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(:


Nooo!! my poor baby Tobio being subbed out :(
Great episode. The struggle is real.
Let's see what happens next.

Hinata and Nishinoya's high five is so adorable! Hooray for chibi high fives!

Tanaka has proven himself to be a worthy player. I respect him.

Lol at Nishinoya telling Asahi that he should be like Tanaka. XD
Not just him, every one should be like Tanaka-san. *cough* Kageyama *cough*

YAY! Looks like Suga will be playing next episode. Too bad Kageyama. Looks like you will be benched. You need to cool your head down a bit boy. :)

Oh boy kageyama. Time for a change I guess. This was seriously an awesome episode though. I feel that kurasuno will lose the first set but will win the next two sets. That's just how I feel it is going to play out. 5/5 this episode.

at about 3:00 were they(the chant) actually harmonizing with Tooru's serving??!!!!
omg they really are timing their chant... this is too much, CHEERING GAME TOO STRONG
"sensei sensei" his voice sounded really weird to me??

Hinata and Noya's high 5(soy!) :D
If you don't love Tanaka, I can't even.... WHY HOW COULD YOU NOT
Noya had a short captain like moment there

This episode is really intense!!
Although I feel as though the animation kind of disappointed me...

I just want to either hug Tobe ♥ or give him a good wake up slap. You can do this bby. let senpai show you how it's done first
My feelings are conflicted, I don't know either to love 💕 or hate that Trash Oikawa help

SUGA!!! It's your time to shine ♥

They need to stop airing like half this season's anime and get those studios to give all their money and manpower to IG so they can just give us the last 5 episodes in bulk. It's torture having to wait for the next episode ;-;

Oh no! Karasuno in a pinch! Good call by the coach to put in Suga to let Kageyama just chill for a while. I can't wait to see Suga play with the others, especially Hinata. And how will Kageyama react to Suga's play? It'll be interesting to see.


The big fault with Kageyama's play is that he doesn't know the different spiker's preferences for tosses and so can't bring out their best performance. That's what makes Oikawa so good, he adjusts each of his tosses to the specific spiker. Since Suga is so familiar with Tanaka, Asahi and Daichi, he should be able to help them perform better and hopefully Kageyama will notice and learn from that.

They're down by a good bit. I wonder if Sugawaracan help them make a comeback. I think it'll be close, but they'll end up losing the first set. Kageyama is gonna come back later and be beastly :P haha

One thing that stood out a LOT to me was Hinata's mediocre blocking xD. Did he even get a single touch on a block? Oh poor Hinata there is much to learn as a middle blocker.
As for Kageyama... he lacks focus and presence that the setter should have, so I see what the Aoba Johsai coach meant when he said that Oikawa was the best setter in the moment. If anything a setter should be telling his hitters to slow down and relax, but instead Kageyama is the one who is tense. Hmmm.
Words cannot describe how excited I am to see Suga play!!!!! I can't wait to see his dynamics with all the third years, most notably Asahi!
Finally, I'm planning to emulate Tanaka's explosive personality on the court in my upcoming season :). I love his attitude and aggression.

Tanaka was able to pull himself together thats good. Love his stubborn and aggressive personality. Looks like Kageyama is in a pinch though. It was a good decision to switch him out. Curious as to how Suga plays. Also like Oikawa a lot. Shows that hard work does play off. :)

And it's time for Kageyama to cool off for a bit and give Sugawara the opportunity to save this set.

Awwww, Kageyama got embarrassed :3

Well I wouldn't have guessed that Kageyama would mess up like that lol.

Freaking Oikawa figured out their signs it would seem and it making up a rule to defeat those signs.

Damn, they sure are having a lot of problems with Aoba Johsai.

So Tanaka-san has the qualities of an ace huh.

Damn... it seems that Kageyama's weakness is getting the best out of him.

Replacing Kageyama with Sugawara is the best and logical thing to do, a change is always needed.

Hinata main reason to become a MB is to make it one-touch because he cant get it in time to block any spike coming to him. It sure works against quick or normal spike that just barely above the net but a player who jumps and wait till the highest point of the ball, really hinata is not stand a chance against player like that.

as for kageyama, he is somehow lack of communication with other karasuno spiker imo

We here in Portugal yell(In Portuguese of course) "Good luck" or "Give your all" or "Serve a good one" or anything of incentive that comes to your mind.
In Haikyuu!! I already heard they saying more than one thing, but it seems that their favorite is "Nice Serve". Is strange because it seems they are talking of the end result, but no, they are talking of what they hope and expect of the serve. Is like if you say something good than it will happen.

I think it's like a good luck sort of thing, like saying, this will be a nice serve or something.

Or maybe, this better be a nice serve, or i'll kill you :D

Yeah. That's what I thought Ukai would do. It's sadly the best thing to do. Kageyama lost his composture, the new inner self he had build during those two months. But I think he'll come back in the game later. Well, in fact, I'm sure since we see it in the preview xD

Oizawa his really good in the mind aspect of the game. He know exactly who to aim at and who to get mad.

Hinata and his epic faces. I just had to rewatch the part in the beginning where he said that Kageyama isn't gonna lose to Oikawa.

Tanaka finally got his moment!

Kageyama don't let it get to you. Finally Sugawara is gonna get some spotlight, can't wait to check it out! I am sure his actions would help Kageyama realize something.
