THIS IS TOO GOOD RIGHT NOW.. Haikyuu!! Season 2 Episode 5 “Greed” | REACTION 

These conflicts are both my favorite and my most disliked, because neither side is really in the wrong. Kageyama wants Hinata to become a better all around player by focusing on his shortcomings, while Hinata wants to polish his one skill to the absolute limit. It's also interesting that Kageyama, Sugawara and Coach Ukai (all setters) end up sharing the same opinion because they don't quite have a spiker's perspective on what HInata is describing.

Hintata & Kageyama fight and squabble all the time... but the way this one is written and animated, you can tell this isn't the same. They really have opposite viewpoints on what the next steps are and both 100% believe they are right. I find both viewpoints understandable to be honest and it's heartbreaking see a rift between them. But it's so realistic to working with other people, whether it's sport or a creative work-- when you have a fundamental disagreement on something important it can become a MASSIVE issue immediately. It only becomes a bigger deal because of how closely aligned the two are. Fucking amazing show, never stops being top tier. Best anime ever.

14:16 this comment too. hinata is great at socializing and making friends. but his relationship with kageyama is not even a friendship per se, but a partnership fueled by their passion and love for volleyball. kageyama was the first one to acknowledge hinata's potential (although probably not his full potential as one individual weapon) and worked with him whenever he asked for extra tosses, stayed after practice together and all. so it hurts more

Both have their pov but I agree with Hinata more here. Suga, ukai, and kageyama are all setters so they can't see Hinata as a spiker point of view. And I know kageyama is trying to tell Hinata not to be selfish but at the same time he was like saying 'just do like we used to because i'm here and just do what I said'

conflict, like everything else in haikyuu, is so well written you can see both points and agree to some extent. i'm obviously on hinata's side for this one but as Rise said, they're short on time. the tournament is just around the corner, they need to take the most advantage of this training camp as a team and maybe not focus on individual completely new skills. bc that can and will throw off the balance of the team, like kageyama said. which is not necessarily a bad thing and it's actually necessary for growth. but again, they don't have time on their side. (also, to note, kageyama was probably projecting a bit here too with the whole "your selfishness will throw off the balance of the team" bc that's what got him benched and ostracized in the first place when he was in middle school.) you can also see ukai's inexperience as a coach as well. man's trying his absolute best, bless him, but the uncertainty is palpable. 14:04 i love that you know the characters so accurately at this point lmao. with hinata too. y'all understood that he was coming from a place of wanting to be better and not purely selfish greed. and you also noted from previous episodes some changes in his attitude/mindset that lead to this moment. this is definitely the season of evolution. can't wait for y'all to see how all of this pays off

Idk if anyone commented this but at 3:44 I think the coach got shades on cause they got lit asf the night before with Tanakas sister 😭 the lil details in the show always make me smile cause it’s such a small and almost unnecessary detail to have but it adds a level of realism cause lik these grown folks on a work vacation they tryna have fun too

I’m telling y’all BrUH the character development on this show is top tier

One of my fav episodes of the season lowkey

It’s so cool how you can see both perspectives. Kageyama is taking the more team-oriented and Hinata is taking the more self-improvement view (opposite from the usual perspectives they take), yet they’re both right and wrong in my opinion. I lean towards Kageyama’s side because it makes more sense for the time frame and their unstable team even though, under ideal circumstances, Hinata would be right.

Everyone diverging here is gonna get fucking lit and I've always appreciated this episode for showing disagreement to the point of an actual fight because both points are valid but equally important and how a team like this can get seriously shaken up by the typical shounen ambition of 'I'm going to be the best'

I really like this episode, it brings out the fear/greed/the uncertainty so clearly, it's a problem that they will be facing no matter what timing is it. Haikyuu always do that, there will be more growth that are surprising and realistic and so different in each character, so interesting to watch, I really like the way you all discuss, and I think you guys will like what future Haikyuu brings ! 🏐 ( I had finish the manga, high quality story till the end CONFIRM ! )

The thing is Kageyama is absolutely right on this one. Hinata is not a "good" player we have to remember that he has no prior experience & no formal training. He can't receive. He can't block. All he has is raw athletic capabilities & stamina. He is able to score all those points bc Kageyama is there. Realistically if Hinata is on any other team than Karasuno he won't be a starter player. Kageyama is not telling Hinata to not grow what he is saying is "why level up an already maxed out skill when there are other skills you need to level up?" Basically in gaming terms Hinata has 0 basic attack then maxed out burst. That's also why Hinata feels so strongly about their quick attack needing to evolve bc if he can't score with it then he has no reason to be on the court. He needs it.

Thanks for the video! BTW, I agree with Hinata here too.

I absolutely support Hinata. The entire team is telling “don’t get better, just do things the way you know how even though people at higher levels have ways to stop your only use”. Hinata isn’t just joking around with his desire to be a top player, you can’t get better if you don’t take risks and lets everyone else’s needs go above your own. Thats a lesson Hinata taught me and I’ll always stick beside it

Tension was palpable on this episode , unfortunately , to be successful and really improve as players and as a team, they really have to go through stuff like this … Hinata needs to improve so he can become a better asset to the team, but as long as he can't make the play correctly, Kageyama can't toss the ball to him on real matches. Also the scene where Hinata tries to steal the ball from Asahi was great, you could feel the tension surrounding Karasuno.

about difference with new attack what Hinata want and old attacks they do Hinata cant time his jump and hit with a ball at quick attack because he is not a very good player and Kageyama`s tosses are at insane speed, not a single player before could hit his quick toss. so they created an attack with Hinata`s eyes closed. he just jump and swing at max speed, and Kageyama just put the ball where his hand goes. Its their "freak quick" But Hinata cant control it. It worked earlier, but you cant win against a really good team just with speed. some blockers stopped it anyway, and Oikawa`s team even stopped it without any block at all because Hinata can hit it only in one direction everytime, so libero just wait there. So Hinata want to do the same - maximum speed of his jump + maximum speed of Kageyama`s toss, but with opened eyes so he can control it and attack around the block or libero. Not just because he want to see the moment of attack 🙂 He wants to fight himself, not just to jump. So pov of Kageyama, coach and others is absolutely right for them - it looks impossible for any player to hit that fast toss, especially for Hinata. He is still a bad player, only thing he have is speed and jump.

This quarrel of Kageyama and Hinata is too realistic for me that I tend to tear up when I watch it. You don't like seeing your fave duo or friends squabble like that :( I think everyone has already said it but I do want to emphasize that the ones who advised Hinata were setters: Sugawara, Kageyama and even Coach Ukai. So, they can't completely grasp Hinata's POV as a spiker. I agree with both where Hinata and Kageyama are coming from, but more on Hinata's cause after that defeat with Seijoh and their quicks being blocked, he needs to grow or try something better (as well as the team). Especially when they're gonna face bigger opponents. As for Kageyama's pov, yes Hinata REALLY needs to improve in other areas like serving and receiving. In the earlier eps of Season 1 when Kageyama said that "with him" Hinata and the team can score points, I actually thought what if there comes a time they would go their separate ways or compete with each other. The other will not always be their setter or spiker. All the more Hinata made a point that he needs to grow as a player without always relying on Kageyama's tosses.

They were basically constricting Hinata’s future as a player by not letting him have a say. Because Hinata is not gonna play with Kageyama always.

You guys can search for a videoes of people try to do Hinata/Kageyama's "Freak Quick" and how much they're failed. People get a hard time believes what Hinata said because that shit is actually anime as fuck. Lol.

🔥🔥🔥

I agree with hinata, no one is really wrong here. Hinata wants to evolve and kageyama wants him to improve his other skills.

I will always support Hinata!! 🌞🧡🥰

I love you so much Hinata

Greed. I also call this episode Naruto vs Sasuke.😗🔥
