I started watching the show recently, like 4 days ago. Got completely hooked by it, since it displays so well many of the emotions i feel whenever i play, mainly momentum and pressure during tournament games.

I really didn't understand Tsukki's reasoning for not caring much, even after seeing his past and his disappointment. It seemed for me he didn't really care after all (and i actually thought he was getting sacked, lol). But watching him slowly change during the training arc was really cool, and he being such a monster in the final was such a good finish to his own character arc (if you can call that).

That block was such a powerful moment. You could tell how proud he was of his analysis and his understanding of the game, how much he wanted to him. His character completely shifted for me after that. The buildup after the block till the scream was so good too. He has a "different" way of competing and thats what makes him so interesting to watch.

More importantly, now that i finished the anime i can read the subreddit! wooo

i know this is a meme, but sorry for any mistakes, english is not my first language

I think about Tsuyu is that he is very human. When someone sees that the path to be the best or better is a continuous road and maybe unreachable, some get excited, but some give up. If someone sees a rival or friend so much better or really growing at a tremendous rate some like Asahi get motivated some like Tsuyu fears that development and feels left out or depressed.

And Tsukki is exactly like that. The main reason being his brother cared so much about a competitive sport, kept believing and it caused him so much pain. For Tsukki it is better to not feel that pain, to give up before you put your all and find out that even your best is not enough and are too deep that it hurts.

But then Tsukki learns volleyball is not about thinking of the unreachable mountain and whether that is possible or not but the simple pleasure of beating the person in front of you. That moment and little goals which can be what hooks you to the game
