We missed the point of Tsukishima (Haikyuu)

- "Tsukishima's story is learning to love volleyball", right? Tsukishima blocking Ushiwaka is one of Haikyuu's best scenes, but Tsukishima's story is so much more than just one point.
From his chat with Yamaguchi, to his discussion with Bokuto over "Being hooked on volleyball", I personally think there's a LOT more to Tsukishima. Karasuno vs Shiratorizawa is an epic match, one of Haikyuu's greatest seasons. But it's not the only one - in particular Tsukishima's development is really mostly in season 2, during the Tokyo training camp.
We see his past through flashbacks, his childhood with Yamaguchi, his dramatic moment where he sees his brother, isn't actually on the volleyball team and most interestingly, how much he used to love volleyball. It was never a case of "just a club", or "just one point", volleyball has always meant the world to Tsukishima.
It's often said that if Hinata is the sun, Tsukishima is the moon, this analogy works in countless ways, but "The battle of the sun and moon" breaks down in one area: Tsukishima doesn't always need Hinata to shine.

Tsukki blocking Ushiwaka's spike, was the moment his spark and love for volleyball was re-lit. And he was a lot better than he was giving himself credit for.
FOR REAALLL like i wasnt(and still kinda isnt) a dan of him but my god that scene will forever have me cheering
Haikyuu has such well written characters. That’s why haikyuu is so loved. Yes people think “ew it’s just a stupid volleyball anime.” But as you’ve said it is so much more than just that. I’ve learned so many life lessons from Haikyuu and it’s characters.
i havent watched haikyuu but can u spoil what made him change what was so tragic internally to despair and lose that passionate love for volleyball
@@olamideodupitan9637His brother said he was on the main vb team for Karasuno while tsukki was a child but when he sneakely goes to watch his brother play he finds out he isnt on the field, not even on the bench but in the stands cheering.
@kola7504 geez so his bro was a fake, that's sad especially as bring a young boy with everything u know about ur brother being all a lie
🤓
@@olamideodupitan9637 To be fair he's not a bad person. He genuinely wanted and tried to be on the main team but he wasn't good enough.
"Once you love something, you become vulnerable"
But to protect that thing, you'll become invulnerable
Tsukki's been my favourite since the beginning, and I find his struggles very relatable to me personally. Anytime I see that block against Ushiwaka, I get tears. It's such a well done moment that was built up to over SO many epiodes.
Tsuki telling Hinata he trusts him in the inirizaki match was the moment for me. As someone who had a teammate like tsuki that scene will never not get me
and he was the first one in the team who understood hinata is on a whole new level now
The way I cheered when Tsuki blocked Ushijima's spike
Yeah no whoever walk away from Tsukishima with just "oh he didn't care and now he cares" just missed the point by a mile.
You see Tsuki suffer and get bitter, you see him get irritated when people around him lmotivate him and, hell, right before his backstory in season 2 he is literally saying with an irritated voice "why do you try so hard? It will only make it hurt more when you fail" *cut to a scene of his brother crying in his room*.
Tsuki's attitude is one big defense mechanism rooted really hard in his teenage brain but you can't deny the kid played Volleyball for 5+ years and didn't stop even when he was shocked at seing his brother at his lamest point.
almost cried its finally clear to me why tsukki is my favorite character in haikyuu 😭
"Things are more enjoyable when you feel competent in them"
Who knew an anime video would give me such a relatable quote.
Ur the goat man 🐐
I initially didn't like Tsukishima, but after watching his character development he felt so dear to me. I'm really amazed, Haikyuu is reallyy spectacular
8:35 Honestly what a beautiful line, you can be good at something and who cares about being the "best" because even that doesn't last forever.
It’s 10 in the morning and I’m eating breakfast, Tsukki’s story and the symbolism and reflection of real life struggles, it’s beautiful. Every year around this time, I rewatch the anime and notice the subtle nuances of the characters more and more. This video managed to put one of the aspects I was still kinda sleeping on, tsukki’s character. It’s a beautiful arc and this video portrayed it well. I’m not even lying when I say this brought me to tears because this video helped remind me why Haikyuu!! Is my favorite show/series of all time and why it’s helped me grow to the person I am today.
Thanks for making this video man
3:32 I think there's another layer to it, he wasn't jealous just for himself but also for his brother, he saw all of his brothers's passion without the talent to back it up, unlike Hinata and Kageyama who even have more of enough talent to reach the top of the volleyball world.
Damn, this video was a masterpiece, just like Tsukki's character development
This video amazes me with how he explains Tsukishima's point of view before and after, he has been let down by his brother's lies, and it cannot get more direct and emotional than it already is.
honestly tsukishima's backstory and the development of his charakter got me the most emotional. for that reason the game against ushiwaka is my favourite game in the entire anime. it nearly made me cry i just couldn't handle it.
He's not someone I hugely appreciated the first time around, but each time I rewatch it I like him more. That seems to go for every character tbf though lol
I don’t even watch this anime but you made me tear up..appreciate you hard work from those who love sports
Seeing people say they watch my videos even when they haven't seen the anime makes me so happy for some reason, thank you
Thanks for showing another perspective of him seeing himself and Hinata paralleled to his brother with the Little Giant. It made more sense why he was always trying to place himself after Hinata cause of what happned to his brother being a senior but was taken over by a younger player. For me, Tsukishim had been acknowledging Hinata’s abilities but did not like all the hype he was giving to the club cause he could see his brother in him and he knew there would be a time Hinata would face a defeat in the future that might destroy him.
Tsukishima has always been a character I could relate to, and I feel like people never actually analyze his character, but seeing this video just makes me so happy, since the character means the world to me. I started very lightly crying because Jesus Christ I see myself in the character. So thank you for this amazing video ❤/vpos
Glad you enjoyed!
PSA: No spoilers in this provided you've watched up to the end of season 3 - zero manga content in here!
Thank you! Haikyuu is my favorite series all time but I realized I’ve yet to read the manga because I only recently over the last year started reading manga
@@AUG_Glow you should definitely check it out - the last arc is my favourite in any series ever
Tsukishima is the definition of character development.
as an intj (like tsuki) i related to him so much from the first episode, and his character growth is really inspiring to me.
A video on a random guy in an anime opened my eyes. I am just like him, downplaying things so I can protect myself from inevitable hurt... but what have I sacrificed because of that? 😭😭 thank you!
The power of analysis, with a truly fully awakened passion.
As an INTJ myself, so much of Tsukki resonates with me. We are very logical so easily can fall in patterns of pessimism. It takes a lot to take ourselves of that pit. We need to admit that we haven’t fully giving up. That we’re just scared of being hurt again. There’s so much more life to be had!
I've yet to watch Haikyuu, but I still love watching these videos. Haikyuu seems like the perfect balance of teamwork and individual struggles/challenges, that I think you do a great job at explaining. Good work man!
(Also that mic cut to the yell of pride was well thought!)
its genuinely a great watch!! I hope you find the time to watch it
I'm going through this exact thing right now!! For a while my art hadn't improved, I was content with my skill and I didn't feel any need to grow. But then I was reccomended to study art, and I did. I started with the head, the different planes, angles, and perspective, for the first time I actually learned how to study. I went through a mental low point after that and then started studying art again, which brought me out of it. I then experienced what this vid is talking about. I am now more motivated and love art more. I also feel like I can improve a lot.
Great vid
Definitnetly my favourite scene the build up to this point made it legendary
The story is very well written indeed.
I literally cried my eyeballs out watching this some how 😭
EVERY CHARACTER HAS THEIR HAIKYUU MOMENT FROM THE OTHER TEAMS BEING SAD ABOUT LOSING TO THE BACKGROUND SECOND YEAR KARASUNO PLAYERS THAT INITIALLY QUIT THE TEAM WE LOVE ALL OF THEM
as someone who's also pessimistic.. thank you for making me realize this. tears have been shed. that tsukki scene really hits hard.
this was a long video and i was reluctant to watch it, butmid way wtching i hoped it would never end... amazing video man keep up
Glad you enjoyed it!
Hey dude i just finished watching you eariler stuff and went to this one before i go through my day. Honestly these hit close to home for me.
In my situation it was soccer. (Imagine how i felt when blue lock came out)
I played for two years, but those two years i work hard. I knew i wasnt gonna match people who played because the love the game and since they were little. Buti wanted to match or help those people who love it shine.
Ive grown fond of the sport but i never had a passion for or i guess i never fully liked it. But i found my motivation but seeking a chance to help people shine through.
I spent my second year in school but my first year in soccer as a defender and midfielder. I never made goals and we lost a good bit, but i played and i feel like i shined and people cheered for me when i stopped a ball from making it in. When i stole it from the other player, when i was this close to makeing it.
I wanted to shine now, i wsnted to achieve a goal, i wanted screams for me. But the matter of fact was, i didnt practice much i was still in my first year of actually playjng soccer.
My second year of sccer (currently this year) i was benches, i moved up to varsity and i was bench most of the time, i was people fight but i wasnt on there. I couldnt do what was easy for people who played longer and with a passion could. I never got my chance to shine or even help stop someone. The feeling of loving a sport left, i had zero hope for me. But it hurt, i want to help thats all, i went back to my "all i want is to help someone else shine" im not good enough to want more. It wss a horrible mind set but it was all i had. I end my season the exact opposite of the way i wanted too. So seeing this made my heart cry a little.
Im not going back. My last year i plan to work. Seeing just this video made me want to go back. It really did. Thank you, i mught not mean alot but thank you, this video hits close to home for me. And im honestly so happy tuski got a chance to love his sport and still play it as a college student. It really makes me feel like i could have if i reallt wanted it. Anyways that was my rant 😂😂😂 love the videos i subscribed!!!
Thank you for existing Lessons

One of my favorite episodes of Haikyuu, awesome video
I love Tsukki 😭😭😭❤ Thank you for this delightful video!
Fantastic video. Thanks for making it!
Thank you for this video. Tsukishima is my favorite character and he’s so often misunderstood
Amazing video. That is why he is my favorite character from the series
man. I don't think there has ever been a video on CZcams that was so perfect for what I needed in that moment than this one. Thank You.
Glad I could help!
Loved the video. It has made me think about and understand things about myself
the ending (and that scene when I first watched it) gave me some giant goosebumps lol
this video really helped me push ever more to get that kind of satisfaction tysm
honestly this video is just amazing
I cry everytime with that scene, it's so good.😭😭😭
Thanks Tsukki 🧡💛💜
Awesome stuff, vids like these always reignite my love for Haikyuu !🔥
Can't wait for the movie!
Same fam.. Same 😌
great vid man, keep it up!
Really enjoyed this movie. Thanks for sharing your insights!
Great video thank for making this video
I really appreciate this kind of content, and thank you very much for making this one because there's something in my head that's been bothering me since I lost to another tournament I played the last month.
I am competing in a moba game and it's been a few years since I started doing this.
So a few months back there was a challengers league that was announced last July, and I saw an opportunity for me to go pro, so a month later I found a team that was good enough to compete for the challengers league, scrims was going well and we are improving week by week.
The rules for the challengers league is it will be a 4 month long qualifiers and the winner for the each month will play for the finals and 2 teams will only make it. But, a week before the tournament, internal dispute happened between my team mate and my manager. They decided to take separate ways and it affected our momentum. One member of our team got my team into a drama that doesn't make sense and he left the team, so 4 of us decided to just find someone good enough to fill in. But we didn't had much time to practice and we lost the 2nd qualifiers. After that month, we rebuilt the roster again but 2 players left our team and the 3 of us still wants to finish until the end of the qualifiers. We had a couple of changes constantly for the 2 remaining qualifiers.
Bottom line is, these things that happened to me as an individual hits me deep, I feel hopeless and I thought to myself If I had a better team mates I could have made it. I lost my will to compete again, I feel like I hit a wall or ceiling that tells me this is only how far I can make it. But, after seeing this video, Tsukki showed us that nothing is meaningless doing what is fun and what you love.
Same to what bokuto said to tsukki that says: "keep going until that happens, until you have that moment." Personally it's really hard to keep going, I've been competing for years but haven't made it to pro scene. I failed twice the past years on a qualifier, my team still need just 1 win to make it to pro scene, but we lost. Happened again a few months later. But I still continued competing after that loss. I forgot to give myself credit when I did not give up after the devastating loss I had before.
I actually rewatched haikyuu for the third time and it's still keeps reminding me or teaching me things that I forgot or never knew. I also watched some sports anime such as Major!, Diamond no ace, Ao ashi, blue lock, Overtake! and Ahiru no sora. When I feel stuck or I feel like I hit a wall, I always comeback and watch one of there anime to help me get back up on my feet and keep on doing until it happens to me. I will go back into the light that's coming from the court.
I really just do love your videos!
Keep at it my guy
Thanks, will do!
Beautiful video❤
What a beautiful video. Thank zou for that!
Glad you enjoyed it!
The moment I started to understand and like Tsukki was that moment with Shiratorizawa
I always found tsukkii a very interesting character, i completely understood him. he always put up this fake, image of superiority and lies, to hide his insecurities, and honestly, I get that, I do that. he focuses on all that he can't do, without paying much attention to what he can, as a volleyball player myself, it makes him seem all the more interesting to me, it really does make a difference to me when I think of the times when I first starting playing the sport and compare them to now, I really do realize how much I've improved and gives me more motivation to keep playing, although my improvement was insignificant, it gave me reason to keep playing. and not just volleyball, this applies to everything else too, in third grade I was at an average of 55% after that, during 4-5 grade in lockdown they just kept on deteriorating, I genuinely didn't think it would be any better, but I put in some effort in 6th grade after covid and did really manage to score 84%-ish and now in 7th, 89% the day I got my report card, I felt dissapointed, I was just that close to 90%, but when i looked back, i realised how much I've improved and how much i still can. which gave me confidence for starting 8th grade and score a 90%-95%.
This video felt much shorter than it was, so great success!
Fantastic video
16:19 My fav moment in the anime for sure!!!
I literally just watched the last episode of haikyuu and then he uploads a haikyuu vid right after
He’s my favorite character 😊
"I know this is a long video..." you say to me, when I'm coming here from your other 50min video
Well , this was one heck of a philosophical depthness
Love you Brother 💞
I'm a new Haikyuu and anime fan, and Tsukki's celebration in the game of Karasuno vs Shiratorizawa was...... warming yet touching.
yeah, I felt some similarities at the begin of the story to myselft with the very realistic and rational viewpoint, and that volleyball is just a game. but as the series progressed, I immersed myself and got more and more carried away by their spirit in their games. and the spirit for improving was especially shown in the tokyo training arc. and that´s the part where you can see the best how important volleyball is also for tsukushima, but I got annoyed a bit by him when he didn´t admit it. the spark flew over to me outside of the anime but, he directly involved couldn´t be true to himself. but then in the last match tsukushima really shined and I felt happy because we saw how you can change, that you should never let the spark of hope die and always give your best.
almost everyone in karasuno have issue that took a bit to work it out but Tsukishima truly shine the most, in season 1 and 2 he still dont see volleyball as anything special like the rest of his teammate, and during the training camp in season 2 after some talk with kuroo and bokuto he still dont understand what make it fun, to him it just a extra extracurricular since he already smart in the school department, Tsuki did say he compare himself to hinata as hinata was the sun and he the moon, But i admit season 3 made me cry after seeing him loving volleyball like how his teammate feel
You are correct, this anime is actually MORE than just volleyball…
Tsukki’s arc in 3 seasons was absolutely amazing
pls upload more haikyuu videos!!!
You have probably realized this but there are a lot of word play in the name of Haikyuu characters that reflect their personality and their rival:
Hinata - 日向 (ひなた) - Hi in Hinata means the "Sun" vs. Tsukishima - 月島 (つきしま) - Tsuki means the "Moon"
or
Ryu 龍之介 (りゅうのすけ) with Ryu means "Dragon" vs Tora (from Nekoma) means "Tiger"
Do you notice any other?
Im not crying im not crying 😭😭😭😭😭😭
Yes!!!!!!!!!!! ❤❤❤
U r my favourite vontent creator brother. Thank u
The main takeaway from tsukki's arc for me is that tsukki gets to learn that its okay to love volleyball and work hard for it, even if it means that he might never remain/reach to be the best
Would you ever consider making such a video essay for Asahi too?
I'll see! Definitely got more Haikyuu on the way!
thanks to bokuto and kuroo
I don't watch Haikyuu, but appreciate all these videos. I'm only 5 minutes into the video and already took some notes, haha.
Btw, Ping Pong the Animation is ripe for your channel.
u should definitely think about giving it a watch sometime. ive watched like 100+ series included all the mainstream battle shonens including aot and demon slayer but honestly haikyyu is my number 1 series of all time. the story and characters are soo good and it captures real feelings and emotion. its legit the one series i havent stopped watching reaction videos for lol
Read the manga, it’s goated
Watch and pick up this wonderful series soon.
This series made me start playing volleyball in highschool and now i love the sport. You should definitely give it a watch
Have you talked about Takeda Sensei yet? If not, could you do one about him?
I haven't, but tbh I don't know if he'll get a specific video. He says a lot of brilliant stuff, but I don't think he himself has enough of a story for a full video, rather he'll get a lot of mentions in other vids instead
This one is a little too close to home. (To the point where 8:38 , if you did said this, to me, it absolutely makes sense)
Slightly off topic but blue lock really is so different. The passion of it doesn't really compare to anything else as far as I'm aware. Haikyuu is amazing and I learned so much from it, but not every character wants to be *the best in the world* and even if they do, in blue lock it's a much stronger ambition for most if not all characters
I wish we'll get more "intense" media like that. In a way I guess that's one criticism you could throw at the pile of gold that is haikyuu
Blue Lock to be honest deserves to be mentioned in the dictionary under the description of Drive, passion and ambition.
I actually think that’s the charm in haikyuu. Not everyone has the same level of drive, passion, and ambition, and that’s okay. I really liked the realistic nature of Haikyuu and while I have yet to watch Blue Lock, I feel like although they’re both sports animes, they bring forth a very different perspective and viewing experience.
Of course. Hovewer it always bothered me that people don't have one dimensional dreams I guess. If you're a cook, I expect you to look, talk, act like one, but in reality you're a person before that. Not many poeple are their hobby, dream before their person, but those who do are damn interesting
15:43 "It's just a club"
Holy fuck!
Tsukkishima is one of the best written characters in haikyuu other than okiawa and w few others imo
I love Yamaguchi's shirt 👣ics (feet pics)😂
18min are long now huh?
Why didnt you mention depression?
I mean i hav watched a 6 huers video

Tsukishima always says its just a club but in the timeskip we see he joined a D2 team, the sendai frogs.
Yeah I loved that! Makes sense too tbh, he was such a strong player for a first year
@LessonsFromAnime yeah but he'll still be like: "and then there's these freaks, kageyama and hinata"
Are there any spoilers ?
Nope! (Assuming you've watched up to the end of season 3)
@@LessonsFromAnime I have watched Haikyuu and waiting for Feb 16 (But I haven't read Manga that's what I was talking about)
Idk man, tsukki’s onii-chan couldn’t even make the bench….
I'm confused, what part of the video is this disagreeing with?

speak for yourself
My bad bro
ayy N6_Mity got the 6th comment here isn't that cool like the video
yall can still turn to Christ God bless
Finally.🤍
I’ve been waiting on this for months.
Love this. Nice seeing analysis on anime as well. Often it's western cartoons or movies.
