Episode 9 subs out soon.
New coach VA this week.
>>150456211
the previous one died?
>>150456318
Yes
>>150456339
Japanese cold? Truck?
>>150456402
Sudden brain hemorrhage
Almost time for more Tsukki vs Freakshow.
did the match finished this chapter or it ends next week?
>>150456746
Probably cliffhanger end to this episode then finish next right at the start
>>150456491
Fuck, just found out.
Thought you were making some kinda suck joke, but goddamn.
>>150456491
o-ok
fug
never thought he could die, even if you killed him
>coach's last words
>>150457561
its out brehs
>>150457561
>he was so pumped up that's it's what caused his brain to snap
he died for the cause
wait what the fuck
how old was this guy
キターーー(゜∀゜)ーーーー!!!!!
>>150457561
;_;7
They should have picked a younger sounding VA, not only is the transition worse - the VA just doesn't fit the character.
>>150458649
Yeah he sounds way too old now, it's a bit shit.
>>150456211
STILL NO FUCKING SEASON 3 SOUNDTRACK
>based Kuroo schooling Tsukki on read blocking
>Nishinoya double-receiving
I can forgive the new VA (he's 5 years older than Tanaka was) sounding older. Goddamn this was a good episode.
>still on namek
god damn it
>>150459133
Next episode is last episode, numbnuts. Fuck off with your 'Namek' meme.
they should have ended the match this chapter
>>150459182
It will literally end30 seconds into next week
>>150459182
If they want, the match can end before the OP next week.
>no tribute anything to based Coach
RIP Tanaka-san. /a/ will render tribute to you.
who fucking cares about the coach dying jesus christ that's all anyone is talking about
>>150456402
I can't stop laughing
>Being this mad about being born a manlet for 40 years
>>150459468
shiratorizawa coach is such a fucking insecure manlet faggot holy shit.
>>150459581
He gets worse in the manga
nishinoya being based as fuck
>>150459621
i read the manga and i dont remember him being this butthurt
brb rereading this shit
>>150459679
When he calls Hinata shit and worthless
He had like only 2-4 quicks in this whole match
>>150459650
People like to call this the Tsukki arc, but really he shares that stage with Nishinoya, though it was already well-established that Noya is amazing.
>>150459710
Worthless without Kageyama
I vaguely feel like Taichi was more impressive than the manga.
>>150459744
That's not entirely an unfair assessment, neither of them is at the best without each other on the court. It kind of puts a down on Kageyama, though, he's skilled enough to compensate even if no one's quite the weapon Hinata is.
>>150459728
Nishioya is based but Im just Glad that fucker actually have a reasom to be on the court. A motivation
>>150459804
>neither of them is at the best without each other
lol yeh that's why kageyama gets invited to all-japan
while hinata doesn't even make the cut for the local first-year training camp
hinata's pretty much worthless without kageyama
>>150459814
It sure took him long enough, but I think he's there to stay now. I guess you could say it took 4 pushes to get him there.
>>150459468
FUCKING THIS.
Some of the frames this episode looked damn nice.
>>150457561
You can't make this shit up.
I wonder if there doing a short season for the training camps.
I would be okay with another 10 episode.. Or even an OVA series
>>150459744
Eh, really?
Hinata will become literal monster if the setter is Oikawa, though.
>>150459838
Hinata was pretty close to getting invited, it was the manlet coach who refused to take him in, the other younger coach admited to wanting to invite Hinata.
>>150460032
what an asshole
jesus christ my heart
>>150459956
I hope so. The training camps from season 2 were some of my favorite parts.
>Next time on DBZ
I sympathize with Ushiwaka, Hinata as a volleyball player is annoying. He pretty much lucked out by finding the only setter who was enough of a genius to make him a force on offense while he's complete shit at everything else and only manages to make plays because of luck.
His "block" against Ushiwaka, the perfect example. Tsukishima spent two sets pressuring Ushiwaka and the setter to force a mistake to finally get a critical block, meanwhile Hinata puts his hands up without even jumping and gets a lucky bounce into the back of the other team's court.
By all accounts Hinata is not a good volleyball player.
I thought that was gonna be it for the match but then I remembered those pages in the manga of Ushijima going into rape mode holding Hinata and Tsuki down.
>>150459956
Tokyo qualifiers has 2 matches Nekoma vs Nohebi and Nekoma vs Fukurodani and they are short in the Manga
The match of Fukurodani vs Itachiyama is like 2 pages long which is why I think they could easily make a 12 episode season about the Tokyo qualifiers + the two training camps + the practice match against Date Tech right before Nationals next year.
>>150460236
fuck off manlet coach
>>150460282
I said nothing about his height.
>>150460063
>It's a Rolling Thunder episode
What did you think about Ukai's new VA btw?
>>150460358
>>150460418
His chance ball screams are not as hype but I'll give him a chance that he'll be better in the future.
>>150460418
he's alright, not as bad as the VA switch in HxH
>>150460418
It was going to be a jarring change no matter what they did, but I think the new guy sounds too old, and he doesn't really seem able to summon the same enthusiasm in his voice.
>>150460358
>>150460421
Better Libero coming through
>>150460492
sup sup
>>150460418
Sounded bit old. Difficult to adjust to new voice in the middle of the season. First time he said something I thought it wasn't a new VA, so it's not like they're totally different.
>>150460418
>tumblr gif
Fuck off
>>150460418
I won't lie, he'll take some getting used to, but it could have been a lot worse. I'll miss Tanaka's gravelly delivery for a long time, regardless, but I'm actually pleased the new VA didn't try and voice-match him.
>>150460236
No one says Hinata is a good volleyball player. He puts in more effort than anyone in the series (even Kageyama) to barely become a starter and acknowledges that himself.
>only manages to make plays because of luck
Those aren't the only plays he has made this game. It's been built up throughout the past season Kageyama utilizes his skills better than most, so why is that luck? It's not like anyone else can explode as quick as he can (on Karasuno).
>>150460282
tbqh, if you look at the wiki pages of international volleyball teams, the shortest players are roughly 180cm, whereas most of the team is 190-200cm
>>150460548
Because no other setter can do that.
>>150460001
>Oikawa
He said he wouldn't be able to perform such a quick
>>150460492
More like Jobber Libero. All the hype Itachiyama's getting, they're going to get punked by Nekoma and get sent packing. Yaku's the libero who needs to be feared.
Tsuki's first set.
Is that song new or used before?
>>150460702
Sorry brah but if Fukudorani beat Nekoma and Itachiyama beat Fukudorani in the same tournament then: Itachiyama > Nekoma
>>150459744
The Shiratorizawa coach told him that to his face in the recent training arc and it causes Hinata a lot of grief because knows he's not very skilled on his own. But he had some great character development where he's learning to thinking about other stuff than just spiking and on his way to becoming a more rounded player.
I liked watching Tendo get legitimately frustrated.
Though not as much as I like watching him celebrate.
Too bad they made him a third-year because this is pretty much the only match we see him in.
Did the match end this episode? My friend wants to rewatch the whole thing before the match ends.
>>150460857
Next episode
>>150460492
If he's so good, why he doesn't do a Rolling Thunder?
>>150460492
What the fuck is wrong with his eyebrows?
So let's talk about the manga.
Do you guys think they'll lose in the nationals? I somehow don't think the author is gonna make Hinata and Kagayama national champions in their first year. I think they're gonna lose in the either the finals or semifinals. Then the there'll be a lot drama and grief with the third years retiring after getting to close, but still falling short.
>>150460418
Sucked, but I think it would be the same result no matter what VA they could use.
Reminder that Hinata would have no chance in serious competitions.
Pic related: the heights of the best volleyball team in the world.
>>150461054
>Eder Carbonara
You can't make this shit up.
>>150460980
They are just thick
>>150460953
The number 1 libero in Japan doesn't need to
Shiratorizawa are so fucking boring to watch since its the Ushijima wank off show at least Aoba had multiple players who were interesting and good.
So fucking sad that coach VA couldn't survive for 2 more episodes, Fucking damn.
>>150460570
He probably made Hinata too short to be realistically successful, but it's a sports manga so anything can happen.
If all else fails it looks like Hinata would be an amazing coach since he works well with others.
>>150461019
OCD-kun is going to beat them for sure.
I hope Karasuno vs Nekoma still happens.
>>150461054
Reminder is only 14. His still going to grew some. Pretty sure he will be peaking at 165 or 170
Also his Spike is around 320-330. Just Saying
>>150461019
They made all the new rivals 2nd years, it's obvious they'll lose year and then get revenge next year. Karasuno will beat Nekoma though, I'm pretty sure.
>>150461213
Okay, so he grows to 170, best case scenario, then what? You think anyone would want anything to do with a guy who's 25cm shorter than the average Olympic-tier player?
>>150461129
True but I feel like Shiratorizawa has a bigger quantity of memorable players.
Seijou had Oikawa, mad dog, Kageyama's two former team mates, that second year and the other two third years but aside from Oikawa we never got to the other players them as much as the Shiratorizawa players (Like Tendou or Shirabu).
>>150461392
Yeah this is almost like one of those Japanese cartoons where Surreal things happen all the time
>>150461019
I want to see more interactions between players, Haikyuu can be really comfy and funny at times
>>150459468
They never learn.
>>150461392
In a manga where Hoshiumi gets invited to national training camp then I'd say Hinata's chances to go that far aren't bad.
>>150459952
I know right? Robin Williams had same kind of situation and it really couldn't get more beautiful.
Has Nishinoya ever scored a single point?
>>150461502
Shiratorizawa is just not endearing or interesting in any way. Since Fukurodani, Nekoma, and Karasuno are all relevant this arc will be a lot better.
>>150459133
It is literal namek the cour anon.
even if hinata does become good at receiving and blocking etc, almost all his value will still be the freak quick.
there's just no getting around it, if kageyama's not on that team, there's no reason to use hinata over a taller player of equal skill.
>>150459468
>i-i-i was not successful thus no manlet will ever be!
>>150460128
Is freeza finally going /fullpower/?
Will he also bulk up?
>>150461766
It's just a fictional manga. It's only purpose is to inspire kids to take up sports.
It's not even that realistic to begin with seeing as how Hinata is going to be jumping even higher than before.
>>150460128
>This set will end in 5 minutes
Goddamn, this shit is intense.
>>150460128
>If i can't win this game, i am gonna destroy this court along with you!
The worst thing about this arc ending will be the lack of nee-san. Saeko nee-san's tits are miracles.
>>150461990
>Implying
>>150462065
Speaking of which, why does she have black hair in the ED?
>>150460778
Yes, because this series isn't about underdog teams on the buildup toppling their big bads, is it?
>>150461019
I think they'll make it as far as facing Nekoma and lose. Whether or not that's the final or the semifinals, I'm not sure. I'll honestly be shocked if Karasuno wins the whole thing.
>>150460128
>DBZ
American confirmed, go and do some push ups fatty.
>>150461019
The only way they would ever win nationals would be if he decides to end the manga relatively soon. If not, they'll definitely lose. It's just a question of who they lose to, and who wins nationals.
I'd be lying if I didn't admit how sad is be if they lost. Even if the new first years are good, I'm still gonna miss Daichi, Asahi, and Suga.
>>150462131
Karasuno has been on a huge winning streak especially with defeating Seijou and Shiratorizawa. They'll probably have to suffer another major defeat. This is gonna be rough on the 3rd years.
>>150461699
Nishinoya doesn't score points, it's not his job to. He feeds the ball to those that can. You don't remember him lamenting about that during season 1 when he was bitching Asahi out about it not being Asahi's choice when to quit trying to score as long as Noya was there to save the balls for him to spike?
>>150462131
If manga is planned to continue until next nationals, they should keep Nekoma and Karasuno apart in competitive matches. Have them finally face each other in the finals next year would be a great climax. You can't go on and blow your load like that. Having them both make nationals this year and still miss out on the battle of the garbage dump makes for a pretty neat subplot.
>>150458964
CDJapan says 17Jan2017 release. It's up for pre-order now.
Oikawa re-release as well.
>>150462499
I hope we get a full Makko shobu next week
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RiKAAR2tHws
So...
What will we have?
1/ a Slam Dunk-tier last part where they beat 1 or 2 opponents, then have to face the super-hyper-mega-over9000 favorite powerhouse, beat them, then the manga ends with a "we're keep going forward"?
2/ a super happy-end where they win it all and become champion by playing against the final against that other team from Tokyo with the manlet-setter?
3/ a Diamond no Ace-tier last part where they beat a few teams before being beaten, then the manga ends only to start again with Haikyuu season 2 and introduce a few more characters?
?
>>150462199
The biggest difference between Karasuno beating Seijou and Shiratorizawa and what they're going to face at Nationals is that they're going to have to keep facing them because they're local prefecture schools, whereas anyone they face at Nationals may be a school they never have to face again. It's almost imperative Karasuno face and lose to a school they'll expect to see again, like Nekoma and Fukurodani, rather than one that's so far away they'd might as well be on the Moon, like Itachiyama. For all the hyping about Itachi, I'll honestly be surprised if Karasuno faces them directly and wins, but it's just as surprising if they face them at all when it's virtually fated that Karasuno's going to have to have a familiar but not-local obstacle bring their rise to a sudden halt, which means Nekoma or Fukurodani, the "next level" they'll have to aspire to in order to progress to be a team that could actually win Nationals against the best of the rest of the entirety of Japan, almost all of whom are unknown entities. My prediction is that Karasuno will not win Nationals, and it won't be Itachiyama that takes them down. Time will tell if I'm right or not.
>>150462639
3 most likely, but without ending.
>>150462499
Iwaizumi deserved better.
>>150462744
At least the face plates are different from the usual.
Should have just ended the match this chapter and have super condensed highlights of Nekoma vs Fukurodani and Nohebi so next season can start off with training camp and work up to Nationals.
>>150462744
mad dog with bangs a cute
>>150463119
Fuck that, I want their matches.
>>150463318
It would be an awkward start of a new season. They could do with keeping it off-screen. Nekoma vs Fukurodani was like 3 chapters and who gives a fuck about Nohebi.
>>150463422
Yeah no. I'm glad that they aren't going to listen to you.
I hope they include this scene in the future.
Aone and Hinata is my favorite thing ever
>>150463453
Calm down landwhale. There won't be a s4 until another 3 years anyways.
>>150463551
Forgot picture
>Imagine a world without Haikyuu
>>150463624
I fucking love Nishi
>>150463590
I'm glad they got to compete again even if it was a practice match.
>>150463422
At the very minimum, I want to see the final set between Fukurodani and Nekoma, and the entire match of Nohebi and Nekoma. Nekoma needs some spotlight time in the anime and those two events occupying half a season would provide it.
>>150464704
They're definitely gonna give Nekoma some hype because they are Karasuno's fated rival. I wouldn't mind if Karasuno vs Nekoma lasted 30 chapters since both teams are so likable.
I wonder if Fukurodani will get to face Nekoma again or maybe Karasuno.
nekoma's second setter is adorable
>>150465036
You mean their second libero? Nekoma doesn't have a backup setter.
s1 threads were filled with Sugafags. s2 threads were dominated by cats and owls. Why aren't the Tsukkifags furiously circle jerking in these threads?
>>150465292
You WANT us to behave like those plebs?
>>150465358
These threads are so inactive you might as well have fun with it.
>>150465463
Unlike every other series /a/ likes to circlejerk over and spam thread after thread with, I prefer to think of the quietness of Haikyuu threads as the balm to the syphilitic rash that is /a/ at large. I don't see a reason to parade Best Boy(s) in front of the bestial masses for their useless eyes to devour, just to bump the only worthwhile thread on this mongrel website.
I don't ask for much but if this cocky little shit doesn't get BTFO I will be disappointed.
Really wish they didn't have shit like "MUH SYNCHRONIZED ATTACK I HAVE TO SHOUT THE NAME OUT LOUD JUST LIKE A BATTLE ANIME" shit every now and then. It's nice to have a sports anime without special powers, but couldn't they have just not used attack names too?
>>150466132
Why is he strangling himself?
I want to ____ Hinata's little sister.
>>150462639
4/ Where no one has to graduate ever and they get to all play volleyball forever.
>>150466463
Give more screen time to
Where can I find manga raws? Also what chapter of the manga does the match against Shiratorizawa end?
>>150467396
I don't know where you could find raw scans but the match ends at chapter 189.
hey did you guys hear about how the voice actor died

Iwaizumi was more memorable
>>150468029
Seijou and Shiratorizawa 3rd years are officially dead now. Hopefully we'll never see them again.
In Shibuya.
Nishinoya is the coolest motherfucker that exists.
>>150470006
He's a 17 year old virgin.
PATHETIC.
>>150457561
UKAI-KUN ;_;
This episode made me feel more pumped than I've felt since...I can't even remember.
Is this how it is to be a /sp/orts fag?
Damn I love this show.
>>150463751
Nishi 10/1
>>150470505
You're just a healthy little boy. Go join the volleyball team.
>>150470505
Harness the hype, get fit as fuck.
>>150470755
I actually was in the volleyball team.
Being short but not being a genius sucked though. But let me tell you, playing volleyball is so fucking fun!
>>150468714
Cool as fuck
>>150457561
>S3 ends next week
>>150458228
When that showed up in the latest ep, I cheered.
At the rate the manga is padding things out with fodder teams and lost shoes I seriously think the manga will end after this years nationals, though nationals might go on for years if Shiratorizawa took 8 months.
I hope Furudate doesn't neglect the 3rd years in favor of Tsukishima or Kageyama's repetitive King bullshit.
>>150466170
Yeah that was my biggest complaint, especially last ep (or maybe it was the one before that), it is so overused. At least this ep they didn't do it at all so we didn't have to hear "MUH SYNCHRO KOUGEKI"
>>150476521
Haikyuu is full of embarrassing shit like that though. What I hate most how they do regular plays and everyone gets all shocked like it's so impressive and clever.
I could do without the constant barrage of reaction shots.
>>150476661
At least it's proportional though. When a character does something really impressive they celebrate way more. Tsukishima blocking Wakatoshi that one time is one example.
>>150476747
A blocker blocking isn't that surprising on it's own, but Ushicow is OP and Tsukishima never actually gave a shit about playing until recently.
Everything else is just the opposing team or audience overreacting or hyping different characters up because the readers/viewers are too stupid to figure things out on their own.
