ep 17 (+18 when its released) livethread!! mute this because ill be yammering alot hehe

starting off with the title-- Cats vs. Monkeys is funny because uve got Sarakuwa Tech matching -> copying Nekoma& #39;s style of persistent defence (i.e., monkey see, monkey do)

i honestly didnt get the joke till i reread the chapter earlier before the sub came out!

interestingly enough, the kanji for Sarakuwa Tech HS has nothing to do with monkeys

monkeys can be translated as 猿 (saru), which maybe similar to the pronounciation of their kanji, but the connection ends there (no further comment on this as i dont speak japanese)

so the title itself is more of a reference to their playstyle in relation to nekoma, both teams from the start are seen to be annoyingly consistent, not allowing much balls to be scored

keep standing back up -> persistent, consistent

nice style kenma

for someone who hates the spotlight, hes pretty eye catching lmao

you dont need a strong reason or goal to keep doing smth, even liking one aspect of the game is good enough reason to keep playing

how did he get into the house at 5 am?

on first and second read of this chapter, i woulda honestly thought they were related haha

again, kenma doesnt enjoy volleyball as much as the other characters do, but he still finds fun in it, in his own way

kenma is actually pretty imaginative

just finding how it can be fun for you can be really uplifting!!

well, it is kinda hard when people so much more passionate than you berate your lack of interest :\

$well, it is kinda hard when people so much more passionate than you berate your lack of interest :\$

i remember feeling like this back when i was still in a club.. i did NOT want to be there at all

but i stayed anyways...

i was not as good as kenma to get onto the school team though, but i think i wouldnt have wanted that anyway

oh i just want to pat him on the head, funny little catboy

i think a common theme with the second years is dealing with inadequacy

some want to work towards being the best (see: Tora here)

others like tanaka, ennoshita, kazuhito deal with the idea of being & #39;average& #39;

and then you have kenma, who isnt enthused to go all out but still sticking with the sport anyways

because its like a video game, and kenma always sees a game through the end (but he does it as fast as possible too)

kuroo is one of the best captains like he seriously cares alot for his teammates (and he doesnt play favourites!! well. not practically)

wouldnt have been surprised if he came back in the timeskip as a nurse. but alas, we got smth equally as good

oh, and kenma cares for him too

even if it wasnt romantic, they rlly understand each other and i appreciate their dynamic alot..

yep. fondness

++ yakus judgemental and knowing stare

kenma values the knowns, like stats in a video game (?) seems to be consistent with his worldview

hes had to critically analyse his own gameplay (video games or volleyball) to become as good as he is, not to forget hes very strategic and analytical

i like how they mix his philosophy with his attitude tbh

he practices till hes good at something not because of & #39;guts& #39;

the feeling of being good at something, is fun

its fun to improve

cat

cat!

cats!!

nice freudian slip

another reason to play is cause u just like winning

its shallow, but who doesnt like to win? still valid

i love their pseudo rivalry, reminds me of kagehina

awww, kuroo has the cutest nicknames

!!! best friends hehe,,

do u think kenma dyed his hair to match tora?

okay that seems to be it for this ep!! bookmarking this thread for next week..
