Haikyuu!! 1x14 Reaction

The discussion makes me nervous and excited at the same time since they know our boys too much in just a few episodes that they "may" have predicted a lot of things 🤣 Also, I was so confused at first who Okayama is 😂😂😂

Katsumi

I stole the tournament overview from the manga: https://imgur.com/a/42BR3KS (1) Aoba Johsai (2) Senkawa Kita (3) Ohmisaki (4) Tokonami (5) Karasuno (6) Date Tech (7) Oka First level: 2 vs 3, 4 vs 5, 6 vs 7 Second level: 1 vs [2,3], [4,5] vs [6,7] Third level: [1,2,3] vs [4,5,6,7] Aoba Johsai is seeded higher because they made it very far in the last tournament.

And so it begins. Your first Haikyuu tournament... Enjoy!!!!

Karabo

But in a competitive sense, like "I'm not slowing down for you... If you want to keep up with me, you must be willing to compete on a global stage because that's my ambition" I love it

Karabo

Yes, class definitely plays a role in this story which Furudate does really well in presenting to us. I actually have been in the same exact situation as Ukai where I was an assistant coach for a high school baseball team for years with no pay lol pretty common occurence in the states.

KIMI

The problem is that the Karasuno volleyball team is hardly successful. When we are in season 2 and see the other top schools, it becomes clear that successful teams are showered with money.

Robert H.

This line hits so hard after future manga info about Kageyama.

Lixien

I unironically love the confidence you two have gained in pronouncing the characters names! Sure, I had to do some deciphering, but it oddly adds to the fun!

RPSiege

Yeah man you’re crazy

Salvatore

Tbf it wasn't the school that sought him out, it was Takeda lol

KIMI

The school is messed up for this 😭😭😭

Ashley hui

Coach Ukai is not getting paid for this. He’s just doing it for the love of the game!!

KIMI

japan is divided in 47 "districts" which are a bunch of different areas of the land that do not necessarily always coincide with one city. now, karasuno is located in the miyagi "district" and only 1 team out of all the highschools located in that area can qualify, while nekoma is located in the tokyo "district" and since it's a huge area they let the best 3 teams of all the highschools of that area qualify, instead of just 1 like the other "districts". the whole qualifying goes like this: they win the district tournament -> they go to the nationals that are held in the capital city, tokyo. here's further context that the show thinks you already know if you're japanese and therefore doesn't explain ⬇️ there's two chances of qualifying for the nationals: the interhigh preliminaries (june) and the spring tournament. however, since the school year in japan ends around the same time the spring tournament is held in, and 3rd year students tend to focus on their university exams/careers, most of them leave their clubs months before the year ends in order to prepare and study. so while technically this ISN'T the only chance karasuno has to qualify for the nationals and (hopefully) meet nekoma there, it's pretty much considered the only one since normally 3rd years leave and don't go for the spring tournament. essentially, if they want to go to the nationals with our current 3rd year boys (and go against the current 3rd year boys of nekoma, kuroo is one of them) then they have to win the current interhigh preliminaries. i hope this wasn't too confusing 😅 and please someone correct me if i said anything wrong. with that said, i hope everyone has/had a better day than the one they had yesterday, whichever way yesterday went ☺️

Japan's prefectures are basically the equivalent of states or municipalities within a country. Each prefecture (Karasuno is in Miyagi prefecture) has its own Inter-High qualifier tournament, which is what they're about to attend. Nekoma will not be in their bracket because they are from a different prefecture (Tokyo), and they have their own Inter-High qualifier tournament. Basically, for Karasuno and Nekoma to be able to go up against each other in an official match, they both need to make it to Nationals, and then play well enough to meet each other somewhere in the bracket there.

Kor of the Son

Sounds like a fun drinking game

HenryM

Tanaka lifting Noya up is the best thing I've ever seen

HenryM

"even if i'm the best in japan or the world?" i love how kageyama basically asked hinata if he'll stay by his side no matter what

ashton

We need to have a "I want to die" counter on Milena because it would easily be into the hundreds by the end of this series.

Kevin Frey

Funny thing at the start of the episode, the guy from Tokonami is confused about how to read the name Karasuno: Karasuno (烏野) is Karasu (烏) / からす / "crow or raven" + No (野) / の / "field," but he confused the kanji for "crow" with the kanji for "bird" (鳥, Tori). They are quite similar, so it’s easy to be confused because the kanji for "crow" is the same as the symbol for "bird," but without the eye. Since the crow's body is black and it's hard to see its eyes So instead of Karasuno he misread it as "Torino"

refo44

Not trying to say anything but Lola and Milena bought a Haikyuu shirt and Jessica was a Volleyball player before.

Lixien

There’s basically 2 national high school tournaments every year, so 2 opportunities for Karasuno to play Nekoma if they both do well enough in their local competition. Japanese school year starts in late March early April, so the first tournament is played in June/July, which is the one that’s about to happen. Then, the next tournament is in the new year, called the ‘Spring Tournament’ and I think is somewhere between late January and February. As the Japanese school year ends around this time, it’s like their end of season send -off. Incidentally, the spring tournament is the one that the Little Giant’s team qualified for, that was shown on tv in episode 1.

Jay Craig

I've google it and apparently Serbia is divided in municipalities (општина) so that would be the equal to Japan's prefectures. So Miyagi is the one prefecture where the boys are from. When you win the prefecture tournament you go to Nationals to represent it. Nekoma is from Tokyo so the Kanto region, but at the same time Tokyo is literally one of the largest cities in the world so they are ind of their own thing and because of its size they send 2 teams to Nationals. Someone correct me if I'm wrong

bondbond53

Great reaction as always. and no, the coach doesn’t get paid, he’s doing all of this for free!
