The animation of Oikawa getting up after his set to Iwaizumi while thinking *Talent is something you bloom, Instinct is something you polish* not only solidified Haikyuu as my favorite anime/manga ever but Oikawa as my favorite character from the series. I even have his jacket and I use it when jogging at night.
I love how the series portrays the relationship between Iwaizumi and Oikawa. On the surface, it may seem that Oikawa just unintentionally pisses Iwaizumi off to no end, but Iwaizumi shows it's deeper than that. Iwaizumi wholeheartedly believes that Oikawa will make it to the top and acknowledges his skills as a player, and he's there to beat it into Oikawa he's got other players behind him that he can get the most skill out of. And Oikawa proved Iwaizumi right
I know its sick and all but I kinda wish it was instead just the Scene but instead of pointing the panel is just everything else shaded out and only his line of sight to iwaizumi. It would of just been so much more in character but oml the finger point was hype.
This why he's called as the 'Great King". I mean who can't be an inspiration more than a person who can't fight in the midair for his team but wants to win by his talent in setting (I know he can serve and do dumps while in front row but he can't do it more often). Just by his sets he wanted to win Ushijima. He's so much of an inspiration for a person like me who dwelled on my inferiority complex for 13 years. My heart goes calm while I think I can break my limits like Oikawa-san did. By the way this is the best essay on Oikawa-san in UA-cam. Thank you so much. ❤
Its true that Oikawa wasnt going to surpass or beat players like Ushiwaka, but Oikawa made the fatal mistake of comparing himself to other players. The only way we can truly grow is if we compare ourselves to ourselves. And we may surprise the other players we once sought to surpass with how much we've improved and grown.
I found Haikyuu when I needed a series that reflected the human side of athletes, it was Oikawa I related to the most other than Daichi. Oikawa reflected the samurai discipline of honing one's skills to extreme excellence all while continuously pursuing perfection, along with the reality of you can't beat someone who never quits, one day he will beat everyone, and he will by doing it his way.
He's such a realistic character, he shows in the manga and anime that he is so humane. By far the most relatable character shown, as he is an athlete showing his ups and downs.
I'll just copy paste my og comment here since the og video is gone: 37:20 The best part is that, even if Team Japan loses to Argentina and Oikawa, it would make sense both narratively and realistically, since Hinata and Kageyama has nothing to lose by losing this match, they're just as strong as the International players and Oikawa, if not even better, and both teams feel like the protagonist and antagonist, if Japan wins, Japan gets their revenge while Oikawa fails his yet again, and if Argentina wins, Oikawa finally gets his revenge, Team Japan crumbles yet again to sheer height and power, and yet either one winning won't be proof of anything. Argentina winning would mean Japan didn't lose because their best player (most likely the best) is from Japan, and Japan winning would mean they finally overcame that wall of height and strength, whilst beating one of their best players who's on the other team. But after everything that has happened, I truly believe that Oikawa and Argentina really did win this final match of the story.
I never liked Oikawa until the Brazil arc and he’s not one of my favourites, but he really made me admire him and want to root for him. What an amazing character, maybe one of the best ever written. This video was so great, I’m so glad you were able to reupload it and thank so much for making it!
I was already so happy when I saw Kageyama and Hinata together again but when I saw they were going to play against Oikawa I felt like it was the best conclusion possible. We didn't even need to know who was going to win, it was already perfect.
Oikawa is my favorite character. His insecurities match my own. I trained 100 butterfly for 15 years. Everyone I know bar a few teammates and competitors believe I'm extraordinarily talented but I'm routinely obliterated by men who were born better, taller faster. I've put in the work and reached my max potential and it's still not enough to beat some of those monsters. Eventually you just have to accept life isn't fair or equal, genes matter and although I'll never be the top 0.00001% I'm still incredibly lucky and healthy and glad to be relatively talented and have made as far as I have.
@@hish33p32 A fair number of people said they did - tbf I've intentionally been making my videos try to appeal at least a bit to non-Haikyuu watchers as they seem to do well that way (e.g. the Kita/Tanaka videos as well as this)
Karasuno's final point against Aoba Johsai and Hinata's receive agaisnt Aran are my favorite rallies so far. Haven't watched the movie and read the rest of the story.
The most beautiful moment when I read the manga was when I only understood the Similarities between Oikawa and Hinata when they were put in those chapters together, it's eye-opening how I could miss how similar these two what they're fighting to prove and improve themselves every time. 1. How both have a role model that inspires them Little Giant-Hinata Argentina setter-Oikawa 2. How Oikawa sees Geniuses and how Hinata sees Tall people, they are not those. They know that's why they are challenged to improve and to prove themselves to others. And they both chose the hard path by not giving up 3. They even go miles to go out of their comfort zone after graduation to go to a different country to train. Not only 1 but 2 crazy people out there like they say 4. And of course how they love volleyball 5. And it was magnificently portrayed when it shows... -Hinata has moments of homesickness and feels left behind etc -Oikawa even at one time pretends to quit, even feeling something is lacking when it's not difficult as Pro Like two threads that are all jumbled and have one knot when stretching They both Rediscover the BASIC again and how the FUN it is to play 6. In the end, they both get recharged after connecting with each other Oikawa inspired by Hinata the fun of always seeing yourself Level up and the Fun in it like a beginner Hinata was inspired by Oikawa's past story and even learned to think about what was next, observe and try new things Finally, that panel when they shake hands is like a line, a starting point for them, for me maybe that's why Oikawa finally calls Hinata, Shoyo not Chibi-chan anymore not because not just he's grown up. But also an acknowledgment that they both start from here. Truly an antagonist and protagonist beautiful declaration moment. 7. And Boom! -Introduction of Hinata again to Msby -Oikawa's Introduction as an Argentina Player Both you can never forget and become well-known from then on. Actually, it becomes even crazier when I think how THAT Oikawa was never truly known in National HS and even never got a chance to play, His word of defeating EVERYONE becomes more impactful and meaningful every time I remember it. Finally his CHANCE BALL!
i havent watched the video yet but have to comment now bc yes yes yes 1000 times yes. just that one scene where he does the jumping set across the entire court, where he collides into the table as he falls, leading to him desperately jumping back to his feet, hardly registering it as he slips on the table cloth, with his eyes completely locking in on the court with pure desperation...ugh man its so good
Oikawa Toru, along with Reigen Arataka and Lucy Steel, might be my favourite anime character ever. They're ordinary people, surrounded by gifted monsters, but they do extraordinary things and achieve unbelievable results with what little natural ability they have. I love his shift in mindset about interpreting "talent" as something that you can just make bloom through hard work, rather than a god-given ability that separates the world into an immutable division of haves and have-nots.
I'm honestly becoming obsessed with your Haikyuu character analysis/essays. Right now, I'm currently binge watching your Haikyuu vids and I can't get enough with it.❤❤❤ I hope that they will make a movie about the olympics and special episode like what they did in Kuroko No Basketball.
I absolutely love this video. This one of Oikawa and the other one of Sugawara are my favourite videos that you have made. You make amazing content and these one of Haikyuu characters are the best so thank you for doing them
Oikawa is my favourite character in haikyuu since i started watching it, and this video reminds me of why i love him from the beginning. Thank you for the vid (also i love all your videos)
So glad this is up again. I find myself returning to it all the time so was so sad when it got struck. Maybe an alternative platform/patreon or something would work as backup?
i remember seeing this video before it was taken down before, if i'm not mistaken, a year or two(?) ago? I know it was at least quite a while after the manga finished, since I was keeping up with the new chapters as they were released at the time...but I remember this video leaving quite the impression on me because was so well edited and put together, and it managed to talk about something that I felt like many people were overlooking at the time, the journey and development of Oikawa and how perfect the final manga ending was as a culmination of his entire character. Now I've watched the entire thing again and I'm hit with the feels. Great video. Might go reread the entirety of haikyuu again :'D
I meant to only watch long enough to get your views back up but ended up watching the whole thing again. oops. Guess that's what happens when the video is that good.
oikawa tooru you have to stop. your serve too lethal. your character too nuanced. your swag too sexy. youtube will kill you. (okay copypasta aside, very happy that this got reuploaded!! rewatching while i eat dinner 🫡🫡)
It's really good to see other people also love Oikawa. Tbh initially I was irritated by oikawa, bt it didn't take much time for me to be his fan. And I really liked that part when he meets with hinata in brazil, and later during practice says beach volleyball is a sport which is pretending to be volleyball 😂
You know if the animation studio and the author wishes they could make olymics match a one of series and a movie to properly end the series and the entire anime world would go mad crazy
Hard disagree to your comment about Oikawa being bothered/upset when Hinata would get brought in at 3:56. Watching all of the times Oikawa spoke about him/to him, I never got that impression. He always joked around and called him short, but I got the impression that he took him more seriously than 90% of the other players, despite Hinata’s lack of skill
Oikawa is very good at assessing people's abilities and potential. If anything, Kageyama bringing that offensive prowess out of Hinata this early must have bothered him imo. Thoughts?
Just out of curiousity - I never fished the original video - I got to 21 minutes in before I had to pause it and when I came back -it was blocked. Can anyone tell me what is different? Is any of the script different?
I really hated Oikawa after he beat Hinata and Kageyama, I remember feeling a weight on my chest when they were down and the anger I felt. I prayed and waited for them to get their revenge and felt a wave of satisfaction and triumph when they did. But after the fact when we got to learn more about Oikawa I started to understand that even he suffered chasing for the top. He was a great antagonist, but could have even been the portagonist of his own anime and it'd have been amazing. Still kinda hate him for the first time he beat them tho😂
A bit late to the party, but I have never felt bad for Oikawa. Despite all the hard work he put in and his genius plays, I could never connect completely to him, so whether he lost to his biggest rival or to anyone else, I either felt incredible joy or was like „Yeah that was to be expected“ My biggest problem with Oikawa is that he is not this super perfect as the series sometimes portraits it: He is cocky, he lets himself provoke, he is not a good captain (the other third years don‘t take him serious, Kyotani ignores him, he is sometimes away and doesn‘t communicate it with his team) and his mindset is diminishing his success. He is his own biggest barrier and simply cannot improve with his team if he keeps on struggling with himself.
am i the only one who just hates it when people call Wakatoshi-kun "Ushiwaka"? i mean... OK, the nicknames has a purpose inside the IP, but... babyboy has a proper name, and it's such a cool name too. huh.
I mean...if it weren't an Oikawa video, I'd agree that it's better to use his proper name. But it is an Oikawa video so it just as easily makes sense to use his nickname for ushijima.
Why the reupload?
The other one was taken down by youtube
@@Eduard_RO awh man glad it's back
That happens a lot with anime/ manga videos. They always claim copyright.
@@Eduard_RO another day another dumbass move by youtube.
UA-cam: *takes down the video*
Lesson from Anime: Don’t you ever forget my worthless pride
It's actually funny tho 😂
This actually makes a lot of sense, underrated joke right here
The animation of Oikawa getting up after his set to Iwaizumi while thinking *Talent is something you bloom, Instinct is something you polish* not only solidified Haikyuu as my favorite anime/manga ever but Oikawa as my favorite character from the series. I even have his jacket and I use it when jogging at night.
Now I mean this with no shade… but if you jog at night in an anime jacket there is a decent chance you get mugged. Be careful
@@ethanbannister1322 ur so mean lol
WHEREDU GET THE JACKET DAWG
I seriously never realized that means Oikawa won. It fr makes me so happy cause bro deserved it after everything
I love how the series portrays the relationship between Iwaizumi and Oikawa. On the surface, it may seem that Oikawa just unintentionally pisses Iwaizumi off to no end, but Iwaizumi shows it's deeper than that.

And Oikawa proved Iwaizumi right
Agree 100%!! The fact that Iwaizumi became a trainer was SO perfectly fitting x)
"The monster generation? They're all just stepping stones to me."
Oikawa finger pointing to Iwaizumi is peak haikyuu for me. 🔥🔥
I know its sick and all but I kinda wish it was instead just the Scene but instead of pointing the panel is just everything else shaded out and only his line of sight to iwaizumi. It would of just been so much more in character but oml the finger point was hype.

That's great haha
Wow, I'd like to know the experience of watching an Oikawa essay first before watching Haikyuu

Oikawa Won, also that last point in the Aoba Johsai is the biggest plot armor for Karasuno in the series no way they win it without it.
Thanks for reminding me how peak Haikyuu is I’m gonna reread it now 💪🏼🗿
It really sucks that you had to re-upload this.
I agree but this a excuse to watch it again 😂
@@joseg2819 true
i think more than envying Hinatas ability, he envied that he was a weapon for Kageyama that he didn't have
I actually saw Oikawa and still see him as the 2nd Main Character in Haikyuu

Fair enough, there's nothing fully confirming what I said after all
Oikawa is very good at assessing people's abilities and potential. If anything, Kageyama bringing that offensive prowess out of Hinata this early must have bothered him imo. Thoughts?
@@Eniggma39 ooh interesting, that could be it too
You should make a video about kaisers turning a 1 into a 0 and back to 1 thered gotta be soemthing motivational in there
Just out of curiousity - I never fished the original video - I got to 21 minutes in before I had to pause it and when I came back -it was blocked. Can anyone tell me what is different? Is any of the script different?
you can just jump ahead to wherever you were, there's a few minor bits added back in but it'll be fine
I'm gunna call him: Frank Grimes
Oikawa is definitely a Cancer. I don't know his in universe zodiac sign but he definitely moves like a Cancer
isnt it ushijima not ushiwaka
For me he isn't even a villain
That's why it's in quotes
❤
I really hated Oikawa after he beat Hinata and Kageyama, I remember feeling a weight on my chest when they were down and the anger I felt. I prayed and waited for them to get their revenge and felt a wave of satisfaction and triumph when they did. But after the fact when we got to learn more about Oikawa I started to understand that even he suffered chasing for the top.

My biggest problem with Oikawa is that he is not this super perfect as the series sometimes portraits it: He is cocky, he lets himself provoke, he is not a good captain (the other third years don‘t take him serious, Kyotani ignores him, he is sometimes away and doesn‘t communicate it with his team) and his mindset is diminishing his success. He is his own biggest barrier and simply cannot improve with his team if he keeps on struggling with himself.
