Can we take a moment to appreciate Kageyama awkwardly joining in on the meat dance? You kinda expect it from Hinata, Nishinoya and Tanaka, but even Kageyama got it on the action.

Yachi momentarily scared for her life when that ball flies past her and then resuming her narration, only slightly shaken, never fails to crack me up xD

i love how Sarah naturally went from 'I don't like him' and 'stop it dude' to 'our boy is growing' lmao i mean this is genuinely how many players would react to Tsukishima character development. Her reaction was so real and so on point it's super refreshing lmao I love it when she's jumping into conclusions too it's hilarious and I mean we all did that sometimes too right hahaha

I remember your first impression about Kuroo having Oikawa vibes, and I just laughed so hard rewatching that scene of Kuroo having to flat out tell and convince people he is actually a nice person. lol

Something subtle I always liked is how after Hinata pegs Kageyama in the back of the head, Tsukki is protecting his head on serves. However, the one person he doesn't protect his head for is Yamaguchi

Sarah really pays attention to the details! Love that! She even noticed Tsukki saying nice serve. The top and bottom subs could be hard to follow simultaneously especially when reactors are reacting. As always, Sarah gives the best reaction!❤️

Ubugawa winning Sarah's award for "Most Unattractive Team" has me dying with laughter 😂😂😂 It's so sad but it's true, I don't know why they were the only ones to get those faces

Gosh whenever Sarah does these reactions she looks happy and excited that it makes me happy and excited! Lol I think as a Haikyuu fan, seeing people react to this anime with such enthusiasm is just asdfghjskkshxosnshsabyssv! 😂😂

I love that even at the slightest hint of Kageyama subconsciously going back to what they were doing before, Hinata immediately catches on and gets mad at him for it. Even if that set was done to "help" Hinata and the intention was pure, Hinata knows that Kageyama is learning a new thing right now and is more than willing to fail over and over again while he waits for Kageyama to get it right. It just shows how much faith he has in Kageyama that he completely trusts that he'll get it to work eventually, and doesn't want him to compromise for his sake even for a moment.

One point about Kuroo helping the Karasuno boys: yes he does want them to be at the top of their game so they can have a good match, but it's not just that. Because they are in different prefectures, the only way they'll be able to play each other in an official match is if both teams make it to nationals. To make the garbage dump battle a reality, they need both teams to be good enough to reach nationals and then stay in the tournament until they can face each other. Not a simple task with all the skilled players and teams we've seen out there!

Ugh!!! I LOVE the fact that Sarah saw bokuto’s soft hit off the block and called it as soon as it happened !!! That’s the kind of insight and experience you don’t get from other reactors!!! I can’t wait for Sarah to fall in love with Akashi!!! He’s the true power behind fukorodani!!! I’m such a Stan of him !!!

Kageyama trying to dance always kills me he's trying his best LMAO

I love how Sarah noticed Tsukki started whispering nice serve because that was one of the critical parts of character development journey for Tsukki as explained by his voice actor. I also love it when you notice small details about the brands and barbecue as a joyful reward - you truly do understand Asian culture ❤️❤️❤️

That's the amazing thing about Haikyuu. I don't really think there's been conflict that didn't have both sides having some form of validity through logic or human emotion. There are no stupidily forced arguments -- no conflict for the sake of drama. It's so refreshing to watch human emotions and ambition play out. And as always Sarah's reviews are super engaging!

They're talking about the temperature literally - summer heat and humidity in Japan are no joke, they're very serious about heatstroke prevention measures. Really loved your "ah" at Ukai realizing that Kageyama was trying to help Hinata spike - it's nice that coaches/athletes tend to get this point pretty well :") We usually see Kageyama motivating Hinata, but this is one of the great (and more obvious) examples of how it really goes both ways. Also, Kuroo noticing that Hinata's upset about the match getting cut short and kind of reassuring him that they'll continue tomorrow is something original from the anime, and it's one of my favorite additions. Kuroo really has a soft spot for Karasuno's MBs~ Joking about it as it might be, it's kind of adorable how he admits to wanting to make the coach's wish a reality but then trying to wave it off. So many great dynamics in Haikyuu. The "beating one's opponents at their best" thing reminded me of Yuzuru Hanyu - he also said that he wants to do the very same thing. True competitor's mindset!

Haikyuu is just so well written. That's the biggest compliment I can give this show. Great story, great character development, and the writer clearly knows Volleyball. This thread goes through all seasons of Haikyuu.

I love this episode, just seeing the start of the Bokuto-Hinata Master-Disciple combo, I love their dynamic so much!

I swear Yukawa Koji got all of the blessings for being handsome in the Ubugawa team his hair alone could carry the whole team's image lmfao

27:12 The best part of this imagery is that the visual metaphor of the crown of the "king of the court" is consistent with Chess pieces. Kageyama's crown is always that of the "King", but Hinata's crown is that of the Queen, the strongest piece on the board.

Sarah catching on and laughing at Bokuto-Akaashi banter on her first watch is just precious.

I like that Hinata believed Kageyama shouldn't be doing anything less than the best and that he (Hinata) should be the one doing better.

i am flabbergasted at reactors who don't just burst out laughing at the meat dance immediately,,, it's peak comedy and still gets me everytime

Omg you watched one of my very favourite episodes!!! Love Hinata connecting with the other teams and his own, love him claiming his crown and improving his relationship with Kageyama, and love Yachi seeing this all happen as part of her own growth ❤️❤️❤️ Also I will forever love and remember the meat song 🤤

16:08 You misunderstood Kuroo's comment a little bit. While it's true that Nekoma would want to play Karasuno when both teams are at their best, but what Kuroo meant is that is the actual Battle of the Garbage Dump itself. He said "so you guys have to keep winning", which means Karasuno has to beat the other teams in the Miyagi prefecture to make it to Spring Nationals so that they could play each other in an official match. Since they are from different prefectures, the only time they can play each other in an official match is at a National Tournament, like Summer Interhigh or Spring Nationals.

This ep ended too faaaast. Well Sarah said in her insta that she watched a few eps so I'm hoping the next ep reaction would be soon but no rush

Akaashi is really creative and poetic with metaphors! I was amazed by using "umbrella" to describe a block where you find yourself being covered completely. so glad that Sarah gets it and loves this metaphor!

your energy and affection for our boys is infectious. I've watched this series multiple times but I dont mind spending another rewatch as long as I get to see your reactions! :)

The feeling when you realize you can now do something you haven't been able to before is amazing. It's like.. magical! Obviously to get there you need intense practice so your perspective is often very close and that makes it hard to see the accomplishment as something new, but if you take a step back and appreciate that you can now do something cool repeatedly every time, it's the best feeling in the world.

13:51 why did she attack Ubugawa unprovoked 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I LOVE these reactions haha your love for the series is just so nice to see and your positivity is so infectious! I have a feeling that the parts of the manga that haven't been animated yet are what's gonna make you really REALLY hooked on Haikyuu :)

YESSS! I'VE BEEN LOOKING FORWARD TO THISSSS!!! q(≧▽≦q) Also I find it so cool when Sarah says "I'm an Olympian" because damn....ya'll be living with the gods and goddesses then huh?

I can't wait for her to see the special attack Bokuto taught Hinata xD

@15:00 it feels like if you play a sport enough simply because you love it, you’ll run into people who love it just as much as you and the passion for the sport just makes you want to help each other out. In my paint bullets days, we were ranked 1st midway through a season and practiced at the same field as the 2nd place team. It didn’t matter, we’d help each other just as much as we’d help randoms who showed up from other fields. Everyone loved the sport so much, you just wanted to share that passion through technical knowledge. Man, I love this show. It always feels so real.

I am always so happy to see Sarah coming out with a new episode. I am pretty sure I have seen literally every serious reaction channel for Haikyuu and nobody does it this well. (Also am I the only manga frog thats kinda excited by a particular late story arc featuring Hinata and Oikawa? and Sarah view on that one? :P - I bet Manga frogs know what I am talking about)

Sarah: Lefties always cause problems for people, so watch out for that! Me: *laughs in Season 3*

I just binge watched all your reaction vids as I just discovered you a few days ago. Keep up the great work!

man he said "it should arrive around noon" in the show and I looked over at my clock to see what time it was...

The best part of my week is finally here. C:

LMAOO Sarah has no chill, poor Ubugawa guys

Sarah you by far have been my favorite reaction channel for Haikyu, I absolutely love how much you connect with the characters, it makes my experience feel reciprocated.

Hey hey hey!!! Another good reaction. Yes, Hinata learning and Bokuto being his role model is just priceless. They even have the same personality.

friendly reminder. Smash that like button on Sarah's videos to give the best Haikyu reactor more ❤️. She deserves it.

Sarah, I have watched 5-6 Haikyuu reactors on yt. You are definitely the best. Great attention to details of both volleyball and the subtitles.

I'm really hooked on your reaction videos. Waiting for the next reaction after a week is a big test of my patience lol. It's such a pleasure to revisit Haikyu!! with you.

Another awesome reaction. Sarah is so cute geeking out about volleyball.

FINALLY HERE, I LOOK FORWARD TO THESE EVERYDAY

Always love your take on these episodes.. your videos make my day 😊🥰

Note to the editor: "Churoo" made me legit LOL.

I have a final in 2 hours but I’m so excited watching your reaction video!

Yay! Sarah is back with another banger of a reaction!

omg i have watched all your reaction for the past 3 days and I can believe I am already on this one. the one thing I love about your reactions is that you understand its an anime and are not judging it based on real life which makes it fun to watch. i have watched this anime like 10 times but listing to your commentary is a whole new experience. i love it keep them coming

i love how whenever the boys do something good and something wholesome, you look so proud like they're your kids 😆

Karasuno is leveling up 💪 this season is so good, I’m glad you’re enjoying it!!

Sarah video dropped during work? THAT'S LUNCH, PEOPLE!

I'M IN LOVE WITH YOUR HAIKYU REACTIONS😍🥰

Love your reactions as always Sarah! And yeees this arc is my fav of the series, next chaper definetely one of the best for me! Super excited to watch your reaction to it! Until next time!

Pumped I cannot wait for you to react to the next couple episodes

Best reaction to Haikyuu I've seen so far! And it's even nicer to have come across it while there is still so much ground to cover , including some of my favorite moments in the whole series.

Sarah, I'm so happy when another video shows up!!! Ganbatte (do your best) Love you

I think we all can agree that Haikyuu is the most realistic work (manga/anime). The way it organizes facts and experiences of various players and presents those unsaid emotions that go into volleyball (and generally in the sports world) is really commendable. For me, I've never really been much of a sports person and after Haikyuu, I've started to watch matches as more than just my favorite team winning-losing.

I love your reaction!!:)

Yachi protection squad~

I really love your reactions

Great reactions, I love how you are as invested in the story as you are in the volleyball being presented in the show. Soon after the camp is when talk about tournaments will start again and it might get confusing, so I think it might be helpful to summarize it now, since the show goes over it kind of quickly and it definitely confused me a bit the first time I watched it: - There are two big tournaments in the show, they are referred to as the Inter-high and the spring tournament. Both of those are national level tournaments with representative teams playing from every prefecture - The Miyagi prefecture in which Karasuno plays gets one representative only. For the inter-high that was Shiratorizawa, who qualified by beating Aoba Johsai in the last round of the qualifier. Although not shown in the show, Shiratorizawa got knocked out before the quarter finals of the inter-high by an unknown team (aka we never learn the name of the team). Fukurodani made it to the quarters and was beaten there by an unknown team - For the spring tournament there are two qualification brackets, lower seeded teams like Karasuno have to play through the first bracket, to qualify into the second and the winner of the second bracket will be the representative of the Miyagi prefecture. Teams like Shiratorizawa and Aoba Johsai are automatically seeded into the second bracket. - After the qualifiers conclude there is a bit of an off season before the spring tournament starts in January, during this time is when training camps are usually held - At the national tournament about 50 teams play, with some prefectures only having one representative, while others have multiple. Lastly I have a question for you, but it is related to something that happens way later in the story (the anime has not reached this point yet and likely won't for a few more years), if you want to completely avoid spoilers then I understand: SPOILER WARNING---- After highschool, Hinata chooses to practice beach volleyball in Brazil for two years, with the aim of improving his balance, awareness of the court and ability to track the ball, since beach volleyball is a 2 person game, instead of a 6 person game, so each person is responsible for much more. As someone who played professionally in both sports, have you noticed a difference between indoor players and beach players when it comes to balance and awareness? Have you noticed it in yourself after making the transition?

UGH the whole training camp is So Good!!!

when you said ubugawa wins the award for most unattractive team i actually let out such a surprised laugh that i spat my lunch out over my desk 😂😂😭😭😭🙏

This is dope! I enjoyed your reactions very much :))

This is getting more and more exciting and like nobody does better! Our champion!

Amazing reaction as always ❤️ Thank you so much!! I hope you have a great week!!

Anyone other than me hear that one comment and think Nooo it’s too early, wait til season 3 😂

The dub version is also out there and the voice actors are amazing!

I always love to see Bokuto and Hinata together. Those father and son moments🥺♥️ Thank you for these reactions Sarahhh♥️

Ohh! I didn't expect the video to be early, i was gonna sleep but i gotta finish watching this before i do😴

17:28 Yeah about that.... All I can say is "JAPAN!" IF you know what I mean 🤪🤭🤭

This episode really is a turning point for our boys! Great reaction as always 😍😍 And also BAR BE CUE!!!

these reaction videos are literally the best thing ever

I always saw the teams helping out as a "only steel sharpens steel" kind of situation, as well. The better your practice opponents are, the better you get by playing them over and over. Also, how quickly is Bokuto entering your love house, Sarah? HEY HEY HEY!

I just love every Hinata-Bokuto interaction in this anime!

Thank you for reacting!

13:42 holy cow out of no where Sarah just murders the whole Ubagawa team

Man, I'm already waiting for your next reaction to drop

Kudos Sarah on predicting that Hinata would learn how to use the blocks 😆 imagine how we the viewers feel whenever you make a dope volleyball prediction but we can’t say anything haha. I just love that you’re so observative and immersed. I always like the video the moment you make me smile, which is usually pretty soon into a reaction. Reminder to take your time with the show, let us know if you need a break between arcs :)

Hey, Hey, Hey!

Sarah keeps being the biggest mood

When the length of the subtitle sentences in the anime are long, it gets cut due to the oval shape of the overlay. Can you please add the subtitles separately or let the anime subtitles be seen completely?

The fact that when the others on the team are up to serve Tuskishima covers the back of his head but when Yamaguchi serves Tuskishima DOESN'T cover his head (sorry if I spelt his name wrong) (and that is all I gotta say lol)

Great reaction/insights once again. Usually, I give my personal opinions about the iffy subs while showing my support, but this ep didn't have any major problems (unlike some other eps). If I were to be picky, the "What?!" at 9:05 surprised me a bit. 「何で？!」is more like "But why?!". Hinata is merely asking for the reason behind not practicing together, but "What?!" makes it sound like he's more offended than a simple "Why?!".

It’s my first time watching a reaction from you and I lost it when you put Kuroo as a churro lmfao

meat tends to be pretty expensive in japan, most protein comes from fish and seafood and the like, so although meat is fully part of the average diet, something like a barbecue is still very much a treat, hence the excitement.

yeah, i love this season best but i also look forward to the 4th season reaction from you :)

aaaaaaaaah youre my fav reactor

17:30 she made a comment about lefties, I'M SO EXCITED TO IYKYK AAAHHHH (i know she's a lefty too.)

you're back!

Akaashi's hard save is one of the things I remember and aa 18:43 i lOVE THE INTERACTION AND I LOVE THEM UGH 19:40 wipe//block-out always some difference between what they say and the subtitle Like how setter dumps are vocally called two-attack's. 20:24 yep yep yep _long time comin'_ 21:40 aa hearing it and thinking about the umbrella or whenever I see some tooling I can't help but think of this amazing thing SOMEONE does with their arms/hands and it's not animated yet so i just gotta scream to myself and select online strangers 23:00 trying to tamp down my huffs of laughter 'cause I'm rooming with two people I forgot Shibayama had this skill/moment oh right! _this_ game :))

Amazing reaction!! 🔥👍 "Nico Nico Nico Nico........ "

In my opinion, season 2 & 3 are the best so far, season 2 is more about team developing, meanwhile season 3 is more about the tournament

the churoo tho AHHAAHHAHAHAHHAHAHA

The anime overdramatizes the "toss that stops" by making it look like it actually stops forward momentum and drops at the desired distance, which is physically impossible. What I believe Kageyama actually does with this toss is giving the ball significant backspin, which could affect the ball's trajectory via angular momentum from the backspin working against the angular momentum of the parabola.

Yeah, Kuro and Bokuto, they deserve nothing less than my purest love.

12:48, In the dub, Hinata says "I use it for volleyball, duh!"
