"You know what feels the best out of everything? Winning."- Alex 2023. Loved the reaction as usual, your Haikyuu reactions were what made me finally become a patron after supporting you on YT since I had discovered your Attack On Titan reactions. Really stoked for Mob Psycho 100 Season 3 reactions that I know are about to start and also if you are unaware Vinland Saga Season 2 began yesterday so obviously will be highly anticipating those reactions whenever you're able to return to the series.

I love this episode. So much great stuff with Hinata's growing reputation, Asahi finally seeing over the wall, also Aone is probably my favourite non-Karasuno player.

The animation on Aone’s eye flashes and thundering anime steps was crispy as hell.

Don't forget that when Date Tech beat them by blocking all of Asahi's spikes in the last game and when Nishinoya was suspended, Nishinoya mentioned he mostly worked on block receiving, or digging up the ball after a spike gets blocked. It's one of my favorite details of these early episodes that mostly goes unnoticed in reactions because it's just a quick line while so many other things are going on

[It got long again, sorry. :/ Little creeped out by Best-Melonist, but impressed with your figuring out all the names, haha. Anyway....] Language nerd comments: - You'll see there's three people allowed on the team bench besides the (up to 14) players: the "Manager" (Shimizu) wears an "M," and "Coach" wears a "C," and the "Director / Head Coach" wears a "監" ('kan' in 'kantoku'). In Japanese, "coach" means more like a technical advisor or an assistant. The official head of the team is the kantoku: for Karasuno, that's actually Takeda-sensei. So technically, Takeda is the one who has to call timeouts, make subs, etc. On paper, Ukai is just there to help Takeda, but obviously in practice, he's calling the shots. That whole "de jure leader vs actual puppet-master" dichotomy thing happens A LOT in Japanese sports, business, and so on. - Tiny, kinda inconsequential thing, but the two guys from the Neighborhood Association that came to cheer on Karasuno: when the blond guy (Takinoue) says "Who knew it would be so packed?" he's actually not talking about the volleyball arena at all, haha. He said "I mean, for once there were actually a lot of customers (implied: where I work)." He couldn't skip out on work until his customers left, and then he rushed over to the game. It's not that the arena was so packed they couldn't get in, obviously. - Ukai's last speech at 23:00: he wasn't predicting a specific moment to come. Rather, he was saying, "the real competition starts now." Like, up until this point was just the warm-up. Now, everyone knows everything. From now on, it's a different style of game, trying to adapt to the other. - Your opening speech about Asahi: I feel this intensely whenever I think of players eventually coming into retirement age. You're doing the same thing you used to, but everything's working just that little bit less, and less, and less. It's very hard to see successes you had as what they were, and not spiral into this mode of thinking that you were truly a failure and imposter all along. My dad played in the NHL for 16 years, and I'm still not sure he's really dealt with those feelings well after retiring. On a less personal note, Christiano Ronaldo now seems to be going through a very public and painful example of what you called that "crisis of self." - One thing that might not come across in this context is how truly HARD it is to do good read blocking. So much happens, and so quick, that watching the attackers, the setter, and the ball and responding effectively to those movements is really rough. You need to understand the opponent's system--what options they have and when they tend to use it--and you need to coordinate carefully with each other or you could end up colliding or getting in the way. Anyway, I feel like people watching this episode might just think, "well, why doesn't EVERY team just do read blocking, then?" The answer is because it's actually really tough to pull off well, especially in high school. Even in pros, it's more common in a long series of games where both teams know what the other is bringing to the table than a first encounter.

Interesting, I didn’t know how hard read blocking was. Also, thanks for sharing that about your dad, it was very interesting. I don’t watch hockey, but I still find it interesting. I think this anime gave me a greater appreciation for sports.

That's really interesting about your dad. Athletics has gotta be one of the toughest careers in that regard in that there's such a hard cap on how long you can participate at a certain level.

Oh, how interesting! My 2nd cousin once removed, Teppo Numminen, also played in the NHL.

Very cool. :) My dad played with a bunch of Finns. Jyrki Lumme and Esa Tikkanen are the ones that stick out in my memory a lot, but they were great players, and still are great people.
