Just to make clearer the whole thing with Kageyama and being "The King" or "Goody Two Shoes" because it can be a bit confusing. Kageyama clearly has past trauma from his middle school years when he was self centered and too agressive to his teammates. All because of his passion for Volleyball. This led him to being rejected by his team and becoming isolated. He's a kid, no one wants to be isolated as a kid. When he came to Karasuno, he didn't want to repeat that mistake. So he mellowed out. The problem is he went a bit too far. He stopped pushing his teammates limits (except for Hinata) and instead adjusted to their bad habits. That's why that blonde guy called him "Goody Two Shoes" In this match, the "King" in him that just wantd quality came back. He corrected Noya and ended up yelling at Asahi. He's putting perfect sets and Asahi is just missing so he got frustrated. But he got too agressive again and is also just not good with words. The difference is that Karasuno (specially Hinata) are like: "so what? Judt let him be the king" they're willing to clash with him to find a solution instead of just rejecting him completely. This basically makes the birth of the New King. He's not going to adjust to bad habits anymore, if you're doing something bad or in a bad condition, he's gonna tell you which will make them grow more as a team.

This "team building" episode is a bit more layered given the Japanese cultural context. Seniority is especially important in Japanese culture, but it is even more heavily emphasized in club sports. So a junior (Kageyama) to call out his senior (Nishinoya), albeit a justified criticism, is a faux pas. Furthermore, Japanese is a very contextual language where it's common not to say things directly. You can look at someone and say "Obstacle!" but it means "You're in the way." So, culturally, it's quite common for people to figure stuff out just by reading the room and picking up subtle cues. For the team to actually vocalize their feelings without the adults having to mediate is an extreme sign of growth from the entire Karasuno team.
