haha agreed, i loved this part! so glad karasuno won the match <3 |

Realistic and likable characters with nice character development, great story, amazing OSTs, lovely and fluid animations, superb humor. Its solid. It accomplishes everything it's trying to achieve. It produces happy emotions, most people feel good after watching an episode or two. It's an amazing anime and manga really. This episode was great 5/5 Knew they would win, but it was still very intense! |

| Damn that was awesome! Chikara is my favourite in this show! I kind of hope they make this show a year later when the third years leave and have new first years just to see how it would go |
 |
| Suga punching Daichi was lol, and Yachi's face afterwards. |

AiraKT said: I never knew I could be so freaking proud of fictional characters, but here I am, just radiating pride for Shouyou and Ennoshita. God, those two just made my week! Now only Tadashi has to succeed and I kinda have a feeling, that it will happen next match. I really hope so, he deserves to be successfull so damn much! But now I'm really forward to the next match and seeing the wonderful adorable Aone in action again <3 Yep watching this show always makes me happy and lifts up my spirits. Good going Ennoshita. Hinata's spike was nice. |
 Fake people have an image to maintain. Real people just don’t care. |
Shigs said: This! The only way this show doesn't follow the trend of one-upping itself every week is if they don't show enough of the game next episode.I hope they show a lot of the match in the next episode.. Those two teams are really up there!!! I'm pumped, what a great episode. Because it's amazing |
 |
| Haikyuu continues to excel with its execution throughout the episode. While the focus was initially on Ennoshita (and booy was that development great), we still got a good mix of the characters, especially Hinata. Karasuno is the embodiment of a team with great chemistry. rikuxbits said: my favorite scene in the entire episode tbh:  smooth af. dammnn Hinata's learning so well That was just pure magnificence. Ukai with the clutch bench save too. ^^ |
 |
| My only problem with this whole Ennoshita thing is, that he was only officially introduced few episodes earlier and now the author is pretending to make him a key player for the team, they even suggested him to be the next captain in a random flashback. But other than that, nice development |
| lmao what a surprise, Daichi sat out for 10 minutes and is now back in time for the next game, this drama was a dumb waste of all our times just like I said. Bokuto's school uniform is cute though, like all of Bokuto. Looks like the next ep's gonna have way too much Oikawa, blegh... Probably just gonna skip to the end and see who wins lol. I love myself too much to suffer through any scene that piece of trash is in. |

It's the sequel effect. Basically everyone that didn't like season 1 and actually made sure the score got every opinion counted towards it didn't bother to watch season 2. The lowest scores now are just people that think it's watchable, rather people that think it's bad, which bumps up the average. You basically shouldn't pay attention to sequel scores as a result lol - unless season 2 is just that drastically different to the first season, the real opinion about the show is season 1's score. I mean, season 1 still got 8.68, but that's more like an average for one of these high school sports animes people go crazy for. This show definitely isn't as good as Hajime no Ippo for example, whose season 1 has a score of 8.85. |
| Quite the match, Ennoshita saving it at the end was really intense and amazing to see, loved the OST that played there. Looking forward to Date vs Seijoh! Having a hard time saying who I prefer to win >.> |
 |
| Great episode, but too much crying at the end. Also wtf is up with the scoreboard?! I was looking at it for ages trying to figure out how they score it. It's supposed to be first to 25 points wins a set, and the match is best of 5 sets. It was showing first that the other team had won 3 sets already, then it showed Karasuno had 3 sets, and they were still playing. I don't really get it. They don't really explain the score or even take much notice of it in this anime. And I still don't quite understand Haikyuu's rating on this site, especially as compared with Baby Steps. That said, I still enjoyed the episode. Exciting match when I wasn't distracted by the score-board issue. |
| Wow. Hinata is incredible ! All the fights with Kageyama were so cool :D. I'm looking forward to see again Ennoshita. He was very good in this match, I love how all the teams accepted his plan. Awesome episode as usual in Haikyuu |

Exciting match when I wasn't distracted by the score-board issue. 25 points = 1 set Win 2 of 3 sets = VICTORY First Set Karasuno (Won) 25-20 Wakunan Second Wakunan (Won) 25-20 Karasuno Third Karasuno (Won) 25-23 Wakunan So it's best of 3? Then what was the "3" in the yellow score? I thought that indicated the score in sets. It was already at 3 and they hadn't finished playing. It didn't say "1-1" and then the points score for the current game. I wish I knew how to put a screen shot from the episode so I'd show you what I mean. |

During the first set there is a "1" in yellow, in the second set a "2" and in te third set a "3". |
| Good episode. Ennoshita did well! Hype for Oikawa though. |
| i hope this season doesn't end with them losing again like last season ! |

FatefulLove said: The line: " A good jumps starts from a good footing" just resonated so vibrantly throughout the recent episodes, it's just such a "feel good" moment, this was simply awesome! +11111 Ennoshita was above all my expectations this episode! He was just amazing :') <3 |
| Ara Ara~ |
| I was so excited to see Ennoshita shine. I've been waiting for these chapters to be animated because Ennoshita is legit one of my favorites. I feel like he is very... realistic? His whole backstory... his personality, it isn't too over the top. It just... is what many people feel in regards to life getting too harsh. It broke seeing him, Yamaguichi, and Takeru cry at the end. D: Also, Suga's love punches for Daichi. ~ <3 On to the next match! |
Coldblade said: TokyoCrazyPXD said: Agreed!!!! 10's across the board for that one!!!! That was slick as hell XD So proud of Hinata Poor sensei though. Lol if Sensei must be sacrificed to save the ball then so be it. That, along with his inciteful speeches, are his contributions! 5/5 for the episode 5/5 for that scene XD simply priceless |
| aaa the last episode was rly great :) i'm rly excited for the next one tho!! |
 |
| I was really happy when Karasuno won, but the very next second, I was sad for Wakunun. This show is so good with making you feel for the opposing team. Ennoshita came in clutch at the end! Hopefully Yamaguchi will follow suit in their next match. I don't see Seijou losing this match against Date Tech, so it looks like Karasuno vs Seijou to end the season again. Hopefully we don't get a heartbreaker this time around and Karasuno pulls it out in an epic game :) |
rikuxbits said: 'my favorite scene in the entire episode tbh: smooth af. dammnn Hinata's learning so well haha ukai picking up the whole entire bench though |
| Akaash is a beautiful human being oh my god |
| Ennoshita delivered lol |
| Episode full of suspense, and also very addictive; I was so taken that for every little mistake of Karasuno went on a rampage. Interesting evolution that has suffered the Karasuno during the accident Daichi, but also interesting skill Nakashima Takeru. Funny gags during and after the game. |
 |
| Damn, Hinata and Chikara were awesome this episode! One of my favorite matches, definitely I really dig that Chikara is going to be the next captain yet this is going to be his last match as a regular+captain for a while. At the same time, I feel conflicted 'cause Daichi is a great captain, too, and I don't want him to graduate along with the other seniors... gah |

| Good episode as usual, nicely paced game. |
 |
| HYPEEEE! What a great win, I'm so happy for Ennoshita!! But at the same time I can't stop feeling bad other teams.. :( |
| Little Giant's Duel ~ !! Don't lose 'shrimpy' !! Making a comeback is tough but we got now choice but to do that ~ . YOOSSSHHAAA !! Ennoshita-san !! you got it alright !! "Plays like that gives you Confidence." Darou ~ .. I want to see more !! VERY GREAT EPISODE !!! In the end, They didn't lose their foundation after all . |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| Ahhh !! Good as usual. |
| A bit corny with all the cheering up but good match. |
 |
| okay pretty much events happening in this one. hinata had his 'little giant' rival and ennoshita had to prove himself as a capable subsitute for sawamura. karasuno as a whole developed actually too with that incident regarding sawamura. everyone had to consider that loss and to react in a proper manner. because of that situation everyone was more concentrated with a sharper intuition than ever. this can be seen as an important experience for karasuno. |

kawaii-despair said: This episode started great, with two of hq!!'s beauties  oikawa's comeback was just awesome. geralt said: The music was on point, though and Nishinoya's "nice receive" was sexy as hell. -__________________- straggy said: lmao what a surprise, Daichi sat out for 10 minutes and is now back in time for the next game, this drama was a dumb waste of all our times just like I said. yeah i have to admit that was just a tad bit dumb. Looks like the next ep's gonna have way too much Oikawa, blegh... Probably just gonna skip to the end and see who wins lol. I love myself too much to suffer through any scene that piece of trash is in. how exactly? oikawa is probably the most contained out of all the cast. ------------------ ok...confused about why there was 3 rounds...when karasuno lost the second round i was confused about why they weren't looking that sad and it wasn't even the middle of the ep lol. the episode felt too long to me, and i along with everyone knew they were going to win so this ep was men imo. ooooooh, so they are going to watch oikawa's match next ep? count me in. |
 |
| The conversation between Daichi and Ennoshita at the end was so sweet :) |

| Great episode! Glad Ennoshita didn't give up. I laughed at their reaction when they saw Daichi again. Plus the four dorks stuffing their face with food tho they're too cute asdfghjkl Oikawa next episode please-- |
 “Even if the attention isn’t forever, I’ll keep singing.” |
| Keep on dreaming Wakunan boy but the new Little Giant is already here. ;) sorry I just had to Good job boys! *clap clap* |
 "Please stop talking about math when I'm eating." |
| So awesome seeing the coach quickly pull the bench away, it may be a small thing but that really felt a huge deal to me ^^ I really dont think Dateko is going to win from Oikawa though. |
 |
| That episode title was so misleading! Since it's titled "The Losers", and since Daichi couldn't play, I was soooo worried they were gonna lose. Really glad they won, though! :D And I'm glad Daichi is okay after all. :) |
| This episode was honestly one of my favorites. It was exhilarating until the very end. What made it so was how it had both all the training coming together and Ennoshita's character arc and acceptance of the fight. Ennoshita making a gameplan for countering the wipes and achieving it while Hinata showed off his Bokuto learned rebound has to be one of my favorite points in the entire anime. MOI KAI!!!! We also had the dive they mastered from the punishment game of losing in practice camp so much. It was awesome the whole way through. Even the other team was great, they had a good synergy going, "you'd look really cool if you hit that", and Takeru had his whole family cheering for him! Even without Daichi, Ennoshita proved that one day he'll make an unexpected but great captain. Another highlight of the episode was when he calmed Hinata down by reminding him, "HINATA, A GOOD JUMP..." "STARTS FROM GOOD FOOTING!!". That bit really actually made my eyes water. Perhaps characters like Asahi and Noya's character arcs are done which is a shame since they're far less important this time around, same with many others, but at least season 2 is giving the development to those who never got it before. Ennoshita, Tsukki, Yamaguchi, and the noob Yachi. :) All while still keeping Hinata and Kageyama going of course. |
