Wow that was pretty damn intense haha. What a cliffhanger! It seems the best way to end the second to last episode though.

Tsukki is just incredible, you can tell how bad his finger hurts but he's pushing past it. I suppose he's a lot more like Hinata than he might like to think haha.

Seeing the Karsuno boys unable to move their legs instantly reminds me of the weak wobbly feeling in my legs I get when I've used them too much. They'd never let that be the reason they lose though.

There were a lot of really cool dynamic shots and animation in this episode, it really added to the flare and I'm glad they saved a lot of these amazing shots for the end as it really added to the intensity for me. The plays on both teams have been really good, but we all know which team is the flashier of the two.

Coach Ukai's new voice actor is doing a great job. I can't imagine it's easy to take over an already well established role, not just making it your own but also trying to match the previous actor as closely as possible. I have a lot of respect for that.

Ah my heart is exploding, gasping for air, dying... dying ahghhehfdihg
Nishinoya had a godly save, holy crap what was that amazing spin!? And Tsukki has changed so much it makes me smile at how passionate he is now while still struggling for air because... tension
Everyone is legit dead at this point, looks like next episode (from the preview it seems he didn't score) will be a battle of attrition and willpower, it'll probably get me tearing up too

And... I know he's trying... but I don't think I'll be getting used to Ukai's new seiyuu for a long time TT^TT

Nishinoya and Tsukki were amazing, I CANNOT WAIT FOR THE NEXT EPISODE! I was squealing and fangirling so hardcore, who cares if I was being obnoxious and loud!

But man, RIP to the VA of Ukai :( Miss his voice.

There were some spurs of animation throughout the episode which were absolutely stunning to look at and coupled with the amazing soundtracks, it definitely made the episode very exciting.
5 main aspects I base my ratings on:
1. Did DramaEnthusiast make a thread about it?
2. Is it better than Breaking Bad?
3. Did MellowJello recommend the shit out of it?
4. Has it caused a (very entertaining) shitstorm on MAL?
5. Is it actually good?

Scratch the fifth point, it's not very relevant...

Great episode. The intensity of this match is so nerve racking.
So weird hearing a new voice for Coach Ukai. Well best of luck.

Tsukki is back & determined to get in no matter what.
Noya is such amazing support. Everyone nearing their limit, but determined to keep going.

That ending thought. Just had to leave it there.
1 more episode left. Cannot wait to see who wins.

I've said this many times! DAMNIT! SO MANY EPIC MOMENTS! and I'm seriously having a breathing problem right now!!!

My baby crows they are all MVPs to me! They all did their best!
Kags with his dump shot! Daichi! Tanaka! Asahi! and Hinata! holding on for too long! they've been playing non stop!



(BONUS) Hinata karate chopping his thighs! hahaha!

Tsukki! the Hero of this match! his return was so glorious!
He's getting faster with read blocks! and him screaming ONE TOUCH!!! was so awesome!

and ofcourse NISHINOYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!! If Tsukki is the hero, Noya for me is the freaking LEGEND!


GAHHHHH! He's always got the craziest moves! and best speeches! in haikyuu!
The double save! the body twist! DAMNNNNN!!! THAT KILLED ME! Seriously?! HOW IN THE WORLD COULD HE?!... No doubt this dude is a LIBERO GOD!
their reactions after was so funny! LOL! and Noya's line afterwards shook me to the core!


And they had to end it with a cliffhanger?!! HAHA! this is torture!
Sad to think that Ukai's voice changed but it's not that bad...
NEXT WEEK IS THE FINAL EPISODE!!!

Shit, they actually did a cliffhanger. I thought the game would finish up this episode.

I wasn't sure if we were getting to the new VA for Ukai this season but that is indeed the case. He'll take a bit of time to get used to but I actually quite like it, I think he did a really good job this episode.

But oh man, was I waiting for this panel to get animated. Nishinoya so good.

last week got to me because i knew it would be the last time i heard Ukai's VA :(, to early the judge the new one i can tell hes trying but Tanaka had a very unique voice.


this season has simply been amazing can tell it really was the final with the amount of time slows and flashbacks which is fair gotta fill that time somehow.


the True MVPs not that everyone else didn't have their moments are Nishinoya And Tsukki , seriously ending like that!

I was really really waiting for the episode to be released and gave up sleeping early because I have to watch it no matter what.

The episode was freaking cool and satisfying but it ended in a flash and that major cliffhanger that made me think and think until I fell asleep.



And Coach Ukai's voice will never be the same. I'm missing that rough and strong voice. The new one is not as strong as the original. I can't feel it much.
。・゚・(ノД`)・゚・。

Tsukki's determination and concentration is superb. Same with Nishinoya's save. Dang! These two really saved Karasuno there.

Does Wakatoshi tries to further injure baby Tsukki??? With that power spike directly on Tsukki's injured hand?!

The waiting game starts again. And better prepare for it to end and wait again for the next season.

I'm so upset they ended it right there! I waited 3 weeks to finish the final set all at once and then I ended up leaving with the biggest cliffhanger of the season 😭

I hope the end of the set isn't too sudden. I wanted to carry my emotions over from episode to episode until the match was over. Oh wellll. I guess we'll see how this unfolds next week! :D

I agree on the fact that New Ukai's VA has a voice too soft, but I wonder if it's not because I was used to Kazunari Tanaka's voice. Anyway, I'm sure the new VA will make a good work. R.I.P Kazunari Tanaka

To discuss about the episode, it was amazing! And that cliffhanger with the zoom on Hinata was great. I'm really happy that they took 10 episodes for this match because a lot of things happened. \
Nishinoya! :D (I want to see another rolling thunder)

Another great episode! I like how they emphasized that everyone's legs were at their limit. I was squealing all throughout especially with Tsukki's scenes. Best character development ever! But of course, everyone's doing their best.

I fell in love with all the characters and it's pretty sad to think that next week will be the last episode. I hope they make an OVA though, just to let me see my babies some more.

That damn cliffhanger almost killed me.

Anyway, am I the only one hearing the late Kazunari-sensei in my head? I'm too used to hearing his voice. XD But the new seiyuu isn't too bad either. :) It just feels weird hearing a new one for Coach Ukai.

Has any anime ever been so intense ... ? This episode tho. I play volley but if I'm given another life, I wish to begin earlier to be a professional volleyer... Honestly. This anime makes me forget my life. And it gives exceptionnal motivation bumps.

I just don't like the "battle of ideologies" thing, you cannot say an ideology is better than another, that one is superior. one triumphs over another according to the circumstances and that's it. You cannot hierarchize them. Anyway. This anime is still damn crazy.
