Tsukkishima was reading the volleyball magazin. Learning about the opponents. This little scene is often overlooked but it just shows that tsukki does care !!
I like to believe that 80 years later, Hinata and Kageyama are still gonna be keeping a tally over their wins and losses. And Kageyama will never count that first one, and Hinata always will.
I mean, he made her team even despite her dislike of him; I don't think she'll begrudge him for recognizing that Oikawa is a good player! If he makes it to the bro house, however... 🤣😂
Sarah is UNREAL with names. Is she like that IRL too? Ive seen this entire series like 6 times and still cant remember most of the side character names. When Sarah did her solo watchthrough she would remember every character's name *that episode* and I remember being so shocked about it
It's a real life thing. She doesn't forget anything. It's actually crazy. She is like that with her own matches. She can almost recap an entire match. It's really impressive.
Japan has 47 prefectures.Each of the 47 prefectures has at least one representative spot for the tournament. Four prefectures have double representation due to their size, which are Tokyo, Kanagawa, Osaka and Hokkaido in real life and Tokyo, Kanagawa, Aichi and Hokkaido in the story. Tokyo gets an additional spot for being the host prefecture, totaling in three representative schools. The total number of participating schools is 52.
Is this what @SpitballIdea meant when he said I was being mean? I need to bring the spice 🌶️ every now and then... I love this man more than anything, and he knows that 💕
It's so funny, it never crossed my mind when I first watched this episode that it could be Shimizu and Yamaguchi going on a date until I started watching reactions 😂 I love that Ukai ended up in the Bro House. It makes sense - the coach understands the coach! I am super excited to see what you think of the upcoming episode.
Okay, but I hella appreciate Adam taking the time to note that it's over after one game and how much stress that would put on a coach. I've seen haikyuu so many times and I've literally never thought about that before. And I LOVE every time Sarah looks at the camera referencing something she can't talk about. There's just so many gems you get to appreciate with a rewatch
After watching this show so many times, I just realized now that in the same episode Ukai mentioned not letting other people call them "flightless crows" anymore and then Kiyoko showed up with the "Fly" banner. That's so meaningful. It's almost like a symbolism saying that this team will definitely take off.
Love the banter (in ‘British accent’, of course) this episode lol. Great call by Adam on drafting Ukai for the Bro House. I have a feeling his house will end up more consistently filled with great personalities than Sarah’s 😂. As for Adam wanting to see training sequences, they are coming so just a little patience. And congrats on proving your marriage credentials by making the same ‘mistake’ about Kiyoko and Yamaguchi.
am honestly shocked Takeda sensei isnt in the love or bro how.. he knows nothing about volleyball but is hustling his butt off for the team and is so underated as a motivation for the team
I have been rewatching some of the previous episodes and I really love how much attention Coach Ukai and Takeda are getting from you guys. Great episode I'll be looking forward to every week until the show is over.
@@SarahPavanVolleyball One thing that I didn't realize until I was rewatching is that Ukai isn't getting paid to coach. At all. Takeda is the advisor so he's paid by the school (but probably not much beyond his salary as a teacher) but Ukai is not on the school's payroll. So I love that Adam put him in the bro house.
@@SarahPavanVolleyball Every person who's seen the show is right there with you; we all wait for the same thing when watching a new person experience the show for the first time XD
I can't think of anything super volleyball to say except the banner's are usually one of my favorite things about EVERY TEAM! they usually embody the symbolism, aura, themes, philosophy and even a bit of insight to the teams play style. I cant wait to hear Adam's 2 cents about every teams strategies, compositions, and player. Ugh! i"m thinking of all the banners! so excited! So far we've seen connect( nekoma) and fly(our guys)
With this episode we begin the section of "episodes that almost or directly make us cry"?? Anyway I can't believe Adam completely ignored Michimiya and Daichi's interaction but he paid extra attention to Yamaguchi and Shimizu's nonexistent ship ahshshs it was so funny. I'm glad to see that Ukai is in the Bro House, now, if you want to have Kenma there, you must invite Kuroo because he won't leave the little cat alone ahshshs
15:19 adam is so real my first haikyuu love house character was daichi 20:10 i love how kageyama appears scary here but in reality what he's drinking here is milk 😭😭😭 that's adorable
37:51 btw this is not a sign that she's into Daichi. I mean, she's definitely into Daichi and admires him a lot but if you've seen the next episode, that charm is her jersey and number.
@@SarahPavanVolleyball Oh, I'm just countering Adam's remark of "She's all about Daichi" when he saw that volleyball jersey charm on her bag, if I interpreted that correctly.
I feel like the reason why so many people never assumed Yamaguchi and Kiyoko were going on a secret date but you two did might be because they've seen enough anime to know the general tropes when it comes to romance. Unless its a romance anime specifically, the "pretty hard to approach upperclassmen" type character would basically never go out with a freshman, especially if they have been primarily a background character so far. Anime that don't focus on romance will rarely have couples officially form until some end-of-series "x years later" epilogue.
@@adamschulz9475it does happen but it’s typically not just sprung on you like it would happen in this episode. It’s almost never nuanced and pretty obvious in animes. But romance is in Haikyuu at some point
@@neighborhoodk3477 I have zero context for what will be included in the show, it just seems obvious lol. But that is interesting that it generally doesn't happen.
@@adamschulz9475 for Shonen anime it normally doesn’t. Shonen targets 10-16 just about so it’s not a main focus. You’ll find that in the 10-16 girls animes called Shojo
it's hilarious how you two came to the same (wrong) conclusion about shimizu and yamaguchi😂 I love that Ukai has made the Bro House! I've always thought that he and Takeda were great and I love seeing people appreciate them!! Ukai is just a 26 year old guy (born in 1986 according to the official guidebook and the series takes place from 2012-2013) dedicating his time to these boys and Takeda is just a faculty supervisor that knows nothing about volleyball, but both are doing their best to give the boys their best shot at Nationals! I love them so much🥰 I think Sarah should definitely add characters to her love house retroactively! Now that you're on a second watch, you'll be able to get a better read on characters than your first go 'round.
this episode is all great but I simply LOVE the part when daichi is givin the speech in 37:37 anda suga taps Ryu's hand cause he's doing the V I just love our "mom" suga
12:05 Japan has 47 prefectures (including 3 administrative units under other names)l! Close enough, Sarah :"D So a national tournament would have ~100 teams in total with guys and girls, since Tokyo + hosting prefecture usually get extra spots.
Plus Tokyo and a few other prefectures get two representatives as well because of their sheer size, yeah? Iirc there are 52 teams in the tournament generally, except for the year that's shown in the anime actually- because the place where the Spring Tournament is usually held was undergoing repairs, it was held in another place, and that prefecture got another rep as well, though Tokyo got to keep their third.
Close, but I think it’s 43 ‘regular’ prefectures and 4 ‘special’ prefectures (Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto, Hokkaido) for a total of 47 prefecture-type administrative units. So almost analogous to the 50 U.S. States, but not quite. Plus, total Japanese national population is roughly 1/3 that of the US (very dense population in Japan, given the territorial size difference). So maybe think of Japan’s national stuff to be 1/3~1/2 the scale of American national stuff?
@@YoonbeenParkYes, population wise, US is bigger, I wonder about the boys volleyball team counts. I have a feeling boys volleyball is more popular in Japan. Looking at just the boys volleyball team population it may be closer... don't know. Just curious.
Sarah's face when Adam suggested that Shimada's probably only in a couple of episodes was great. Do not underestimate this side character's commitment to high school volleyball! (I love Shimada, really.)
Adam has such a deep understanding of the characters to have pick up on the subtle shimizu x yamaguchi romance. Truly a master showing his skills. So proud
Adding Coach Ukai to the Bro House immediately elevated my perception of Adam. And I thought he couldn't do much better than what he did so far! Let's gooo! Also, can't wait till he gets to THAT line. 👀
You can add him now!! Ukai can move into the love house immediately 😂 he won’t know what to do without having to stop all his boys from being chaos gremlins
@@SarahPavanVolleyballYou should be, experiencing a story for the second time gives a better feel for characters than the first so new additions should be more than acceptable. Plus it's fun to think about new favourites on rewatchs.
@@SarahPavanVolleyball Why not? It might be Adam first watch but it's your first rewatch, lot of people pick up stuff on rewatch (and Haikyuu is one of the anime where it gets better with rewatches) so of course you should be able to.
I was not ready for Adam's "PTSD!" out of nowhere 😂 Yep, episode 16 is coming and we are anxiously waiting. Just finished rewatching all your solo reaction videos! Gold.
Seeing this in my feed always puts a smile on my face 😊 You guys are the best duo to react (in Sarah’s case, re-react) to this show! The discussion of who was in/criteria for, the love house and bro house CRACKED me up 😂
Remember that in march previous third years would have retired so they played dateko with only 8 players and even one middle blocker (Narita), no wonder they didn’t perform like they could, they had one player out of position!
The moment I saw this on my update youtube page ... I kid you not, made me face light up immediately Thank you so much, for sharing your thoughts and my love for Haikyuu and sport :D
One of my favorite scenes in the whole anime is the “Fly” banner, not just how touching the situation is but how ridiculous the tears squirt out of the eyes 😂😂
25:19 there, it was not Daichi, Adam.. It was Ennoshita, a second year same with Tanaka, He also said" just while you are thinking about these dumb stuff, i just might take your place as a regular"
Sarah, please, I need to see Adam's reaction to so many moments in this anime, there are many, I need to see it as soon as possible hahaha. They are the best couple watching the best anime, thanks to both of them. I look forward to all the chapters. Big hug♥
In this episode, you can also see Kageyama already knew how far he wants to go as a volleyball player. That explains all of his actions, how eager he was, is, and will to be the best.
I can't believe adam didn't feel anything when my otp daichi×michimiya (aka soulmates) were together during that captain bonding scene but then came up with the non-existent ship of yamaguchi and kiyoko which I've never seen outside of this channel (lol sarah sorry) before😂😂 but that just shows you two are on the same wavelength🤝
Kinda surprised that Adam didn’t flag Kageyama’s eagerness to learn Asahi’s preferred set, but I know there’s a lot going on 😂 I love these slice of life episodes where you just get the world building and character interactions with each other. It’s one of the things Haikyuu does best in comparison to other sports anime imo. Also I don’t know if it’s the music or that I’ve watched Haikyuu too many times but Hinata counting his first loss to Kageyama and Kageyama saying they’re taking their first step to their goals of being the best TOGETHER kinda chokes me up a bit every time
I agree with Adam, I didn't realize that Shimizu and Yamaguchi had a secret date. Thanks Adam for giving me this clarification. you are the best brother
Yay! Such a good set up episode! We see all the characters getting ready and doing different things to better themselves and encourage each other! I have to admit one of my favorite episodes is 'Winners and Losers' so I'm looking forward to what's next!
27:48 idk if you're down for it but you guys should had a bro's and love's(a remake) house per seasons, because for each season we get into more characters and characters dev
I love to see Ukai being appreciated as a coach! Especially if the one doing it is another coach. Ukai is seriously the best and I can’t wait to see Adam reacting to him growing as a coach as well!
@@SarahPavanVolleyball Oh you bet! I loved Ukai ending up in the bro house. Well deserved, honestly. I hope Takeda makes it in there too. I'm actually really surprised Takeda didn't make the love house, in fact!
Oh and same with Kiyoko and a certain little cutie actually! Did neither of them officially make it into the love house? I doubt they'll make it into the bro house, given... well ya know, it's a "bro" house, but I know you do love both of those characters a lot.
Sarah, Adam, after you've finished all seasons, would you consider reading the Haikyuu!! manga? It is soooooo good and there are so many extra bits and pieces that the anime couldn't cover. :)
@@adamschulz9475 this made my entire day!! Hopefully you and Sarah can share your thoughts about it too, especially when the manga starts to cover events that the anime hasn't yet 😊 Hope you enjoy!
@@adamschulz9475 that's fast!! hehe be careful not to read too far before you finish the anime. Personally i'm more of a manga guy but there are some anime that I like it more watching than reading. But after anime, I really recommend the manga, so much more story there. Plus I think the finale for the anime will not cover the very last part of the manga (which I think is important for my closure haha)
Adam is awesome :) Love the insight, all the comments, but first of all amazing personality - from what one can tell from watching a video :) Keep up the together videos, guys, amazing series :)
I love your discussions so much. You disagree a lot sometimes, but you know each other so well, that you know exactly how the other one means it. It's a lot of fun watching you guys think and interact, which is the most important thing for a reaction (and analysis) channel. Healthy marriage goals
I justvwanna say, im watching this right now while riding in a jeepney from university and I was so tiredm this really brought a smile to my face with my 2 hour travel time
As I recall it there are 47 prefectures. 4 of them send an extra team and the hosting prefectures gets an extra entry for a total of 52 teams in the Nationals.
Fun-fact (maybe kind of bragging?): an acquaintance of mine is the official Brazilian voice for Michimiya (though I still prefer to watch anime with subtitles). 😂
“Mine probably won’t be as fun, but the people in it will look good” 😭😭 Also obligatory Adam what were you thinking with Yamaguchi and Kiyoko??? (that’s for you, Sarah lol)
I think it's really funny that Sarah totally forgot that she added Tanaka to her love house at the very end of the show (Season 4 episode 16 I think). That episode even made her top 5 favorite moments in season 4 lol
Hi. Love your videos. I tried to watch you at Nuvali today, Dec. 1, but we were not allowed at court 3. We were only allowed at center court. Sad. Anyway, hope you had a great game.
This is one of the best set up episodes in anime, the emotion and ramp up is great. One of my favorite things is Hinata counting the draw as a loss. Also Daichi knowing Kiyoko isn't done talking shows how well he knows/can read her. Adam don't worry, we get to see training.
@@nateperkins9860 and right after that he started talking about last year's tournament and how Kageyama's team destroyed his team. Why would he jump to that if that's not what he meant when he corrected Kageyama
@@cookiemonster6468 because otherwise he wouldn’t eliminate the draw. Like he could have just added the loss but whatever Kageyama views as a draw Hinata views as a loss
I was expecting so much a pause in the start, I was like when it's gonna be? 😂 I personally really like all of your insight, I look forward to it 🤗 By the way! I read you are going to a training camp I think? I'll pray for your safety and have a nice time there!!😊
i lIke it that adam takes a prediction for the matches and say that he thinks they come to round 3 (or did he said they will win 3 rounds?) .....but I like it that the prediction goes a little bit further than just: they win the next round :)
The two of you are entirely too cute. I could definitely imagine you two having a similar exchange to Daichi and Michimiya's chest punch/face slap conversation closer.
Mirin is Japanese rice wine for cooking and it very frequently comes in glass bottles, so I always wonder how Ukkai didn't break his foot by dropping a case of the stuff on it like that. 😂
As soon as Adam said something about the date your head spun so fast! I remember so upset when you thought the goddess would date someone who can't even serve. And then adams predictions of the upcoming games!! 🤐🤐🤐
Funny detail: of all the First-year Karasuno Hinata is the oldest, Kageyama is the youngest.
Whelp - Adam thinking Yamaguchi and Kiyoko were having a thing proves that Adam and Sarah are OTP
That really made me feel seen hahaha
@@SarahPavanVolleyballI LEGIT thought the same thing when I first watched this series
TBF, I think they intentionally set up those two having “something” to do on the same night specifically for the misdirection.
Sarah and Adam: He was a boy, she was a girl, can I make it any more obvious.
@@Ny333OST Throwing lyrics hahaha 😂
Tsukkishima was reading the volleyball magazin. Learning about the opponents. This little scene is often overlooked but it just shows that tsukki does care !!
the bantering is hilarious because theyre usually both correct in what theyre saying, but theyre just misunderstanding eachother HAHAHHH
Marry me
I like to believe that 80 years later, Hinata and Kageyama are still gonna be keeping a tally over their wins and losses. And Kageyama will never count that first one, and Hinata always will.
I already know Oikawa is going to make Adam's team and I can't wait to see Sarah's reaction. 😂
It'll be war.
I mean, he made her team even despite her dislike of him; I don't think she'll begrudge him for recognizing that Oikawa is a good player! If he makes it to the bro house, however... 🤣😂
@@MasterPpv I hope he makes the team and the bro house haha

@@SarahPavanVolleyballhe was right tho. 😊

Me: [Knowing that what he says has no basis in the source material at all.]
Also me: Tell us more, sensei.
I think it will be true this time on account of Adam bro power changing the canon.
and after that day yamaguchi goes to the new teacher .... ! and shimizu has done the banner after that! ... ha

Yep, episode 16 is coming and we are anxiously waiting. Just finished rewatching all your solo reaction videos! Gold.
Hilarious that Haikyu has taken over Adam’s life
Adam had me cracking up this episode
Ukai in the Bro House BABY
Seeing this in my feed always puts a smile on my face 😊 You guys are the best duo to react (in Sarah’s case, re-react) to this show!
The discussion of who was in/criteria for, the love house and bro house CRACKED me up 😂
Remember that in march previous third years would have retired so they played dateko with only 8 players and even one middle blocker (Narita), no wonder they didn’t perform like they could, they had one player out of position!
The moment I saw this on my update youtube page ... I kid you not, made me face light up immediately
Thank you so much, for sharing your thoughts and my love for Haikyuu and sport :D
One of my favorite scenes in the whole anime is the “Fly” banner, not just how touching the situation is but how ridiculous the tears squirt out of the eyes 😂😂
25:19 there, it was not Daichi, Adam.. It was Ennoshita, a second year same with Tanaka,
He also said" just while you are thinking about these dumb stuff, i just might take your place as a regular"
Sarah, please, I need to see Adam's reaction to so many moments in this anime, there are many, I need to see it as soon as possible hahaha. They are the best couple watching the best anime, thanks to both of them. I look forward to all the chapters. Big hug♥
YES oh my god i dont care if it takes an hour i need to see them all LMAOO
In this episode, you can also see Kageyama already knew how far he wants to go as a volleyball player. That explains all of his actions, how eager he was, is, and will to be the best.
I can't believe adam didn't feel anything when my otp daichi×michimiya (aka soulmates) were together during that captain bonding scene but then came up with the non-existent ship of yamaguchi and kiyoko which I've never seen outside of this channel (lol sarah sorry) before😂😂 but that just shows you two are on the same wavelength🤝
Kinda surprised that Adam didn’t flag Kageyama’s eagerness to learn Asahi’s preferred set, but I know there’s a lot going on 😂
I love these slice of life episodes where you just get the world building and character interactions with each other. It’s one of the things Haikyuu does best in comparison to other sports anime imo. Also I don’t know if it’s the music or that I’ve watched Haikyuu too many times but Hinata counting his first loss to Kageyama and Kageyama saying they’re taking their first step to their goals of being the best TOGETHER kinda chokes me up a bit every time
YES!!! It's such a small part of the episode but I love that part so much!!!
Absolutely loving you two watching together! Adam has been so fun in the vids!! He is definitely in my bro house 😤👊
I agree with Adam, I didn't realize that Shimizu and Yamaguchi had a secret date. Thanks Adam for giving me this clarification. you are the best brother
Yay! Such a good set up episode! We see all the characters getting ready and doing different things to better themselves and encourage each other! I have to admit one of my favorite episodes is 'Winners and Losers' so I'm looking forward to what's next!
What a great predictions from adam, specially the yamaguchi-kiyoko one! 🤣
Daichi: I'm sorry! Didn't meanto preach!
Me: PREACH! PREACH BROTHER!
To watch ppl who have volleyball background reaction is so satisfied!😂
And once a week is not enough when is the official match!
27:48 idk if you're down for it but you guys should had a bro's and love's(a remake) house per seasons, because for each season we get into more characters and characters dev
This is true. Spoiler for Adam:

Tsukki was on my bro house for the s3!!! i fcking cry on that ep
I love to see Ukai being appreciated as a coach! Especially if the one doing it is another coach.
Ukai is seriously the best and I can’t wait to see Adam reacting to him growing as a coach as well!
Oooh perfect timing, just got done with work! ❤
Hope you enjoyed it!
@@SarahPavanVolleyball Oh you bet! I loved Ukai ending up in the bro house. Well deserved, honestly. I hope Takeda makes it in there too. I'm actually really surprised Takeda didn't make the love house, in fact!
Oh and same with Kiyoko and a certain little cutie actually! Did neither of them officially make it into the love house? I doubt they'll make it into the bro house, given... well ya know, it's a "bro" house, but I know you do love both of those characters a lot.
You know what? Maybe I should start over haha
Sarah, Adam, after you've finished all seasons, would you consider reading the Haikyuu!! manga? It is soooooo good and there are so many extra bits and pieces that the anime couldn't cover. :)
We have starting collecting the manga in order. We are both working through the first one currently.
@@adamschulz9475 this made my entire day!! Hopefully you and Sarah can share your thoughts about it too, especially when the manga starts to cover events that the anime hasn't yet 😊 Hope you enjoy!
@@ohcelinana Personally i'm just starting, still getting used to reading backwards lol, but I have enjoyed it so far.
@@adamschulz9475 that's fast!! hehe be careful not to read too far before you finish the anime. Personally i'm more of a manga guy but there are some anime that I like it more watching than reading. But after anime, I really recommend the manga, so much more story there. Plus I think the finale for the anime will not cover the very last part of the manga (which I think is important for my closure haha)
so happy ukai is in adams love shop. i was so sad when i found out his VA passed away, it wasn't the same to me after
Adam is awesome :) Love the insight, all the comments, but first of all amazing personality - from what one can tell from watching a video :) Keep up the together videos, guys, amazing series :)
I love your discussions so much. You disagree a lot sometimes, but you know each other so well, that you know exactly how the other one means it.
It's a lot of fun watching you guys think and interact, which is the most important thing for a reaction (and analysis) channel.
Healthy marriage goals
Cannot wait for the next episode with you guys. You're my favourite reactors ✨
I justvwanna say, im watching this right now while riding in a jeepney from university and I was so tiredm this really brought a smile to my face with my 2 hour travel time
I'm glad you made it safely!!
I am desperately waiting for Adam to see season 2 first half and season 4 first half and the depth that haikyuu goes to there
Oh Adam, what a smart prediction with Shimizu and Yamaguchi. Totally understandable that you'd think they were dating.
I CAN"T WAIT FOR NEXT EPISODEEEEEEE AHHHHHHH SOMEBODY HELPPPP
EDIT: Nevermind it's all good. It's episode 16 I was thinking of lol
Thanks for the Great reaction like always 😇
As I recall it there are 47 prefectures. 4 of them send an extra team and the hosting prefectures gets an extra entry for a total of 52 teams in the Nationals.
Fun-fact (maybe kind of bragging?): an acquaintance of mine is the official Brazilian voice for Michimiya (though I still prefer to watch anime with subtitles). 😂
I have so much love for this series. You guys are so interesting AND entertaining to listen to. Thanks so much!
“Mine probably won’t be as fun, but the people in it will look good” 😭😭
Also obligatory Adam what were you thinking with Yamaguchi and Kiyoko??? (that’s for you, Sarah lol)
i love the fantasy draft idea, amazing
i am so proud of Sarah knowing Shimada's name🤣
I think it's really funny that Sarah totally forgot that she added Tanaka to her love house at the very end of the show (Season 4 episode 16 I think). That episode even made her top 5 favorite moments in season 4 lol
動画が早く見たくてずっと待ってた😭
The moment that Sarah laughed, I was dying LMAO.
I love these two, they're just so adorable when they "argue" about something (probably it's 100x worse off camera but let me be happy)
This is adorable and awesome.❤ it is Very encouraging to see Examples of healthy couples nowadays.😊
Hi sarah, we love your reactions hahahaha
Hi. Love your videos. I tried to watch you at Nuvali today, Dec. 1, but we were not allowed at court 3. We were only allowed at center court. Sad. Anyway, hope you had a great game.
This is one of the best set up episodes in anime, the emotion and ramp up is great. One of my favorite things is Hinata counting the draw as a loss. Also Daichi knowing Kiyoko isn't done talking shows how well he knows/can read her.
Adam don't worry, we get to see training.
This one gets the emotions flowing, for sure!!!
Wait, Hinata didn't count the draw as a loss, did he? He counted the loss from last year's tournament.
@@cookiemonster6468 Kageyama said 31 wins 30 losses and a draw, Hinata said 30 wins 32 losses
@@nateperkins9860 and right after that he started talking about last year's tournament and how Kageyama's team destroyed his team. Why would he jump to that if that's not what he meant when he corrected Kageyama
@@cookiemonster6468 because otherwise he wouldn’t eliminate the draw. Like he could have just added the loss but whatever Kageyama views as a draw Hinata views as a loss
omg cant wait for these reactions 😭😭
I can't stop laughing at 35:37
I think I'm dying, Sara's face is killing me
I was expecting so much a pause in the start, I was like when it's gonna be? 😂 I personally really like all of your insight, I look forward to it 🤗
By the way! I read you are going to a training camp I think? I'll pray for your safety and have a nice time there!!😊
謝謝！
Amy, you’re such a sweetheart. Thank you!
Almost cried at bus, thank you guys
omg!! thanks for this episode!!
For real I was about to comment here about Sarah's prediction in her first watch about Kiyoko and Yamaguchi haha but Adam did the same thing!!
That literally made me so happy hahahah
27:30 “I hope he likes IPAs…”
i lIke it that adam takes a prediction for the matches and say that he thinks they come to round 3 (or did he said they will win 3 rounds?) .....but I like it that the prediction goes a little bit further than just: they win the next round :)
The two of you are entirely too cute. I could definitely imagine you two having a similar exchange to Daichi and Michimiya's chest punch/face slap conversation closer.
Mirin is Japanese rice wine for cooking and it very frequently comes in glass bottles, so I always wonder how Ukkai didn't break his foot by dropping a case of the stuff on it like that. 😂
I wanna say thank you so much for russian subs, Sarah
I really love u both
As soon as Adam said something about the date your head spun so fast! I remember so upset when you thought the goddess would date someone who can't even serve.
And then adams predictions of the upcoming games!! 🤐🤐🤐
