Enjoyed your discussion. What I like about Suga's gratitude for Ukai saying "next time" is it shows that Suga thought this'd basically be his only chance to play. He went out there assuming that's it, and trying to make the best of it. Something nice about that. Language nerd comments: 21:42 - I think you got this, but in case the white screen was weird, Suga catches himself about to tell Kageyama "kate-yo," as in "(you) go win this," as in, it's your game to win now, not *ours*, and then self-corrects. - I think they never really explicitly say what a "break" is, but there's two different meanings, and both come up here and often going forward. So, basically, in volleyball, (unless you're a monster server like Oikawa), it's hard to win multiple points in a row. (Like the opposite of tennis) The "normal" pattern is 1 point team X, 1 point team Y, 1 X, 1 Y, back and forth. If you can win multiple points in a row, you "break" that pattern and can get a lead. So, winning a point on your own serve (and therefore 2+ in a row) is the standard meaning of a "break." The other meaning of "break" isn't really used outside Japan, but they just mean ending a streak of points. Oikawa got 4 or 5 in a row on his serve, so they wanted to cut off that streak. Outside Japan, they'd call that a side-out, but in Haikyuu (/Japan in general), they'll call that a "break" too, sometimes. :/ 14:10 --> brief correction to the subtitles. Ennoshita (#6, the "guy with no exposure") was saying that Suga doesn't yet know Tsukishima well, not the other way around. 14:53 This line is huge, I think. Ennoshita: "So, if our spikers could hit at 100% of their ability, don't you think they could handle it even if they go up against a couple blockers?" All this time, Kageyama has been thinking that it's on HIS shoulders as the setter to make a play that avoids the blockers. That's not a bad thing, but it's as if he thinks that the spikers will inevitably lose or not be able to do anything on their own if he doesn't make the perfect play himself. That's a lot of pressure on the setter, and not a lot of trust in the spikers.

I was so glad when you started reacting to this anime. The character arcs are so beautiful in simple ways. And it's great to see someone else having similar thoughts on arcs or completly new takes.

Thanks for clarifying that, I actually didn't pick that up about the white "win" screen.

I love this episode. Sugawara is less talented than Kageyama but his gentle and compassionate leadership elevates his teammates' skills to another level. Kageyama, who is insanely gifted, doesn’t know how to communicate with his fellow team members but now he got to observe the epitome of a great team player in action. Suga is Daichi's closest friend in the team. I guess that's why he tolerates his lecturing.

I just saw your YouTube notification on 1x6 and it reminded me for here. At 10:00, when Kageyama is quoted as saying "Kindaichi's... I mean, Radish's... I mean... #12's quick attacks" I'm not sure why they changed the subtitle from "turnip" in 1x6, but it's the same vegetable. Kindaichi is still a "turnip" (I mean, I guess a "rakkyou" is closer to a green onion than either a turnip or a radish, but same same)

The group shots are always nice because they make you feel what the players are feeling, almost as if you're on the court with them. They're also one of visual elements that help understand where the players are on the court (and if you're a volleyball nerd, how they rotate based on which team scores). What I love about Suga's last play is that from beginning to end it's the third year's play AND that the ball follows their jersey numbers: (1) Daichi receives, (2) Suga sets, and (3) Asahi spikes.
