I'm so worried about Daichi!! But.... this episode has the back-story I've been waiting for, and a lot of amazing stuff is happening! There were some amazing episodes in season 1, and Haikyu! season 2 really started off strong, but this episode will probably end up as one of my faves from this season. I had goosebumps the whole time!!

The name "Ennoshita Chikara (縁下力)" comes from the Japanese proverb "En no Shita no Chikara mochi (縁の下の力持ち) - a powerful person like a pillar that supports the roof." The meaning is "a person who makes efforts and struggles for others in a place where others do not look." The name suits him very well. Daichi, his name also suits him, the name means "the earth."

It is a habit of anime storytelling to play with their names, but in Haikyuu in particular it is done a great extreme, and IMO success. The name of each character, and of each team, has a particular meaning, allegory or "ring to it." The easiest examples to grasp is how most teams are paired with animals (the Crows/KARASUno, the Swan/SHIRATORIzawa, the Cats/NEKOma, the Owl/FUKUROUdani) and how this informs the way they play. The crows are the smartest bird, they are ingenious, inventive, scavengers. The cats are dexterous but sleepy, they can play with their food as much as they can be vicious killers. The swan is grandiose and majestic. Regarding the players, you have the Hinata/Tsukishima pair. Hinata Shoyo which is something like "the sunny place where the sun soars" in his name, he is overly outgoing, energetic and moves on instinct; while Tsukishima Kei has the moon, he is perceptive and logical to a fault, he also has the island which poetically can refer to been somewhat lonely and the Firefly.

@s_lasgalen 2 жыл бұрын

@@Yama_no_Kitsune another thing about Moon and Firefly - Moon doesn't shine itself, it only reflects the Sun's rays. It seems at first that Tsukishima isn't initiative and isn't really much but when you get to know him better, you find out that he actually does shine. Like a firefly who shines timidly but produces it's own light, Tsukishima reveals himself in the future as the hidden weapon of the team.

I like how Sarah accurately predicted, with such confidence, that Ennoshita was gonna take Daichi's place. Not only did she get this right , she even noticed/remembered that one line Ennoshita said in season 1 about him once running away. And bear in mind this is only her first time watching the show! A lot of other reactors were not even aware of Ennoshita's existence at this point and many of them just went "oh who's this guy". This is why i find Sarah's reaction very enjoyable. Keep it up!

@mukullataroy2195 2 жыл бұрын

Also lol Sarah's never going easy on Oikawa or Tsukishima. Don't worry, Sarah, neither Tsuki nor Oikawa were being malicious this episode! Oikawa and Iwaizumi were very seriously talking about concussions and know Daichi's worth as the captain, and are wondering how it would affect Karasuno to play without him. On the other hand, Tsuki can tell that Yamaguchi already knows what he did wrong and also knew, like Ennoshita (who told Ukai as much), that it would just make him feel worse to talk about it on top of that. So internal conflicts aside, there's no animosity among the characters here 😊

Oikawa in this episode acts as a narrator of sorts for the viewers. Haikyuu always finds a random character outside the match to scatter some exposition, in every episode, so the story flows well. It can be an audience member, Ukai & Takeda, the other bench players etc etc. So Oikawa's not being mean here, just summarising the 18-14 points at the end there, in a few sentences for us 😆

I half disagree with this comment, and one of the reasons is another misunderstanding earlier in the video. When Ennoshita checks in and Tsukishima says "Oh, so it *is* you Ennoshita-san" it isn't meant to be mean, it's actually a half-compliment as Tsukki figured Ennoshita was the only realistic substitute for Daichi in this situation, which is in my opinion a pretty high half-compliment considering the episode emphasizes Daichi's role in the team. Tsukki originally only cared about Yamaguchi in a manner of co-dependence, Yamaguchi was his lackey and he was the cool quiet tall guy nobody is going to pick on, now Tsukki's learning to break out of his shell and take criticism, as well as be understanding.

Really love the beginning of the episode with Jouzenji - Terushima is a great character to emphasize Daichi's importance to the team. Ennoshita's story arc is one of the first major indicators that nothing in the story is going to go to waste, ntm it's executed in such a nice, relatable way q_q You're right, this was mentioned in S1! And when they show all those little tidbits here of him controlling the second-years and actively getting to know the first-years on the sidelines, you have this "oh damn that's right" moment of realizing that he's really putting a lot of effort into this, even if he doesn't get as much screen time.

Sarah's one fault is her extreme dislike for Oikawa. It made her misunderstand most of the things Oikawa says. A lot of times, Oikawa is mischievous, but he's not evil or has bad intentions when it comes to volleyball. And if Oikawa were hoping for something, then he definitely hopes that Karasuno wins because, as he stated before, he wants to crush his junior setter, Kageyama. He would not be satisfied with a Karasuno loss.

There's something I think I learned fast while watching haikyuu and I think is mostly bc of my way of absorbing content specially stories which is by just letting it flow and not expecting things or jumping to conclusions cuz at the end of the day it's a fictional storyline that will show me what I need to know through the narration and the characters....and bc of this mindset the thing I learned around season two was that.... THERE ARE NO ENEMIES OR BAD PPL IN HAIKYUU and that's the most realistic thing here, it's not about having a villain, it's a story where, like in real life, you have characters that have different personalities and are living their own story and have their own goals and dreams and so everyone have flaws and virtues so that mindset helps a lot to accept all the characters in HAIKYUU eventually, cuz y'know at the end of the day they're not evil they're just highschool players that might be sometimes cocky or childish or ignorant but that will always be a starting point to change and develop, it's such great writing HAIKYUU has.

The concept in Haikyuu I love the most is that while passion is great, it can't be manufactured. Forcing yourself to do something you love is the fastest way to stop loving it; sometimes as Sarah points out, taking some time away from something you love when it gets hard can remind you how much you miss it when you're not doing it. To quote Haikyuu itself: "It's such a hackneyed expression, but I still think its important. You know, taking your time."

I really love that injuries and illness are taken seriously in Haikyuu. My biggest criticism of Slam Dunk (Haikyuu's spiritual predecessor) is that injury doesn't seem to be taken as seriously, or at the very least it's seen as macho and admirable to push through injury despite the danger of further injury. I get that it's a cultural thing in Japan to basically work and push oneself into the hospital, but I'm glad Haikyuu doesn't support that particular cultural element.

I think the First years just going as they should. They just accept the substitution and go on like Ennoshita is the captain of the team. All of them already accepted that if anyone that would replace Daichi as the captain position it would be Ennoshita. kageyama asking Ennoshita for gameplay approval and Tsukishima smartass way of acknowledging Ennoshita is just a way to show how they view Ennoshita. Soon to be captain of Karasuno. I believe Ennoshita didn't feel like pressure are put on him rather he is surprise that the first years go on like it was nothing special. Tsukishima doesn't say anything cause he know yamaguchi already know his mistake and if Tsukishima said something at that moment, I believe the words that came out off his mouth would be a bit hard for Yamaguchi to handle cause Tsukishima is a smartass all the way. 🤣🤣🤣

The line that Tsukki says to Ennoshita when he comes on is actually fairly supportive. He's basically saying he kind of expected to see Ennoshita come on because he's the obvious best choice. He's trying to show that he doesn't question the choice to bring on Ennoshita at all. It's only natural that they would choose him. As for the rest of the first years, they're trying to put him at ease by moving forward and quickly integrating him into the captain role by talking strategy with him. They're telling Ennoshita "You belong on the court and you belong in the captain seat right now."

I love the REAL of Ennoshita's story. I've seen tons of kids do this. I'm like you're in the trenches with me let's keep going, but somehow they fall to the wayside and never knew what happened. Atleast he came back, the decision plagued him for awhile I often wonder if that kind of decision plagues people in real life today. What could have...should have been?

Sara, a lot of people watching haikyu may or may not be very informed on volleyball but there’s a lot screen pan outs and commentary to kinda fill in the blanks if anyone is missing connections (Oikawa). Also Tsuki wasn’t being salty he just already knew it would be him because he recognizes his as a 2nd best next to daichi for leadership

I think it's weird how so many reactors just think Oikawa is malicious/evil all the time. Sure he's competitive, childish, snarky, petty and selfish... but he hasn't even said anything wrong yet. He's always on point. There are no villains in Haikyuu.

i might be off base, but i feel like his character and personality is a really common trope in manga/anime, and if you're someone who reads or watches it often you might be used to that (and understand that you're not supposed to hate him; on the contrary characters like him are often some of the most popular lol). but maybe people who aren't used to characters like him, like most haikyuu reactors i've watched who seem to be new to anime, just kind of read it a little wrong. and in general they tend to look for "bad guys" and assume there have to be some, and oikawa comes closest to that. that said, you know, sometimes people just don't like characters, and that's totally fine lol. i love oikawa immensely but his personality isn't going to be for everyone, though i get that it's frustrating when it feels like people are misinterpreting things he does or says. mostly i'm reeeeeally curious to see if reactors' opinions of him change after they read the whole story (or whenever the anime catches up to it). 😌

(but also i think i was destined to love him because his playfulness that masks deep cunning and ambition is my kind of character. add in self worth issues and he's just 😙🤌. so while he might not be to everyone's taste that's okay because i love him all the more for it haha)

Your content is amazing and I love watching your reactions. I just wanted to say that recently I was practicing as an OH which I don't usually play and I got a chance to play against some over 18 players which was challenging. For the first time ever, I managed to hit the ball directly through two blockers and past the libero in the back row. So far that's probably the best moment in my 10 month volleyball career so far and it's been fun watching your reactions and videos as I progress.

Sarah, Oikawa is not a bad guy. I am sure a lot of Haikyu fans already told you. Haikyu spent a lots of time for character development and it doesn’t have truly evil character. If Oikawa is really a bad, he would not any advice to Kageyama. Oikawa is Kageyawa’s mentor and Kageyama still has a huge respect to Oikawa. Also Oikawa has never criticized either Hinata or Kageyama in public. He only said in front of Iwa chan or Kageyama himself. This applies to Ushijima too. Oikawa and Ushijima deeply care about Kageyama and Hinata developments as volleyball players. I don’t know why you got a little annoyed by what is Oikawa said. Look at his face. Does he look sad?

One of my favorite episodes of HQ if only because “side” characters like Ennoshita and Yamaguchi get to be front and center, and it just makes the show so much more well-developed and deep. Furudate-sensei is a master.

As far as Dai's injuries go, having a tooth break in the way he did especially a molar ment a LOT of force. He also didn't just "lose a tooth" as only the top crown portion came loose. The root structure did not, meaning not only would the injury be painful from the impact but he has a broken exposed nerve. Very painful and as a lot of people already know head injuries bleed a lot, and it's the same for inside your mouth. For example when removing a tooth, someone depending on some variables may bleed between one or more hours. Possibly less but the clotting is still quite fragile under the 24 hour mark, especially if doing physical activities that increase blood pressure. So, such an injury in the oral cavity and to attempt to enter again into the court not a great idea. Some athletes you hear of doing this, have a lot of pain, assuming they could get the bleeding to stop well enough to continue playing/participating. I cringed seeing this scene initially because I understood how painful that had to actually be, especially as his adrenaline wore off once leaving the court.

I feel like a lot of reactor just assumed the worst out of him, especially those who already put him in a dislike bench. I have never perceived Oikawa as malicious or hateful, at worst he was childish and annoying towards Kageyama. Sometimes its frustrating to watch someone painting his actions in a malicious way thus clouding their commentary with contempt and judgement. The reason i respect Sarah's reaction a lot, is she never let her dislike towards Oikawa overshadows her commentary about Oikawa's talent and drive as an athlete. She admits he was damn good at his job. This are those little moment when you just wanna tell the reactor while they are watching. "He was just informing us the viewers that Daichi's role is too big that it might be hard for Karasuno to get out of this 🥲"

U were incredible in that match too. U do remind me of Tsukki with less attitude and far more experience and skill. Ur blocks were just too good. I want to see both of the champions in one screen. Make it happen please.
