- Haikyuu!! has a great cast of characters and all along Haikyuu Season 1, season 2 and season 3, there is a long character arc happening with Tsukishima. This is his story of how he redeemed himself to me as a watcher, to his team mates and to himself.

*Tsukishima at Season 1:* What an annoying punk.
*Tsukishima at Season 3:* Rising as dark side of the moon.
1000%
Nah, don't know what you're talking about, I liked Tsukishima from the beginning.
@@zythex4385 I'd argue that in the first season you love to hate him, until in season 3 you just love him
@@axelminus no I'm just saying I personally like his because I feel like he's a lot like me.
Be a man!!!!!
Im convinced that Tsukki's "moment" where he clenches his fist, screams victoriously, and the camera moves like it were handheld, constituted for at least 40% of the third season's animation budget.
I think season 3 looked pretty solid. That moment is intense though
Lol
Wow that's deep :)
I love the Handheld camera moments on Haikyuu. It was also there when Hinata and Kageyama ha their fist fight
And 97% of my tears
When Kei screams is the best scene of all seasons. Every episode till that scene was build up for it.
It felt wrong making a video on it and not including the clip. One of the hypest moments easily
He screams at the one touches he says one hit or I hit it or something like that
@@yamiyo_sag4637 "it was just one block, it was just one point out of 25... this is just a club..." *proceeds to him reminding the next words* "But when this moment comes to you, YOU´LL BE HOOKED IN VOLLEYBALL!" *proceeds to him screaming and the start of the soundtrack*
aaaah... what a great scene... i wanted to forget it and watch it again just to feel how i felt in that day xD
Just wait for the manga to be animated... Oh my...
When he did that, I screamed with him and jumped all over the place.

I hate when my mom or someone else tells me to try different things even tho I know I’m going to mess up, if I’m going to mess up why do it I’m just going to embarrass myself and get nothing good from it

The way haikyuu builds characters is phenomenal, each of them has something that makes you sympathize with these characters and from what ive seen this show has the most variety in terms of the favorite character for each person. I personally love yamaguchi because of his trouble with his nerves and just his personality in general
Yamaguchi is also phenomenal. I love them all so much it hurts aahhh
Same. He is also my fave because I can really relate to his troubles. The fact he was overshadowed by his peers because he isn't equipped with the right physique, experience and talent for the game and yet he never gives up. He knows he can't exactly win by running with the pace of his teammates, so he has to make his own, striving at pass his own strength while acknowledging his weaknesses and limitations and become a Yamaguchi he never he'd become and not someone else.
I agree.. But there are also times that i think Haikyuu didn't do much development in a character..(i also just realized after a fan pointed it out) And so far, it was kinda evident in Nekoma's Lev.. In the Karasuno vs Nekoma match in the manga, i really felt like Lev was severely overshadowed by everyone in the team.. I know he's still pretty much playing on instinct at that time, but you could just really almost feel like he downgraded instead of improved.. Though the reason of it was brought up in a later match, still, he was kinda out of himself in their match against Karasuno.. But overall, everyone in Haikyuu is lovable and great
yamaguchi ends up becoming captain though
Wait for hinata in the final arc in the manga!!
Tsukishima's moment in S3 was one of those rare times when I jumped out of my seat! The build up in the previous seasons towards that small moment made it feel incredibly impactful.
It was incredible seriously a huge pay off for such a build up
I just sat there quietly. With tears in my eyes.
Man! And he came in with some epic music too!
I screamed
I jump in like, every exciting moment, but I fell off my bed when that scene happened, and I had to rewind to read the subtitles haha
God damn, I get teary eyed just thinking about this.
I think one of the best subtle things is that the captain of Nekomata read him in like 2 days.
I love Nekomata. Their whole vibe is awesome. Yeah the captain knew what was up and just how to help guide tsuki
@@HidinginPublic I think that it's related to their strength. Unlike our Karasuno best boys, Nekomata wins so they trust themselves and that allows them to be open with their feelings instead of worrying about their inadequacies.
I’m just gonna slide into this little thread here and clarify that the team is “Nekoma” their very cool coach is Nekomata
Kuroo and Tsukishima 💪🏽💪🏽
Yeah... well, Kuroo's best friend is emotionally constipated as well, so... I guess that makes sense! ;)
Knew this was gonna be a good video. Tsukishima's moment in s3e4 made me cry
It was a big emotional time
Yes!
Same Tsukki is my favorite and the moment he screamed in that episode I shed some tears. Rewatched it probably 4 times
Thank you haha! I was trying to find that episode for two days now! I forgot they had a Season 3.
...that scene...tears came into my eyes...TEARS!!!
I swear man having a mindset and breaking out of it is one the hardest things
It really is
I've always loved Tsukishima for how tactful he is. In S1 in their 3 on 3 game, you see him trying to rile up Hinata and Kageyama and getting under their skin. He even throws off his sweater. As much as he tries to hide it, he does have passion and love for the sport.
Same here
Yep n hes so salty n i luv it
I, not once, have hated Tsukishima. The moment he first appeared, I fell in love with him. His “flaws” are what make him my favourite character. I never even knew people thought of his personality as a bad thing. I never once thought he was bringing others down. I thought he was just being himself, and at the same time not himself. Deep down, I knew he was going through something. I knew he loved volleyball, even if he showed negativity towards the sport. Because if he hated it, then why would he have joined? His passion and feelings toward the sport was different from what the other characters had. I personally like to think he joined volleyball just to get closer to his brother, because as some of you know, he became pretty distant with Akiteru-kun as he grew up. He was crushed. Both of them were. But Tsukishima still joined the club, as if he was looking for answers as to why his brother still played the sport. And his character development just makes things even better.
You just put my toughts in words
Thank you.

cool quote where/who is it from ?
this sounds like a slightly more inspiring way to say "maybe the real treasure was the friends we made along the way"
Yay a video on best boi in Haikyu! (after Oikawa)
I did the sacred shonen sacriment and Nux has appeared. Hope you like the video man, thqnks for stopping by
true
Yo Nux. First time I've seen you in another comment section.
Not surprised that Oikawa would be Nux's fav
@@mikanchan322 Okinawa is my favorite as well, watch alecxander's video on him and you'll understand
I really love this, perfectly explains why kei is one of my favorite characters in the series and incredibly relatable. Worth mentioning though, his brother is also a great character and incredibly relatable despite not being the main focus of the story and having compartively less screentime then kei had. Personally i was never blessed with talent for football but through persistent hard work since i was young and being blessed with a good physique especially for a 14 year old at the time i managed to reach something akin to an ace for a year or two. But like kei's brother once the competetion got better and better i fell short, and also felt the same pain he did lying to my own little brother about it. But despite that just like him, there is something that keeps drawing me to football. I can't and won't stop playing, especially now that i know what it feels like to reach a level i was once at.
Sorry for ranting on, but again great video :)
Ranting is fine thanks for sharing. I'm happy you liked him and watched my video. Best wishes
Aeron are you talking about American football or soccer football
I totally agree e u
He has the most amazing arc ever I love his story, it feels so seamless.
It's awesome
I lost it when he makes that block. I was so happy for him. Let me just say I love this video. It really hit me. Thank you.
I yelled with him. It was such a gratifying victory. and thanks, happy you connected with the video :)
You're here!
ALL MIGHT!?
@@goldenbunnies4143 I AM HERE!
@@melantus WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE HAH?!
(/j I’m just trying to act like bakugo lol)
Sibling dynamics can be so interesting and impactful!
My sister was "the artist of the family" I looked up to her so much in that regard
She also had the flaw tho, that if I, the younger sibling, picked up and succeeded at something she also did.... She would lose all interest.
So I never picked up art. It was her thing.
Then, she applied to artschools and got rejected by every single one
She never again made art.
When I moved out I didn't even tell her that I started to find love for drawing.
Now ive already been 2 1/2 years to an eh artschool and even got into a much more high level one two semesters ago
I can't imagine not making art anymore and it's so sad to see that the person I used to look up to and admire, completely gave up
It’s nice for everyone to have at least some sort of creative outlet for themselves, sorry you felt the need to have let go of art for your sister. u_u at the beginning.
I hope your sister is able to find love for something creative again. If anything, for herself, and not for success/approval.
At first, (I’m an art school graduate) I only drew because I felt defined by it and identified with it. I mostly only drew for the sake of others though, and now I just feel like I need to draw for myself first before caring about revenue/ contracts/ an audience and what not.
Sorry for the rant. xD wishing you both luck
I'm so glad another person is able to see why Tsukishima is my favorite character. When I try to explain to my friends why he is my favorite character they just say it's because he is salty and blond, not realizing that he is one of the few characters that have the same mindset as I do and that him succeeding makes me think I could succeed.
I'll be honest, when I first started haikyuu I already liked Tsuki cause I love sassy characters. And that's how I thought it was going to be with tsuki, that he was going to be a sassy side character, which I will love to death, but a character that might never get more development and screen time and just be a shallow foil. Let me, I was SHOOK and STOKED as FUCK when season 2 rolled around and you can't even imagine how much I SCREAMED during season 3 because that was MY salty French fry son being a complete mvp and I was just so happy!!
I know a lot of people had the transition from disliking him to loving him. But I just went from liking his character already to loving him so much like, I WILL die for him.
From the start I liked him as a character. He's amazing just like pm all of haikyuu's cast, it was as a person that I didn't initially like him. I enjoyed his behavior as a foil and in the narrative but thought, 'if this guy existed in real life I wouldn't be able to stand him' (like Kageyama, hinata, and a couple others feel), but watching him grow is definitely so satisfying. I called the video a redemption not just because of how he changed in my eyes, but also to his team mates and himself. He was so great, I love him lol. Thanks for stopping by to comment!
Finally. Someone makes a video on my favorite character
I'm happy to have done it :)
Haikyuu had some of my favorite characters out of most of the anime ives seen the past couple of years
It's kind of astounding how many exceptional ones there are
Hiding in Public thats mainly due to the fact that its the main thing the author needs to focus on since most of the plot its just tournament arcs so we have to care about the characters in order to wanna keep watching
10:45 I absolutely love how they animated it like a handheld shot to capture how visceral that moment felt for Tsukishima. Truly an amazing scene.
That camerawork art was just pure genius.
Man this guy really knows how to choose music
Boy...Man... Something to think about 🤔
I think most of the music is actually from Haikyuu
Him and Yamaguchi have one of the most amazing relationships in the franchise.
big agree
Yasss they do 😌❤️
Completely
never even considered watching haikyuu before this, now i might though
I'm glad I had a friend to convince me into it
Tsukishima is a wonderful and believable character, him and oikawa have such human character arcs that anime characters are never really afforded
you should give it try, it has wonderful characters
Give a try, it's the best sport anime in my opinion. Best character development too 😊 in january a 4 season is coming.
I highly recommend it
10:45 I GET CHILLS EVERY TIME
It's his ROCKSTAR MOMENT
season 3 was literally tsukki’s season
Mmmmm, no can't agree with that
I think its sort of accurate, I feel like some matches in haikyuu is loosely focused on one/two players (date tech based on asahi and nishinoya, josenji and wakunan loosely based on daichi, etc), and the shiratorizawa match was slightly focused on nishinoya (vs ushiwaka), but a lot of the hype was around tsukki
This is why I love hakiyuu! They make each and every character have character development. They all have relatable and realistic traits that people can actually feel. I love each and every character in Hakiyuu even Toru though he can be a bit cocky 🙄😂💕
i've always been so at awe at haikyuu's amazing character writing
me too
Dude I cried at the peak of Tsukki's arc. One of the best, emotionally.
“Why do we live if we’re going to die?” That kind of vibe i get
This was really really good I can't put into words how hard this hit
I'm happy you found and enjoyed it. Hope I can make more stuff like this in the future
I can finally show my friends why I love Kei so much
I'm glad you think my video can do that! I appreciate it
Ah same!
Chills. I get chills every time tsuki gets that block and finally breaks through.
He's a king
There was potential in him from the start and he’s a pivotal part of the team, he completely alters the game now and I knew he could do it from the beginning, we just had to wait
What great timing, I just finished rewatching Haikyuu!! very recently! Tsukishima is one of my absolute favourite characters from the show; I really didn't like him at first but slowly he grew on me as time went on and I ended up becoming super attached to him as his character developed and we got to understand him more. That part in S3 E4 is one of my favourite moments too! It's so incredibly satisfying seeing all the pieces slowly come together through his strategy and then see it all pay off in the end when he blocks Ushijima's attack, and it's amazing seeing that moment when he celebrates as well, hearing him just shout out like that gets me every time. After all this time he finally gets that moment for him, the thing that really gets him hooked and the moment when he realises that he can do so much more than he thought he could and can even stand up to an opponent as powerful as that. Tsukishima's character development is so brilliantly done!
I'm glad we are on the same page so much. Thanks for sharing and dropping by to comment. I really appreciate it!
i always get chills when i see tsukki’s character development, season 3 was just insane
Its amazing how you keep pumping out these 10+ minute long videos on a weekly basis without sacrificing quality or that personal note of yours.
All I had to sacrifice was almost all of my personal life and free time! haha All seriousness though, thank you, I try hard to defy that 'you can't make good weekly videos' idea
11:44 when he said “I feel useless” in this part I swear I was tearing up so hard like omg it broke me but I’m so glad he got reassured 🥺
ive always loved him, but when he screamed, i got chills. one of the best scenes in sports anime
Do a video on Tadashi. He is a great character foil for Tsuki.
I already watched haikyuu and loved it but this made me appreciate it even more.
I'm really glad you feel that way. I loved his arc
Kei is literally the best character in the whole show and no one can convince me otherwise
I don't think many people would try
My teacher was teaching us about character development and assigned this video for us to watch and I didn’t know it was based off my favorite anime I watch the video and it was the best 12 minutes and 56 seconds of my life
"Nothing is a fact until it has happened." This line hit me so hard and really got me to start thinking
watched this and have been spending the rest of my day rewatching season 3 thank you
Heck yeah good way to spend a day. That's what I did. binged s3 in one day lol
Tsukkis moment will always be special for me. Because I experienced something like it when I was in school. I was a wrestler, and I was starting to get frustrated with the sport. Then we had a meet with one of our rival schools. The entire meet was tense, everyone wanted to win. And I'm in the heavyweight class so im last, and im sitting there watching us trade wins until its finally my match and we are dead even. This match decides the meet. So me and this other guy face off. Now if you've never seen real wrestling you know that the lighter guys put on blazing fast matches of pure technique and reaction time, but when you get to the heavy weights it's all about power. We each get a point on one another but neither of us can get a pin. Everything else falls away except the pounding in my ears, my opponent, and the matt. The whistle goes for the third round and we're fighting hard, and I manage to scrape a near fall to tie up the points at the very end. So we go into overtime, but I'm so focused I dont even realize that we've already wrestled 3 rounds. I cant even feel the tiredness in my limbs.
The whistle blows and we grapple, and at the last moment I finally get that one takedown needed to win, and before they can even blow the whistle I roll him up for a pin.
Then I take the headgear off and I hear that my entire team has been cheering their heads off for me and I feel absolutely on top of the world. And that was when I fell in love with wrestling
at first you find yourself thinking damn, you need someone to humble this guy. then once you see him genuinely, you soon find yourself cheering him on, hoping he can finally achieve his goal
literally subbed to you a couple of hours ago and you immediately posted a video of my favourite anime. gg, my guy
Ayye good timing. Thanks for subbing I hooe you like what I end up putting out
when u talked abt how he doesn’t fully disappear really goes hand in hand w what he symbolizes overall in the series, the moon. and i thought that was really pretty and poetic idk. really liking ur analysis’ - keep it up, man!
I just finished season 3 and Tsukishima is definitely my favorite character. This is great.
Glad you think so. His arc is awesome
The moment when tsuki got that block I literally jumped off my bed and screamed yasss his badass moment
I get literal goosebumps watching this show, no matter how many times I’ve watched it (and I watch this show a lot😂), idek how to describe it, it’s like a warm sensation that I can feel everywhere, then I’m left with goosebumps, but like not regular ones, I struggle to explain this and my friends always get confused when I try, it’s almost like a rush, it’s not an over exaggeration to say I’m addicted to it, this show gives it to me the most, especially when Tsukishima blocked ushiwaka
Tsukki has some of the best story building of all animes, which makes him one of the best anime characters in my opinion.
Idk. But I already liked him after their 3on3 when they joined Karasuno. His attitude before that seems rude, but his side comments after joining the team are funny. Plus, it’s so fun when he annoys their opponents.
Tsuki's arc is honestly my favorite moment of any anime I have ever watched. This show is so well written it is insane
The way you worded everything is so spot on and beautiful.
I relate to tsukishima in the way I’m new on our school volleyball team after the coach noticed my spikes in physical education but I know it sounds fake but in our school is the top 4 spiker in the nation he’s left handed like Ushiwaka and what hooked me in volley was blocking him after he said he was going to crush me
AAAA yes!!! I’m so glad one of my favourite Anitubers covered this arc!!
I hope it was satisfying!
@@HidinginPublic It was a great video and you did a really thorough job covering it. It reminded me of why I love Haikyuu so much!
Yesss i love thissssss. I started to love Tsukki in season 2, and what he thought Is very relatable. Why try so hard to get something when it could be gone in an instant? Bokuto helped him with this talking about his special moment. It’s why his brother kept playing. He was an ace in middle school, and he loved the feeling. Tsukki had his own special moment when he blocked Ushijima, and you can tell that his own mood completely changed. He stayed strategic and kept fighting even after he got hurt
. And that’s why he’s my favorite character. Also, he’s a savage
AMAZING video, you put all my thoughts and feelings about tsukishima into words really well! i absolutely adore him both for being a little shithead AND having possibly the best character development in the whole show. he's not even my number one favorite (that's oikawa, who also has fantastic development!) but his "moment" in season 3 stands as my favorite scene in the entire show. tsukishima means a lot to me and i care about him deeply, so i'm really happy to see someone discuss him and his journey at length. awesome job!!
One of the best written characters in Haikyuu. I used to hate Tsukki, thinking he was a jerk for no reason, but after season 2 & 3 I love him so much.
Why am I crying on every line with goosebumps 😭
I just love haikyuu!!
Haikyuu can do that to you
Thank you so much for this video, I can't tell you how much it means to me. You explained an emotion that I couldn't describe for years. Tsukishima Kei was one of my favorite characters from the beginning but I never knew why until this video. Thank you so so much. I love how we discover ourselves through characters like him! 😄
I'm happy you think so much good of my video and am glad you found it. Thanks for the nice comment! I hope I can make other things you enjoy in the future!
@@HidinginPublic Wow I wasn't expecting a reply! Thank you ^^ And I'm sure you will! Your content is amazing and heartfelt~
Who else loved Tsukki from the very start of season 1? Even when he was just acting like an asshole, I found him super entertaining and always loved his smug attitude. So when he gained a lot of spotlight in season 2 and 3 and got backstory and development, I wasn't expecting it at all and was blown away. I literally yelled out loud when he did in season 3. Tsukki and Oikawa are best boys
Bro you’re making me cryyyyyyyyyyyyy i see that same part of tsukishima in me. That part that’s too scared to try too hard or care too hard because I’m scared of letting myself down or embarrassing myself. I love this show so much damn.
This video essay/analysis is truly on point. Thank you for bringing this to light. Many needed to learn these lessons.
I'm glad you think so much of it. Happy it could find its way to you
Thanks for this video. Im reminded to push myself and get out of my comfort zone. Thank you for doing this.
Nobody:
Tsukishima screaming in season 3
Fangirls:*fangirl noises*
haikyuu is such a beautiful show in that every character seems to have their own arch, even if it’s extremely small or if they’re a character thats only in the show for an episode. if there is one thing i love about it it’s how it taught me that every person has their own story that you will likely never know about, and that even if behavior isn’t justified it can still be understood. every time i see tsukishima block ushijima i cry, i think he probably has one of the most powerful archs in the show.
This made me cry. I will always come back to this if I ever feel down 😌
Thank you, I needed this💛
I actually connected more in Tsuki out of all the characters because it reminded me, of myself, my old sister was in the badminton club and she always wanted me to at least have fun, and make friends in high school so, she signed me up for badminton club, but I am horrible at sports it also didn't help, that I had the sane mind set as Tsuki why try something that I am going to fail at, and why should I put in the extra effort when someone better, and more talented is going to show up and replace me? Then my older sister told me this.
"How are you sure that you would fail, when you don't even try, and how can you be sure that you are going to be replaced when you don't even put in the extra effort?"
I cried so much when I first watched Tsukishima shout after that block and watching this video only made me cry harder and realize why I cried so much in the first place. This show has made me happier and more satisfied with myself, yet still striving for a better brighter me.
I love that when I went into Haikyuu, I knew nothing about volleyball. But after the first two seasons, I can pick out the players in real life games and their positions.
I actually loved the cynical Tsukki, but now, I am so proud of him
I love tsukishima since the beginning of the series because I relate a lot to him. I used to be an empty shell that couldn't be happy and I am slowly growing over that.
I've been reading/watching Haikyuu for years and Tsukishima was always my favorite character on Karasuno's team. I always suspected his harsh exterior was a defense mechanism for some kind of childhood trauma/low self esteem issue, and when we got to see his backstory involving his older brother, it really clicked into place. He was disilusioned by the idea that people can succeed in their dreams, and convinced himself that trying hard at something without reservations couldn't be anything but an embarrassing waste of time.
Still, it was interesting to see him remain on the team for whatever unknown motive he had. Was it because it came easily to him due to his height? Because he was bored? Perhaps he just liked to feel superior by beating others in a sport he didn't even care about? Discovering the real reason behind his actions was immensely gratifying and only further solidified my love for the character. It was worth the wait to see Tsukki's world regain all the color and passion that it had lost along the way.
Thank you for reminding me of it with your video :)
I just discovered your channel and I already love it. It feels so genuine and you're not scared to show your weaknesses and challenges in life. I dunno, I guess I just like genuine youtubers.
Season 1: I love you, Tsukki
Season 2: awww lil tsukki
Season 3: Damnn ily u even more now
Season 4: askandjsnd I love you too much now🤧
8:45 Damn, why have you got me tearing up at this part? Amazing analysis, loved hearing your thoughts. You seem like a wise dude.
wow. i think you just made my favorite video on youtube, lol. this was powerful to watch
Hefty compliment. I appreciate the nice words. Thank you ♥️
Tsukki and Tadashi are probably my favourite characters in the series. And I have this theory, based on their conversations along the manga, that if Kei didn't quit voleyball is because his friend knew that he liked the sport and saw how good he was at it so pushed him to keep playing. Now that is canon that Tadashi became the captain I'm pretty sure this idea I have is right.
Kei growth is one of the most interesting features of the series, and many people thought it was a silly reason for him to be so annoyed by his brother's lies... But I believe it makes sense. I mean, how important it might have been the sport to their relationship if he had to invent all those years that the was still playing? Probably they have built their story around Voleyball. And sports fans can be quite dramatic. As an Argentinian I see this all the time with football.
This is an amazing video. Thumbs up~
I hope to see a lot more of this and their relationship adapted in season 4. Thanks for taking the time to comment, they are also some of my favorites in the series. Happy you liked the video!
When I first got into anime a long time ago, I never got into sports anime in till I watched this one just here. I got hooked in the first two episodes but soon lost interest when I got to season four, but soon returned after I finished watching Little witch academia.
Part from that, great video man, keep up the great in-depth analysis videos.
Thanks man for the continued comments. I'm glad you're still watching and yeah this was my first sports anime too
I’ve actually loved him since first season 😅
The scene made me cry when he screamed😭
IMO Haikyuu is still the only manga, where every character could become the main character, with stories as good as the real main character
honestly, im such a tsukki kinnie. As a volleybal player myself, this waspretty much my mindset as well, without the bullying, but my overall attitude was exactly like tsukishima. Honestly this is what made me sympathize with him, and his build up and character redemption made me cry during that one moment in season three. His story has always been my favorite, in every anime ive ever watched, its always been something ive sympathized with and related to, honestly because of haikyuu and tsukkis redemption story my love for volleyball sparked again, and it made me really happy
theres a really underrated part when tsukis brother lie about his volleyball. i believe a lot of athletes does it so they dont feel bad about being bad. tbh, nobody wants to be considered as an useless player.
The greatest thing about tsukishima is i relate soooo much with him. I always dreamed about getting better at sports , i joined sports clubs but didn't stick with them . I was great in academics but i never really _dreamed_ of getting better at it . Sports excited me so much , sleepless nights, exhilarating day dreams , occasionally playing football and thoroughly living the game , but i never put in real effort because i never...felt...inspired. Ironic as it may seem, dreaming of the action but not being inspired? . I shied away from hard work , justified my laziness as ' really, getting good at academics is going to definitely help you in ( as cliché as it might seem ) landing a job . ' . In the end , i didn't pursue sports . I have instead pursued engineering and truly one thing that has completely uplifted my inspiration aspect of engineering is ' to be good at sports , you need to be strong ' , i think this was told by that tokyo team's ( nekomo was it, i don't remember it correctly ) coach . This is soooo true. I still don't dream exhilarating dreams about ' engineering ' but the thought of academically strong fires me up .
But......There's this thought that has been in my head for a long time . Did i pick this route of engineering on my parents wish ( they were the ones that made me do this thing) , did i really completely set my ' career ' without thinking if i thoroughly enjoy it ? Did i shy away from an exhilarating life on parent pressure ? Did i .....?
i got goosebumps everytime that kei scream scene happens
i remember freezing and looking at my laptop with wide eyes the first time i saw tsukki yell after he blocked ushijima's spike. i can safely say that moment made a lot of haikyuu fans tear up.
Finally someone gets me
As a setter the mythical moment is a very real thing. Because even though I am not the one hitting the ball there are plays that just feel perfect and everyone comes in running and screaming for. For a while I played as a right side (who didn’t get set often) and the one time I got to score two points in a row and just the unexpected moments from players are what are the most exciting, but also had clearly plenty of build up and hard work behind them. It really is true that when you have one mythical moment you just want to keep playing. Every time I watch haikyuu it makes me so so hyped up to play volleyball.
Let’s admit it season 3 was for tsukki💞
Haikyuu is such an amazing show and has had a close place within me for years now. It's a show I always go back time from time to time and instantly makes my mood better. All the characters have such great character development and Tsukishima's is easily one of the best I've experienced. Loved this video. I really like how you're able to put words to this feeling that I struggle to a lot of the times. One of the top anime youtubers on here.
I wish I had watched it sooner. There are so many characters and things I want to talk about, they are all so good. And thanks for the kind words!
I feel like my entire childhood and current mindset were just exposed in this video-
The second you mentioned that he reminds you of the things you do not like about yourself i started to cry because honestly watching the first season i was feeling the same but ... as is normal I didn’t want to accept it. Him screaming out of relief/happiness/pride completely took over me as i watched for the first time - you put it into words! Thanks! Great video!!!
I'm glad I could put that into words for you! Happy you found the video, I appreciate you taking the time to share
ah, seeing the S1-S3 clips, made me miss the old animation
I’ve always related to Tsuki the most in Haikyuu (or really in any anime that I’ve watched) from the physical aspects of being the one super tall (6’3”) kid on my team, to the psychological aspects of dealing with those mental hurdles I set up for myself. I’ve often had the thought, both on and off the court, that what I’m doing is meaningless in the long run so why even try? But really Tsuki’s arc in this show, especially with the climax of him blocking Ushijima’s spike in the finals, really resonated with me and taught me a valuable lesson. That lesson being to live for what’s in front of me. The bliss that Tsuki felt after that block can be attained every day with the right mindset, and ever since the first time I watched through the show, I’ve applied that way of thinking to everything I do.
Sorry for the mini-essay. This is more for me than anything but if someone happens to read through all this, thank you and I love you.
Thanks for sharing, I read all of your comment. I'm glad you connect with Tsukki on such a similar level and thanks for taking the time to watch my video on him. He's a character I obviously also love so good to see another person drop by with their experience. Thank you!
“That’s the moment you’ll be hooked on volleyball”
Well said and explained on Tsuki’s redemption. I bet most of us can relate to his character at times like you mentioned. love how this anime changed my perspective on his character and character growth for all the side characters. His scream after blocking is one of the best scenes. Like Hinata yells out to him - that 1 point is worth a 100 points!
