| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Great match. It managed to keep the momentum from the minute the episode started. Almost everyone on Karasuno impressed me just as much as they did on the opponent's team. I have to admit though...the tension levels for Karasuno rose a bit. I give some praise to Tanaka for his effort. I hope Karasuno pulls themselves together.. a bit but they aren't looking so hot now. |
 |
| NamiDai's character begins to give them pressure, and at first the team is working together, but they feel the pressure and wants to get the score closer. Another center's turn until that guy's fury about winning the competition against NamiDai's character calms down. Cannot wait to see MiyuMiyu's character's real skill during the real game. Back to 17:00. Now that Sunday classes are over, I can watch livestream again. |

| Good match so far Karasuno's receives aren't good, which really shows here. Oikawa is getting to Kageyama though. And the gap is getting larger.. Guess it's time for Sugawara to be the setter while Kageyama cools down for a bit. |
 |
| Oikawa really did his research on Karasuno. His observation skills and play calling are great. Karasuno is still having trouble receiving, so Aoba Johsai has built a pretty big lead. I'm glad Tanaka was able to pull himself together, but it looks like Kageyama is starting to panic. Switching him out of the game is a good decision. He needs some time to calm down. I hope Sugawara does a good job as the setter while he is out. |
| Pretty intense match so far. Gotta love Tanaka. He was able to pull through after being targeted pretty heavily. As for Kageyama though. Seems he's starting to have problems. He's speeding up the tosses so the spikers won't get blocked but he's speeding up way too much that they can't keep up with him. By the looks of the ending and preview it seems he's gonna get benched for a while. He really needs a break to pull himself together. Hope the excitement and intensity of this match continues next week :D |
| Oikawa is a really tough opponent and seems like he is quite the genius setter. He knows all the tosses that his teammates prefer and brings out their full potential. Kageyama is really losing his cool now; can't blame him since he's under a lot of pressure. Sugawara is replacing Kageyama as the setter next episode. Kageyama really needs to cool down and get back into a stable mentality again. Intense match though, can't wait for more! 5/5 |
 |
| It's not like I can't understand Kageyama's actions and mental process during a game where you're losing :/ Really admire him in this episode(: |
| Woooh! Sugawara finally makes his appearance c: Gotta love Oikawa, finally an opponent in sports who isn't difficult because they're a 'genius' but just because they work extra hard and are 100% a team player. Quite refreshing. |
| the official MAL hall of fame/cursed comments is now open for business - you are welcome to PM me any potential quotes to include |
| SUGAAAAAAAA! :D This will make a lot of people happy. Kageyama sure needs some time to relax and get back on his feet. And Tanaka showed again how cool he is. |
| There is a huge gap in the score now. Kageyama better not think too much. |
 |
| Haa i knew from the begining the signs were Hinata's shouts ! Oikawa's a beast really. Great match anyways, but Karasuno is in big problem because of recieves especially. |
| Wow hinata and Kageyama's save looked so cool xD I'm really so slow... didn't know the signs were the shouts oO |
| Theyre switching kageyama? Well I cant blame them, hes starting to act like his old self. He needs to cool his head down on the bench. |
| where are you guys watching this? |
| Does anyone else need a doctor to confirm that someone without a head is dead? |
| Oikawa is amazing :D Loving this guy. Tanaka cheering himself up was awesome XD Finally! Time for Suga to show Kageyama how to be calm and collected as a senpai :3 |
 |
| The subs are really really delayed for this episode. But just saw horriblesub uploaded it to nyaa, 8 hours after their initial schedule. |
| How do I signature? |
| Nice episode! Finally Suga gets some action!:D |
| Damn Kageyama, calm yourself, don't let Oikawa intimidate you... well lets see how Suga can handle it. Tanaka...... Best senpai, and how he will always be there for his team :D. The match was pretty intense, damn why I have to wait another week again :(. |
| Kageyama lost his cool. That clash versus Oikawa affect him big time. Tanaka didn't falter even after losing that receives. Suga will enter the court. Let's wait until Kageyama regain his composure. |
 |
| Time for senpai to show Kageyama how it's done. |
| oh god this show just can't stop being great. what a match. I really feel for kageyama in this episode. The fear of losing is really getting to him. Hope he can fix himself up for the next set |
| Oikawa may not be a prodigy, but he sure is a genius lol. Nishinoya is dependable as usual- the true definition of a libero. And Tanaka... just when I wanted him to get some screen time, my favourite character reminded me just why he deserves that spot. I wish I could pump myself up the way he does! This is a bad matchup for Kageyama since he's putting so much pressure on himself to not fail. I hope Sugawara sets him straight next episode! |
| "There's no shame in falling down... true shame is to not stand up again!" "Aah? Of course I won't miss!" "My blood tastes like Iron." "Run through the tape in life! Never give up! Run through the tape!" |
| YEAH SUGAWARA, I want to badly see him play. Still waiting for Yamaguchi to get better in his floaty move and Tsukishima to get some more focus also. |
Kurini said: SUGAAAAAAAA! :D This will make a lot of people happy. Yes... yes it will. ( ﾉ^ω^)ﾉﾟ Haven't seen Sugawara in action in a looong time, missed mommy Suga. Episode was the most serious one to date imo, barely laughed during the whole thing, was so intense. Let another week of agonising wait start... |
| Tanaka was awesome. I was so happy when Hinata was the one to save him. Come on Tobio, get it together. You aren't that guy anymore, you need to realize you can't do it all alone. |

| Very nice episode. I could've cried when kageyama lost the push. Pressure is really setting in, now suga is up, let's see what he can pull out! Hyped son, these weeks inbetween are killer! |
| Does anyone else need a doctor to confirm that someone without a head is dead? |
| Oh, Suga Suga! Show them how it is done! I could barely breathe during the whole thing. So intense. But now there's the long, painful wait until the next episode... |
 |
| Kageyama is getting subbed for the first time! Let's see what happens in the next episode. Awesome episode as always, so enjoyable that I don't even notice time passing *_* |
| Teared up a little when Tanaka apologized. Gahhhhh it's only the second ep of the match and already I'm too emotionally invested in it ... I feel so bad for Tobio ugh |
 |
| solid episode. i'm really glad that it looks like suga will be able to play a little bit in the match. c: it was also really great to watch tanaka shine~ |
 |
| oh man I feel so bad for Kageyama, it's like he's back to middle school. although that switching with Suga will hurt him a lot, I believe it's for the best. I'm really glad to see Suga in action again, hopefully Kageyama sees what being a setter is really like. I agree with Oikawa most of the time, but man he's creepy. he's defiantly a yandere |

| good episode if not for the sloppy art/animation.. |
 |
| Aw man, THAT is some good old sports action right there it sure is. Engaging both mentally, emotionally, and visually. More of that, please. ♥ tanaka-senpai Ever so excited for next week -- time to display a little of Sugawara's skills. |
 |
| Another intense follow up, Haikyuu!! just can't seem to disapoint at all Oikawa breaking Tobio (and the others) bit by bit and reading the match was fascinating It was interesting at the end to substitute Suguwara in So much happened and about two third was covered of the first set Set, set, set! Spike, spike, spike! |
jimbob1141 said: where are you guys watching this? 5 AM EST sunday mornings. On crunchyroll. Sugawara hype! Next week can't come fast enough! |
| Kageyama is getting a lot of pressure in this match from Oikawa. Excited to see Suga do some pro setting. |
 |
| This episode was SOOo intense. I felt the pressure through my screen man and ughhh Oikawa is just great tbh. And he's right as well, even if Kageyama was in the right state of mind his "tosses" are only perf for hinata.. he still has a long way to go. Can't wait for the next 5 episodes and Sugawara screen time!! |
Fizzie217 said: NOoooo kageyama is switching out. he needs to calm down though. he's overthinking now. hinata should calm him down. hmmm i hope they lose the fist match tie the next and then win the third? :) this is my favorite anime of the year i hope there's a second season There are no ties in Volleyball, nor time limit of a game! |
| So they are switching Kageyama, well, it's understandable after all, he got panicked and such. Also, finally we get to see Suga in real action, and that's good. Tanaka is always so gold. |
 |
| 05:27 "Burn!" 08:05 "mugehhh" 21:16 owned 22:30 get the heck out, Shadowhill 7/10 for this episode. |
| Isayama Hajime should be awarded The Manga with The Highest Inconsistencies of Characters' Appearances. He keeps performing multiple plastic surgeries on those Shingeki No Kyojin characters in a SINGLE chapter. Yes, I've read up to the latest chapter of Shingeki No Kyojin manga. Forced myself to read through the kidsketching chapters after the anime's ended. At least from now on, I only have to go through the hell once a month. Patiently awaiting SNK TV/movie/OVA anime-sequel. The 2015 SNK live-action movie would probably suck. |
| Tanaka next ace confirmed. I'm really happy Suga gets to play before he leaves the team, and I hope they'll have some hidden weapons with the 3rd years. Kageyama needs to calm down, and it's a nice touch they added for Karasuno's weakness are from individual trauma/past problems. Great episode. |

| just when I thought I was Kageyama dominate the match with his skill he ends up panicking and will be replaced, until I was sorry for him, but the anime is very good, I can hardly wait for the next episodes .. |
  |
| I see, so Kageyama has a higher potential than Oikawa... but Oikawa owns him at this match as of the moment. Finally getting to see Sugawara play! |

| Nice episode. Karasuno are having trouble with Aoba Johsai. Especially Kageyama. Player Change. Suga sans turn. |

| Great episode, nice to see the struggle |
 |
| It's finally Suga's time to shine! |
"May those who accept their fate be granted happiness." "May those who defy their fate be granted glory." |
| understandable that kageyama was switched out, the pressure is getting to him. now it's suga's time to shine~ |
