What is your interpretation of Atsumu's "Goody Two Shoes" comment? I know we've been over it when I watched solo, but Adam and I were discussing it so I thought I'd throw it out there.

I mean the show explains to you the true meaning of "Goody two shoes" later. At the time, I didnt really know what he was trying to say lol. But yeah (Spoilers) he calls him Goody Two shoes because he followed any spiker's "orders" or preferences even if they caused bad habits instead of pushing them to their limit. Kageyama has past trauma with his past team where he got isolated because he was a very demanding person (he was just not doing it the right way) so he doesnt want that to happen again.

yah the goody two shoes comment is brought up later again so explaining it is definitely a spoiler but its an interesting discussion.

I feel like "goody two shoes" probably sounds a bit worse in English (though in this context it def doesn't sound like a compliment in Japanese either 😂)... i don't remember what the discussion was the first time about sarah misinterpreting it, but frankly I think you're both pretty much spot on? That comment does get expanded upon in more detail later but I feel like it's a rather straightforward comment in that sense.

Not the gingerbread men dancing alongside Karasuno kids 🕺🏽👀🤣 I love Adam’s insightful comment on Washijo’s coaching. This is something that normal watchers like us would never pick up. Hope you guys will eventually read the manga and learn more about him😉

Think about the goody two shoes comment in the context of Kageyama's growth as an athlete and a person throughout all the time we've known him and in the future as well. That's how it made sense for me.

the way I've always interpretted the goody two shoes comment is that he was too accommodating to his hitters. following exaclty what his strikers want to a tee. Also insinuating that's not always the best choice. To kidn of push the idea further I think he's recognizing kageyama's immense skill but saying that being a goody two shoes is kageyama holding back as well. I won't get into how it ties into atsumu's character now or how I think my interpretation is proven later. Once we get to those episodes I'll probaby say more

Happy new year, you guys! I have SO many things to catch up on cause I wasn't watching ANYTHING the last few weeks XD Just a quick note for Adam regarding Washijo-sensei - Kunimi is on Seijoh, not Shiratorizawa, so Washijo doesn't have anything to do with his passing form. He probably does have an effect on Ushijima and his form, though. Not sure how much you can say about the rest of the Shiratorizawa team, but I don't think it's debatable that he is at minimum a very effective coach. I think even most people who take issue with some of his methods and psychology would agree with that. But he's a really interesting character, most importantly.

I think the show does a very good job in answering the "Goody Two Shoes" question eventually, but I will still say this: SPOILERS AHEAD: "Goody Two Shoes" I feel is in reference to (in Atsumu's eyes) Kageyama overcorrecting in learning to be a team player. Before, he thought he knew what was best always, and scolded his teammates for not keeping up. Whereas now the pendelum has 'swung too far' and Kageyama is *always* listening to his teammates; however, Kageyama is a 'genius' of the game so sometimes he DOES know better and SHOULD correct his teammates, instead of just being complacent when it satisfies. Atsumu is, I agree, calling Kageyama a bit spineless, and it's absolutely a shot.

That conversation between Hinata and Hyakuzawa is one of my favorite moments from the show. Just classic ray of sunshine Hinata and the "take it easy" music that plays when the ball is floating in the air *chef's kiss* As far as the goody two shoes thing, one thing I love about Kageyama's development over the course of the show is that it's not a simple straight line towards the "correct" way to play volleyball. I love the idea that after his trauma of his middle school 'King of the Court' days and after getting advice from Oikawa he's objectively improved as a player and teammate but he also may have over corrected and entered 'goody two-shoes' territory. So now he sort of has to figure out the middle ground and unlock a style that actually perfectly works for him and his team

the way I interpret goody two shoes is kinda how people judge parenting. are you being good to your child or are you spoiling them? are you accommodating your hitters or are you letting them get away with whatever they want. I agree, it's a strange observation to make after like two days of camp together. i could see a teammate or someone like oikawa make that comment but atsumu saying that was jarring for sure

Paula Solar Ruigomez

In my opinion and I won't spoil anything, you'll understand the "goody-two-shoes" comment when you see Miya's behaviour on the court Also Kageyama is a very literal person, he takes comments and attitudes at face-value. He doesn't get subtleties or metaphores, that's why he overthinks whatever is said to him all the time.

Idk what everyone was on you about Sarah lol “goody two shoes” is fighting words where I’m from! Especially when I was younger 😂 like it’s literally name calling and something critical. I understand what Atsumu was saying it in regards to (and it will be explained in future episodes) but it doesn’t change the fact that he was clearly confrontational all while wearing a condescending smile. Poor Kageyama isn’t terribly good at reading between the lines but still 😅

riddle

Yeah no I think you guys are right that it is a shot at Kageyama. Like to me it doesn't really matter what the interpretation of "goody two shoes" is, (it's explained in the show later on so i wont comment on the meaning of it since some people consider it to be a spoiler), but to ~me~ I would take it as him taking a jab at someone. Because if you have a criticism about someone, which in this case it's how Kageyama plays on the court, why not just openly state your opinion as is instead of giving somebody a label? Calling him a name instead of speaking what you mean, to ~me~ is insulting lol. For example, at work I would rather a coworker tell me "hey I think you're working inefficiently, maybe you should do this instead", rather than just calling me incompetent or something and leaving the conversation at that LOL. (If it wasn't clear, I am not saying this is what Atsumu meant by his statement, I am just giving an example of how I would prefer people to communicate with me). Though I am very similar to Kageyama as a person in the way I read social situations. And Paula on here said Kageyama takes things too literally which causes him to overthink things, so maybe I am also overthinking it? LOL. Having rewatched Haikyuu a ton of times and read a ton of people's comments on the subject, I still haven't been able to see it any other way but maybe it's just the Kageyama in me, who knows.

riddle

Exactly! He was def being condescending.

Ah the infamous "goody two shoes" episode that always causes some confusion. I won't say too much, but I think it's MEANT to be somewhat unclear to make us, and Kageyama, think about it. That aside, there's SO much good stuff in this episode!! I love both of your takes on Tsukishima's reasoning for inviting Hinata to practice—I definitely see it as both him wanting to practice against all types of players (something he's barely started admitting to himself) and also feeling some subconscious guilt or bad for Hinata for not being able to play (something I can't imagine he'd ever admit lol). I feel like it ties in well to his thoughts from the last episode too, the "ugh, whenever Hinata is buzzing around like that it makes me feel like I need to do something too." It's all a cool subtle way to show Tsukki's growth in both his willingness to try and his subtle acknowledgment that Hinata has something he can learn from. Also as an aside, I do wonder what Tsukki thinks of Washijou not inviting Hinata. Tsukishima knows from his experience of finding out that the Little Giant was Karasuno's ace, and not Tsukki's older brother like he had always thought, that short players shouldn't be underestimated. And I always wonder if Tsukki thinks it's a little naive of Washijou not even to consider inviting Hinata because of his lack of skill, when other arguably less skilled, but tall, players did get invited (Hyakuzawa); and that that also contributes to Tsukishima asking Hinata to extra practice. There's something Hinata can offer as a practice partner that no one else at the camp can. And ah, the whole "take it easy" sequence is so great!! There's a shot a few episodes back where the other campers are talking about Hyakuzawa saying "I'm so jealous, he's at a totally different starting line," but the visuals of the shot are of Washijou teaching Hyakuzawa's proper receiving form—he's still AT that starting line. And I always liked how that one moment kind of foreshadows this whole scene—he's got this huge advantage in his height, but no skills yet to go with it. Now those same guys who were jealous of him are dreading being on his team for the 2v2s. And of course, Hinata COULD get caught up in all of that too. Compare their skillset and realize he probably is a better technical player at this point, but he was still passed over because Hyakuzawa has something he can never have. It's the kind of thing that I think would get to most people, but Hinata never sees it that way at all. That clarity, and being able not to take it personally, to just stand up and try to find a new perspective to find his own way to be good—while genuinely encouraging the other guy to keep getting better as well, is what really makes Hinata the athlete his is and what is ultimately going to allow him to improve beyond any expectations.
