I really hate to admit but I fell in love with Oikawa's aura. He is really so cool and highly skilled. No wonder why Kageyama really admires him and the practice got more intense because of his presence.

Oikawa’s presence makes it all more interesting. The scene sequence is what makes this episode stand apart, and I personally prefer it. Every character contributes to the plot. And Takada’s explanation hit me hard. Foreshadowing on the spot again to introduce characters.

That last scene was so iconic. This was a solid episode with Oikawa already showing off his presence. He has that “pretty boy” vibe but also acts like a jerk, lol—kind of reminds me of a certain blonde from another sports anime.
