QUICK TAKES

VerifiedI really like how Kageyama genuinely cares and supports Hinata even when he starts getting jealous about other's height. It's also so funny seeing the neighborhood senpai teasing Kageyama and Nishinoya's speech was great lol. It really was a great match!

VerifiedThis episode changes things for the team for the better. With a mix of conflict, quick resolution, and heartfelt moments, it highlights growing trust and rekindled bonds among the players.

VerifiedThe practice match continues in this episode, giving us more insight into the characters’ personalities and perspectives. It was nice to see how each player reacts under pressure and contributes to the team dynamic.

VerifiedI love how the episode introduced conflict but resolved it quickly, leading to a wholesome moment. It really felt like a turning point for the team as they began to understand each other better.

Hinata watches experienced players and begins craving the chance to stay on the court longer. His hunger to improve becomes one of the team’s driving forces.

A great match! Hinata realizing that his speed can serve as the ultimate "Decoy" is such a brilliant tactic! It turns his greatest weakness (his height) into the team’s secret weapon. The chemistry during the practice match is finally clicking!✨

VerifiedGreat match, great display of emotions, and good pacing of the episode. Animation isn't anything noteworthy but the writing and story gives more on their relationship as a team and their plays as a team.

A great episode filled with valuable lessons, showing the characters supporting one another to build each other’s success. I’m really looking forward to seeing how they’ll perform against even tougher opponents.

VerifiedThe story's pace is a bit slow, in my opinion, because this time it focuses more on Hinata's inner struggles regarding the ace player. The depiction is quite convincing that Hinata felt insecure about her own abilities. But overall, this episode is still enjoyable.

VerifiedWith the training camp setting expands the overall level of play, I enjoy how Hinata’s struggles without giving him easy praise. I now feel excited and also slightly anxious because we've got through the emotional foundation of the team, and the real test begins.

VerifiedI love how Kageyama helped Hinata understand that he may not have Asahi’s raw power as the ace, but with his insane jumps and speed, he can still score and become the perfect decoy to open lanes for the other spikers.

🏐 After all the hype, this one slows down and shows the cracks, especially with Tsukishima and Yamaguchi. You can really feel that insecurity creeping in 😔 It’s not the flashiest episode, but it adds depth and sets up growth that pays off later 🔥

Getting actual goosebumps when the Neighborhood Association team stepped onto the court! The best part for me was definitely seeing Asahi finally snap out of his funk and call for the ball. That "Ace" awakening felt so WHOLESOME!!!!
Tensions in every spikes and moves are so intense. It seems like the team are having no trust from one another.

The tension is instant—every spike and block feels loaded with pride and effort. Watching the team struggle to trust one another makes you wonder how much pressure is too much, and whether teamwork can overcome individual limitations.

EPISODE CONTEXT
Sitting at the season's midpoint, 'Yearning' follows the emotional momentum of Asahi's return in 'A Toss to the Ace' and channels it inward, forcing Hinata to confront his own aspirations now that the team roster is solidifying. This is a crucial connective episode — it transforms the relief of reunion into forward-looking tension about individual purpose. It directly sets up 'Decision,' where the team's internal growth gets tested against real stakes.
