----------------------------------------
Still a pretty good match! There were plenty of spikes but I especially liked the counters and the team unity from Karasuno.

Giving it their best~
I'm expecting more from this match though especially with Kageyama. They (Karasuno) better win let they said they would.

Another center was worried about both of them, but it wasn't needed for the main guy. His greetings? So fun! He came to get the team to light up the mood. His idea still don't lose while on there, though. It got the enemy team pissed off, but NamiDai's character's serve is still tricky. When that ex-prince is out, he has some time to calm down and look at the game as a whole, so that they can discuss together.

Looking at everyone's expression while saying "Good job'. And two instead of three when NamiDai's character's serve. Two centers' thoughts are the same, and Miyu-Miyu's character is saying "let's win" instead of "go and win". He's happy to hear "next time".

30 mins. delay next ep. https://twitter.com/animehaikyu_com/statuses/503459229525475328

Sugawara is such a great teammate and setter overall! He really helps calm the other team members of Karasuno too. He's a calm natured person and is just really cool. He's like the opposite of Kageyama yet they both have the same goals. It was great to see Karasuno being able to keep up with Seijoh and actually breaking Oikawa's serve streaks. However, now Kageyama's going back on the court. Let's go, Karasuno! Overall, fantastic episode as always. Really like Sugawara a lot now, he's such a great character~

Amazing episode!!

Suga was so awesome ^^ His style is really nice and the way he uses the spikers is praiseworthy :)

The scene when Tobio and Suga were having their monologue at the same time about wanting to play gave me the FEEELZ >.<!

And his face when Ukai told him "Next time" so happy :D

From here onward! Shit is about to get so real. Can't wait :3

I was so happy Sugawara finally got his moment ^^ I like Kageyama, but Suga is my baby. He's awesome and dependable. I'm happy to see Kageyama back on the court though, because that means Hinata will get his time to shine :) Can't wait for next episode!

Suga was a nice change of pace as a setter. Kageyama learned something from him and I bet next ep title " Evolution " is not casual at all!
this match is totally wrecking me: go karasuno!!

Karasuno got a taste of what it felt like to be a team! Now Kageyama can learn from it and put his own spin on the strengths of their spikers!

What a great match! GO KARASUNO!

Suga... that duologue with Kageyama made me feel so many feels, I almost fell off my chair. It makes me sad that we won't see as much of Suga anymore, but I guess big things (Suga's awesomeness) come in small packages (his limited playing time).

;_; Why do I feel like crying in every Haikyuu episode? The build up towards the end of every episode never ceases to amaze me. In that regard, this really reminds me of Kuroko no Basket. Four episodes to go ;^;

Kageyama returns for the 2nd set.

I realize Sugawara was always supposed to be Kageyama's opposite, but I never really took notice until this episode since Sugu is such a well fleshed out character. That's one thing I really enjoy about this series, not a single character feels unnecessary.

Yes agreed.
Great episode! I truly love this anime. I can't say that enough times.
So happy to see Suga play although my baby Tobio had to sit out. He learned something valuable and had a bit of character development. This match is still intense and far form over. I'm really excited every weekend just to watch this. So many emotions run through me while watching and I can honestly say this is one of my favorite anime.

Loved the internal dialogue part where our two setters voiced their desire to stay/return to the court! So awesome!!! ;_;

But really Suga is so awesome - how he was able to use his observations for the team to change the flow of the game. :D

Lol! I like how Suga gave everyone the death punch/jab but gave Noya the adorable high five XD

Suga is awesome! I like how he expressed his desire to play on the court to Kageyama so confidently. Wished he could play more, but the coach said next time so there are some opportunities. ^o^

Now it's Kageyama's turn to turn this set around. Good luck!

Sugawara finally received the well-deserved screentime. His mental strength is definitely what excels the most. I really want him to be featured in more future matches.

Loving those Asahi spikes as well.

I hope Kageyama finally settled out his passion on volleybal.

Since Karasuno's team morale is higher than ever, there's no excuse not to win against Aoba Josai.

Awwwn, Sugawara is such a brah. He almost make me want to go gay.
Even if Karasuno is behind in points, he completely changed the mood of the game.

I am a big fan of Kageyama but after watching this, I must say Suga is the most outstanding character in Haikyuu. He has little screentime but once he is on court, the atmosphere definitely changes and you can just surely depend on him. Salute to this dude! Anyway, can't wait for the freak quicks again!

The team of Karasuno failed to recover the set changing the lifter, but regained the moral and is going well in the second set, and now that Kageyama entered the game will be even better ..

All of Karasous players are strong in their own right, much like all of Haikyuus characters are interesting and fun to watch for each and everyones distingt personalities.
I absolutly love how this Anime gives all of them some time in the spotlight of an episode, not just the 2 MC (even Yamaguchi got some love in one episode and will hopefully become a valuable player in the future).
Haven't seen this much dedication to so many different chars in other animes. Gotta love Haikyuu for that <3

Haikyuu!!, why are you so good at character development? I really like how they've been equally giving time for each of the members so it's not just main characters + side characters.

Suga's such a great character btw. I can relate.

I've watched all of these and highly agree. Especially Ookiku that anime is just special to me. I have no idea why they didn't make a 3rd season. I'm wishing for one everyday religiously. They are all so amazing in their own way. Great choices!!!!

So, my eyes watered this episode but that's nothing new for Haikyuu. Since the next episode is called Evolution, I might just end up crying.
