    "I don't like #5, he looks scary... I am starting to like him, he's fun."
    Yes. Tendou (Satori) is amazing! He is all chaotic energy on the surface, but he is so emotionally intuitive that he is able to hype his team without them even realizing, and troll the other team when it hurts the most.
    I absolutely love his mental game 💖

      Tendou and Ushikawa have a perfect synergia. Because of Satori you can see Ushiwaka as a human and because of Ushijima, Tendou seem like human not a creepy createur.

    If nobody explained what "Benkei" is, he is a Japanese historical figure. He was well known as the left hand of an ancient Japanese Shogun (warlord). Shoyo thinks Leon's appearance looks like Benkei and Tendo (creepy looking guy) laughs at him for being Ushiwaka's lefthand.

    • @cateri7130
      @cateri7130 3 роки тому +45

      As Japanese, I guarantee that your opinion is totally accurate.
      And the warlord was named Ushiwaka(maru), so that’s also the reason Tendo laughs at Leon.
      And, when Shoyo saw Leon for the first time, he thought Leon looks like Benkei, then he finds Leon is the guy’s name. I’m sure Syoyo thinks Leon is not a typical Japanese name in contrast to Benkei, so that’s why he looks surprised.
      Sorry for my bad english. I hope you get what I’m trying to say.🥲🥲

    Season 3 is all I've wanted to see! So hype for this.
    To answer some of the questions you posed this episode:
    There was a historical warrior named Minamoto no Yoshitsune who was one of the more famous swordsmen in Japanese history known for his overbearing strength and technique, who had a warrior monk partner who was named Benkei. Yoshitsune had the nickname "Ushiwakamaru" (which was the name he was called as a child). Ushijima (the ace of Shiritorizawa) is known as Ushiwaka in the volleyball community for a couple reasons, first as a reference to Yoshitsune and his strength, but also because of his name (USHIjima WAKAtoshi). Since Benkei was the famous partner of Ushiwaka, Shoyo associated the Shiritorizawa player with the name Benkei. I think Leon's character design is also based on historical representations of Benkei, making the association even easier for Hinata. Number 5's reaction to him being called Benkei implies that Leon being called Benkei is a common occurrence.
    As for why Noya refers to Tanaka as Ryu, you pretty much guessed it. Tanaka's full name is Tanaka Ryuunosuke. In Japanese culture, people are usually referred to by their family names, only family and close friends would call you by your "first" name. So when Tsukishima's older brother refers to Tsuki, he calls him Kei, not Tsukishima. It's the same principle for Tanaka in this example. Noya calling Tanaka "Ryu" is meant to show how close they are as friends (although it also is a testament to Noya's personality, which cares more about substance than form).
    Shiritorizawa's mascot is an eagle, a testament to their belief in strong individual power (as opposed to the crows of Karasuno, who fight with numbers and teamwork).
    There is a lot of romance stories in anime, but they usually take a backseat in Haikyuu if they are present at all. Anime has many, many genres so you can pretty much see stories with any kind of focus if you know how to look for them.
    Finally, congrats on the engagement! Wishing you two the best.
    P.S. If you are still planning on Tsuki joining for a reaction, I highly recommend episode 4 of this season.

      @stephenstlouis 3 роки тому +9

      I love that your comment is literally the one I was about to make. You saved me a lot of typing.
      Just want to add that Leon's association with Benkei also continues subtly in his role on the team. If I recall correctly, Leon's often the guy that's there to cover for Ushiwaka to allow him to focus on being an offensive threat, truly filling the role of a sidekick/supporter. Ushiwakamaru and Benkei are common literary/historical figures in Japanese education (as far as I know), so Japanese readers probably get to internalize Leon's role here from that reference a bit more easily than us international fans. So while it's treated as a joke in episode 1, I think it's a pretty apt association.

    On the note of Shiratorizawa's setter seeming kinda short; he is. He's about Sugawara's height, and is one of the shortest starting setters on any notable team in the series, and it's even more apparent because Shiratorizawa are a pretty tall team overall. But I figure it may be useful to go over everyone's heights for this match, since the manga tells you before each match and the anime doesn't.
    Shiratorizawa:
    #1 Ushijima - Opposite - 189.5cm (6'2.6")
    #4 Leon - Outside - 182.7cm (5'11.9")
    #5 Tendo - Middle - 187.7cm (6'1.9")
    #8 Goshiki - Outside - 181.5cm (5'11.5")
    #10 Shirabu - Setter - 174.8cm (5'8.8")
    #12 Kawanishi - Middle - 188.3cm (6'2.1")
    #13 Yamagata - Libero - 174.3cm (5'8.6")
    Karasuno:
    #1 Daichi - Opposite - 176.8cm (5'9.6")
    #3 Asahi - Outside - 184.7cm (6'0.7")
    #4 Nishioya - Libero - 159.3cm (5'2.7")
    #5 Tanaka - Outside - 177.2cm (5'9.8")
    #9 Kageyama - Setter - 180.6cm (5'11.1")
    #10 Hinata - Middle - 162.8cm (5'4.1")
    #11 Tsukishima - Middle - 188.3cm (6'2.1")
    So Shiratorizawa are a pretty huge team in comparison to Karasuno.

    Lots of folks get confused by the Benkei joke.
    So the Terminator on Shiratorizawa's team is Ushijima Wakatoshi, but people nicknamed him Ushiwaka for short.
    Ushiwakamaru was the name of Minamoto no Yoshitsune, a legendary samurai and military commander.
    Part of the legend around Ushiwakamaru was that as a young lad, he defeated a wild and tough warrior monk named Musashibo Benkei.
    Benkei pledged his loyalty to Ushiwaka and he became his right-hand man.
    That's why people are saying that if Ushijima is Ushiwaka, then Leon is his Benkei, his right-hand man.
    Kind of like how Iwazumi is to Oikawa.

Michimiya has a crush on Daichi but he is oblivious. Suga and friends are totally aware of her feelings thankfully and you'll see them giving her and Daichi privacy because of it

    The whole Benkei thing. So Ushijima Wakatoshi is nicknamed "Ushiwaka" after the first characters of his name. The nickname is also part of the name of one of the most famous generals/warlords of feudal Japan called Ushiwakamaru Yoshitsune. His right-hand man was called Benkei, which Leon resembles in Hinata's mind. Tendou (red hair guy) was making fun of Leon for supporting Ushijima and remarking "are you Benkei" in a reference to his nickname and the resemblance to the historical figure. It's a gag that runs too deep into the cultural history of Japan and just has so many layers to peel.

    About the technical time-outs at 8 and 16: they were used a lot a few years ago, mainly for television's sake. Knowing there will be at least 2 time outs, they could sell adv spaces. Now even high caliber matches are mostly played without those time-outs

    In Japanese culture people will refer to each other either by first or last name depending on their relationship, age, and social standing. Since Nishinoya (Yuu) and Tanaka (Ryuunosuke- Ryuu for short) are the same age and are close friends he calls Tanaka Ryuu because it's Tanaka's first name. And Tanaka calls him Yuu or Noya because that's Nishinoya's first name or the nickname for his last name. Shows their close relationship as friends. So you have to pay attention to both when watching anime. They show it as Last Name and then First Name. Except in Dubbed anime/shows they might show it the way we do it in English. Also, sometimes in English dubs they will only use first names of characters because we don't have the same rules around names and only use first names among friends. It can be confusing at first but once you get used to it it's very useful to see who uses what name and when. Tells you a lot about the relationships between the characters and fun to learn about the different cultural rules.

    Here is an explanation of "Benkei".
    Shiratorizawa's ace, Ushijima Wakatoshi, has been given the nickname "Ushiwaka". This is not only made up from his own name, but it is derived from the name of a very famous samurai.
    Benkei is the name of one of Ushiwaka's subordinate samurai, who is also very famous in Japan. Benkei had a large and rugged image, so Hinata gave Leon that nickname.

    I love your insights, seriously. I cannot express enough how much my eyes have opened now. Before it was so natural for Suga to just sub for Kageyama or Hinata, or Tsukki. But after learning how to score keep for volleyball and actually play volleyball and experience what they are experiencing- it's amazing how much work and effort actually goes in this anime. Like the occasional quick scene of Noya not getting the ball (when the ball goes way out the court or falls right at the net). It's so relatable. Thinking about how Suga subbed for Tsukki just blows my mind away. He can't sub for Kageyama if he needs it. Kageyama has no safety net to fall to. I- I just feel mind blownnn right nowwww!!! When they call the ball out but it goes in, hesitating to get the ball, making mistakes- I LOVE THIS ANIMEEE AHHHHHH

    i'm born chinese!! the japanese form they use in this show (and a lot of animes) is called kanji which shares about more than half of its characters with chinese hanzi. when i first started haikyuu i saw a lot of the kanji used for the character names and schools and really furudate put a lot of effort into naming them.
    for example - hinata (日向) has the characters for facing towards the sun and can mean a sunny place, while shoyo (翔陽) quite literally means flying sun. the prefix hina- in kanji also refers to him being young and possibly inexperienced (which is how he starts this series.)

      For different reasons though. This season is only 10 episodes, so they had a bigger budget per episode to add extra detail and smoother animation. Season 4 kinda goes the other way, back to a full 25 episodes, but they simplified the art style to make it easier to animate. Most people agree that season 4's art doesn't look as good as the first 3, but the animation is still high quality.

    Benkei explanation: So the Ushijima's nickname is Ushiwaka. Ushiwaka(maru) is also the nickname of one of the most legendary samurai in Japanese history. His right hand man was a man named Benkei. So when Hinata see Leon, he realizes that he must be Shiratorizawa's Ushiwaka's right hand man so he mentally dubs him Benkei. And then is shocked when he has an ordinary name like Leon. This is a joke that most non Japanese people will not get but I am grateful that the subbers didn't try to Americanize or Westernize it and left it as is. The more you know.

    • @bdylp1098

    to answer your questions: there's romances in anime, just not haikyuu. hinata and karasuno's jouney is what we see and just sometimes we get some romance (tanaka with kyoko or michimiya with daichi) because, after all, they're still teenagers who have crushes and relationships.
    noya called tanaka ryu cause it's his first name and they're close friends. in japan people call each other by their family names/last names unless they're close (then they call each other by their first names o nicknames like iwa or noya)
    the animation here 9:16 is the typical art style of shojo animes (for teenage girls) i know it's stereotyped and cliche, but they tend to make shojo animes with that cute and "girly" art style. i guess they used it to emphasize their little fantasy lol. however, as you said the animation changed a bit this season

You wrote "but shiratori can be read as swan", but it can ONLY "be read as swan" when it's read as "hakuchou". As long as it's read "shiratori", it DOESN'T explicitly mean swan.

    The reason why Karasuno starts so off its because (aside from the fact that its their first final and their first time against shiratorizawa) its their first time going against a spiker who is left handed. As per the show (though you might know more about this than us) they need to adjust to a left handed spiker since the spin and timing is different than a right handed one. Not only that but Ushiwaka is also very strong and well trained.
    You missed the part where Noya tells the team to give him 3 chances and after he will adjust to him being left handed. As you know, Karasuno had scouted Shiratorizawa and knew he would be an difficult opponent. Noya reassures his team mates at the meeting that he will be able to handle him and he does it again at the court by telling them he only needs 3 chances, and he actually delivers! The 4th time he gets the ball. Its a great little hero moment from Noya, I'm kinda sad Vic missed it :(

Watching Nishinoya struggle with that is so excruciating to watch. Liberos are the best defenders. If they can't get it, who can? I sometimes think "I hate being a lib", "I don't want to serve receive", "This is so stressful." But watching Noya be so positive, I think it's unrealistic, but something I should strive to achieve. "I want the ball", "I'll get the next one", "I can do this". It's inspiring. And knowing that you are a libero, I can see the pain and empathy in those grimaces of yours ahahaha.

    The Benkei joke is a bit involved. Ushijima Wakatoshi's nickname, as you know, is Ushiwaka, since it is a portmanteau of his first and last names. The thing to note is that there is a real historical figure named Ushiwakamaru, who was a military commander in Japan during the Heian period. Ushiwakamaru had a loyal bodyguard named Benkei, who was a famous warrior monk in his own right. I think the joke is just that Shiratorizawa's #4 looks like a monk, and is on the same team as Ushiwaka. Maybe it goes deeper than that, but that's what I know.
