I think I got tears in my eyes at least 3 times this episode. Even though episode 3 was light on volleyball, it was full of emotion and feel-good moments for my heart. We get to see some of Yachi's backstory, and we see how HInata is able to be a great friend and source of inspiration.
I loved this episode of Haikyuu! and if I am already feeling this way this early in the season, I'm not sure my emotions can handle the rest!!

I'm a little later than usual commenting here, but I just wanted to say that you guys are a bright spot in my week! Reading the comments that have been posted so far has made me smile, so thank you for your kindness, your vulnerability, and your interest in what I'm doing! It's been a rough week, but you have made it much better!
You are the best sarah 😍🥰
You have created a beautiful community here. I don’t think I ever seen any toxic comment in any of your Haikyuu videos. Whatever life throws at you, you can always come in here and feel the support of all your fans. You created this. Use it when you need it haha.
Positivity breeds positivity! Your videos always bring us smiles, so we hope our comments bring you smiles too❤
You’re the best Sarah, and I hope you know your videos are absolutely a bright spot in all of our weeks too!
Your reaction videos are one of the things I look forward to every week
This is going to sound weird, but I've watched Haikyuu countless times, read the manga even more than that... and this STILL is one of my favourite moments, and it involves almost no Volleyball.
It's an often forgotten fact that if Yachi gave up and didn't join Karasuno, the away games would probably never have happened as they wouldn't have been able to afford transport.
By sticking to her guns and believing in herself, Yachi improved the lives of everyone around her as well as her own. It's inspirational honestly.
Not weird at all, I've also watched haikyuu many times and its still good but if you want a sports anime that slaps you with a full range of emotions then diamond no ace is a masterpiece in that regard. It's hugely underated honestly.
@@shortznig2938 underrated, you can say that a 100 times more. I'm honestly sad asf why people don't watch and react to diamond no ace. I think it's because their patreon people don't recommend it, cuz they themselves prolly didn't watch it either. Diamond no ace is insanely good.
@@satwikk9896 if more big reactors pick it up it'll get the exposure it needs. I'll keep bringing diamond no ace up in reactor comment sections cuz it needs the love. Also Hajime no ippo is a banger as well.
@@shortznig2938 True, but it has to start somewhere. I hope one of the big reactors picks it up somehow. Then more ppl will watch it and recommend to other youtubers as well.
@@shortznig2938 Yes. I was looking for Diamond no ace reaction and couldn't find much. Don't even mention Hajime no ippo. I would love a series of boxers reacting to Ippo as well. Both flew pretty much under the radar.
Yes finally a reactor that realizes the mom was just using tough love. Thank you Sarah. I don’t get why all the other UA-camrs still don’t like the mom after they show her being proud of Yachi for being confident and helping her with the poster
Agreed, Yachi's mom is a full-time ad exec AND a single mother, which is difficult anywhere, not just in Japan. She's had to really be strong to find the level of success she's had, and is just overcompensating a little hard in trying to build that strength in her daughter, but it comes from a place of love and concern for Yachi.
well, to be fair, you can recognize the mom's tough love approach, be happy/touched she's helping yachi with the poster, and still not like her as a character. alternatively, you can be okay with the mom and also be critical of her parenting style. none of these are mutually exclusive, and they're totally valid!
speaking for myself, i admire the mom as a career woman, but not as much as a mother lmao. i am a bit biased bc i have been in yachi's shoes myself and regardless of whether something's coming from a place of love, it doesn't undo the effects it has on a child. like, the assistant makes a comment that the tough love is probably why yachi is so negative, and it's unfortunate that her response is "if she's going to give up bc of what i said, then she'll just have more difficulties in the future." for me, that's what rubs me the wrong way. it's great that yachi is able to move past that with hinata's support, but she could very easily not have, and why i'm personally not a huge fan. anxiety isn't something that can always be brute forced.
that said, i do appreciate the realism of yachi's home life and all the nuances contributing to the mom's parenting approach and how she expresses her love!
The poster reveal never fails to make me tear up, even years later. Hitoka perfectly captured in the poster what she saw and how she felt the first time she saw Hinata fly.
a small but significant detail you probably missed is that when hinata came across the poster yachi made for the fundraising it was being displayed at the same store he saw the little giant play and fell in love with volleyball for the first time back to when he was in middle school (if you remember that scene the show opens up with. little hinata passing by on his bike and watching the little giant on TV). the poster yachi made also says “the return of the little giant” which might be cathartic to hinata, realizing how far he's come and that he can be others people inspiration too 🥺 this show man
this gave me full body goosebumps, I love this full circle moment!!!
The author of Haikyuu, Furudate Haruichi, used family drama very sparingly cause they were afraid of messing it up, but when they did, it was always top-notch! ;A;
Sarah, you're so in tune with the story your reactions make me stupidly emotional :") Thank you so much for regular uploads!!
@@Biryani2148 I can't imagine haikyuu without TrianaNero's love and work, she has done so much for the fandom
so glad to hear that. this week was so hard for me too and kind of disappointing but you made it much better and easier to recover. your videos make me so happy and give me so much hope and motivation. thank you.
I've said it before but riding the high of watching this reaction I want to reiterate how excellent your videos are. This is one of my favourite episodes and I love Yachi and her story so much - so to see you completely understand and relate to every important beat was immensely satisfying. A lot of reactors I've seen also get very confused at the "Townsperson B" thing for some reason, but you just got it right away and because of that were able to appreciate all the conversations about it. I'm just so happy to see it, thank you Sarah.
I myself also thought my parents were so harsh and unsupportive when they would always question my hobbies, my activities and my choice in academics back then. I really felt that I was not doing the right things and I am like a Townsperson B compared to others who are going to law school, medschool etc. But I persevered and followed my own track and when my parents saw that I was doing fine and now thriving in my career, I could only feel a sense of relief and genuine happiness from them.
It's a tough kind of love, which I guess is more pervasive in asian families. So I kinda understand why some western reactors don't fully get this episode and would be critical about Yachi's mother.
Seriously agree with this. I feel like Sarah is the only person reacting to haikyu on UA-cam that is truly understanding all the little nuances while sharing her insights with us.
I honestly am disappointed with you probably know who when she kept asking what Townsperson B meant. It’s either she’s so dumb or not really paying attention. I’m honestly expecting Sarah to get it right away and i’m so glad she really did and more 👍
I like to think that it's because Sarah is actually the only one that is paying more attention to the show than to her camera.... otherwise, they'd be so dumb that it would be sad (wouldn't surprise me tho).
Thank you so much! I am so emotionally invested in all of the characters... the volleyball aspect is just a bonus for me.
also i love that as an athlete you understood hinata and kageyama's struggle to explain their natural hunger to compete. “do you need a reason not to lose” is one of those lines of wisdom this show throws that got stuck to me since the very beginning. specially as someone who fears taking challenges of any kind. as always your emotional understanding of the themes haikyuu subtly touches is amazing !!
When I first started watching haikyuu, I was in a very bad place with my mental health, since then haikyuu has been my comfort anime and will forever have a special place in my heart. Watching your videos is like reliving this experience, its so comforting and wholesome and I am so greatful for this. Thank you so much
@@TownspersonB its so unreal how much of an impact a show or a story can have on ones life, its truly special. I'm sure you'll get through the hardships you're facing, you got this ^^
Guys, you need to watch Diamond no Ace. I've watch so many sports anime and always came back to Haikyuu!! so that i've watched the whole series for about 5 times. Then i found Diamond no Ace from random comment on youtube. DnA is as good if not better than Haikyuu!! ❤️❤️❤️
"I hate losing more than I like winning" is such a great line.
That one Kiyoko's little speech she made about people not needing unwavering will, a lofty motive, saying that sometimes all you need is a little curiosity is one of the rare things in anime and maybe media in general that has just... stuck with me forever.
It's so well timed, it has the perfect context and is just so well worded, it literally jammed itself inside my brain.
Shojo manga is like, "girls" manga and typically it's romance! It's a trope in romance manga for one person to grab the hand of the other person hand and run and drag them someplace like, to see the sunset or to show them something special idk lmaooo. It was cute to see Hinata do that trope with Yachi
Also trains and train stations in general are also a big trope. The whole situation was checking all of the Shojo boxes lol
I'm not sure if you noticed but the volleyball poster Kiyoko put out to recruit a manager and players is super goofy looking 😂. Kiyoko's weakness is talking and art.
my 14 yo cat is sick, university is hard, I feel like my life is falling apart BUT these will be 30 minutes and 36 seconds of pure serotonin.
Also, the place where Hinata sees the poster made by Yachi is the same where he saw the little giant in tv for the first time.
Hope your cat will be better soon
I teared up just the same. my whole childhood I felt like Townsperson B, just a side character no one noticed, until a friend asked me to join his dance team. And I worked hard in it to learn what I wanted. and it continued through college in other clubs too. I felt like I became a main character in peoples story, especially in my own. since then I feel like i've dipped back down to being a side character but not quite a townsperson B. but gaining that confidence in HS and college really was the best time of my life and all thanks to someone dragging me to a club with them.
watching these with you makes my love for haikyuu continue to burn just as bright as when i was waiting for these episodes to air every week
Haikyu must be hell watching weekly, damn near every episode is a massive cliffhanger
@@Lord_Cynrik i watched season 2 in small chunks, but season 3 i watched every episode when i could each week and it was AWFUL. of all seasons, that’s the one i probably should have watched in one run haha
@@jlynnese fr especially near the end of season 3, so many episodes end in the middle of a fuckin deuce
Sending you love Sarah!! I cherish the time I get to spend re-watching this alongside you. I've said it many times in my comments to you, but your empathy is on another level. You have such a wonderful heart, and I adore your videos. I wish the best for you! Thanks again for all you do, your community really loves you.
I love you guys too! ❤️
I had a feeling Sarah would be getting teary eyed with this episode. Specially the scene with Yachi and her mom at the subway, it's one of the most wholesome scenes in Haikyuu.
Also, about the scene with Hinata and Kageyama explaining their desire to win to Yachi, I don't think most people realize the importance of that scene because of how subtle and low-key it was. The author was basically telling us that Hinata and Kageyama both posses the mindset of elite level athletes. You can teach someone to be faster, you can teach them to be stronger, but it's much harder to teach someone to have an insatiable hunger for victory, if it can even be taught at all. That hunger for victory is, it's what separates elite level athletes from the rest. The fact that Sarah picked up on the importance of Hinata and Kageyama's conversation so quickly, because she herself is an elite level athlete and could relate, I just love it.
One thing I love about this episode is that up until now. Yachi has been slouching the whole time. But after Hinata convinced her to tell her mom her feelings, she started standing straight up. The feels
I'm not sure if you noticed since it was a small line, but Yachi said last episode that her mom works at a design firm, hence why Yachi had access to a good quality camera to take those shots and the software at home to make the poster, and why her mom was so helpful in refining the graphic design. Thank you so much for the reactions, I look forward to them every time they come out!
I’ve seen quite a few reactions of Haikyuu and yours are THE most satisfying by far. You’re attention to the details, picking up on the foreshadowing, not overthinking things, understanding that theres a culture difference here, I can go on and on.
I found a new appreciation for this episode after watching Ms. Sarah's reaction. She's one of the few reactors who does not miss the small details of each episodes that other reactors often miss/misinterpret.
On the first few seconds of first episode of first season, Hinata was riding his bike passing by a television with Little Giant on it and being inspired, and now he passed by the same place but he saw a poster of himself becoming closer and closer to who he idolizes the most.
it's amazing that no matter how many times i watch haikyuu the love for the caracteres just grow and it's amazing to see that there is someone that almost cry in every beautiful scene like me, love your reactions and the love that you have for everyone.
One thing about Tanaka’s short hair, buzz cuts and shaved heads are perhaps stereotypically associated with monks and Buddhism. That explains why he’s often jokingly shown praying but also why the other characters call him baldy. Buzz cuts aren’t common in Japan and so even though he does have hair it’s short enough for other characters to tease him about it.
Wow just wow i have to say that today you became my most favorite reactor ever! I was expecting to see you lil disappointed coz there is only a lil bit of volleyball in this ep but you genuinely love the story the characters and everything! You pay so much attention to every lil thing and to see you genuinely loving my most favorite anime ever makes me soooo happy i can't even explain it thank you so much for reacting to this amazing show you made my day! Cannot wait to see more!!
This episode always leaves me ready eyed. Yachi’s little arc is incredibly sweet followed up with Hinata seeing that post of himself, on the same storefront that he fell in love with volleyball all those years ago… It’s just too much.
He's not her husband, but they know each other. He's a friend from work.
your fixation with asahi's hairband is hilarious 😂
Absolutely love your excitement and love for Yachi's mini-story. It's a great lesson in passion and determination and finding your voice, and the best part is that it's not even a story from one of the players! It's a testament to the great writing of Haikyuu, how the show perfectly encapsulates the emotions and the growth of people and the love for the sport. Love your reactions, Sarah! I love how you're 100% attentive to what's going on in the show and even have a good memory of previous plots and episodes, that it really comes across as you having a genuine love for the show. Thanks for this reaction and I hope to see more!
I remember crying watching this episode almost 10 years ago. It's not flashy, but the message really hits home ❤️ definitely one of my favourite episodes from this wonderful anime
I've watched Haikyuu many times, and many reactors. My god, you're the only one who 100%, what i'm saying, 200% got all of the FEELINGS on that episode, as it desserves. Personnally i could only appreciate it as much only because i watched it several times. I'm sure the first time, most of the things went over my head.
Thank you, that was awesome to watch you understand and appreciate what so many of us appreciated too.
Love watching Haikyuu with a pro! Can't wait for all the episodes to come!
yachi's mother may come off as a little harsh initially but that may be because she is either a single parent or her husband is ot with them a lot. And she has work to do, meaning Yachi is left alone for the most part, so she wantts her daughter to be able to be strong and independet when there is no one to help her make a decision.
Her initial comment about "not giving your all in a crowd of passionate people" is extremely true, as well..Tsukki will also struggle with this as he isnt as passionate as others(atleast on the surface) and as such he sttruggles with fitting with his team. Yachi's mother was conncerned that Yachi would feel out of place and isolated in that crowd if she couldnt understannd their reasons and work hard to keep up with them.
When Yachi got introduced I wasn‘t so sure about her, being the little jumpy ball she is. But this episodes gets me every time. After the first season I feel like falling in love for Volleyball all over again! First Hinatas rocky way into a real team and now Yachi getting really into it! And there is so much more to tear up about in the coming episodes :3 I can‘t wait to see your reactions because it‘s like seeing myself getting so invested in this little crow group ❤️ Thank you so much Sarah!
Idk if you remember one of my comments on a prior video, but if you do, you'll know why this episode is extra special to me and my favorite episode in the series. I used to photograph my high school's sports, and have kept up photography throughout the years, and the reaction that Hinata has when he sees the poster in the window is the exact kind of feeling I always try to give to the people I photograph. I want them to see themselves the way I see them when I watch them doing something they're good at and passionate about, and be like, "Whoa..."
Hitoka Yachi, forever my favorite character in the series, because the show demonstrates that even the people who are not athletic, not part of the team, are socially anxious, and don't know anything about a given sport... they are still valuable, their contributions can still be meaningful, and they should be appreciated. I typically *don't* like feeling seen; I like just blending into the background most times, but Yachi in this show makes me feel seen in a good way.
I can't count how many times i've watch this and YES! i'v teared up and cried in every part that make you feel that way.
Season 2 of Haikyuu its really emotionally driven and since we have this empathy for all characters its difficult to not feel and care about them! (sorry for my sloppy english!) I lov your reactions videos and your countent, it's makes me feel accompanied.
Ugh!!! Watching your reactions makes me feel like I’m watching these episodes for the first time !! I say this all the time when I comment on your reaction videos but it’s great being able to relate to another athlete who appreciates and can relate to what the characters are feeling because we’ve gone through those situations as well !! I can’t wait til we get to season 4, stock up on your Kleenex!! I love all of it!!!
I can't explain how much I love your reactions. It's amazing to see how you manage to understand the core messages every single time even though you are new to Anime. I also love how we can see how much you feel and are able to relate to while watching.
Always looking forward to your videos and keep up the great work :)
To watch your reactions is like falling in love with the show again ♡
And yeah I cried a lot. Every time I watch this. The moment Hinata jumps in this slow motion mixed with the music is one of my favorite moments ♡
The best coment i seen so far about hinata was: he is a little ball of sunshine. nothing more accurate than that.
Right👏 "Hinata(日向)" means daylight, "Shoyo(翔陽)" means "flying around in daylight" indeed!! Thank you😄💞
No doubt Sarah, you are the best Haikyuu reactor I've seen hands down🙌🏼 Every episode that you react to made me feel like I'm watching them for the first time again! Every time you react to a certain scenes that made you feel happy or sad, i was like "Oh my gosh, me too! I felt that too! "😆Love that aside from giving professional opinions about volleyball, you genuinely enjoy the storylines and truly understand them...Most importantly you remembered all the characters name so far👏🏼👏🏼I'm truly happy to see that! For this episode, yesss i totally agree with you, SHE'S A CUTIE PIE!!😍 Can't wait to see you react to ep 4 already hehe❤
Your reactions always make me smile and also borderline cry at times, you get it I’m sure. I love this show and watching you watch it lets me relive how it was to watch it the first time all over again with arguably better commentary😂 Thank you so much for loving this the way we love it and sharing it with us so freely. You’re amazing and we’re happy you’re here♥️
This is probably the fifth time I've seen this episode and the poster reveal makes me cry without fail, so I was looking forward to your reaction -- it didn't disappoint. 😂💕It's also really satisfying seeing you immediately get Yachi's "Townperson B" metaphor and her relationship with her mom too.
Sarah, it's been an incredible experience watching all of these moments with you.
Thank you for showing your emotional connection to the characters. ❤️❤️
Love this episode! It was so awesome to learn more about Yachi, I really loved her from the start as well XD.
I have a couple of clarifying notes for you 😁
Just in case you don't already know this, shoujo manga is aimed at girls and usually has these very sweet romances. So when Yachi is being pulled along by Hinata and says she feels like she's in one of those stories it always makes me smile XD.
Also, it's totally fine for you to call her Yachi. As Yachi is her last name that's what most of the characters will call her. Her mom calls her Hitoka for obvious reasons XD, and Kiyoko calls her Hitoka because she is a younger girl and they are friends 😊.

@Ervin Yukihira Alright, fair enough, thanks for correcting me! 😊
"Do you need a reason to not want to lose?"
I think that's one of the deepest quotes I ever read.
Not deep in the sense of I FOUND THE MEANING OF THE UNIFERSE, but it explains what life is
DO YOU NEED excuses to want to do thing? Do you need excuses to want to enjoy? You don't need reasons to want to do something.
Don't care about why you want but WHAT you want
Hi Sarah, I found your reactions over the holiday break and ended up marathoning through all your recaps (and then immediately re-watching all of s2-s4 of Haikyuu, because how could I possibly stop there!). I’ve really loved your reactions, but more on that a little later.
From watching your videos and the way you connected with the more quiet, emotional scenes, I really wanted to learn more about you and your career, so I listened to a bunch of podcasts that you’d done. And woah! Woaaahhh!! It was when your beach partner described you as “the best indoor and beach volleyball player in Canada” that it really hit me how lucky we are to have someone of your skills experiencing Haikyuu with us! Suddenly those videos when you casually mention training for the Olympics take on a new light now that I realise you were going for gold…… (a million Yachi-style apologies!! I’m so so sorry for how oblivious I’ve been!!)
I’ve really enjoyed listening to your stories about your career. If you wanted to, I’d love to hear more about going through your national junior programme (this is what I think about now whenever I hear Hinata yell, “Japan!” at Ushijima - Sarah, too, also went through junior nationals!), what it was like playing for the senior national team at 16, the US college circuit, playing professionally overseas, and switching to beach to pursue your Olympic goals - whether in separate videos or as these moments end up resonating with you in Haikyuu, I’d really love to just hear more.
I’ve loved how thoughtful and intuitive your reactions have been. You pick up on so many small details for a first-watch, it’s impressive! The Losers is one of my favourite episodes, and Haikyuu has to me always been a show that not only celebrates talent but shows how hard the “geniuses” work and their own doubts and barriers. It’s the emotional side of Haikyuu that makes it a really special show for me. I’m so happy to find that side resonates with you too!
So sorry for the long rambling! I’ve subscribed and also started watching your other volleyball videos. Watching your beginners guide videos, this week I found myself thinking, hey maybe I could give volleyball a go too! - I’ve never been an athlete so I surprised myself here haha.
Thank you for all the great videos! I’m excited to see what’s next!
(Also shout out to your fabulous editor, Lydia - I see those animations she puts in and they are so much fun!!)
I like Yachi.🥰But many people think she doesn't like her personality. But you're glad you like her.
The story of Yachi is really moving! From the next story, I think there will be more characters you like! I'm using translation so there may be a weird context😰
My favourite character is about to appear....HEY. HEY. HEY.
hey hey hey😂😂 I love him too 👏😚😘
*our favorite character
So, I think that that one of Haikyuu's main themes is that you need other people to see how amazing you are (or can be) at something because it's really difficult to see that for yourself, and that this has been true from the very first episode (indeed the very first scene) - Hinata sees the Little Giant and that sets him off, Hinata's temporary teammates see how driven Hinata is, Kageyama of all people sees Hinata's potential, and the senpais see them all.
And this episode really emphasises that this is not just something to know about volleyball but about life in general, which is why it's definitely one of my favourites. Hinata sees all the awesome in Yachi that she (and her mother) can't see, even in little things like making revision notes. In turn she can see how Hinata's hops are inspirational, which Hinata can't see on his own. Literally. Unless they put mirrors all round the gym, which would be weird, and a little distracting.
That he then rolls up on his bike and sees himself in the same place as he once saw the Little Giant is just *chef's kiss*
The soundtrack in this episode is so awesome. That violin during rally and hinata moment 🎧👌🖤
Yes, Yachi is the only child, one of the very few in the whole manga/anime :)
Academy, School, Homework? They can all wait!
I don't know if you noticed, the poster of Hinata jumping was at the same place where Hinata saw the little giant on TV!
I did notice! 😍
after Haikyuu I totally would love to see you reacting to some slice of life animes. you empathize with the characters perfectly!
Tobio is just a precious baby 😍
.... to be honest i cry like, every episode 💀 haikyuu just gets me!!!!! it's so wholesome and heartwarming and hopeful!!!! and i love your reactions so much sarah. you really do understand all the nuance of the story, not just the volleyball, and it's such a pleasure to watch 🥰
I get so proud every time you get something right. I remember when you started this and kept saying you didn't know anything, but now you're just immediately getting everything. 😤👏👏👏
Sarah is the best reactor to Haikyu on UA-cam, period.
Sarah just wanted to watch some volleyball and Haikyuu is out here throwing her feelings over mother/daughter relationships and finding inner strength 🤣 love this show, you never know what you’re gonna get.
Hi Sarah, really loving your videos, I'm also tearing up at most of these scenes and I'm 40yo grown man !
You are by far my favorite creator who reacts to haikyuu(: I can tell you genuinely understand and care about the characters
One more joke that's hard to catch: at 19:53 when Hinata says "I won't let Yachi-san 'kindness' go to waste", he uses the word "koi" for "kindness". A few words, or kanji signs, can be read as "koi" in Japanese, but it's mostly used for "falling in love" or a "crush" on someone, that's why Yachi becomes so flustered. Then she becomes relieved when Kageyama recites the definition. It's always so funny to me because it shows how oblivious they are. ^_^
Watching your reaction to Haikyuu is always the highlight to my day! I honestly believe that you “win” with these episodes in terms of quality, editing, and reacting. Your take on one of my favorite series is refreshing and I look forward to the next!
Hey Sarah, just a small thing… I understand that there are copyright issues but for your own personal sake, you should watch the opening at least once. There’s a new one every 12 episodes or so.
This one in particular has a segment of a receiver trying to follow Karasuno’s insanely fast offense that I’m particularly fond of.
Also, the song track on this show is ALL bangers.
My wife tried to skip a Haikyuu opening once and I was like, “How dare you?!”
The humor in tskki’s ask is their is a really reason for need the moon role is the best 😂😂
Momma Yachi is tough but she reminds me of a combination of my mom and dad. That speaks a lot about her being a single parent (like what most of us assume). She's amazing!! It's good that Yachi met someone like Shimizu and Hinata and the volleyball team ❤
Don't worry, we're right there along with you for the tears. This episode (among a bunch of others in this show) never fails to get the waterworks going a little. Seeing Yachi give it her all, Hinata being awestruck at the awesome poster YACHI made for them! And the fact that it gets donations coming in - people can sense passion and drive in things no matter what it is, and it's infectious!
Loving every bit of this journey with you. Looking forward to seeing you enjoy the rest of the season 😊
SARAH YOU ARE AMAZING it's been such a joy watching you fall in love with all these characters and with Yachi (my precious anxiety ridden girl) and just everything aHHHHHHHH TYSM for these reactions!
It's good you don't read the blurbs as there are spoilers in them.
not to blame yachi mom though .because she is single mother and just want yachi to be independent herself.The fact yachi's mom very love her.And she always support yachi whatever her doings as long yachi put all efforts.
Thank you for the reaction, so much positive vibes)))
I love your reactions. You are so honest and fun to watch. Thank you for these.
Btw, when Yachi blushed extremely outside her home when because Hinata said “I won’t waste the effort she put in her teachings” or something like that, the word he uses is “Koi” that most commonly means “love”. That’s why when Kageyama explained the meaning she was… relieved?
It isn't a strict rule, but in Haikyu, most characters are introduced in pairs. I really enjoy Sarah's guesses. I don't think she has watched enough shows to have developed 'anime instincts', but her volleyball knowledge puts her over the target so often, it is very impressive.
Yachi is her family name, but to be honest, the name Hitoka is very cute in my opinion.
If you're getting goosebumps and all teary now, season 3 is gonna floor you! Can't wait for you to see it!
i have no question. but i have a friendly warning, u gonna shed many more tears of joy for this show going forward. cheers.

This episode is still one of my favourites in the entire series. Yachi reminds me a lot of myself and her growth in this episode really hit me in the feels. Loved your reaction to it too, I'm right there with you Sarah, I definitely teared up and had goosebumps multiple times during this episode.
This show has taught me many life lessons, it was my first anime and it will forever be the best for me.
Every haikyu season is a heavy hitting season for your emotions, I cry basically every episode of the entire series lol
Yacchi is such a cutie. U will love her more n more . This season has some intense moments and goosebumpy moments waiting for you. I you can upload any faster plz do , ur reactions are by far the best . U connect with the characters ,which is very important for me then the plays since u r an Olympian and world champion u analyse is perfectly. If u can upload any quicker plz do ☺️ . Looking forward for the next episodes . Its safe to say I'm obsessed with this anime🥱🥱And yeah I did have same emotions that u had while watching this episode 1st time and now too.
Takeda-san offering to use his savings for the team is just… When I was a you get I was a pretty serious swimmer. And I swam for an athletic club with a pretty prestigious soccer history that was then going through a pretty rough patch, so while our team was doing pretty great, the club was spending most of their money on the soccer.
My swim coach wasn’t getting paid every month. His paychecks were often late, getting later and later and at one point he was about four months behind. Dude was dipping into his savings just so he could keep coaching the team.
Coach Ukai is also on the same boat tbh. He's not an official coach (technically, only Takeda is official hence why they need him to legally ask for timeouts during competitions) so he's not being paid by the school or anything (it's a typical thing for high schools in Japan to just get a faculty member to coach a sports club, unless your school is a powerhouse). That's why he felt like he had to help out in their family's farm during early mornings as seen in season 1, bcos he didn't want to be a burden to his family and just rely on them to earn money.
That is some dedication and selflessness, very impressed
oh this is gonna be a great one, yachi is so sweet
Sarah once more delivers a splendid reaction vid! Season 2 will be a wild ride!
I love seeing your reactions every week. I can't wait for the next episodes, and yes next episode you'll meet some new characters too. Love you always Sarah 💗
*Also, Yachi is fine, it's how we call her too✨
Wow I caught it super early! Love your reactions! S2 gets better and better, hope you enjoy it :)
A reactor that cries from amazing Haikyu moments....yes please!
P.S. Can't wait till you watch season 3....
It's hard for people who are very goal oriented and driven to understand the mindset of someone who's hesitant or listless in their wants or desires, and vice versa. I love this episode because it really shows that there's not much of a separation between interest and obsession, it really only takes that initial step to fall in love with something.
I get where Yachi's mom is coming from. Nothing is more rude than not putting in your all with passionate people. I helped to run a small club as the vice captain of a small club sports team and while I was dedicated, putting in time after school, making sure to have things set up and reserved only to have team members not show up for practice or bother even calling to tell me they weren't going to show up. At the time, I was very tight on money too, living dollar to dollar trying to put myself through grad school with no additional assistance, and spent a precious 25 dollars (I know its not a lot but that was a weeks worth a groceries for me) to buy a cake for the clubs first anniversary. Not a single person showed up to practice and though I was giving it my all, where even the captain was failing to do his duties, even though I cared to put in the work even though I hate going out, people seeing it so casually and not considering the people putting in the effort is infuriating.
The series is an all around feel good show. You learn a lot, cannot truly hate a single character, strikes viewers emotionally. It's GREAT!
fully agreeed!! Furudate-sensei definitely loves all who love volleyball so no baddies appear in haikuu😄💕 everyone is heroes☀️
Hey Sarah, I think after this episode or after episode 4 (I don't remember well maybe someone else can clarify) comes an OVA episode. There's not much volleyball involved, but it's cute and funny like all haikyuu episodes. Nothing happens if you don't watch it tho, so I guess is up to you to watch it or not :)
as always, love the reactions!
I was going to comment something about it too, cuz watching the ova after the season is what i did, but timeline wise it really does feel like after next episode is when to actually watch it continuity wise for the story.
Edit: correction of my wording.
