    I think Kenma, as an analytical person thinks it's impossible for him to feel the excitement and reckless desire like Tora and Hinata. I like how he look at things he doesn't understand or people who are so different then him and think this is something admirable and interesting. As a video gamer he looks at "guts" as an "ultimate move", he really values it even more then strategy or skill. I think that's the cutest thing.

    I think they explained earlier in the season that they use

    B-pass to refer to passes that are around the 3 meter line, so the setter has to move a little to set

    I think Kenma's fascination of Hinata comes from his gamer's attitude. As a gamer he sees and analyzes his opponent's mechanics and tries to shut it down and outplay them. But in case of Hinata, every time Kenma found a way to stop Hinata's "mechanics", Hinata can overcome this and create another mechanics that will become a challenge to Kenma and so the loop goes on. Though this is my own interpretation of Kenma's remark as Hinata being a "super boss."

    • @mely1022

      I’m led to remember that diagram Kenma has of Hinata where both Hinata’s legs and his head were labeled something to the effect of “unknown/unpredictable” which for some reason is extremely funny.

  • @taylordlongcrow
    @taylordlongcrow 2 роки тому +332

    I believe Kenma's reverence for Hinata comes originally from his fast quick which reminded him of a move from a video game it was so ridiculous; even though the rest of Hinata's fundamentals were lacking he could change the game with that one move. Secondly, after the training camp, Hinata's rapid evolution and improvement in all aspects of his game makes Kenma think of him as someone who's not going to stop moving until they are the best (like a video game character, someone unrealistic), and that he has to keep up with him and come up with a strategy to beat him at the same time. Kenma is the most observant player on the court, so it's blinding how fast Hinata is improving because he's seen such dramatic changes in the course of one year, so he thinks of him as a Final Boss, like he's someone from a video game. This also reaches to the rest of Karasuno, Kenma sees them all as ridiculous team that never stops being aggressive even when they're exhausted, and improves at a fast rate as well.

    I see what you mean about Kenma-Tora reminding you of Kageyama-Hinata! they actually remind me of the Kunimi-Kageyama conflict too. you might not remember Kunimi by name, but he's Kageyama's teammate from middle school who is now playing on Seijoh with Oikawa. Kunimi was the guy who was putting in low effort most of the time, but toward the end of the game, he worked harder because he had the most energy left. Kageyama hated him for not trying hard enough, but imo they just have different life/game philosophies.

    The best thing about the dichotomy between Kenma and Tora is how they dyed their hair, Tora dyes it blonde in the middle, while Kenma dies the roots. It's nice allegory to the idea that while they are quite different, together they are stronger as they fill in each others gaps.
    It's also established in the flashbacks that they don't die their hair until they actually become friends, and Tora who see's Kenma as a friend first also dies his hair first.

  • @MrBKBills
    @MrBKBills 2 роки тому +3

    Also think that Kenma’s strategy to throw off the blockers is based around the fact that Nekoma realizes they are trying to tire out Kenma. Since Sarukawa “smelled blood” they think they’re close and believe that Kenma is at his limit, however Kenma is smart enough to abuse that by making Sarukawa believe that he will go for the easy set like Kuroo or Lev because the receive is off, but instead set to the opposite after luring them in.

    27:07 Anytime the camera is focusing on a character with someone monologing in the background, it means that the person being focused on is talking or being talked about. I don't blame you for not knowing who's talking because that's a very anime-related thing that shouldn't be expected to translate over to a non-anime watcher.

    coach, the reason sarukawas coach aritaka didnt change the gameplan is because he is banking on a war of atrition in which he has confidence his team can at least beat kenma in stamina. He didnt feel the need to adapt especially since he couldnt know nekomas strategy. thats why instead of the match ending in a battle of concepts like most of karasunos this one ended with nekoma running a normal play and surprising the opponents. love your content keep going coach.

    24:45 I kind of interpreted the phrasing of "at that level, its all mental" as the fact these athletes are doing the necessary physical training is a given. No one at those levels are slacking physically, and the commentators saying it are certainly not believing that an out of shape player with a good mental game would be able to do the same things as someone that keeps up their training. What they are saying, in my opinion, is that once athletes get to a certain physical point, it is the mental side that is what elevates them further.
    However, I can understand the frustrations of how the phrase at its face value, as well as combined with the ignorance that some of the people that say the phrase, can come off.

Way back, I didn't know anything much about Japan's V. League(and even about volleyball, tbrh) but I enjoyed watching the whole match because of Haikyuu references.

    I don't think that Kenma lacks physical effort. If he did, he wouldn't be a very good setter at all, and as Tora says, while he doesn't go as hard or as fast in training. He never gives up, he does always see it through. (Which was what his flashback was about. Him remembering times that Kenma yes finished last during training (jogging and weights), but he always finished. Also it was Tora's flashback, you can tell by the voice and the slow zoom on him as it starts which is a typical indicator in anime.) Like most character's in Haikyuu, Kenma hates losing.

      It's easy to forget since we're used to it, but visual cues like that don't go over too well if you're watching a medium you're unfamiliar with. Coach Donny isn't a total normie who doesn't know a thing about anime, but he's not an avid watcher either. Understandably, things like this would be lost on him. It's probably difficult for him to just distinguish between voices. I know that sounds silly, but I guarantee you're forgetting what your early experiences watching subs were like. My mom struggles with the same thing whenever she tries to watch along with a show me and my brother are watching.

    The one thinking at 27:10 is Tora, you were right! Because Kenma isn't as invested in volleyball, he doesn't quite think of himself as equal to the rest of the team in regards to, in this case, "guts" - he thinks it's something beyond him. Tora, however, disagrees and stresses how Kenma always sees things through till the end, which he thinks is also a way of "showing guts" (he probably came to understand and value it after getting to know Kenma).
    Not quite sure if you caught it or not, but the surprise at Kenma's last toss and Fukunaga's "oh" is because the pass was off, and yet Kenma made the effort and jumped to set the ball as perfectly as he could despite his fatigue - Fukunaga was really moved by that :"D
    Really glad that you enjoyed this match and the themes it encompassed so much - makes me even more excited for the content to come, because Haikyuu just keeps getting deeper and deeper, more thought-provoking with each game.

    Definitely relate to feeling responsibility and getting more motivated when someone around you tries hard. I'm not an athlete, but I've experienced it a couple times at uni, where we'd have this rare prof who'd be very respectful to the students, going out of his/her way to make the classes interesting - and in this case even if I weren't as interested in the subject, I'd still put in way more effort than usual and do my best to score well just to kind of "pay back" the prof for their hard work. The same applies to classmates - even though studying isn't a team sport, on rare occasions we get ready for tests together, and I really wish there was someone as passionate about the subject as I am, cause I can tell that others aren't. Even though I don't have a competitive mindset or a passion to rival those of Kageyama and Hinata (so I can't say I relate to them well), in those moments I understand just how precious and insanely motivating that kind of partnership when both of you are just crazy about something can be.

    It's nice the show has someone like kenma among others to balance things out between the people who are real serious about the sport and the others who just kinda play it because why not. Part of what made this show relatable for me and more enjoyable

      I think his and Hirugami from Kamomedai's mini-arcs are just very well-written and add so much more depth and reality to the story. Not everyone who plays the sport loves it passionately, and they don't have to. And ppl can have very different motivations or ways to motivate themselves, and each of those is valid. But you don't see this side of sports very often in stories, and even when it's there it's often not in a positive/neutral light. So I really appreciate how it's shown in Haikyuu.

    I think Coach didnt pay attention that well to this ep. Who is talking? Who is refering to? I dont konw why was so confusing for him, maybe a little pause here and there to read the whole interaction. We like your comments but sometimes it is more importante to understand what is going on in the chapter. A lot of other reactors rewatch the previous episode before going on the next one so they have everything fresh.

    One of my favorite quotes from this season was when Kuroo says, "Looks like their plan was to tire out Kenma. Too bad we're Nekoma. We'll just get used to it". Which is cool because that is exactly Nekoma's play style. They have great defense, and adjust to what their opponents do in order to win.

  • @evergarden8535

    If I recall correctly, during their training arc together in season 2 (training camp), Kenma hinted at his fascination towards Hinata by saying something like "Shoyo always tries something new", and I feel like that's what makes him feel excited about the thought of playing him, perhaps because as a gamer he loves that extra-challenge to spark his excitement towards the game. Kuroo even asked Kenma if he'd feel more motivated if he played in the same team as Hinata, and Kenma said he'd never be able to, because he simply wouldn't be able to keep up with Hinata's demands, to which Kuroo replied that perhaps it was better if he remained a rival then. I absolutely love the relationship between Kenma and Hinata: they're total opposites in so many ways, and yet they became friends, and they both manage to keep challenging each other to grow.

    The first is where Sarukawa Tech comes to the collective realization that they thought the game was moving at their pace, but in actuality, Nekoma have been the ones in control the whole time despite appearances.
    The second is where Kenma takes the extra step on the last point, showcasing his growth as a player.

    I was confused about the passes for a while so I looked it up. Apparently it is a bit different depending what country but it refers to the quality of the passes towards the setter.
    A 3 or C-pass is a pass that is off the net and the setter has to move far to get it, limiting their options usually to wherever they’re facing.
    A 2 or a B-pass is a slightly better pass but the setter still has to adjust to get under it and does not have every option.
    A 1 or an A-pass is a perfect pass where a setter does not have to adjust much and can set all their options.
    Basically Nekoma has been "babying" their setter Kenma by giving him A passes as much as possible so he has to move very little in their game. Saruwaka's goal is to lower the quality of Nekoma's passes to a B or C in order to have Kenma run around as far as possible so he gets exhausted, while also limiting his setting options and making him predictable.

    Just a small observation. Coach you seem to be a bit more confused in these last few episodes. I believe it’s because you no longer edit the videos yourself. Previously you’d be brought up to snuff by the next video, whereas now you continue in the confusion. It definitely adds a different vibe to the reactions.
    I found it interesting how you were lost in the story (game score, person talking, etc), but was exactly where you needed to be emotionally at the crucial moments. I think that’s a testament to how integral the music and animation is to carrying this series almost as much as the writing.

    The people saying "Crush him" in that scene if you are still wondering are the Sarukawa players and the coach. They are so focused on the game plan that has worked for them all year that they forget to adjust imo. What I have to remind myself all the time (because its High School teams in Japan) is essentially all of these teams are like the equivalent of a state champ competing at nationals. Every match is like if the best team from Nebraska was playing against the best team that year from Kentucky or something like that. Its why all the teams are just THAT good!
    Also later in the episode the person speaking about Kenma is Tora (AKA Tenakas twin). He is saying that no matter what happened or who was watching the Kenma never quit or gave up. Even if he was last to finish in a drill, running or whatever it was, he never didn't see it through to the end. And that is why Tora thinks that Kenma does actually have guts. Even if Kenma doesn't think that he does, to Tora and the rest of his teammates, he has shown that he will work as hard as he can to see things through to the end. And thats having guts and determination.

    In case you're having trouble with anime inner monologues, look at the scene framing and see who the show's highlighting (Tora), and also in this case see who/where Tora's looking at to know who Tora's monologuing about (Kenma). Hopefully this helps if you can't recognize the character's voice. It's usually the spotlighted character

    If they win against Inarizaki, they will play Nekoma!! But they have to win this round first... also, I believe there is insight about what Kenma thinks about Hinata in the previous episode when the Nekoma 3rd years have a conversation in their hotel lobby. They said something to the affect of Kenma being unable to figure out Hinata yet as Hinata is such an excellent and athletic player who is always surprising others with his moves, and that motivates him in a similar way to how he becomes fixated on a video game, trying to figure out all the different levels and plays
