This was the perfect ending to season 4 Stay tuned for more Haikyu!! reactions and videos, and in the meantime, watch more anime with me on @SarahPavanAnime Love you guys!! 💕

from "i dont see any worth in you" to the one of the best highschool setters saying "im gonna be setting to you one day", what a beautiful moment for hinata

Atsumu: I'm going to set for you one day! Hinata: I don't even know which one you are.

sarah’s adamant “NO” when atsumu said he would set for hinata in the future lmao 😭

All throughout haikyuu hinata always had to ask people to set for him ( kageyama, suga, kenma), but this is the first time that someone asked hinata to let them set for him. It just shows how much he improved and that setter being the best high school setter says enough of hinata‘s capabilities. What a ride it has been. Thanks Sarah for the reactions.

Love that you caught Kanoka on TV. She's the ace on whats basically the girls' volleyball equivalent of shiratorizawa lol

Atsumu wanting to be a setter for Hinata is a huge milestone for him. In contrast with season 1 Hinata he was looking for a setter but no one wanted and four seasons later one of the best setters want to set him.

In my perspective, Washijou acknowledge his ideological defeat back when Hinata scored that last spike against Shiratorizawa. The mean comment about "not sensing any worth without Kageyama" was needlessly brutal, but it was also... A truth Hinata NEEDED to hear. Even back at Shiratorizawa, when Kageyama couldn't play, Hinata usually got benched. Based on the fact that it looked like he WAS a ballboy, Washijou himself probably went through something similar and just made Hinata be in a position where he knew it was possible to learn on his own. I think it's too much credit to say Washijou taught Hinata that lesson, but he still went out of his way to let him on the court. Probably out of pride, he didn't actually sit down with Hinata and taught him shit, yet he did 2 very valuable things: 1. He allowed him to stay and didn't let him play, forcing him to either learn or quit, which makes this more Hinata's own merit rather than Washijou, and 2. That one line "No worth in you without Kagayama" is basically his way of saying "You need to learn how to bring more to the court other than that one quick set". It's not a full answer, but it's a hint. One of the pieces of the puzzle he had to put together in order to change his mindset as a player, forever changing Hinata's fate as a player.

When people are brought together, it triggers a chemical reaction. Somewhere, a world changing encounter is happening at this very moment. It could be happening somewhere in a faraway land. Maybe even on the other side of the world. I believe that encounter was made between Sarah Pavan and Haikyuu. What a journey! Thanks Sarah!

Setting Hinata is not solely Kageyama's job. Just like what the National coach team said, it is a good thing that Hinata found out that Kageyama's not the only one capable of setting the ball to him. They're rivals. So they will have to battle it out in the future to find out who's stronger between them. As for Washijo's feelings, it would be best if you don't ask so you won't get spoiled. LOL

The thing about Atsumu's compliment is that it's the result of what Hinata is trying to accomplish through out the season. And that's to be a good player, WITHOUT Kageyama. Prior to this season, he barely had his basics down and can only score because of the freak quick Kageyama effortlessly sets up for him. Having another setter tell him that he wants to set for him makes it clear that Hinata is slowly reaching his goal of being a solid player in his own right, like what he saw in Hoshiumi (seagull guy).

In the post game interview, the coach of Inarizaki says they needed to be more "aggressive", which doesn't make any sense. However, that's actually because it's a horrible mistranslation. He was saying "tegataku" which means "being careful and firm, being down to earth and not risky".

The quote, in the beginning where the twins lose. "This position.. this timing... this angle.. It's perfect." and how they lose the shot, is a callback to season 1 e24 when Karasuno loses. Same quote I believe. Thank you for the journey with you. Been watching this along with you from practically the start!

Sarah's reaction to what Atsumu said to Hinata after the match Sarah:"NO" Me:😂🤣😂........ 😂🤣😂

And thus ends the gold standard for Haikyuu reactions... Seriously, can't think of a more thorough reactor for this series. You being who you are, I expected good volleyball commentary, but you went beyond that and kept track of all the characters, their arcs, the plot... This was a great jorney, and I can't wait for the day we'll get more Haikyuu - and more reactions. Keep up the great work!

19:53 I think this is the first time I realized the "story about a snake jealous of a cat" on the TV ties directly to the previous scene, with the Nohebi player having to talk about Nekoma.

Thank you for picking up Haikyuu and not giving up on it despite the negative comments. Words can't describe how happy your reactions make me ❤️ I'm looking forward to whatever you'll be reacting to next, even if it's something that I'm not a fan of! Now give yourself a pat on the shoulder and go buy some cookies! 😋

I think thats the best compliment a spiker can get from a setter, "im gonna be the one setting for you one day", its filled with recognition.

27:04 "cat's spying on them" 🤣 I love the idea that Kenma is going such hardcore gamer mode that he's sending out neko reconnaissance

I'm so envious of Haikyuu fans just finishing season four not knowing what comes next. The best volleyball match, best "moment", best arc and best Kageyama-Hinata interactions are still to come ❤❤❤

I love how Sarah got so aggressive when atsumu said he’ll be setting for hinata, I had the same reaction, kagehina 🧡🖤

I just finished Sarah’s complete watch of the series, and yesterday the movie got announced for a May 31 release date in Canada and the US! Let’s get that Nekoma match!!!!

I love that at the post credit scene young ukai refers to the team as his boys. He went from not wanting to be a baby sitter to calling them his boys ❤️

Washijo is actually watching Hinata’s growth ever since that match-deciding back row from Hinata against Shiratorizawa and he knows that Hinata will be able to do what Washijo cannot during his younger years. He knows that Hinata has the “hunger” to forge his way throught the “tall and strong” stigma on volleyball. Washijo is actually a Hinata believer deep inside.

Just wanted to say you very quickly became my favorite haikyuu reactor because I saw how you genuinely became a fan of the show and fell in love with the characters. Definitely going to check out your other anime reactions and can't wait to watch season 5 with you when that comes out!

The end of an era.... for now. Thank you for doing these reactions, it's been fun watching the series again with your professional viewpoint, and your enthusiasm and love of the characters has been a joy to behold.

Thank you Sarah for all the Haikyu reaction videos. I really appreciate it. ..wow just don't know how to say but feel overwhelmed🥹 Can't wait to watch you react to Battle of the garbage dump!!!!❤❤❤

I just wanted to say it has been awesome and a pleasure to be rewatching Haikyuu with your reactions Sarah! Your raw enthusiasm for the characters, stories, and unique persepective as a professional player of the sport really made every release to be look forwarded too. Thanks for taking your time out of your busy schedule and blessing the community with you! 😊 Haikyuu season 5 will be long from now unfortunately, but we'll be following you till then!

Sarah, thank you for reacting to Haikyuu. I've seen many reactors, and you are the best of them. Your combination of volleyball knowledge, passion for the fiction, and intelligence is remarkable. Learning every character's name after a single introduction, even making reaction videos during and after the Olympics---you're a natural at this. This episode takes the Haikyuu anime through 292 chapters of the Haikyuu manga---but the Haikyuu manga is 402 chapters long! The remaining animation will likely not do justice to all of it. Sarah, I've seen so much emotional connection from you to the characters, and there's no reason for you to hold back from reading Haikyuu. Whether you react publicly to the manga or not, if Haikyuu has connected to you, then I sincerely hope you read it! It's very approachable, readable, emotional, completes the story admirably. Thank you again for this remarkable reaction series.

I have really enjoyed your Haikyu reaction so much for long time ! You gave me a lot of fun time. I look forward to next episode reaction in the future.

Saying it's Kageyama's job is very touching but the reality is they were always rivals...they always wanted to play against the other at 100%. Being on the same team didn't distinguish that rivalry. They will not play together forever. Even the National head coach said the same thing midway thru this arc. What's wild is just how right Astumu is in the end :D

YAY I hope you read the manga :)) even if you don't react to it WHILE reading the remaining bit, I'd love to hear your thoughts

3年生が大地、旭、スガさんだった事は日向・影山、そして田中にとって大きな幸運だったと思います！ そして鵜飼さんがコーチになってくれたことも素晴らしい巡り合わせだと思います✨✨

Hello, just wanted to say Sarah what a ride. I deeply enjoyed the entire show all over again through your lens, and had some great laughs too. Loved the volleyball breakdowns but also your openess about how you feel about characters/events and you get into the show. All in all, thanks for making the reactions 😊

Here's an extra tip just 'cause one can never have too many cookies (I just finished watching your reaction) 😄

Atsumu saying he will set to Shoyo, is him essentially saying I will play on the same pro team as you at one point, or the Japan national team, so in one way it is incredible respect towards hinata that people expect him to now go pro.

I didn't expect to feel emotional watching you're reaction to the final episode, but here we are. Thank you so much for this journey.

I love Sarah’s reactions but I think she is wrong about saying that Atsumu shouldn’t set for Hinata and that Kageyama should always be his setter, but the whole relatiionship Kage/Hina is about competing with each other so the natural course of action should be Kageyama vs Hinata in a match. Also, we can see huge hints about some events that will happen next. The matches to come will be amazing epic, especially the next, not gonna say anything more just to avoid spoiling the whole thing 😁

"I wonder what Washijo thinks", 8:10 "let me know". Nice try, Sarah, I can see that bait to get spoilers from us coming a mile away.

I highly recommend reading the manga. What is left of the story is gonna be adapted into 2 movies that most likely will leave stuff out and it's gonna be years until the movies are available.

Thank you for giving Haikyuu a chance and sticking with it till the latest season

@14:27 Kita Going from Captain to Third year was beautiful to see

Congratulations on finishing four seasons of Haikyuu, Sarah! It's been a blast being a part of your Haikyuu journey. To the rest of you guys, you all better follow Sarah's other channel if you haven't already! Anyway, I'm not sure what you're planning to do with your schedule now that Haikyuu has ended. You were technically reacting to two anime episodes a week, one here and one on your other channel. I would suggest picking up a new anime to react to along with Spy x Family, if you wish to continue the two episode a week schedule. Also, I would highly suggest picking some shorter anime, there are many amazing anime that is only 1 cour, or 1 season with 12 episodes. I think the more anime series you cover, the bigger variety of fans you can attract to your channel. For example, I'm sure a bunch of people have recommended Kuroko's Basketball to you, but that's a 75 episode anime. And that's 75 episodes of you only attracting Kuroko's Basketball fans to your channel. In that same time frame, you could cover 6 different 1 cour anime and attract a larger variety of fans. Anyway, that's just my suggestion.

When i finished the manga mor than 2 years ago, i feel really really restless and overwhelm the following days. Haikyuu is really good, a masterpiece. I am excited for the following animation

This has been awesome, I’ll be rewatching your Haikyu vids here and there, Sarah!

Sarah, I have never commented on your videos but I have to say that your reactions are the best I have ever watched about an anime. And Haikyuu is my favorite anime so your videos are just so on point and amazing. Thank you for them and for sharing your work with us! Can’t wait for more Haikyuu content. Love ya!!

Thank you Sarah for recapping this wonderful series that is so close to our hearts. You were very entertaining and your knowledge of the game was amazing. We could tell you really really like and enjoy this series as much as we do. Let’s hope more Haikyuu will be released soon and more recaps from you. Will also continue to watch your videos on your other channels. If you have a chance, watch the Chinese movie called “Leap”. It is a 2020 movie about the Chinese volleyball legend Lang Ping, being played by Gong Li. You will be able to relate to so much of it too, given that you have played volleyball in Asian countries. It would be great if you can react to it too someday.

Your Haikyuu reactions have been the absolute best to watch and follow along with. Thank you for all your hard work!

It was a pleasure to see haikyuu again this time with you Sarah, you are the best reactor ❤

Sarah I can't express how much I enjoyed for your reactions. I have waited religious;y every week to watch Haikyuu together. You were a wholesome reactor that made understand the plays in more depth. Thank you so much!!!

Thank you Sarah for the review of all the seasons, it was fun watching it again with you :)

Thankyou Sarah for your reactions, they really have been so good and refreshing, I just love it! I love that You could love it and appreciete it! Now we all are waiting for more! ❤❤❤

Thank you for this beautiful journey alongside you, with your unique insight and experiences. This was one of the best reactions for the series for sure!

I cant wait to see the continuation of the series and then to watch it again while hearing your reactions. Thank you for being part of my week for the past months. I look forward to the future.

I'm so happy and sad at the same time I can't even describe it, it's been a pleasure ladies and gentlemen, thank you Sara for all the content you provided for us this last 2 years, I'll continue to follow your channel and other reactions while we wait for that beautiful moment when Haikyuu comes back in whatever form that may be.

Watching your reactions and remembering how excited I was my first time has totally reignited my love for this series. Thank you!

Thank you so much for these reactions, Sarah. Loved learning more and more about Volleyball from your expertise and enjoyed your reactions so much. See you here and over at your Anime Channel!

What a ride!! I’m going to miss the weekly reactions to Haikyuu so much! Thank you!

It's been a joy re-watching with you, Sarah! You're hands down the best Haikyuu reactor!! :D

It's been a great experience! I'm so happy you gave this series a shot (and just anime in general). I'll be on the other channel enjoying your other reactions while we wait for Haikyuu vids

It’s been such a blast following your journey, can’t wait for what’s next ! I really hope you will be able to see the end of haikyuu animated, it seriously is a wonderfully told story and the manga was one of my biggest life influences ! I started playing volley ball just before starting haikyuu and slowly watched it when i was learning how to play, so for me this story will forever be linked to the sports itself and i can’t be any happier about it

Thank you Sarah!!very great content and insight

I was a little late in discovering your channel, but I always thought this was the best reaction to haikyuu on youtube that I've seen so far. Even though I've seen this anime several times already, your insights as a pro really gave it a new light, so thank you for that. Now we're all just waiting for the movie/s release, but I do hope you get a chance to read the manga as well. Thanks Sarah! 🎉❤

I'm so happy we've come so far!!! Love you Sarah! Thank you so much for reacting to my favourite anime of all time! I'm already following you in your other channel and just so you know, I'm not staying for haikyuu but for you and your content!!! Stay healthy!!

Thank you so much for reacting to Haikyuu! I have learned tons of knowledge about volleyball from your videos. And your emotions are touching and beautiful!! I feel moved again at the same time even though I have watched this before. That may be the charming point of reaction videos. Looking forward to watch more your videos!❤

Huge thank you for taking the time to do these reactions! I just finished watching the show and started all over again b/c I wanted to hear what you had to say. Passionate, informed, intelligent commentary is rare and valued by me. Catching up on your Run With the Wind reactions (another show I love). Tsurune (archery; kyudo) is a show I would love to see you watch. It's not too long, and it's emotional, powerful and has some incredible characters and team spirit. Plus a girls' team! Who aren't just filler! Though the boys are the focus.

I would like to tell you, thank you Sarah. Not just for watching this show. But also because you have been helping me smile again. Lifes been really hard as of late. Seeing someone like you get enjoyment out of my favorite volleyball anime is so heartwarming. Thank you for saving my life Sarah and Hinata

Sarah I really enjoyed your Haikyuu Reactions. Since you are a professional volleyball player it was awesome to see your insights the volleyball plays and your detailed explanations. Definitely the best reaction to Haikyuu!!! Thanks!!

Not sad that it's over, just appreciative to experience the adventure again with a pro baller like you Sarah!! Thanks for sharing!

I've really enjoyed watching you every week and I'll miss your haikyuu reactions. I've tried other reactions but you just seem to be the most genuine hakyuu fan, which made it extra fun. I've already started watching your other channel, so I'm glad there are still your videos to look forward to :) Thank you for your videos, Sarah 😊

What an absolute delight it has been following you on your Haikyuu journey, Sarah. I've said it before and I'll say it a million more times, but your genuine love and investment in this story shines through with every episode/reaction, and it is truly so heartwarming and beautiful to witness it :') thank you for all your (and Lydia!!'s) hard work putting these reactions out for us, we appreciate them so much! Much love! And so excited to continue watching your reactions on your anime channel (your Run With the Wind and current Spy x Family reactions have been giving me the best weekly serotonin boosts, just like these Haikyuu videos did).

Man, it's so hard to not spoil lmao.

Loved going on this journey with you Sarah. This anime holds a special place in my heart, and I'm so glad you watched it with us. I'll be sure to continue to hit you up on your anime channel as well. 💙

This has been a wonderful journey, Sarah!! It was super fun watching you react to Haikyuu, and you commentary were both helpful yet funny/amusing. I really look forward to your reactions to the upcoming movies that’ll feature the rest of Haikyuu :)) much love

Sarah this has been absolutely amazing. I only found you a month ago and watched through your WHOLE reaction playlist. I really wish I'd found you earlier but it seems I found you at just the right time to reach *this*. I'm so sad to see Haikyuu's animation over and I really hope more comes soon so I can see your reaction to that too. The anime ends here at chapter 259 of the manga, and there are 402 chapters in the manga right now so there's still a lot for them to keep adapting! We can only hope it comes soon. Thank you so much for this series and your insights I'm going to be continuing watching your anime channel as you've become my favorite reactor - your intelligence and ability to remember people's names and when things happened and come up with really solid theories and connections puts you so far above so many other reaction channels. It's been a massive pleasure watching you

Please don't forget that Hinata keeps tabs on how many times Kageyama has beaten him. So there is more of a rivalry than being teammates forever for their future endeavors :)

Thank you, Sarah. You've been a great and wonderful part of my life since S1E1, and it has been a long jorney. From the botttom of my hearth, thank you

Fridays aren't gonna be the same anymore, and all that's left is sending you the biggest THANK YOU for such wonderful reactions and commentary thorughout all these weeks. So happy to have been here for the ride, and I'm starting Run with the Wind so I can watch your reactions afterwards! ❤❤ As for suggestions for future content... To be honest, anything you do with as much passion and care as you did with the Haikyuu reactions is bound to be great, and I'll be there to support in any way I can. Thank you again for making my fridays so special, and I can't wait to see your future projects! Best of wishes ❤❤

Thank you for your reactions on Haikyuu!!, it's so good to see you really enjoyed and loved the story! I'm not gonna lie, the emotional moments made me tears up or cry again 🙈 Thank you also for your little tips or explanations about volley ball, it was so interesting!! 😊 I think I speak for every haikyu fan here when I'm say I'm so hyped by seeing the serie finale (it'll be in 2 movies!) and seeing your reaction to these upcoming matchs 😊

Thank you so much Sarah for the great reactions! I will miss you greatly until the next Haikyuu installment - although I will keep up with your anime channel 😊 Huge shout-out to editor Lydia for a great season!

I am stoked you enjoyed the series! Looking forward to more of your uploads

Finally miss Sarah 😢🙄 been waitin for this !!!

The final episode.. let’s go!

Thank you Sarah for all the love you give to Haikyuu and us. You're the only professional volley ball player I know. We will support you with all our hearts

You're finally done with season 4 🥲 it was great knowing you through Haikyuu and I always look forward to watching your reactions! I can't wait for the Haikyuu final movies to come out and see your reaction to it. ❤❤❤

one small easter egg in this episode was just before they showed the news about the game. the previous news said something like a cat and snake had a fight and snake lost and too bad for the snake or something like that. which is a direct reference to nohebi losing to nekoma :D

The only anime reaction that I watched. I'm so glad I got to rewatch this with you! You added so much.

I feel so lucky to join your Haikyuu journey! 🧡 I learned a lot while watching your videos. I would like to recommend you read the manga because it contains many details and epic panels!

I am normally not into reaction content, but your insight as a high level athlete has been super interesting. Thanks for taking the time to do these.

As an idea, there are many Haikyuu video essays on youtube that would be very fun for Sarah to react. Harsh Reviews and Aleczandxr are the most stand out of the bunch, or Sarah making video essay on Haikyuu would be poetic project.

Thank you for all the amazing videos. Now you can watch the movies with us when they come out❤️

Kageyama and Hinata despite being teammates, and maybe even friends are destined to be rivals. And remember Hinata said in the first episode that he was going to beat Kageyama. That’s going to be difficult when they’re on the same team.

I hope we get more volleyball content from you, no matter what it is. Reacting to your old matches, another "Day in the life", a trophy room tour. I need more Pavan!

Hey Sarah, if you're interested in doing manga reviews/reactions to various matches/subarcs remaining in Haikyuu!!, I'm guessing that you're probably a bit unsure on what format would work since manga reviews are quite different from anime episode reviews. There's a youtuber who does One Piece (a very popular manga) reviews called "Merphy Napier" that I think has a format that would work really well for your style of reacting and love for small character moments and interactions. She was originally exclusively a booktuber (doing non-manga book reviews), but at some point, she opened it up to One Piece, and she managed to strike a nice balance with talking about her thoughts on important story points while also gushing about really fun character interactions, growth of said characters, themes/callbacks, hype moments, etc. A lot of this is taking notes as you read of your thoughts and recording yourself talking about the chapters that you read using your notes as a sort of outline. It's kind of like what you do when you pause the episode to talk about stuff, but instead of that being small interludes, it takes up much more of the content. You can also experiment with splicing in various panels of the moments you are talking about (though just like with the anime, you need to be careful with how much you includes due to obvious copyright reasons). As a note about Haikyuu!! Final (movies), if you care at all about spoilers, then I would not recommend reacting to the trailer that has come out for the two Haikyuu!! Final movies. They are super hype and nostalgic, but man, do they spoil so much (like, everything, including the outcome of some important matches and story direction). I cannot recommend the manga enough since two movies really isn't enough to do the rest of the series justice, and I can guarantee you, they will have to cut out a LOT of stuff to fit it into two movies. To give some reference, season 4 ends off at around chapter 292. That's 4 seasons with 87 (25 + 25 + 10 + 2 + 25) episodes for 292 chapters. I don't want to spoil the exact number of chapters that Haikyuu!! has, but let's just say there are over 100 chapters left, and they're trying to fit that into two movies. There will be a lot that has to go if that happens; just look at the 4 recap movies for seasons 1 - 3, which cover ~190 chapters. As another comparison point, the Land v. Air two episode OVA series is actually ~18 chapters in the manga, which is why so many people don't like those OVAs due to cut content. Anyway, I loved your Haikyuu!! content, and I'll probably keep following you over on your anime channel. I loved your Run with the Wind series, so keep at it, and most importantly, watch/read what you think is fun, as that will make the best content!

Sarah if you're reading this, i advise you read the manga before watching the movies that will come out soon for Haikyuu. The anime studio of Haikyuu is on a big rush right now and will likely cut a huge chunk of the manga's storylines in the process and you seriously wouldn't want to miss that. Whether you'd react to it for a video or do it on your own free time, either way is totally fine. I just want you to experience Haikyuu at it's full glory~

:D Glad to have been with you on this journey, Sarah! I'm really looking forward to the final bits of this story being dropped upon us!

Now that my favorite anime has finally come to an end. I would like to suggest Sarah and everyone in the comments a little something. Head over to channels like " Harsh reviews " and " Aleczandxr " if you feel like you know everything about Haikyuu. The videos that they have made analysing Haikyuu and it's characters are so so and I mean so good, I can't even begin to explain. Their reviews are the main reason as to why I love Haikyuu as much as I do. I feel like I understand the characters so well, relate to them on surface level and truly just...you know love them. Please give them a watch if you are curious about Haikyuu

AHHHH IM JUST REREADING THE HAIKYUU MANGA AND I AM SCREAMING IT IS SO GOOD CANNOT WAIT FOR THE MOVIE/ANIME TO COME OUT AND ALSO YOUR REACTION TO IT IT IS JUST TOO DAMN GOOD

Thank you so much for this series of reactions, it will be missed dearly! We all hope you will pick up more series in the future though its understandable if you stick to genres more suited for your experiences :)

I think the thing that strikes me the most about Kita's "Well, Isn't my team amazing?" moment is that, to me, it's not just "I wanted to play more." Rather, I always felt like it was "I wanted ~you~ to have more chances to play." I'm not sure if I'm articulating this right, but it feels like Kita is content to just be with his team, whether on the court or the bench. Being captain and getting to help guide his team is enough for him. Of course, getting to play would be nice too, but it feels to me like he just wants to cheer on his teammates. Again, not sure I'm articulating this correctly, but it makes sense in my head lol! I'll probably come back to this later and be like "that made no sense" hahaha! Hopefully someone can get what I mean!
