Inarizaki: The Haikyuu Team That Inspired Me

*SPOILERS TILL SEASON 4 OF HAIKYUU* (Haikyuu character analysis)
From Karasuno to Shiratorizawa, Haikyuu is an anime that is filled with diverse teams, each having their own unique playstyles and identities. In this video, I talk about a team that terrified and inspired me at the same time. With players like Miya Atsumu, Miya Osamu, Kita Shinsuke, and Ojiro Aran, it is a team that taught me so many lessons and made me feel so many emotions. Inarizaki is truly one of the greatest teams in Haikyuu.
Hope you enjoy!

Kita is my favorite character maybe it's because I don't have what he has. The discipline and commitment to a daily routine that bears fruites. The ability to stick to the process and let the reward just be part of it. I was going to request a dedicated video about Kita and his mindset but you covered it a bit here. Really like your videos

[mirus]

Out of all the philosophy in Haikyu, for me, Inarizaki has to be the best. The past can be crippling when we hold on to it instead of taking that past as just a lesson, a memory to teach us to make us stronger and better. Yesterday, used to be today and Tomorrow will be today. So, in a sense, today is all we have. Today is the only time we can do something for our future. The present is what we should focus on, and I think it greatly ties in with Kita's backstory... that his everyday habits made him.
P.S. You had me tearing up again or maybe I just love Haikyu too much that anything related to Haikyuu that resonates with me will make me cry.

I love the Miya twins, especially Atsumu. I will always argue that he is the best setter in the show. But more than anything, I love the appreciation for the team captain, Kita. His role in Atsumu's growth is definitely not a small one.

[stevodameek]

Bro no cap… It’s kinda crazy how in sync our thoughts are about this show. I love Inarizaki and the Miya twins for the same reasons. A controlled chaos that knows exactly what all his teammates is capable of, is both scary and the coolest thing ever! Great video! 💪🏽

[walkingpotato]

we need an inarizaki ova, if not i am officially declaring that we're robbed 🙄✋🏼

[laneykins]

Watching this, it's not surprising anymore that they had 3 of their players play for the Japan Team.

"muscle to be used and not dwelled upon", man. As someone who's most of the time focused on thinking and feeling, about the past or future but who abadons herself in the present, inarizaki scares me, but it's a mindset that i definitely need to adopt. To not be consumed by my thougths, frozen in time. Everywhere except the here and now. God, Haikyuu is just so good. Best story I've encountered, both in enjoyment and philosophy.

[hanatarou]

One of the reason I love Inarizaki is because of their philosophy. I'm glad to find somebody with the same idea.
Thank you for your video. Dude you are criminally underrated.

[subaitatasnim]

One of the other reason I love this match so much because it literally deconstructs the concept of 'prodigy/genius' through Kita. Like the players we call genius in the series are not genius because they are simply born like this. They're born with hunger for volleyball. They're willing to sacrifice their blood, sweat and tears to get good in the game and stay in the court.

It also showcases how people have hunger for different things in lives. Osamu doesn't have the same hunger for volleyball as Atsumu. But it's ok. It's ok to be good in something but leaving it for the lack of passion.

[brandonb.]

Haikyuu is full with awe-inspiring plays, but the most terrifying to me was the reverse freak quick with Osamu the spiker setting and Atsumu the setter spiking. The sheer difficulty of this play blows my mind when you consider all aspects of the situation these two were in.

[hishp]

I just now realized that the main purpose of the existence of Johzenji in the story is to contrast how they are the chaos parallel to Inarizaki if the chaos wasn't controlled and calculated

[TJKimi]

not gonna lie but my high school is literally Inarizaki . Because our jerseys are black with the jackets which are dark red. Also our coach keeps us from saying '' we don't need the memories ''. In our team, we have twin brothers who are me and my brother. I am opposite hitter and my brother setter. Our captain is as calm and intelligent as Kita. Inarizaki really inspired us whether it is the way they play volleyball or the characters of each character. So inspired that we think to be them and making a inarizaki irl team because we could choose our numbers. So I took number 11 and my brother 7.

[SkreltNL]

Oikawa & Atsumu are the reasons i am now a setter myself
this really struck home, thank you once more!

[buddah]

Chapter 283 depicts this motto so much by Karasuno. Earlier in the chapter Kita, whose character i adore, mentioned that he wasnt too fond of their motto and how he and daichi are probably the same in that they are the stable foundation that lets their wild children run free causing chaos for opponents.

In the middle of the chapter he mentally dictates how karasuno has not used a back row synchro attack at all against shiratorizawa and used it only once as a surprise attack against them.

And the chapter finishes with just that attack from daichi no less, one who is meant to captain their stability and not their trailblazer. The chapter overall hits so much more when you understand the depth of each panel

[elizalee]

This video was amazing!!! I think you covered really valid points. Honestly Inarizaki's banner is something that actually is really relevant in the sport, not just the anime. Its a philosophy I try get my teammates to understand, that we don't have the time or capacity to hold into the pointless memories of the past that will hold us back. As a wing spiker and captain myself, I fully can sympathise with any team, and Inarizaki is one of those teams that really does give anyone who watches them chills due to the raw power, effort and skill of each core member. A lot of the things these guys are pulling off are actually really difficult and I honestly love them for it. They actually have the right mindset to execute these attacks while thinking it thought during that short millisecond we have to think. Its amazing to pull of a lot of these things, and I'm glad you addressed this!

[emanelnagar]

I actually never got the meaning of their banner "we don't need the memories" and it has been bothering me all season.
Thanks a lotttt!
Perhaps i wasn't able to enjoy inarizaki as a team because I was on the edge of my seat rooting for Karasuno - obviously - but I did admire the miya twins and Kita, especially Kita, so it's always helpful when someone who was inspired by them talk about them.

[parboninawar]

I'm simping over Shinsuke Kita after being introduced to Inarizaki.He is LITERALLY the Standard, the role model.

[jaden-ling]

Even though I had re-watched haikyuu multiple times, I was never able to discern some ideas the author wanted to convey and you just put it into simple words. Thank you for this insightful review that is laudable, Keep up the good work

[DragonStar]

Kita is Haikyuu's best volleyball captain. PERIOD!

[gudfh]

I never go on YouTube to post anything (purely a watcher) but I’d like to say that haikyu has quite literally changed my life. I began to practice volleyball every single day for hours. I made a team of my friends and entered leagues. We got trounced all the time but I didn’t give up. A few years passed and a club (Downstate Volleyball Club) offered me an assistant coaching job. This year I’ve been given my own expansion team of low-mid level players. I plan on surprising the circuit like Karasuno did. What a journey I’m on…
