But Oikawa is amazing and 3rd year, makes sense for him to be glorified above others.

Just when I thought they could beat Aoba Johsai... ugh I really want them to win. But with this many episodes left, I kinda doubt it
But tbh I love watching Oikawa's serve, especially when the crowd does that gradual hyped cheer

I think this is yet another wonderful proof how this adaptation is amazing ^_^ There are so many funny little moments added that were not in the manga. I just love it how Production I.G does its job.

There's many funny moments in this episode
Kageyama and Oikawa's bickering..Oikawa really didn't look like a third year and captain though..I thought the captain was Iwaizumi before reminded by this episode

I like how Daichi try to stay calm at the surface , but his thought is "What the hell was that ? @$#%%

Gahh, why is Seijoh full of creeps? First there's Oikawa, and now there's this blonde stripey dude too. He pushed his teammate to the ground! How rude is that!? Mannn, I really hope Karasuno wins this!

Although I'm rooting for Karasuno, I can't hate on Seijoh - they're a kick@ss team.

I'M SHAKEN OMG.

The very first point set the tone of this match with Daichi receiving the first Oikawa serve. Daichi is such a good defense.... Noya set to Asahai!!! We got to see all of they've worked for coming out! Even Tsukki's new and improved blocks. This may be the most hype I've been through a set at least consistently.

I adore the analogy that their crows wing healed and now they're better than ever.

Also, I have to wonder. This has been set up to be the final confrontation via the OP's, ED's, and last season, if they do win it'll feel like a battle after the conclusion...

Oikawa's monster serve is going to be a real threat... The animation was amazing.

Seijoh's strength shines from their gears all working together the way they do. That one blocker limiting the options to beat their new and improved quick so quick, doing something some teams never even started to do, really shows they are strong throughout and Oikawa only has to bring out their strength.

Mad Dog finally showing his strength by throwing a wrench in the gears, literally tackling one of his own teammates to crush that ball is so scary. He kinda goes against what Seijoh stands for but he's so effective at that. The trumpets blaring after the point summarized the feeling so well... It was excellent!

This is going to be an insane set. The tension is so high.

That mad dog kid is really the meanest looking mofo in this show, actually he is the meanest, look at how he shoved his teammate with complete disregard just to get that spike. That shit was worse than Kageyama pre-Karasuno. Damn they might lose this set, also I'm sensing a backstory of this kid in the next couple of episodes.

Great episode and by far the best one I've to watch for now in this season, the match was really intense from start until the end. That first successful fast attack by Hinata means a lot from the team and the morale I got goosebumps from that shot.

That delinquent no.16 really looks dangerous from his looks and definitely hides that strength that surely makes Karasuno hard time with and the dude doesn't even get along with his team as what coach said. Still, the animation was great flawless and can't wait for more!

SO EXCITED BEFORE THE MATCH EVEN STARTED. DAT HYPE.

lmao at that failed attempt to approach yachi that was so funny, reminded me of grand blue lol!


LOL at oikawa's team making food orders before his first serve

lmao!! i laughed when kageyma kicked hinata to calm him down omg these 2!!!!

the animation & art were exceptionally great!!! & that sharp trumpet bgm right at the end - super immersive

Lol that serve and that kill at the end was some Kuroko type superpower shit. It's pretty cool when used once in a while, I just hope they don't go the Kuroko route and use it constantly to the point that it becomes ridiculous (I'm sure they won't).

Meh, Mad Dog seems full of himself.

Karasuno might lose one set while they adapt but it should be an easy win.

Mad Dog was always going to be trouble, but I'm even more scared by the threat of Oikawa's new serve, it's bound to hit Karasuno hard when it inevitably comes back.

Damn, I'm worrying about this set after all. Oikawa and Mad Dog can deliver seriously powerful attacks. But in Mad Dog's case, he probably comes with some cons as a player (he sucked at being a team player, I think?).
I hope no one gets injured this time around (rip Hinata's butt tho)

deuce already, only in first set? this match going to be one long story. and i love the writer ideas for jousei, they just feels like the perfect rivals for karasuno, rather than nekoma or dateko.
i wonder though, currently karasuno are super struggling against jousei, and now they even have new obstacle. if somehow they gonna win them, i'm really doubt they will have good luck against shiritasawa.

all that don't change the fact the pace is kinda slow, the direction and pace was bad for all this season, like they don't know how to direct haikyuu anymore, or they too much counted on this match to be the last for this season. for now the only thing making this episode so hype is only the writing and animation.

That serve.



And that spike.



So it is deuce in the first set. Oikawa and the mad dog are going to be serious threats. Not to mention Iwaizumi and others. Karasuno needs to step up their game now.

Also, Oikawa and Kageyama fighting for that volleyball was funny lol. This is the last time they will play as rivals in high-school. Let's see how this match progresses. I am really excited!
