I 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!

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.
