I know this isn't everyone's favorite Haikyu!! diversion, but I feel like it is pretty underrated. The backstory, the interesting strategy, the struggle, and the payoff at the end is totally worth it to me.

And Kenma calling his teammates his friends for the first time.... come on! How could you not love it?

i guess it seems more jarring in the anime but i imagine this little nekoma check-in served as a nice breather while the manga was still running. the karasuno vs. inarizaki match is the longest match in all of haikyuu (a little over 40 chapters) and since the manga chapters released weekly i think furudate was concerned people would get bored of nearly a full year of the same match. i love the manga but i'm glad i have the luxury of just binge reading arcs instead of having to wait for them haha

Please can we talk about Kenma's mental hate letter to his arch nemesis... GRAVITY? XDDD

Not everything needs to focus on the main characters. It's with all forms of media lately, we've gotten so impatient we can't appreciate side stories and arcs. It's called world building people... 😡

Not the intro joke🤣 Adam got me as well, did you guys recorded this on April fool? I swear in my mind I immediately thought that Sarah is gonna say that Adam got a stroke or sth🤪 I LOVE it when Adam says Kenma is the best!

grasshorse

having followed the manga during weekly release, honestly... true HAHAH I didn't get bored exactly bc i love inarizaki to bits (my fav team) but it FELT like it was starting to drag on

Puddleglum

I think the problem is just that it detours mid-match and feels a bit jarring. I'm pretty sure all of us here appreciate a good Nekoma arc.

Yay glad Adam enjoyed it and we got another notch on the misty eyed charts. Love Kenma starting to open up more and acknowledge everyone as his friends. I agree Nekoma is definition of true team cohesiveness.

Adam praising Nekoma’s teamwork and connection while wearing the Nekoma/Connect t-shirt, we love to see it

Adam Schulz

Haha didn’t even realize it.

appols

Kenma, in his moment of weakness, letting it slip that he considers the team his friends! 😆😌 Also it's hilarious that Lev is just constantly clueless and needs an explanation while everyone else is strategizing lol

Eri

Nekoma could have been the main team and I would have been happy.

I want to share an embarrassing moment that's relevant: when I was much younger there was one moment during a grocery trip when I was carrying way too much weight from the car into the house (as you do because Mama didn't raise no bitch) and I remember wishing that I could magically elevate the bags with the power of my mind. Then I blamed gravity for my misery and wondered what life would be like without it at that moment. Then it hit me like a truck: gravity doesn't exist to make my life miserable. It just is a fact about the world and i just happen to live in that world. Somewhere out there two rocks are heading towards each other and they're about to collide. That is just as much of a fact about this world, and I happen to not care at all about it. So the source of my suffering is, logically, from within myself. It is my desire for things and the lack of those things that create a "gap" and I'm reacting emotionally to this gap. If I didn't have groceries or if the groceries were much lighter, then my mental state would've been different. Or alternatively, if I could remove my emotions from the matters of fact in the world, then I would no longer be unhappy. That perspective became more than just a coping mechanism; I can now recognize and separate my emotional self from my rational self so that I can give it the care it needs but also wrestle back control of myself instead of surrendering control of my actions and decisions.

yep, and I'd add Fukurodani. Those three (Karasuno, Nekoma and Fukurodani) could be main teams in the story and I'd be here for it

Sarah

He was so proud of himself too 😭🥹

Sarah

It's 100% his favorite shirt

Sarah

Lev is just on his own planet, convinced that he is the ace 😂

Sarah

VD always coming in clutch with the philosophical comments 🧠 Also, I laughed out loud at the "Mama didn't raise no bitch" part 😂

Jaydn

I just love how this little arc, in both the anime and manga, highlights Fukunaga and his goofy personality - I love his character so much

rudy_nightangeL

Heard this amazing quote "Faking being brave.. is being brave".

Alien Bueibat

Of course it wasn't the 'Way of the Ace' one 🤣

Tiffany Chang

I love this Nekoma match!! It's only frustrating because we got interrupted from Karasuno's match. It's also such a Kenma thing to say he leveled up as in video games (prepared to play against Karasuno now).
