I got excited to watch Kageyama meeting his old teammates. I can feel that Kageyama feels nervous too, but Hinata is definitely more nervous than Kageyama lol. He is such an adorable guy that even the senpai can't feel angry but are instead worried about him.

The narration is pretty catchy. As the teacher wants to learn, he explains and helps the watchers learn about the game. This principle is a great diction that helps the watchers to accommodate the terminology of the game. The anticipation of a match drives the characters in.

Lmao, I felt bad for my ball of sunshine, but that’s exactly what made it so hilarious. The buildup to the upcoming match was well done, and the comedic scenes kept the episode entertaining.
