Olympic Volleyball Player Reacts to Haikyuu!! S2E22: "The Former Coward's Fight" 

This episode was everything 🥹🥰 I had some serious FEELINGS going on in this one... season 2 is ending too soon!!

Tsukki playing harder because Yamaguchi is serving 😭😭

i love that when kindaichi showed weakness, sarah's response is not meta analysis on why kindaichi must be feeling the pressure but "WEAKNESS!!! FROM THE ENEMY!!! BURY HIM!!!!!!!!" HAHAHAHAHA goes to show how much sarah is really really really into the competitive spirit HAHAHA

I love when you can really see Sarah's competitive spirit start to burn hot. "Bury him!" 😄

21:13 "Great advice, I don't want to hear it." Why did that make me laugh so much? 🤣🤣 Great reaction btw.

8:50 YA. MA. GU. CHI. RULE. THE. COURT. in this panel/shot, you have yamaguchi standing victorious in front of seijoh's banner that says "Rule the Court". I fucking slammed my phone when i read this in the manga because right at that moment, Yamaguchi was the ruler of the court 😭😭😭😭 i love him an unhealthy amount

Sarah: I love all my volleyball children equally Also Sarah: You know, I don’t like that Oikawa fella 😂😂😂😂

for episode 23 and 24 I’d highly recommend to watch them back to back. you don’t have to post an extra long reaction or anything but watching them back to back really heightens the emotions you’ll feel and greatly enhances the experience.

I know we all wait a week for Sarahs reactions, but this episode I was REALLY waiting for it. So excited to see how she feels about our boy Yamaguchis moment!!!

Love Sarah's toxic moment at 4:45 the minute she sees it's Hinata's turn to serve 🤣

And this is a great example of why Yamaguchi "What do you need other than pride?!" Tadashi is my favorite Karasuno player.

"That would end the match" "I'd forgive you" I just love Hinata, this kid just wants to play, winning is "secondary". If anything he wants to win because it means he's going to play more matches.

Have you noticed in the Yamaguchi comercial break, he does a jump float, so the ball actually comes at us in a very different way than when anyone else is serving?. It is actuall hard to tell when the ball is coming. Those little details even for those things... I love this anime

i can't explain how much i love the relationship between Tsukishima and Yamaguchi:(( that second when the ball was reflecting on tsukki's eyes i bet he was doing everything to keep yams on the game 😭

This is one of my FAVORITE moments of the series. YamaGucci became an absolute chad, so bad that even Oikawa's fangirls were cheering for him.

LOL... You trying to breath between points... PRICELESS... It only gets more intense and better too. I swear no other sports anime has such a rollercoaster of emotions. Almost like you are in/ at the game.

One of my favourite episodes of this season.. I love how they highlighted Yamaguchi’s extraordinary performance, but didn’t exaggerate it as far as to let Karasuno win the second round.. I really love this show so much, as well as Sarah’s reactions.. watching her hyper excited during this episode was pure 💕💕

Sarah, just want to tell you again that you are my FAVOURITE reactor of Haikyuu. Thank you so much!!!! I'm crying for Yamaguchi each time I watch this episode, I love his determined eyes and his calm thoughts!! He definitely saved the day, I’m so proud of his growth. One noticeable thing is that when Yamaguchi was serving, there would be more shots of Tsuki attacking or blocking. While everyone was shocked by Yamaguchi's performance and congratulated him, Tsuki had already taken his efforts to heart and said that the result was not unexpected. (Tsuki is happy, but he doesn’t say it.) These two guys are constantly improving together, and growing to become the SPEAR and SHIELD of Karasuno, as the author mentioned in the manga.

I love this episode so much 💖💖 Yams and Enno gives me so many feels I love them. Also during the cheer everyone holds up one finger for “one more point” but Hinata holds up 5 fingers because “yamaguchi get 10 points” 😂. I love these chaotic kids

"Go after Kindaichi. Bury Him," has to be my favorite line of the video

"Go after Kindaichi. BURY HIM". Dang Sarah. I get it's an important game, but we dont need to kill him like that 😂😂😂

Sarah: “This season’s ending with a bang” Me: If only you knew… prepare your heart, Sarah!

12:12 i just love that the one who got this point is tsukki u know:)

LMAO not you saying "bury him!!" as soon as Kindaichi shows weakness

Fun fact: Tsukishima always covers his head when everyone else is serving, but never for Yamaguchi.

Happy Haikyuu Day, Sarah! August 19 was set as Haikyuu Day since 2015 and this year is also the manga's 10th anniversary.

This is why we were so hyped for this season, so much character growth!

Hey Sarah, awesome react as usual! I want to encourage you to watch both episodes 23 and 24 together, cause episode 23 ends in an anticlimatic way, so it's way better for the overall experience to watch them together! Some other reactors have been done this too

oh boy new sarah pavan upload!!

Sarah love your reactions as always - just as a reminder for future episodes 3rd set is the lest and is played to 25 not 15 points

I’m so excited for you to be done with season 2 coz season 3 is hands down one of my fave seasons. Hahaha I’m so happy to watch haikyuu again in a different lens and it’s like watching with a friend for the first time. Yams redemption is ❤️❤️❤️

posting a reaction to one of my favorite episodes on Haikyuu day, what a delight! witnessing yamaguchi's growth was (and still is!) such a lovely experience- your heart can't help but swell just after that first ace and seeing all of the karasuno boys cheer for him in their own ways :')) also couldn't stop laughing at your small comments ("BURY. KINDAICHI." "GREAT advice, I don't wanna hear it." "i wonder who's serving. *sees hinata* oh PUT in yamaguchi!") and the way you had to pause between points. i assure you, many of us felt the same watching these episodes, and the excitement/hype/fear/heart-racing moments DO not stop in this series LOL

"great advice, i dont wanna hear it" 😭 ms. sarah you never missed youre very funny! luvya! 😂😁

watching haikyuu and seen each players growth really bring tears to your eyes, but in yamaguchi's case, it feels like he's like your child watching him from his first step until he can walk on his own... wow the feels and emotions is so real ... that's why haikyuu is the best sports for me in terms of emotional take and the sports itself eventhough i don't know how to play volleyball.

Another awesome reaction from Sarah. She was pausing so often, getting goosebumps and sweating. Imagine the stress and anxiety she'll feel in S3. That's the great thing about HAIKYUU just when you think can it get more hyped than this, it takes the hype to another level😍. Shimada, Yamaguchi's mentor is so supporting and encouraging. Him shaking and the glare of his glasses while Yamaguchi was nailing service aces melted my ♥.

Bruh i dont think Sarah is gonna survive the last episode of this match XD

Honestly Sarah your reaction just made my day ♡

Time to get a snack and watch this video. Been waiting for this one.

when sarah's already so hype in the first 2 minutes of the video you know it's gonna be a good one!

I am LIVING for your reactions, Sarah 😂👌 You get so invested in it, I laughed so hard several times, because yaaaaas! YAAAS!! One of us! One! Of! Us! 👏

There's an extended ending to season 2 (it's a special ending for one of the movies I believe) and it's worth a watch. Just search for "Haikyuu S2 Aoba Johsai ending" on youtube.

At the end of season two are you planning on doing a video on your “all star team selection” like you did for season one, if so can you add who your bench players would be and coach too. Thanks.

This is really among my top 3 matches in the whole haikyuu manga.

There are two big things Haikyuu!! does great IMO. First, the practice arcs are tremendous, showing all the ways the characters are growing. The other part is, like you said, what you're watching now, the big matches where both teams are pushing each other to their fullest. So glad you're enjoying it, and I hope you're satisfied with the conclusion of the match!

Okay soooo, this video was recommended to me by RU-vid yesterday. I don't really watch Haikyu react videos but I clicked on this just for pure curiosity, and ended up bingeing all of your Haikyu react videos from start to finish because I just LOVE your commentary. I love your volleyball insights, but most of all, I love how you're so invested in the story and all of the characters. Thanks so much for sharing your Haikyu journey with all of us! I'm definitely subbing ♥️

Happy Hakyuu Day to Sarah and everyone! August 19 (8/19) is considered Haikyuu Day because 8-1-9 can be read as HA-I-KYUU in Japanese. I love that we got this awesome episode from you on Haikyuu Day! ❤️

Another great watch. Leaving my support as usual & leaving my personal opinions about the iffy subs as usual: 6:15 「自分の意志で」➔ "On your own?". This is just fine as well as nice & short, but feel that something like "On your own volition" would've gotten the nuance across a bit better since「意志」is "a strong will to do something", & their line can be taken to be just saying that he went alone. 8:01「どいつもこいつも…雰囲気変えてきやがって！」➔ "All of their players have the nerve to get serious…”. Something more literal like “Damn it that every single one of them came back with a different aura/demeanor” would be better, since the original line is expressing Oikawa’s slight frustration AND admiration for the Karasuno squad for coming back with even more determination & a stronger mind-set. Their translation makes it sound like he’s pissed that they're playing "seriously" & doesn't even make sense. Another case of the translators trying to force a slightly "evil taste" to the opposing team members? 15:37「ネットイン！」➔ "It's in!". Don't know why they didn't just directly translate to "Net in!" here, since they themselves translate it as "net drop" later at around 16:11. 16:41「とは言え、本人としては不本意だろうけど」➔ “Though I’m sure he’s entirely comfortable with that”. This is obviously a mistranslation. It should be more like “That being said, I’m sure that for the person (Yamaguchi) himself, it’s not an entirely satisfactory situation”. 「不本意」means "against one's will" or "not one's intent", & Shimada is talking about the ball happening to touch the net for a "lucky" in & score neither was what the newly motivated Yamaguchi aimed for nor is he relieved/happy about it. They’re version is definitely missing a “not”. 26:47「一番濃い試合やってるよな」➔ "We're having our most intense match yet". This should be more like "we (really) DO have our most intense matches (with them), it seems". This line is actually the continuation of the line that started at 26:12. Sawamura is saying that by reflecting on all 3 matches they've had with Seijoh, it seems that they're always having the most densely packed games with them, not that this last match is comparatively more intense than the other 2. Her competitive nature driving her to talk negatively about & towards the opponent team & its members as if they're "villains to be vanquished" is still bothering me a bit, but when she started talking about attacking Kindaichi as a weak link, I must admit I was like "Oh, ho. Too bad...", knowing how he was going to make a come-back of sorts right afterwards. LOL & I just wanna add that I love the way Yoshino, Hiroyuki is voicing Iwaizumi with lines like 「どっちだよ？(20:44)」.

18:42, where Suga and Ennoshita just casually cover their ears as the short-but-loud duo bust a lung next to them

今までのみてきた中でこの人のリアクションが一番このシーンを熱く見れた。 ありがとう😭

Thank you Sarah for these week after week releases! It is giving my life meaning!

Sara please once the season is over you need (and everyone who hasn't) to see an special video about oikawa ❤️❤️

Oh my god Sarah is sooooo cute hahaha. Never seen this side of you before, its great!

"i know yout gona get mad when i pause" nonono, i love when you pause the show and talk or coment about what happend on it

Here's the extra Aoba Johsai ending to watch after episode 25 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Lao54_hFaA0.html

Bahahaha Sarah you seriously crack me up. “Great advice. I don’t want to hear it.” 😂

This made my day. Been waiting to see Sarah's reaction to this espisode (one of my fav) since season 2 started. Can't wait to see your reactions to the rest of the espisodes. Season 2 is great, you won't be disappointed!

yes new video from the best Haikyuu reactor, it's great to start the morning from other side of the world ✌️

I think this was my favorite reaction you've done so far. You were just so hyped it was so easy to get into it with you.

The amount of hype I see from Sarah in this season.....oh boy, hold on Sarah from this moment til the beginning of season 4😅😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣.... ALSO, can't wait to see her reaction to the next person's character arc moment next season😁😁😁😁☺️

This is one of your best reaction haha! I was laughing out loud at your excited reactions while watching this in the gym. Looking forward to see you react to the next 2 episodes and the next 2 season haha.

Lol, I just want to say I was feeling the exact same as you when you said you already felt like you were on the verge of tears. Only difference is that I've seen this many times before XD But hey, that's the power of Haikyuu for ya :D

IM SOO HAPPY U'VE GOTTEN TO THIS EPISODE. yamaguchi had such an emotionally fulfilling highlight!! i love how invested and in tune you are with this series.

Love your reactions, Sarah. Looking forward to the next few episodes!!!😁

@7:45 Sarah, Shimada wasn't saying that Tadashi went to Grandpa Ukai's - that's a poor translation on the subtitles to have the apostrophe and the s there. He was saying "You went to Coach Ukai, right? On your own?" meaning the previous flashback scene where Tadashi asked for another chance.

I'm happy to see your wonderful sending like this on Haikyuu day.（819＝hachi-ichi-kyuu in japanish）

SARAH I LOVED THIS?!?! I truly felt all your emotions as you saw Yamaguchi shine, it almost made me tear up too!!! I am so so excited for you to watch the rest of S2!! (also agreeing with some other commentators to watch the next two episodes together!)

I have seen many react to Haikyuu but no one reacted with such empathy!! Thank you! You made me feel nervous watching it again!!

"Final Set" has very real meaning in the context of high school sports. After this, these teams will never be the same teams. While Karasuno players may face Oikawa or Iwaizumi in the future, it will never be as Karasuno again.

Love watching your reactions to this series! :)

Thanks!

12:30 I am not sure if Sarah saw that Tsukki smiled!!!!

I love your reaction... i will see more of these... thank you very much

Yamaguchi, aka YamaGucci, aka YamaGOAT. The sweetest redemption moment.

this is literally the only channel that i watch even the intro

I cried watching this episode, it just hits right in the feels

Just watched you at the MBO, you're an amazing player! Thanks for another great video!

i love your vids so much!! please keep it up :) I'm excited for your next reaction

But Sarah if you bury the turnip it will only grow more turnips.

Patiently waiting until the finale to be able to comment what I want to comment without spoiling anything hahaha

all ima say is the next set is my favorite set of volleyball played in the whole story.

I was waiting this moment for months, this time reaction is best !

This is the only happy Haikyuu related thing this week. 😩 ty Sarah.

Sarah not laughing to Tooru's jokes and not serious moments is kinda stressing me 🤣 he really hates the guy lmao

As a person who has seen the show and loves reactions, I like how you stop during the ep and talk, breathe, and teach. Came for the reactions; stayed for the volleyball! 😄

I was expecting you at 12:50 to turn blue again! 😆😆 Genie Sarah indeed! As usual, great reaction video, thanks for providing us enjoyment!

those episodes are definitely my favorite episodes

aaaaah... been waiting for this one.

This reaction was so cute! ❤

CONGRATULATIONS ON WINNING THE GOLD FOR COMMONWEALTH GAME'S!!!
