00:08

hello everyone and welcome to fly a queer Haikyuu podcast. I'm rainbow, they she and I'm em, and today we have made it. Y'all, we did it dude I can't.

em


00:19

We started this in the very beginning of the year. Here we are, halfway through and we're at the end of season one. We're done season one, episode 25, the third day yeah, this is all about processing our emotions, and we will be processing our emotions of ending this season and our boys are processing their loss yes, which you know what.

rainbow


00:39

I kind of love that like. I love that we get an episode that's about a bunch of boys grappling with their emotions and, honestly, you know, those emotions are connected to the loss of a sports game and that's one of the only times boys are allowed to feel things. But you know, we get to see them express it in ways that aren't like harmful to other people or themselves.

em


01:00

Yeah, we see some healthy coping mechanisms.

rainbow


01:02

Absolutely. We get some primal screaming Dude.

em


01:06

I have to go to AO3 right now.

rainbow


01:08

I have to go to AO3 immediately. Let's get into it, yeah, okay. Well, first we do have a little bit of housekeeping.

em


01:14

Yes, tell me how I'm correct.

rainbow


01:18

Fine, we're going to play Mario Kart after this so I can feel better about myself. Oh sure, I put a pull out on the fly podcast twitter. Does Yamaguchi canonically have freckles or acne? Cite your sources, please. Y'all delivered. M was correct. I was wrong. we got a 93.3 percent for freckles and a 6.7 for acne, and I did not use my rainbow reads twitter to vote in this poll because I felt that would be skewing the results did you vote?

em


01:52

I'd actually. I genuinely can't remember if I did. How many votes did we get? Did you? We got 30?

rainbow


01:58

votes total okay, which is pretty good, pretty good. And we got gemerald, taylor, emby and One. All commented. Jim Rold said I feel like it's both. We see him being made fun of for acne when he's young, but in high school I feel like the spots we see in glimpses are always in the same place, which says freckles to me. Taylor, ok, personally, I think it's freckles because he has them even in flashbacks and in the time time skip, which I don't think that's a spoiler. We you know that we see him in the times, yeah,but he could also have acne, since he's a teenager and stuff, but I don't think it's clearly stated. It's one or the other. Mb shared some pictures and said I won't say for sure, it's not both. I will say I think it's mostly freckles. My proof is that he consistently he is consistently drawn with dots in the same place that freckles typically appear. Also, they're consistent from youth through early adulthood and acne is not that precise.

em


02:51

Which we all know.

rainbow


02:52

And then one also shared some pictures. We've got a little baby Yamaguchi, who looks very adorable, and then we've got a teenage Yamaguchi and then we've got a young adult Yamaguchi, and it's mostly concentrated to his cheeks. I feel like it's intended as freckles, but there are pictures where the sweat on his forehead looks like acne adjacent, so I'm not surprised it could be interpreted as such. So I think we should asse that a lot of these boys have acne. Sure, they're teenagers, and I honestly I don't know where I heard or saw that he has acne and not freckles. I think it was one of those things where I was just like, oh yeah, it's, oh, that's a fanon thing that they're freckles. He actually has acne.

em


03:35

Yeah.

rainbow


03:35

But no, and especially looking at the manga panels, it's like, oh no, no, no, that boy has freckles, which is adorable and I love that. Well, that's been settled. Thank you everybody for voting. Yes, thank you all. We love when you participate and I humbly admit that I was incorrect. Thank you, you're welcome.

em


03:54

Let's go play mario kart sure, so you can feel superior I like to be better than people.

rainbow


04:02

No, no, no  okay, so with that out of the way, I don't think we have anything else for housekeeping.

em


04:06

I think we're ready to get into this yeah, let's do it, let's wrap this season up. Will you count me down for my recap? Recap coming down in three, two one.

rainbow


04:15

It's the third day of the inter high tournament and karasuno is back at school. Some players are taking the loss harder than others, but they're all feeling down. The guidance counselor tells Takeda the third year's need to choose between staying in the club or focusing on their futures, but in the end Daichi Suga and Asahi refuse to abandon their team. Kagehina have an angsty screaming session in the gym to let out their frustrations before the whole team shows up to practice towards their next goal or to practice to work towards their next goal. Spring Nationals Fulco.

em


04:50

Ful to work towards their next goal spring nationals. Franco, are we ready to get into this? Yes, we have karasuno, who is, as you said, back to normal school days with different levels of grief. We have some shiny eyes and shakes, and then others are just kind of sitting stoically and some of them are just working on their studies.

rainbow


05:03

I said it's interesting to see who is more focused on their loss and who is able to compartmentalize it. I think we even see, because Asahi and Suga, I think, are in the same class and we see Suga just like diligently working, but we see Asahi kind of like looking out the window and we even I took note that we see Suki being distracted in class, like he's not paying attention.

05:23

He's looking out the window. And then, of course, we have Hinata and Kageyama, who are just like you know. Kageyama is face down on that desk. Everyone knows better than to talk to him.

em


05:33

They're both replaying those last moments in their mind.

rainbow


05:37

Well, because the episode actually starts with like a few clips from throughout the season, and it's not just times when they lost or when Hinata got blocked, but lots of different moments and then we get to see like a crow imagery with Hinata where he's like going for that, that last spike which. I always love when they they impose the crow over Hinata and then we also get to see Ushiwaka-chan facing off. Yes, yes.

em


06:02

I love that little interaction.

rainbow


06:03

Yeah, we get to see which. That is one thing that the dub loses. We do not get an ushiwaka chan from Oikawa he says something like I don't know. He's like are you ready to go like big tough guy or like something ridiculous? And then ushi jima's like stop with the silly nicknames, oh, okay, and also his dub voice sounds different. I think they had a different voice actor for this particular moment than we get to see in season two and season three very possible.

em


06:30

Hinata has lunch with his classmate who, cheerfully, is talking about how yeah, we lost too and that team got to go to nationals, and then he just stands up abruptly. I've never, we've never seen Hinata this emo before yes, I have a note about that.

rainbow


06:43

Like we don't get to see hina to like this, like even when he's like downtrodden, he like still has that like. No, it's okay, I'll, I'll get right back up, but this loss has really affected him, yeah, even more so than when he lost to Kageyama in episode one yeah, no, this is.

em


06:59

This is really hard. I think he I think you know Kageyama really bared the responsibility of that loss. I think that's part of it. Yeah, absolutely. Then we have the second years all together discussing the spring tournament and tanaka says we can't keep thinking about a match we lost, which that's so, tanaka, of him mentally strong mentally strong.

rainbow


07:19

that's right. And then we also have the third years and I are, who are together and talking, and Kiyoko listening on the stairway, yes, which I love. And then we do have. I will say, like the first years are mostly like alone in their pain, like Kagehina are separated for this. We do see Tsukiyama eating lunch together. Tsuki is so cute. Are you ready to eat lunch?

em


07:37

Tsukishima yes, well, so just to talk about the third years, for a second, because Daichi is trying to do the responsible thing. He's like I think we should step back because, after watching the second and first years be so strong, we should really hand the club over to them and let them focus on the future. And then Suga, his wife calls him on that and is like do you really mean that? If you do, I won't argue, but if you still want to play, we should. I'm going to play, no matter what you people do. And then Asahi's like but I already told you, I'm gonna play. If the first and second years didn't want me to play, I don't think I could handle that.

rainbow


08:10

God, they're so cute and then he's so precious yes, and Daichi's like yes, I want to play you know, it's so funny I was thinking about this while I was watching it. But, like when they're being intense on the court, even if it's in a practice match, or even if it's just in practice, there's something about them being in like volleyball gear. That where I'm like, yeah, this intensity works. But seeing them be so intense just in their school uniforms, just in the the school, like in their classrooms or in the stairwell, I was like this is a little much, guys. It's just it's just a club.

em


08:41

they're all acting like someone has passed. It is pretty, especially because, like it's not, like they can't now, like they have the spring tournament, they still have a shot at nationals.

rainbow


08:51

They still get to play more. I think it's, I think part of it is. Maybe they felt they were doing so good and maybe it was like that, like belief, that like we can do this, we can do this, and then to get crushed is really hard.

em


09:12

So then we have. So Hinata has ditched lunch and he's just kind of like tossing to himself and he's reflecting on every little like mess up, every serve he flubbed, whatever that led to, because of course it's his fault alone that they lost. Yes, and then we have Kageyama angrily picking his milk and he's reflecting. He's reflecting on the moment where Oikawa was towering above him and then the moment where he was watching the like Kunimi smile and all the teammates, like all these very emotional points in the game for him.

rainbow


09:34

And I thought it was so interesting that like because you know Oikawa towering above him, that makes sense.

09:38

But I think it's also so poignant that he sees so many of his former teammates like celebrating together and like I wonder if there's some part of him that was like that could never be me with them, like that was never going to be me with them, like that it just didn't work between us and he hasn't really gotten to experience that as much. With Karasuno going back to the third years for just a second I don't know if this is in the sub, but in the dub he like I'm not going to college anyway, so I'm going to stay on. He does say that in the sub too, which I thought was interesting, and I want to touch on that a little bit in the spoiler zone, I think For sure. And then we also get to see Yamaguchi reflecting.

em


10:16

Yep, he's hanging out with Shimada and you know, did you have fun? Which you know he didn't, and Yamaguchi's like no, I didn't. And Shimada's like yeah, you can't control your body, you can't control the ball. Yet Of course, it's not fun, which I have something to say about in the spoiler zone as well.

rainbow


10:33

Okay.

em


10:35

But Shimada says something interesting. That is another like lesson that is taught again and again in Haikyuu where, like he, he wasn't even like a starting member back in his day, but he remembers getting a service ace in and that's when he reflected that like all the hard practice was worth it. Because Yamaguchi says that you know, volleyball was just kind of something he did for fun with friends, but now he wants to match the level and I think you know when you surround yourself with people who are on a higher level, you want to raise, to meet them. So him being the only first year who's not playing or who's not a starter, and then he got his chance and flubbed it.

rainbow


11:08

He's really struggling with that and that just means they gotta practice more, buddy yeah, and this kind of made me want to read like a platonic shamada yamaguchi fic, because they just have such an older brother, younger brother dynamic and like I love that like yamaguchi went to shamada to kind of like debrief  about this and I wonder if they like kept practicing.

11:30

You know, like you know, yamaguchi was all down and stuff. And then I wonder if he like got up and was like okay, I'm gonna keep keep trying, yeah, and we'll, we'll see if that pays off later.

em


11:40

We also have a faculty member who approaches Takeda and wants to talk about the third years, Suga and Daichi. Both are planning on going to college and because normally third years at this point would stop, like Date Tech wasn't going to go to spring tournament, and we have the flashback of this faculty member talking to Suga. He was like I don't see any merit in you continuing volleyball. And Suga turns and says I don't play volleyball for the merit, which I just love. Like I'm not playing volleyball because I'm going to be a professional, I'm playing because I believe in this team, I love this team and I want to see it all the way through to the end yeah, and I have more to say on that.

rainbow


12:16

When we get to the part where Takada is talking to all four of them, we also get to see Ukai and Takanoe, who, I forgot, works at the store with Ukai. That was my question. Does he do that or does he like just? Is he on break from his own job and they just work near each other because they're wearing two different color aprons? But I don't know if it's like Ukai's the manager. Oh, that might be it, though. I think so, because, like that's the. This is the only time I think we see Takinoe like there and he's not doing any work, he's just talking to you, kai. No, they're talking.

12:44

They're talking about how strong Seijoh was and about how, whatever they threw at them, Seijoh was able to think of a strategy and fight back, but that wasn't enough against the brute force that is shiras torozawa yes, well, and they also talk about the fact something we've been talking about for episodes now, which is the Seijoh coaches were really able to take a backseat because Oikawa was there to lead them and because and not you know, we put a lot of that on Oikawa, but it's not just Oikawa, it's because the whole team is able to work together, like under his leadership. Yeah, and so then we get to Oikawa and Shiratoizawa.

em


13:19

Yes, and you can see Oikawa's frustration and he's thinking to himself the one that lets the ball fall on the court loses. Yes, and that's when we have this parallel with Hinata, who is running Because that's, you know, that's what he's thinking. He's like I let the ball fall, we lost because of that. And he's running, and he stops when he passes the gym and hears someone in the gym who could it be?

rainbow


13:41

I wonder who else would it be? Of course, kagehina are both going to the gym, even though practice was canceled. I do have something. So something else in the dub that Oikawa says is, after all, that practice and planning and strategizing, all it's taken is sheer force to tear us apart, and that sheer force is shiratorizawa and specifically ushijima. Yeah and so, and I do, and I'm so glad you brought up the parallel between Hinata and Oikawa, because we see Oikawa's frustrated face at losing and it transitions to Hinata's face and just another kind of like connection between the two of them. Yeah, this, this podcast, is really making me want to write my Seijo Hina to fic.

em


14:18

Yeah. So we have Kage Hina. Now they're together in the gym because, yeah, it was Kageyama in the gym and they start wordlessly passing the ball back and forth. And then we have Takada talking to the third years and he kind of gives them a warning like really think about this, because the hours you put into playing volleyball your classmates will put into towards their futures. And he says and I think this is what's really important is make the decision that you won't regret five years from now, ten years from now, and I think they would regret not seeing this through to the end. That's what they would regret in five to ten years, not if they studied enough.

rainbow


14:48

Yeah well, and if I can take a little anti-capitalist moment for a second, what takata, like what he says in the dub, is like the time that you're going to be spent spending on volleyball is time your classmates are spending studying for entrance exams and preparing for the workforce. And it's just this idea that, like, our whole lives are geared towards. You have to get a job and you have to work and you have to labor under capitalism to make money for rich people and like that's what school is for. School is not necessarily about educating people. You know, because of the pursuit of knowledge, it's. We have to prepare you to work, you have to, you know. You prepare at each level so you can move up to the next level, so you can go to college, so you can get a good job and you can make as much money as you need to live, but to make sure that you're doing something that is going to, you know, benefit our capitalist overlords yep, and they said you know what fuck?

15:41

you were playing volleyball and I fucking love that that was and I know that's probably not what ferudate was doing in any way, but I love that I'm able to take that message from it, that like no actually person. You know, we can talk about it a little bit in the spoiler zone, a little bit more about that but like pursuing, even if it's not going to lead to a career or a bunch of money later on, but pursuing something because of what Suga said, because it's meaningful to you, is so important and it's really beautiful, and I love that the third years make that choice. Yes, so then we go back to Kagehina.

em


16:12

I just I love everything about this scene. So Hinata flubs one of the receives and Kageyama, very quietly, is just like you know your back's too high. And then they're just so like, they're so grieving together and Hinata is like the final should be wrapping up by now. And Kageyama's like yeah, and he's like whoever wins gets to go to nationals. And he's like yeah, and then Hinata screams like damn it and starts just like acting insane, like running around. He I love when he jumps up onto the like hand railings, it's just like kicking and he's just letting it out and you see Kageyama being affected by it. He kind of like looks away and gets emotional and then he screams and he starts just like banging balls into the wall and then it's just, it's just them running and screaming and just like letting it all out together and a very healthy coping mechanism yeah, I said, we see Hinata is emotional and he's helping Kageyama release his up, his pent-up emotions, and we know that that's something Kageyama does.

rainbow


17:09

Kageyama holds things inside and does not let them go and he releases them in anger. But usually that anger gets directed towards other people and in this case it's just the two of them just spewing their anger and their sorrow and their grief just into the void and like getting kind of to getting to do that together. And then by the end of it we can see that like this. You know, I think what happened here with Hinata specifically is like in the past. Hinata, it's like when he fails, he immediately is ready to get back up and keep trying. And I think maybe there's like a small moment of grief for him in those moments where it's just like, oh, I failed, but I gotta keep going, and like he's never, maybe he hasn't had to experience this extended grief before, but together they're able to process that grief.

17:53

And then I love, we get to see so that you know they're running around and they're screaming, and then it cuts to. We see Hinata, we see him. It's. He's upside down, yeah, and he's like laying on the floor with his ass out in the air. Just so ridiculous. And what we're seeing is Kageyama's perspective, because Kageyama somehow has ended up turned over like rolled backwards with like his, like he's his back is up against the wall, his head on the floor, legs in the air.

em


18:18

They're both ass up.

rainbow


18:20

Yeah, it's like really ridiculous. But it's very clear that, like kagam and I love that we get to see Hinata framed from kagama's perspective I think that's very interesting. And then, at least in the dub, he says I'm never going to say I'm sorry again and I won't make a set. I regret not ever, and I want to talk about that moment. Okay, how different is that from what in the sub? He?

em


18:41

just says I won't apologize anymore. I won't give a toss I have to apologize for.

rainbow


18:47

And Hinata doesn't look impressed by this statement no, and I think that's very interesting, the difference and that kind of takes away some of my idea, of my theory here, because for me that I'm never going to say I'm sorry again and I won't make a set I regret, not ever to me, I don't know that makes it feel like I don't know. Does he regret giving that ball to Hinata? Like I don't know if he actually regrets setting to Hinata in that moment no, and I don't think he does.

em


19:13

I think it's more the toss that he blames, not that it was too Hinata, but like just it wasn't a good enough move, or they read his toss. I think that's more what his problem is and I think that's maybe why Hinata still didn't love that, because he's still like taking Hinata out of the equation with that statement. It's just all on Tobio.

rainbow


19:32

I think I see what you're saying is that like and again this is part of Hinata being the main characters we get a lot more of Hinata's like internal thoughts and feelings and we don't get as much of a focus on Kageyama.

19:43

We do a little bit more, I guess, in this episode but, like you said, like they're both blaming themselves, but they're not blaming themselves as a duo, they're not like a we fucked up. It's they're each individually saying I fucked up. And I think you know, at the end of the day and at the end of the day, neither of them fucked up. They did the best that they could. They just need to to train more. They need more practice and I think this is where this is kind of, where that they get renewed strength. They get renewed not confidence, but like they're like ready that this kind of transitions from like grieving to like okay, we're ready to start training again. And they say they sharea line that links back to the first episode only the strong stay on the court, yep, and Hinata kind of says like there, there's no time to stop, basically like they've kind of gone through.

em


20:29

Okay, we had our tantr, we got it out, and now we have to keep going. And then this is when Kiyoko shows up and it's like but you have to finish your lunch first I love her so much.

rainbow


20:38

She's such a good manager also stop yelling.

em


20:41

I can hear you guys from the outside. Also a little fan. I can't remember if I definitely had inspiration from this moment where I wanted to write about like fanfic of them processing losses like this from here on out for the rest of their high school. Like whenever they lose in the future they have like a little unspoken meeting in the gym to get their frustrations out, and maybe in third year, I don't know, I have to go to ao3 right now, but anyway, so, yeah, so. And then the second years appear, because also, we didn't mention Ukai gave them today because this is literally the day after right, and he gave them, they canceled morning and afternoon practice to kind of let them grieve their loss. But you know, they're all showing up to the gym. Sukiyama shows up to the gym, which I think is interesting, yes, and then the second years are like well, are the third years coming? Like are they going to stay? And I don't think that that option of them not staying even occurred to Hinata until this moment.

rainbow


21:35

Yes, and he was like they're staying right and Kiyoko just lets the dramatic entrance speak for itself as the third years come, and she's like yeah, we're staying and we do have an annoying moment where Tanaka and Noya are like running at Kiyoko with their love and she has to like duck and it's very, it's very slapstick, it's very loony tunes it's like I, I guess it's like one of those things I hate when they do this.

22:00

I hate when they rely on, like, the harassment of Kiyoko to be For a laugh yeah, for a laugh, like it's the comic relief which is like annoying and it's like so she had this like moment where she got to be like not necessarily an inspiration for Kagehina, but she had got to have that moment with them. And then it is immediately followed by two boys running at her and she has to duck yeah, out of the way. No, we could all live without that. Yeah, yeah, we all could. In a perfect world, that wouldn't exist.but yeah, then the whole team is there, the third years are there, and they're like, yeah, we're here, we're here to play, and then we see them start practicing.

em


22:35

Yeah, just on their own Yep and Ukai is walking by because, they're all the same. They can't help themselves and he's surprised for some reason to see them all there and they have practice as normal and even Takada shows up at the end.

rainbow


22:50

I had a thought this is the first time this thought has come up for me. I can't believe it's taken the entire first season for me to think about this and maybe you have some insight but like I wonder how they record like the sounds of, like the volleyball court, cause like the sounds are very like, they're very legit, like they sound real, like the ball hitting the court, the squeaking of the sneakers, like I'm very curious about like how those like cause what is that? Foley, foley, yeah.

em


23:20

Like how, I wonder how like that foley foley is. So it's such a fascinating. I would have loved to actually I would have been happy to be a foley artist. And for those of you who don't know, that's when, like, people go into a studio and make those sound effects and it's it. They like. That's the creative part of filmmaking that I love, because sometimes it's not what you expect. Like they'll find creative ways to make different noises or like it could be stock audio maybe, but yeah, that could be.

rainbow


23:43

I do want to say small tangent. But the  actor I can't remember his name, but the voice actor for Aang from Avatar the Last Airbender, he is a Foley artist. Now he didn't he didn't like really I think he would like, wasn't super into voice acting but he was still interested in film so he does, fully nice work now, very cool, yeah. So I just had that thought. I was like, wow, I can't believe. This is the first time. I'm thinking about the fact that, like you know, this is an animated show. These noises aren't happening like they. Those don't, those noises don't happen when they draw them. So, yeah, I wonder what that foley work is like, or like, even like, if it's not, if it is, like you know, pre-recorded sounds like, how do they record those? Like I, can you put a microphone against a squeaking shoe and does that translate? Yeah, okay.

em


24:28

Or like it might not literally be a squeaking shoe, it could be something that like they the way that they find, like I've seen, like clips of foley artists before and they'll do something totally random to make a sound that sounds like what it's supposed to. So, yeah, no, it's. That's. That's what my, that's why I love filmmaking.

rainbow


24:43

It's so creative. If you are interested in this kind of stuff, I do recommend the Braving the Elements podcast, where they interview that actor who plays Aang, whose name I could easily look up, but you can also look it up but, because he talks about, like, his foley work and I think it's very interesting as well.

24:59

So if you're interested in it, go find that episode. It's super cool, okay? So going back into the episode, they're all at practice, you guys there. And I think, because he mentions, like I'm sure you're all curious about who won the finals, the inter high finals, yes, and so this is where the team learns that Seijoh lost to shiratorizawa and they're all like pissed about it. They're like up there. I think that upsets them even more. Yeah, because I think it's worse when the team who beat you also loses yes, this is what I was trying.

em


25:28

I tried to say this in the last episode and could not get a coherent thought out. But yes, it's almost more frustrating when the team who beat you that goes on to then lose because now, and as you guys, says like Seijoh isn't even the strongest team. There are very there's teams stronger than Seijoh in our own prefecture. So we've got work to do yes.

rainbow


25:45

Spring nationals is their new goal, and we will spend two and a half seasons building up to that yeah, absolutely.

em


25:51

He calls on to Daichi. He's like all right, captain, speak to them. And he was like nationals is a stage we've only been to once before, but we're gonna go there again. Yes, bitch. And then we have I love this moment and it's such a great way to end the first season with this kage hina ass moment. So they're taking a break and Hinata goes out to the steps and takes a swig of water. Kageyama just silently joins him and Hinata's looking at him the way I.

rainbow


26:17

We have to pause and talk about the way Hinata is looking at him just like watching him. He's watching him. It's just like the look in his face, though that's like one of those moments where like I think I've done this on twitter if like, if not soulmates, why are they always looking at each other so lovingly?

26:32

and that's a screenshot that I share for that yeah which I think I already created the episode graphic for this one, but I think I'm gonna have to go back and make sure it's that picture.because that is just such a quintessential Kagehina screenshot of just Hinata looking like almost like like he admires Kageyama yeah, which is like he does, despite, he does Absolutely. And then do they exchange any words?

em


26:58

Yeah, so and this moment is talked about more in the dub for obvious reasons. But he gets up and he's like we're going to win next time. You and me Pause and our team. It's very recce. My love for skateboarding, exactly. And then in the dub and listen, the dub is not what they're actually saying. So you know it's not like the canon or whatever. But everyone loves you guys, says hey, lovebirds breaks over, which they do not say in the sub. But that's a great addition. I love when the dub makes it more gay, which the dub loves to do, that it really acknowledges the gay, which thank you.

rainbow


27:34

Yes, which it is honestly like insane lovebirds that they did that like break time's over.

em


27:41

lovebirds like but you know what, even if they didn't make that choice in the dub, what follows after is so fucking loving, because they're like, yeah, and they start to go in and Kageyama looks back at Hinata and gives him our first real, genuine Kageyama smile that we get. And it's so quick because the way they do it, the way they cut it, like you know, he just looks back kind of quickly but he has that smile and then you see Hinata, who sees it and smiles back at him and they run into the gym together and it's just like this, like it's just a quick little look, but it just shows, like you know, Kageyama has been so rough with Hinata this whole time and I feel like this is our first time that we get Kageyama really like he loves Hinata, whether you ship it or not like they are partners. They are in this together. They have a shared goal, a shared promise and they are going forth together I have to go to ao3 right now.

28:32

We have to go to ao3 right now if we ever sold merch I have to go to ao3 right now would be. The first is that does that come from somewhere? Did you just say that? Is that like a? That's just no, that's just. That's my, that's my sign of like.

rainbow


28:43

I need to read about them kissing okay yes, all right, if we ever do make merch, that will be the first piece. Yeah, I, yeah, I'm obsessed with that moment and I I think that like I always kind of forget about this last episode and this little wrap up, but again it's, it's so funny, like the episodes I kind of forget about art tend to be the ones that have some of the most like intensely gay well, there's just so much stuff that you can't keep track of it all in your head of like, oh yeah, this is when this amazing moment happens, because there's amazing moments in every fucking episode.

29:13

Yeah we just can't help it. Yeah, so anyway, the lovebirds go back to practice.

em


29:17

They're ready and with that we have the end of season one we did it, y y'all. We did it 25 episodes, Damn. Look at us. Do you guys want to kiss?

rainbow


29:27

We'll kiss all of our listeners right now. Should we all go to AO3 right now and kiss?

em


29:32

And kiss Someone. Make the Fly Haikyuu podcast fan fiction please. Oh, my god, I would love that I don't think I've ever heard of a fan fiction based off a podcast before.

rainbow


29:50

I'm sure it exists.

em


29:51

Let's go through the, the fandom.

rainbow


29:51

I, the very I'm thinking like blank check probably has some fanfic about the hosts.yeah, okay, so that's the end and, as per tradition, I want to talk a little bit about. I'm going to focus on the opening for this one, because we talked about the ending theme. Yes, the ending theme, yeah, for in last episode.because I realized that the ending for this episode it's the same song, it's also the same animation we see at the end of season 13, which is just kind of like a little recap. Episode 13, episode 13 did.

em


30:17

I say season didn't mean that.

rainbow


30:20

Yeah, I wish there were 13 seasons. Oh my, there needs to be. I would watch, 40 seasons of Haikyuu. I would see I would watch haikyuu in space. Couldn't you imagine haikyuu x let the body sit the floor. I'm not really going to talk about the ending animation and lyrics, because we already talked about them. Listen to episode 24 if you want to hear about that. But I do want to talk about the opening animation, and I was very careful to not read them this time. I really appreciate that they aren't nearly as gay.

em


30:49

I will say it's.

rainbow


30:50

We don't have any of the like. I yearn for something and its name is you, or whatever that fucking line was, jesus Christ. It's because Kagama is, more of a pathetic gay than Hinata. I've decided.

31:04

Well yeah, okay. So the opening animation, it's very much focused on the tournament. It starts with Kageyama, like together, and then kind of expands to the whole team. That's very much a theme in a lot of these opening and endings, or especially the openings, is we see Hinata alone and then Kageyama, and then the rest of the team comes together, because it's not just Hinata with Kageyama, with Karasuno, it's Hinata with Kageyama and then the two of them with Karasuno because they're married.

31:32

I have to go to AO3 right now, . And then we get to see their rivals, you know. We get to see Iwaoi, we get to see Aoni and Futakuchi, we get to see Daichi's ex-boyfriend, whose name I've already forgotten, sorry bro. We also see Hinata, you know, in a game, at the peak of his jump, and as soon as he hits the ball he opens his eyes. We also. We kind of end with him reaching towards the sun, trying to grab it in his fist, and then that fist transitions to like he's holding it over his heart, like he's clutching at his heart, clearly yearning. And then Kageyama is right there next to him and, like, says something to him and we don't get to hear, we don't get to know what he says but it's probably something like come on bokeh or something like that, and then Hinata smiles and then we, it kind of expands again and it's all of karasuno walking onto the court.

32:18

Even narita and Kinoshita are there, which I made sure to check. Which pause for just a second. We noticed so on the DVD title screen for the season one DVDs. It has, like that, an image of, like, all of the players. It has all of the team members, it has Kiyoko, it has Takada and Ukai, guess, who's not there, guess, who's not there and could easily be there. Justice for Narita and Kinoshita, who who is that? Yeah, it's like they literally are just there, so that karasuno has 12, 12 you know, there's someone out there who claims that those are their favorite characters you know what they could be and you know I'm not a psychologist so I can't decide what that means about you, but it's there's just.

33:01

We just get so little from them, narita especially. Yeah, anyway, justice for the two of them. Anyway, we end with Hinata jumping to spike the ball and the ball turns into the sun and so it's like he's reaching for the sun, because that's, I think that's very common imagery in japan and especially very common imagery with haikyuu. And then I I just kind of grabbed, like all of the lyrics first. So on the Haikyuu wiki, when it goes when it comes to the themes, it has the lyrics that are it's called the tv-sized lyrics, which is just the lyrics we see in the opening, and then the full lyrics. But I wanted to look at just the lyrics we see for the opening.

33:38

So I take two deep breaths, bringing my heart down to the ground, and with a single step of my left foot, I release this pause. I brush my nervousness away and try to tame the slightest bit of concentration, all for the purpose of dispelling the demon that roars deep in my heart. Fate and happenstance, the answers I'm seeking, begin to blend together and a sign is given Ah, yeah, again and again, no matter if my breath threatens to give out time I fall, I'll crawl my way back up, reaching for the top. Oh yeah, as I press the palm of my hand to my chest, I can certainly feel it. This is the proof that I'm here. Everyone out there, let the sound of your heart ring loud. Which that got a little gay. It's got his. I'm here.

em


34:18

So like we're talking about volleyball people yeah well, are we?

rainbow


34:23

though? We're just talking about volleyball. Also, the name of this song is oh yeah. Oh yeah, I don't think it's like that.hang on, I do want to find the. it's performed by sukima switch. Oh yeah, and it is the second opening theme for the first season of haikyuu, and we love it all. Right,so we're moving on to the character spotlight, and today we're going to do something a little bit different.we didn't want to spotlight a single character because we didn't do that in the first episode, and I think I kind of want to stick with that. First and last episodes, no character spotlight. Maybe we focus on something else. Okay, this time we're going to do a team spotlight and we're going to talk about Karasuno.

em


35:04

Which is very fitting, because this last episode really was about Karasuno as a team. Yeah, so let's hear what you got for us.

rainbow


35:10

So I have a few questions that we can answer, but first I wanted to pull a quote from the wiki that I thought was interesting and that I feel like very appropriately ss up Karasuno's play style. So quote Karasuno's strongest attribute is its offensive power, with a heavy focus on attacks such as the quick strike pipeline and synchronized attacks using tempo. It also utilizes uncommon techniques to throw off opponents. Yes, yeah, and I want to talk about, like, how much of that do we see now and how much of do you think of that do you think we still have yet to see?

em


35:42

I mean, I think we see you think of that. Do you think we still have yet to see? I mean, I think we see a lot of that already, like that's kind of been established as their play style. It's very heavy on offense. Yes, the synchronized attacks they'll work on more like they. You know they're. They've got the brute force part down. Yes, they just have to kind of hone the stylistic stuff, yeah.

rainbow


36:03

So the three kind of questions I have is where did they start, where are they now and what ways do they still need to grow?

em


36:08

should we go by years, like third year, second years, first years, and break it down like that yeah, let's do that.

rainbow


36:13

So the third years where do they start at the beginning of this season?

em


36:16

in the beginning of the season, Suga and Daichi, especially like they're kind of the only strong parts of karasuno in the beginning. They kind of come in and we'll get more of this in the future, I would argue tanaka as well. But as far as the third years go, they're, they're the two strongest yes, but like they're still in this era of the flightless crows, because it's just them for now. They need more strong players and now, at the end, I think we have really great lead, like they're foundational building blocks of their team.

rainbow


36:46

Yes, and it's insane to me that Daichi would think that they should stop playing.

em


36:52

Daichi is very eldest child, coded for sure Because I think he's really trying to do the right thing. He's trying to do the best thing for Karasuno and not just be making a selfish decision of what he wants to do. But I think that there's nothing wrong with the third year staying and like just there. It's too bad that they have such a short amount of time because as a team as they are now, it's so good.

rainbow


37:12

Yeah, I mean to be fair. If the third years had left, maybe we would see more of Narita and Kinoshita. But you know what?

em


37:19

That's fine.

rainbow


37:20

Yeah, I don't need them nobut I will say, like I think you know, Daichi's trying to do what's best for the team and I don't think he realizes that, like they need his leadership, they need his receiving, they need his skills, like they, they do need him. That is what's best for Karasuno. Like I think we wouldn't get as much as we do if the third, if the third years had left even Suga who's not you, you know a starting player, but he still has so much strength as a setter, exactly, and then Asahi, who's a very powerful left, yes, yeah.

37:52

And let's talk about Asahi, because he is a little unique, because at first, like we don't see him until like what? Episode four.

em


38:02

Yeah, he was done.

rainbow


38:04

He was gonna gonna. After his breakup with noia he was done, yeah, absolutely. And then this one we see, like he already told. So he was like I told you I'm gonna stay like I, I want to continue playing on this team and I want the the first and second years to want me to stay yes, and I think that goes back to how, in the very beginning, they were the only really strong things about the teams, because everything relied so heavily on Asahi.

em


38:21

Yes, yes, so he kind of fell apart, but now he's got a bunch of insane first years and his second years to back him up too.

rainbow


38:28

Yeah, he has teammates he can rely on. Yeah, I love that for them. Okay, second years.

em


38:33

Second years. Well, nishinoya started with a breakup and we got him back, yes, but he's a pretty like solid character, like he was strong in the beginning and he's strong now and again, like just having more with the first years to kind of beef it up, because he was probably.

rainbow


38:49

I mean, he's the main genius until Kageyama comes along and he didn't have the same kind of growing to do that Kageyama did. I would say, of all of the starting players on Karasuno, we see the least amount of growth from Noya and Tsukishima, and I think it's in the second and third seasons where we really get to see them growing as players a little bit more. For sure, yeah, definitely so. With noya, yeah, he, he, he starts off like he's strong but like he refuses to play if Asahi isn't going to play too. And now you know he's just ready to go and he's the coolest character in the show and he's the best senpai.

em


39:26

So well, don't let Tanaka hear you say that, because I was just about to get into how Tanaka's really his growth was kind of stepping into that senpai role because he was really more just like the kohai who looked up to Daichi and Suga and Asahi and now he is really stepping into this role where he supports his his first years and he does, and he does a really good job of it, especially, I think, with kage hina, because you know they have that connection from him helping them in the beginning yes yeah, and then we don't really need to talk about the npcs, because what growth do they have?

39:56

nothing. We get some moments with an oshita.

rainbow


39:59

Yeah, that's really it, but no, no growth or anything. We, we don't really. We learned a little bit about him. We learned about, like you know, I think, because he talks about how he stopped playing for a little bit.

em


40:08

Yeah, right, yeah.

rainbow


40:09

We get like the full story of that later. Yeah, I think, and then first years.

em


40:15

Well, obviously, kagehina started off as just like these rivals, who were more focused on beating each other and couldn't be in the same room without arguing and that's still true, yes, but they've become so much more than anybody ever predicted. They are the cornerstone of their offense and they have a lot of work left to do, but they have enough raw, unbridled talent to.

rainbow


40:39

It's gonna be exciting to see, and I think, for kage hina specifically, I think we see them go from strictly rivals and almost enemies to allies and friends and partners. I think that's the importance of that last final scene, with Kageyama looking and smiling and Hinata smiling back, is like you know, and and them sharing that grieving moment together, them sharing this loss and this responsibility. They feel it's brought them together in a way that I don't think either of them could have imagined at the beginning, back when Suga was saying like if he used to be your greatest enemy, now he's your greatest ally, like it's just gone so much farther than that and it's just really beautiful and I love it and I love them. Kagehina forever.

em


41:24

And then with Tsukiyama we don't have too much growth from them yet. I think more so with Yamaguchi. If anything, we see him really trying and we'll see that payoff in dividends in future seasons. Tsuki has had like zero growth.

rainbow


41:39

Tsuki really like at the beginning, when he was like antagonizing Kagehina, he definitely had more of a role. But he's very background during the Seijo game. Like we we see a little bit with. Like he's so much, like so much of what happens with him in this season is in service to other characters, story and development. Like it's very much about like antagonizing Kageyama and even where we get to see a little bit more of him in the Seijo game, it's about Kageyama learning to communicate with him and learning what he needs. It's not about suki's own growth and so we get to see that later their time will really come.

42:14

Season two and three yeah, season two or three. We're very excited about it. Oh, very excited, yeah. And so, as a team, in what ways does karasuno need to grow?

em


42:25

just like as I've kept saying is just like honing the skills because they're all very strong in their own way and like, especially in the beginning, they were like we have a lot of strong individuals, but we're awkward as a team. I think they've definitely come together a lot more from Seijoh because they put up such a big fight, but they still have. There's just more to learn and that's just going to come with practicing as a team and going up against other teams yeah, and we're.

rainbow


42:49

I mean, everybody knows what's coming in season. If you've already seen Haikyuu, you know what we're about to get into at the beginning of season two and it's very exciting. I think we're all super stoked about it,so, yeah, is there anything else we want to say about karasuno in season one? They're my favorite team. Yeah, yeah, I love them. I have a lot of love for a lot of different teams, but if I had to pick what you know, if somebody was like okay, you can be a manager for any of the teams, I would pick karasuno. Obviously I will, not just because I would get to hang out with Kiyoko but yeah, all right, cool.

em


43:26

Are we ready to move on? It's time for the world's favorite game. Who in haikyuu? This week's scenario is brought to us by sage. Who would pay for premium subscriptions? By the way, when I first started to read this, the situation is who would pay for premium subscriptions to apps like twitter, snapchat, etc. But the way I thought this was about to say who would pay for premium subscriptions to like OnlyFans or like a porn, I was like where are we going with this?

rainbow


43:48

I mean we could do that too. I think originally, when Sage asked, like suggested this, it was just who would pay for like a? Who would pay for like X premium For that fucking stupid blue checkmark or whatever? Oh, my, yeah, go, yeah, yeah for that. Who would give money to elon musk so that he can feel like he has control? Yeah,yeah. But. But I decided, you know, and sometimes with the who and Haikyuu scenarios, if they are a little bit too narrow,we tend to stay away from those,just because it doesn't necessarily give us as much meat to talk about. And so I told sage I was like I think I might open it up a little bit, because I don't necessarily give us as much meat to talk about. And so I told Sage I was like I think I might open it up a little bit, because I think that different characters would pay for different apps.

em


44:31

And we didn't list out any characters. Are we just going to kind of talk about Karasuno?

rainbow


44:35

That's kind of what I was thinking.

em


44:36

So Tanaka is paying for Snapchat premium? Yes, and I don't even know what Snapchat premium gives you, but I just know. I don't even know what snapchat premium gives you.

rainbow


44:46

But I just know he. He just seems like a snapchat guy. He also is definitely subscribed to openly fans.  oh my, he's definitely looking up like quiet, shy, black haired, blue-eyed girl with glasses yeah, him and Nishinoya, both yeah okay, yeah, I have. I have no idea what snapchat premium entails. I know they're always trying to sell it to me and I wish that they fucking wouldn't, because why would I pay for Snapchat so I can reset my streak, I guess.

em


45:11

Yeah, it's like really db things Like you could probably do more with, like I literally have no idea. I don't know. It's hard for me to see Kageyama has no social media.

rainbow


45:23

So he social media, so you're not paying for premium subscriptions. Well, Kageyama is maybe paying for like, like an app where he can watch sports on his phone. That's for sure. That's what he's paying for Hinata.

em


45:30

I don't know do you think he knows his pain?

rainbow


45:32

he doesn't really give me a social media vibe either no, I think like I have had cannons about some time skip stuff with him and like instagram that we won't get into but, like I don't think, yeah, I don't see him like really doing much. I could see him paying. I don't know, yeah, I don't think he's paying for a lot other first years. Tsukishima Yamaguchi.

em


45:53

I can't decide if Tsuki would be an Elon bro or not.

rainbow


45:57

I hesitate to make anyone on cross known Elon bro. I just I think, I don't know. I want Tsukishima to be smarter than that and to see through the bullshit.

46:09

Yeah, I don't see him being like. I don't see him being like an NFT guy. Yeah, you know, maybe that's just projection. Yeah, I don't know, I don't think he'd pay, I don't think he'd care about getting the blue check mark because, like, the whole thing with that is, like you know, that used to be like verified, like we. Like you're such a famous person that, like other people are making fake accounts about you, and so we want to like just pay for it.

46:29

Yeah, now you just pay for it. Now you like anyone can just do it, just for it. Just, it completely dismantles the verification. Yeah, system anyway. Can you tell how much we hate x twitter forever? Yeah does meta have any kind of like facebook and instagram.

em


46:46

I love that you called it meta.

rainbow


46:47

I was like what, yeah, what even is that?

em


46:50

yeah, I don't know if they have like a premium.

rainbow


46:52

I don't think they do well, you know, they're making so much money by selling information, -h, they probably don't need to get money from us. I'm trying to think of who would have patreons as well, like who would subscribe to patreons. That's another thing I thought about here, because I could see Tanaka and Noya. I could see them being Patreon people. I could see Tsukishimalike maybe he follows like some sort of like muse or like dinosaur accounts or something or he listens to like a dinosaur podcast and like pays for this premium, like the Patreon subscription to get bonus episodes.

47:24

 which that'll be us one day,  yamaguchi maybe he pays for youtube red or whatever youtube tv or something. Yeah, youtube premium, something like that. Yeah, I could see that. Okay, I don't know about the npcs. they can be elon bros I'm not.

em


47:41

Yeah, yeah, we'll give them enough. Yeah, exactly, yeah, we have to start making horrible headcanons with these poor boys.

rainbow


47:47

Oh my god, that would be. That would actually be fun, like I'll ingest, because I don't actually think they're terrible, but we'll do that for season two. Yeah, we already talked about Noya. I don't think he'd pay for premium on anything else, noya is definitely not.

em


48:04

Noya is the most chronically offline person you've ever met.

rainbow


48:07

Yeah, fully agree, fully agree, fully agree. Okay, third years, Kiyoko. I don't see her doing any of that kind of stuff. She doesn't need it. No, she gets followers without wanting them. Yeah, she's private actually. So, nobody can follow her I don't see Suga Asahi or Daichi doing that either and her I don't see Suga Asahi or Daichi doing that either. And yeah, Ukai doesn't even know the internet exists. He's not even that old. He's like definitely old enough where, like he knows about the internet.

48:36

But I just like to pretend like porn hub oh well, yeah, definitely he's, he's looking, he's looking up a black haired glasses twink gets destroyed by. Yeah, absolutely, . And then you know, I said we were only going to do karasuno, but you know, opening this up, do you think any of the other players we've come into contact with would pay for like x premium or?

em


49:02

maybe like Oikawa, because he wants to seem official, I could see.

rainbow


49:06

I, yeah, yeah, I could see like Ushijima actually being verified and then HOikawa paying for the verification. Yes, Kindaichi, I could see Kindaichi maybe being a little bit of an Elon bro, for sure, Futakuchi. No, I was going to say maybe Futakuchi, but I don't think so. No, there's maybe some characters in season two. I could see Kenma has the YouTube one. Yeah, Kenma has. Yeah, Kenma definitely has YouTube. I could see Kuro paying for, not x premium, but like certain, snapchat, snapchat yeah, Kuroo's a Snapchat guy yeah, yeah, definitely for sure.

49:39

Thank you, sage. We appreciate it. I know you gave us the scenario suggestion a long time ago and I'm sorry we're just getting to it we're here now, baby. We're here now, so we appreciate that. Everybody again, continue to send in who and haikyuu suggestions, if you have them.

This has been a passion project of mine since I started watching Haikyuu, and the fact that we have been able to do it and that it's been you know, I hate the term successful, but you know the fact that we've been able to build some form of community around it is really meaningful to me and I really appreciate every single one of you. Thank you so much for sticking with us. You know, even if you bounced around, if you didn't listen to every single episode, it doesn't matter. We're glad that you're here.

So thank you for joining us. Yeah, absolutely, you make it all worth it. We're looking forward to season two, three and four absolutely.

And the movie and the ova, yes, everything, every piece of hockey content all right.

em


51:38

Well, one last time for season one. What do we have for the spoiler zone?

rainbow


51:41

we're going to the pool, we're going to the pool. All right,do you remember the thing that you had wanted to talk about in this?

em


51:48

so I just wanted to say the note, the  notion that shimada gives yamaguchi about, like well, it's not fun because you're not good at it.

rainbow


51:55

This is echoed to Tsukishima in season two by Kuroo and Bokuto and it's like oh, you don't think it's that fun, isn't it because you suck yes, well, and I said I kind of made a note in it earlier, but it definitely belongs in the spoiler zone that you know when Shimada is talking about that service ace like that is his like fall in love with volleyball moment that we learn about in season two that like continually gets brought up, where, like, everybody has a moment, we get to see Tsukishima have that moment actually before Hinata even has his moment.

52:26

We get to see Tsukishima have that moment. Actually before Hinata even has his moment, we get to see Tsukishima have his like this is it. I love volleyball. Oh, Tsukishima's arc. I can't wait. We're gonna talk about it a lot in season two and in season three. Very excited, don't worry, Tsukishima fans, we got youand then kind of like connected to the Shimada Yamaguchi thing, I kind of made that comment, like they have an older brother, younger brother thing. And then we have Tsukishima who has an actual older brother who he ends up going to to help him train and help him learn. What else do you have but pride? I had to hold myself back from saying that earlier.

em


53:03

Oh my god, I was like that's technically a spoiler. Yeah.

rainbow


53:05

I have one other thing, which is Daichi mentions that Karasuno has only been to nationals once, but they go all three years. With these first years, Kageyama, Hinata, Tsukishima and Yamaguchi go to nationals three years in a row and I don't remember if they mention anything in the manga about Karasuno going to nationals again. I think that kind of isn't really relevant to the story. But I like to nationals again. I think that kind of isn't really relevant to the story, but I like to think that under Takeda and Ukai, who we know continue to be the coaches for several years.

53:33

I like to think they keep doing it until, like grandpa Ukai, they just simply can't anymore yeah,and I like to think that they continue to bring teams to nationals pretty regularly yeah, I think about that too, where it's like they definitely get very.

em


53:46

they're a powerhouse school for a while and I wonder how long that legacy goes on after our first year's leave.

rainbow


53:53

When I wonder if like? Because you know, right now it's Shir, Torizawa and Seijo that are like the powerhouse schools and date tech to a certain extent, and Furudate just built such a wonderful world that like I am so curious about. Like what happens in the future, Like do they lose those powerhouse statuses and like what schools take that like I could see Jozenji like growing to the point where they become a powerhouse school under Anabara well, in my very far in the future time, skip fantasies.

em


54:20

I like to think that Kagehina come back to coach schools and maybe Karasuno has fallen once again or something and they have to bring it back yeah, my headcanon is always that Hinata ends up coaching Karasuno and Kageyama coaches Shiratorizawa.

rainbow


54:35

No, that's you. You say Shiratorizawa, which I understand where that comes from, but I like to think that he ends up coaching Seijo.

em


54:40

I think like he's able to heal.

rainbow


54:42

And maybe Kendaiichi is his like assistant coach or vice versa, something like that is his like assistant coach or vice versa, something like that. All right, well, that's it, folks. We've got a bonus episode next week about ships and then we'll jump right into season two after that.  again, thank you so much for listening. This has been wonderful and we're gonna keep on going that's wrap on season one.

55:01

Folks, until season two, fly high.
