| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- The episode was alright, mostly because I thought the guys were trying hard with their practice. I really like Koutarou's role in this episode though especially his energy and enthusiasm. Now that I think about it though, almost everyone is literally working their ass off lol except Tsukishima. The girls provide watermelon. So lucky, I'm jealous D:  |

| The practice can be seen because not only both of them feeling difference to each other, but also other members not used to their improvements. I think the punishment this time is more normal than last time. Megane guy doesn't seem to improve, but got forced by Nakamura-san's character. It seems like there's a past that he didn't want to be serious? There's a brother for Megane guy, who were in the same team as small titan? The main guy sensing that scary aura from the ace and led him hit instead. More about megane guy next? |

| This time focuses on Tsukishima, who seems to be straying off from the others because of his past. Watermelon scene was nice; Hinata, Kenma, and Lev being good friends. Looks like it'll show Akiteru next episode. |
 |
| Decent episode today. Love the char dev going on. Can relate to whats happening. Had a friend who always felt there wasn't a need to take Sports/Clubs too seriously and was basically in it due to school regulations. Hard to motivate people like this, but im hopeful Glasses can be on the same page as everyone else soon. |
 |
| This frustrates me so much that I don't know why Tsukishima is like this! I want to know! I don't want spoiler myself... Hope soon they will explain why he is like this! |
    |
| Tsukki development at last. He's definitely one of the most undeveloped right now. Can't wait for him to gain at least some motivation. He'll definitely be a beast. I'm actually surprised he just doesn't say "I quit". I mean all that running for someone who joined the club without much motivation would totally turn a person off. Time for some of his flashbacks next week. Loved Hinata and Kageyama's reactions to eachother's changes. Nekomata's probably the only one that notices the changes XD No real focus on the matches yet but now all Karasuno need is gaining experience so when they get used to all their individual newly developed skills we'll probably get a few matches then. Should be hype. Yachi's "u want some balls" was lol And loved Dat Asahi aura. Even Hinata felt it XD |
 |
| Everything was handled perfect as always. So next episode is finally |
| I love Bokuto and Kuroo interactions That's the start of Tsukki's development |
| nice to see some more focus on tsukki, he's been sort of left out |
| :3 |
| Finally getting to Tsukki! I thought we would have to wait a few more episodes for this, but next week is going to be so good. Can't wait to see Yamaguchi's big moment *v* I've been looking forward to this whole part since I stumbled upon it last year, ha. |
 |
| Great episode that focuses on Tsukki. I would love to see his past more and see what he can do, he definitely loses motivation easily somehow. |
| Yay! Tsukki's development at last. Also I'm glad that there was so much Bokuto since he is one of my faves. Can't wait for the next ep! |
| yes, time for tsukki to shine!! it's also really nice to see nekoma and fukurodani again, even though it's only been a few eps. :) |
| It was entertaining see the team using their new moves without fear despite being on an unstoppable losing streak! From Nekoma's coach saying that everyone but one is changing, and to Ukai mentioning how Karasuno's defense would improve greatly once Tsukki wants to start playing. It makes it really interesting on how despite all of Tsukki's complaints and feeling somewhat removed, yet he is still playing. How he feels inferior to Hinata means that he cares at least to that extent. Can't wait for his character development that would lead to their first win in the practice matches! A defense to another level, talk about lot of "shocks" to look forward to in the matches. |
 |
| Kageyama and Hinata looking at each other thinking the other has changed. Damn it, these babies make me too emotional all the time sometimes. Inwardly screaming 'Tsukki whyyyyyy?!?!?!?' throughout the episode. kawaii-despair said: I need this.So next episode is finally |
 |
| Tsukishima has practically been background fodder so I'm glad he's getting some development. It appears that he has an older brother who played with the Little Giant and was in the same situation that he's currently facing with Hinata. Next episode should be another good one. It was nice to see Bokuto some more in this episode, he's really funny and I like the energy he brings to the scenes he's in. Also, Karasuno needs to win a damn game lol. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. |
| Kuroo is such a master manipulator^^ Good adaptation. More Tsuki next week. |
| Nice to see the other teams again. Everyone in Karasuno is growing and evolving to get better. Lots of focus on Tsukishima. He needs to get serious about volleyball if he wants to get better. |

Cant wait another week to see this D: And I love how they adapt everything from the Manga so nicely. This makes it great to watch. Also liked the part where Hinatas like "The Tokyo Tower!!" and everyone is laughing and Kageyama's there thinking by himself "Oh it is not?"- Cute little dorks :D |
| Kuroo the master of manipulation! kawaii-despair said: Everything was handled perfect as always. So next episode is finally Kuroo and Bokuto is definitely the best duo in making fun of people. XD |
 |
| Yay, some Tsukki! Also, Hinata is getting scarier and I love it. |
 |
| Tsukki development next week. Looking forward to this, he's one of my favorite Haikyuu characters. |
 |
| Kind of disappointed that the flashback wasn't this episode, but instead next week's, but still, I like how their easing into a different character aside from Kageyama and Hinata (they really need to make up... Yachi was trying so hard to get them to talk) and trying to improve that character. I also like how this episode is also easing into more action as the practice games become more vigorous and show more techniques. |
| A lot of Tsukishima in this episode. Next episode is probably his backstory. Funny how Hinata and Yamaguchi were discussing what friendship speech to give Tsukishima at the end lol |
 |
| Damn, even with everyone evolving they still have a lot of issues to work out O_O I guess that was to be expected in terms of realism I suppose so I'm not bothered by it Still, Tsukishima was annoying me for most of this episode but after seeing that he had a brother who probably overworked himself/tried too hard that maybe it affected his health in more ways than one, I can understand why Tsuki doesn't try that hard....Maybe his bro neglected him and their family or something along the lines of that |
| Baby Tsukki! Can't wait! |
| This was a great episode. Looking forward to some Tsukki development, hope he at least gets motivated. I'm also very excited for Karasuno's change, even Yachi is less nervous now~ And wow, Azumane had a killer aura, even Hinata and the people on the side perceived it |

tsubasalover said: Wow, is that for real? That half grew 2 cm in 2 weeks? It was 2 millimeters, so 0.2 cm. 2 cm would be crazy lol. Good episode, hoping for some nice character development for Tsukki. Liked how Asahi completely shut down Hinata on that chance ball. Everyone is improving, can't wait until another tournament starts. |
| Still thinking this arc is fantastic; the training has been very thorough and we're getting excellent character development. Kuroo and Bokuto trying to train Tsuki was great, though it'll obviously take more to get him to open up. At least Nishinoya's stomach is big haha. |
 |
| Oh, we're finally getting some Tsukki development. |
 |
| I'm wondering... at the pace we're going, |
 |
yhunata said: I'm wondering... at the pace we're going, That would be a logical stopping point imo. As for the episode itself, great that we're finally seeing another side to Tsukishima then "jackass". He actually reminds me a bit of me when I used to play sports in middle school...the difference is that I wasn't good. Bokuto and Kuroo's interactions were too great :'D |
| Now we know the reason they were doing some random shots on Tsukki's face last week... I'm glad there's a background to his apathy, though. I hope they can get to his ice heart and melt it little by little :3 |
.....    |
| Yay! Tsukishima's development mini-arc, I hope they show more scenes of the Little Giant's hitting next week. |
 |
| Tsukishima's past OMG T_______T Baby Tsuki <33 and more about his past T___T |
| Great episode as always. Really nice how the rest of team is slowly developing. Tsukki is finally getting some development. |
 |
| great episode as always. loved how the karasuno guys are all trying to improve! even if it's not enough for a win yet... and it looks like we're getting some tsukki development which is pretty nice. looking forward to more of it! |

They are sticking to the manga to fullest extent possible. Finally Tsukki development will begin. Kuroo and Bokuto are awesome. |
 Fake people have an image to maintain. Real people just don’t care. |
| Good ep. Nice to have some spotlight on Tsukishima! |
| Awww yes, more Bokuto, Kuroo, and Akaashi! :D And we're finally at Tsukki's huge development stage for this training arc. Backstory next time, here we go! And man, that one OST towards the end had a ridiculously awesome piano part. Hayashi Yuuki does not disappoint at all with these new OSTs! ^^ |
 |
| Another good episode. I am glad they focused on Tsukishima, he was a flat character so far. The moment Kagiyama and Hinata stared at each other during practice, that what makes Haikyuu exciting :D I also love the sense of competition in the team, much more motivation to keep improving. |
| My Anime List | |
| I've been waiting to experience these episodes for over a year now. Tsukishima quickly became one of my favourite characters, there's so much to him and so much potential there. I'm so glad we're finally getting legitimate character development for him, and tangible goals/foreshadowing. I can't wait for next episode. but ya'll, is it just me or did a perfect OST get even better with this season? fucking love it. Aymaan143 said:  Yacchan is best |
PetalBlizzard said: but ya'll, is it just me or did a perfect OST get even better with this season? fucking love it. Yesss I totally noticed this! The piano piece that started up at around 19:30 was sososo good! And ugh yes my baby Kei is finally getting his glorious screentime/chara development! It was really nice getting practically an entire episode from his POV. It makes it apparent that though he messes with his fellow Karasuno members, he truly respects their devotion to volleyball [And gets along great with his Senpai!], but just doesn't understand their drive himself [YET ;D winkwinknudgenudge]. Also yep, Karasuno's superior losing streak! Man, when you find out their win/lose ratio at the end of training camp week it is a laugh! |
| Next week we will finally see what a thug the little giant really was.He ruined the career of Tsukishima's brother. |
