I really like Kenma, so it was good to watch this episode from his perspective and more of his team when Lev arrives, since he appeared out of nowhere in the beginning of season 2. This anime is wonderful!

I really enjoy how Haikyuu can focus on single players and still display the whole team.
Even though Tanaka's battle and Kageyama's state of mind are the focus here, this isn't a one man show, it's about the team. It's the obvious moments (like the inner monologue about Kageyama's bad king habit and the difference to Oikawa) and the smaller ones (like Hinata's thoughts about Tanaka and how Hinata and Nishinoya keep the ball in the air, supporting Tanaka).
Many anime are about friendship and how to overcome hardship, but Haikyuu really shows us how we can achieve greater things if we work as a team, and that we don't need to sacrifice our own goals and motivations to work together.

The second half of the show kinda drags a bit - the way Korean shows add scenes that don't add much to the story, and you can tell the scriptwriter changed things to accommodate the TV ratings - but the first half of the story, and some of the side story lines (e.g. Lee Jaekyung conspiracy, and the detectives) make the show worth finishing to the end.
