I don't think Kageyama and Hinata were able to meet with Grandpa Ukai earlier because he was still recovering in the hospital. He just got out recently and started coaching the little kids right away. That's why grandson Ukai made a comment on how the Grandpa should be still resting.
Exactly. After coming out of retirement, he went to Karasuno to coach but soon collapsed and probably have been in the hospital for many months until this episode. I love how he's still very into sharing and training younger ones to volleyball. That level of passion in any career is admirable.
I'm pretty sure that Kenshin (young Coach Ukai) mentionet at the end of 1st camp that Ukai senior was returning home (him being hospitalized was mentioned in s1)
@@Matixsb *Keishin
Gramps is Ikkei
@@Matixsb yeah, he said an annoying relative would be coming home lol
I hope the kids older ukai coaches wins nationals
6:40 Not sure if you noticed Coach! but that was “The Little Giant” that Coach Ukai saw when Hinata said “It is because I’m only this tall”
He saw the same in Hinata as he did with the Little Giant so he helped him and understood what he meant immediately
upping for this.
I got chills when I saw this the first time.
I still get chills when I see it.
@@mcfreshness I KNOW RIGHTTTT
@@mcfreshness I get the exact same feeling
Yaeh.. the little giant has black/dark hair coach
I love how in Oikawa's phone it's just pictures of his nephew being cute and sunsets lmao.
I think that was his nephews phone and not Oikawas
@@Jules-uq4vr i think it is Oikawa’s
i think its just the recent pictures because they hung out on that day
@@Jules-uq4vr oikawa taught the nephew Takeru on how to take a picture, obviously it was Oikawa's. If it was the nephew, he would've knew how to
he probably sends progress pics to his sister lol
Oikawa is like Nishinoya, when their off the court they are bombastic and energetic (Oikawa is just meaner), but when they're on court Nishinoya goes silent, and Oikawa becomes an actual captain where he knows what to tell his players and knows how to destroy his opponents
12:50 Also the scene where you see Oikawa's photo gallery when he was seeing his blurry image, you would think it would be full of pictures of himself BUT NO, its filled with pictures of his nephew (and one selfie cause ofcourse) which is adorable
I never noticed the photo gallery thing! Just reinforces how the persona is for show
@@wpack10 well those were recent pictures tho. And they were hanging out that day
One of the most interesting things in this episode is how Oikawa basically said the exact same thing as Coach Ukai which is that the hitter is in control of the attack, not the setter. I think Oikawa is the better setter compared to Kageyama at this point because he understands this and plays by this principle.
agreed
I'm interested tho, as to why Oikawa thinks that Kageyama is better at setting than him, as he said in season 1. Does he mean, setting, like Kageyama's skill to pinpoint his sets more accurately than him? Someone help me🤧
Like Oikawa is a better SETTER but Kageyama is better at SETTING/TOSSING?
@@StayFruityYall At the technical level, Kageyama is a far more skilled setter than he is; his tosses are very accurate, he's versatile, and he can toss from virtually anywhere. Oikawa acknowledged very early that Kageyama's ability to set the ball has a higher upper limit than his own, but Oikawa makes up for it in his game sense and his ability to provide the best sets to his teammates. However, those are things that can be learned with time and experience, so he knows that eventually Kageyama will catch up to and pass him in that regard as well. It's also why he doesn't particularly like helping Kageyama, as seen in this episode. He uses the excuse that he doesn't want to help an opponent, but in reality, he's trying to delay when Kageyama surpasses him.
@@StayFruityYall he said Kageyama is better than him at the accuracy of his sets, since Oikawa can't set that accurately. But Oikawa recognizes that, overall, he's a better setter than Kageyama, considering techniques, strategies and the diverse set-ups he offers for each teammate.
Isn’t miya atsumu the one in control of his attacks because of his play style? I remember in one episode he uses osamu as a decoy and tosses to suna and says “I can’t let them keep picking up my attacks” and suna retorts “but I’m the one who actually attacked” and atsumu just gave a knowing smile
They said Hinata got promoted because grandpa Ukai called him "Shrimpo" when he asked him to help. He got promoted from "Shrimpy" to "Shrimpo"
Like how 'Oikawa' got promoted from 'kpop'
Yeah he went from Chibisuke to Chibitarou (chibi means tiny in japanese)
That's one of those moments, where it's just easier to watch the dub I guess 😅
@@FiveOClockTea dubbed anime is a curse.
@@veritas5287 don't know about English dubs, but some of the German dubs are top tier. And especially with such action packed stories not having to read subtitles is preferable if you want to see everything that's happening on screen :-)
I love how Oikawa already figured out what Grandpa Ukai was telling Hinata about. That it's the hitter leading the attack, not the setter.
Our favourite k-pop setter ✨
I read hitter as hitler and I was confused for a minute
yas, this already speaks about how great of a setter oikawa is!
@@marriane4510 yes! He may not be a genius setter but he certainly is a skilled and wise setter
The most realistic characters in this anime for me is Oikawa and Yamaguchi.
The reason that grandpa Ukai retired in the first place was because he was hospitalized, and he decided he was getting too old for it. Ukai had been in the hospital up until now, which is why he hasn't been seen before this. Love the videos, can't wait for the next! (:
People like Oikawa for many reasons coach, yeah he’s not the nicest guy, but he’s really entertaining to watch, especially when he’s with his own team, he’s a good captain for them, and he’s very ambitious as a person, and he’s still definitely got a lot to learn, but that’s just another reason people love his character
Oikawa's character development also fun to watch, well everybody character development is amazing
Oikawa Is a very Deep and complex character. Usually People loves him and hate him for the wrong reasons. With a Little bit of effort you can really understand how much work was put to write him and how Much Work they put to define his character without that much screentime.
Oikawa is a character that people like in things like anime, basically fictional stories, but if they actually met him and had to interact with him they probably wouldn't like him as much.
Thank you for saying that. Oikawa is my fav player in all haikyuu and I get so emotional seeing him work so hard to prove himself. He's so funny and entertaining. Second to none, truly.
lot of oikawa defenders here
Fun fact: Oikawa's girlfriend broke up with him because she thought he was giving too much time for his volleyball club.
Yes lmao
As he should
spoiler, dont click read more who hasnt watched the complete anime
wasnt that the captain of the team who were fighting nekoma in one of the ovas?
@@ApetheWizard different guy

Cheesus fujoshis at their crap again
I don't want to be mean, but please don't let coach even have a slight insight of 'that' side of the fandom please.
Fujoshis please keep watch how much and where to speak what.
@@harshbitey4593 I totally agree 👍
Oikawa's the kind of character where people's reactions to him are either "love him" or "love to hate him" lol. In real life I think I'll be mildly annoyed at him, but in a fictional setting like this, little shits like him are very entertaining XDD. I find this quote somewhere, "outside the court, Oikawa is a prince. On the court, he is the King." And I think it sums him up very well. He plays around flamboyantly off-court, but is very serious, determined, and assertive on court. Oikawa is an excellent player that never neglects to practice hard individually AND find a healthy balance with his relationship with his teammates where he both allows his spikers to hit the tosses they like but also push them to their limits. About his flirting habits; Oikawa also never actually approach his fans either (it's always the girls that mob him first). He indulged them occasionally, but never to a point where it disturbs his job as team captain and setter. Like previously when he tries his fans' cookies before entering the gym, even without Iwaizumi to scold him I think he will enter on his own when the time comes for them to start warming up. He is plainly very admirable.
Not a spoiler. Daichi asked to use the other gym because he recognized that a lot of their players were practicing their own thing and so they needed more space.
Also, team A and B isn't a ranking, it's simply just to make a distinction between the two teams.
To be fair to Coach Donny- Team A is the set of regulars while B is like Yamaguchi and co, so I’m not surprised he noticed and commented on it
Thanks for pointing out the gym. Upping this. They even showed that the group watching the Brazil videos is in the girl's gym. I also love how they used this to show that Karasuno isn't that big compared to other schools that seem go have nets for days lol.
I think Ukai giving zero technical instruction is just off screen. At least he's yelling in the ops, lol.
Regarding Hinata's technique, in Japan often even people with poor technique can look pretty good. There's an old saying that "technique is stolen, not taught" so people are very attentive to form, but may not intellectually understand the reason or get results until later when they have more experience or instruction (which traditionally comes when you've shown you are dedicated enough to get the form on your own). The animators might have...exaggerated that a bit to save a little effort, lol.
It's also worth noting that Hinata didn't have much to do other than practice badic form for most of his 3 years of middle school, and he didn't have a coach so likely learned sheerly through imitating pros.
As my PE teacher said: You're trying it too elegantly
I also think the show is doing it to make volleyball look awesome lol like guys look how beautiful this playing is come to the gym! 😂
The other thing is they're showing it as if the youth have no interest with technology or social media which is where they mostly get to watch good players and steal their technique,
Hinata had no interest following the little giant to imitate or learn from him.. He was inspired once and that's it
There's only oikawa.. I'm sure he doesn't just watch videos from his enemies,.
I'm pretty sure everyone has really good technique because of using references. Animators (or basically any artist) use references to get things faster (specialy when it comes to thing that are really hard to aniamte like voleyball, the author might be a volleyball player but the animators actually doing the show don't) and they probably used pro volleyball players to use as reference because it's obviously more available. And they probably wanted to make them look cooler because it's still an anime.
This was the episode that made me start respecting Oikawa as even though he doesn't particularly like Kageyama, he still gave him solid advice (in his own bratty Oikawa way of course lol). The advice also shows why Oikawa is considered the best setter in their prefecture (even being recognized by Ushijima as being very talented). He is able to consistently give his hitters tosses that they want, not ones that he thinks they should get, which allows his hitters to shine. Anyway, thank you for your reactions Coach!!
"We usually have Mondays off" and "resting and skipping are two different things" are something Furudate picked up from an actual volleyball club. They were really impressed with the emphasis on having proper rest, and that school and their young coach in particular inspired them a lot in regards to Aobajousai, their philosophy and play style.
I think Haikyuu fan's view on Oikawa is pretty much "yes he is thrash, but he is OUR thrash" xD I recall somewhere that even the author said that Oikawa turned out to be a character with the most elegant features but with the most unelegant personality. All jokes aside I am looking forward to see how you view him in future episodes!
Oikawa definitely fits into the "kinda a trashy personality but super cool and charming to watch" trope, otherwise known as the "magnificent bastard" trope. I think lots of people also feel connected to his backstory, of feeling like they fundamentally lack that spark people call "genius" (like Ushiwaka & Kageyama), and yet becoming the best nonetheless through a fundamental understanding of the sport and his role on the team.
I think it's best to remember that younger Ukai is only in his 20's at this point. He was also not the best setter during his high school years so the fact that he knew little about tempos explains his inexperience and his attitude as a coach.
Also, old Ukai's health condition was the reason why he no longer coaches in Karasuno High School.
You need to remember how everyone reacted in last episode to Hinata hitting in the air with the Ace. They got influenced by Hinata ambition and wanna to develop themselves to not stay behind.
Hinata wasn't fully self tought he did train with the girls team in middle school
But only for at most half a year
@@FiveOClockTea That's Hinata's power, he learns physical skills quick.
@@FiveOClockTea at most I think it was 4 months
I think kageyama is just so innocent that he never take oikawa shit to the heart. Ahahha
Our blueberry king is so cute 🥺😂
Its beacause Oikawa's shit is not coming from a place of malice, its coming from his innocence as well. Thankfully Kageyama isnt immature as the lot that take Oikawa seriously.
@@kronikevaporation6007 yea tru
@@kronikevaporation6007 absolutely 💯 My boi oikawa needs more recognition too
@@kronikevaporation6007 Ok... but compared to the others Oikawa is kinda rough with Kageyama. Don't forget he tried to taint Kageyama's innocence once in middle school.
I love that they made Coach Ukai imperfect as a coach, he's still learning, he still needs help, and he grows with the team as well
You may hate Oikawa's vibe and attitude, but you can never dislike or go wrong with him as a player. He has the skill, the leadership, the ability to draw out 100% of his teammates, and the right kind of minset in volleyball. He just knows what he's doing.
People often forget that he’s not completely inexperienced. He was playing a lot with the women’s volleyball team in middle school. Wouldn’t surprise me if he learned proper form there.
I've actually wondered about this.
In the training/flashback montages in ep 1, we see Hinata hitting a volleyball against a wall while the girls team practiced, and then he ran over to Izumi to try and get some tosses when the girl's team left to go running. And then later, after the "first and last tournament" there's a voice-less montage where Hinata and the three 1st years bow and introduce themselves (or onegai-shimasu themselves or w/e) to the girls team. And then we also get some images of Hinata later training with a local adult women's rec team. (I will admit that I may have watched season 1 a ridiculous number of times)
Anyway, I was under the impression that Hinata was practicing mostly by himself, unless he managed to beg one of his friends for help. I didn't think that he joined the girls team (we see some classmates teasing him about this, and he denies it.) The way I personally pictured it, Hinata was a teenage boy who had this mental image of cool male volleyball that he was trying to live up to, and he was possibly embarrassed or ashamed to actually join the girls' team. It wasn't until the crushing loss in his 3rd year that he went and took his new first years and actually asked the girls' team for help.
... Or at least that was my initial impression! It's based off like 5 seconds of flashback still images... so I don't necessarily have much to stand on here.
When it comes to Hinata's technique, I always figured that he would have actually been a lot better come high school if he had practiced with the girls' team for 3 years. However, maybe he was embarrassed, maybe there were school rules or something, but whatever the case, I think Hinata basically spent 3 years hitting a ball against a wall by himself. (This is where I actually agree with Kageyama, lol). I think that after the middle school tournament Hinata became mature or realistic enough to realize that he needed to join an actual volleyball team, which is when he introduced himself to the girls and "moms" team.
I think the A and B team thing isn’t about ranking I think it’s just the sub teams they train with :)
You're right. It is. They divide Karasuno to Team A and Team B to play against each other. Basically, since Hinata & Kageyama are practicing 2 different things, Coach Ukai, separated them for the time being.
Yes! I was looking for a comment stating this. Its just to have the whole team play against each other. Many teams do this they just call it team A & B at Karasuno. I also don't think the same people are always practicing with each other, they mix it up between players on the team.
@Ay Fat we've seen in other episodes that Daichi was playing with Kinoshita, but in another one Kinoshita was with Ennoshita and Asahi against Daichi and Tanaka, so they do mix them up. It's just a random way to call them instead of red and yellow
The fact that Oikawa always makes sense by spitting facts when he's serious (and always serious when it comes to volleyball) is the reason why you can't totally hate him despite of his childishness. By the way, always looking forward to your reaction coach Donny.
Hi Coach! I just wanted to remind you that Coach Ukai (the younger) went from just a player on the local team to the "temporary" coach.. He stayed on because he fell in love with the boys and their potential and wanted to help. However, he has zero experience and is just kinda winging it as he goes, he's feeling his way along with the boys. I like the fact that they made him a little incompetent, it makes it more human. Can you imagine how the story would go if these boys had a perfect coach from the beginning?
Also, the edits are looking great! Did you have your "Trek up the mountain"? Anyway, your hard work is really showing! Thanks for the hard work!!
It is also important to remeber the time-frame. Even tho this is season 2, it's still the same school year as in season 1. Coach Ukai had very restricted time before the first tournament, so they worked on receives/passes as it was their weakest point. Without better receives/passing they wouldn't be able to get the ball up and do attacks. So, I think coach Ukai did it right, with focusing first on defense before offense. And now, they have more time to work more specifically and foster more induvidual growth. And coach Ukai has admitted to being inexperienced and not knowing how to always guide and teach the boys.
@@SerKir123 absolutely! It's not even been 3 months yet I think..
The Nekoma match is at the beginning of May (and Ukai had arrived about a week earlier), the prelims were at the beginning of June and the Training Camp is at the beginning of July.
Since he arrived Ukai literally had a month before the prelims, even if he wanted to he didn't have time to explain everything
@@breannbubolz6583 there was one month in between his arrival and the InterHigh, and another month in between the InterHigh and the training camp
I just wanna say, I don't think he just did because they have potential. If you had read the manga, Coach Ukai was still coaching Karasuno. I don't know if the Karasuno High School VBC got great but, just letting you know he stayed coaching.
I don't think an A and B team concept is about being in a better or worse team. it's just that Kageyama is in an A team and Ukai meant that Hinata will be playing in a B team for a while to try to play with another setter. I believe A and B are just the names, not levels
The alphabet is sequential and A comes first. So psychologically it does make a difference. Good teachers know that. That's why most teachers use colors to differentiate teams or animals. Haikyuu! has done both in previous episodes. So the distinction seems even stronger this time. It's like saying the Varsity Team, or the first-string players. It makes a distinction that elevates one group but at the same time relegates the other to a stated lesser rank.
@@MSinclairStevens I’d have to disagree. It really seemed more like they were divided because they were working on different things and that they were grouped with the people that would help them develop their own pursuits more efficiently. Kageyama is working on a completely new way to set while Hinata is working on a new way to approach hitting. Neither are in a position to be working together with such unpolished gems. That’s why it leads to them asking for use of the second gym as well. With only one net they can’t all work in the myriad of different things they’re working on at the same time
@@MSinclairStevens They're in Japan so I imagine the English alphabet isn't really ingrained that way for them. If anything the better team would be S team going by Japanese video games lol
@@sweedy6647 I taught at a Japanese high school for two years. Japanese students know their ABCs (termed romaji, for "roman characters") from young childhood. I was merely agreeing with Coach Donny when he said that team names shouldn't use degrees (like, Team 1, Team 2 or Team A, Team B.) Usually Japanese teams will pick non-sequential names like colors (White vs Red). However, in this scene, I think the younger Coach Ukai was really making a distinction between his first string players (those he typically has starting the game) and is second string players (those on the bench).
I really love how the Younger Coach Ukai seeks help to the Grandpa Coach Ukai despite him being new as a coach. Do you also have this experience coach donny where you also seeks help/advices to other coaches when you started as a coach?
At 6:40, I was waiting for Coach Donny to react. He might or might not have realize that the original Coach Ukai saw the Little Giant in Hinata. It's one of my favorite scenes. Still get shivers to this day :)
Damn, the quality of these videos just keeps getting better every video. It's also something to look forward to ya'know! You can see how much time Coach puts into these videos I mean compare this with the first episode.
Yes! He even removed the subtitles background, it looks so cleaner now. As someone who edit videos for fun, I can feel how much effort and thinking he puts into his editing process. He could just do the same thing that's already working but he prefers to keep improving... Damn, I'm getting emotional with this channel's growth. Thanks coach!
I noticed in most animes, "rivals" have a deeper kind of bond beyond friendship. Kageyama and Oikawa are, the genius and the skilled.
Wow I thought the toss that stops was only possible in anime, seemed kinda surreal. Crazy that coach was actually right when predicting what it might be.
Putting spin on a ball to control motion happens in pretty much every sport played with a ball, whether it's volleyball, snooker, golf or whatever.
Right? I always wondered about that one. Since it was based on putting a spin on the ball I thought it was legit, but I couldn't be 100% sure.
He was only predicting that it might be done, but doing it at the tempo the duo pulls it off is definitely unrealistic.
@@mach5240 It's more realistic than the eyes closed quick.
13:55 That’s actually a little Seijoh: Iwaizumi, Matsu, Oikawa and Kunimi.Even their height and clothes matches)
That's so cuteee 🥺❤️❤️
I love oikawa not because of his looks
because he represents Hard work that also defines as talent (Hard work beats talent) ..its something that you have to make bloom in the process
were he is not a genius but he can still catch up ...he has been acknowledge by a lot even kageyama respects him not to mention ushijima also..
he represents a lot..
Sup coach! Notice how Oikawa is only rude (snarky really) to people he dislikes? He banters the same with everyone and his friends give him shit back. He's the closest to a heel position in Haikyuu, a lot of people like that. Also, the Kageyama he spent years with is very different from the one we got to see evolve.
On the brighter side, Oikawa's leadership and setting ability is respected by every character in the anime, and his scenes portray him as an easy going, dedicated and fun guy most of the time.
My fragile weeb heart can't take it every time Coach forgets Yamaguchi's name 😭😭😭😭😭
I do think he didn't mean it 😁
The thing is with Oikawa is that even though he's very flawed as a character, he's extremely astute. I always appreciate his insights.
I'm not sure if someone else pointed it out, but if you look carefully at the gallery on Oikawa's phone, you'll notice that most of the pictures there are of his nephew. I think that Oikawa is immature, but also one of the best characters in the series. He really does care about his teammates and tries to put up the best tosses for them.
Also, I am excited for the next few episodes. I'm so happy that Owl and Owl Tamer have shown up!
"this is pretty fundamental; i'm surprised the younger coach ukai didn't go over this earlier".... ah, coach, you're a good coach so you might not know that lots of casual coaches don't really..... explain things like this. i played volleyball on school teams and in club (and a rec league) from middle school into college, for YEARS, and stuff like this was never explained to me. i was just told to.... do things. the theory of volleyball i only started learning when i got into haikyuu last year, and i'm now in my 20s. it makes me really sad actually, because i feel like i could have grown and developed tremendously as a player if i'd had coaches who functioned as more than glorified babysitters, and who were passionate about coaching and the game. i feel like i was much like hinata, always running on instinct and never using my head, because i had no one to teach me how to use it! 😂
Omg same! 😂 My coach can't explain anything and when we're like oh hey we keep busting our fingers when we block do you have advice he just went "have better blocking form". Yes but how ffff. And ofc nobody explained tempo
@@seekittycat ugh i'm sorry, that's so frustrating 😩 i hope you and your teammates find a way to learn even without much help from your coach!!! even knowing that there's more to learn is a good first step 🥺
Whoa!! Coach described the “toss that stops” perfectly even before an explanation!!! And an actual real life experience to go with it. 👏🏾👏🏾
the way coach nailed what coach ukai meant about 'a toss that stops'. so on point! also thanks for sharing ur experience and story behind that
The reason I like oikawa is because he is 'mean' but not malicious. I find it playful
"how can people like this guy" it's about......... the complexity........... the yearning......... the desperation and hunger to better oneself............ using a playful and ditzy persona as a facade to mask his cunning........... the respect and love between him and his teammates.............. and also his joking around with kageyama reminds me of siblings (like the way my older brothers tease me lol), not like, someone actually being malicious
I guess many people like Oikawa because he is lack of talent and you can sympathize such character. Many people lose self-comfedence when they see talented people, and seeing a character who is good at something without natural talent can inspire you
@Withro Anime Edits It's exactly why he teases Tobio so much. He also knows that Kageyama respects him enough to not retaliate. He's not being mean just to be mean, he wants to put bring these genuises down a few pegs.
@Withro Anime Edits The problem with Oikawa's way of thinking and a lot of his fans's is that no, geniuses are not "automatically talented", and they have to fight hard too. You can't know it if you didn't read the manga, but Kageyama always trained hard since he was literally a toddler. We never see him in other clothes than his training gear and each time he's not playing volleyball he's training in a way or another. It's kinda mean from Oikawa and all those fans to think that "geniuses" are not worth recognizing their efforts. Kageyama trains as hard as Oikawa, it's only that for him it's utterly natural, it's part of his reason to live. And Kageyama faced hardships too, probably the most heartwrenching hardships in the story (read chapter 387 if you didn't and if you want to know). Everything isn't magical in his life, far from it. Until late in the manga, we only know Kageyama's backstory through Oikawa's point of view. Which is biased.
@@Nunelii that's also what Kita said. While "not geniuses" train from 1 to 10, "geniuses" do it from 1 to 20, in a more effective way or from A to Z.
I like that we're always given the idea that geniuses were born with talent (that's what Oikawa said, even tho he doesn't realise that he's a genius as well), but then Kita arrives and *BOOM*, what Oikawa said is just BS
@@silsail Yeah that's what I thought too. Oikawa is not a genius (that's even the title of an episode lmao), in the sense where he's not a precocious prodigy like Kageyama, but yeah he trains hard as well. It's just that for "geniuses", training is normal, it's their daily lives, their second nature.
@Withro Anime Edits You're missing the point! Oikawa hates geniuses because he has to work hard to reach their level, but he doesn't realise that geniuses are at that level because they work hard!
It's like Oikawa wants a shortcut to be good, because he THINKS that geniuses have one, but we know that they don't have one.
Ushijima can almost only think of volleyball. He started playing volleyball when he couldn't even write.
Kageyama has been playing with a ball since he was a toddler.
We know that Oikawa liked volleyball when he was a child (we saw him going with Iwa to see a game), but we don't know when he actually started playing. It's almost certainly at an older age than both the others, tho.
Oikawa started hating Kageyama when he realised that Kageyama was better than how he himself used to be when he started attending Kitagawa Daiichi.
The difference here is caused by the fact that Kageyama started playing at a younger age, so it's natural that he's better than how Oikawa used to be, but Oikawa refuses to understand this (Kageyama, during his presentation, said that he's been playing in a team since the 2nd year of elementary school)
Hinata might be mostly self-tought, but he did play with the womens team on his Junior high-school and with some of the neighbourhood ladies, so it's not like he hasn't had anyone who could guide him and correct him on poor technique before making it to Karasuno.
I agree
But I don’t think you could learn that good technique in 5-4 months so he is self taught that’s only 1 percent out of 99 out of about 6-5 year of his life of playing volleyball
I like how Oikawa's nephew--Takeru just did him bad like that. He couldn't even let his uncle have his moment pretending he's really busy when he's not because his girlfriend dumped him Lol!
#FunFact: Oikawa Tooru always gets dumped by his girlfriends even though a lot of the girls are simping over him. The reason is because Oikawa is very dedicated to Volleyball and Aoba Johsai/Seijoh that he seldom has time to have some time to rest and be with his girlfriend. Volleyball comes first (he really does prioritize vb) rather than his relationship/gf so there's that. Oikawa knows his priorities, clearly.
I love how in Haikyuu strengths and weaknesses is usually the same thing. Kageyama's weakness is communication but that's why he can do things that are socially difficult (ask difficult question, throw Hinata, ask for help. etc). He has always only respected Oikawa as a setter tbh because they're complete opposites (strong communicator vs physical mental strength). I also love how the secret training arc is fundamentals, just show how important it is to have them. In my opinion Kageyama's toss is ridiculous and the most anime thing in this show 😂
Coach, hinata was self taught until his final year of middle school but after his loss to Kageyama's team he trained with a girl's volleyball team before he entered Karasuno which is why some of his techniques are still good especially things like his slide hit which is very popular in women's volleyball
6:39 Idk if you realised but the older Coach Ukai saw the Little Giant in Hinata when he said that. Just wanted to point it out
It is slightly clearer in the manga,
Kagayama was thinking of going to a youth vollyball class to figure out how he could get better, Kpop just happen to be coming out of the class.
I just realised something...it’s no wonder Kageyama’s teammates in middle school dislike him so much... they went from having Oikawa as a setter to having his polar opposite :/
Oikawa was not so different in the beginning. Iwa literally had to headbutt him to stop him from constantly saying "I". The only differences between them are that Kageyama started training seriously way earlier (he's been playing with a ball since he was a toddler and he joined a team when he was 6) and that he didn't have an Iwaizumi
@@silsail Oikawa's supposed "I" is very different from Kageyama's though. Kageyama berated his teammates when they failed to achieve the standard Kageyama had set whereas Oikawa took it out on himself, pushing himself towards self destructive hours of practice forgetting that volleyball is a team sports and the stronger six are better. Oikawa has never been anything but a good teammate. At least not from what we have seen, his teammates have hardly had any complaints about his play while we saw plenty of it for Kageyama. Oikawa and Kageyama are similar in ways but this instance isnt one of them.
I don't think Kageyama's teammates played when Oikawa was there... In the flashback when Oikawa is subbed out for Kageyama, even Kageyama was on bench so there is no way any other first year would have played in the team, cause Kageyama was highly skilled to play any position but he wanted to play the setter.
Seeing the team coming up with new techniques such as Asahi doing a jump serve and Nishinoya wanted to jump set... SHEESH it got me hyped
Oikawa understood the thing about who is the leader in a quick attack and so Coach Ukai did. U can tell everything about Oikawa but his passion and knowledge is something else
Ahhh! The next episode is the start of a particular character's development. My favorite! Cannot wait to watch Coach's reaction next week!
Omg right I can't waitttttt 👏👏👏
Omg. Right!!!! Coach is like...where's xxx :) ..I haven't seen him in a while... Can't wait!!!
"Let's get this Haikyuu! party started." -Coach Donny
Man, you gotta love that quote!
Everytime coach says "we change lives through volleyball"
I am always like "Yes you do coach!!!!"
SAME
Can't wait for "Oya oya oya" and the rest of the season ! :)
You mean "Hey, Hey, Hey"? :D
@@ramosaral This too ! Haha
S02 E08 15:38 Oya ?
@@bidadouda4682 Ahahaha yeah now I see.
Haha I like that part too
I've been waiting for this moment since ep 1. Bokuto and Kuro are honestly my favourites
The moments seeing everyone figuring stuff out together make me so nostalgic for when I used to compete in things.
What a lot of people don't understand, and what this anime is great for showing, is that the actual matches and competitions are only the small part of the time you spend playing. Yes they're the focus, but most of the time you spend being heavily involved in a competitive activity is the practice and prep.
Just the sound of the gym makes me so nostalgic they really captured the feeling!
WHOA THE EDITING QUALITY WENT UP, CONGRATS DONNY
I think it’s important to make the distinction between Oikawa as a person and as a character. His personality might be annoying but he is a very well written character.
Agh, I know Oikawa is difficult, but we love him in a patronizing sort of way. Like, he's a child, lol. One with an attitude. Also, we've seen the whole show and some of us have read the whole manga... We love the Great King. Can't wait for the reaction to the training camp. Awesome episodes!
Personally I like oikawa because of his Mentality and his relationship with iwaizumi. Yes he's immature but that's just his personality but he's also hard working and determined.
I love when you throw clips of you actually doing the things you are explaining, adds so much more to the video since nobody has to "just take your word for it." Keep up the good work coach!
Woah I just realized the subs have new editing. Coach Donny must've trekked through a mountain to Level Up 👀👀
I love how childish Oikawa Tooru (K-pop Setter) is, I mean it is very endearing even though some hate him at first, and then there's this annoying and sensible side to him like where can we get a man like Oikawa Tooru Lol
This is one of my favorite episodes in s2, just for how much it goes into the nitty gritty of volleyball and the lengths both Kageyama and Hinstat go to in order to improve
Coach, when they said he has been promoted, they didn’t mean to farming, they meant he has been promoted from shrimpy to shrimpo
He missed the sub :') these videos keep getting shorter since he doesn't pause as much... I'm a bit worried he'll be missing important dialogue moving forward.
@@magacofi it really has nothing to do with pausing or talking . There are many times he’s looking directly at the subs & still misinterprets or misreads what’s on screen
@@ImaBobbyMudda 🤔🤔 Nothing to be done there I suppose u.u
@@ImaBobbyMudda Yes he does it often but atleast he notices alot of the comments that are correcting him and also i really like the insights hes giving about the game itself for techniques,form and that kinda evens it out.
6:41 Coach Ukai saw the little giant in Hinata
Fun fact: there is a stage play adaptation for Haikyuu with professional stage actors acting out every scene live, and the title for season 2's stage play is called Haikyuu: Summer of Evolution! Definitely a fitting name for everything we have seen from Karasuno so far :)
i feel like in this episode especially oikawa was a "big" person.
oikawa's character arch is all about being overshadowed by pure talent and coming to terms with it or rather how to stay motivated to keep working on your own limitations in order to go that one step further. despite his tremendous work ethic oikawa always seems to hit that wall (ushijima). and in a time he was struggling with another loss to him, in comes this new underclass man, said to be a genius (tobio) and maybe even replacing him.
oikawa trains even harder but still does not manage to beat ushijima and feels like tobio is about to catch up/overtake him (symbolized by the grappling of the jersey in their match S1).
yet when that young setter comes for guidance he actually helps him with good advice... to some degree overpowering that tobio chip on his shoulder.
its kinda funny that the coach does not like oikawa... since he is all about hard word on and off the court in order to overcome a certain talent gap compared to the geniuses.
his attitude towards tobio with the mocking and "bähh" is just a coping mechanism to protect his mental.
edit: some typos
Man loved the way you explained ' the toss that stops.'
I am sure players are blessed to have you as their coach
16:28 that's a very fun and interesting thing to note because in the manga, hinata has super cool moments like the anime but in certain frames and backgrounds, you can actually see hinata not hitting the landing whenever he jumps to spike and block and ends up falling with his legs in the air! I don't remember how frequent it happens though
I think they show that in the anime too it's just harder to catch it. There are times when they show Hinata almost hitting the net because he leans forward too much or he fails in blocing because his hands are not the proper distance from each other. I feel like the anime is putting more effort into showing that Hinata is not good in receiving like when they show that he always hits his chin when he is doing the sliding receive.
I like that this episode showed Keishin's (young Coach Ukai) inexperience as a coach. He fell into this position and realizes he needs to go to his Grandpa to help Hinata, Kageyama and the rest of the team to grow.
As for Hinata, I think he developed his technique by practicing with the girls' volleyball team in Middle school so I can see how despite his inexperience, he would still have good technique mimicking the girls' hitting forms 🤔🤔
Oikawa is one of my favorite characters in the show because he's interesting and his journey tugs at my heartstrings. I can see myself in him to some degree, because I've always had to work incredibly hard at certain things I love, and I still got surpassed by people who seemed to be having it easy. That doesn't mean they weren't working hard themselves, and there's certainly a level of pettiness and lacking self-esteem in how I've felt about those people, and I've never acted on those feelings like Oikawa did, but it feels very real to me. My heart aches for him when he struggles with the complicated emotions tied to Kageyama, and that feeling of being "lesser". Every time he grows or learns, it feels earned. I don't think every character has to be a good person to be interesting and likeable. Although I'd certainly have gripes with his behavior if I met him myself...
He is a top character for sure hes pretty human,if you have time i recommend you to watch the youtube video of Aleczandxr "The Curse of the Ordinary" about Oikawa its pretty rad.
Oh yeah, everyones favorite episodes are coming
Oikawa is one of the best character in Haikyuu, in my opinion, the best one.
Can we just appreciate the fact that coach Donny is saying "let's get this haikyuu party started" creatively everytime✨
I think hinata have great posture while spiking because that the most thing he train in middle school, he still crappy in serving, digging, and passing even setting... But lucky for us we will see how he get better and better with everything...
Have a little faith in author and animator coach...
I actually think that's not the case. I believe that it's only in some cases that the animators went out of their way to make a more personalized animation for a certain skill, and in general they used a standard for every other skill animation, and that's why everyone's technique seems so proficient. I don't think this is a poor job, since doing a particular way of moving for certain characters would've been too much of a workload on top of their already great quality. I'm unaware of how this is done in the manga, since I only picked it up where season 4 part 1 left off.
Miyagi where the karasuno take place are in rural area if I'm no mistaken so that's why there's alot of rice field hinata's house also near a mountain that's why he take 30 minute cycling from home to school(also this is where he build his stamina from)
"Miyagi" is a PREFECTURE with many large cities including its capital, Sendai, which is "the largest city in the Tōhoku region, and the second largest city north of Tokyo - Wikipedia". Karasuno High is located in a much less urban area somewhere in the prefecture, but the whole of Miyagi is not rural.
Coach Donny: "If I don't have the best technique, and I continue to play with poor technique, all I'm doing is getting better at poor technique."
That's like a quote I made when I was upset at people's work habits. I said "Just because you've been doing something a certain way for years doesn't make it right, especially if you've been doing it wrong. If *'Practice makes perfect,'* you've just *perfected* doing it the *wrong way* for years!"
Coach
The thing about Kpop is that he is a total goofball on the outside.. The thing with him is, he can be quite helpful, serious, and straight-up nice when the time comes, but he likes to keep this "I don't care about anyone, I'll just fun around" type of attitude. It's quite visible in the later episodes and is REALLY clear towards the end of the series (Not animated yet, still in the manga). I'm not spoiling any info that might be important, but just that Oikawa boi isn't a total prick or douchebag, he just acts like one, but he really does care about Hinata, Kageyama or his opponents
Coach Ukai (current) said that Grandpa only recently got out of the hospital... so recently that when they got there he questioned if he should be up and active like he was.
Aye season 2 is peak haikyuuu! You'll love the upcoming episodes for sure
Season 2 is my favorite I always rewatch it
Oikawa is appealing because of the arc he goes through. At this point of the story, he believes that some people are just better at Volleyball because of talent and that no effort can help him reach the same peak. He is resentful towards Kageyama for this reason, which is why he acts with such immaturity and bad attitude. He is excellent at reading people and drawing the best out of them and has polished many of his skills to a mirror sheen. But his mindset is holding him back. The narrative gives him some story beats that challenge that - in Season 1 and Season 2.
Plus he's fun to watch be an immature jackass too, because everyone around him calls him out on it and makes fun of him for it. They never show him being immature without a teammate or his nephew in this scene making fun of him, which turns it from annoying to endearing.
Also Grandpa was in the hospital in Season 1 for heart problems.
8:17 "How can people like this character?!" Because he is the hardest worker, loves the sport more than anyone else, love his teammates, he's really smart, funny and charismatic and most of the time is just making fun of people in a light way, not really trying to be cruel (the series uses a lot of tropes from the anime world that you're probably not familiarized with - like the photo scene - which can make it look like a mean thing for someone who's not used to but is not, is just a break from expectation or simply a comedic thing).
And he's really inspiring, because he's swimming against the tide, trying to be the best player while also "don't having talent" (a concept that will be developed more in the future).
why I feel like crying when I read your comment 🥺 it feels so right. Oikawa deserves to be in the top prefecture. He knows what he's doing and he does it to his best. Oikawa deserves the name, "the Grand King".
If he did photo thing irl he would get punched in the face. It's all lighthearted and all cuz it's in anime, but some of the stuff he does would be very rude and cruel in real world
I never agree that Oikawa doesn't have talent, this is the whole "IQ and strength is the only talent" thing when in reality EQ is also a valid talent and one he has that Kageyama will never have.
@@seekittycat I think Kita Explains beautifully that the common notion of talent is a falsity (Alexandxr has a fantastic video on this, called "Inarizaki changed everything", and there's a great book called The Art of Learning (my favorite book actually) that explores this concept in depth, and there's also a video by Killing Buddha with Firas Zahabi called "How to successfully learn jiu jitsu" that i HIGHLY recommend).
Most people use this term to imply that some people are born to success and others don't, like they have some special powers or are chosen by the gods, when in reality everyone starts as beginners, even Lebron James, even Jon Jones. All of them had to learn and fail a lot and just because they have an advantage that doesn't mean they automatically won or that you can't find a way to win.
It's all up to you, if you want to believe that some people can't be surpassed or if you want to believe that you can do great things too, just like them.
When coach donny said "i haven't see tsukki in a while". I be like "don't worry coach, you're gonna see tsukki in a whole episode" 😁😁😁
I'm really excited for next week's reaction, I wonder what Coach Donny will think about Tsukishima after it 🤔
YEES!! This is the arc I've been waiting for coach to react to!
It’s so amazing that coach Donny can prefer the “anime things” like “the ball that stop” to the actual technique of the top setter in the world. It’s not only speak out how real this anime is but also showed how deep coach Donny know about volleyball insight too
IM SO HAPPY! That coach donny realized that that kind of toss is possible. Because a lot of people were saying that kageyama’s toss is a foul because it spins or whatever. And. I was kinda nervous that you’d notice the impossibility of it. But here you aree! Providing a real person that can actually do it! SO NO, KAGEYAMA’S TOSS IS POSSIBLE I LOVE HIM SO MUCH
Yay I've waited for thiss. Hoping you won't stop uploading your reactions, Coach. There's tons of people like me who's always looking forward for your next Haikyuu reaction.✨ You're my favorite haikyu reactor✨
Me eating alone: 🤤
Also me: eating while watching elevate yourself 😁😁
You mean while?
@@rhodostoma7525 thanks I did not notice that 😳
I used to eat a lot when I was practicing and I see no shame in it :)
I love how he says one of the intermission shorts should be kageyama hitting a water bottle wen setting then in the actual episode they do that and he says, "Man they have a real obsession with water bottles in this anime" lol
*pauses watching haikyuu to watch coach's reaction to haikyuu*
Editing just keeps getting better, especially with the subtitles! It probably took you some time and effort to remove the background for every subtitle. Props to you Coach always looking forward to your videos!
I'm soooo looking forward for your future reactions coach! The summer training camp is such a great arc.
AND THE FANDOM in the comment sections is just, yes 🧡
The reason water bottles are used so much is because they're bountiful in Japan and small enough to "difficult" targets while being light enough to bounce and be moved with ease, plus they can fill them with liquid to make it heavier and more difficult to knock over... but mostly because they're extremely bountiful lol
Kageyama always respects Oikawa and thinks of him like sort of superior being. Thus asking Oikawa for some volleyball tips won't hurt his pride too much. He has definitely experienced the worse thing, which is asking Tsukishima to tutor him in study. 😂
nb: I just notice that the subtitle is clean and neat now. It must have taken you a lot of effort to edit it. Thank you for your hard work, Coach. 🙏
just woke up feeling rough from my second covid dose and this is exactly what i needed to keep my mind off it. thank you coach.
