The ballboy arc is easily the best training arc in all manga/anime. Somebody being absolutely humbled down to learn better skills
YES !!!
Nah, I personally think it’s where he went to Brazil. To me, all this time he still looked like he was reliant. Needing a quick set or where the setter has to set the ball to which stops so he can hit it. Yes, in this arc he trained to receive but he still wasn’t good enough to receive in nationals so it was pretty much not helping as much. But the observations did. Whereas in the Brazil ark he learned not to be reliant and fight by himself. He was also amazing at everything now and was able to stand up for himself not behind another. That’s my opinion tho and I fully respect yours.
Little story~
That "I am a ballboy level one" phylosophy have turned my life to the better. Idk how to be healthier, I observed, do it consistently, and now I loose 20kg. Idk how to manage my mental stress, I learned, day by day, and now I'm glad I'm doing better. Just observe and humble yourself like a ballboy mentality even got me to win a badminton match, which I totally suck before. It turns out my grip was all wrong, I learned basic badminton steps, I learn to tie my shoes so it won't untie between matches. Who would've thought those little things, every day, got me so far
100% agree. It’s by far my favorite arc of all seasons
@@StorySentral05 I think the Brazil arc is my favorite final arc because it shows how Hinata got to national level. But I do think that Ballboy arc is more rewarding soul crushing. Hinata is told that he's nothing like Kageyama and while hurt, he focus on improving. Being humble enough to ask help from people he already defeated. Rather than learning offense, he now had to learn defense.
As a "retired" volleyball player who is now close to 50 years old, I remembered that the very first time I watched this scene in this episode, my eyes welled up with tears. I think it was the single most important scene in the whole series. The beauty of it is that it was so simple and yet so very important.
I love how unexpected Hinata's save is. I'm sure at least 90% of viewers had totally forgotten about this whole "let's take it easy"-thing. And then, when we arrived at this scene, it struck us, just like his team mates. The moment I realized what he just did, I snapped out of the scene and was totally in awe. I felt similar to how Suga felt. I was so reliefed and happy, but most importantly, I was proud. Very proud. And knowing what happens in the manga later on, man. I can't possibly wait for every body to finally see our boy in action.
I loved that the manga/anime showed Hyakuzawa watching the game. It's adds that little extra point that Hinata didn't just learn this lesson for himself.
Truth, it made my heart feel something.
Hyakuzawa having the realization that volleyball is hella complex (like all other sports) and not just about simple height dominating above all else is one of the best mini stories within Haikyuu hands down. And the fact that he's taught this by one of the smallest players is all the more brilliant.
@@AllTheArtsy SPOILER
I love that we see Hyakuzawa on the Olympic team in the last chapter. After thinking volleyball was "simple" and then seeing how defeated he was at the first year camp, to know he found a true passion for the game and made it to the highest level is awesome.
@@robertcampbell8070 it is but it's not realistic. then again even Hinata isn't, so it's fine lol
It's interesting how Washijo didn't even let Hinata play once in the training camp, even though one of the coaches notes how he was the most fired up.
But then I realized that it didn't really matter that much, as Washijo points out that the people who are lacking in size always have a hunger to improve.
Hinata would always want to improve, regardless of whether he could play or not, and I think that helped him realize his lesson.
Washijo knew exactly what he was doing, he’s mad underrated in the ball boy arc.
@@HarshReviews I think people write it off as petty since he obviously hated Hinata.
@@AceOfScrubs well at first I also though he just straight up hated him but when I read the manga I kinda liked Washijo
@@AceOfScrubs Washijo saw himself in Hinata, he naturally felt Hinata trying so hard is simply waste of time. However, Washijo realizes Hinata's determination later on.
Hinata: *receives*
Me: *cries* that's my child
Still to this day when I watch this episode I let out breath of relief. Hinata has grown so much throughout that season and that one moment tells us how much his view of volleyball has changed.
Especially when we cut to sugawara and he remembers Hinata’s mindset of volleyball change from “I love spiking” to “I want to be on the court” now to this.

Hinata receiving the ball was his shining moment and the most beautiful scene in season 4. It's just BEAUTIFUL to see how Hinata improved just from observing? Also, he was in the middle of a match and he was observing everything? It's almost like he's unaffected by his teammates during that time, like he's out of their frequency of panic and in a neutral mode observing everything. While it was only for that moment that we see Hinata's moment since he's still growing to be a better player.. I literally teared up. It's just... B R E A T H T A K I N G. I love Haikyuu. It's the only sports anime that has truly taken hold of my soul and heart.
That "take it easy" moment in the Inarizaki match still just make me so emotional, even the clip here had the same effect. This single moment represents so much character journey in Hinata & is done so well that the chills are always there. Also, another great video, just love these.
I legit started crying when I saw that clip
Your definitely the most underrated UA-cam I’ve ever watched. Your voice and narration are absolutely incredible thanks for making these great videos!!!
Aye, appreciate that homie!
Agreed. Harsh is able to find express the meanings in several animes, mostly haikyu!! and it helps people see things differently. They're a great UA-camr and I'm sure also an amazing person
@@HarshReviews no problem your videos are super entertaining, I’m glad I found your channel
I recommend to check out Aleczxander. That dude videos are also dope.
You’re*
Hinata character development is so good his game IQ, Chemistry with teammates and Athleticism
Literally as a volleyball player it is quite literally the best thing to learn
go get your rinbot score up bro 😎
I wish I could like this video more than once. I'm actually all emotional watching it. Hinata's "take it easy" moment in the Inarizaki match, and the scene leading up to it, is easily one of my favorite moments in Haikyuu. I especially love how it gets all dark around the edges, and the intense music, then how it goes all bright again with Hinata's receive. People always refer to Hinata as "sunshine", and here he was really the light breaking through the darkness.
Haikyuu is filled with these small moments. Oikawa tried to set it a little away from the net against date. But iwaizumi asks him to set normally and breaks through the iron wall. He stepped up as the ace. Or kinoshita telling nishinoya to move up against inarizaki. Finally ennoshita struggles against wakutani minami both mental and physical
It's one of the most important things in life. Take a step back, relax, reflect, and strike back stronger than ever. I loved the video btw ;)
Love you Ro
Relaxation is one of the hardest lessons to learn in volleyball. As a team sport you want to make the most of the small amount of time you get to touch the ball and as everybody in the team becomes more tense mistakes are inevitable. As I played at higher and higher levels I saw the best players were always the ones that seemed like there wasn’t a tight muscle in their body. It took me a long time to master this, for hinata it was quickness for me it was power and jumping, learning to resist leaning into my strengths and maintain a balanced game made me a vastly better player.
Fr fr bro, its really hard to actually implement it.
When Hinata did that receive that allowed everyone to take a step back and relax a little was honestly the best moment in season 4, watching him in the first few season you can clearly tell that he is an energetic person and just wants to always jump and spike, but then you see him grow as a person and you watch that scene thinking, "Hinata, of all people, is taking it easy and allowing/helping his teammates take a breath in the match" I was never more proud of him
I love him so much eekk-
That’s hitting me hard bro. That pause you made saying "except" and then the sound from the anime was something else. The whole script was very good and your narration again.. Aaah. Thank you for sharing your passion.
Hinata coming in like a ray of sunshine with that high first pass might just be my absolute favourite moment of the entire show. Makes me tear up every time
I remember this lesson while me and my dad were playing volleyball. I had to do a spikes and the timing really got to me. Then my dad told me one thing I will never forget, "It is okay" and "keep practicing". Those two phrases go a long way.
This is the best thing I love about hikyuu it shows us how to get better in volleyball and it shows that it's not a one man team u need to improve and help your team improve. I kid u not I started crying just by watching it
Your love for Haikyuu is incredible. How hype will it be when we finally get a new season!!
chills all over again man, haikyuu is truly PEAK
You're peak
@@HarshReviews no u bro, no you
i cried on this scene. like wtheck is with Haikyuu with their realistic stunts but still gives chills to the viewers
I had been obsessed with cricket since I was a little kid. I've always wanted to bowl fast just like my heroes that I saw on TV however I sucked at the game. Not getting into the middle school team and not having anyone really to teach me anything about bowling fast really pissed me off. But I was so passionate about it that I'd bowl to a wall for hours each day and I did that for over a year until I got some pace. Everyone acknowledged my skills now and I even became the vice-captain of my highschool team. All was going perfect till I realized that my bowling action was wrong footed meaning I'd step twice with my right foot before delivering, this set a limit to my speed and cuz I had practiced the action to the extreme I just couldn't make it right.
That was a big life experience and thank God I had that before playing volleyball. Now I had realized the importance of basics and I try to master my volleyball basics to perfection(especially the steps to jumping) and it's going great so far, I'm an all around player in volleyball now and can play literally any position : )
That’s so good to hear! Keep up the hard work :)
I've just been feeling stressed recently. It feels like there's so much I need to do, so much I need to be. The pressure and the need to fulfill the expectations of your loved ones. I've been trying to do this and that faster, study faster, do assignments faster, I'm so tired of forcing myself to be better and faster, so tired but I don't know what to do about it- until I decided to take a break and watch this video. It felt like a weight was pulled off of my shoulders. Take it easy. Such a simple sentence and yet it's so impactful at the same time. I think I get it now. Take it easy. I don't need to rush, there's no point in rushing. I just need to take it easy.
I was watching this episode today. It is my favourite episode of the first 4 seasons, and arguably it doesn't even show our main protagonist as the hero of the story. It's an amazingly well crafted episode showing how he learns by observing and how I've learned a lot of my physical martial arts skills: by having to put into words a physical movement to teach it to someone else. I love it. One of the best things is how it leads to my favourite scene of the first 4 seasons: OOOHRAI!
It also has by far the funniest scene of all 4 seasons, where he gets hit in the nether regions. 😂
Hinata goes from a child trying to prove his place in this world to someone who finds his genuine love in something. in this case its volleyball. I love seeing the pure obsession of just having FUN grow and become more and more of his personality. He's emotionally maturing, and its incredible to watch.
Great video!!! ^^ I absolutely agree that Washijo Sensei knew that Hinata lacked the fundamentals and agreed only if he stays as a ball boy when he crashed that camp. Hinata was able to observe other players, think and learn which was what led him to observe and realize Kunimi's plays to keep the ball high for his team to have time to keep the ball in play.
Not only did Hinata learnt to observe, react, receive, he learnt to Let's take it easy.
I remember my first time watching Haikyuu Karasuno vs Inarizaki match made me the audience hold my breath as that play scene accelerated. When Hinata received the ball and kept the ball high, I could let out my breath and relaxed.
I did not realize they made the scene before Hinata received darker even though I have re-watched it so many times. I did notice they made it really bright to the max when received the ball. It was indeed a moment with lots of feels.
Look forward to more of your videos!!! XD
Washijo the unsung GOAT fr. Thanks for the kind words!
I love daichi's reaction the most in this scene, like it's clearly visible hinata changed drastically during the ballboy arc. A great video!
It's still the most emotional moment in haikyuu I cry everytime I watch it and it was the first time hinata was on his right path towards ninja hinata
Rewatching the series currently and it's so great to see where Hinata came from... I feel just like Sugawara when he saw Hinata do that high receive.
3:01 "It's a gift when used at the right moment at the right time, but a curse if you overdo it." I like this transition
"We're so conZOOMED" lol that is hilarious line reading
MANGA SPOILERS…
I love how this moment is paralleled in the next match when kageyama reminds Hinata of this lesson when he sets him the Four. It’s so beautiful
In my opinion, this is legit the best moment in all haikyuu anime s1-s4
There was one other benefit from regaining their breath. They were practically choking themselves, they faster they went the more out of breath they became. So in a sense Hinata resuscitated them.
No character makes me cry with happiness as much as Hinata. Still. Haikyuu is a life-long string of lessons and reminders of how to live. Thanks for reminding me again, I needed it today :)
Tears. This series is so beautiful.
This pass... Always brings me to tears when introduced like that by a whole great video...
Amazing video and honestly I love how you really dig deep into the smallest details in Haikyuu that just everyone I watch makes the story, messages, and themes that much more solid and grounded. Keep it up bro I'll be here all the way
Thanks so much my dude!
I absolutely love ur haikyuu breakdown videos, each time i get the notification I know im probably atleast gonna cry once haha.
This scene was something else, I had chills watching this.
this is a lesson that suits me the most!!! As a setter , i have to make contact with each and every ball in play, which sometimes takes a toll on me in long rallies , and hence result in silly mistakes . Today that silly mistake happened that made my team lose the set. The mistake was due to the toll stacking up on me about making mistakes , basically I made a mistake - regretted - became sad - made another mistake because of being sad , and the cycle went on for a whole set. This video made me understand how important it is to relax and TAKE IT EASY!!!
I have no words. This is too beautiful. Hinata is truly the brightest sunshine :')
been waiting for another haikyuu video essay, you always make such good videos on them! the "take it easy" mindset is something i've been heavily utilizing since rewatching haikyuu, so it's great to see that it's the topic of this video :)
A very very wholesome and knowlegable video, awesome work harsh.
Like Suga...I also get tears in my eyes whenever I watch this scene
Hinata: Alright! and tears start falling from my eyes. every. single. time
Your edits and transitions make me cry 😭❤️
I heard many times that Haikyuu was a great anime and even tried giving it a shot but dropped soon after, you just convinced me to give it another go
Every anime teaches us so much and you are the teacher who explains the real meanings
Thank you so much for posting these videos. They inspire, motivate, and educate me. It helps me calm down in stressed environments. I am currently playing football/soccer in Spain and these videos help me a lot with my playing too. So thank you 🤗🤗
I've seen that scene so many times but this is the second time I cried about it. The first time when I saw the anime. The way you accompanied that beautiful line "let's take it easy", and the way you explained Hinata's journey. I dunno, it just really rings so deep. Thank you.
This training becomes a prologue of Hinata's life changing decision...the Brazil arc
Every one of your videos brings tears to my eyes. Haikyuu is one of, if not my favourite show and your clear cut analysis of each crucial moment is amazing. I wish you all the best with your future videos and can't wait to see where your channel goes!
Great video!! So many people hate on the ball boy arc, but I love it!! There's so many great lessons to learn from it.
Been wanting to do my first video essay on this! Great stuff man!!!
You really have a way with words, editing, pacing, seriously so talented! These videos are so good man. Keep it up!
Thanks so much :)
amazing video!! this is my favorite scene of haikyu of all time, so i was excited to watch, and you delivered!!! that scene is so beautiful for so many reasons. the detail of the screen getting darker as their field of vision decreases is so amazing. i love how when hinata makes the receive it brightens back up because he is quite literally the 'sun'. again, amazing video!! thank you!!
Really fantastic video. Glad you pointed out the 2 on 2 scene
I was once asked a question of how to move forward in life....
I thought for a bit and the first answer that came to my mind ( bcs of personal experience) I immedeately answered : It is to calm down and take a step back.
And watching your explanation of this side development of Hinata specifically made me realized I did learnt alot of watching this show without even realizing it!! This is how you know the show is an absolute masterpiece.
Wooooh. Goosebumps!! Happy that I've watch your review. Keep it up.
jeez i just watched this again and i really love the philosophy and meaning behind this video :3
Amazing video bro. From the script to the narration to every pause. Keep up the good work.
I am crying! This is a really good narration! 😢🧡
This moment really stuck with me because of Suga-Momma's line after 😭
i love all your analysis and how u squeeze all haikyuu has to offer and not just the surface we all see, i love ur videos
i’ve been watching ur vids for a little now and i just wanted to say u have the best way of telling a story. u make ur videos so captivating by the way u talk. awesome stuff man keep it up
Every time I watch your haikyuu videos it inspire me to do better!!! Amazing!!!
Finally got round to watching this video. Brilliant. I love how when we're all caught up in the excitement of all these players performing such incredible feats, character moments like these really make sure to keep our feet on the ground and remember that everyone here is human, has their limits, and have more to learn. Really makes you take a step back from it all and breathe it all in like you said. Great video bro, really great!!
Yes! When an anime can make you feel all those emotions at once and then hit you with something as powerful as that moment, you know it’s a masterpiece. Appreciate you bro :)
yep this is exactly why i loveee haikyuu, and obv your video is amazing as always heh
i can bet you will have 100 k soon
(lucky to have been here before 1 k)
Beautiful video essay. 1st video and I suscribed
your videos on haikyuu are always so well written every time i watch those i feel like i need to watch the show all over again
Bro, your videos are so fun to watch. The voice narration, the story telling, everything is so cool and at the right timing. Keep the videos coming! ❤️
enough to make a grown man cry every time
i was literally crying when hinata recieved the ball
Very nice Video, it made me to think about these things of simplicity! Keep the work up
been waiting for this
I really loved that story telling. Keep it up man your awesome
ok i love you solely because you love haikyuu and it's so great to see that someone finallyyyyy sundestands what this anime means to me and is unapologetically making likr 10 vidos about it. MORE POWWER TO YOU.
Yo I just discovered your channel and I'm absolutely loving all of your videos, also this video helped me with something I was struggling with so thanks a lot man. Looking forward to your future content ❣️
Great content as always 👏
Your voice and narration is soo great thnx for making these awesome videos
Just finished practicing volleyball... This video inspired me, I FINALLY did something for months of just scrolling mindlessly through youtube ( ಥ‿ಥ) I thank you so much!
great video dude! this focus on simplicity reminded me of washijo's catchphrase for volleyball "simple is best", and I think, whether consciously or subconsciously, he taught that lesson to hinata (as you described in the video)
also as a quick thought: maybe he wanted hinata to learn the fundamentals from this becuase he probably noticed that hinata didn't even know the basics in the finals game (as noted by either the johzenji coach or shiratorizawa's assistant coach, i don't remember which one, when the training camp was over)
This was beautiful man, I teared up watching this 😭
this is my favorite video from you just too good
Thank you for making the great video ! Love your voice and your point of view.
11:30... i love how most people missed the fact that tsukki was already breathing and was not shocked about this... since he was there in the training camp...
I love your videos so much and they just inspire me to do these things in volleyball
Glad I could be of help :)
I dont know why but ur videos get me emotional every time. I want you to make some videos on black clover also
Loved it! Thank you so much for such a thoughtful look!
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed :)
Your videos are so high quality I love hearing your voice over the video
Lately, me and my family have been facing big problems. My mom got covid and as a result she"s bed ridden. As I watch this video, I just realized that maybe I should step back and take it easy too.
Another BANGER homie! Keep it going man, you an inspiration! 💪🏾
Appreciate you my dude !
Another goat upload
Love your Haikyuu videos
Your way of story telling is so damn good 🔥
This right here is one of the many reasons I have watched Haikyuu more than nine times over the years. It is one of the animes that made me a big fan of anime as a whole but also sports anime specifically.
