2022-12-02 06:05:25 +0000 UTCI was so excited when you started this show, because I knew immediately you’d connect with Asahi and his struggles. And you’d be able to conceptualize and understand what he’s going through and really be able to talk it through. I guess, you’d be surprised how many reactors kind of push Asahi to the side and downplay his pain. But I knew you’d be able to get it, and I’m so happy you’re reacting! I’m excited for the next few episodes, can’t wait to see them!

2022-11-25 05:47:17 +0000 UTC@Ryan That is so amazing! I love the creative names that they give (even if they are hard to memorize😅). Anyways, thanks for the info, I think that chart was the last piece of the puzzle for my understanding of volleyball. Happy Thanksgiving (I know it is an American holiday, but I still want to wish it from the states)!

2022-11-25 05:45:14 +0000 UTC:D I, perhaps very foolishly, thought that you were avoiding saying the name of the substitute because it's actually kinda a mild spoiler. But we've come this far. Hopefully Goodwin isn't down here: Ennoshita Chikara (縁下 力) is taken from the expression "ennoshita-no chikara-mochi," which means the guy behind the scenes who makes things happen, but the better English translation is "the unsung hero."
Ryan
2022-11-25 05:34:28 +0000 UTC@Ryan No mean to disrespect, I’m just bad with names. It’s at the tip of my tongue, actually spent time trying to memorize the name of the substitute. I think there were aspects of the show that I hand waved as anime panache, especially in the team dynamics, but slowly realized that they were realistic aspects of sports. I went to an NBA game yesterday with my family (mainly to hang out with them), but made sure to pay special attention to the team and commentary. It helped me gain a better understanding and appreciation for team dynamics and showed how ignorant I was at the beginning. Edit: SPOILERS FOR GOODWIN SPOILERS FOR GOODWIN YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED I remember it was Ennoshita. Ennoshita’s a GOAT and it never felt like the author was simply trying to artificially make him relevant. It felt amazing and real and I hope to see more of him and the other bench warmers (no offense).

2022-11-25 05:30:34 +0000 UTCAny time. My one redeeming quality is that I've collected tons of random info, haha, so it's always nice for me when people ask for it rather than me just foisting it on people whether they want it or not. ;) As a sports fan, and as someone who used to play, there were a good four scenes with "the substitute" in the Wakunan match that wrecked me for being painfully and beautifully close to home.
Ryan
2022-11-25 05:24:38 +0000 UTCAlways reassuring when someone else tries to do the same net-drawing thing, haha. Glad you're here, too. I think you probably meant the other direction for the arrows in your back row, but, yeah, seeing that makes me feel almost like we're on a team, haha. :)
Ryan
2022-11-25 05:13:02 +0000 UTC@Ryan Thank you Ryan-Sensei. SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS Yeah, I actually just started the final match, so I know that match you are talking about. I was so pleasantly surprised. The games keep getting better and better. The first prelim game in season two was probably my least favorite game in the series. The second I was cynical about, but was surprised by how clever it was and showed me to appreciate height in the series, as in my head I had joked early on that height was the power system of the show, but it showed me just how much height meant. Sounds kinda weird, but I’d never played sports. The third match surprised me, as I wasn’t sure whether the “unorthodox tactics” gimic would be actually realistic, but I was surprised by how well thought out it was. Very solid. The fourth game blew me away. I wasn’t sure how exciting it would be, since this was a team we’d never heard of. However rather than overhyping the team, taking out Daichi created some incredible tension and really allowed the substitute to shine. I loved it! Also the makeshift chart was extremely pleasing on my brain, so thank you very much.

2022-11-25 05:08:31 +0000 UTCI'm assuming by "Takaba" you mean "Tanaka." Also, by "9 main characters," I can see you haven't quite reached my favorite part of Season 2. ;) Please enjoy eating those words, haha.
Ryan
2022-11-25 04:47:22 +0000 UTCJust to add on to everyone else: the position names are more like roles rather than physical positions. they rotate in a set formula that kinda looks like this (if patreon doesn't mess it up): ----------------net----------------------------------- wing spiker --> middle blocker --> wing spiker ^ v setter <-- middle blocker (libero) <-- wing spiker** **serving position The libero switches out with the middle blocker in the back once they move out of the serving position. So if one round Tsukishima (MB) served, then they have to rotate again, Noya would take his place in the back middle until the middle blocker has to go to the front row. Libero never plays front row as they are not allowed to block (blocking directly scores points, which is something liberos are not allowed to do). Asahi on the other hand is a wing spiker (ace essentially just is your most powerful spiker, whoever is most likely to break through a triple block head on). Pre-Asahi, our starting line-up was 2 middle blockers (Tsukki and Hinata), Kageyama as setter, and 3 wing spikers (Daichi, Tanaka, and Ennoshita [a second year]). Based entirely on which characters have been formally introduced to us, Asahi is most likely to replace Ennoshita on the field (also bc Asahi is older as a 3rd year and hence outranks Ennoshita). Speaking of age, have a fun fact: of our 4 first years (Hinata, Kageyama, Tsukki, and Yamaguchi), Hinata is the oldest and Kageyama is the youngest! **(edited so arrows faced correct direction in the back row of the diagram)**

2022-11-25 04:43:38 +0000 UTCRight, so, in volleyball, you have a "Starting 7" (6 on the court + libero). Typically, it's numbered in terms of order of serving like this: ========Net======== 4 3 2 ----------center line---------- +Libero 5 6 1* (star=server) Next rotation: ========Net======== 5 4 3 ----------center line---------- (6 subbed out) Libero 1 2* Who you put first at #1 is totally arbitrary. It's just a matter of trying to match up with the other team well when you rotate, but normally you want a strong server up first, so let's put Kageyama in #1 just for demonstration. #1 - Setter (Kageyama/Suga) #2 & #5 - Wing Spiker (Tanaka/Asahi) #3 & #6 - MB (Hinata/Tsukki) #4 - Opposite (Daichi) Typically, the libero would sub in for either 2&5 or 3&6, whichever pair was weaker on defense. If they're 3 apart, the libero gets to stay on the court for the longest. So yeah, in Karasuno's case, he'll come on for Tsukki/Hinata, whichever MB is in the back row, unless people were tired, injured, or they were running some special play. If he comes on for 6 in this example, though, then next rotation, that'd force the libero up to the front, so he has to come off for at least one play: Rotation 3: ========Net======== 6 5 4 ----------center line---------- (Libero) 1 2 3* And then the libero will come back on to replace #3 as soon as possible. Usually as soon as they lose a point on #3's serve. So, Tsukki and Hinata only really play for extended times in the front row. They'll be swapped out as much as possible when they're in the back for Noya. Hope that makes sense. [Side technical note: in volleyball, the numbers don't change. #1 always means the server. I'm just rotating the numbers for demonstration]

2022-11-25 04:43:34 +0000 UTCLIGHT SPOILERS FOR GOODWIN LIGHT SPOILERS FOR GOODWIN Of the 9 main characters during the games, it seems that Hinata, Kageyama, Asahi, Daichi, and Takaba are the main regulars, while Noya and Tsukki alternate. Sugawara is an alternate setter and Yamagucci is a pinch server. Is Tsukki the opposite of Hinata? And does Noya always replace Tsukki when Hinata is in front? If so, what about the other two turns that Tsukki is up front. Also, which player in the positioning serves each rotation? I’m genuinely curious about how the team is arranged.

Carlos Salazar
2022-11-25 02:35:25 +0000 UTCVolleyball positions: - There's a line across the court about 3m away from the net called the "center line" or the "10-foot line" in freedom units. Each play, a maximum of 3 people are allowed to start in front of that line. If you're one of those 3 people in the "front row," then you can jump from there to hit spikes or blocks. If you're in the "back row," then you have to jump from behind the line to spike, which is harder. Within back row or front row, though, you can move around freely. There are no strict left-or-right requirements, and front row players can move back if they want for more defense. It's just back row players that can't attack from the front. Liberos can only be in the back row, so if the rotation would move them to the front, they have to switch out for one turn, and then come back in again next rotation. Liberos have unlimited subs. Obviously, there's more to it, but that's the basics. - Related note, but super frustratingly, Crunchyroll subs call front row the "vanguard" and back row the "rearguard." That's an overly literal translation of "zen-ei" and "kou-ei," which were military terms for lines of attack in old warfare that got borrowed for sports terminology. So, when you read "vanguard" or "rearguard," just imagine "front row" (i.e. people who can block and attack from in front of the center line) and "back row" (people who can't). - There are 2 'wing spiker' positions, so yes, Asahi and Tanaka have largely the same position: one in the front row, and one in the back at any given time. It's just like how there are 2 middle blockers (Tsukishima and Hinata). Daichi's spot is also a "spiker," but Daichi's spot is called an "opposite" because he's sort of paired up 3 away from the setter, so if the setter's in front, he's in the back, and vice versa. Language notes: - Asahi and Nishinoya's names are meant to be opposite of each other. Azumane Asahi (東峰 旭, "east-peak dawn") Nishinoya Yuu (西谷 夕, "west-valley evening") - Ukai (the coach) in this show is written 烏養 "crow-nurturing" Nishinoya's shirt idioms: ~ 7:10 百戦錬磨, 'hyakusen renma' "polished from training in 100 battles" (used commonly as a word for "battle-tested") ~ 18:50 一刀両断, 'ittou ryoudan' "one-slice sides-cut" --> splitting something clean in half with a single attack (from a sword). Often used as a word for a very decisive move broadly, even in boardgames or business negotiations. Tanaka's "city boy" thing wasn't an English pun. Tsukishima just laughs because calling people "city boy" sounds like something people in the 1980s would say. Just imagine if someone started calling rival team members "greasers" or something. Credit where it's due: I think the subtitles actually do a good job there adding in that realistic humor.
Ryan
2022-11-25 02:11:45 +0000 UTCYep. Much like how both Tsuki and Hinata are both Middle Blockers. Volleyball involves rotating postions after every point scored, so their are usually 2-3 players playing the same position in one line up. The exception usually being the setter and the libero.

Niko
2022-11-25 01:46:09 +0000 UTCApparently the libero doesnt serve or rotate to the frontline. So its a special defensive position that often gets filled by a smaller player. They also wear a different color during the game. I think it gets explained a bit at some point during the show.
Niko
2022-11-25 01:43:02 +0000 UTCI have gotten my knowledge of volleyball from 1 1/2 seasons of Haikyuu, so I’m not exactly an expert, but Asahi is a wing spiker like Tanaka. He wouldn’t replace Tanaka, as WING spiker means there is one on each side. He’s the ace because he’s the best spiker.
Chris Sharpe
2022-11-25 01:40:29 +0000 UTCThat makes sense, thank you!
Alex G
2022-11-25 01:31:14 +0000 UTCI'm not a volleyball expert but rotations move people around and some people may be flexible to be a hitter in front when they're position is better in the back but the main roles play the same role just move around differently. The setter is always gonna set even if he's rotated near back. Once the game is in play you can move around wherever you want.
