THIS MATCH IS INSANE!!!! 🤯 First of all, I'm so happy that Tsukki is ok and ready to continue dominating. Secondly, can you guess what my "Play of the Episode" is?? I'll give you one hint.... Noya 😉
All of my fingers and toes are crossed that Hinata will score this cliffhanger attack. How are they so good at keeping me on the edge of my seat at the end of every episode?!?!? That's skill.

This new VA for Ukai is going to take some getting used to... RIP
Also.... Noya Guardian Deity to the rescue babyyyyy!!!
in the next episode i would like you to take a little time to appreciate the music of the last point, it is probably copyrighted, so your editor will have to mute some fragments of that scene.
Sarah, pls don't miss 2 OVA's About Nekoma and Fukorodani In their Kanto Prefecture After the final
Don't worry in season 4 the new VA for Ukai does pick up the voice the late VA established it's virtually unrecognizable now at this point.
i think its also worth mentioning that the reason that tsukki can comfortably stick to read blocking is because of the trust he has in his teammates to return it. just like we seen noya do the impossible with that double receive
I don't want to spoil something,
but the earlier episodes of season 4 may make you hate Cryptkeeper even more. But after watching the original cartoon...Eventually, he became my favorite character. like i love tsukki or daichi!
There's a very,very important role for him, and surprisingly, there's an Event related to you, Sarah's job!!!!
(Fans who watched it will know what this means. Hahaha)
I can't wait for the day you'll see it one day.
Sarah's reaction to the episode getting cut off at the end is priceless lol
UNBELIEVABLE!!!! Not fair!!!
We all warned her that she should do a dual reaction for 9 and 10...
We feel you
That's me every single time, even though I know it's coming! Lol
@@SarahPavanVolleyball Imagine watching this as it's airing knowing that you have to wait 'til the next week
"The block where you laugh last" is such a Kuroo thing to say, because you know that guy's gonna be all "heehee hoohoo" when he sees spikers get frustrated.
The master of provocarion after all. Man Kuroo is my absolute favourite
7:38 One thing that's really easy to miss is Ushiwaka signaling an apology to Tsukki. It shows that he legitimately didn't mean to hurt Tsukki and wasn't just some jerk saying "see? that's what you get!"
Just another one of the little details that add so much to a character.
I never noticed the wave and tsukkis little bow/nod of acknowledgement, thank you
I always loved that detail
I read this right before it happened I didn't notice that the first time good eyes
Ah yes. Nishinoya's legendary double save. ✨
A true hero
15:26 Japanese voice actor Kazunari Tanaka passed away due to a hemorrhage. His last line in the series was the "dont look down, look up" line. Very impactful last words for the series.
26:12 as iconic as Noyas double save is, the way Oikawa yells out "HUUUUH?!?!?!" has me in tears everytime😂😂😂
28:43 "laugh" is usually "笑う" in Japanese. But this Kuro's line, Furudate sensei used "咲う", more literary expression for "laugh" and this word means "blossom" as well. So it shows Tsukishima's hard work is paid off and blossoming at this point.
omg thank u for pointing this out! I've rewatched this show an embarrassingly amount of times, but watching it alongside Sarah and the community here always unlocks more things for me.
I love that tidbit!! Thank you for sharing it!!
I also really enjoyed learning that!! Little details like that are super interesting.
Man, I really need to learn Japanese. Such a layered and poetic language. Thanks for the explanation
@@SnailHatan I actually started to. my first language is Farsi (Persian) and it's phonetic. translated Japanese to English alphabet is literally phonetic. no diphthongs or mixing of two vowels. and grammatically, linguistically abd orally we distinguish and put emphasis on syllables. so repeating Japanese in a similar native accent is easy. to the point that I only pronounce the names or other terms with the Japanese accent, which is essentially phonetic sounds + emphasis on syllables. it's v encouraging, cz the concept of kaji and written Japanese is such a foreign concept, being able to pick up at least one part of the language is reassuring. even if you don't understand it, hearing and watching in context helps, a lot of ppl learn English or other languages that way (I did English). the usual Rx for learning language within a the country is to watch their soap operas. long, serialized, heavy dialogue stories, w enough frivolity that you don't need to be a dedicated fan.
(by emphasis on syllables i mean how most western and/or English speaking reactors say **Tsukishima**, Asahi, Tanaka, Hinata, Oikawa, Bokuto, Akaashi (the long extended phonetic vowels) softly or with diphthongs. if you put the correct emphasis and use phonetic sounds you'll pronounce them correctly.
the "wa" in Oikawa is so exaggerated in the transatlantic English accent. the best way to remember how to pronounce his name is to remember how Ushiwaka says it. he's so dry and his voice is hefty. makes pronunciation clear and simple.
but Tsukishima is the worst cz there's no "oo" sound in Tsukishima, where there's in Tsukki. Tsukishima is pronounced with a wide closed mouth "ee" sound. I can't explain it well, but it's definitely not "sooki"shima.)
Noya's double save is probably the highlight that most viewers remember about this episode, but my favourite is Tsukki's face off with Ushijima. He's on equal footing with and directly challenging one of the top 3 aces of the country, when it would have been unthinkable for S1 Tsukki or S2 Tsukki who never had the big talk with Bokuto / Yamaguchi. His development was foreshadowed as early as S1 when Tsukki got serious in the 3 on 3 match with Hinata and Kageyama.
The long-game character development with Tsukki is unmatched. While I am OBSESSED with the Noya double save, I do really appreciate the Tsukki-Ushijima head-to-head that happens this episode as well. He keeps getting amazing touches on the block, and when he doesn't, he funnels the ball to his defenders SO. WELL!!!
It's also a callback to the s3e4 block where Tsukki looks away from Ushiwaka. Now he faces him head on, welcoming the challenge.
5:15 I loved that in the manga there's a relatively more "epic" panel with Hinata and Tsukishima, highlighting just how similar they are becoming on the court as Hinata's competitive spirit rubs off on Tsukishima. I also liked Ushijima's apologizing gesture to Tsukishima, such a nice little touch, very in character for him.
Watching people lose it over this cliffhanger never gets old :"D
"Haikyuu is the greatest thing of all time" amen!!!
😂 😂 I can't handle this.
The little apologizing nod is very common in volleyball, especially if you are responsible for someone getting injured or getting hit in the face or something.
I never realized that's what he was doing (meaning Ushijima apologizing)
What is the timestamp for the apology?
@@manganess5126 should be 7:36
"Tsukishima has unlocked the door to the love house and made himself comfortable" That was so funny I am dying 30:15
One thing I’ve always liked about Oikawa is that despite Hinata being short and inexperienced, he doesn’t look down on him. Even the comment about Hinata trying to think about his next move being “disgusting”, was more of an “I’m impressed” comment. In the moment he was able to focus that much and not let the previous miss get him down and Oikawa recognizes that
I love how much more excited volleyball players get for Nishinoya's double save than other anime reactors do, because they understand what an amazing feat it was. Probably the single greatest display of personal athleticism and skill in the series.
another notable highlight that is slightly on par with this is also from Nishinoya, but it is not animated yet
@@theOne-my8vd are you referring to the one for the upcoming match (next season)
[[SLIGHT SPOILERS]]
where he dives and miss bc of Hinata touching it?
@@yelenasimp2936 yep, on par with the foot save he did against Date Tech. Pure athleticism
@@theOne-my8vd I agree! The commentators of the match and some fans irl say it’s luck, but nope. It’s pure skills and athleticism! Noya is honestly such an inspiration
@@yelenasimp2936 if we talk about luck, it should be like Daichi's foot save when they were against Inarizaki. But Nishinoya's play at that time was all intentional and pure athleticism, he even felt all of his sensations as he used his leg while diving for the ball. Such a high skill play
Kuro setting the boys straight with his blocking wisdom.
I knew that cliffhanger was going to kill Sarah 😂😅
Yeah I agree Tsukki is the MVP. This line up is the perfect one for Karasuno.
Can’t wait for the last episode! So excited. ❤
I can't handle this. I'm so upset they did this to me.
Hahaha that’s why I watched the whole season 3 in one sitting.
Anyway heads up when you finished episode 10 there are like post credits scenes and another ending with the shiratorizawa team in their school.
@@starfury0001 I agree. Genie sarah at it again! Hahaha i got full body chills when she said it 😍🤣
the double save is goated
I almost fully lost it.... everyone is completely dead and can't take one step and Noya just saves the day. Ugh... amazing.
I only noticed it now, after how many times I've rewatched the show, but ushijima actually gestures to tsuki when he came back to the court, as if saying "sorry about that". That's honestly cool.
The progression from finding Tsuki sassy in season 1 to “I love him” 🥲 & Noya coming in clutch as always 🤩
This is going to be a long one (apologies beforehand). I actually love Wahijo as a character. He is someone who was small and really good especially in receiving, maybe could have been a libero. But sadly, I don't think the libero position existed at the time. During his time, it really was all about height and power. His coaches and teammates reinforced that belief and told him that he needed to be taller. Years later, he becomes a coach and doubles down on this belief and achieves great success.
We all look at him and say that he couldn't make it because he wasn't good enough or talented enough (which I don't think is true). Washijo was way more skilled at the same age than Hinata is currently given that Hinata didn't have a proper team until high school.
Realistically, if Hinata had gone to school anywhere else would he be a starting player? He can't serve or receive, is not a great blocker and requires a setter of Kageyama's caliber to utilize him offensively. Washijo never had the support system that Hinata did. I think the line that rings true for me in this regard and is one of the best is the show is that Hinata says at the start of each season. 'A tall, tall wall looms in front of me. What’s the view on the other side? What does it look like? The view from the top…it’s a view I could never see on my own. But…if I’m not doing it alone…I just might be able to see it.'
The belief of height and power above all else instilled in him my his own teammates and coaches and the overwhelming success he has had with this ideology (given that Shiratorizawa is a perennial powerhouse) has made him over the years a bitter and jaded man living vicariously through his team's success. In that aspect, Karasuno and Hinata are a perfect foil to Washijo's ideology. And that's what makes this match so great, beyond the volleyball.
Edit: I think it is important to note that I think the ideology that was challenged was height and power above anything else. Not Shiratorizawa's style of perfecting of individual skills. Because as Haikyuu repeatedly shows us each team has their own style that should be acknowledged/respected and each of them is perfect for their own team (bringing out the best of each team). The only difference is that Karasuno is still evolving given that so many of their starters are first-years and they have a new head coach. The other schools have maybe one or two starting first years and none of them have the same impact as Karasuno's. For example, Kageyama and Tsukkishima go head to head with Oikawa and Ushiwaka (the two best players in the prefecture). And of course, Hinata who just picks a fight with anyone. You just don't see that with any of the other teams. So, though the others do add to their repertoire the effect is much more pronounced for Karasuno and their whole style appears completely new because they are still adapting trying to perfect it.
I love this comment, Preetam. Thank you! I completely agree with your assessment, but I love that Kageyama and Hinata are challenging his long-held beliefs.
You worded everything I was thinking so well. Playing in the late 50s vs today and the very particular environment in which hinata is evolving are key to understanding the dynamic between him and Hinata. Truly one of the most interesting relationships throughout the later stages of the story
Yes, and it took me a couple of watches to realize all of this. What happens with Hinata after this match was also a great help. Cannot wait for season 4
I would also just add that he's had this philosophy for 40 years. If Hinata proves here that short players can make a difference on the court then it means that for 40 years his philosophy has been wrong, which means those 40 years he could have actually been the one on the court rather than living vicariously through others, which from some perspectives means 40 years wasted. Most of us also don't like being proven wrong on a stance we take 5 seconds ago. A stance you've stuck by for 40 years and has been reinforced by other players, coaches, and results would be devastating for most of us, so I actually sympathize with him on that. He is an example of what Hinata could have been if he didn't have the support of Karasuno while Hinata is an example of what he could have been had he had to proper support of his teammates and coaches but didn't because of the times he was born in.
@Canadian Dude Hmm, he would have been forced to accept that his philosophy was wrong for 40 years but I think he knows given the time period he was born in and his situation, he could not have been on the court. But during his 40 years of coaching, he could have been helping people like Hinata achieve their dreams. He doesn't have to be bitter about it. That's why initially he was like 'I, with my 40 years of coaching want to deny you'. But then, at the end of the match he has this kind of frustrated grin on his face because though he is upset that they lost, he can't help but feel something positive (happiness, maybe?) inspite of himself. He is still not entirely convinced but still acknowledges that Hinata will probably continue to grow stronger even if his path is treacherous.
Atleast, that's how I see it.
Your reaction when the episode ends before you know if Hinata's hit will land, is gold! This is another sign showing us how invested you are in this haha.
That was the most unfair move I've ever seen!!! How can they do this to us?!?!
I really appreciate your insight and breakdown of going for the jump serves on match point. I understood the general concept of there being value in simply taking the chance, but hearing your more in depth logic on why it applies practically when two teams are strong and has a high chance to score when 'in system' wow that's a new way to look at it for me very interesting
Yay! I'm glad it resonated with you! Yeah, with teams that good, just keeping a serve in is like giving them a free ball. They will score anyways.... it's better to at least make them work for it.
I have a little more sympathy for Washijo - he was probably told for years growing up that volleyball is only for tall people. Could he have pushed through that anyway? Sure, but when you're a kid and everyone you look up to and respect (either coaches or senior players) tells you one truth that seems like common sense, it's hard to break through that.
I wonder if Hinata had started in a more traditional structure instead of basically coming to a desperate Karasuno that came with a particularly open- minded team and a freaking gifted setter if Hinata wouldn't have also had this drive beaten out of him by a relentless "this is obviously the truth". Hinata has a combination of drive + supportive environment and also benefits from like 40 years of volleyball evolution.
Sure the coach could handle this a bit more maturely, but this is his inner monologue - he's not actually saying this to anyone. I see this as more of him trying to work through his whole world view coming crashing down on him and the regrets that would inevitably come with it. Someone is showing him a path that he didn't know existed when he's no longer able to take that path for something that he really loves.
The Washijo/Hinata contrast is so powerful for me. It just really speaks volumes to how much chance comes to play in determining people's success, worldview, life path, etc. If one little thing was different in either of their lives, this could be an entirely different story.
@@SarahPavanVolleyball This reminds me of Takeda's chemical reaction of encounters. For example, if Tsukki had gone to some other school where he wasn't as influenced by how passionate his team was, would he have figured out how to dissolve the knot in his heart to come back to volleyball in as honest of a fashion he is now? Probably not :)
I’m guessing from his age that Washijo-sensei came up in the pre-libero era, so there was almost no opportunity for a small player. Also, I could see him thinking “I love volleyball so I should attend the school with the best volleyball team.” (That’s why Shiratorizawa was Kageyama’s first choice). But then (like Tsukki’s brother) he would have arrived to find there was so much talent that he wouldn’t play in a match, ever. I have a low opinion of Washijo-sensei. We have already seen evidence he is the type of coach who is reckless about the physical safety of his teenaged players. Recall Shirabu (setter) slapping his own face hard and commenting that if it had been a practice match, coach would have slapped him in the face. And Tendou told Goshiki that coach made them sprint home after a match because they played badly. I’ll stop with examples for now to avoid spoilers but watch for further examples.
@@tinyblossom I'm in no way arguing that he's a fantastic coach. I was just expressing that I have a bit more sympathy for him on how he views Hinata's success and his desire to "disprove" that short people can be successful (and not necessarily in just a libero role).
However, I will note that there are cultural differences (as Sarah has noted in a previous episode) and that he has a lot of respect from his current and past players. Also, I've watched the end of the anime and read through the entire manga and I think those examples you noted were the only ones where he was *physically* distasteful (from my perspective and culture).
@@darkvalkyrie7 I agree, Hinata has glimmering shining example of what he could be if he worked hard in the form of the Little giant. Washijo-sensei had no heroes to look up to. Couple that with the discrimination small people were facing then you have a gigantic wall barricading you from your dreams. Without a hero that already broken through that wall, Hinata probably would have had it harder.
no other reactor pointed that out. the reason noya was able to dig is not JUST because he is awesome. But because his legs are less tired than everybody else's coz he doesn't jump as much. just wow!!!
Im not sure whether you already recorded ep 10 but if not i recommend you watch the whole thing including the ending song. It has some special scenes which is very wholesome, i think you definitely don’t wanna miss it. 😂
Always love your reaction and insight comments about volleyball ❤
I already recorded it, but you know I'll be going back to rewatch 😊
Tsukishima, Nishinoya and Daichi are the core defense for Karasuno with their touches and receives to make sure the ball stays in play, they're all awesome. Great reaction as always.
It's fascinating that Sarah, as a pro Volleyballer, thinks of Tsukki's involvement as a cliffhanger because she knows about the bench-whistle rule, but the rest of us, the moment we saw Tsukki, KNEW he'd play, starting first serve next ep, because we'd never been told about any such rule.
for "Don't you DARE look down! Volleyball is a sport where you are always looking up!" to be the last thing ukai's late voice actor said...what an inspirational statement that can be applied to more than just volleyball. you need to look up so that life doesnt pass by you unbeknownst. r.i.p legend
Noya showing off why he's the Level 100 Libero, that double save and THEN he has the nerve to spout off a cool line right afterwards too. GOATed.
I still remember the pain of watching this come out week by week 😓 some of the most painful cliffhangers in this show, and the episodes always feel like 10 minutes
Here is a little detail that I'd like to add. Notice Oikawa calls "that miracle-like (or God-like)" what Karasuno players call "The freak-quick". This is because, of course why would Oikawa call it the same? He doesn't share time with our players. But they do have a name for it nonetheless.
It's a small thing but it all adds up to making the characters and the world of this anime feel real, like "of course Oikawa and Iwaizumi must talk about "the freak-quick" off camera!"
Such a great episode, and yes, a killer cliffhanger
I don't know if someone has mentioned it yet, but just in case....going into season 4, there's a noticeable art style change for the characters. I wanted to give a heads up because I didn't know about it the first time I watched haikyuu, and jumping from season 3 to season 4 shocked me quite a bit lol
Oh dang. Thanks for the heads up! Now I'm curious....
@@SarahPavanVolleyball Season 4 art style is closer to manga art.
Hey Sarah, Just a random Info If you didn't know : Almost everything you see in Haikyuu such as Stadiums, Schools, roads, Small shops are a replica of real life Buildings in Japan. There are some videos/ articles you can check online. Haikyuu's writer directly used the things we see IRL (in japan) into to his art.
Yeah, this is something so amazing, Furodate-sensei pannels are so trustworthy to how they really are and well made. He/She, played Volleyball in until high school so i think that's why it's so realistic, there are experiences and love in the way that the history is made.
@@agnusleal8004 Very True.
Did you notice that when Tsuki is back, Ushijima raised his hand to him like we has welcoming him and being a sportsman about it? There is also a reaction when he sees that Tsuki got hurt and will be out.
Sarah, your reactions are SUPREME. It's not just because you're an Olympian and amazing athlete that makes these reactions so great, but it's your genuine care and investment in this anime that shows us that these characters and stories connect us regardless of where we come from.
Watching people react to that cliffhanger always kills me 😂
Can’t wait for next week!
I saw that someone warned you of the art changes for season 4. Just wanted to add that it was a decision made by the producers to make the art style match what’s in the manga. Season 1-3, while beautiful, is very different from the manga, which is more simple in its art style.
Also, season 4 was created during peak Covid lockdown, so there are moments where the quality of the animation really takes a dip. But I’ll also say that some of my favourite-ever shots from Haikyuu come from s4 (and I’m an animator myself, so I’m picky 😅). The quality is there for the big/important moments that need it most.
Just a heads up! It’s still so so enjoyable, as long as you sort of understand the circumstances for the changes.
That cliffhanger has me
You've made me a little nervous to see the animation quality in season 4...
@@SarahPavanVolleyball You shouldn't be too worried! It's still really solid, especially in the moments that matter, like they mentioned. The style becoming more simplistic often tends to make people feel like the animation has also taken a dip, and while in certain instances it does, the two aren't directly related in the way most people who don't know the intricacies of animation perceive.
You'll absolutely notice the style change; it's incredibly obvious. You'll notice it in the fidelity with which they draw and shade characters (especially hair), you'll notice it in the way that they sometimes purposely exaggerate proportions for certain shots (way more than they have in previous seasons), and you'll notice it in the way that things in focus are separated from things not in focus (there's always been a difference but it becomes more pronounced next season, IMO). The important thing to note about all of that though is that it's a conscious stylistic and artistic change, not necessarily a drop in quality. The simplicity of the style when contrasted with the highly detail-oriented style up to now gives the impression that it's a drop in quality, but most of the time it's not the case.
Also, all of that is only really affecting the WAY the illustrations are drawn, and animation is about how those illustrations move. There's a lot of spots in season 4 where the animation quality is on par or better than previous seasons, but there are also spots where it's noticeably restrained as well, largely due to lack of budget or manpower (or both) thanks to COVID. The pandemic really hit the anime industry as a whole pretty damn hard.
@@SarahPavanVolleyball dont worry sarah, you are gonna enjoy every bit of s4
@@SarahPavanVolleyball it may need some getting used to, but the story gets progressively more deep and nuanced in s4. It gives us so much more depth for the characters, that's on a whole other level. So you can definitely look forward to S4!
@@SarahPavanVolleyball the animation is still good, it just doesn’t hit the same highs
シーズン3でツッキーの評価爆上がりやで
I know that feeling. The film ends at the most tense and critical moment, and then there is a long wait.
I really love that small detail at 7:39 where ushijima does a small apology to Tsukishima and he acknowledges it, it's so small but shows so much how they're written like real people
Don't forget to watch the two-episode OVA before getting into season 4. The titles are "The Path of the Ball" and "Land vs. Air". You surely don't wanna miss it coz I know you're a Kuroo fangirl 🤣.
That’s why Nishinoya is my fav character he always comes thru and is a true MVP in my opinion!
Hmm ... Stay up till 5am to finish or wait till tomorrow.
13:50 love it
The last line of Ukai's original voice actor was the line you praised so much! "Don't look down! Volley ball is a sport where you always look up!"
hello sarah professional volleyball player, i'm from indonesia. I really like Haikyuu's reaction, I started watching from the first. very much the same as me his emotional demeanor. Thank you for your time
Since the character of the coach of Shiratorizawa appeared, I just never hate him, or should say I CAN’T.
It’s like… who he has become right now was all because of countlessly being rejected and never had the opportunity. 😢
Which means the act of acknowledging Hinata is another way of denying his own self, his whole volleyball life, and that’s a really painful thing.🥺
I can understand why he just doesn’t want to see Hinata shine, or how he always try to let Hinata know that being short is really fatal and is going to be a difficulty that couldn’t be ignored in volleyball. It stabs.💔
That double save is iconic 🤣
Nishinoya best libero
I just wanna point out, since I see nobody else is doing it, that at min 10:16 Tsuki's hurt hand it's literally shaking, either from the adrenaline or the pain it shocks me every time they show it cause it lasts 2 seconds in the screen but it shows how deeply committed he is to winning that match no matter what and one just have to love him for it
you heard it here first: TSUKKI HAS MADE IT IN SARAH'S LOVE HOUSE!!!! wow the character growth of Sarah. from hating Tsukki's guts to giving a 3-minute rant on how much she appreciates him and how he deserves the MVP 😍 we love to see it
I literally screamed when I first saw Nishinoya’s double save!
It's crazy to think that some of the emotions she is feeling while watching are connected to situations in real high level volleyball experiences.
15:24
We can never be mad at you for this. We watch your reactions for this. You are the real deal here. ❤
Karasuno is just like Nekoma's coach said, during the training camp: they are omnivores, they can eat anything and survive in any enviroment. They "ate" the style of all the powerhouse schools from tokyo, whatever they see fit they find a way to add to their play.

ハイキューの鵜飼監督を通して、諦めず前に進めと背中を押してくれるような声が今でも大好きです。
When Sarah went "NO" at the end of the episode, I felt that in my soul.
I just found your channel, and my god, this is such a fun channel. I LOVE your perspective on being an athlete and the struggles that come with it, its so cool to see, especially coming from a world champion. Keep it up, I love what you're doing!
for some reason i really love that you are always asking for someone to cover even though you should know by now that there is noone to cover, because everyone is going for the hit xD
It’s like watching Sarah character development when she admits that she loves Tsukki 😂
8:58 I never noticed it before but Hinata fell for Shiratorizawas fake while he was on the bench, whereas Tsukishima on the court didn't. What a detail.
I started watching Sarah's reactions just recently and I don't think I recall any espisode where she did NOT say she was getting goosebumps or chills lol
You haven't even finished season 3 and I already can't wait to see your reaction to season 4 🙈 gosh I love this show so much! And really this whole match/season is amazing and your reactions are such a pleasant thing to witness, the excitement and the frustration we all felt while watching it 🤭
Thank you! I'm really looking forward to getting started on season 4! This season was a real roller coaster ride!
I’m really looking forward to your episode 10 reaction because it has some of the best symbolism/imagery in the series imo it’s so intense I remember when I first watched I binged the whole season in one night (it was a school night too but it was worth it) and I was literally on the edge of my seat the whole time it felt like my heart was going to beat out of my chest and I was trying so hard not to yell because my whole family was asleep😅 season 3 is probably my favorite season I’ve rewatched it probably at least 5 times over the past couple years and it never gets old and I love watching other peoples reactions to it
You don't need to apologize for interrupting. If we come here is to listen to you. I mean, if you were interrupting to speak of things that don't concern the episode, then yeah, it would be annoying, but every time you say something it's like I see something new I hadn't myself noticed before and it makes it so much fun to relive the experience. Did I mention you're awesome?
Don't feel bad for pausing, we're here for your insight and commentary! Great reaction as always, can't wait for the season finale!!! ❤
I have NEVER noticed that scene at 7:40 where Tsukki checks in and Ushijima welcomes him back, that's a really cool detail and sign of acknowledgement! I went back and watched your Season 1 Episode 1 reaction, and you asked a question about our favorite episode of Haikyuu, and I responded that most of the best episodes come in the later parts of the later seasons so I wouldn't spoil this episode in particular, but Tsukki's big moment and this episode were the ones I would have said, Noya's save and speech were amazing! Also, I read comments from me responding to "Does Tsukishima's attitude ever get better?" when you were not his biggest fan, and I'm glad we are at the point you get to see for yourself!
It's go time!!!!
Totally forgot that's how the episode ends. I also screamed out no! XD
🙋♀️ I can't handle these cliffhangers!!!
23:15 gen one of my top 10 favorite scenes in haikyuu, the concentration you can see on his face and the way he's scanning and processing what to do is very satisfying to look at
I am so glad that I was able to binge this season after it came out. I would have died at that cliffhanger. Very excited for the season finale and for season 4. Great reaction, Sarah. Seeing you so involved in the story gives me life
Magnificent reaction. Wonderful job. TY for sharing.
The cliffhanger killed me too. I was a nervous wreck for the next week waiting for the next episode. Keep doing what you do, listening to your insights has made me enjoy this show even more. I love this anime and then with your professional experience and breakdown has made me see and understand things I missed from lack of knowledge on the sport. Thank You
loved the reaction. before going to season 4 you should react to the land vs air OVAs. its 2 episodes and they are part of the story. you may also find them as land vs air and the path of the ball i think
Noya's double save proves why I think the libero is the coolest position. An awesome spike is cool but what gets the crowd the most hyped up? What gives the most hope and strength to the team? The absolute biggest morale boost? The libero saving a near impossible ball after everyone thought all hope is lost. It's the coolest thing ever, seriously.
love that sarah also acknowledges the second-year benchwarmer trio!!! GO NARITA!
Ive been following this serie for about a year now and Im so happy were getting to the end of s3 (which is my favorite)
The next episode i think i mustve watch it like 30 times
best reactions imo this episode so far. This match has some pretty legendary plays in the series
As always I love every reaction and I can’t wait to see your thoughts on the season finale! 🎉🎉
So excited for your reaction to episode 10! It’s my favorite moment to see from reactors because it’s just so…eeee!!!
I bet the next episode is gonna show up soon, cause this ending is too tempting to just watch it xD
Finally been waiting for this.let’s goooo
Just love Haikyuu and your Haikyuu reactions sooooooo much and can't wait to see your reaction on S3's last episode and S4!!! (I've already watched Haikyuu for about 10 times or maybe more and it really will be my favorite animate forever QQ)
Sarah!! I'm following you from italy and i really LOVE your reactions and your techincal analyses about this anime that i LOVE!! You're so sweet
I need your next reaction ASAPPPPPPP I’m so excited to watch it pls upload it soon 😩💕
Sarah having a meltdown at the end of the episode was hilarious 😂
Your analysis is GREAT.
ノヤさん、本当にかっこいい！
29:34 Literally all fans' reaction at this ending, I feel you! xD
Tanaka Kazunari, the OG voice actor for Coach Ukai, died at 49 during production. The “always look up” line was his last on the show. What a performer, what a line to go out on. In the season three soundtrack, his last line was the first track of the CD. That is class.
Shiratorizawa's coach always makes me laugh with the "bigger will always be stronger". If it was true, dinosaurs would still roam the earth.
i love your reactions and how invested you are
Amazing reaction🔥👍
Love the cliffhanger but I love your reaction more :D
GOD THIS SEASON IS JUST TOO GOOD IM DEADDDD TOP TIER ANIME
I think the big difference between Hinata and Washijo (Shiratorizawa's coach) is that when Hinata started training and developing physically he didn't have any coach or experienced player to learn from. But he also didn't have someone that would say "You are too short, there's no point in you playing offence in volleyball, you can't score". There was noone do discourage him. So he developed physically, increased his speed and agility, but he was bad at specific skills needed to play volleyball, which he is learning at Karasuno. On the other hand, Washijo had coach, he learned how to recieve, serve, etc., but also his coach didn't motivate him to train harder and deserve the main spot in their team. Instead, he would always say that Washijo had no shot because of his height. And at some point Washijo agreed, forgot about his dreams as a player and became a coach and very good one at that. Now he wants to stop Hinata to prove that his decision was right.
I really like their comparison and this helps me kind of understand Washijo's point, even though I want Hinata and his dedication to the sport win at the end.
Also, yes, Noya is and will always be the GOAT of Karasuno's defence line. If I'm not mistaken the reason why at the begining everyone thought Karasuno was an interesting team is great libero Noya, genius setter Kageyama and strong ace Asahi. Noone knew about other players before this tournament.
And I love how this anime shows the MVP of this match Tsukki, but never forgets other players and their impact, like subbed Narita or the trio of Asahi, Tanaka and Sawamura, who played all 5 set for the first time in their life without getting subbed. This anime is just great!
Rocking the karasuno colors i ser
I was like that at the coach’s attitude too. It does change over time though. That part isn’t close to being animated yet, but I can’t wait for that arc.
Love the reactions ! Remember to watch the end credits next episode like the other seasons!
Even though i already watched i still get excited on every point 😄
Agreed with sarah, Kageyama's dump at match pt was huge. That's why i love him
Make sure to react to the OVAs "Land vs. Sky" and "The Path of the Ball" after S3 and before S4. They are canon and about the Tokyo Spring Nationals prelims, involving Nekoma (and Fukurodani), of course.
my favorite haikyuu reactor! i hope this never ends 😢😢😢
It’s only a tiny detail, but I love the little animation on Tendo figuring out Tsukki was faking the slide hit, just seeing the calculations going on in his eyes before going after Tanaka
I haven't seen it, but I expect tears, at leat a little one
