Its good to watch
otomachine_oto_497
the eagle and crow imagery in the opening song got everyone hyped and the animation during the starting lineups was actually incredible
wallace
When the ball just bounced right off Nishinoya's arms, I actually gasped a little, like, wow, even *he* can't perfectly receive everything against Shiratorizawa. It really sank in for me then just how tough this final match is going to be for Karasuno, and that they're truly going to have to fight for every single point.
giacomo_357
I forgot how much I missed these idiots, and seeing Tanaka and Nishinoya acting like total weirdos in front of that massive crowd was the best way to start the finals
maria_campbell
Tendo singing that weird song about breaking hearts was so creepy and cool, it makes the shiratorizawa team feel so much more threatening than the others on screen
dankan_dancer_475
When Shoyo was biking through that mist, I just felt the weight on his shoulders, like the air itself was heavy with anticipation. Seeing the massive court afterwards, my stomach dropped because it truly hammered home just how intense these finals are gonna be for him and the whole team, and I'm so nervous for them.
kallen_kozuki_173
everyone felt the absolute dread when nishinoya looked at his arms after that first point and ushijima is a literal monster
meowth
I was so happy to see the vice principal getting way too into the cheering with his megaphone and it was such a nice touch to see hinatas middle school friends show up for him
daemon_coder
michimiya blushing while she gave daichi that victory charm was so sweet and suga pulling asahi away to give them space was such a funny move
hyoga_256
how did the animation get even better for this season and the way they showed ushijimas power warping the ball during warmups was insane
guts_the_swordsman_189
I am still thinking about that last point where nishinoya couldnt hold the ball because ushijima is a lefty and the way the spin just sends it flying is such a brutal way to start the match plus that shiratorizawa cheering squad is so much louder than karasunos it feels like they are walking into a lions den right now
sheikah
it is actually crazy that ushijima is a lefty because nishinoya is the best libero out there and seeing him get beat that easily is scary
diana_376
nothing beats that victory charm scene with daichi and yui and it was a great quiet moment before the absolute chaos of the match started
professor_magnolia_334
I still have chills from that opening shot of Hinata biking in the dark while thinking about the tall wall he has to climb. The tension in the air at the gym was thick and heavy
yami_yamato_140
Shiratorizawa having a whole brass band and a professional cheering section made the Karasuno side look so small and scrappy. It really feels like they are walking into a lions den
tengu_tempest_61
I was really expecting more action but the way they built up the atmosphere of the finals was perfect, especially that massive cheering section for Shiratorizawa making Karasuno look like total underdogs. That final shot of Ushijima staring down Hinata after blasting the ball past Noya felt like a huge wake up call for what a five set match will be like
alvavalva
Shiratorizawa is a whole different beast and seeing Nishinoya struggle with that left handed spin on the very first point has my stomach in knots
pierce
Tendo singing that creepy song about breaking hearts during the warm ups was so unsettling and he seems like he is going to be a nightmare to play against
vy_vampire
Ushijima is a literal wall and the way the ball warped when he spiked it shows just how much power Karasuno is dealing with now
EPISODE CONTEXT
As episode one of a tightly focused ten-episode season dedicated entirely to the Karasuno vs. Shiratorizawa match, "Greetings" serves as the foundation for everything that follows — establishing the emotional and competitive stakes fresh off Karasuno's hard-fought victory over Aoba Jousai.
