The Little Giant is an old Karasuno player that went to Nationals. He was the Ace, the best spiker on the team. He was also short. So Hinata looks up to him and wants to be like him. That's all we know for a looong time. (That's all I know, I've seen up to Season 4) Also, pleeease binge this.

!!! I HOPE THIS FINDS YOU AND HELP YOU GUYS !!!! Since you seem quite confused or lost about what some words might mean: Sensei simply means teacher in japanese Senpai have various meanings but in this context it means an upperclassman. It can be your senior in school or in work. Basically someone who has a higher experience or someone older than you in a hierarchy. You will also see the suffix "san", "chan" or "kun" frequently connected with the characters names. The suffix "san" usually is used as a polite speech to show respect. So when you see them saying "Tanaka-san", "Daichi-san".. they usually say this towards their senpais, the ones older than them or even to the teachers and coaches. The suffix "chan" is like an endearment, usually used as a cute way to call the person. This mostly are used for girls or children or people that are really close to you. So when Hinata's friend called him Sho-chan for example, the "sho" is from his name "Shoyo" and then added the "chan" suffix for endearment because he is a close friend. But I think it would be easier for you to just call him Hinata. ☺️ The suffix "kun" is a semi-formal title. Not as formal and polite as "san" and are usually used for younger men or people of the same age. You'll see Hinata usually call Kageyama "Kageyama-kun" throughout the show. Like Koreans, Japanese also have a very polite culture and language so the hierarchy and age plays a lot of role into their interactions. Like how you say Kageyama seems to listen to Daichi (the captain) even though Kageyama seems to be a more skillful player.. it's because well aside from he is the captain, he is also his senpai because he's a third year. You'll see a lot of scenes with this name suffix throughout the show and how they address their senpais even for the other teams so I figured you should know atleast these facts so you can understand it better. ☺️ If anyone wants to add something or correct me in any info that might be wrong, please feel free to comment so Jared and Jordan will hopefully read it and will be aware as well. 🤘 Love you guys!!! I'm buckled up deep for this Haikyuu journey with you!!!! So damn excited!!!!! 🔥

Tanaka was saying outloud to the people inside the gym "Practice starts at 7, right?" So that Kageyama and Hinata that were outside can know that "hey official practice of the volleyball club is 7 so if you want to use the gym without the captain of the team catching you, you better come to the gym and get out by 7 am". That is why kageyama and Hinata said they would be at the gym at 5 am.

1The 'ace' is generally the spiker that is depended upon most for scoring; the show does a pretty good job of explaining it further and within context of the players considered as 'aces'. The "Little Giant" is the Karasuno spiker that Hinata was entranced by in episode 1 when he saw Karasuno on the tv.

The Little Giant is a Legendary player from Karasuno (the highschool that the main characters just entered) who helped lead the team to nationals. The little Giant already graduated before the current seniors (aka 3rd years like the captain) started attending the school.

I hope this will help a little about the language and suffix since Japanese has lot suffix for many different situation... -Sensei = teacher (when you calling someone like 'Jordan-sensei' is same as saying 'Sir Jordan' to 'prof jordan' to your teacher and it shows respect and good manner. -San = calling someone with 'san' mean that you have respect for that person, it's also often used to show politeness so some people use it when talking to older person (like Tanaka call Daichi-san because Daichi is 1 year older and he respect him, tanaka is 2nd year). -Senpai = senior (or upperclassment in this case), seniority is huge in japan so it not rare to find someone use, however you can also use -san to show respect so it's more of preference choose, that's why Tanaka so happy when Shoyou & Kageyama call him 'Tanaka-senpai' cus he thinks it sounds cooler than just 'Tanaka-san' (like being called 'Big bro Tanaka'). -chan = usually only used to someone reaaally close, cus it's also show informality and friendliness, you can asume a person have very good relation or has known the other person for long time when they call it with chan, like Hinata's friend in middle school calling him 'Sho-chan'. I hope you can understand that, sorry I can explain it better, english is not my first language.. Will be waiting for the next episode, have a nice day!!

He saw Little giant play when he was in middle school, on the tv. Little giant was already a senior in highschool by then that's why he was playing on the team. Little Giant is already in University by now. It's 3 years of Highschool so eventually people graduate. Also Hinata looks up to the little giant because he was small just like him but could deafeat "giants".

Something to note is a lot of Japanese club activities are student led, so it's not uncommon for students to have access to the keys and school grounds, even if there isn't an adult present. There will usually be a teacher (sensei) designated to supervise the club, but they are often incredibly busy, so they tend to be organized and run by the older level students (senpai). So right now, Daichi, the captain, is basically in charge of the whole team, which is why the vice principal got upset when Kageyama and Hinata weren't listening to him. This is also why Tanaka let Hinata and Kageyama know that the team would be practicing at 7, so they could get the key earlier and come in to practice before anyone else since they're still technically banned from practices. One last pronunciation guide... it's "hi" (like saying hi to someone" then a short "k" followed by a slightly elongated "yoo". You do pronounce the "y" sound in the "kyuu".

Some comments after watching ur first 2 reactions: - the show is pronounced as HAI-KYU (like kill) not KU - I think yall were very confused throughout, but Kageyama and Shoyo (Hinata) had the match when they were in Year 3 of their middle school - their last year in middle school. They are of the same age, and after a year; they finally met again at the same high school, Karasuno, as freshmen currently - Daichi is the captain, not a coach, - Senpai = their seniors, so in Japan, for example if you’re a year 1 freshmen, all the year 2s and 3s are your senpais - Sensei = teacher - Ace will be explained in the later episode, basically you can take the meaning literally first, it’s your go-to best hitter on the team - The Little Giant was referenced in the first episode; it’s the shorter player on Karasuno whom Shoyo looks up to, and saw on the TV. That was the first time Shoyo was inspired and wanted to play volleyball, as he was thinking, “wow, even though I’m short, I can play volleyball like the little giant too!” Karasuno also went to nationals when little giant was in the team

In my country, ACE are the best players in a team. No matter in what they are the best: scoring, defending, controlling, etc... if they are extremely good, they are the ace. I think it comes from the french cards, Ace is a good card usually, either if you call it number 1 or the last and biggest card in the deck. But it is not only about the scorers, not here at least. I noticed that in some places this is different, and for some reason, americans never understand what ace is, which indicates they probably won't use this word? Maybe this is an european thing? Not sure tho. But yeah. :"D Also, about Tanaka, he was speaking loudly that "practice starts at 7 am at the gym", because he heard, that Kageyama and Hinata are talking about how to practice if they cannot use the gym. So basically Tanaka told them, when the pracitce starts, and what time they need to leave the gym before the official team members are coming. So, they decided to come at 5 am, to practice 2 hours at the morning, before the others are noticing, and Tanaka overheard that, and knew, the gym will be locked at that time. So, he was once again nice, and brought the key to them. :D He was helping them to use the gym in secret before the team comes.

Love your reactions and the way it's making you nostalgic for your basketball days. You'll learn a lot about volleyball believe me, I've never played and I feel like I have a good understanding for the game and what each player does in the court. I hope you keep enjoying it, I loved it and I am rewatching it with you guys. PS: The name of the series is pronouced with the Y so it is HaikYuu, you are missing the y sound. And it's means "volleyball" in Japanese, the literal translation.

I think I should give you two a little context to help you understand the story a bit better. The little giant is the player shoyo saw on the tv in the first ep that sparked his love for volleyball. The little giant used to attend karasuno Highschool and that’s the reason shoyo ended up going to the same school. Kageyama and shoyo are the same age and are both first years in high school. Kageyama was also in Junior high when he played against shoyo. King of the court was a nickname given to Kageyama in junior high. The nickname has negative connotations hints why he doesn’t like it but you’ll get more on that later. Shoyo and Kageyama’s rivalry started in middle school and they both so happened to attend the same high school for their first year, hints the learning curve. Kageyama may seem as though he is better than shoyo but in all honesty he has just as much to learn as shoyo… some things only come with age and time and older mentors to guide you.

Just to clarify how japanese school works. Kageyama didn't transfer schools. In Japan students have to apply to schools when entering both middle and high school much like poelpe entering college in the U.S. do. Also the way years are split up in Japanese schools is a little different then in the U.S. Middle school is 7-9 and high school is 10-12. This means that Hinata and Kageyama are 15 to 16 years old and Daichi is 17 or 18. And I'll just through this in because I know some people get confused by it; the school year starts in the spring.

Hi guys! Great reaction channel! I love your attitude, masterful attention to details, and piercing insight. Please let me give some non-spoilery advices about this masterpiece anime. Haikyuu is highly allegoric: it uses a lot of symbolisms, be perceptive to them because it really fleshes out the already amazing writing. - Team totemic animals. Karasuno team is represented by crows (Karasu = crow), other teams will have their distinct animals. These are the most explicit metaphors in the anime. - Character names have elements that tie them together or put them in stark contrast with one another. Kageyama means "shadow mountain", the "Hi" in Hinata means sun (and he has a blinding energy on the court), "Tsukki" in Tsukishima (a charter that will be introduced next episode) means moon (and his personality is quite a polar opposite to Hinata's). There's a lot here with many characters that we haven't met yet. - HUNGER. Throughout the series keep a close eye when food is involved and who is the hungriest. Hunger for food and hunger for victory are so closely related in this anime that they are almost interchangeable. Keep up the amazing work. You jumped at the top of my list of reaction channels. And I can't wait for you two specifically to react to the 4th season of Haikyuu, but we'll get there when we'll get there.

It might've just been a typo, but just in case, since that 1 letter makes a difference in this case: "'Tsukki' in Tsukishima ... means moon" is not exactly correct. "Tsukki (ツッキー)" is Tsukishima's nickname, while the "tsuki (月)" in Tsukishima (月島) means "moon".

Pleaseeeee watch/read Blue Lock, it's a soccer based anime/manga that is quite the opposite to Haikyuu, because it is believed that ego is the key to becoming best in the world. Without spoiling too much you will see the main character changing his mindset in order to become stronger in Blue Lock. Characters will continue to grow on you while you watch the most INTENSE matches. (I don't usually comment so sorry if description isn't convincing enough, but I love your reactions and really want you to react to my fav anime/manga ❤)
