manga spoilers! damn jack i wish we couldve seen the first years as second years and third years too, sucks that we only get artworks and a couple of manga panels. We were robbed of third year hinata, he was looking a little too fine 😭 ok but im ready for ninja shoyo 😌

Brooke C

"go back to your box" & "get outta here NPC" was kinda mean don't do Narita like that.. LOL!

TT1000

Loved it when the first ep ended and some of you were twitching for the next one lol

Quirk & Prose

Lol, yay! Ya'll finally finished my all-time fav season of the show~ Throwback to when ya'll were all "How the Frick are there nearly 100 episodes of this?" 😂

TT1000

You guys will like season 4… minus that one episode.. lol

Chito

I would like to ask, did you guys feel like trying volleyball after watching this show? idk just curious. In my case I really felt more interested in the sport, so much so that my friend and I went to a practice class once, but then the covid came and we couldn't continue :c Looking forward to seeing your reactions to season 4! love you guys

Ash

will say, highly recommend you to watch the OVA land vs air before tackling season 4 if no one else has mentioned it already! it happens between s3 and s4, so it's a good watch beforehand

McKay - (better fit in season 4) Morisuke Yaku, says it like it is and is confident Brigg - Kenji Futakuchi, cheeky and assertive Jack - Eikichi Chigaya, friendly and a puppy Carter - (there is a better fit from the manga) Yū Nishinoya, loud and always in someone’s personal space Cannon - (also a better choice in manga) Yūji Terushima, energetic and flashy

jack being generous with ushiwaka’s age like 25??? nah man’s AT LEAST 35, he’s fr a full time farmer who’s passionate about fertile soil and volleyball 😂 jokes aside, i love how the scene where ushiwaka was pinning tsukki and hinata down looked so scary but hinata’s just like DAMN IT THIS MAN IS SO FREAKING COOL, his reaction brought a smile to my face. No despair, just admiration from this baby sunshine.

Fall for volleyball is basically just practice in most levels of volleyball. You have tournaments but you don’t start ranking against your teams and the country till spring

Gabriela

"Volleyball idiots" is the literal translation for the episode, and how Shiratorizawa likes to call Ushijima, but it doesn't necessarily mean something bad or insulting. In Japanese it is used more to refer to people who are crazy about something and can't think of anything else, almost like saying "they go dumb for..." i guess. In this case the title of the episode makes a reference to how Hinata and Ushijima "go dumb for volleyball" because of their drive and passion to play and their love for volleyball, and they are willing to push through anything to do crazy plays.

Jack Klosterman

It still shows whose the best teams at these tournaments and you do win trophies and money toward your team for winning

I truly, truly, wish that you guys give the manga a chance, if ever. Maybe on yalls own time if you ever want to, because despite how good the anime is, I have to say the manga is at least three times as good. There's certain things that couldn't be portrayed in the anime due to cuts/managing episode time&length as well as the budget. The anime is a masterclass, don't get me wrong, and season 4 will be just as good as these first three seasons have been, but you miss out some key details and scenes with the anime. The manga expands on everything you could think of and has crazy good comparisons, themes, life lessons, realism, and so many other aspects that you just don't get in the anime. The manga IS finished so if you guys ever do decide to read it you won't have to wait for releases. The ending of the manga is probably one of the best I've ever read in my life, and the journey this story brings us through is absolutely peak the whole way through. If you thought these first few seasons were good, you would be blown away by some of the content in the manga (if it gets adapted). Sorry if this is a little bit of a yap and glaze sesh but I just had to throw some appreciation out there. Haikyuu is a masterclass and you realize that there is so much to it than just volleyball. I think Jack and Carter especially would like the manga as it really gives you more insight and fleshes stuff out. Case in point: peak show. Peak anime. Peak manga. Peak story. It really doesn't get any better. 🙏Love y'all, hope you enjoy the next season and the movie, just as good.

Hem-ehem

17:25 McKay says he hates Tendo. He hates Tendo like Kei Tsukishima hates Tendo at that moment. Look at Tsukki's eyes right there! Tbh, i don't think Tsukki has ever hated anyone from what's been shown in Haikyu. Only at this moment, it's clear that he's pissed at Tendo.

Clover

if you’re curious about the timeline: - End October: Miyagi Prefecture Spring Tournament Qualifers so basically Johzenji, Wakunan, Seijoh and Shiratorizawa matches - December: National Youth Training Camp that Kageyama was invited to - January: Spring Tournament Nationals So they do have some time to rest and train before Nationals after the shiratorizawa match

Joie Dianzon 🇵🇭

Gentle reminder not everyone has reached full potential yet. You think that's the best that Tsukki, Kageyama and Hinata can do? 😂😂😂

Though this comment may have no relevance, possibly because you guys may have already started watching season 4, I highly recommend, if possible, to try and watch at least Part 2 of season 4 in Blu Ray. For context, the 4th season of the anime was actually released over 5 years after the release of the 3rd season (Karasuno vs Shiratorizawa), which is probably why the art style of the series had changed for this season. More specifically, part 2 of the season was created and released during the COVID-19 pandemic. That's actually why the fourth season is split into two parts, and because of that, there are certain episodes, specifically in the second part of season 4, that have weaker animation/art, likely due to some scenes or episodes being outsourced to other smaller studios. If you want some examples of some of the changes or fixes that were made in the Blu-ray in comparison to the traditional TV release: ------ POTENTIAL SPOILERS FOR PART 2-------- https://www.reddit.com/r/haikyuu/comments/lmg5cg/the_blu_ray_version_of_season_4_has_fixed_a_lot/ https://www.reddit.com/r/haikyuu/comments/llfjsn/some_season_4_vol5_bd_corrections/ --------------------------------------------------------- At the end of the day, whichever way you guys choose to continue watching the series is totally up to you; I'm just recommending an option that could give you the best viewing experience. Outside of that, I truly enjoyed the ride up to now, and I can't wait to see your guy's reaction to the next season and nationals. Also, as a heads up, like many other comments in today's post, don't forget to watch the OvA Land vs Air because it gives context to what's happening with our Tokyo teams. But also, before you watch the OvA, I highly recommend watching the Shiratorizawa third year's farewell snippet, similar to the one you guys saw from Aoba Johsai's third year.

bokkun

GEKSSSS please update us whether youve watched the OVAs or not, they really fill in the gaps before s4!!!!

SlamboHamburg

Don't forget to watch the OVA Land vs Air 😊 so glad you guys liked season 3, I know you're going to love season 4. There's lot of great character moments

Nico

Literally goosebumps every single time I (re)watch

Josh F

I love how the Geks started off so iffy about the show and really thinking they wouldn't like it. Look how far we've come.

i love shiratorizawa as a team tbh, i understand why they didn't click for you since we got so much more in the manga, but they are genuinely close friends. that's why they all call ushijima by his first name, and mostly all of the other players refer to each other by their first names too. they also live together, since shiratorizawa has dorms, and their dynamic is genuinely wholesome to me because everyone has some sort of personality flaw despite all of their talent at volleyball which would probably make them outcasts elsewhere, but in this team they all genuinely like and accept each other. (ushijima is stoic, tendou is quirky, semi has a need for attention, shirabu can be kind of mean, goshiki is very childlike, etcetera) but it works for them.

Ari

so many have mentioned this already but yes dont forget to watch the OVA Land vs Air (2 eps) first before starting S4. that's still part of the main story.. oh there's a post credits in ep 2 as well

Stanley Labissiere

The Haikyu effect: you start the show thinking « a volleyball anime? Really? » then you end up yelling like a mad dog by season 3

Moon

AHAHA When Ushijima raised his hand from the other side of the net, he was trying to apologise to Tsukki for hurting his hand in the last episode. But he didn't do it verbally so many people always get confused. And yes, Jack is right: Coach Ukai's VA did change. Season 3 episode 9 is the first time that we hear his new VA, because his old VA, Tanaka Kazunari died while season 3 was still being recorded. The fandom still mourns his impeccable work as Coach Ukai till this day, but the new VA does a really job job too! The part where Shiratorizawa's coach interrupted his assistant coach when he was saying Hinata almost seems like the Little Giant is another instance where we see him refusing to admit to himself that there IS another way to fight other than being strong and big. And they follow it up with him saying he wants to deny Hinata, and it gives you the feeling that he's actively rejecting himself rather than just Hinata, because he was in the same position as Hinata a long time ago, but chose to believe bigger will always be better. He's looking at Hinata and seeing himself, but doesn't want to believe the fact that he could have found another way to thrive in volleyball as a player, and he projects this onto a player in a similar situation as him. I just love Furudate's subtle storytelling as he weaves in the little details about the characters in such minute ways.

The end of the match is soooo beautiful!!! And my boy Kageyama cooking 🩷 lets go season 4!!!

Ayn Orbuda

guys don't forget the bonus scene after episode 10!!! it's in youtube

Moon

Nishinoya's double save in episode 9 still amazes me because it's literally so inhuman like HOW??? Super receives are truly the most hype thing in a match. He literally saved the team from losing so many times across the three seasons so far! There's too many details to point out in the last episode, but two of the most important things I thought you guys should know are these: Kageyama switched places with Hinata right when the ball was served on Karasuno's side, because he knew that Tsukki and the blockers were going to set up a trap to close in Ushijima's straight. He changed places with Hinata who was in the way of a cross shot, so that just in case Ushijima hit a cross, he would be there to receive it since his receiving skills are much better than Hinata's (and because Daichi was blocking and Nishinoya was out so they couldn't receive the spike). And sure enough, the trap was meant to completely block the shut out what would have been a normal straight, but Ushijima ended up changing the course of his spike last minute, as you saw his desperation to get past the block. And he ended up doing a cross, which is insane at that moment due to the exhaustion, the amount of quick thinking and ACTION you'd have to take to pull that off. And viola, Kageyama's idea paid off because he was there to receive the ball where Hinata would probably have failed. It's an amazing show of small details that they don't tell you, and is proof that you'd have to watch this over and over and over again to grasp what the hell was going on and how the events all connected with one another (or take the info from the comments section of other reaction vids HAHAH). And ofc, how could we forget the iconic metaphor when they were scoring the last, LONG point. Both Hinata and Tsukki are being held down (metaphorically) by Ushijima, because he's such a good player that they themselves are not nearly enough to defeat him. But then we have the seniors: Daichi, Asahi, Tanaka coming in one by one to help their juniors, and it's just such a poetic scene because it takes SIX to win in a volleyball game, and that's exactly what happened.

To clarify your questions about why Shiratorizawa doesn't get to go to nationals despite winning the Interhigh finals in their prefecture: ALL the teams in the Miyagi prefecture got a chance to go to the Interhigh nationals in June. Shiratorizawa won the finals then, so they went to nationals to compete with other winners of other prefectures and regions. HOWEVER, this tournament we're following now is a separate one from the Interhigh, called the Spring Tournament, and it happens in January. This is another chance for ALL the teams in the Miyagi prefecture, including Shiratorizawa, to go to nationals, for a second time. And this final match they just played happens around October. Shiratorizawa doesn't get special privileges for winning the previous tournament's finals. They have to play from the start to the finals again and WIN the finals again to go to nationals, but they were thwarted by Karasuno this time. There's really no deeper meaning to it. It's because they're two separate tournaments, and also because only one team from the Miyagi prefecture is allowed to go to nationals. If they were living in a bigger prefecture, then there might be multiple representatives. I love Haikyuu so much that I comment more than once on a reaction video despite the fact that I normally don't post comments at all JSBJHB Ushijima and Tendou are often shown as a pair because Tendou's a weird lil guy who likes to talk to him despite not getting much in the way of conversation. They're essentially best buds, like Tendou bragged (though whether Ushijima sees this as the truth is another thing). I totally get why you guys may not have clicked with or liked Shiratorizawa as a team, but I stand by my opinion that they're one of my favourites in the whole anime. I think they're great, wholesome together and complete each other like real friends do, especially the third years hehe. Loved the reaction to season 3, I can't wait for the OVAs and then season 4!! Things are about to be amazing for nationals!!

lololol

Not sure if anyone commented about it already, but Hinata still has the highest vert! The only thing they measured was the distance between the finger print and the ground (130 inches or 10.8 feet, which makes sense since the ring is 10ft), but this doesn't take into account the height differences. So they're pretty much saying that kageyama and hinata have virtually the same score on the test and can reach the same point even though they have a massive height difference, which means hinata just jumps that much higher.

I'm glad McKay didn't listen to all the bums that told him to drop the show back in season 1, cause look at him now, out here getting chills and celebrating the teams hard-fought victory!

sil 🧸ྀི

that final point?? oofff the emotions!! i love it sm omg this whole match is insane, such a good season too <3 CANT BELIEVE WE'RE ABOUT TO ENTER S4????

Patriicia

Also McKay saying that he's got goosebumps. WOW, the show did not disappoint :)

bokkun

still hoping they're not skipping the land vs air OVAs because those have some of my favorite games :((

Thiivi

Kageyama has the highest contact point, but Hinata has the highest vertical jump when you account for their height difference

bebe

OVA OKAY?

corLeonis

One more sleep and it'll be Haikyuu day!!!

Jenny D

Haikyu day! Excited for season 4 reactions!

peachy af

i have a genetics presentation and my last organic chem test today so imma really need that early upload to take the edge off yup!

kai

its time lets see whether we getting either OVA 4/5 or 4x1 - 4x2 today

mariacake

That weekend was so long! Can’t wait for today’s Haikyuu reactions. I wonder if they will watch S4 directly or watch the OVA. I like that we’re starting S4 mid-November. The season/weather matches the show’s season 🥹

Lucía

Please buy the Blue-ray version for the 2nd part of season 4!!!! It was made in quarantine, so the animation looks off, but they fix it in the blue ray

Jeff

and who was worried this might not be a great anime?🔥🔥🔥
