowingly "encouraged" it. When Kenma's hair grew longer and started covering more of his face, esp when he'd hunch over to play games, he spooked Yamamoto a couple times by accident. Yamamoto complained that Kenma looked like the creepy girl Sadako from "The Ring," which Kenma didn't care about, but then he said that Kenma "stands out", which bothered him very much xD So he dyed his hair blond, not realizing that Yamamoto was talking about the length, not the color.
    Haikyuu's really good at showing how there's no one right way to do things, no one right answer, etc., and it stands out even more when you reread/rewatch. That might also be why so many people find something relatable/useful for themselves in the story.

    They never mention in the anime why Kenma bleach his hair but it was because Tora said to him that he looks like the girl from the movie "The ring". So Kenma decides to bleach his hair, wich made him even more jazzy. But he is so lazy to bleach it again so we can see the roots of his natural hair again and that's why they called him puddin head😅

    11:14 also, Nekomata has a habit of choosing setters base on their volleyball intelligence, not athletisism, Kenma wasn't the first, and Aritaka Shishio, Sarukawa's coach knows this because he saw it first hand, that's why he knows Kenma won't break mentally but can break phisically
    11:46 Kuroo has called him their brain since for ever, their pregame chant they always do refers to everyone as blood that has to keep moving (receiving perfectly) so the brain (Kenma) can work at his best, that's why he finds the chant embarassing. And Kuroo uses this analogy because he is a chemestry nerd. Also why Yaku bickers with him with those insults at the start of the episode, if you remember when they first met, Kuroo insulted Yaku with something about the subject (I suck at chemestry so can't tell you what) and Yaku tells him to speak japanese, now that they have spent three years together they can bicker using their own insults, it's amazing
    14:11 Hahhaha you have no idea how "manga Kenma" like you just souded
    14:36 his jokes sadly don't translate well since they rely on japanese play on words, that of course can't be translated, or relate to japanese culture/people like in 21:16 he doesn't say "Mr Freeze says chill out" he actually calls them a philosopher's name, because they were fighting about their different ways of doing things, and the word "guts" and it's implication, but of course international audience wouldn't get it
    14:58 mind you, they are at most 15 here, don't know if it's because I'm unathletic, but just the fact that they do weights at that age is amazing to me
    21:57 Kenma dying his hair is a short story in the manga, it actually is because Yamamoto told him he stands out with his hair (because people often thought he was a ghost) so his solution, because of course he doesn't want to stand out, was to dye it but Yamamot was talking about cutting it, and Kenma said that was not posible because he gets anxious when his line of vision is wide. Something really sweet is that it ends with the third years looking fondly at the rest of the team touching Kenma's hair while laughing, saying that somehow, even though dyed hair is uncommon in Japan, it actually makes him seem more part of this specific team. Another detail is that he lets his roots grow because it's a pain (he is to lazy) to keep dying it.

      "he actually calls them a philosopher's name, because they were fighting about their different ways of doing things, but of course international audience wouldn't get it" That's a bit more deep than I think it actually is. He says "yarisuki Dostojevski" (you're going too far, Dostojevski) which is simple wordplay based on the "suki/ski" sound that ends both words. Also Dostojevski was a writer, not a philosopher.

    • @tesshh1
      @tesshh1 Місяць тому

      ​@@mikkosimonen Well sorry, I read someone call him a philosopher and didn't see the need to fact check that, and like I said I can't explain the jokes because I'm part of the international audience that wouldn't understand them if they translated word for word, as for it's meaning, I don't know, as you saw I don't know the writer, that's how I saw someone interpret his jokes. I just wanted to show him that for Fukunaga's jokes you have to take into account the original langugage and nationality it comes from. Like for example I like to believe I'm pretty funny in spanish, but I'm not as much in english, because many things can't be translated or there are expiriences that I don't share with english speaking countries
      BTW, I try to look for what ski means in japanese and I just find the sport, so I don't get the relation

    • @mikkosimonen
      @mikkosimonen Місяць тому +1

      @ wouldn’t be the first time someone in the anime community basically made something up and it got spread around (see: falling down the stairs meaning suicide in Japan). And yeah the joke’s don’t translate at all because they’re wordplay, which you won’t get if you don’t understand the language. I can explain them, sure, but that won’t make them land.
      But really, I’m surprised. Crime and Punishment is one of the most famous novels in the world, I didn’t expect someone not to know Dostojevski (or Dostoevsky as it’s sometimes spelled).

      @@mikkosimonen Well, I have the bad habbit of not looking at authors of any art form, I still wouldn't recognise a singers name, unless is someone as famous as Taylor Swift, but if you make me listen a song I probably heard it, or actors, I'm more likely to tell you "that actress that played x character in x movie is good" than their name, same with books (actually worse) Now that you said Crime and Punishment, of course I know the book, but I'm not one to look at the author, I didn't even remember the writer when I made the original comment because when I read someone analysing his jokes I didn't pay attention to the name since I knew it wouldn't make a difference to my understanding

    something i love about sports anime in general is that there's intensity and competition, but since there's usually not a huge outside threat (other than another sports opponent) they have more time exploring the players' backstories... and haikyuu does a great job with them

    i love how Kenma and Yamamoto have the same end goal but just different paths to get there. Yamamoto is trying to muscle his way into the victory whereas Kenma is more about taking certain steps to not loose. even though playing to not loose isnt exactly the thinking that Kenma does though. it is more of a "i hate loosing so im going to win instead."

  • @FuFightersStudio
    @FuFightersStudio Місяць тому +3

    So as the episode implies Sarukawa are named after monkeys - I think its interesting that they are also really hard to crack but while Nekoma is very fluid and elegant with their perfect recieves, Sarukawa is more tenacious, they will not get it up perfectly but they will get it up every time. Fits the animals quite well.
    As far as I can tell the socks Kenma has on are more like sleeping socks - like the thick ones you put on your feet so they arent cold in the evening - he was probably too lazy to change his clothes tho :D
    A zashiki-warashi is basically a household spirit that pranks people. They got spooked cause he sneaked up on them.
    When the chemistry came up they were bringing up the argument from the OVA where Yaku likes meat but Kuroo likes fish and he is like "fish has all this healthy stuff" and they are teasing each other about it. At least if I remember correctly.
    Regarding halftime - my suspicion is that you own an ice asteroid in near space and are trying to make us drink all the water on the planet so you can sell it at high price :D
    I hated running until I stopped doing sports actively, now I miss it :D
    The reason why Fukunaga's jokes dont really make sense is cause they are puns in japanese. Basically if I was to translate it to keep the pun he would say "A-Pass is a pass.
    As for the "guts" its like "show some guts" - I would say thats also a bit on the iffy translation side but its kinda the same even if you replace it with like "mettle"
    The interesting thing is that the passing drill between Tora and Kenma is a sort of conversation. Tora goes "you have to try hard" (spikes) and Kenma says "no you have to get the job done" (easily recieves it with no effort" then Kenma says "you gotta be smart" (Tips it) and Tora cant pick it up cause he isnt ready. Its an amazing piece of non-verbal communication. This is the sort of thing we dont get much in western media these days I feel like. You can learn so much about both of them without a single line of dialogue there.
    I dont think we are ever getting the "why Kenma did his hair" in the anime so let me say it. Basically Kenma's long hair makes him look like a ghost (Especially like that one famous one that comes out of a TV - I am sure you know which one I mean) so Yamamoto told him that his hair makes him stand out - this bothered him since he doesnt want to be noticed so he bleached it thinking it will help :D everyone laughed and told him he stands out even more now so he is slowly waiting for his hair to grow back out to normal colour - thats why he has the "pudding hair" with yellow tips - its the part of the original fully bleached look slowly dissapearing.
    I honestly really like Nekoma, kinda wish we got a spinoff manga just about Nekoma's story - kind of how it was originally envisioned to be about both. I might be even more happy to see this now that I finally got to watch the movie.
    Fun fact - both teams are facing a mirror of themselves. I feel like the point is to show us that we are not that special in the tournament, there is always someone who can do the same or better and only the one who proves to be the best at what they do gets to move on.
